Unpolished Rewind 33: An Unpolished Journey Interview with Sam Kelly
December 13, 2018 18:22 - 40 minutes - 44 MB“I think of failure as a closed door. It’s not a dead end, but it helps me move into a different direction.

Unpolished Rewind 28: Mom Guilt
December 05, 2018 20:29 - 28 minutes - 29.5 MBIt can be really hard to be all the things. The idea of having it all is great—but we can’t have it all in every moment and we need to acknowledge the realities of the tradeoffs we make in our choices. Mom life is just really hard, and it’s time we talked about it. We all feel different degrees of insecurities about being mothers, and these feelings of judgment are our projections of our own insecurities as we seek validation for the decisions we make. There are parallels between this and...

November 28, 2018 13:13 - 33 minutes - 35.8 MB“It felt so much better to give it a try then to keep suppressing what was inside of me. . . We are so capable, more capable than we even know.

As a wife and mama of four young girls, Emily was looking for a creative outlet and found it in quite the unconventional place that originally felt impossible.

Unpolished Rewind 07: The Vulnerability Hangover
November 21, 2018 06:42 - 29 minutes - 42.5 MBGoing back a whole year with this week's rewind! Have you ever woken up the day after you’ve done something vulnerable and thought to yourself – oh my goodness, what did I do?! Well, that is what Brene Brown calls a vulnerability hangover. In this episode, we dive deep into this topic and talk about our recent experiences and what we do to recover.

Unpolished 42: We Get to Choose
November 07, 2018 04:41 - 21 minutes - 23.8 MBThere is duality present within every situation—joy and pain, dark and light—and we often forget that we have the power to choose what we see. Our thoughts create our feelings, not the other way around. When we can learn to focus and choose how we are thinking about things and how we are seeing the world, our feelings then change. We also talk about the concept of seasons in our lives, how comparison is our default setting, and the need to give ourselves permission to feel the feelings. H...

Unpolished Rewind 8: Courage Over Comfort
October 02, 2018 18:07 - 28 minutes - 28.5 MBIt's time to rewind to one of our oldies but goodies. Have you listened to this episode yet? What happens we finally take that leap and are able to move past our fear? In this episode, Stacy talks about her experience finally doing something that she had avoided for a while, and what happened as a result. We talk about why doing the scary things our intuition is pushing us toward is so important, and how we can view this process as a game instead of a scary mountain we have to climb alone. ...
Unpolished 37: A Tornado In Your Face
September 25, 2018 03:56 - 21 minutes - 23 MBThings aren’t always supposed to feel good, and things aren’t always supposed to be easy. But, we’re never taught to accept this so when difficult circumstances happen to us it feels “wrong” or “bad”. We also often refer to life as “busy” or “crazy”, but isn’t that exactly what life is all about? Instead, we can choose to feel peace, or choose to feel balanced, and look for all aspects of life instead of focusing on the uncomfortable parts. It’s important to acknowledge that our lives are n...
Unpolished 36: Wait For It
September 18, 2018 15:42 - 25 minutes - 27.4 MBIt’s important to take a moment to celebrate the wins when they happen, regardless of their size. The entrepreneur journey never really looks like what we imagine, and it’s important to remember that it truly is a process. All we can do is take action on whatever is calling us and simply see what happens. When you plant a lot of seeds and take steps to water them, whatever that may look like, you’ll eventually see which seeds are meant to bloom and learn from the ones that aren’t blooming. ...
Unpolished 35: An Unpolished Journey Interview with Crystalee Beck
September 11, 2018 15:28 - 38 minutes - 41 MB“We have the power to create what we want.

After leavi...

September 04, 2018 12:47 - 24 minutes - 26.1 MBBeing vulnerable, confronting our fears, taking a leap—the entrepreneur life can get super serious at times, and we thought it was time to bring some lightheartedness to this podcast and share more about who we are on a different level. So in this episode, you’ll learn some fun facts about Sarah and Stacy including: Our first jobs Our spirit animals Our go-to karaoke song Our irrational fear Our favorite TV show Sometimes it feels like we don’t bring enough of who we are to our...
Unpolished 33: An Unpolished Journey Interview With Sam Kelly
August 28, 2018 02:31 - 39 minutes - 43.9 MB“I think of failure as a closed door. It’s not a dead end, but it helps me move into a different direction.

