You’re going to want to listen to this. Especially if you’re a woman and especially if you’re a man. And if you’re thirsty for more, go check out the blog post about how I stopped wearing make-up: www.awe-inspireme.com

Aiming For Done

I Stopped Shaving My Legs and No One Died.

If you want to be your own before and after in a certain area of your life, you’re probably going to have to make some changes in how you see yourself and the world. Join me and my long lost brother, Ryan, as we chat about how to make small adjustments in order to change the way we see things, thereby changing everything!

Ryan: Changing the Camera Angle in your Life

FACES is a summer camp unlike any other. It’s the beautiful environment I get to work in once a year for twelve days... and today you’ll understand, from listening to these three fifteen-year-olds, why I can’t stop talking about it. And listen carefully, because each one of them shares something valuable that I’m incorporating into my life this week, and I hope those of you listening in can do the same!

Holly, Ash, and Cam: Bringing the Good Stuff Home

In this episode, we dive into how to take what we learned during our 2 week experience at FACES this summer and make it real in our day to day lives.

Keeyah: Dreaming Big!

I want be able to relax and recharge (with my family) without spending a million dollars doing it. Impossible or possible? I’m still navigating this one... but I have a few tips I’m trying to make happen this summer. Listen in to see if they might work for you too!

Budget-friendly Vacationing

Opinions about sex from two very non-experts! Okay, so we actually have more questions than answers. But the thing is, sex within a marriage is something that is worth talking about. Marriage is, in our opinion, the very best place for sex, but we’ve also found that it seldom gets talked about in this context in a healthy and real way. Come listen in as my sister Beth and I do put our best efforts into navigating this topic!

Beth: Sex and the Ability to Laugh at Yourself

Wouldn’t it be great if everything we invested energy into gave us great results? I’m not kidding, this could be your life! The only time we actually waste our time and energy is when we spend it outside of our sphere of control. Listen in to get pumped about how we can throw out the stuff we’re wasting our energy on!

Stop Acting like You Can Control Other People.

The wind is seriously howling in this episode. I’m so sorry... but I promised myself I’d post this week! Some thoughts for you on giving life to your dreams, even when it means saying NO to yourself and other people you love.

The Worst Podcast Episode Ever

Aiming for Done is back! ...And you’re going to love this week’s announcement (mostly because it’s going to help you become the person of your dreams).

A Grand Announcement

Homeschool: As homeschooled child myself, this is topic that I’ve always been a mixture of excited and hesitant to talk about. Excited because of what that chance to learn at home, completely at my own pace, gave me... and hesitant because a lot of the staunchly held misconceptions around children who homeschool, and the mothers who educate them. I hope that if nothing else, my conversation with Ashley inspires you to live a life that works for you! (Throwing social pressures and expectations to the wind)

Ashley: Unpacking the Choice to Homeschool

My aunt Marilyn is here on the podcast to talk about failures... and how they can be fuel for the fire of our greatest successes instead of the straws that break our backs. Or just the things that keep us down. Her experience fighting against the porn industry and educating parents on how to combat a sexually saturated media, make this an interesting conversation! Be prepared to re-examine the hard parts of your life and start seeing everything in a whole new light.

Marilyn: Making Failure Awesome (and also... Porn)

If you want to live a simple, beautiful life that focuses on the things that really matter to you, Robin is the girl who can help you get there. Listen in, to find out how looking for ways to work towards a more sustainable and ethical life isn’t something that works as a limiting factor for her and her family. Rather, for Robin, getting rid of certain habits in her life that have harsh effects on other people and the planet as a whole has caused her to gravitate towards a life that is so simple and intentional that it’s absolutely breathtaking! And the best part of all of it: You don’t have to wait until your kids are older or you start making more money to implement any of this. You can start making your life a little more sustainable this minute. Make sure you check out Robin’s Instagram feed (twentyventi) to experience the breathtaking-ness firsthand. And if you follow Robin, you’ll also get further insight into the steps she continues to take every day to move towards sustainability. Note: Robin wanted me to add that she and her family aren’t actually “fully vegan” anymore because they started wearing wool, and wearing secondhand leather because they have found them to be more sustainable options than synthetics.

Robin: The Confidence to Reach for a Sustainable and Beautiful Life

Dreaming about the next big thing: a recipe for discontentment? We think not. Vicky and I argue, perhaps ironically, that the best way to stay grounded during the hard moments of your day job (whether you’re at home with little people, like us, or doing almost anything else) is to allow yourself free license to float into the clouds whenever your circumstances allow it. And the wonderful part is that this thing, this dream, can be just about anything, or any combination of things... as long as it gives you the fuel that you need to weather those extremely mundane or overwhelming moments. Creating something uniquely yours- that you find beautiful- whether it’s wrapped up in a simple daily task, or a business, isn’t something you can afford be ashamed of or shove to the back-burner, it should be the very centre of everything we do. Listen up, and hopefully, we’ll all come a little closer to those things that make our hearts sing- the things that transform the ordinary into absolute magic!

Vicky: Daring to Dream

How great would it be to know that you- not the bank- actually own the home you’re living in; that the place you carefully tend and cultivate each day belongs 100% to you and your family? If you’re intrigued by the idea of paying down your mortgage (or anything else) quickly, here’s a look at my own poorly planned and hastily executed methods of getting on track with me goals.

Mortgage-free by 43!

Do you ever see things that you know are wrong but feel powerless to make change? If so, this podcast is for you. You guys are so lucky because my dreamy Social Studies teacher husband has finally agreed to do an episode, in which he teaches us how small incremental changes (like paying attention to where the apples you buy are coming from... or just buying less stuff) literally make a world of difference.

Hans: You are Responsible for Changing the World

Stop striving for perfection. Stop it right now. Aiming for perfection will make you feel overwhelmed and it might even make you want to quit. Come laugh with me and my super inspiring guests as we stumble through life, and instead, try ‘Aiming for Done!’ This podcast is all about giving it all you’ve got today in pursuit of your dreams. But it’s also about being willing to fall on your face and look ridiculous, knowing that there’s always tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day...
