Ep 163: Attractive angry women
51:12
When does our rage feel compelling, not repelling? After Part 3 of the podcast series went live II received messages like this: “Hearing this unlocked something in me…” “You awoke an anger inside of me I’ve been swallowing, and made it feel okay to let it out…” “This was a holy rage and it was exciting, inviting even, to witness, thank you…”
I had been nervous to release that episode, but it turns out the lack of filter was deeply needed. Today we’ll break down 6 elements to consider that increase our chances of being heard and honored when we speak up with passion. And what I realize in hindsight was the recipe to why the Part 3 episode felt so raw yet so safe for you to hear

Ep 161: My Story 3 of 3: It gets worse
01:36:49
I want to say it gets better. In life I’ve really found that to be true. In romantic relationships, homes, friends, employees. But sometimes it gets worse first. How do you know when it’s time to walk away from a dream? From everything you’ve invested, with nothing–less than nothing, far far less than what you started with? You know it when it happens. The final straw. HEADS UP: This is a very raw, salty, cursing, no holding back episode.

Ep 160: My Story 2 of 3: Ignoring red flags to chase a dream
01:20:05
In 2011 I started a business as a stylist. I’d moved to New York City for my career in theater after a Broadway tour, Radio City Rockettes, and all that jazz.
[The below timeline is not covered in the episode and included here for backstory.]
In 2014 a friend who worked at a top publisher told me that my style course, “had to be a book.” She’d told everyone in her office my principles and they were using them daily–women needed this. I told her that sounded like a lot of work for very little money. We were both right.
In 2016 I began writing the book in fits and starts, always “let’s just get through one more launch, just a little more income so we aren’t burned out and *then* I’ll write the book.”
By 2020 I decided *then* was never going to come. I had to take the leap. I hired a book coach and in 2021 they introduced me to a top agent. My book went to auction and my dream was coming true.
For a year I absolutely adored the writing process (which most authors bemoan) yet was traumatized by the publishing process (which I had never heard anyone mention–as explained in the episode now I know why.)
Worse, it almost cost me everything.
This is part 2 of 3 in sharing that story. Please begin with last week’s Part 1: Silent vs Silenced.
This is a story of creative and financial heartbreak, shared to protect others from it.
It’s the episodes I have wish I had heard from just one person, to have any idea what I was risking when I decided 7 years ago that maybe I would in fact like to write a book.

Ep 159: My Story 1 of 3: Silent vs silenced
44:15
For a year I’ve been asked, “What happened to you? What exactly are you grieving about?”
Each time I would reply, “Unfortunately I’m not legally allowed to share right now, but hope to be able to soon.”
Now I’m able to, and as I’ve known I would be all along, I feel terrified.
So we’re starting with that:
As is always my hope: may you feel seen in your story, or better understand others as they share theirs.

Ep 158: You don't have time to rush
40:16
How do you train your body to be more calm in stress?
Today I’m sharing an anchoring phrase that helps me every time I remember to use it, in hopes this conversation will help us all do so more often.
Recorded from a car outside the hospital visiting my brother-in-law, we’ll talk not only big picture gratitude and presence, but practically how we make our lives easier when we build the habit of small mental shifts.

Ep 156: Sympathy vs empathy vs empaths + how to avoid pity
01:19:46
Four weeks ago I’d have told you I’m deeply empathetic.
I still am! But I’ve been humbled as to how much I can declare that in scenarios in which I truly have never walked a similar path.
It’s rare we have “overnight change” moments. When they happen we get a clear vision of a before and after of ourselves.
Today we’ll chat about:

Ep 155: For the caregivers (our brother’s recent paralysis from an accident)
01:36:14
If you love someone who’s walked through illness + injury, this “pour a cup” or “let’s go on a walk” chat is for you.
When I shared the news on Instagram Monday comments and DMs were flooded by the caregivers. I saw a whole demographic that had been there all along, you just hadn’t had a reason to share your story with me.
Today’s episode is for you.
I’m sharing from what I call the First-and-a-half Circle of Grief. The wife of the brother. Close enough to watch the trauma unfold, but aware how far my experience is from that of his parents and siblings who’ve known him every day of his life.
May you feel seen. Love, Hilary

