THE BODY LOVE METHOD
Body Love Method™ was created by Emma Polette to empower women through effective practical self care practices that don’t include harsh diets or exercise.

Quiet marketing success
Quiet Marketing with my guest this week Danielle Gardner. How did quiet marketing come about, what does it mean, and why it has an appeal to people who want more enjoyment, simplicity, effortlessness in building their online business.
Danielle Gardner is an innovator and she loves to examine, research, notice, test, and take a refreshing approach to making business a truly enjoyable lifestyle business.
And this is what she teaches others who gravitate towards those same or similar values.
Learning how to market ‘quietly” and meaningfully and in doing so draw in likeminded clients that you will love working with is a slower approach and may not be for everyone, but it has a growing appeal with those who identify as being introverted, empathic and highly sensitive.

“When they zig, I zag.” – Danielle Gardner

HIGHLIGHTS
• Why LEANING BACK is so effective
• What it means to AIM LOWER and how does that help business grow
• KEEPING THE SABATH –  How Danielle came to create a full day of rest every week. A day of no in puts and how effective this is
• GENEROSITY in marketing
• Switching on the Internal meter of “Can I Be Bothered?” and what that means

Creative Wilderness has a trail
In quantum physics it was a revelatory discovery to note that objects appear only when the subject looks and disappears when the subject is not looking. Applying that to our creative life, when we take a step into the wilderness, into the unknown, the trail appears. The next step is revealed. And then the next, and the next as we continue.
 
Wilderness. It may conjure up images of chaos, jungle, thick forests and wild untamed places. But there is a trail.  One could say creative wilderness IS our trail. The trail is not straight and, more often than not, it isn’t apparent and the trail doesn’t appear until we start walking into the wilderness. Like quantum physics has shown us, we only see the trail when we look and and when we look we may see the trail appear one step at a time.
 
Creativity takes Courage
-Henri Matisse
 
HIGHLIGHTS
• HOW TO TAKE COURAGE – steps to move from fear and step into Creative Wilderness
• HOW WE CAN APPLY QUANTUM PHYSICS to  move into the unknown and see the steps we need to take
[Be mindful that the suggestions in this episode about ways to move out of mild fears is not a substitute for medical advice. If you are suffering from trauma and fear is overwhelming you, please seek assistance from your health and medical professionals.]
