Rural Raised Leaders Episode #12: 4 ways to MAKE MONEY that you may not have thought about!

Rural Raised Leaders Episode #14: It's the most wonderful...and stressful time of the year! 6 ways to head into the holidays with more joy, presence and PEACE!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…or is it?! You guys know that we don’t take life too dang serious…but when it comes to THIS, we do. We are moving into November and December…which means holidays and ALL the things that come with that. SO much joy…but also so much stress. More money to be spent. More rushing around and less downtime. More sugar consumption. Less moving of bodies. Less sun exposure. More societal pressure to make everything “perfect.” And before you know it, you are burnt-out, stressed, overwhelmed, and just wishing for everything to be over. Can you relate? Well that’s what we talk about in today’s episode. We don’t buy into the narrative that motherhood has to be something you survive…but it can be something that you THRIVE in. This year we are committed, more than ever, to finding the joy and presence in the holidays. By focusing on OURSELVES a bit more, we can pour into our families and really be PRESENT. Which is the whole goal right?! We are taking the Happy + Grateful Challenge, which means choosing 1 or 2 areas to focus on over these next 5 weeks to leave us less stressed and more in tune with our bodies, our minds, and our emotions. Listen in as we break down the 6 areas of focus that can make a HUGE difference in how you show up this holiday season. * Stress management. * Moving your body. * Eating to nourish. * Getting ready in the morning. * Self reflection. * Connection with others. We invite you to join us inside of our free community…or simply choose 2 things to do after listening to this episode! Whatever you prefer…the goal is to just get started! Get ahead of the game this year…set yourself up for success…and ENJOY the most wonderful time of the year! Make sure you give us a follow on IG @ruralraisedleaders and join this MOVEMENT with us.

Rural Raised Leaders Episode #13: SPECIAL GUEST, Carla Harrison. Living the unconventional life of her dreams through fun, faith, teamwork and unexpected opportunities.

We had so much FUN interviewing Carla Harrison today, the head honcho (with her husband, John) of the clown family! We laughed so much and her pure JOY and love of life really shines through in all that she does. Carla is married to John Harrison, world-renowned PRCA rodeo clown and specialty act and together they have 4 kids (3 on earth and 1 in heaven), a rental property business, a Wild West Show, a liquor store, and other investment businesses. They truly do it ALL and they do it well! Through a rock solid marriage, an amazing rodeo community and family, and faith in God, they are able to accomplish amazing things. (And get through the really tough times). They exude unconventional living, and if you are the type of person who wants more FREEDOM in their life…then we know Carla’s story will resonate with you. Whatever you want to accomplish in life…you CAN. You have to start somewhere, and even though there were seasons of survival and long hours, Carla and John made it happen and now are able to enjoy multiple streams of income while living their dream life. I think the thing that stuck out the most was the confidence Carla has. No matter what she is doing, she is confident that it is going to work out. And if it doesn’t, she figures out a way to keep moving forward. She truly has the most optimistic outlook on life, and I think that’s the BEST way to live! If you are someone who wants to live a more unconventional life…if you’ve got some crazy ideas in your head that you really want to pursue (that maybe scare you a little bit)...tune into this episode, because you need to hear Carla’s story! It doesn’t get much more unconventional than the clown family! Go out in faith, live with no regrets, and take the opportunities as they come!

Rural Raised Leaders Episode #10: Giving up is rarely the answer. The inner ramblings of Lindsey + Shayla.

Welcome to the inner ramblings of Lindsey and Shayla… If you’ve been loving this podcast so far, then you will REALLY love this episode because this is a great portrayal of the things we both think and talk about on a regular basis! Haha! How many of you have ever wanted to give up on your dream? The answer is most likely ALL of you. But how many of you actually HAVE given up? Hopefully not many. Because there is something WIRED in you that says “you can’t give up.” You have this THING that keeps you going…even when things get tough. As I (Shayla) was listening to the Ed Mylett podcast this morning, this idea of never giving up REALLY resonated with me. PLUS, Lindsey has been reading his best selling book The Power of One More, so we knew we would have a TON to talk about today. On Ed’s podcast episode, he was interviewing David A. Arnold, who after 25 years, FINALLY really broke out into the comedy world. From his super humble beginnings, to years of growth and change, to finally being at the top of his game, it was a crazy inspirational story that I totally resonated with. (And made me laugh too)! Now, hopefully it doesn’t take you 25 years to see your own dreams come to reality…but what if it does? Do you really believe your dreams are worth all of that time, sacrifice and growth? For me, it is a YES, because I know that part of the success is WHO you are becoming on the way. The journey towards the best version of you. And as I listened to David tell his story, I could tell how worth it the journey was. Here is the full episode if you want to take a listen: We wanted to send the message today that there is nothing WRONG with you if you feel like you are constantly striving for more. If you are never truly satisfied with where you are. When I think about my own goals, I can totally see them coming to fruition, and then I’m starting on another project or another investment or goal. It’s just wired in me to continue to create things and GROW. But the beauty, and the thing that Lindsey and I really focus on is the PEACE and the JOY that we can create in our lives WHILE pursuing success. That for us, this is a major focus, and if you are like us, we know you can relate to that too. The end goal will always be there, but the time you have with your family and the memories you are creating won’t be. So taking the time to recognize all of that is really really important. We hope you love this podcast as much as we loved creating it. Sometimes the best content comes straight from the heart, without notes or planning. Never ever giving up or settling is a GOOD thing and if you feel like you have that wired in you…we are cheering you on and can’t wait to hear your story of triumph and growth! “Are you willing to sacrifice who you are for who you could be? You mission is to keep growing, expanding, and learning to lead a full and happy life. When you do these things your identity will change.” -The Power of One More PS: Because we love Ed so much, we want to offer you the chance to get his book for FREE! We will be doing a drawing on our ruralraisedleaders Instagram on Thursday, September 15th (one day after podcast is released).
