  • S3E7 - Coaching: Merging Art & Mindset with Allison McIntosh

    S3E7 - Coaching: Merging Art & Mindset with Allison McIntosh
    Aug 27 2025

    I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Allison McIntosh, and this conversation inspired me on so many levels.


    Allison shares her amazing journey from graphic design into the world of mindset and embodiment coaching, and let me tell you - it’s not your typical career transition story.


    She talks about what it’s like to merge creativity, somatic work, and business, and how she helps entrepreneurs and creatives see themselves - and express themselves - more authentically.


    I especially loved Allison’s insights about being a visual, tactile learner (her story about connecting with information through whiteboards and drawing is SO relatable!).


    We also chat about the joys and challenges of building a business as a mom, creating structure, and embracing all the beautiful chaos that comes with it.


    If you’ve ever wondered how to connect your passions, your strengths, and the realities of life into a business (and a life!) that actually lights you up - this one’s for you.


    So grab a snack, hit play, and join me for a heart-to-heart with Allison. I'm excited for you to listen!

  • S3E6 - Finding Yourself Again: A Guide for Women Seeking Fulfillment and Joy with Illa Lynn

    S3E6 - Finding Yourself Again: A Guide for Women Seeking Fulfillment and Joy with Illa Lynn
    Aug 20 2025

    This week on Creating Connections, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the amazing Illa Lynn - psychology enthusiast, women’s empowerment coach, and self-proclaimed chain breaker - to talk all about authenticity, breaking through generational “shoulds,” and finding ourselves beyond the exhaustion of everyday expectations.

    Illa gets real about her own journey - how years of people-pleasing and perpetual busyness led to burnout and a literal wake-up call from the universe.

    She opens up about how she learned the importance of self-care (without feeling guilty!), rediscovering joy, and setting new standards for her life…and for her kids.

    We swapped stories about the pressures women face, the guilt we carry, and how so many of us wake up one day thinking, “I don’t even know who I am anymore.” If you’ve ever felt that way, you’ll find so much hope and practical wisdom here.

    But it’s not just about the heavy stuff. We also talk about small, actionable ways to start reconnecting with yourself - whether it’s five minutes to journal before your kids wake up or finding those little “micro-pleasures” that make you smile.

    Illa shares her step-by-step blueprint from her book, Uncover Authentic You, and she makes self-love feel absolutely doable!

    So if you’re a woman - and especially if you’re a mom - who needs permission to slow down without guilt, crave more authenticity, or just want to feel seen, heard, and cheered on, this episode is for you.

    Grab your favorite drink and let’s remind ourselves together: we deserve to thrive, not just survive.

    Excited for you to tune in!
