“Tapping is helping you find freedom from your emotions… You need to feel it to heal it… You have to feel it and move through it. then that can create some beautiful space for new things to happen.” – Lauren Fonvielle
How can tapping on your body help you with limiting beliefs? Or fear? Or anything else? The good news it can work even if you don’t believe in it. Tapping has made a huge difference for me and I’m excited to talk with Lauren Fonvielle, an Integrative Energy Practitioner, who specializes in EFT, about this practice.
EFT is a practice of gently tapping on certain points of the body while simultaneously acknowledging the emotions that you're feeling. It can help with anxiety and stress, reducing physical pain, reducing cravings, and getting to the root of limiting beliefs that might be holding you back.
We talk about:
How tapping helps shift energy and why tapping is good for those emotions we try not to feelStarting globally if you are overwhelmed and moving into more specificsThe importance of the words you use while tapping feeling true to youFinding benefits in even a few minutes of tapping and the power of tapping before meditationAcknowledging the negative or hard stuff when we tap vs. positive affirmationsAssessing the intensity of the emotion at the beginning and end of a session(NEED TO Get PAGES FROM WORKBOOK)

At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action.
Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it.
Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:
RECOGNIZE THE DEMANDS OF THIS SEASON. This doesn’t mean throwing up our hands and saying, I guess I can’t do __ right now. It means looking at what is important right now and what it calls for. It might mean not letting go of something, but letting go of what you think it looks like.BEGIN TO CONNECT WITH THE LAND. You can do this wherever you are. Start by noticing the land around you. Choose a place, maybe a tree. Spend some time being in and with that space. Put your feet on the earth. Touch, lie on, touch the tree. Open to the energetics of the space.ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR INTUITIVE SEVERANCE. In time you will want to heal your intuitive severance to open yourself up to your intuition and magic. Start by acknowledging that your intuition was severed at some point, but it’s there.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into how to end the year on a high note. November is here, bringing all the usual chaos—work deadlines, school events, Thanksgiving, and, this year, an election. But what if you could use this very full, kinda chaotic month to make real progress on that one big goal you’ve been holding onto?
This episode is all about embracing the fullness of November as an opportunity to go all in on something meaningful. Instead of letting the season’s busyness take over, let’s talk about how to stay focused, aligned, and energized as you pursue your most important goals. With the unique timing of both a new month and a New Moon on November 1st, there’s no better moment to set clear intentions and take action.

“It has to become a habit, so it's part of your identity — not another thing to do on your already busy schedule.”
–Ronnie Loaiza
40% of your day is made up of habits. What do your habits add up to? The good news is you can morph a bad habit into a good habit, or you can create a new habit. Habit Coach Ronnie Loaiza shows us how habits serve us better than hacks.
When you are creating a habit, work on one thing at a time. Creating a habit is about creating part of your identity. It starts to feel weird if you don’t do something. Ronnie shows us how habits can stick without getting us stuck in rigidity.
And you can create new habits at any stage of life … it’s not too late for you.
We talk about:
Starting with times you felt fulfilled when you are thinking about purpose or what’s nextLiving what you love to doCommitting to and declaring your purpose — whatever actually doing it looks likeStarting with the lowest most minimal thing you will stick withBeing set in your ways but not being stuck thereTaking away things that hinder you and adding in things that support you in new habitsABOUT RONNIE

