Anyone who’s had a bored kid (or has been a bored kid) can tell you that inspiration doesn’t come simply from having lots of time.

Living in the dobervan outside Steve’s biz partner’s metalworking shop the past few weeks reminded me of that.

How NOT to flow?

— Force it.

When you’re communicating from the soul of your work, inspiration is not a one-hour “task.”

Because when you push, resistance pushes back.

Yet have you ever felt creatively blocked or simply wanted to craft your messaging in a way that felt in flow?

In episode #166, I take you through my process to find flow in your messaging.

Listen in.

Deeper support from me:

What’s your Messenger Archetype? Take the quiz.

I lead Messenger Masterminds for women coaches ready to feel solid in their messaging and grow a movement that matters ~ both to the world and to their business’ bottom line. Limited spots.

As a Copywriter + Messaging Expert, I craft copy that makes your dream clients feel SEEN and conveys the true value and impact of your work so that it moves them to sign up. Interested? I’d love to chat.

208. Don’t Underestimate the Power of Quiet Leaders with Ashley Looker 37:41

۲ years پیش37:41

37:41

We have a tendency to underestimate quiet leaders. Or we assume anyone successful ISN’T a quiet leader. This hit home for me when my friend Ashley Looker said she wanted to come to my Gathering of Quiet Leaders. As an Empowerment Coach, Mindfulness Teacher and Journaling Expert for ambitious over-achieving humans, Ashley’s got 11,000+ followers for each of her biz and podcast accounts on IG. Her voice is definitely getting heard, and she’s no beginner. Listen to our co-hosted convo to reorient and peel away layers of internalized bias. AND if you’ve got a more mature business and want to be in the company of other established quiet leaders! In this episode, Ashley and I talk about… How our relationships with our voices have evolved over the past several years Who we’re taught to be as business owners & disrupting the expectation to be loud and showy How we are each doing things differently than we were taught Why she hadn’t thought of herself as a quiet leader until now and what shifted Mentioned in the Episode: Ashley’s Website: http://uniqueholistichappiness.com Ashley’s Instagram Rest is Resistance Book Adrienne Maree Brown Rachel Cargle Connect with Adria: Uncover your Messenger Archetype & more at AdriaSophia.com .

207. Soulful Creating & Transmitting the Energy of an Offering with Ahava Shira 1:07:51

۲ years پیش1:07:51

1:07:51

When we choose to take our work deeper and bring others into it, some inquiries arise: How do we create offerings that forward our message and mission, that are thought leadership, personified ? How do we share in ways that help people feel our offering and that light our fire and keep it burning? And when what we’re creating is so potent and felt , how do we convey it CLEARLY? Recording this episode with my friend Ahava Shira — author, memoirist, caregiver for her husband with Parkinson's and creative midwife for other writers and caregivers — became a transmission of energy, of feeling. We’ll help you feel what it is to breathe life into your work, to commune with the soul of your offerings and to channel that into sharing. In this episode, Ahava and I talk about… Co-creating with the souls of Rooted and TendHer What it means to create on a felt level versus an intellectual level How we share without losing that felt sense and bring people inside that feeling How we talk about our work clearly without losing the beauty of the language Connect with Ahava: Ahava’s website & TendHer lovinginquiry.com Substack “What the Day Holds” Ahava's IG @ahava.shira Connect with Adria: Uncover your Messenger Archetype & more at AdriaSophia.com .

206. Drawing on Our Ancestors for Courage & Leadership 49:01

۲ years پیش49:01

49:01

We are made up of those who came before us, and the story of our lineage (which doesn’t have to be blood relatives) may hold clues for how we want to show up. Ancestral work can be a way to understand our own voices and can be healing for us and our leadership, helping us show up as fuller, more rooted versions of ourselves. For quiet leaders, ancestral work can create a pathway back to our own power, to feel safe to be ourselves in ways we haven’t before, to take up more space and to speak quietly but clearly . In episode 206 of Quiet Messenger, I’ll help you investigate the themes in your own lineage, what you hold carried down from your ancestors, what patterns you’re here to shift. In this episode, I talk about… How ancestral connection helps quiet leaders find the courage to speak up Stickier aspects like cultural appropriation and the erasure that came with "white"ness What it means for those of European ancestry to connect back to their indigeneity Ancestral connection as a spiritual practice & my rituals to connect with ancestors How to draw on the strength of your ancestors and questions to take you deeper, wherever you’re at in your journey Mentioned in the Episode https://landback.org/ Nisha Moodley Becca Piastrelli, Belonging Podcast Susanna Barkataki - Cultural Appropriation in Yoga Dr Rosales Meza’s Decolonize Your Mind course Racial Justice educator Lettie Gore - @sincerely.lettie Mallorie Vaudoise - Honoring Your Ancestors Connect with Adria Uncover your Messenger Archetype & more at AdriaSophia.com .

