173: Allison interviews her friend Faith Mabry who she met on a trip to The Netherlands last fall. The two crossed paths at Faith’s second-hand designer store and immediately hit it off. They ended up going to dinner the next night and Allison stayed at Faith’s for a week in her spare bedroom. We’ve been getting a lot of questions about moving abroad, making friends in a new city and how to take the leap so we thought it would be perfect to have Faith come on the show as she has been living abroad for almost a decade now!Faith shares her experience growing up in California and how her love for music inspired her to travel and attend various festivals. The venues, fashion and festival goers helped broaden her perspective which made her want to travel more. When the opportunity to study abroad in Europe in 2015 was presented, she jumped at it and has been living abroad since!Faith shares her love story of meeting her husband in Amsterdam, living in Australia and The Netherlands. While living abroad is a beautiful life-changing experience, we keep it real by discussing the challenges, including letting go of your old life and building a new one, not being able to come home for every family emergency and more. TAKEAWAYS:<ul><li>Moving abroad can be a challenging but rewarding experience</li><li>Language barriers can be overcome with time and effort</li><li>Integrating into a new community requires openness and willingness to learn</li><li>Hobbies and interests can shape our experiences and help us connect</li><li>Being vulnerable can lead to unexpected love stories.</li><li>Moving to a new country requires effort to integrate and learn the language</li><li>Inviting people is key to building connections in a new place</li><li>Making friends with locals can be challenging as they are settled in their lives</li><li>Establishing a home and roots in a new country takes time and investment</li><li>Maintaining relationships with people back home can be challenging</li><li>Living abroad means letting go of the old life and building a new one</li></ul> MENTIONS:Faith Mabry Personal <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hopelesslyfaithfull/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a>Faith’s Shop - Revive <a href="https://www.instagram.com/revive.haarlem/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@revive.haarlem" rel="nofollow">TikTok</a>SPONSORS + DISCOUNTS: Get <a href="https://shopify.com/alreadyfriends" rel="nofollow">Shopify Point of Sale</a> for your business! <a href="https://shopify.com/alreadyfriends" rel="nofollow">Shopify.com/ALREADYFRIENDS</a> to get your $1 a month trial!  SOCIAL LINKS:Already Friends Socials:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/alreadyfriendspodcast/" rel="nofollow"> Instagram</a>,<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alreadyfriendspodcast" rel="nofollow"> TikTok</a>Allison&#39;s Socials:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/allisonwetig/" rel="nofollow"> Instagram</a>,<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@allisonwetig?" rel="nofollow"> TikTok</a>Ceara&#39;s Socials:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/cearakirk/" rel="nofollow"> Instagram</a>,<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@cearakirk?" rel="nofollow"> TikTok</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/alreadyfriends" rel="nofollow">Already Friends Patreon:</a> $5 a Month for Bonus EpisodesLet&#39;s be friends - join the Already Friends<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/alreadyfriends" rel="nofollow"> FB Group</a>!If you enjoyed this episode, we would really really appreciate it if you left a rating and review on Apple Podcast / Spotify or share the show with a loved one.

None of my friends will move with me. Is it too risky to move alone?

I woke up this morning, saw all their stories, started crying about it and I feel like such a loser. It just hurts to feel like this and be in a literal group chat with them when they’re super mean.

She even has two courses through her SOSH School, which are designed to help with that step by step!We wrap up with candid conversations about the pros and cons of social media accessibility, self-care, keeping up with crazy schedules, grounding techniques and why it’s so important to support your small business and creative friends.  MENTIONS:Julia Broome <a href="https://www.instagram.com/juliabroome/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a>Julia Broome <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@juliabroome" rel="nofollow">TikTok</a>SOSH -<a href="https://shopsosh.com/" rel="nofollow"> The Social Media Planner</a>SOSH School - <a href="https://www.soshschool.com/" rel="nofollow">Courses</a> Our Sponsors: * Check out Prose: prose.com/alreadyfriends * Check out Shopify: shopify.com/alreadyfriends Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Prioritize the friends who consistently show up and make an effort.</li><li>Joining clubs or groups centered around shared interests, such as running clubs, can be a great way to meet like-minded people and build new friendships.</li></ul> LINKS:Ep 107, <a href="https://www.alreadyfriendspodcast.com/episodes/107socialwellness" rel="nofollow">Social Wellness 2023 Part 1 with Dr. Chelsea Shields</a>Ep 108, <a href="https://www.alreadyfriendspodcast.com/episodes/108fivefriends" rel="nofollow">Social Wellness 2023 Part 2 with Dr. Chelsea Shields</a>Lindsay Hornecker: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ljhornecker/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsay-hornecker-644713137/" rel="nofollow">LinkedIn</a> SPONSORS + DISCOUNTS: <a href="https://www.factor75.com/alreadyfriends50" rel="nofollow">Factor </a>- Real nutrition, made simple.

