The Brassy Broadcast with Jen Edds

This episode reminded me why I started podcasting. It was an opportunity to spend time with two of my most favorite people in the world while sharing them with you. It’s a win for everyone! Amy Woodall and Lindsay Boccardo join me for this episode. They are both returning guests, but it has been more than a minute since we last chatted. You know those people that always make you feel better when you’ve spent time in their presence? That is how I always feel after spending time with these two! They leave me in better shape than they found me, even when I’m already having a fantastic day! I have a hunch they will do the same for you. We are constantly told by the online business “experts” that we need to niche down. Amy and Lindsay are taking a more expansive approach to their podcasts and their work, and it is working for them. They share why they started their podcasts and what keeps them coming back. Spoiler Alert: It’s not big sponsorships and massive download numbers! I intended to talk about podcasting, but as it goes with these two, our conversation goes deeper than just podcasting. We talk about alignment, mindfulness, authenticity, curiosity, playfulness, and of course, and how those things impact our podcast and how we show up. As we wrapped up the episode, I felt inspired, empowered, and reconnected to why I started podcasting. Let's tap into our alignment, embrace mindfulness, live authentically, nurture our curiosity, and sprinkle a healthy dose of playfulness into our lives. Podcasting is not just about the numbers and business strategies. It's about creating a space for connection, authenticity, and clarity. Trust your intuition, follow your heart, and let the conversations flow. Key Takeaways (01:45) The Power of Mindfulness: Amy reminds us that true growth and leveling come from working on the internal stuff, not the external. (14:22) The Power of Self-Reflection: Amy shares how the fears we project on other people are really telling us something we need to discover about ourselves (17:12) The Importance of Representation in Telling LGBTQ+ Stories: Lindsay reminds us that the story of LGBTQ+ folks doesn’t just end when they come out. It’s ongoing and it’s important to continue to hear these voices and stories. (22:58) Worthiness and Confidence: Amy talks about how our ability to learn, recognize patterns, process, and make shifts that impact our confidence and how we view our worthiness as we grow into ourselves (23:12) Finding Alignment: Lindsay stressed the importance of aligning our thoughts, actions, and values. (33:59) Playfulness Fuels Connection: Lindsay emphasized the magic of playfulness in creating engaging environments and fostering connections. Through laughter and light-heartedness, we can tackle serious subjects and make them more approachable. So, let's loosen up and have some fun.

Why haven't you done the thing you keep saying that you want to do - start the podcast, write the book, create a course, or make YouTube videos? Whatever your thing is - why haven't you done it? What obstacles or issues keep getting in your way? This episode is inspired by two books I'm currently reading: 1. The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday 2. Traction by Gino Wickman I'm sharing how I'm using inspiration and practices from both books to help me name my own obstacles and work through them, so I'm more consistent in publishing my own podcasts, YouTube videos, social media posts, and blog posts. These are all things I say I'm committed to doing for my business, but have struggled to do consistently in years past.

Welcome to the latest incarnation of The Brassy Broadcast. The podcast that has taken long periods of rest and has served a variety of purposes since it launched in 2014. I'm Jen Edds, The Head Broad in Charge at The Brassy Broadcasting Company and this is my podcast. There are a few definitions of brassy when you look them up online. Most definitions paint “brassy” in a negative light of being harsh, loud, tasteless, showy, or resembling brass in color. And then….when you scroll down….you see brassy described as brazen, bold, audacious, unashamed, unrestrained by convention and propriety. I want to live a brassy life - A life lived boldly, brazenly, audaciously, and unrestrained by convention and propriety. In my world, Brassiness thrives in the intersection of curiosity, creativity, and caring no more what most folks think. I'll be sharing what I'm learning along my own adventures to live a bold and brassy life. Here’s your disclaimer: I’m no subject matter expert. Far from it. I’m just a curious broad full of questions.

We road-tripped to Louisville, Ky, in this latest Brassy Roadcast adventure. Highlights included a bourbon tasting at the Angel's Envy distillery, a guided ghost walk through Old Louisville, shopping, and dinner at La Bodeguita de Mima.

We spent time in the Blue Ridge Parkway National Park getting our stamp and visiting the Folk Art Center. Then we were off to explore downtown Asheville. We ended the day with a walking ghost tour of downtown.

We're back with another Brassy Roadcast adventure from Asheville, North Carolina, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our first stop was Biltmore Estate to see the Christmas decorations.

What if…we were encouraged to bring our creativity and our unique gifts to work with us? What would the world look like? Would we be better humans? Would we do better work? Would we feel more satisfied and happy in our work lives and beyond? What are the consequences of stuffing that creativity way down deep inside us? Rebecca Fleetwood Hession, host of The Badass Women’s Council podcast joins me for this episode. In addition to talking about creativity and how we can use our unique gifts and talents professionally, Rebecca also talks about the challenges she had to overcome to get her podcast out into the world…and what has happed as a result of putting out her first sh*tty podcast episode….

Public speaking can be a crippling fear. I wonder how many of us it keeps from really reaching our full potential. I've had to get a handle on my own fears around speaking and performing in public. I'm still a bundle of nerves before I hit the stage and it doesn't matter if it's a speaking gig or I'm playing music. Joining Toastmasters helped me significantly.

It’s not a priority if it’s not a practice. The one thing that has become crystal clear to me in 2020 is that if I don’t have a practice around something that I say I want to accomplish, then it really isn’t a priority. It’s a just “that would be nice.” One of the core pillars supporting that bridge to Legendary status is RESPONSIBILITY. As the HBIC (Head Broad in Charge), I have to take responsibility for failure to meet the goals I have scribbled down in scattered notebooks and spreadsheets. If these goals were really priorities for me, I would have built a practice around how I would reach them. This isn’t new information. As a kid, when I wanted to make more free throws, I spent time practicing shooting free throws. I had a ritual that I followed every time I stepped to the line. I still do it. BackSpin the ball. 3 bounces. Line it up. Shoot. Follow Through. You already know what practice looks like. Now it’s time to take action to achieve the priorities that really matter to you. My process for creating practices around priorities: 1. Determine if the WHY matters enough that I will show up and put in the necessary work. 2. Outline your practice and keep it consistent. 3. Block Time on your calendar I started a morning routine after reading Hal Elrod’s book The Miracle Morning a few years ago. I always felt better when I did it, but I was inconsistent in the practice. I got serious about committing to practicing my morning routine back in March. It was the ONE THING I could do that felt like I had some control over what was happening in a world filled with uncertainty. The Practices in My Morning Routine 1. Work out hard for 20 minutes 2. Journal 3. Meditate 4. Work on my business and not “in” my business. Each practice has a very clear WHY attached to it. My morning routine practice is sacred. Nothing else happens in my morning until my morning routine is completed. I’ve accomplished more in my business, during a global pandemic, because I have committed to this morning routine practice. Now it's your turn. I want to hear from you. What practice has changed your life or business? Do you have a morning routine that sets the tone for success?