Ep 154: Why I’m ending my most profitable product + how to know when “it’s time” to make a change
01:08:09
Whether ending a relationship, letting go of a home or a side gig, it can be so challenging to know when a long story has run its course.
And it matters BIG TIME! When we’re leaking energy on the wrong thing, we can be missing out on passion and purpose meant for us, in our career or simply in how we live our daily life.
In this episode I guide us back to how we got here, and how we get out with lots of grace, empowerment, and hope.
This is an important episode for any entrepreneur, yet it’s about so much more than business or work.

Ep 146: I’m still grieving + I’d like to be done thanks
01:02:33
Do you have days it feels hard to get out of bed, or you want to climb back in halfway through? That was today for me, and I decided rather than putting on a happier face to talk about what I had planned, I’d just share. From bed, from notes in my Elegant Excellence Journal. Why do we hesitate to be honest we’re “still” not “over” what happened to us? That we may never be? With honesty, hope, humor, and more honesty… Links mentioned in this episode:

The root reason you’re running so fast may surprise you. There’s the first layer fears. Once I dealt with those… I found a second layer, deeper reasons I didn’t even realize were there. Then I saw a friend go through the same phases, then students inside my Healing Burnout course started to report the same.

I have a vision for our new year, friend. One that is softer, more beautiful, yet has more easy strength than we’ve known. In today’s episode I break down how I arrived at a new season of inner confidence, and how that’s different from outer confidence. We’ll talk about how to think about losses without minimizing them, what it means to feel like a situation broke you or didn’t break you, and importantly how to look a little longer-term when choosing what to prioritize and celebrate in our lives. This episode will feel like a warm cup of tea on a cozy couch. ****

28:46
What should you rely on more when it comes to big choices? How often do we actually make a wrong decision? Which advice that we’re given is sound, and which might we question? Gain wisdom through the final in this 3-part series on making better decisions with more confidence and clarity. As I say at the end, “I’m working on and growing in having more peace with complicated choices, feeling less anxious about them, living with them more, accepting them, finding the silver linings and the hope that I can’t absolutely know for sure that it won’t be great either way, that the tough spots won’t get better, and from that place of hope and trust, it makes it a lot easier to take leaps and look for the best along the way, which tends to mean we’ll find it.” Links in this episode:

We are promised oodles of quick fix solutions. This one is free, easy, small, but deeply powerful for me. My greatest desire is that more of us would feel more at peace and at home in ourselves.

Ep 122: Is this laziness your character or your circumstance?
20:08
In a culture permeated with so much productivity guilt, hustle narrative, so many options, ideas, and opportunities… My constant undercurrent is to feel guilty that I’m perhaps not working hard enough. I loathe that this is true! Because I know it’s zero percent helpful, and only harmful. And on paper I know the facts: I’ve built a successful business and been running it for 11 years. I’m the only boss I’m accountable to, so clearly if I was really lazy I wouldn’t have made it this far. And yet… this has always been my story, so I’ve been working on that mindset bigtime the last year or so in particular, and I just had a new breakthrough that I think will help you, too.

Ep 109: Elegant Excellence Leadership (negative comments, cancel culture + gossip)
01:18:43
A self-help author recently made some problematic posts, and my thoughts on the controversy was the most requested topic this week. In full disclosure: in this episode I neither mention her name, nor analyze her posts. This conversation isn’t about her as I’m far less interested in the missteps of individuals than the bigger picture of how we want to act and react ourselves in and around these situations. What does it look like to lead and love, with elegance and excellence? There are big questions in this episode. In the years, months, even weeks that follow, I reserve the right to change or expand or shift my thoughts on them! That’s the nature of complex conversations. They don’t have easy answers. Which opens them up for allll the criticism and critique. So today’s talk comes with a caveat: If at any point you feel yourself getting defensive, pause and walk away. (When we get hot, we can no longer hear with love, and thus respond from love. Who might get hot? Oh Christians, non religious, conservatives, activists -- I’ve got enough experience under my belt to know 1 in 1,000 will get triggered no matter what I say or how carefully I try to say it. And we speak to that in and of itself today.) This conversation is about how we love ourselves and others well. I invite you to be curious alongside me today, explore our own heads and hearts before anyone else’s, and consider how we can truly make the world a kinder place for all.