164: Continuing our 8 Dimensions of Wellness Series, Allison and Ceara share their perspective on Intellectual Wellness and discuss the importance of being lifelong learners, as it helps benefit all the other areas of your life. Everyone you meet, every trip you take, every job you do, friend you make, relationship you devote to and hobby you try has something to teach you. We also believe that learning is more enjoyable when you&#39;re living an aligned life because you&#39;re naturally going to want to learn more about things you care about. TAKEAWAYS:<ul><li>Intellectual wellness is essential for personal growth and can serve as a foundation for other dimensions of wellness. Take ownership of your future by identifying the skills and knowledge you want to acquire and seeking out resources to learn them.</li><li>Develop time management skills to make time for learning and avoid mindless scrolling on social media.</li><li>Nurture your passions and explore topics that genuinely interest you to make learning more enjoyable.</li><li>Access free information on the internet through books, articles, videos, and online courses.</li><li>Learn from mentors, whether through formal mentorship programs or by seeking guidance from experienced individuals in your field.</li><li>Explore local museums and libraries for opportunities to learn and expand your knowledge.</li><li>Engage in info swapping with friends, setting aside dedicated time to learn from each other&#39;s expertise and experiences.</li></ul> MENTIONS:Astrology App - <a href="https://www.thepattern.com/" rel="nofollow">The Pattern</a>Ceara&#39;s Chicago Hotel - <a href="https://www.therobey.com/" rel="nofollow">The Robey Hotel</a>Our Episode: <a href="https://www.alreadyfriendspodcast.com/shop/p/cheatcoderesourceful" rel="nofollow">How To Be Resourceful </a>Our Episode: <a href="https://www.alreadyfriendspodcast.com/episodes/139reading?rq=reading" rel="nofollow">Getting Out of A Reading Slump</a>Our Episode: <a href="https://www.alreadyfriendspodcast.com/episodes/episode134humandesign?rq=human+design" rel="nofollow">Human Design with Rebekah Joy</a> BOOK SUGGESTIONS:Anything by Malcolm GladwellPower of HabitHow To Stay In LoveCan’t Hurt Me  SPONSORS + DISCOUNTS: <a href="https://www.factor75.com/alreadyfriends50" rel="nofollow">Factor </a>- Real nutrition, made simple.

How Being A Lifelong Learner Leads To Continuous Growth In All Areas

163: Emma Marschall is a holistic wellness coach, breathwork coach, and conscious branding entrepreneur. She supports women in leading lives of radical self-expression and sovereignty. She is the host of the “Love Among Us” podcast and the creator of “Brand Alchemy”, which is her coaching container that helps women build a soul-led brand. This is part of our 8 Dimensions of Wellness series that does a deep dive into each area of wellness - emotional, financial, career, spiritual, environment, social, physical, nutrition, and intellectual. Takeaways<ul><li>Don&#39;t let fear hold you back from communicating with others.

Start by sharing simple things and gradually open up.</li><li>Put yourself out there on social media with a genuine purpose and transformation in mind. Focus on providing value and connecting with like-minded individuals.</li><li>Practice mindfulness and radical self-acceptance as the foundation of your spiritual journey.</li><li>Reconnect with your feminine energy and honor the natural cycles of your body.</li><li>Identify your soul work by exploring what you are good at and what you love.

Continuing on with our wellness series, we’ve brought on our good friend (and place maker) Sam Noddle to talk about his career in real estate and recently, entrepreneurship. We dive deep into how Sam has been able to balance frequent traveling and the pressure of large-scale projects with his own physical, mental and spiritual health. We talk about the importance of putting yourself out there, overcoming setbacks, developing a consistent morning routine and defining your personal workplace values. He shares helpful advice for advancing in your career such as finding mentors, turning small talk into real talk and the importance of asking questions. Sam began his real estate career with the Comras Company in Miami, Florida where he had the opportunity to work on the iconic CocoWalk and various other properties throughout Coconut Grove, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Wynwood, The Miami River and Downtown. He is now the Vice President of Leasing at Noddle Co. While no two days ever look the same for Sam, his main duties involve overseeing the development of Aksarben Village. He leads a large team of employees across multiple bars, restaurants, and the Inner Rail Food Hall.Occupational wellness is the dimension of wellness that emphasizes the importance of finding personal satisfaction and enrichment in one&#39;s work, contributing to a positive work-life balance, and fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment in one&#39;s professional endeavors.

