As you can tell from the title of this episode, today is the last episode of Grow With Soul. I don’t really know what to say after that. It feels like I need to say everything at once. I know some of you have been listening from the very beginning and some of you have only more recently found the podcast, and I imagine you may have feelings of some description around this news. Today, I thought I’d tell you how and why I came to this decision, show you the thought process, and hopefully leave you with one last pep talk.

Today I’m doing a quick crash course in energetic working, or working according to your energy levels not in spite of them. I know energy is often a topic that people are interested in, and I’ve spent a lot of time over the last two years getting to know how my physical and mental energy works and changing the way I work, and the entire rhythm of my business, to work alongside those patterns. In this episode I’m talking about how I’m defining energetic working, how to get started with planning your tasks with your energy, and how to start making this work not just in theory but in reality too.

Today’s episode is all about having ideas. I think we really worry about having ideas - we worry when we’re not having them, and we worry whether they’re “right” when we do get them. Being blocked and in an idea rut is a lonely, scary and frustrating place to be, so today I thought I’d talk to you about how I get ideas - about the kind of mindset I’ve cultivated, and the kind of activities and questions that always help me spark something.

Today’s episode is a deep dive into getting started with Human Design with Annika Roberts. Annika and I met in a group coaching programme with Madison Morrigan, and I was always dumbfounded by her depth of knowledge about human design and how nuanced it made her view of herself and the world. I wanted to get her on to talk about what Human Design is and how to get started with it, as well as how to start using it - but we ended up with much simpler answers than I’d imagined.

Today’s episode is four pep talks on four of the things that become bad habits in our work. They are all things that I have done, and all things that people I’ve worked with have done too. This isn’t meant in a shame-y way; these are just the grooves we slip into in our work, that even serve us for a time, but which eventually stop us having a happier, calmer work life. I’ll talk about over-committing yourself, sticking to the plan, following the rules and making things mean something. There are lots of fun stories as well as practical next steps in here, so, let’s get going.

Today I’m excited to share with you a lot of thoughts I’ve been having about process; about the creative process, about working process, about processes that are beautiful and pleasurable and that work. This thinking came about after an August that didn’t go to plan, so we’ll talk about that, and then get into the nuts and bolts of defining process, describing my own beautiful and replicable process and get into thinking about process as a practice for grounding into a generative life.

Today I am catching up with Sasha to talk about our work in life as we enter the summer season. We talk a lot about the difference between having a hobby business and side hustle, and why that’s not a bad thing, taking enjoyment seriously, monetising, freeing up the pressure and finally finally ditching the Instagram rules. We also talk about Sasha’s summer of fun, and the commitment to be here enjoying life. This is the last episode for a couple of weeks as I take a break for August, but we will be back in September.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been pre-launching The Cabin and writing a lot of content on the blog that really digs into some of the concepts we’ll be immersing in in The Cabin. In the last episode, how to be fulfilled, I super briefly covered the nine pillars, so today I’m sharing the four deep dives from the blog: Presence, Devotion, Ritual and Effort.

Clickbait episode title alert! This is not going to be an episode that’s going to tell you an exact formula for feeling fulfilled in the next 3-5 working days - but I think you know me well enough by now to know that wasn’t really going to happen. Rather, today I want to talk about what I’ve learned about fulfilment so far, giving you some jumping off points on your own journey.

Today I have a topic for you that has been coming up for me over and over again in conversations with friends, with people I work with, and in my own head: overcorrection. We know what it means to overcorrect in a car, but we do it in our decision-making too. We experience something as so painful, so frustrating, so unbearably uncomfortable, that we turn the wheel a full 180 in our efforts to get away from it. And sometimes that works. But often it leads us somewhere we don’t actually want to go.