Unpolished 32: Know Your People Not Your Critics
August 21, 2018 03:43 - 21 minutes - 22.9 MBWe often spend so much energy trying to convince people of our value or make ourselves into someone who we are not. It’s a disservice to people who could benefit from what we have to offer if we don’t own our talents and gifts and simply share who we truly are. Our people will be drawn to this—we don’t need to spend time explaining ourselves to our critics, yet this is what we often do. Getting clear about who we are and what we’re passionate about is where we need to start. Working with th...
Unpolished 31: Confronting Our Privilege/Part 2
August 07, 2018 01:31 - 30 minutes - 31.8 MBContinuing the conversation we started last week, this episode looks at how our privilege shows up in the context of trying to build businesses in the wellness and coaching worlds. We start by discussing themes from @andrearanaej’s The Color of Wellness class including the lack of diversity we see, elitism, the difference between survival and having/wanting wellness, and the difference between equality and equity. We talk about how blame arises when we feel shame or guilt about privilege, ...
Unpolished 30: Confronting Our Privilege
July 31, 2018 03:26 - 36 minutes - 35.1 MBThis is the start of a much bigger conversation. This episode is our first step in recognizing the privilege we both are afforded, how that shows up in our lives, and what we can do to start to process it. The most powerful place for us to start is self-awareness. We can't take action until we recognize in ourselves our own biases and privileges and see how we are contributing (even unconsciously) to the problem. The world changes when we change. We must do the uncomfortable work, to be hon...
Unpolished 29: An Unpolished Journey Interview With Reelika Schulte
July 24, 2018 03:17 - 36 minutes - 38.6 MB“Be confident in your message. Know that there are people out there who need to hear what you have to share.

July 17, 2018 03:31 - 27 minutes - 27.9 MBIt can be really hard to be all the things. The idea of having it all is great—but we can’t have it all in every moment and we need to acknowledge the realities of the tradeoffs we make in our choices. Mom life is just really hard, and it’s time we talked about it. We all feel different degrees of insecurities about being mothers, and these feelings of judgment are our projections of our own insecurities as we seek validation for the decisions we make. There are parallels between this and...
Unpolished 27: The Emotional Rollercoaster
July 10, 2018 03:36 - 23 minutes - 25 MBWhat makes your soul come alive? What did you love doing as a child and how does that show up in your life today? When we start to clear away the clutter of who we think we should be and live as ourselves, there’s so much power and strength because there isn’t as much room for fear. The outcomes matter less because the feelings we’re after are felt simply by being who we are and standing in our truth. We’re going to experience both ends of the spectrum (the high-highs and the low-lows) and...
Unpolished 26: An Unpolished Journey Interview With Monica Packer
June 19, 2018 03:38 - 44 minutes - 47.6 MB“People get caught up in not starting something because they don’t think it’s going to be successful. That’s the biggest failure of all—to not even start. Nothing is a failure if it’s leading you to something else or helping you grow.” In this episode of the Unpolished Journey, we talk to fellow podcaster Monica Packer of About Progress. Monica Packer is a podcaster, writer, and recovering perfectionist. She is a wife and mother of four young children, living in the San Francisco East Bay. ...
Unpolished 25: Getting Personal
June 12, 2018 03:50 - 30 minutes - 31.3 MBThis episode almost never saw the light of day—it’s a deeply personal conversation that dives into the complicated emotions that come up on the self-awareness journey. We acknowledge that part of the entrepreneurial path is digging deep into yourself and confronting parts of you that may feel uncomfortable, yet the only option to breakthrough is to simply get curious and see what you can learn. We talk about imposter syndrome, the real me vs. the not real me, what our fear is trying to teach ...
Unpolished 24: The Little Things Lead to the Big Things
June 05, 2018 02:55 - 33 minutes - 34.4 MBWe continue our conversation from previous episodes on the idea of “unfolding” and look at how truly surrendering to this process and noticing how all the little pieces fall into place helps take the pressure off. While this perspective is empowering, it’s certainly not our natural inclination and is a choice we have to continue to make over time by training our brain. We share specific examples from our lives as to how this is showing up for us and explore how even the small or frustrating p...
Unpolished 23: The Power of Surrender
May 29, 2018 03:57 - 30 minutes - 31.4 MBThis episode begins with a conversation on the need to surrender and how it can actually be a good way to pause and enjoy what is right in front of us. We talk about how to approach this from a place of empowerment and remind each other that we can even be frustrated about things we are grateful for. Changing our perspectives is one of the most powerful things we can do, but changing how our brains automatically respond to things is a hard (but worthy) task to take on. We end the conversation...
Unpolished 22: An Unpolished Journey Interview with Emily Chipman
May 22, 2018 04:39 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MB“It felt so much better to give it a try then to keep suppressing what was inside of me. . . We are so capable, more capable than we even know.

