Here For More Podcast: Personal Development & Mindset Growth for Eco Entrepreneurs

It’s Valentine’s Day and Jess & I are answering your questions all about love, relationships, and marriage! We spent these 45 minutes giving honest, unrehearsed answers and sharing our thoughts on love at first sight, handling conflict, boundaries, bank accounts, secrets to a happy marriage, and more! This was so much fun to record. I hope you enjoy listening and I hope you walk away with some fresh insight on love and life. No matter how you’re spending this holiday, we’re virtually sending you so much love and wishing you a very Happy Valentine’s Day!

Learning to live more sustainably can sometimes feel overwhelming, expensive, and never-ending… we get it! We’ve been there too. And that’s exactly why we created this episode.

To make it as simple as possible, we broke down today’s episode into 10 categories. In each, you’ll find all sorts of easy swaps and recommendations for living a more eco-conscious (and health-conscious!) lifestyle.

Remember, this is meant to inspire and empower you, not cause overwhelm! Take what serves you, and leave what doesn’t. And if you make a sustainable change, let me know on Instagram ~ https://instagram.com/nataliejkraus. I would absolutely love to hear from you.

Life moves fast, and so do we! As the seasons change, do we acknowledge that we are changing as well? Do we slow down long enough to take note of what is happening, both externally & internally? Can we learn to trust our own intuition and knowing more than the noise around us?

In this special episode I share a bit of my story ~ a 6-part series I published originally to Instagram, delivered in a whole new way. It’s a story of growth, learning and unlearning, intense mindset work and scaling back, and the beauty in pauses and pivots.

I share this journey in hopes of it resonating with you. So as I give you an inside look at my life and experiences, notice where you see yourself. Take what serves you, and leave the rest. This journey of growth is one that’s been immensely challenging, but oh so rewarding. I’m so grateful to be able to share with you today the beginning of something new.

An intentional healthy lifestyle takes effort and planning, especially when travel and unfamiliar destinations are involved. Jess & I have done our fair share of travel while following a healthy, vegan lifestyle. We wanted to take this opportunity to share with you our experience, some advice, and to confirm that it is absolutely possible to maintain this lifestyle from the road (#vanlife)!

We walk you through what a typical day of eating looks like for two herbivores on the road. To be honest, our eating on the road didn’t change THAT much from our eating at home.. which is a great thing! For the most part, we were able to whip up healthy meals and snacks for all parts of the day. However, we’d be lying if we said that there weren’t a few speed bumps (*pun intended 😅) We were sure to include what happens when cooking is not an option (for example… when we lost power), as well as how we approach eating out.

This episode is jam-packed with healthy tips, recipe ideas, and even a special offer for one of our favorite on-the-go protein bars, GoMacro. Be sure to use code “NATALIEJKRAUS” to get 25% off your total purchase at https://www.gomacro.com/

Life is full of decisions. You make them every single day! But often the bigger the decision, the harder it can be to make. So how do you do it? How do you know which choice is the “right” one?

Jess & I have had our fair share of making big decisions. From deciding to buy and build our van, to starting our own businesses, there have been new fears to face with each and every choice. Logic, perfectionism, doubts, and unprecedented challenges held us back, but we learned to trust our intuition. With each decision, we learned to lean in a little deeper. And now, we’ve learned how much saying YES to a big decision can really impact your life.

This episode is extra special for two reasons. 1, I got to share on a practice that has been absolutely transformative in my life. This daily exercise, complete with card pulls, gratitude, mantras, affirmations & more, is so incredibly special to me. It helped me find light and positivity in a time when it was hard to find. And it continues to be a powerful daily ritual to start my days aligned and energized. This practice is perfect for getting all the thoughts swirling around in your head out on paper - you know, the ones that make you stressed and anxious? It allows you to create space in your mind, body, & heart for the chaos to exit, and for affirmations & positivity to seep in. I hope you find this practice as powerful and as meaningful as I do!

