This week’s guest: Liv Lane, blogger, artist and creative consultant

Website: Liv Lane.com
Blog: Choosing Beauty
E-Course: How to Build a Blog You Love

Liv Lane uses her creative superpowers to illuminate the good in every day while helping women ignite their passions and purpose. Liv believes we were all born to shine; with a unique combination of business expertise and uncanny intuition, she lovingly mentors women who long to light up their lives.

Emerging from a three-year struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder and severe postpartum depression, Liv started her Choosing Beauty blog in 2006. Orginally created as a personal healing project, it quickly gained a global following, generating enough opportunities and creative adrenaline to catapult Liv out of her comfy corporate PR gig and into the full-time, soul-stirring adventure of crafting an artful life – working as a blogger, speaker, mixed media artist, broadcaster and creative consultant for crazy-cool clients ranging from blossoming bloggers to behemoth brands. Liv also has extensive expertise in radio; she spent nearly 10 years on-air {both locally and nationally} and created a successful radio promotions company in 2003 that continues to serve hundreds of radio stations and major U.S. consumer brands. In early 2011, she launched the How To Build a Blog You Truly Love e-course. Liv lives in Minnesota with her husband Brad, their two young boys, one crazy dog and an army of invisible angels.

Show Notes…

• I talk about co-working with my friend Tanya Geisler.

• Liv mentioned a class she teaches called How to Build a Blog You Love.

Hey, everyone. Shannon’s feeling just awful this week, so we’ve decided to take a sick day.

This podcast is 23:30.

This week’s guest: Pixie Campbell, artist, mama and crafter on a medicine path.

Blog: Pixie Campbell Blog
E-course: SouLodge
Shop: Pixie Campbell’s Etsy Shop

Pixie Campbell is an artist, mama, and crafter on a medicine path.

“I created SouLodge to integrate Woman’s innate creativity with her spiritual process, so that they can blur together, as well as dance as their own entities. The soulwork of the women who gather there comes about by allowing creativity and intuitive *knowing* to flow freely in and out of us, and it serves as a rite of passage lacking in modern culture. Reverence for our lives, the Earth, and sacred creative process is the foundational design. We show up, torches in hand, to clear the way for us to live as visionaries.”

Show Notes…

• In this show, I share the passing of musician Mali Woods. Mali was a guest on the podcast and a light in this world. I will miss her.
• Pixie is hosting The Mother of All Releasing Ceremonies. She has a post on how to create a your own releasing bundle.
