TLS #123: How I'm "Really" Doing, Exercise, Making Major Decisions, Self-Love, & More

Today on TLS I’m doing another one of my favorite types of shows to do: I’m answering questions shared with me on Instagram last week!

This episode is covering a lot of ground including things like podcasting, business, when I knew I was ready for dating again, how I’m “really” doing, my favorite Austin places, how I earn money, and more.

This episode is perfect for anyone looking for a fun, casual Q+A on a variety of life, business, and relationship topics.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL FIND OUT ABOUT

How did you reach out to guest to be on your show when you were just getting started? How do you book your guest
I’m considering starting a podcast, would you recommend naming your podcast the same as your blog if the content will be a little broader? What’s better – consistency or a different but really catchy title?
Would love to learn about podcasting. Like how did you get started? What equipment would you recommend for beginners?
How do you exercise in MI winter regularly?
Have you started your capsule wardrobe and if so, how is it going?
I’ve always had a really strong intuition & I know you do as well….how do you explain yourself when you make a choice in business based on the intuition?
I just made a leap of faith choice lately & all I can really tell my husband/family is “I just know this is right” or “just trust me” or “I can’t explain it, but everything in me is telling me to do this…”
What would you say to someone who is just starting out on this journey? (entrepreneurship)
Are you keeping the Lively name since you’ve built your brand on your name?
What top 3 tactics do you use when at a crossroads on a major life decision?
I have a pretty small budget so do you have any suggestions for how to upgrade your life without spending big bucks? Thanks!
I’ve only been listening for a few months and love the topics and guests but you always sound so darn happy. I find that hard to believe and I’m sure you just want to show your most optimistic self but would love a dose of reality. Not tears or anything just wouldn’t mind hearing about the hard parts because then we would understand and relate to the journey more. Really get into why you were lacking pleasure in your life.
Two questions: 1. How did you build up your audience (both on your blog and podcast) to where it is today? How did you initially get people to know about you? And 2. Since you mentioned it, I’d love to know your favorite murder mysteries!
I know you lived in Austin and love it there; any favorite hangouts or restaurants or places to see? Also, having made several moves in your life, do you have any tips for making a big move?
I would love to know more about how you transitioned from your jewelry business to your Life With Intention work? I love my work as a professional organizer, but want to transition from cleaning people’s messes to helping my clients make meaningful life transformation (and yes, I believe organization can do that!).
You seem very confident about who you are and what you believe. Have you always felt self-assured or is there a story there?
Can you share with us some tips on design, interior architecture and decorating, especially for college students? I loved your posts about the house renovation, and would love to see more. Also, what did you have to eat today?
I was wondering how you cope with a really bad day? Any instant pick-me-ups? Love from Europe!
How did you know you were ready to date again after splitting with Mr. Lively?
I find your voice soothing and upbeat. Did you work with a speech or voice coach or is it natural?
How do you earn money through the podcast to support yourself? And how did you get started with the podcast and course?
My question is ” What do you believe is the first step towards self-love?” And “what advice would have given to your younger self 10 years ago?” Thank you for you inspiring and beautiful podcasts.
Wondering how are you really, truly feeling about your uncoupling now – a few months after it’s been official. You seem surprisingly happy and upbeat (considering the circumstances) on the show, wondering if this is a cover or how you’re really doing?
