On Wednesday, I was live on a local San Francisco TV talk show The View From The Bay. I talked with co-hosts Spencer Christian and Janelle Wang about balancing acts for busy moms (you can watch it here). Janelle, Spencer and everyone at the studio are so incredibly nice which made the whole experience even that much more enjoyable. I am extremely grateful to the several Lady Launchers who cheered me on from the studio audience and to Adryenn Ashley who was by my side backstage for extra moral support.
Over the past couple of days, I’ve reflected on a few important lessons that this experience underscores for me. These lessons include the power of:
- Visioning and writing things down
- Showing up
- Taking care of myself.
Lesson 1: Visioning and writing things down. Being on The View From The Bay was one of my goals for this year. I wrote about it in a letter to myself from the future. Also, in the marketing section my Right-Brain Business Plan, I included “be on The View From The Bay this year using creativity to get clear on vision.” You bet I was excited that I got to show an Unfolding Your Life Vision collage book as one of the tips on getting more balanced!
Right before the Sacramento & Co. show and VFTB, I even wrote on my wish cards to get clear about how I wanted to show up. My visions for each appearance included descriptions like being calm, comfortable, poised, engaging, informative, personable, positive, clear, present, relaxed, and inspiring. I brought my cards with me and also printed out of all the lovely comments and e-mails people shared from the Sacramento show to help ground me. It was really cool to get feedback afterward that was very much in alignment with my intention.
Lesson 2: Showing up. A few people have asked me how did I get on the show. It started simply by showing up! Adryenn sometimes gets tickets to the studio audience, so when she offered tickets at the end of September, I said, “Yes!” I was a geek and read up on the show and the hosts before I went. I didn’t know this, but on commercial breaks they ask the audience trivia questions. I actually won a prize because I got one of the questions right from reading the bios and I got to wave into the camera! After the show, I had Adryenn introduce me to Janelle and I gave her one of my Unfolding Your Life Vision Kits. Adryenn highly encouraged me to come back the next day and I did. To my surprise, Janelle remembered me! She said she had a story idea and to come see her after the show! I worked with Adryenn to develop a formal pitch, sent it in and then was asked to be on for the end of October. It all happened in about a week!
Lesson 3: Taking care of myself. I really had to pay attention to this since I was pushing myself out of my comfort zone. The day before the show, I was starting to get anxious so I made sure to go to yoga. After class I felt so much more grounded, focused and ready to prep for the next day. The day of the show, while I was in the green room, there was a moment where this introvert/HSP got too overwhelmed by all the talking that I had to go find a quiet spot to just sit and breathe. It definitely helped me center right before going on.
Lots of great learnings here from a truly wonderful experience! I loved being on the show and getting to share tips and ideas about something I’m passionate about. I hope to be on again and to also venture into other shows, too… like Martha and Oprah, of course! I’m including that in my next future letter to myself and on my new Right-Brain Business Plan!
The inspiring book “The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life” by Joyce Schwarz launched today. The book features nearly 100 artists’ vision boards from around the world and outlines a process for envisioning and living the life you truly want. I’m one of the featured artists with full color images of my wo-manifesto, Right-Brain Business Plan and a workshop participant’s Unfolding Your Life Vision collage book gracing the pages.
Joyce somehow found me online earlier this year and asked me if I wanted to be featured in the book. Of course I said, “YES!” In fact, about two years ago I wrote in my Ladies Who Launch expanded vision that I created my own book on visioning that included images, collages and paintings made by me and my clients. I’m currently plugging away at my book so it’s super cool to have the opportunity to be part of this project along side some of the teachers from “The Secret!”
I hope you check it out!!!

It’s been another full week and challenging for me to keep up with all the great things going on. I did make a point on Wednesday to take advantage of the gorgeous spring-like weather by practicing yoga in my backyard. With the sun shining overhead, birds chirping in the trees and the cool breeze on my skin, I was in yogi heaven! I’m amazed at how the fresh air brought me so in touch with my breath and my body – wonderful!
With another Ladies Who Launch Incubator that started last night, I’m reminded to get creative about doing more nice things for myself. After all, pampering is part of the lady launching way! So, I can’t wait for more sunny days like this to do backyard yoga ‘cuz that sure counts as a nice thing.
Today I was at It’s Yoga for another dream box workshop with a new circle of teacher trainers. It’s hard for me to believe that it was almost a year ago that I completed my yoga teacher certification. So many wonderful things have manifested since then. One being getting to lead this workshop at the studio!!!
I had fun laughing and hanging out with the group. They were a playful and engaging bunch! And I loved hearing about their dreams and seeing the unique ways they all decorated their dream boxes.
One of the students crafted her own “guru-in-a-box” with a pop-up Sri Swami Satchidananda to offer inspiration and wisdom! How cool is that?!
