About this listen

 A Podcast For Living Your Engaged and Joyful Life That Green Dress is a podcast for women just like you. Women who have found this moment of loss, invisibility, confusion, a lack of motivation or inspiration, or even an increase in self-doubt that’s paralyzed us from the living the life we know we deserve. The truth is, every environment, be it a workplace, home, a relationship, can leave us challenging our beliefs, our worth, and our value - am I doing enough professionally, being enough as a community member, I am attractive enough for my partner, am I making enough healthy meals for my kids…you know, doing ALL the things. You may have your own version of a green dress, maybe your narrative is that you are a mom in the throws of motherhood and you’ve lost your femininity and identity and you want it back. Perhaps you are entering your second or third career in life and want your experience and history to be valued. Entering the workforce with a degree in hand only to realize the job wasn’t what you imagined. Perhaps you’ve lost your joy and you want to find it... I want to invite you back into the person you were designed to be by helping you tune in and turn up the volume on your abilities, talents and gifts. Walking back into the engaged life meant that I had to revisit the woman I was from the very beginning. The engaged life gives you validation, and opens you up to encouragement and support from other women navigating through the same territory as you. When we run alone and empty we reject spaces to get quiet, reflect and imagine because they feel uncomfortable. I want to help you cultivate that space again where you can dream, imagine again. That Green Dress Podcast is going to open you up for functional alone time and rejuvenating relationships at the same time. Join me each week championed, energized, renewed, and ready to come out of isolation into the community with other women and ready to live your most engaged life. As a woman you may feel like you’re tirelessly trying to achieve a sense of belonging and acceptance in your home and work life. In order to do that you’re often “turning down” the things that make you who you really are for the acceptance of other people. This may have led to a muted and tired version of who you were designed to be. I want to invite you back into the person you were designed to be by helping you tune in and turn up the volume on your abilities, talents and gifts.

    There is Wisdom in the Rows: 10 Lessons learned from the farm
    Jul 13 2021
    There is so much wisdom and so many life lessons to be learned from a farm. I recently had the opportunity to return to the farm and I observed with different eyes...a new level of admiration, appreciation, and awe. This week, I share the 10 things I’ve learned from the farm and my parents, the farmers. From assuming positive intent, to not “sweating the small stuff,” and to operating from a solution-oriented lens, there is something in this list that will enhance your work and relationships. Join me!

  • Wow! The positive impact of experiencing awe.

    Wow! The positive impact of experiencing awe.
    Jun 29 2021
    As you know, I spent many years focused on the grind. Nose down, blinders up and all. And you know what happened? I missed so many opportunities to experience AWE. I was first introduced to this concept (which sounds strange, I know) by my uncle, John DeGraaf, as I began to explore the possibilities ahead of launching the podcast. I had no idea the dramatic and positive impact that experiencing awe could have on a person...on me. Did you know that experiencing awe can improve mood, increase gratitude and life satisfaction, decrease stress, and improve connection? Wild, right?! This week, I share the research behind awe, the experiences of awe I fully embraced last week on holiday, and ideas for ways to experience awe each day. And guess what, they are free! Join me to increase those moments that stop you in your tracks, find you at a loss for words, leave you with your mouth agape, and give you goosebumps. Say yes to awe with me!

    Encore Episode: That Green Dress, the podcast.
    Jun 8 2021
    What’s That Green Dress? Is it a fashion podcast? No. Is it a show all about JLo’s green dress...the one with the plunging neckline? Um, no. Is a program about sustainable clothing? One episode was! I am little over a year into this show and new listeners are engaging every single day - THANK YOU! As such, I decided it was time to reintroduce the podcast. Tune in to hear where this journey started including the reason for the title, That Green Dress. I invite you to listen to the episode, reflect on your own joy journey, your growth over the past year, and celebrate how far you’ve come. If you are listening for the first time, you are right in time! Welcome to our learning community. Together, we can experience greater joy and combat burnout!