Unpolished 21: The Struggle is Normal
May 08, 2018 04:38 - 24 minutes - 24.8 MBWe continue our discussion around being stuck in the mud and the discomfort of transitions. The struggle of the extreme highs and lows we’re experiencing is a challenge we constantly battle. We talk about how our primitive brains want to keep us safe, how we get to decide what is true is for us, and the importance of celebrating the process. We want to spark more conversations on the reality of this process, so people have more examples of what this journey is like (and particularly the inc...
Unpolished 20: An Unpolished Journey Interview with Harper Spero
May 01, 2018 05:08 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MB“There’s a lot of pressure to do things a certain way, and I’m doing my best to not let that prevent me from doing things the way I want to do it.” In our first installment of The Unpolished Journey, we’re excited to chat with Harper Spero, a business coach and consultant from New York City. We talk about her journey from the corporate world to the entrepreneur world, her evolution as a coach, the fears she faced in building her business, and how she balances a chronic health illness with so...
Unpolished 19: Stuck In The Mud
April 24, 2018 04:21 - 27 minutes - 27.6 MBIt’s no fun feeling like you’re stuck in the mud, but that’s the point of the entrepreneurial journey we find ourselves on. We dive deep into the muck in this episode and explore all the ways we’re experiencing this in our lives. We look at how the hard parts are connected to the good parts much like when an acorn falls from a tree and has to be buried in the mud before it can sprout new life. We also discuss our daily battle with social media, and how we can find ways to better manage our ti...
Unpolished 18: Joy Hangovers and Gratitude
April 17, 2018 04:46 - 21 minutes - 21.9 MBHave you ever thought that you can be grateful for something and appreciate what it offers to your life, even if you really don’t like that thing (like taxes or a corporate job)? This nugget of wisdom comes out of a discussion around a joy hangover Stacy experienced for the first time. We talk about what this looks like in each of our lives and how it relates to: The human tendency to categorize things as black and white Why zebras don’t get ulcers (great book if you haven’t read it: ht...
Unpolished 17: When the Work Doesn’t Feel Productive
April 10, 2018 04:43 - 20 minutes - 20.4 MBWhat happens when working doesn’t feel like work? Is it a sign that you’re not actually being productive? Or does it mean that you’re actually accomplishing a step on the path to your larger goal(s)? In this episode we talk about: How to feel productive and accomplished when you’re doing something that doesn’t feel like work The idea of gamification to create milestones that make you feel progress in your business How to structure and label your time to acknowledge what’s contributing ...
Unpolished 16: Getting Out of Our Own Way
March 27, 2018 05:07 - 26 minutes - 26.5 MBWhy is it that we are often our own worst enemies? It can be so hard to acknowledge our own strengths and is often why we all tend to seek validation from others. In this episode, we talk about how this applies to Sarah’s current calling to try something new in her business and how she has a choice to listen to the calling or the insecurities it triggers. We discuss how uncomfortable it can be to acknowledge and own our gifts and why this leads us to self-sabotage our efforts. We also talk ab...
Unpolished 15: Let It Unfold
March 20, 2018 04:58 - 28 minutes - 27.7 MBHave you ever noticed how decluttering the physical space of your home can create fresh space in your life to invite in something new? Sarah shares an update on the impact of her big purge and we discuss how timing and fuel are the key ingredients to make something like this actually work. When we address what we need in each moment, our lives can feel so much different. Stacy shares her experience owning her needs on a recent business trip and how the idea of unfolding is resonating with her...
Unpolished 14: Fear and The Inner Critic
March 13, 2018 05:08 - 21 minutes - 19.2 MBThis week is all about the nagging, negative voice in our ears called the Inner Critic. It tends to get louder when we start stepping into something new and it likes to find sneaky ways to distract and dissuade us with fear and that not-good-enough feeling. We talk about finding ways to take the pressure off and ways to work with the fear. We also discuss how we’ve found that setting intentions and taking action is often the open door that fear enters through. We end with a helpful exercise t...
