Sweat and Resilience: Balancing Chronic Migraine with Fitness Goals 35:02

3 days ago35:02

35:02

The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

It's an interesting time to run conventions and conferences, so it seemed worth it for Melissa and Taekia to talk about coronavirus/COVID-19 and all of the ways one has to think about event planning in a pandemic.

16. "Uncertain" Doesn’t Even Look Like A Word Anymore 36:26

5 years ago36:26

36:26

In this week’s podcast, Melissa and Taekia admit that it’s kind of hard to talk about mistakes when the world is on fire. So instead, they talk about tips for managing uncertainty! These are tips and tricks that expand beyond the current crises and are tools for personal and professional stability during times of change and uncertainty. We look at the importance of a network of peers (3:29), our human ability to adjust to shifting circumstances (9:42), and sustaining your vision for the future (22:20). And it can be hard to pick out just one mistake in the news these days, but because we’re event planners, we briefly discuss Trump’s Tulsa rally (28:46). If you listened and enjoyed, support us on Patreon ! You can follow us on Twitter , Instagram , and Facebook to tell us about your new mistakes!

In today's episode, we are joined by Robyn Warren, founder of Geek Girl Strong and host of the new Mischief Media podcast Healthy Geek Academy ! Robyn talks about starting her very own business and her background in education (3:24-7:25). She delves deeper into just how Geek Girl Strong functions at the crossroads of fandom and wellness and talks about having to move her operations online (7:26). We ask Robyn about her own mistakes in business and then, as a group, discuss figuring out when to say no (16:03-20:58) In mistakes in the news (22:03), we discuss Shake Shack's (brilliant? awful? tactical?) move to first obtain and then give back $10 million of the SBA PPP. ( https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/20/838439215/shake-shack-returns-10-million-loan-to-u-s-program-for-small-businesses ) And lastly, mistakes we made this week (34:24) and self-care tips (36:58) both involve discussions about baking bread.

Being a small business owner during this time is a total rollercoaster right now.

Melissa and Taekia also take you through every step of the winding and laborious process of applying for the Paycheck Protection Program (00:13:55). The back and forth with the accountant, banker, and each other was totally constant until we got it submitted.…

9: Insert Motivational Motto Here 31:57

6 years ago31:57

31:57

This week, Melissa and Taekia find their well of motivation for getting through the raggedy end of the year. A lot of our motivation comes from the amazing staff at Mischief. At this point in the year, we have to think about how to do work we really want to get done without being interrupted by all the other tasks that come up as a boss. For Mistakes in the News, we pondered Facebook’s decision to take away fact-checking from political ads . For our mistakes of the week, Melissa talks about not making assumptions, and Taekia got bogged down in an over-complicated email situation. For our self-care go-tos of the week, Melissa is a zen master and Taekia has a new method for how to stop a bathtub from draining prematurely. Here’s the video of La Vie Bohème at LeakyCon Portland in 2013, which was supposed to be a joke but then it actually happened. This episode is sponsored by the Book Riot Podcast . We’re huge fans of the Book Riot website as well for all of your book news. Finally, please send us your advice (newmistakespod@gmail.com) about how to keep your motivation going! We’ll feature them in a mailbag episode. Follow us on Twitter , Instagram , and Facebook to tell us about your new mistakes! We’re actively looking for new questions, so please send us anything you’ve been wondering about to newmistakespod@gmail.com .

8: This Episode is a Mistake 48:23

6 years ago48:23

48:23

In an effort to reckon with this week’s topic of imposter syndrome, we present to you our UNEDITED audio of our recording. Anything could happen! We’ve got plenty of stories about how it feels to doubt yourself, even if you have proven to yourself that you can do all the things (00:02:18). Imposter syndrome is a downer, but we point out how unfounded it can be. For our mistakes of the week, Melissa and Taekia are both thinking about how to get their arms around constantly shifting projects (00:42:41).…

Get ready for some singing and a hardcore lesson on how to act. Melissa asks Taekia to teach her how to keep her emotions in check, when it’s necessary. There are times when it behooves you not to cry out loud. Melissa and Taekia consider why it’s important to pay attention to what kind of people you’re dealing with. Also, we finally explain the ducks and the quacking! As usual, we run through Mistakes in the News, our mistakes of the week, and self-care go-tos.…

6 years ago57:10

57:10

This week, on Make New Mistakes, we welcome our first guest into our little corner office: Amanda McLoughlin, business and digital media extraordinaire. We’ve known Amanda since the beginning of LeakyCon, so we all spend some time talking about building our small businesses out of early Internet communities. For our question of the week, we focus on when it’s time to cut off a business relationship, specifically with bros of a certain type. For Mistakes in the News, Melissa and Taekia talk through that unfortunate Microsoft leak . Finally, all of us give our self care go-tos of this week. Amanda McLoughlin is the creator and CEO of Multitude, an independent podcast collective, consultancy, and production studio in NYC. You can find Amanda on her website, amandamcloughlin.com , and on Twitter to find out more about her work on the podcasts Join the Party , Spirits , and Waystation .

4: Don't Read the Comments 33:50

6 years ago33:50

33:50

This week, on Make New Mistakes, we issue a strong directive: for the sake of your sanity, don’t read the comments. Melissa and Taekia discuss what it’s like to provide a big service to so many people, and see your customers process it publicly on social media. We do know, however, that you will read the comments. We have strategies for wading through the deluge of comments, and how to integrate them, respond to them, or ignore them. For Mistakes in the News, we see how New Coke relates to our conventions, and a ridiculous medical mistake . Finally, we just came back from Con of Thrones so we have some fun on-site mistakes to report, and we’re getting our self care back on track. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram tell us about your new mistakes! Also, check out our website for links to Mistakes in the News. We’re actively looking for new questions, so please send us anything you’ve been wondering about to newmistakespod@gmail.com.…

This week, on Make New Mistakes, we ponder the question: what happens when everyone can see your mistake? Event planning has made us experts in public mistakes. Want to learn more about audience psychology? We have mistakes that we made and learned from and bring that knowledge to you. For Mistakes in the News, we talk about what large piles of money do and don’t mean for a business’s success. Finally, we tell you about our most recent mistakes and our self-care go-tos. Visit our site (newimstakes.mischiefmedia.com) for Taekia's playlist. Follow us at "newmistakespod" everywhere and tell us about your new mistakes!
