Ep. #51 Becca Singer is an absolute GEM. She started her career in film development and production, but always had a love for fashion. Growing up in L.A. and New York City, she was inspired by the ability to express yourself through personal style. She draws upon inspiration from her mother at an early age and how styling herself was a passion from the beginning.

The way she captures each persons personality and each event so perfectly is truly an art. And she has NO formal training - she just has a natural gift. You HAVE to check them out - before she absolutely blows up.

Finding Growth in the “In Between”: Running a Social Media Business, Managing a Team, Finding a Routine That Works For You, and Tips for Starting Social Media with Kassidy Owen

Wed, 15 May 2024 10:30:00 +0000

Ep. #50 Kassidy Owen is on the podcast today! She is the founder of Kassidy Lynn Social - a social media management company she started after leaving her PR job. Knowing she didn’t want to go back to working for someone else, Kassidy built her business by finding clarity in what she wanted for her life and knowing what she was good at - social media.

Kassidy and I met at Dear Media IRL in Austin and really hit it off. She is one of those people who you meet and can just connect with so easily. She just announced the launch of her podcast “The Inbetween Podcast” - which is all about pursuing growth and being in the “in between” stages of anything in life - grief, career, a marathon, you name it.

We chat about what it was like switching to running her own business, managing a team, tips for social media whether you’re a business or a content creator, finding clarity, pouring into your own cup to maximize your schedule and all about her new pod - which you should listen to when the first episode drops!

I hope you love Kassidy just as much as I do!

Wed, 24 Apr 2024 10:30:00 +0000

Ep. #48 In this episode, I am joined by my dear friend, K-Sky Donner. K-Sky has been on the podcast before so if you haven’t listened yet, go listen to that episode! K-Sky is a full time life coach and is just a RAY OF SUNSHINE. We are both Geminis and Manifestors in Human Design (IYKYK). So we can usually relate to each other deeply in how we are feeling and what we are experiencing. Yet we are still so different and have such different points of view.

Today, we share how we have been doing recently and what has been coming up for us as it relates to what the hell we are doing with our lives. If you are feeling a little lost or going through a bit of a rut right now, this is a great episode to come to for a cathartic release! You are not alone in how you are feeling and I hope this episode can offer you perspective on however you’re feeling right now.

We chat about:

Career
Lacking knowledge of what we want
Gaining clarity around direction, but feeling resistance
Progress we have made in our 20’s
Knowing your hearts desire
Perspective around goals and how far you’ve come
Finding new ways of measuring yourself
Allowing yourself to rest
And much more…! :)

Embarrassment is the Key to Confidence

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 10:30:00 +0000

Ep. #44 Recently, I feel as though I cracked the code to building confidence in myself - through embarrassment! It’s really a similar notion to “feel the fear and do it anyways.” By getting outside of our comfort zone and looking for ways to do things that may feel embarrassing to us in the moment, there is usually confidence on the other side of it. How can we expect to grow when we are staying where we are comfortable? This week, I challenge you to write down what embarrasses you and why AND to do at least one thing that embarrasses you. From now until the end of the year, I will be challenging myself to be embarrassed more often!

POP! Of Culture:

Where TF is Kate Middleton?
Caitlyn Jenner & Lamar Odom’s new sports podcast
Cara Delevingne’s house fire
Chelsea & Jimmy - Love is Blind
Brittany & Jax split
Palm Royale this week on Apple TV

The Story of How My First Business “Failed”

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 11:30:00 +0000

Ep. #38 I’m finally telling the story of how my first business “failed.” I use quotes because I have learned that failure is only failure if you choose to let it hold you back. Failure is part of the process and only failure if you choose to not learn and grow from it.

