00:00:45.870 --> 00:00:51.410
Hi there! Welcome to Making Maps. Yeah, you heard it right.
00:00:51.890 --> 00:00:55.760
I changed the name of the podcast and of my newsletter, too.
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:03.330
Because, you know, at some point in August, I felt like Inner Impact wasn't the right name anymore.
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:12.160
I realized it sounded a bit too vague and it didn't fit well within my business ecosystem anymore.
00:01:12.740 --> 00:01:18.390
I mean, I still guide my clients through inner work to create a positive impact
00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:22.300
for themselves, for their businesses, and for the collective good.
00:01:22.870 --> 00:01:27.950
But in the past few months, I have started using different terms to talk about this.
00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:33.040
You know, words and metaphors that came to me through the own voice of my clients
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.640
and newsletter readers or podcast listeners like you.
00:01:37.340 --> 00:01:44.160
So hearing all of you say that I'm helping you trust your inner guidance to
00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:49.940
make aligned decisions for your work helped me craft my personal compass concept.
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:56.400
In my ecosystem, your personal compass is your living decision-making framework
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.320
for aligning actions with your inner truth. You know, your values,
00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:05.320
your principles, your inner wisdom, what guides you in life.
00:02:05.780 --> 00:02:12.360
And I'm aware that it is nothing new or disruptive, but it's a good way to illustrate
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:18.400
and explain my approach and to offer you and my clients an actionable metaphor to work with.
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.870
So a few months later, I realized that somehow unconsciously,
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:29.910
all the names and ideas I was using for my offerings seemed to revolve around
00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:34.300
a journey and exploration metaphor, just like the Compass.
00:02:34.730 --> 00:02:39.380
You know, think about the exploration trip, my longer coaching engagement,
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.580
or the joyful impact summer camp, for example.
00:02:43.270 --> 00:02:48.800
You know, then I sat down to map my business ecosystem, putting together my
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:53.770
offerings and channels, which is a practice that I learned from Amelia Hruby
00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:55.610
of the Off the Grid Podcast.
00:02:56.240 --> 00:03:01.290
And looking at it, I realized that in a sea of explorations,
00:03:01.290 --> 00:03:07.240
journeys, camps and groves, inner impact didn't make much sense anymore as the
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.560
name of my podcast and newsletter.
00:03:10.190 --> 00:03:17.730
So, I played with a few new ideas until I settled on making maps.
00:03:18.160 --> 00:03:22.650
You know, as soon as I jotted it down, it just felt right.
00:03:23.330 --> 00:03:28.860
Because what we are doing while building our businesses and our creative work
00:03:29.290 --> 00:03:32.580
is all about charting our own paths,
00:03:33.100 --> 00:03:40.460
pointing in the direction we dream of, our vision, and creating the trail to get there.
00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:47.980
It can be bumpy, it can be messy, it can be rough at times, but it is our trail.
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:52.980
We want it to look like us, to feel like us.
00:03:53.590 --> 00:03:57.020
We don't want to follow someone else's map.
00:03:57.440 --> 00:04:02.920
We might use it as inspiration, then stray from it to go down our own trail.
00:04:03.530 --> 00:04:09.650
That's why we are making maps. We are map makers. We are cartographers of our
00:04:09.650 --> 00:04:13.440
own messy yet aligned business adventure.
00:04:14.050 --> 00:04:20.390
Each step is an experiment and a way to practice trusting our inner guidance.
00:04:20.950 --> 00:04:26.180
And our personal compass is the tool that helps us create and walk our path.
00:04:26.779 --> 00:04:32.420
And I can be your guide in using your personal compass when you need some support
00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:37.670
in creating work that feels aligned, that feels alive, that feels spacious.
00:04:38.250 --> 00:04:44.540
So here on Making Maps, we explore what it means to build fulfilling work that
00:04:44.540 --> 00:04:46.950
nurtures you and energizes you.
00:04:47.330 --> 00:04:52.540
We talk about creativity, capacity, decision-making, and meaningful work,
00:04:52.940 --> 00:04:57.560
sharing insights from my coaching practice and my own experience as a business owner.
00:04:58.220 --> 00:05:03.070
Each episode is a space to tune in and hear what's coming up for you,
00:05:03.410 --> 00:05:07.020
to sort out what's empowering from what's burdening you,
00:05:07.420 --> 00:05:11.770
and to decide which direction you want to take your business and creative work
00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:17.270
so they keep inspiring and supporting you rather than feeling exhausting or
00:05:17.270 --> 00:05:19.210
feeling dull or feeling off.
00:05:20.200 --> 00:05:26.430
Well, I'm not sure if you noticed, but I'm really excited about this renewed clarity and direction.
00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:31.080
You know, I hope you are too and that you will stick around.
00:05:31.790 --> 00:05:37.550
Also, speaking of exciting new things, I am bringing back my free monthly gatherings
00:05:37.550 --> 00:05:40.300
with a new structure and a new name.
00:05:40.730 --> 00:05:47.130
So allow me to introduce the Compass Circles, of course, a space for you to
00:05:47.130 --> 00:05:52.149
reflect, to connect, to share, and to set intentions to step forward in the
00:05:52.149 --> 00:05:54.960
next cycle of your business and creative work.
00:05:55.410 --> 00:06:01.920
I will be hosting them on Fridays around the new moon, and we'll also use Oracle
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:06.170
cards to weave some magical inspiration into our gatherings.
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:13.210
And the first circle is this Friday at 11 a.m central time and you will find
00:06:13.210 --> 00:06:16.360
the link to check all the details and sign up in the show notes.
00:06:16.820 --> 00:06:23.320
I hope to see you there but before we meet there and before we wrap up let me
00:06:23.320 --> 00:06:29.520
offer you a reflection prompt to tune in sort out what comes up for you and maybe step forward.
00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:34.760
So take a moment to picture the map you're crafting for your work.
00:06:35.460 --> 00:06:41.530
What do you notice? What pops up? What's hiding in plain sight?
00:06:42.140 --> 00:06:45.350
And where do you feel curious to explore?
00:06:46.380 --> 00:06:50.620
Okay, that's it for today. Thank you for spending some time with me.
00:06:51.640 --> 00:06:58.240
I will see you at the Compass Circle, I hope, and for sure, I will see you in the next episode.
00:00:45.870 --> 00:00:51.410