“When you ask big questions, the universe provides big answers.” –Jennifer Urezzio
Spirituality and wellness aren’t extras — but as women they often become that way. What happens when we give them a place at the table? We do that here at PlanSimple, and I’m so excited to talk with Jennifer Urezzio, about weaving spirituality into business.
I’m really comfortable with the word soul. It’s one I use a lot, but not everyone does. Here’s how Jennifer is using it this episode: the soul is everything that this energetic being has ever experienced. When we slow down and listen, we can understand how we are meant to be here and connect more deeply.
When you are more conscious about what you are doing, little things become blips to get over, not huge earth-shattering issues.
We talk about:
Healing money issuesGetting permission to share how you can help and why it’s hard to manifest when you aren’t grounded. Activating your central energy channel (with a practice you can do before you do that task at hand)The value of connecting peopleClearing your energy of other people’s stuffNot being afraid to ask for what you really wantABOUT JENNIFER
Jennifer Urezzio is the founder of Soul Language – a paradigm that puts tangibility to Soul so a conscious connection can be established to enable crystal clear decisions for success. Jennifer is also a master intuitive and the author of two best-selling books. Currently, she has trained over 20 practitioners worldwide in Soul Language. At this time there are over 5,000 individuals all over the world connecting to their Soul Languages.
Jennifer has worked with and supported hundreds of successful, highly creative individuals with resolving blocks in their creative process so that new opportunities can be received and created.
Her clients consistently relate how Jennifer provides an environment where they feel safe to open up and be vulnerable. She helps them regain their strength and express their big purpose and mission. Jennifer has even been described as “liquid nitrogen” because she has the ability to see the core of possibilities within each individual’s energy field. She is a master at asking the soul-searching questions that allow individuals to understand and perceive new pathways of success and greatness in their lives.
In just one session clients report that new possibilities open up for them which allows them to express their creativity, stardom, and greatness in whole new ways to the world.

In this episode of the Plan Simple Podcast, I’m diving into the importance of reviewing our past experiences as a way to evolve and grow. I’ll share how taking the time to reflect on what went well—and what didn’t—helps us connect past insights to future actions. We’ll talk about the emotional benefits of reviewing, how it can shift your perspective, and how it leads to better planning. I’ll also walk you through practical ways to make reviewing a regular part of your life, from daily check-ins to seasonal reflections, so you can make meaningful changes and align with your future self.

“It's not a reinvention because we're not changing who we are. We are who we are at that point… we're remembering the parts that we literally gave away so we could take care of somebody else.”
–Donna Cravotta
We’re not reinventing ourselves. We’re finding the best parts of ourselves and turning it into something new. I’m so excited about this conversation with Donna Cravotta, who helps women over 50 become more visible.
Donna says that if we take the time to look, we've got possibilities, opportunities, that always surround us. Too often we’re too busy to see them. Often it’s a health crisis that makes us stop and look around. Sometimes it's another life shift.
We often hear about young people doing interesting things, but women over 50 are doing amazing things. If you are ready to step into your next thing — and be visible about it, this conversation is for you!
We talk about:
How social media, PR, and SEO work together to help you get visibleGetting really intentional about who you are talking to and how to capture their attentionFocusing on the things that don’t change—listening, building relationships and trustUnderstand how many clients you need and choose your actions from thereWomen over 50 doing amazing thingsFinding the best parts of you and building something new with themABOUT DONNA
Donna Cravotta is the CEO and Founder of Cravotta Media Group and the creator of BeVisible.club mastermind, and The Real 50 over 50: The Wisdom Revolution, a visibility project featuring 100+ women over the age of 50 who are quietly, or not so quietly, making a difference.

Ready to stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress? In this episode, we’re diving into aligned action—taking intentional steps that move you closer to the life and business you’ve been dreaming about. I’m breaking down how to get clear on what you really want, how to create a plan that feels right, and how to take consistent action without the overwhelm. You’ll learn how to recognize when your actions are aligned (and when they’re not), plus I’m sharing my personal strategies for staying focused and in flow.

“Your level of consistency is important — and different than frequency.”
–Lisa Mullis
You have an amazing solution for people … but you can’t seem to convert. You have a million ideas, but they don’t end up on the page or screen. What’s getting in your way? In FLOW365 when we talk about our three most important things, creating content comes up for at least half the people every single week. I bet some of you struggle with this too.
I’m really excited to talk with Lisa Mullis, marketing and messaging specialist about making our content easier to create and more effective.
We talk about what we actually mean when we talk about content and how much we actually need. Two helpful takeaways: consistency is more important than frequency, and you can and should reuse your content!
We also talk about:
How a 10-minute writing practice can get you unstuck and bring more ease to weekly contentWhy we start talking about solutions too soon and the CAASE frameworkHow much content you need to produce and the difference between consistency and frequencyReusing your contentWhy we need to repeat ourselves and think about each piece of content standing aloneThinking about social media platforms as tools you use, similar to productivity tools, and picking the one that works best for you.ABOUT LISA
Lisa Mullis is the founder of Paraphrase Communications. She combines 23+ years of messaging, marketing, and small business acumen with a team of tech specialists to help coaches, consultants, and creatives build their businesses.

