  • Summary

  • Are you a creative professional looking for practical and simple strategies for setting clear expectations and boundaries that stick, and to make good decisions for yourself and your career without pissing people off? If so, then you're in the right place! Let's build you a more Joyful and Thriving™ life. We all want a joyful career in their business - lawyers, designers, yogis, accountants, architects, and everyone in between. And let's be honest - personal development is at the heart of entrepreneurship. You've got to be able to set the right expectations from the get-go. I'll help you do this by giving you the foundations so you don't have to Google it, and then specific prompts that will help you make aligned decisions. I've been told I am a breath of fresh air you didn't know you needed, and I am most focused on helping you be a joyful, laughter-filled, healthy human, which will attract the right clients, compensation, and projects you want. I've been living on two continents for over 17 years, make sleep my priority, and more than anything else: I want you to know that the life you always thought you'd have by now is so much closer than you think! Each episode will help you reflect on what you already know (intellectually), ask you questions you might not have realized you needed the answers to (emotionally), and then help you connect the two so you can get clarity about what you want. My mission is to help you get the clarity, confidence, and courage you need to build your life exactly how you want it, no matter what obstacles you think exist. ------------------------- 🥰 Find out more about what working with me looks like at sheilawilkinson.com and follow me over on Instagram @sheilamwilkinson 💌 Grab my FREE Plug and Play Email Templates for telling people what you need without burning bridges at sheilawilkinson.com/scripts What Would Sheila Say?® is an Original CreativesEd® Podcast.

  • How to Use Yoga to Prepare Body, Mind, and Spirit for Birth with Bec Conant {Ep. 75}

    How to Use Yoga to Prepare Body, Mind, and Spirit for Birth with Bec Conant {Ep. 75}
    Oct 31 2024
    📚 Psst - Links to the Free E-Books are ONLY available below in the show notes! In this episode, we welcome Bec Conant, an expert in the prenatal and birth field. Bec is the founder of ‘Om Births,' an online program for pregnant people and new parents. With over 20 years of experience teaching prenatal yoga, the discussion covers various aspects of the birthing process, preparation, and recovery. Bec shares her journey from a career in dance and movement to becoming a prenatal yoga instructor and birth doula. The conversation delves into the importance of physical and mental preparation for birth, the intersection of yoga with the birthing experience, and how new parents can continue to care for themselves postpartum. The episode also touches on Bec's new book 'The Om Births Approach,' her techniques, and the support she offers through online prenatal and postnatal yoga classes. I highly encourage you to explore Bec's resources, including free eBooks and her main book available on Amazon and her Publisher’s site. 05:42 Bec's Work and Support for Pregnant and Postpartum People07:02 The Importance of Postpartum Support09:41 Holistic Approach to Birth and Postpartum26:01 First Yoga Class Experience28:09 The Worst Yoga Class Ever28:59 Diving Deeper into Prenatal Yoga29:36 Becoming a Doula30:49 First Doula Experience34:02 The Power of Letting Go43:44 Writing the Book49:54 Advice for Pregnant Yogis 👉🏽 COMPELLING EPISODE QUOTES FROM BEC: “The roadmap to motherhood doesn't stop. When you birth the baby, that's just one very, very cool rest stop.” “Life is inherently uncertain. How we interact with that uncertainty is the foundation of every meditation practice, but it's also really the story of how your life unfolds.” “Every contraction you fight is one you have to do over.” “If you go into a yoga class and you're not a fan of the teacher, or it doesn't feel right, don't assume that it's yoga that's the problem. Don't write off the whole practice entirely. Assume it's them. Assume the teacher was the issue.” “The focus of yoga really wants to be just feeling your body move, just feeling what it feels like to be in different shapes, to breathe in a different way, to shift your attention from our everyday, very outward, very judgmental, very categorizing lens to a more inward, compassionate, accepting quality.” 📧 RESOURCES FROM THE SHOW 🎄🕎 NO BS BOUNDARIES: HOLIDAY EDITION WORKSHOP Connect with Bec Grab Bec’s Book - The Om Births Approach: How to use your yoga practice to prepare body, mind, and spirit for birth Links to the Free E-Books are ONLY available here in the show notes: Free E-book on Essential Pregnancy Movements to feel more comfortable in pregnancy and be better prepared for birth Free E-book on Essential Postpartum Movements to begin finding your way back to movement safely post birth Share your takeaways and tag us on Instagram and LinkedIn: IG - Sheila and Bec LinkedIn - Sheila and Bec ✍🏽 LET’S CONNECT!

  • Reigniting Creative Passions: From Burnout to Breakthrough with Mike Brennan {Ep. 74}

    Reigniting Creative Passions: From Burnout to Breakthrough with Mike Brennan {Ep. 74}
    Oct 17 2024
    In this insightful episode, you’ll engage with Creative Consultant Mike Brennan to discuss the journey of rediscovering and sustaining creativity in everyday life and business. Together, we explore the vulnerability of creativity, establishing a daily creative habit, overcoming societal pressures, and the therapeutic power of creative expression. Mike shares his personal transformation from ministry burnout to becoming a creative professional through a 365-day art challenge, highlighting the importance of reflection, small consistent actions, and systematic approaches to maintain creative momentum. Listen in to gain practical advice on integrating creativity into your life, reconnecting with personal passions, and leveraging tools like the Daily Creative Habit journal to foster continuous growth and innovation. 05:32 Mike's Journey and Creative Philosophy 13:17 The Daily Creative Habit 21:32 Rediscovering Art and Creativity 38:47 Integrating Life and Creativity 40:31 Overcoming Creative Blocks 47:13 Consistency and Prioritization 59:40 Resources for Creativity 👉🏽 KEY TAKEAWAYS Daily Creative Habit as a Solution: Mike emphasizes the importance of establishing a "daily creative habit" to foster consistency in creative work, especially for those feeling stuck or overwhelmed by other priorities. Everyone is Creative: The episode expands the definition of creativity beyond traditional arts, explaining that creativity manifests in various forms like organizing, cooking, writing, or even building systems. Overcoming Creative Repression: The podcast discusses how many individuals, especially lawyers and other professionals, suppress their creativity because of societal or familial expectations. The message is clear: it's never too late to reignite creative passions. Intentional Creative Time: Creativity doesn’t just happen on its own; you must intentionally carve out time and space for creative exploration, even if you’re living a busy or demanding life. Transformative Power of Creativity: The episode shares personal stories about how reconnecting with creative practices helped the speaker and others rediscover joy, passion, and a sense of purpose, highlighting how creativity can bring healing and fulfillment. 👉🏽 COMPELLING EPISODE QUOTES "I help people establish what I call a daily creative habit. It’s for those who want to engage with their creativity but have lost touch, or who have a creative goal yet struggle with consistency." - Mike Brennan "We need to expand our definition of what creativity is so that it’s more inclusive, not just confined to painting or performing arts. You can be creative in how you organize, cook, or even build systems." - Mike Brennan "So many lawyers are repressed creatives. They’re told, ‘You can’t make money with that. It’s a nice hobby but not a career.’ And then they choose a path like law, never realizing how creative they actually are." - Sheila M. Wilkinson "There was a time when you created something just because it brought you joy. What if you returned to that place, where your work wasn’t tied to clients or expectations, but simply to you?" - Mike Brennan "Creativity is about showing up, doing a lot of bad work before you get to the good, and going on a journey of self-discovery and curiosity." - Mike Brennan 📧 RESOURCES FROM THE SHOW Connect with Mike and Sign up for Mike’s free newsletter Grab your copy of the 90–Day Creative Habit Tracker!