Ep 106: Enough: Why we never feel it in our time, productivity + success (part 1 of 3)
39:12
Am I doing enough? What will be enough? At what point can I rest without feeling guilty I should be doing more? I keep noticing this word in your questions, or the subtext beneath them. I feel it too. I ask it too. I chase it too. When we haven’t found the answer, it’s because the question is complex. Which means exploring multiple angles, peeling back layers, going deeper.

I shared on Instagram to a flood of comments, shares, private messages and realized this topic had struck a chord.

Ep 83: 5 Roadblocks to Your Dreams + How to Overcome Them
23:43
I’ve identified five elements of our personality that trip us up in dreaming gracefully, spaciously, authentically. Which of these descriptions sounds most like you? When you think about why you aren’t today, living out a dream, on top of the world in LOVE with your life, is it MORE because you’re: THE STATS DREAMER. Uncomfortable saying WHAT we want, unless we understand HOW we can make that happen, how it’s realistic. THE SIDEKICK DREAMER. Uncomfortable saying that we want more, want big things, so we play small, make our dreams only about making other people happy. THE SUPERSIZE DREAMER. So many dreams we’re trying to pursue all at once. We don’t want to have to give up anything, so often end up getting even less because of it. THE SPLIT DREAMER. Two dreams in conflict. In our mind they’re headed in totally different directions, and we’re paralyzed with indecision and fear of missing out. THE SLOTHFUL DREAMER. We don’t even do the work to figure out what our dreams are, or if we do we don’t take the actions, risk, put in the work to move them forward. |

What is in between laziness and productivity? This is the question I’ve been pondering myself during quarantine. And in some ways the core of a more sustainable lifestyle of rest I’ve been cultivating since a sabbatical in 2016.

Ep 76: Embracing life changes gracefully, pandemic and all
55:07
In this season of seemingly zero control over our pandemic-ed lives, what can we learn about living with change? What can we take into the next season? This encore presentation of episode 7 includes tools that have helped me in this whiplash of a crisis and encourage me for the future. =========== Are you ready to be the CEO of your life? To accept change with more peace and courage? Many of us resist change because often we feel these choices are not our own. You get laid off work. Your relationship is failing. Your best friend is moving out of state. It’s powerful to remember that even when you don’t make a choice, or get to fully make it, we have so much control over our head, heart and soul to CHOOSE for it to be a yes, a blessing, a gift.

Ep 71: Who are you called to? For authors, in friendship, on social media…
49:08

“My girlfriends have been complaining about weight gain during quarantine. I think they look great! But it makes me so uncomfortable because I’m a larger size than any of them.

Ep 66: Passion Stacking (how can I possibly make a difference in racial equity as a white person?)
01:01:54
I asked on IG Stories how you’re feeling amidst our global conversation on racism and racial equity. The most common answers were:
Everything I read, the heart was empathetic and compassionate. Wanting to help, support, and love. And, struggling with not being full-time activists, yet also having woken up. Unsure how to balance your life, for many entrepreneurs your business, along with not wanting to “move on”. This is what I’ve been wrestling with myself. Authenticity is very important to me. Staying focused on a topic because it’s trendy or there’s pressure, is not the same as a true heart shift. We show heart shifts, when weeks, months and years from now, we show true life shifts. In this episode I share principles I’m using to be an ally authentically and sustainably.
I am not an expert, I’m simply sharing my own earnest journey feeling compelled to do more. Imperfectly, I’m sure. Stumbling over my words, I’m sure. Yet with great empathy and holding space for how many different phases we’re in in this community. Links mentioned:

