Curiously Guided Podcast

Welcome to the Curiously Guided Podcast, the show for intentional business owners and curious minds looking to combine the inner work and outer work to create a life, business, and career that feels deeply fulfilling & wildly aligned, on ALL levels. Hosted by SEO Strategist, Mariah Magazine & Sales Strategist, Shay Schindler, your two go-to girls for rewriting the rules to success, life, and business in a way that combines strategy with energetics; the inner & outer work, the doing & the being. This podcast started with both of us being in the online business world, craving more deep, meaningful & transparent conversations, so we decided to come together and create a space to do just that. Our guest interviews highlight cool humans doing cool shit, chasing their dreams, and going down their own rabbit holes to create a more sustainable and fulfilling life, in whatever way that means for them. We see this podcast as everything that people won’t share on social media. We don’t give AF about the highlight reels and “proven frameworks”. We love getting in the weeds, asking the tough questions, and doing the work to create a life & career we love, while committing to ourselves & our personal growth. Because only through that lens can we truly create a lifestyle that feels good from the inside out. Welcome to the Curiously Guided Podcast… Are you ready to trust the nudge & let curiosity guide the way? Because we’re excited to shake shit up & live outside the box with you.

If you’re out here saying the SAME things as everyone else, in the same way, you’re doing yourself, your clients & your business a disservice.
The idea of “not watering down your message” has been a topic of discussion between Shay & I for a few years, and we finally found the PERFECT human to have this conversation with…
Sara from BTL Copywriting is an AMAZING example of what can happen when you allow yourself to show up as YOU in your business; creating content becomes easier, connecting with your clients becomes easier, and marketing, in general, becomes easier.
This convo is filled with so many golden nuggets of wisdom & inspiration, with some ridiculous stories, examples, and laughs along the way.
We hope you enjoy! ☺️
IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE:
➡️ Sara’s perspective on always having to share her “origin story” 
➡️ Tapping into yourself for content ideas 
➡️ Thinking about “brand voice” differently when you’re a freelancer or solopreneur 
➡️ The difference between growing a business & growing a social media follower count
➡️ Which types of businesses have more trouble using AI for content creation
➡️ Tips for improving confidence in yourself & your message

This episode is filled with stories, examples, fresh perspectives, and raw vulnerability.
We hope you enjoy!

Wondering how you can start using Human Design for business? THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU!
For both me & Shay, Human Design has completely changed the way we make decisions, how we interact with each other and the people around us, AND how we approach our careers & business.
We wanted to bring our guest, Adriana, on the podcast because we LOVE how practical & approachable she makes Human Design, especially in a business sense.
Because at the end of the day, if you want to get the most JUICE out of Human Design, in life or business, you have to stop focusing on *just* the learning of it, and instead start leaning deeper into the INTEGRATION of it.
During this convo, we dive into so many different aspects of Human Design, including decision-making, what to pay attention to, what questions to ask yourself, how to apply things in a practical way, and so much more…
We hope you enjoy! ☺️
In this episode, we explore:
➡️ Adriana’s journey of finding & using Human Design 
➡️ Human Design vs. other systems (astrology, enneagram, etc)
➡️ What’s your Authority in HD & what does it mean?
➡️ What’s your Strategy in HD & how can you use it? 
➡️ Using HD to make more aligned decisions in business (and life)
➡️ Using HD in relationships 
➡️ Deconditioning and what that means 
➡️ Ways to self-reflect and explore your subconscious 
➡️ Using your profile lines to help steer your business & marketing
