#197 Co-Creating, Body-Doubling & Not Holding Your Work Alone

Dec 16

At the beginning of the year, I went on sabbatical.

I drastically scaled back business expenses and said yes to a role as coach to a mentor's community to fund living costs, fill my desire to be part of a team and release the pressure to make money through my business.

And free me up to explore ways to do things differently.

One intuitive nudge that stuck in my head (for months) was bringing on a co-host for a season.

I LOVE solo episodes, but my neurodivergent brain can make it challenging to activate to map out episodes with any consistency. Yet as a major introvert, interviewing a new person each time feels even harder.

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, dear friend, former client, ADHD Money Coach and my energetic, big-hearted partner for this season of Quiet Messenger. (So many good conversations coming!)

AND enter the topic for episode 197: Co-Creating, Body-Doubling & Not Holding Your Work Alone.

We 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

Because who says we have to follow the standard business formula that says we each have to build our own thing?
