Gifts For You Ep. 4 Featuring Jasmine Star and Vivi Devereaux

This week we bring you our 4th episode of this series; a conversation with Jasmine Star and Vivi Devereaux.

Here is the background on this project:

In the last few months leading up to my daughter’s birth, I began a podcast project.

I had a few intentions with this project. 

I wanted her to have a set of recordings that could serve as a time capsule of what life was like just as she was arriving.  And for her to begin life already surrounded by a community who was invested in her. 

In the end, I interviewed over 20 people for this project.

I began these recordings in the late summer of 2019.  

Little did I know what was awaiting all of us just around the corner. 

As I’ve been relistening to these recordings I have found deep meaning in each conversation, and I hope you will appreciate them too.

That is why we are starting the 2022 season of THE Celebration podcast by sharing a new edited edition of these interviews. 

The series is entitled: Gifts For You. 

It will span 13 episodes in total. 

I hope you enjoy it.

Give Closure to 2020 & Intentionally Start 2021

2020, right? Wow.  I could probably start every episode writeup this way and get away with it. 

Here’s the thing - I bet if we took the time - there is a lot we can get out of reflecting on 2020. 

The intention of this week’s episode is to provide you with the time, space, and process to do so. 

This episode also acts as a time capsule. 

1 year ago I sat down with a group of my friends and we went through a writing workshop to get clear on our intentions for 2020. 

Little did we know…

And yet - no matter what surprises and worldwide pandemics the future will hold - getting intentional first offers us a foundation to stand on. 

That is why I’m bringing this episode back to life as a replay for you this week. 

First and foremost it gives me the opportunity to go through this writing workshop myself and create closure for 2020, while also giving life to 2021. 

Secondly, I hope it allows you to do the same. 

Even if you don’t have time to sit down and write as you listen - you’ll still get a lot out of going through the writing prompts mentally. 

If you don’t take the time now - 2020 is going to be done and dusted before we even know it. 

Please - give yourself the gift of reflection by going through this episode. 

Do yourself that favor. 

Hit play.

Go With the Fear & Grow With Dijana Llugolli

It is vital to cultivate a healthy relationship with fear and failure. 

Yeah. 

I know.

Easier said than done. 

In order to live this truth, I have to recommit to it every single day. 

Because every single day fear makes itself known. 

I feel it as a tight knot in my stomach. 

Tension in my shoulders. 

I recognize it in my defensiveness. 

When I’m short with people. 

I see it clearly during the times where I would rather be right than happy. 

Where I fight for my limiting beliefs. 

Fear would have me clutch the painful familiar rather than embrace the liberating unknown. 

I have learned it isn’t possible to get rid of fear.

Or to vision board it away. 

Instead, I must accept it as part of my present experience. 

Without resistance. 

Without fighting it. 

Just observe it. 

And little by little, its grip releases. 

A huge factor in this journey is being conscious of the voices I let into my head. 

I want to be really intentional that I am ingesting words and energy that contribute to a growth mindset. 

That is why I am so intentional of the guests I share with you each week on T.H.E. Celebration. 

On that note, this week's guest, Dijana Llugolli, is a rock star when it comes to fear and growth. 

Diana Dijana Llugolli is a leading success and business coach in Scandinavia with a client base in 23 different countries. Her story as an online marketer, coach, and speaker started in March 2018, when she burned out, nearly divorced, and, on the verge of giving up, decided to make a pivotal change in her business. 

After that rock bottom, she became obsessed with working smarter rather than harder, and she is now the go-to expert for female entrepreneurs who are ready to make more impact, influence, and income. 

Her genius lies in her knowledge of automation, systems, and funnels – and now, she is on a mission to support a million women to be, do, and have whatever they desire. To live their version of a Freedom Lifestyle.

I had so many “aha!”s while recording this episode, and I’ve been really excited for its release! 

At the root of our goals, our intentions, and our visions is our mindset. 

This conversation with Dijana is going to serve you in such a big way. 

So take a deep breath. 

Exhale. 

And then hit play. 

Let’s do this.

Gifts for My Child Episode 7

Featuring: Shelby Birch, Moses Weir, Walter Wally B. Jennings, and Jessica Estevez

Wow! Can you believe it?! This is the final episode of the ‘Gifts for My Child’ series. For those of you just tuning in – I highly recommend you start with episode 1 of this series. 

I am so grateful to all of my friends who shared their time, their love, and their wisdom with Jayanma by participating in this project. 

There are so many intentions and aspirations that went into this project. One of the main ones being that I want Jayanma to know that there is a community of people ready to listen and be there for her. 

As a new dad, these interviews have been such a resource! 

I am so excited for Jayanma to listen to this as she gets older. I envision her checking them out 32 years later, and reflecting on her dad creating them while he was 32 and preparing for her arrival. 

Wow. What a fun thought. 

Speaking of – I’d love to hear your thoughts on this project. And, as always, if you have any advice or reflections on any questions I asked my guests, please send them in!

Thank you so much for listening to this series!