In this episode of the Plan Simple Podcast, I’m diving into why creating a 90-day seasonal plan is a game-changer for balancing all the pieces of your life—work, wellness, family, and more. I’ll walk you through the exact process, starting with centering yourself, getting clear on your vision, and defining what success really looks like (beyond just checking boxes). We’ll also talk about identifying those sneaky obstacles that can trip you up and how to take actions that truly align with what you want.
And, of course, I’ll share how FLOW365 can help you follow through with ease—because life isn’t meant to be about the hustle, but about living fully and on purpose.

Ever feel like the different parts of your life are siloed?
It wasn't until I really integrated all the parts of my life that I really understood that I needed to think about all the parts of my life if I really wanted to get stuff done.
That’s why I created FLOW365 — to bring together all the parts in a supportive circle, because I also learned we aren’t meant to do any of this alone.
I’m so excited to have four FLOW365 members here to talk about the impact of FLOW on their business and the rest of their lives.
Here are some of the things they had to say:“FLOW is not just about business, but it is a core piece of my building a business.”
—Jennifer Zwiebel
I moved through my life differently because of FLOW. Coming into FLOW actually set me up to move through life with so much more ease and grace and focus and joy — as a human and a spouse, partner, a friend, as a community member, and specifically as a business owner.
—Roxanne Lowery
FLOW creates a sacred container that really allows me to flourish in all the ways.
—Kelley Grimes
Coming into Flow, I was like, my goodness, every person I meet, there's like this connection, a soul level connection that I learned something from every single person. And it's just very magical. It's such a magical place.
—Heather Hester

“It's hard to succeed as a woman if we leave parts of ourselves out of our vision…. We need inclusive plans to show up to our full life.”
You are not your business.
When we untangle ourselves from our businesses, when we make quarterly business goals that are separate from but aligned with our seasonal goals, we thrive in business and life.
I explain:
The difference between seasonal and quarterly goalsWhy you might have more than four seasons and how to define your seasonsHow to think about both kinds of goals and the actions you’ll takeWhy our actions sometimes don’t look the way we think they willHow you can move forward without hustling An amazing way to get support in creating and implementing both your seasonal and quarterly goalsLINKS
https://plansimple.com/DOABLE CHANGES
At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens.
Even though we want big change, it’s really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect.
Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:
IDENTIFY YOUR SEASONS. Seasons and quarters don’t always align, and often we have multiple seasons of different lengths. For example, the holiday season might feel different from winter. You might have three weeks of back to school transition between summer and fall or maybe you think vacation, back to school, back to business … Identify the season you are in now and what is coming next.THINK ABOUT QUARTERLY GOALS. I give some questions in the podcast to help you identify your quarterly goals. Take some time to journal on those questions. What’s one goal for the next quarter?WHAT ARE THE OBSTACLES? Sometimes our actions seem a little out of place with our goals, but in addressing our obstacles they move us forward. For example, maybe before you can do the creative work you need on your book, you need to get more sleep. Or maybe you need to do mindset work on visibility before you can reach your marketing goals. Note the obstacles in the way of your goals. Identify actions you could take to move past them.

“Learning gets me excited about something new. And so I'm using that energy to really step into the fall and see how I'm wanting to meet these things that are already on the calendar.”
—Mia Moran
Learning new things doesn’t have to derail plans you already set. Learning can get you refocused and re-energized about what you are doing.
We’ve started Back to Business week, and there are so many ahas happening. It’s not too late to join — and even if you aren’t an entrepreneur, you’ll get a lot out of days 4 and 5.
Each day offers several 5-minute videos that are with so much greatness, and if you are overwhelmed by the idea of listening to 55 talks (which you can do in an hour a day for one week), I wanted to show you how I am weaving them in.
Let’s set up your fall and get you into learning and applying what you learn to the things you already plan to do.

