The old definition of being consistent isn't serving you.
In this episode of The Magic is You podcast, we dive deep into the topic of Consistency.
Join us as we explore the true meaning of consistency and how it can impact your life, business, and creativity.
Here are the key takeaways from the episode:
🔹 Consistency is not about being the same all the time, but rather adapting to what is true in the moment and in the season. It's important to find a balance between routine and flexibility.
🔹 Following a strict production schedule may hinder the creation of valuable content. Instead, trust your intuition and listen to the natural flow of ideas. Break free from societal expectations and find your own rhythm.
🔹 Just like nature goes through seasons of change, embracing periods of rest and inactivity can be important for your personal and professional growth.
Trust your intuition to guide you during these slower periods.
Remember, consistency is not just about following a set schedule, but about responding to your intuition and embracing change. Trust yourself and don't worry about others' opinions or expectations.

In this episode, Michelle talks about:
- Taking your power back in business by focusing on your own life, your own problems, your own desires, instead of everyone else's
- Maintaining integrity by BEING the embodiment of the "solution" instead of trying to be the expert and you will ATTRACT people without all the added effort
- How money won't solve problems - it'll only amplify whatever the truth of your reality actually is. We need to address the problem without immediately thinking that money is the only solution
- Don't add other people's issues to your own inner work

On this episode of The Magic is You, Michelle discusses the importance of following your desires to achieve your goals. She shares how saying yes to joy and fun has a ripple effect on not only personal life but also on business success. Michelle also argues against the idea of focusing on one idea at a time and suggests that it's crucial to follow where your energy actually wants to flow. It's important to start honoring our energy, intuition, and unique roadmap to create what we want in our own unique way.

In this episode, Michelle expands on her thoughts around attracting a community of 1000 true fans versus just trying to build a big audience. The first approach keeps you grounded in what you have 100% control over: yourself. The latter approach makes you obsess over numbers and you end up pushing quantity over quality. As usual, we believe in personal development first, business second and the idea of 1000 true fans is a perfect example of how putting your art, your creativity, your desires, and your personal growth first can end up being the very thing that leads to a successful business full of lifelong customers who let you be YOU.

Online business has a way of making people feel like they are going crazy. Stressing out over everything. Checking their numbers obsessively. There's a reason for this. From the beginning of our lives and throughout our schooling and social upbringing, we were programmed to follow the tracks that other people lay out for us.
And when you start a business, there are a lot of people saying "Follow my track" and they're tapping into the fact that this is exactly what you want to hear.
And so you follow the track, you take the steps, you do all the things you're told to do, exactly the way you're told to do them and yet... nothing is working the way guru X said it would.
So you think something is wrong with you. "Maybe I'm not productive enough, pretty enough, well-spoken enough..."
And your stress levels start rising higher and higher because you're trying to focus on all the things you're told to focus on: "be consistent", "grow your numbers", "sell people what they want to buy."
Let's clear all of this away and sit still enough to see what's really going on. "What do I really need?" "What do I really want?"
A little voice might respond: "I want to feel the way I want to feel."
Ok, what's in the way of that?
The Little Voice: "I can't feel the way I want to feel if I'm always doing what other people say I should do."
What happens when you always do what other people tell you to do?
The Little Voice: "It keeps me out of touch with what is uniquely best for me."
What happens when you do what's best for you?
The Little Voice: "I focus on what I can control."
What happens when you focus on what you can control?
The Little Voice: "I find my power. I find peace. I find well-being."
What's stopping you?
The Little Voice: "I don't know who I am without following other people's steps for me."
But isn't that the journey? To come back home to who you are?
The Little Voice: "Yes"
You are safe. It's time to begin.

We also talk more about Teachery - Jason's online course platform software. Teachery is the platform that I use for selling and sharing pretty much all of my creations.

In this episode, I talk about what's behind the process of upgrading to more powerful beliefs.
It's true that our beliefs create our results and reality.
Often we go straight into just ticking off more to-do boxes without stopping to change the belief we are carrying around.
Some of the things we believe about ourselves are downright lies.
Shedding those lies is a critical (and often painful) part of the process of being who we REALLY are.
When we step into who we REALLY are, we are able to hold space for more POWERFUL beliefs in order to more effortlessly create more results.
In this episode, Aimee shares what she's doing to move through anxious moments this winter. She shares 7 tools she's used just today to move out of a dysregulated state back to calm.
-
Lower the mental stakes
-
Empty your worries out & surrender them
-
Be your best encourager
-
Ease the pressure
-
Make two types of list: to-dos + deliciousness
-
Luxuriate in your journey and come home to nourishing yourself
-
Remember: You can trust in your desires.