Ep 64: Rethinking Friendship
01:02:09
Do you reach out to friends more than they reach out to you? Do you think most people probably have more social plans (pre-coronavirus) than you do? Who are we reaching out to more/less these days and why? I gathered these Q’s into a series of surveys on IG Stories and put the insights into today's episode. Our hearts crave more connection. We’re all yearning to hear from one another more. So why are we all letting one another down? Episodes mentioned to re-listen on related topics:

Ep 63: 7 Q’s to regroup on your 2020 plans
58:39
We had big beautiful visions for our 2020 on January 1. A new decade, a new season. We’d just launched the Elegant Excellence Goals Journal. Then before Q1 was even over they had completely changed with a global pandemic. We don’t know when it will be over, what normal looks or feels like, which freedom and choice we do or don’t have. Making plans feels exhausting. Without them we’re aimless, disorganized, unfulfilled. Yet trying to make them, comes with overwhelm about where to begin, what’s certain, what can we guarantee? Do you reschedule your wedding, renew your lease in this city, start the business? Today I’m sharing 7 Q’s that have helped me to navigate:
_____ Want more help? Get one of the few post-dated Elegant Excellence Journals available. Hop on the wait-list for my new course for entrepreneurs to hear first. _____ Past episodes mentioned to go deeper on:

Are you enjoying your closet more or less in this season? And why? I asked this question on Instagram and your responses came into 11 areas. Whether positive feelings we want to KEEP after this season, or negative ones where we might have more choice to CHANGE than we realize, I’m breaking them down. So many of my lessons came back to the heart behind my style class, Style & Styleability, that I decided to open it up for podcast listeners.

Ep 58: Productivity Guilt during Quarantine + the Idealization of Time
34:36
I feel I should be getting more done during this time. Sound familiar? I feel I should be more productive, creative, rested. The “should’s” are piling up during this time and rather than simply swatting them away with a “show yourself more grace,” I think we have a powerful opportunity to ask why. What would happen if we did not, in fact, do these things on the “should list”? And deepest of all, have we made time the enemy all these years… only to realize the enemy is actually within ourselves? If we don’t do ____ while we have more time (for those of us who do right now) what does that say about us in the long-run?

30:38
What if you could get out of a horrible mood? Without having to deny or downplay what had you hurt or upset in the first place? The story of 24 hours in my life, and the rainbow tool I discovered that day that helped get me from fearful and depressed, to joyful and optimistic, without simply putting on a happy face.

Ep 28: Stopping the Self-Judgement + Shame Train Inside Your Head
34:25
We’re our hardest critic and sometimes no matter how hard we work, how productive we are, it’s still not good enough. We could have done more. We should have been doing something else. Today we discuss a topic sparked by something said in my Elegant Excellence Mastermind around self judgement. Mom guilt, beauty/weightloss, relationships, or business, many of us go down this shame and guilt spiral. Choosing to change starts internally with our thoughts, then externally with our actions. Here’s a reminder of those tiny shifts we can start doing today:

Ep 26: "Everyone Disappeared". On Friendship in Heartbreak + Grief
36:36
Interviewing 5 friends who had walked through miscarriage, divorce, loss of a child, called off wedding, loss of a parent – it was heartbreaking the theme that emerged. One in which we as friends, panicked. Got awkward. Didn’t know what to do, so we did nothing. Thanks to their stories though, now we know what to do. We’re empowered and emboldened to love well. Everyone said “people disappeared”. No one said “people did it wrong”. So now we know simply to show up. Here’s 6 ways how:
A few of the lovely women I mention: @AshleyKLemieux has a pinned IG Story with the story of losing their children @TheOilyCottage shares about miscarriage + her rainbow baby amidst grief @Jennifer.Kem shared wisdom + brings it throughout her life @LindsayLetters.co + her husband are teaching a masterclass in grief with their daughter’s traumatic brain injury |

