Interior Design Business - Terri Taylor - Getting Out of Your Own Way - 20 min

What do you do when your inner voice becomes your inner critic?

It happens to us all. Unfortunately, we’re much harder on ourselves than we are on anyone else. I bet you’d never talk to your loved ones the way you often talk to yourself. 

How do you get past that voice when it’s telling you that you’re not good enough or you don’t have what it takes? The truth is, you’ll continue to get in your own way unless you actively choose to do the mindset work.  

In this episode, host Terri Taylor is teaching us how to start working on our mindset so that we can choose what thoughts we want to listen to and learn to get out of our own way. 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why you need to work on your mindset 

• The power of your thoughts 

• How to get out of your own way

The Affluent Creative - Melissa Galt - Your Permission Slip to Play (for More Profit) - 40 min

When was the last time that you invested and treated yourself to some quality self-care time? Is self-care something that you allow for yourself regularly or do you find yourself putting it off until you’re less busy? The way that you view self-care is directly connected to the path of burnout. And though it may sound daunting at first, it is very possible to build a successful creative practice without compromising your well-being. You just need to give yourself permission.

Today’s episode from host Melissa Galt aims to give you just that: the permission to figure out your ticks, your expectations, and your preferences, and allow yourself to indulge in them from time to time, gifting yourself the kind of self-care that you deserve. We’re talking all about that critical ingredient of balance within your business so that you can step off the path to burnout.

Melissa shares her strategies for managing a busy creative career, family time, and rest in such a manner that one aspect doesn't undermine the others. Together, we'll explore strategies and solutions, including treating yourself to some luxury, blocking off personal time on your calendar months ahead, and checking in with your own expectations of what play looks like for you.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Tips on achieving a harmonious work-life balance and avoiding burnout

• The crucial role of setting clear expectations and standards, especially when traveling with others

• The necessity of being aware of one's triggers and how to manage them effectively