Unpolished 13: Decluttering
March 06, 2018 05:26 - 28 minutes - 27.9 MBHave you ever noticed a connection between the amount of clutter in your life and the level of chaos you feel? This episode dives into the energy of clutter as we talk about the massive purge Sarah is about to take on in her life. We talk about the art of decluttering, how we hold on to ideas and things far past their usefulness, why letting go of mental clutter is so much harder, and more. Sarah offers a new perspective on how we can relate to other people triggering negative emotions and th...
Unpolished 12: Belonging to Yourself
February 27, 2018 05:25 - 26 minutes - 26.3 MBWhat does it mean to truly belong to yourself? This episode focuses on the core theme of Braving the Wilderness by Brene Brown. Sarah shares a personal story of how she experienced this herself and discusses the interesting dance of sharing opinions on social media. When you can stand in your truth no matter what anyone else thinks, there’s a ripple effect of how grounded and powerful this can make you feel. Giving yourself permission to be who you are looks different when your mind vs. you...
Unpolished 11: The Inspiration Tribe
February 20, 2018 05:30 - 22 minutes - 23 MBHave you ever had the experience of your soul nodding “heck yes!”? That feeling is what this conversation is all about. Sarah shares an update on her experience hosting a recent workshop and how she did NOT have a vulnerability hangover this time. Her experience was radically different because she felt more confident in her authenticity and was coming from a place of giving the gifts she could give instead of from the need to perform. We talk about how shifting our mindset can take the pres...
Unpolished 10: Authenticity
February 13, 2018 05:23 - 23 minutes - 20.8 MBWe talk a lot about vulnerability on this podcast, and in this episode, we explore the idea of authenticity through two different analogies we’ve both come across. Sarah shares the metaphor of how we present ourselves to the world is like a room that we get to decorate however we want. It’s scary to present the room exactly as you want it, showcasing every detail that represents you, but having the courage to be exactly who we are is where we can find deeper joy. When we think about how thi...
Unpolished 09: The Art of Showing Up
February 06, 2018 06:55 - 27 minutes - 23.7 MBWhat if we looked at every experience as an opportunity to learn something? When it comes to building our businesses, we’ve found that this approach really helps us stay open to possibilities and find even the smallest ways to move forward. This episode starts off with Stacy sharing insights that she learned from a recent round of giving free coaching calls and how the idea of practicing confidence is more about getting out of our own way and letting it come through. We explore the idea that...
Unpolished 08.5: Right Now Is The Destination
February 02, 2018 06:17 - 13 minutes - 15.3 MBProgress isn’t usually a straight line - sometimes there are loops and circles, but it’s all still movement. If you drew a bunch of loops on a piece of paper, the line is still moving forward even though there’s a portion of that loop that’s moving backward. This mini-episode was a parting thoughts conversation we had after wrapping up a previous podcast recording. We talk about the importance of knowing our triggers so that we can set the right boundaries for ourselves. We also discuss how...
Unpolished 08: Courage Over Comfort
January 30, 2018 05:06 - 28 minutes - 28.5 MBWhat happens we finally take that leap and are able to move past our fear? In this episode, Stacy talks about her experience finally doing something that she had avoided for a while, and what happened as a result. We talk about why doing the scary things our intuition is pushing us toward is so important, and how we can view this process as a game instead of a scary mountain we have to climb alone. Being authentic, vulnerable, and telling our story - whatever that may be in the moment - is a...
Unpolished 07: The Vulnerability Hangover
January 23, 2018 05:28 - 28 minutes - 27.9 MBHave you ever woken up the day after you've done something vulnerable and thought to yourself - oh my goodness, what did I do?!