CHOOSE YOUR FOCUS. You can’t do all the things at once. What do you really want to focus on this fall? Choose four for business and three for the rest of your life. Then get more specific. If one of your focus areas is marketing, where are you focusing within that? See the Back to Business week workbook 1 for a worksheet on this Doable Change.SET UP YOUR WEEKLY FLOW. We need to put the things we are going to do into time, and we do that with a weekly plan, but it helps to start with a weekly flow. So when will you work with clients? When will you spend time on the focus areas you chose? Block that out so you can see it visually.CREATE YOUR MORNING/CLOSING PRACTICES. How we start and end the day matters. A new season is a great time to reset your daily practices. What is the first thing you want to do each day? Think about a practice that will support your throughout the day or set you up with a strong start. What is the first thing you want to do when you start work? And finally, how will you signal to yourself that you are done working and close in a way that sets you up for the next day? Pick ONE of these routines to set up now. Once you are in practice with it, add one of the others.

“We come here with a soul blueprint and we know exactly what we came here to deliver, to learn and to give and who to give it to.”
–Gosia Gorna
In 5 minutes, Gosia Gorna taught me the idea of the expansion game and being able to expand yourself to be open to so many more possibilities than I think we often let ourselves be open to. I can’t wait for you to meet her.
The voices that try to protect us are voices of fear, and so often they keep us from expanding and doing what we were meant to do. Those times you procrastinate or don’t send out the email or make the call are your response to that fear. But the biggest fears are actually showing us where to go.
A loving community or coach can help you spread your wings and fly. Ready to expand?
We talk about:
Playing with your fearsHolding both sides of thingsWhat shifts when you approach things as a spiritual quest instead of a series of to dosWhy “what do I need to do?” shouldn’t be the first question you ask yourself in the morningBreath and the courage to meet yourselfThe power of taking the time to just beABOUT GOSIA

“We all know that when we write copy, we have to talk to the ideal person, but I find it's really easy to introduce bias and start talking about what you want or what you think they want and not what they actually want.”
–Mimi Zhou
Are you talking about the right things? Sometimes our copywriting misses the mark because we talk about what our potential clients or customers need … instead of what they actually want. I’m really excited to talk with conversion copywriter Mimi Zhou about how we really drive action with our writing.
You can be really good at what you do without being really good at talking about it. It can be hard to get out of our own heads and what we know. We need to use the language our clients or customers use. How do we do that?
We talk about:
How to gather the data that drives the writingHow to get a better response on questions on social mediaThe kinds of numbers you need for the data to be relevantSelling one thingTrigger events in marketing Creating a timeline for that shows the before, the buy, and the steps in betweenABOUT MIMI
As a conversion copywriter, Dr. Mimi Zhou revels in customer research--because when you understand what your audience wants, you don't need to guess what they'll pay you for.
Her copywriting projects are built on a thorough research foundation where she studies info your audience provides through reviews, surveys, interviews, and more. Her ability to parse data into numerical information and read between the lines to hear what customers say beneath the surface helps her understand what customers want even when they don't tell you directly.
A fun fact about Mimi: Her path to becoming a professional researcher began at UC Berkeley and culminated in her PhD at New York University. Later, her belief that knowledge is power led her to seek copywriting training from the original conversion copywriter, Joanna Wiebe (founder, Copyhackers). So Mimi literally got a professional research degree and then studied copywriting with the original conversion copywriter herself!

DOABLE CHANGES
At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action.
Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it.
Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:
SURVEY YOUR READERS. Create an 8–10 question survey about what they need and where they are. Your goal is to stop guessing about what people want and be able to talk to them about what they want. Have you heard the advice to sell people what they want and give them what they need? To do that you need to hit what they really want, not what you think they need.ASK A MULTIPLE CHOICE... - Показать больше