Career / job journey
Losing passion in a job
Taking care of my mental health
Developing a strict routine
Starting an online community and launching a business
Taking a risk by moving states
Quitting my corporate job without a “backup plan”
Going in and out of debt
Learning to pivot
Going back to corporate

This used to feel really weird and vulnerable for me. But now, it just feels like something that was a part of my journey. It helped me learn so much about myself and what I really want in life. Thanks for listening!!!

Ep. #31 In today’s episode, I am joined by not one, not two, but SIX wonderful guests. Today, my childhood besties, Alli, Erica, Megan, Brittany Claudia & Kaitlyn are on the podcast! I feel so lucky to have such a good group of girlfriends that I know will be in my life for a very long time. Some of these girls I have known since I was 3 years old, in elementary school or middle school. Even after moving states and coming back to Ohio or leaving to go to college. We’ve maintained our friendship through so many life changes and I couldn’t be more proud to call these girls my friends. They have supported me through life’s highs and lows. One thing I love about these women is that I know they support me being 100% myself and know who I am at my core. They have always been my biggest cheerleaders. I love watching them grow in life and succeed in their own individual ways! I’m seriously #blessed lol.

We discuss

- how to maintain long term & long distance friendships

- good qualities in friends to look for

- favorite memories with each other

- challenges of long distance friendships

- how to navigate visits & holidays when your friends and family lives out of the state

Timelines Don’t Exist & Finding Little Things to Be Thankful For

Wed, 22 Nov 2023 11:30:00 +0000

Ep. #30 Happy Thanksgiving!!! In this episode, we chat about how to handle comparison when it comes to timelines – especially when you’re home for the holidays. It can be tough to navigate complicated feelings that arise over the holidays, but let this serve as your reminder that it’s ok to state your boundaries and choose not to discuss something. Remember there is not one timeline that fits everyone. What is important to you may not be important to your family and friends.

No matter what the dynamic is for you during the holidays, there is alway something to be thankful for. Even if it is as small as the sun shining, coffee, the air in your lungs, there is still something positive that you can take away from every day. I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving and choose to give yourself grace!

Annoying Things That No One Talks About with Carlianna Nachazel

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 10:30:00 +0000

Ep. #26 If you want to lose a few brain cells, listen to this episode. Today, I am joined by my best friend, Carlianna for the SECOND time. We chat about all of those little annoying things that bother you that people don’t really talk about. We joke, we laugh, we have a good time. We try to figure out what an almanac is. We don’t claim to sound educated. It’s like we’re all sitting together on the couch chatting. We also chat about our Taylor and Travis theories. This episode will hopefully make you laugh and make you feel like people can relate to all those little things you thought were annoying, but you’ve never spoken to anyone about.

LOVE YOU!

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 10:30:00 +0000

Ep. #24 In this solo episode, I give you an update on the Taylor Swift “cousin” video I posted 2 weeks ago on TikTok. Well, here it is folks. Some people weren’t happy to say the least. I also talk about the long standing “bit” that is being Taylor Swift’s cousin. We do a deep dive on my opinion of her and Travis Kelce’s budding romance and the timeline of events.

And of course, in true Delaney fashion, it wouldn’t be a podcast episode with me if I wasn’t rambling and giving some sort of life advice.

Let Me Influence You to Be Yourself

Wed, 04 Oct 2023 10:30:00 +0000

Ep. #23 We are constantly being influenced to dress a certain way, follow trends, buy skincare, decorate our home a certain way…the list goes on. But let me influence you to do something else. Let me influence you to be yourself. You were meant to be on this earth for a specific reason. The world needs you to be yourself. It’s actually the least selfish thing you can do. It’s how you attract the people, the opportunities, the experiences that are meant for you. So consider this your pep talk to start acting on those impulses of what your heart is calling you to do. Let me encourage you to express yourself to the fullest. Consider this a rant of sorts or a pep talk, if you will!

You were meant to be exactly who you are so go BE YOU!

Ambition: Your Frenemy or BFF?