205. Stepping Out of Your Creative Cave & Sharing 30:33

The final step in rekindling your work is to SHARE it. To be leaders and create ripple effects, we can’t stay in our creative caves. Our work needs to live out in the world in order to do its magic. But this step doesn’t just “happen” when you’re someone who may rarely feel ANY nudges to share publicly. Episode 205 of Quiet Messenger is dedicated to helping you step out of your creative cave...without disconnecting from your creativity (or yourself). In this episode, I talk about… Two questions to ask yourself in order to share your leadership if you’re an introvert Why I had to restart the entire rekindling process in order to spark the nudge to share The voice inside that said “this needs to be heard” How I applied my power of hyperfocus to creating & releasing podcast episodes Ways to leave the creative cave when that’s your natural space Links from the episode My free Rekindle Map Uncover your Messenger Archetype & more at AdriaSophia.com .

After a season of following the sparks of inspiration, my creative fire was rekindled. I was finally ready to create again. Exploring what this work artistically and creatively wanted to become turned into a many-month process. We often get advice but wonder how to apply it, especially as quiet leaders that don’t see that many leaders out there like us. Episode 204 of Quiet Messenger is packed with the how . I share exactly what I did – thought processes, exercises, and all! In this episode, I talk about… Why I had to burn things down before I got the spark of what to create How I answered the question — What’s my quiet way of being counter-culture, non-conforming? Why writing the story of my ancestors brought understanding of my own leadership The vulnerability of coming out of the broom closet & weaving my spiritual practice into my work Links from the episode My free Rekindle Map Azalea Moen & Wilder Ones Studio Kelly Diels article Uncover your Messenger Archetype & more at AdriaSophia.com .

Think of a plant that’s been in a pot that’s too small for too long. It’s grown as much as it can in that container. When you give that plant a bigger pot, its roots grow deeper and spread out to take up more space. Until finally you start to see fresh growth above the soil. I was like that rootbound plant that had outgrown its pot. And going on sabbatical gave me all that fresh soil. But before I could rekindle my work and feel creative flow again, I needed to expand my root system.

200. Redefining Consistency - 200 Episodes…in Eight Years 49:25

Many of us view being consistent and reliable as a badge of honor. It’s natural and inevitable in the productivity culture we live in. But what if we redefined consistency? What if we recognized that consistency isn’t a rigid thing? That it’s about continuing to show up and giving yourself what you need to do that . AND what showing up looks like might be fluid. Especially if you’re highly sensitive or neurodivergent and struggle to keep up. That’s what I’ve learned from doing 200 episodes of my podcast...and taking almost 8 years to do it. In episode 200, we turn the tables and Kat asks me The #1 thing I’ve learned doing 200 episodes of my podcast What’s changed in the messaging landscape since I started in 2015 The key to continuing to show up & create for 8 years The top 3 episodes downloaded, all-time (I was surprised by this) Uncover your Messenger Archetype & more at AdriaSophia.com .

This is for you if you’re neurodivergent, suspect you are, love someone who is, or are simply ADHD-curious. For years, I suspected I was neurodivergent, that my brain worked differently than others. BUT I thought of ADHDers as bold, rash, outspoken and disorganized risk takers with overflowing energy. I, on the other hand, was a careful, shy, sensitive overthinker who ran out of steam by the afternoon. It didn’t seem possible to match up the view I had of ADHD with how I saw myself as an HSP (highly sensitive person). Until I read about masking.

Your way is likely not loud. It may not be shouting on a loudspeaker at a protest or posting a polarizing opinion on social media. But that doesn't mean it isn't activism. In case the word “activism” has you thinking this isn’t for you, let me remind you that as a Quiet Messenger, you’re an activist. You are speaking on behalf of a message that needs to get heard. The reason you may discount yourself is that most of what we think of as activism is actually pretty extroverted. Join season co-host Kat Frogosa and I in this conversation on Introverted Activism. Because you CAN quietly show up for your values…and the truth is that introverts can be just as effective and are JUST AS NEEDED as loud, outspoken folks. *** Uncover your Messenger Archetype & more at AdriaSophia.com .

