Ep. 89 - The Importance of Self-Expression Through Creativity and The Lifeline It Offers
Nov 1100:20:21Tap to summarizeI wholeheartedly believe we are all creative beings, just in different ways. Some people paint, some write, some design gardens, and some design buildings. Creativity is what helps us fully express ourselves, all with some serious side benefits like reducing stress and anxiety. Yes, please. Today, I’m sharing my own story of how I “found” my creativity, what it’s done for me, and what it can do for you. Expressing ourselves through our creativity will never be time or effort wasted, I promise you. SHOW NOTES:Episode 1 of the podcast where I give a recap of how I got “here”.Episode 61 where I talk about feeling unsupported, which you may resonate with if you are pursuing a creative endeavor ******Follow Hallie on socials:IG @theawedlife and @hallie_sawyerThreads: @Hallie_SawyerTikTok: @theAWEdLife Podcast to follow - Dear Nina, Conversations About Friendship, with my friend, Nina BadzinWatch all the podcast episodes here: YouTube: @Hallie_Sawyer******Subscribe to my Substack for my monthly newsletter, updates, weekly essays, to support the podcast, or to join our private AWEd AF community.******The AWEd Life podcast is supported by: ION Intelligence of Nature Gut Support: Defend from toxins, support healthy digestion, and boost immune functionFour Sigmatic Coffee- Unlock the power of mushrooms by ordering here and using Hallie10 for a 10% discount PERFECT AMINO™ is composed of pure essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, in a form and ratio that is up to 99% utilized, but without the caloric impact and without breaking a fast.

Ep. 87 - Kindness As Our Superpower
Oct 2800:20:38Tap to summarizeLately, I’ve been thinking about how I show up for people and if I’m doing it enough. Maya Angelou said it best…”'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”And I can’t help think that if we focused a bit more on how we can positively impact others, through acts of kindness, encouraging words, thoughtful gifts, etc., then we’re going to be leaving this world better than we found it. Today, I’m reflecting on my own actions and if I’m doing enough as well as how it’s being received. I’d appreciate your listen and sharing it with someone you care deeply about! ******Follow Hallie on socials:IG @theawedlife and @hallie_sawyerThreads: @Hallie_SawyerTikTok: @theAWEdLife Podcast to follow - The OCD Confessional with my friend, Alicia Hill and her co-host Liam MartinWatch all the podcast episodes here: YouTube: @Hallie_Sawyer******Subscribe to my Substack for my weekly newsletter, podcast updates, weekly posts, to support the podcast, or to join our private AWEd AF community.******The AWEd Life podcast is supported by: ION Intelligence of Nature Gut Support: Defend from toxins, support healthy digestion, and boost immune functionFour Sigmatic Coffee- Unlock the power of mushrooms by ordering here and using Hallie10 for a 10% discount PERFECT AMINO™ is composed of pure essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein, in a form and ratio that is up to 99% utilized, but without the caloric impact and without breaking a fast.

Ep. 86 - From Hell and Back to Around the World and Back with Kate Moon
Oct 2101:01:56Tap to summarizeMy guest today is Kate Moon, yoga teacher, mentor, and retreat leader, whom I met last spring at a women’s retreat at Sansara Resort in Panama. Kate was the retreat liaison for guests while we were there and I instantly knew Kate was someone I wanted to get to know more. I kept in touch with her via DM’s on Instagram and once I learned more about her life story, I knew I had to bring her to your attention. As the title says, Kate has been to hell and back but now takes her clients around the world and back on her amazing retreats. I can’t wait for you to listen to her incredible story and hope you find her as AWEd as I do.
