In Praise of The Auntie Life
<p>We say "it takes a village" to be a caregiver, but we often don't give the praise to who <em>actually</em> makes up that group. As a mom, building a community that sees you in your many roles and helps lift the burdens is life-giving. </p> <p>Aunties - friends, blood relatives, it doesn't matter - are often the unsung heroes of making motherhood work. In this episode, Claire Gould - founder of GetClarified and the most intentional auntie we know - discusses how she has chosen the auntie life and the intentional choices that support her life and the lives of so many around her. This conversation is a treasure trove of insight, wisdom, laughs, and a bunch of resources to learn more about how we can build a collective community that lifts everyone up.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Show Notes</strong></p> <p class="" data-pm-slice="1 3 []"><strong>More about Claire Gould & show mentions:</strong></p> <ul data-rte-list="default"> <li> <p class="">Connect with <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/getclairefied" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Claire on Instagram</a></p> </li> <li> <p class="">Incredible humans mentioned in this episode (with links) include:</p> <ul data-rte-list="default"> <li> <p class="">Tash Haynes: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/itstashhaynes" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Instagram</a> and <a href= "https://www.itstashhaynes.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">website</a></p> </li> <li> <p class="">Monique Melton: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/moemotivate" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Instagram</a> and <a href= "https://www.shinebrightschool.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Shine Bright School</a></p> </li> <li> <p class="">Rachel Cargle: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/rachel.cargle" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Rachel’s Instagram</a>, <a href= "https://thelovelandfoundation.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">The Loveland Foundation</a>, <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/richauntiesupreme" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">@richauntiesupreme</a>, and book <a href= "https://www.elizabethsofakronshop.com/renaissance-2023" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">A RENAISSANCE OF OUR OWN</a></p> </li> <li> <p class="">Chrissy King: Instagram, <a href= "https://chrissyking.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">website</a>, and book <a href= "https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-body-liberation-project-how-understanding-racism-and-diet-culture-helps-cultivate-joy-and-build-collective-freedom-chrissy-king/18576723?ean=9780593187043" target="_blank" rel="noopener">THE BODY LIBERATION PROJECT</a></p> </li> <li> <p class="">Ruby Warrington: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/rubywarrington" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Instagram</a> and book <a href= "https://bookshop.org/p/books/women-without-kids-the-revolutionary-rise-of-an-unsung-sisterhood-ruby-warrington/18423276?ean=9781683649274" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WOMEN WITHOUT KIDS</a></p> </li> <li> <p class="">Alok Vaid-Menon: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/alokvmenon" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Instagram</a> and book <a href= "https://bookshop.org/p/books/beyond-the-gender-binary-alok-vaid-menon/13059384?ean=9780593094655" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BEYOND THE GENDER BINARY</a></p> </li> <li> <p class="">JustUS Podcast: <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/justus/id1650278843" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Apple podcast</a>, <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/justus_pod" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Instagram</a>, hosted by <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/politicsandfshn" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Tashira Halyard</a> and <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/margo.lindauer" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Margo Lindauer</a></p> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p class=""><strong>About Amy Kugler:</strong></p> <ul data-rte-list="default"> <li> <p class="">Check out <a href= "https://www.notion.so/The-Daily-7105b182bbe04ef8a27e5848bad7459d?pvs=21"> Amy's website</a> and <a href= "https://www.notion.so/Bookshop-com-account-687b5fd4b91a4c4b98ef442debe18aa0?pvs=21"> writing</a>.</p> </li> <li> <p class=""><a href= "https://www.notion.so/AmyLizKugler-048b130c30ce49b584d41613d19347f8?pvs=21"> Sign up for Unscripted</a>, Amy’s bi-monthly newsletter.</p> </li> </ul> <p class=""><strong>About the Show:</strong> BEAM Stories is a production of <a href= "https://www.notion.so/The-Daily-7105b182bbe04ef8a27e5848bad7459d?pvs=21">BEAM</a>, a venture dedicated to amplifying the untold stories of motherhood and building public/private/advocacy partnerships to shift policy for moms nationally and globally.</p> <ul data-rte-list="default"> <li> <p class="">For more information about BEAM, visit <a href= "https://www.notion.so/Bookshop-com-account-687b5fd4b91a4c4b98ef442debe18aa0?pvs=21"> welcometobeam.com</a>.</p> </li> <li> <p class="">Share your own perspective on <a href= "https://www.welcometobeam.com/share-your-story">BEAM’s website</a>.</p> </li> </ul>

Guiding a New Generation of Leaders
<p>Where do we get the language for our goals and what we value? For most of us, defining our values was often billed as a team-building exercise, stuck in the middle of a corporate retreat. Today's guest argues that we need to have those leadership development conversations sooner, that they can be woven in the fabric of our discussions at home and in elementary school. </p> <p>As a certified master coach, Stacy Harris is passionate about helping anyone discover their values and purpose to make a lasting impact. As a mom and caregiver, she's exceptionally good at working with young adults to determine the values underlying behavior and coaching them to embody, explore, and uncover more about themselves in the process.</p> <p class="p1">More about Stacy Harris:</p> <ul> <li class="p1">For more values exploration, visit <a href= "https://www.myyearahead.com/BEAM">www.myyearahead.com/BEAM</a>. </li> <li class="p1">Connect with Stacy on <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacyharrisnw/">LinkedIn</a></li> </ul> <p class="p1">Keep in touch with BEAM and Amy Kugler:</p> <ul> <li class="p1">Follow BEAM on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/beam4moms">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/beam4moms">LinkedIn</a></li> <li class="p1">Follow Amy on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/amylizkugler">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amykugler/">LinkedIn</a></li> <li class="p1">Sign up for <a href= "https://beamstories.substack.com/">BEAM Stories</a> for a free subscription</li> </ul> <p class="p1">Produced by <a href= "https://www.welcometobeam.com/">BEAM</a> as part of the BEAM Media Network.</p>
