Managing Your Multi-Passionate Life

Hi Everyone!

When I met Kim Andrews 15 years ago, I just thought her intuition came as a natural gift beyond what I thought was basic intuition (because people have told me that I have great intuition that I thought everyone had). I used to joke that compared to her, I thought I needed a hearing aid to hear my special kind!

Turns out, she consciously learned how to cultivate it, and the positive outcomes that have come as a result of this are amazing. Tune in as she shares her journey, including how she finds peace and gifts in the midst of chaos—perhaps especially in the midst of chaos. Applying that intuition as we take note of the things we do that are seemingly unrelated to other tasks will enhance all the tasks. It’s all connected. And so much more....😊

About My Guest:

Kim Andrews’s professional career spans a wide range of industries, from fitness and wellness to training and development, and the investigation of federal employment discrimination complaints. In February 2018, she began serving as Spiritual Leader of Unity Sachse in Sachse, Texas.

That same year she also realized that for three decades, she had been unwittingly crafting a modality of skills that transformed her life once governed by chaos and feelings of unworthiness, to one of peace and self-mastery. Her ministry then expanded to shepherding others to the inner sanctuary through her healing modality and creating the movement called 8,945 for Peace.

Hi again!

As promised, here is the SRT session, which stands for Subconscious Release Technique that María discussed in the previous episode (episode 23). She performed a session on me to help me release my blocks around being a bit of a control freak at times, especially when unknown things are popping up. So if you don't know what I'm talking about, and you're just coming in and catching up (usually the last one published is the first one you see), back up to Episode 23, and have a listen. Start around 30 minutes in if you're pressed for time because that's when we get to talking about what this process is all about. For this audio, I would suggest that you find a quiet place to just take it all in. Feel free to substitute word challenges that apply to you if your inner control freak is already tamed!

Hi there!

I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my kindred spirits right in my backyard, María del Pilar Melgarejo. Along with being a fellow multi-passionate who loves the arts and teaches at the same university as I do (in a different department), she navigates her many interests in a way that serves her and humanity. She's also very spiritual and no stranger to depression, like me. But unlike me, she came through the depression in a way that only she can explain, and I found it utterly fascinating!

We also discussed how we could release the negative emotional charge tied to certain thoughts we have through a process called Subconscious Release Technique (SRT). She explained the process in fascinating detail and then took me through the process as a demonstration. That particular session will be in the next episode (our conversation was pretty long, to begin with!), which is being edited but should be published a couple of days after this one.

About my guest:

María del Pilar Melgarejo believes describing herself is difficult because she believes we are all multidimensional beings. She is from Colombia, studied Social Communication in Bogotá Colombia with a Master in Philosophy. In Colombia, she worked as a journalist, then in Human Rights. In 2001 she went to the University of Pittsburgh and graduated with a Ph.D. in Literature and Latin American Studies. She published a book on XIX century politics and literature in Colombia and Mexico and several articles about different topics related to Latin American history and literature. She is a professor at SMU in Dallas, teaches Spanish and Latin American literature and culture. She loves Academia, but even within Academia, she loves exploring different topics. She recently published an article called "A poetic of beauty: nature, memory, and resilience in the documentary The Pearl Button" because she is fascinated with cinema, documentary, and esthetics. Meditation has been part of her life for more than 15 years and has played a huge role in her spiritual path. She got certified as a Life Coach in a technique called SRT, Subconscious Release Technique, and she is having sessions with clients regularly. She published a Children´s book, "The Sonflower that was Stuck," and created with her sister a company called IllumineWay that offers Workshops to kids about Mindfulness, Yoga, and Meditation.

Sometimes, it's a great idea--even when you're happy in your career--to take a self-reflective look at how you got there or where you can go. In this episode, I share how you can pick up those clues retroactively to see how you can live your best life today in your career whether you are already happy or are thinking of a career transition that helps you be more of the best part of who you are. 😁

At the end of the episode, I talk about a document you can use for self-examination that you can access here! No opt-in necessary!

It’s possible to have a successful portfolio career if your personality is amenable to it (making money using all of your passions). However, some multi-passionate people want to keep the fun for hobbies and the good enough job to pay the bills separate from one another, which totally is cool too. Which one are you?

Hi Everyone!

I had a fabulous conversation with Julie Boyer, who gave us some potent reminders of how intentional gratitude can really transform your life for the better. The positive manifestations may seem like coincidences, but I don't believe that they are. I can also attest to this personally. Every challenge Julie shared turned into a gift, even if it wasn't readily apparent immediately. So please tune in and find out how she navigates everything she has going on in her life with a sense of calm confidence!

About Julie Boyer:

She is the host of the Wake Up With Gratitude™ podcast, an Intuitive Biz + Health Coach, and a three-time Amazon Best-Selling Author. Julie has practiced gratitude for more than a decade and founded Wake Up With Gratitude™ in 2017: It’s Your source for gratitude inspiration, photos, prints, thank-you cards, workshops, and more. This business was born after surviving a week-long coma due to a bacterial infection after her (second) miscarriage. That life-threatening experience taught her that every single day is a gift. Julie currently lives on Vancouver Island, where she balances several home-based businesses while homeschooling her 10-year-old daughter. Her mission is to inspire you to ‘Wake Up With Gratitude™’ … every day!

Hi there!

I had the immense pleasure of having a wonderful conversation with Denise Joy Hart, who is a designer, artist, playwright, professor, and...so much more! 😁 We discussed her journey, starting with her humble beginnings and how she ultimately lives her best life creatively and on purpose. How she manages her energy is so aligned with my life philosophy that we joked that we must be sisters from another mister! 🤣

I particularly enjoyed hearing about her Furaha Method of Joyful Design!

Even though we are both in higher education (along with our multiple passions!), we both emphatically agree that your divine appointment in life doesn't necessarily have to have a bachelor's degree and beyond tied to it. 😉

So listen in and become inspired. You'll be glad you did!

More about my guest:

Denise Joy Hart is a multi-passionate designer, veteran speaker, entrepreneur, and educator. In her former role as a sales coordinator for Motivating the Masses with Lisa Nichols, via remote/virtual learning, Denise taught and trained hundreds of entrepreneurs to improve their sales and to speak powerfully from any platform. Denise is also a sought-after designer and the host of the Thrifty Fly DIY show on Youtube.

As promised from the previous episode (click here for a frame of reference), here is just the meditation Nick Holmes did at the end of our interview. If you’re feeling a bit anxious and scattered, this will get you calm and focused in the next 11 or so minutes. Make sure you’re not driving and are in a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted. Enjoy your day!