Ep 25: Gracefully Navigating Negativity, Haters + Not Being Liked
32:34
We want to be liked. But none of us like everyone one else. So it makes sense we aren’t going to be the exception. Yet most of us still wish we were! This is why it’s so hard to get negative criticism. Today we talked about why haters hate. One thing I’ve discovered is that it’s a defense mechanism because hurt people hurt. It’s a way to make sure people don’t get too close. And they continue to self-sabotage because changing is a whole new discomfort like we talked about in Ep 3: Your #1 Issue and the 3 stages of ish. In this episode I share 7 steps to be less affected by negativity:

Ep 24: I'm Sorry For Judging You
17:28
If I was in your shoes I would do it different, better, “right”. Parenting, miscarriage, wedding planning, divorce, quitting a job, running a business, down to the photo someone posts on Instagram. We all have these thoughts and lately I’ve been thinking: Before I get frustrated with others… how can I do this better myself? I’m owning this very human side and sharing 3 things I’ve been reminding myself whenever I catch myself thinking these judgey thoughts.
What are YOU thinking about these days? Would love to chat about it on a future episode if you’ll leave me a voice memo at HilaryRushford.com/podvip.

Special Bonus Ep: I Owe You An Apology
53:06
In this special bonus episode, I offer an apology. I trusted too swiftly and blindly someone who I brought into my company, and am just now seeing more of the ways it has affected you, as a listener or reader. Moreover, I share what I’ve learned about trusting ourselves and others in relationships. The warning signs of emotional unhealth, both ours and those we’re in relationships with. And I offer a path forward with these lessons I’ve learned and am learning: 1: Trusting people means we could get hurt 2: Don’t let that keep you from hoping in people you can trust 3: We have poorer decision making in trust when we feel weak 4: For female creative entrepreneurs, this can be in technology and finance. 5: We feel especially weak when exhausted; an area has been overwhelming us for awhile 6: We can notice warning signs of lack of trust to protect ourselves including:
7: Focus on ways TO build trust
To continue my apology we are offering two things for August: If you are an entrepreneur, you’ll receive a 4-part series each Monday via email with more BTS stories, lessons and resources that have helped me feel more empowered in Marketing, Finance, Operations, and Leadership. If you’re not a business owner, you’ll receive my 3 Steps to Simplified Style video series and daily style prompts calendar for September. Access both at HilaryRushford.com/podvip by electing if you want to hear about Entrepreneurship, Style or Both. Listening after August 5th?

Ep 11: Your Last + Next 5 Years: Decisions, Desires + Dating Actors
30:06
Who were you 5 years ago? 5 years ago, my husband didn’t even live in New York, the church where we met hadn’t even been created, my anxiety was wild, and I was exhausted with my business burning the candle from both ends. Who will you be 5 years from now? You may know what you want, but have you peeled back the layers to really explore what it would take to get you there? So much can happen in that time and I choose to believe that your life will be so much better than you can imagine. Choose the people and priorities that will get you to that magical life you dream of, and be okay letting go of the rest. There’s way less that matters than we think. And way better awaiting us in five years than we believe. |

Ep 8: 6 Steps to a Lifestyle of Elegant Excellence
52:16
Elegant Excellence is a lifestyle of being extraordinary, without being exhausted. More joy, less overwhelm. It’s that sweet spot between hustle and procrastination. It’s how I’ve been living my life for around 4ish years now and what has repeatedly made friends say, “You’re so different than you were six months ago…” as I’ve become less anxious, less busy, and more anchored in what matters most (while growing my business to be even more successful at the same time).

Ep 7: Embracing Change Gracefully: Jobs, Relationships, + Moving
50:47
Are you ready to be the CEO of your life? To accept change with more peace and courage? Many of us resist change because often we feel these choices are not our own. You get laid off work. Your relationship is failing. Your best friend is moving out of state. It’s powerful to remember that even when you don’t make a choice, or get to fully make it, we have so much control over our head, heart and soul to CHOOSE for it to be a yes, a blessing, a gift.
Which step feels most powerful to you? Come tell me on Instagram @HilaryRushford. PS Have a topic or Q you’d like covered? Leave it at hilaryrushford.com/podvip. |