Unpolished 06: A Productive Waste of Time
January 16, 2018 07:01 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MBWe all find ourselves saying “I don’t have enough time”, but is that really true? When we really think about it, we actually end up wasting a lot of time—from mindlessly looking at our phones, to being uncomfortable with doing nothing, or even getting caught up in thoughts that aren’t productive. In this episode, we talk through ways of minimizing the anxiety around wasting time and commit to testing out small ways in which we can each be more productive and add more balance to our lives. A...
Unpolished 05: Confronting Fear
January 09, 2018 05:03 - 27 minutes - 23.8 MBThis episode focuses on what it’s like to put ourselves out there and the scary vulnerability that comes with testing and learning. We each share a personal story around the experience of offering our services for free in the spirit of moving our businesses forward.

After listening t...
Unpolished 04: Being Okay With Being Real
December 30, 2017 16:10 - 18 minutes - 15.9 MBWhat started as a conversation around professional family photographs turned into a conversation around vulnerability, authenticity and so much more. In this episode, we discuss the downfall of the word should, the unnecessary pressure we put on ourselves by trying to compete with the perfect social media photo, and the value that each and every one of us provides by putting our own unique filter on the different ideas and experiences we each come across. We all need to find our own way of be...
Unpolished 03: The Comparison Trap
December 30, 2017 15:57 - 15 minutes - 13.7 MBWhy do we get so triggered by people posting that they found the miracle solution? Or the perfect family photo? Why do we all get stuck in the trap of trying to make it sound like we’re all further along and experienced than we actually are? What would happen if we just spoke from the place of our raw, real, authentic selves? And what would happen if we gave ourselves permission to change the rules in our lives at any point in time? In this episode, we dive into these questions and more! In ...

December 30, 2017 02:43 - 12 minutes - 11.1 MBCrankitude. What is this yucky feeling that sometimes pops up and throws a monkey wrench in your day? What does it mean when your soul is out of alignment with some aspect of your life?

Here’s the blog post from Tara Mohr that Stacy mentions sparked some insights for her: http://www.taramohr.com/2017/11/pain-of-the-soul/ After listening to this episode, come join our...
Unpolished 01: Resistance is Futile
December 30, 2017 02:32 - 18 minutes - 16.8 MBWhat happens when we allow ourselves to just feel the feelings? It’s scary, but an important way to move through some tough emotions. This episode starts off by examining one of our favorite quotes: “Pain = Struggle x Resistance” and later comes back to the idea of clean pain vs. dirty pain and how pain can actually be used as a path to learning and growth. We also talk about how we talk to ourselves is so different than how we talk to our friends—and the need to find more compassion on the r...
Unpolished 00: A Very Unpolished Introduction
December 29, 2017 21:21 - 20 minutes - 18.7 MBMeet Sarah and Stacy, two women whose lives fatefully crossed paths on their entrepreneurial journey. This episode almost never saw the light of day, but in the spirit of being unpolished, we decided to share so people get to hear our story and understand how we met and why we decided to create this podcast in the first place. We can find plenty of examples of people who “made it” on the entrepreneurial journey, but the middle part—the part that’s messy and hard and where both of us find ou...