2, I recorded this episode LIVE in The Here For More Facebook group as a bonus training!

Your confidence is ROBBED when your mindset & focus are in the wrong place. Confidence is like a muscle. You have to work it to grow it, to maintain it, to strengthen it, and to protect it. 

You cannot expect to become confident without allowing yourself to make your own decisions, without taking scary leaps, without tuning out other voices that trigger you and plummet your self-worth. 

By shifting away from what is not serving you, you gain back power and control of your emotions, your life, and your confidence! 

Practice trusting your inner wisdom & allow yourself to make decisions based on your intuition, knowledge & opinions. The more you practice looking within for answers, the louder your inner voice (& your confidence) will grow!

Perfectionism is a never-ending chase. There’s something you want to pursue, but you find that you’re unqualified or not ready for one reason or another. As a result, you take no action, or you take steps that seem logical but aren’t actually that thing (i.e. buying a podcast mic and planning your show but never actually publishing an episode). This puts you right back at square one - still wanting to pursue that thing.. and STILL unqualified. So, how does one all of a sudden feel qualified and ready to take on a goal? Well, you don’t really! But you take action anyway. And you gain clarity and make progress from that action. Small, consistent action over time adds up to big results.

Along with taking action, enjoying the process is just as important. You never know what the future holds. You have no idea what your goal will look like once you reach it or if you’ll actually be as satisfied with the result as you’re telling yourself you will be. By enjoying the journey, you take less pressure off the end result. You find a lightness and more contentment with where you’re at right now, rather than constantly feeling like you’re not doing or being enough. You’re able to celebrate along the way and ultimately find more joy.

Social media adds an interesting dynamic to today’s perfectionism - it makes it THAT much harder to feel worthy since we now have access to seemingly perfect everything. We must remember that social media is a highlight reel. With that, we can continue to use it as a tool to connect with and empower each other. Post your favorite photos and show up as YOU. Know that you are enough and you are oh so worthy just as you are in this very moment.

In this episode, I mention books Break the Good Girl Myth by Majo Molfino, and Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert.

So your interest has been sparked. There’s something on your heart that you’re dreaming of pursuing. Maybe you're ready for a big change. Whatever it is, it’s taken you A LOT of courage to get to this point. And you know you’re going to need more moving forward! You want to keep the momentum going. To stay motivated and driven. But then, the inevitable happens. You get an unwanted opinion, and your heart sinks.

Wanting to share your big dreams with those you’re closest to is totally natural. When you share and get supportive feedback, it's a wonderful feeling. Unfortunately, sometimes the opposite happens. They may say things like… “Why would you want to pursue something new? Is what you’re currently doing not good enough? You didn’t go to school for that! This idea doesn’t even make sense to me. Is that realistic?” … Yeah, it can be pretty defeating. We’ve been there! And we want to share with you how we made it out the other side.

Buckle up for another Jess & Nat episode where we share on our personal experiences dealing with complicated conversations around big life choices. Since pursuing life out of the "norm", these talks became a pretty regular thing for us. As a result, we’ve gained quite a bit of insight on how to approach them without letting the words bring you down. We have a few major tips for you to stay positive and focused on your dream. After all, it’s YOUR dream! Listen to this, and then go get it 🌟

Lana has a beautiful gift. Her gift is more than listening to others and helping them through their problems. She has an innate ability to really feel another individual at the deepest level in a way that allows her to connect, reveal things that they cannot see themselves, and ultimately help them heal. In this special episode, we get to see a bit of this wonderful gift come to life.

Aside from her roles as mother, wife, process manager in corporate America, and an incredible supporter & friend, Lana also has her very own business as a Mindset and Business Coach. Her ability to create a space for vulnerability and healing, while also supporting her client’s in their own entrepreneurial journeys is truly something special.

This interview is filled with inspirational advice, empowering reminders, some real talk around the hardships of the world in 2020, as well as a few laughs. I feel so grateful to have had this beautiful conversation and it fills my heart to get to share it with all of you.