I knew if I had a friend I was co-creating with, it would be easier to show up. I didn’t realize at the time that I was employing the technique of body doubling. Enter Kat Frogosa, past client, friend, ADHD Money Coach and fabulous co-host for this season of Quiet Messenger. Because who says we need to follow the standard business formula that says we each have to build our own things? Kat and I talk about… Feeding the desire for community, in an introverted way The power of body doubling to accomplish tasks you’ve been procrastinating on for MONTHS Permission to try differently, not harder (the anthem for Quiet Messengers & neurodivergent folks that don’t think the way the dominant paradigm does) What it means to not hold your business or work alone Uncover your Messenger Archetype & more at AdriaSophia.com .

196 A Persona vs Messaging that Feels Like You with Kat Frogosa 1:00:51

۴ years پیش1:00:51

1:00:51

Do you ever feel like there’s a certain way you need to sound to be heard online? An empath with a rebellious streak, Quiet Messenger Kat Frogosa is a natural-born nurturer with major resistance when being told to do things a certain way. If it doesn’t feel good deep down in her bones, she’s not doing it . She had seen so many women — especially burned out, overwhelmed empaths — cringe when they heard the word “finances,” and knew that there must be a better way. So she turned her background in finance into work as a Transformational Money Coach. But even though Kat was getting engagement on social media, her messaging didn’t feel like it truly reflected her. She had come away from past copywriting trainings with catchy copy but confused and unsure what her voice was, feeling scared to be herself — and like she needed to put on a persona and brush up on pop culture to sound “cooler.” Even when she knew what she wanted to say, she would stare at a google doc for 45 minutes, paralyzed to get it right before putting it out there. She was holding herself back, not actively seeking clients. Through joining a cohort of other Quiet Messengers , she began to see her sensitivity and empathic nature as a superpower rather than a weakness. She realized she could impact the lives of other women by teaching them the tools she’d learned to help herself. She realized that she could be a quiet person AND a disruptor…if she gave herself permission to just be herself. (And let out the bubbly, lots-to-say, magnetic voice of her inner Expressive Messenger Archetype!) Her confidence in herself as a quiet leader grew, and she found herself no longer holding back. She started showing up more on Instagram, being more consistent with her newsletter, and trying new strategies — like creating a quiz and a meditation — that she would never have tried if she wasn’t feeling so solid in her messaging (and her voice). This led to discovery calls, being invited to interviews, and new clients…until she was finally ready to go all in with pitching to be on podcasts and revving up her referral system! Listen in to hear Kat’s story. I bet you’ll relate to a lot! Kat and I talk about: The exact messaging shifts that made her people really “get” it Why The Disruptor and The Empath are not opposites, and how they can coexist in you The difference between putting on a persona and bringing forward the quiet or rebellious part of yourself that has been suppressed How being rebellious and being in alignment are kinda the same thing Deeper support from me: What’s your Messenger Archetype?

195 Neurodiversity, ADHD & How “Differences” Connect with Sarah Hennessey 1:06:53

۴ years پیش1:06:53

1:06:53

Sarah Hennessey is a Sustainability & Wellness Coach supporting self-identified female misfits who are looking for a sustainable and alternative twist on living a truly healthy life. As someone who was too shy to speak in school growing up, Sarah spent most of her life definitely not seeing herself as a Messenger. When she started her business as an adult, she felt more comfortable as a virtual assistant behind the scenes of others’ businesses. Then she felt the pull to step out as a leader and share what she had to say. She had a background working with kids on the spectrum of autism and a degree in Psychology with a concentration in child development and disability. But the pressure of visibility made her feel the need to hide her own neurodiversity and other differences that she thought would stop clients from hiring her. The dichotomy of online marketing is the push to differentiate yourself while simultaneously holding a fear of being seen as different . Through joining a supportive group of other Quiet Messengers that didn’t judge her, she realized that what she had to say — and who she was — was of value to people. She didn’t see any wellness coaches with ADHD, so she made herself her own role model – which led to her first paid coaching client. She created a brilliant niche and discovered her ideal client on a much deeper level and so was finally able to clearly and compellingly connect the threads of her messaging and communicate what she had to say. Now she’s talking about so many things she had never talked about in public before – like this episode where she speaks publicly about her neurodiversity for the first time. She’s learned that taking a stand is not about being super aggressive; it can just be confidently saying something meaningful. Listen in. Sarah and I talk about: Why sharing her own personal stories – like being the child of teenage parents – creates connection points with potential clients The exciting and terrifying transition from behind-the-scenes Virtual Assistant to using her voice as a Messenger Her assumption that being an expert was about sharing facts, when in reality the posts with the most engagement and connection are the personal posts of her life and stories Where templates are helpful and where to yield to the power of being in relationship A call for embracing neurodiversity — and why the world is a better place when we have all types of brains, perspectives, and folks who view the world in different ways How she’s reclaiming and owning the word “misfit” Deeper support from me: What’s your Messenger Archetype?