Pursuing Your Career Goals While Maintaining Health and Happiness with Sam Noddle

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2024/1/12/3/b591c18d-72dd-4321-b3b3-4157d926cda3_ep_156_-_environmental_wellness_final.mp3

We are delighted to bring on Ansley Emerson for our deep dive into environmental wellness. This year, we are focusing on environmental wellness through the lens of our physical home space and our spiritual inner space. We thought this conversation was an especially important one to have in January when colder temperatures cause us to be inside more.Ansley is a space alchemist, which is the art of intentionally transforming your internal and external space in order to create your most authentic, fulfilling and free life. She has created powerful space alchemist modalities that she learned through integrating these practices in her own life such as when she manifested and took aligned action towards finding her dream home on Maui at an incredible location, in her budget, with a lot of space and from a local owner. We talk about energy clearing, clutter clearing, physically cleaning and intuitive feng shui. She shares how a home can be a mirror that reflects what is going on inside of us; as our relationship to physical spaces can show patterns present in other areas of our lives such as people pleasing tendencies or holding on to the past in a way that doesn&#39;t serve us anymore. Regardless of your living situation, Ansley encourages us to invest in home health. She emphasizes the importance of creating your unique home sanctuary as a strong foundation so you are able to thrive in other areas of your life that align with your goals and needs. You don’t need to wait until you have a &#34;forever home.”  Takeaways<ul><li>Creating a supportive home space is essential for overall well-being and can have a profound impact on all aspects of life.</li><li>Clearing clutter and releasing attachments to material objects can create more flow and abundance in life.</li><li>Intuitive feng shui focuses on what feels good and aligns with personal intentions, rather than rigid rules and guidelines.</li><li>Energy clearing can be done through physical cleaning, using tools like Palo Santo or herbs, and setting clear intentions.</li><li>Working with a space alchemy coach can help individuals transform their lives by creating intentional and aligned spaces. Finding support and creating offerings that align with individuals&#39; needs is crucial.</li><li>Authenticity and open-heartedness are key qualities of a good friend.</li></ul> Chapters(00:00) Introduction(01:13) Wellness Series Introduction(03:00) Peaks of the Week(04:04) Guest Introduction: Ansley Emerson(06:11) Ansley&#39;s Journey into Space Alchemy(10:46) Finding a Home in Maui(12:32) Creating Sanctuary in Temporary Housing(15:30) Creating a Supportive Home Space(20:11) Clearing Clutter and Letting Go(21:09) The Impact of Home on Well-being(22:58) Reflecting Internal Patterns in the Home(24:51) Exploring Feng Shui(26:38) Intuitive Feng Shui(28:46) Starting the Process of Creating a Healthy Home(31:07) Clearing Clutter and Releasing Attachments(33:01) Challenging Areas and Emotional Attachments(37:56) Working with a Space Alchemy Coach(40:16) Energy Clearing and Setting Intentions(43:56) Using Palo Santo and Other Tools for Energy Clearing(46:21) Cleaning Supplies and Ethical Sourcing(47:44) Working with Clients and Transforming Lives(48:53) Working with Ansley(49:47) Finding Support and Offerings(50:12) Qualities of a Good Friend ABOUT ANSLEY: Ansley is formally certified as an Integrative Holistic Health Coach (IIN HCTP) and Certified Clutter Coach (Linn Method for Clutter Clearing™).

We are so excited to kick off the first episode of 2024 with the second season of our wellness series. If you were with us last year, welcome back! We’re happy to have you and can’t wait to bring on more guests who can share their unique perspectives on each dimension.  If you’re new here, check out our 2023 kick off episode “<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/already-friends/id1551814612?i=1000592839683" rel="nofollow">Self-Care Series: The 8 Dimensions of Wellness</a>” that dives deep into each dimension. The dimensions wellness are (according to Dr. Peggy Swarbrick) emotional &amp; mental, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational (career), social, physical and spiritual.  Now that we’ve been aware and practicing this concept for over a year, it has allowed us to look at our own wellness journeys with this lens as a guiding light for creating balance, joy, abundance, nourishment, sustainable routines and greater opportunities. While we are far from experts, or where we want to be ourselves, we hope that by sharing our stories and ideas on the concept, it might inspire and help shape your goals for the year ahead. Either way, we’re grateful you’re here with us!TAKEAWAYS: <ul><li>Building relationships with local banks can lead to better financial opportunities and a sense of community.</li><li>Creating positive customer experiences can contribute to the success of a business.</li><li>Being generous and showing appreciation can have a positive impact on others.</li><li>It is important to appreciate and respect different life paths.</li><li>Setting goals for physical, emotional, mental, intellectual, and financial wellness can lead to personal growth and well-being.
