The Circle with Ali and Caryn

Manifesting Your Ideal Summer

Summer! So many memories and emotions come up around this season. Nostalgia for childhood, stress of changing schedules, it can run the spectrum. And we contemplate this summer ahead at such a special moment in time when the full moon and summer solstice are a day apart!
 
Join Ali and Caryn as we talk about our experiences of summer past and present and reflect on the importance of being intentional with how we want to feel both throughout the summer and at its end. We brainstorm together about how to reverse engineer summer by beginning with (and scheduling!) the end in mind to ensure it's filled with joy, adventure, and meaningful activities. Reflecting on our own memories and experiences, we realize the importance of creating personal and family traditions that foster connection and fulfillment.
 
Whether it's creating a summer bucket list, embracing moments of stillness, or setting personal goals, we come up with some ideas around how to make the most of the summer season. We encourage our listeners to take a moment, especially during this auspicious time, to journal about summer intentions and see what comes up!

A Journey to Self-Discovery and Mindful Living

In this solo episode of The Circle with Ali and Caryn, Caryn unravels her personal journey with meditation, sharing how it has helped tune her into her inner wisdom and achieving a state of calm. She breaks down the intimidating image of meditation and shows it as a simple, accessible practice that can fit into our busy modern lives.
As she talks about her introduction to meditation and how it became a part of her daily routine, Caryn shares insights into making meditation a seamless part of one's life, focusing less on getting it "right" and more on the experience. She shares how habit stacking, the coupling of new habits with established ones, helped ingrain meditation as part of her morning routine.
This episode isn't about becoming a meditation expert, it's about starting your journey into mindful living and nurturing a habit that serves as a personal gift each day.

Intentional Transitions with Maya Kraft

You will love this conversation with Maya Kraft, leadership team group facilitator, team builder and Certified Dare to Lead Facilitator. We had such fun connecting around all things mid-life transition including women's health, building community, and re-envisioning while being intentional about this next phase of our lives. We couldn't help but fan-girl over Maya's experience training with Dr. Brené Brown and how the gift of that work influences both her professional and personal life. This was such a vibrant conversation, we can't wait for you to listen, rate and follow us for more exciting content!
More about Maya:
Maya Kraft was the former President, Operations and CPO at Validant, a Global Regulatory, Compliance & Quality Consulting Firm and holds a Masters Degree in Industrial & Organizational Psychology. She brings her executive and educational background to leadership teams seeking a pragmatic and wholehearted approach to their professional and business success. 
She has first hand experience with navigating organizational development, developing high performing teams and facilitating leadership team dynamics.  This includes navigating teams in turmoil,  change management, employee development and engagement. She knows the first hand pressures and stresses experienced by managers and leaders; of feeling out of depth handling difficult conversations, of creating trust and belonging with  team members, and navigating change in uncertain times. 
Through a combination of first hand experience and (gratefully!) help from coaches, executive advisory forums and mentors along the way, Maya began to understand the importance of self awareness in effective leadership. Dr. Brené Brown's work Dare to Lead™ , and other effective assessment tools including DiSC, CliftonStrengths and Patrick Lencioni's The 6 Types of Working Genius have expanded Maya's depth in appreciating how we can develop the self awareness and skills needed for brave and courageous leadership.  Who we are is how we lead and knowing more about ourselves can positively change the way we live, love and serve.  Maya became a Certified  Dare to Lead™ Facilitator in 2019 and has been greatly enjoying sharing these leadership development skills and tools with teams and leaders across the country.

Transforming Pain Into Purpose with Tiffany Jacobs

In this episode we welcome Tiffany Jacobs, a seasoned personal trainer who managed to channel her journey through divorce into her purpose with her lifelong passion for fitness.
Learn how she used strength training as an ‘emotional detox’ during her tough times, and how changing your lifestyle can disrupt stagnancy in your life. Tiffany's story extends beyond fitness, offering a new perspective on the power of physical activity in igniting positive changes in your life.
Tiffany's approach focuses on reverse-engineering goals, quick and effective workouts, and drive towards consistency. Lay aside the ‘it's too late’ mentality, and embrace the power of starting now. The episode underscores the importance of taking small steps and not overwhelming yourself with a massive life overhaul all at once.
We also explore the interconnection between physical strength and mental resilience.  Finally, we share our excitement for her collaboration with the Wise Woman Circle membership program to help support our community in getting mentally, emotionally and physically stronger.
About Tiffany:
Tiffany is a coach with a passion for empowering women to become stronger both mentally and physically. I founded Tiffany Jacobs Wellness during a difficult period in my life, so that I could inspire other women with my story, knowledge, and healing journey. My coaching and programs are designed to help you reclaim your power and build a life that you will love waking up to. By incorporating movement, healthy nutrition, and positive mindset rituals, you can achieve anything you set your mind to! I look forward to going on the journey with you!