In this episode, I share another rant against the traditional understanding of what it means to "focus on what thing". The only thing you need to focus on - I believe - is focus on being the FULLEST expression of you. This is not about picking the "right idea". This is about doing whatever the heck you want to do and allowing yourself to burn things down and do something else over and over as much as you want to. Why? Because the magic isn't in what you "pick"; it's in who you BECOME. Having lots of different experiences and playing with lots of different ideas... these are all opportunities for you to GROW and EVOLVE. Abundance comes from you being more YOU. Allow yourself to keep evolving, keep changing, keep surprising yourself.
Some people believe that making more money means working harder. For me, it's the opposite. Let me explain...

As a mom and wife with 2 kids and as the sole income provider, I've found that the solution to getting things done while still prioritizing self-care, sleep, and sanity is actually very simple. Listen to this episode to find out what it is!
Here's what I would do if I had to start over with zero money, zero customers, zero email list!
Do you constantly stop yourself from acting on your ideas? It's time to step into your power.
In this episode, Michelle talks about how she thinks that picking and sticking to one topic in business is outdated advice and a remnant of the same ideologies that had us sitting in classrooms to get a degree that would guarantee us a 40 year job at a single company. We've just transferred that broken system into entrepreneurship. Does it work? Yes - until it stops working. Until you realize that you were never wired to fit into the box of a single topic. Until you realize that the most powerful version of you is the FULLEST expression of you. It's time to stop being afraid of the very thing that makes you powerful. It's time to come out of the box and honor the child inside of you who didn't edit herself in order to "make sense" or "make money". It's time to make it safe to be who you really are.
Here's the video that Michelle mentions in the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Uo2nomf4I0&t=11s

One of my philosophies is "Launch first, tweak later."
You may be itching to "get feedback" or "ask for other people's opinion" on what you create, but we actually don't encourage this as a regular practice.
Why?
Because it slows you down. It makes you think that you need to "get it right" or worse - "get it perfect" - before you can launch.
It distracts you from the inner work necessary for you to step into the decision that "This is good enough now and I can improve it later."
What is the connection between your desires and your art? What do years of wanting and denying do to your creativity?Could allowing more of what you want into your life help you finally make your art?
Michelle's thoughts on what it actually looks like to build your body of work in the real world with your real life.
There's a lot of nuance to the rules around consistency that aren't being included in the conversation. Hopefully this podcast sheds some light.
Aimee here! In this episode I’m going to chat with you about what to do if you’re feeling embarrassed or ashamed when you share your work. You might experience this while you show people your products, your store, art, your posts, website...or the whole lot. I’ve been thinking a lot about how in this scenario, the embarrassment could be a wonderful tool and opportunity. Perhaps it’s trying to show you something. And what if we could dissolve those cringey, shame feelings, and use them to create something we’re proud of?
Are you complicating what it means to create from your zone of genius. In this episode, Michelle shows how simple it can be to create planners from our zone of genius by standing in integrity with ourselves.
In this episode, Michelle talks about:
- How I connect with my intuition
- How I think about delegating work
- What I think about niching down
- How I think about starting and stopping ventures
- My top 3 mindset shifts to get to my 5 figure month
- How much time I spend working on my business
Does showing up in your business fill you with dread? Whether it's writing a blog post, making a podcast, or video - do you just have a hard time with it? I share how I'm able to show up without the voice of the inner critic holding me back.
Here is one simple mindset shift to keep you from getting overwhelmed with all the ideas.
In this episode, I answer a question from a student of our course Passive Income Planner Girl about how get past the fear of putting out a design that could be better.
As always, I believe everything comes down to focusing on the opportunity for inner growth.
You'll find that if you focus on your inner growth, then you're really focusing on what is IN YOUR POWER TO CONTROL. When we do that, the fear melts away.
Enjoy this episode and go put something out in the market place this week for the sake of your own inner growth. :)