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 10:30:00 +0000

Ep. #22 In this mini solo episode, Delaney discusses the idea of befriending your frustration and your nagging ambition. Instead of beating yourself up and getting frustrated you’re not where you want to be yet - how can you learn to love the journey? This message & lesson has been showing up for me in a lot of ways recently so I wanted to brain dump and share the same with you. Having that feeling of frustration can be used as a motivator and a tool. It’s a good thing to have something you’re passionate about that you want to work toward. It makes life worth living. How can we enjoy and trust the process more? We get into how you can do this in today's episode.

The Magic of Surrender, Befriending The Ego and Risking It All with Kute Blackson

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 10:30:00 +0000

Ep. #21 On this episode of the podcast, we welcome a special guest, Kute Blackson. Kute is an inspirational speaker, transformational teacher and best selling author of “You are the One” and “The Magic of Surrender." Kute was born in Ghana and raised in London. He is the child of a Ghanian father and a Japanese mother. His father was a revered spiritual leader. Kute was speaking to his father’s congregations, in more than 300 churches, by the age of 8. At the age of 14, he was ordained into his father’s ministry and was set to carry on the family’s spiritual legacy. He had a calling to come to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams. So he moved to LA when he was 18 years old. He is now a coach, transformational teacher, extremely sought out by companies and organizations to share his story and inspire greatness. He has a podcast, 2 books you can purchase and a retreat called Boundless Bliss—The Bali Breakthrough Experience - which you will hear him talk about more at the end of the episode if you’re interested. In this episode, we talk about Kutes tremendous story of coming to the U.S., going after his dreams with extreme conviction, leaning into surrender, what that even means and how you can practice it in your own life. We also discuss the ego and how to befriend it rather than looking at it as the enemy. We also discuss how to lean into your purpose - no matter where you are at in your life. I think there is SO much to learn from this episode and I hope you all enjoy.

In this episode, we cover:

- Kute’s childhood and how he took a leap by moving to a new country at the age of 18 years old to pursue his passions

- Risking relationships and potential failure to create the life of his dreams

- What it means to truly surrender and how it can help you succeed

- The difference between “surrender” and “giving up”

- Recognizing when your ego is talking versus what your soul is telling you

- How to befriend your ego

- Surrendering even when you have responsibilities or a “regular life”

It’s Exhausting to Be Positive

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 10:30:00 +0000

Ep. #18 SOLO Mini Episode

If you couldn’t already tell by the title of this episode, this is not going to be a positive, uplifting episode. And maybe because of that, you will end up getting something positive out of it. Not gonna lie, it's a bit of a pity party. In our 20's, it can be so hard and confronting to think about where we thought we would be by now. We can get caught up in the timelines of it all. It's easy to focus on the things you don't have rather than the things you do.

It’s important to understand that even if someone looks like they have it all, they may still be struggling. You never truly know what’s going on behind closed doors. Normalize not being okay even when you have a lot to be grateful for. We are only human!

A huge mistake I think we make is not fully feeling it and sitting in the “suck.” Sometimes you just have to let it out, so you can get through it quicker.

This feels super icky and weird and vulnerable to share, but I share it in hopes that it makes other people feel better about where they are at or makes you feel less alone on your journey!

Adult Friendships, Things We Learn in Therapy and Navigating Change in Your 20's with Samantha Medeiros

Wed, 07 Jun 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Ep. #6 Samantha Medeiros is a new friend of mine and she joins me for episode 6! We met in Austin, TX when we were both visiting there recently and connected immediately. The conversation we had was so good, we had to bring it to the mic. Samantha (Sam) is so kind, open and so insightful. This conversation feels like one you would have on the couch in your comfy clothes with a close friend. I think so many people will get something out of this conversation even if it’s just feeling less alone because someone else relates to what you’re going through.

Topics Discussed:

Making friends in adulthood
Change in old friendships
Things we learned in therapy
Navigating through changes in your 20’s
Growing up and doing “the work” on yourself
