Power of Wait and See
06/09/2023 Duration: 20minSometimes doing nothing is a valid, productive choice. Holding steady gives us space to seek more information, build up our energy reserve, and let a more ease-filled path reveal itself. Consider a place where you feel stuck. What's the harm in waiting to act? What's even the opportunity? We reflect on these questions and more in this episode highlighting the power of wait and see.

Presence and Pivot
16/08/2023 Duration: 32minBeing able to redirect your path is a unique skill. Often we summon so much energy to set a direction in the first place that it can feel particularly hard to pivot. The more momentum we have behind us, the more force we need to bring with us to create a change. But that force doesn't have to come with a bang. We can spark transformation through deep attention to what's true right now - through presencing. In this episode of Design Yourself, we begin by creating a shared understanding of what it means to presence. We expand our discussion by exploring three simple ways to practice this way of being. Finally, we close things out by investigating how presencing showed up in a backpacking adventure in the wilds of the Adirondack mountains.

Sharing the Workload
02/08/2023 Duration: 29minOur working partnerships define how we move through our professional and personal lives. The movement can be heavy with mistrust, judgment, and frustration. It can also be ease-filled, characterized by aligned expectations, clear communication, and mutual accountability. Achieving goals rarely happens in isolation, and the division of labor is rarely 50-50. In this episode, we reflect together on the critical working relationships in your life and how you can bring more ease and impact to the way you work together.

Wear Who You Are
19/07/2023 Duration: 24minFashion is a creative playground. Every new day offers a chance to express yourself. How has your style evolved? What are opportunities to honor who you are and the cultures where you show up? Join us in this episode of Design Yourself to reflect on these questions together. "Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There's no how-to road map to style.

Nostalgia
31/05/2023 Duration: 32minCan we ever really go home? In a literal sense, maybe. In a figurative sense, probably not. As dynamic human beings living in an ever changing world, there is no going back to what was. We are changing. The places around us are changing. This is the gift of growth. Still it can be a joy to return to a location or experience that holds special memories. It offers a chance to reconnect and reevaluate. Join Sharon in this episode on a trip down memory lane as she shares some personal reflections on the occasion of her 20 year college reunion and invites you to reflect on and connect to your own moments of nostalgia.

Identity & The Roles We Play

She also discusses her challenges of answering the question, "Are you an artist?" Finally, she shares a set of reflection questions and invites you to consider the roles you play and how that's working.

Anxiety
