Power Purls Podcast - Conversations With Savvy Knitwear Designers And Everyday Knitters With Compelling Back Stories

Today I'm chatting with Tammie Carpenter Bennett, mindset coach and Host of The Show Up Society Podcast. Tammie shares her years of wisdom from owning  a stationery business and coaching runners for over 13 years to remove the blocks that are keeping them stuck so they can achieve their goals with confidence.  Tammie is all about habits … she walks the walk by keeping one tiny, daily habit going strong for over 10 years. And she teaches others how to create and keep a tiny daily habit to reach their own goals, so they can stop procrastinating, and make quick decisions  so they can get back to creating! Episode highlights: How podcasting helps Tammie to create an even bigger impact Why she believes podcasting stands apart from other digital platformsThe secret sauce that keeps her goingWhat she does to spice things up if the podcast starts to feel stale How she uses a podcast to educate her clientsWe close with the question I ask all of my quests: "If you could state in ONE word how you podcast with

Something emanated overnight which is now the material manifestation of today’s podcast episode.  I literally had to run from the bed to the mic to capture what you’re about to hear … and it all just flowed from the divine. It’s about a new workshop - and seriously it's the BEST shit that's come out of me to date. It's what you need, what you want, and it's the reason you are a podcaster, and it's how you create something divine in this world that someone can consume, and walk away from as a different person. This is not a huge giant thing I'm talking about. It's attainable and ez AF, and I want this for you if you’re on the sidelines right now.Let's create a podcast that the world needs and is waiting for. If you’re sick and tired of hanging out in the shadows, this is your TIME because THIS is what you signed up for: You are a coachYou are someone who is a guide, a steward, a benefactorI signed up for this over 8 years ago, and I had no idea it would take me to this p

Lot's of people want the HOW TO podcast stuff, and that's super-simple, because I can teach you that in 20 minutes. The collection of things- the mic, the software, the show notes pages. What actually matters is your compelling reason for wanting to do it. That's when it gets to be fun ... when you relax. Take a chill pill. That's when you see things grow. The podcast is a vehicle where ideas can be shared in an intimate way and communicate in a way that build trust, share your gift of gab and influence those you want to reach, who need your message. So the podcast is just that. The vehicle. When you water the garden, your plants grow, but those plants take time. Your podcast is the same. Rushing doesn't EVER work, and never produces what you truly desire. Pushing and wanting and wishing only creates more agony, and stifles growth.It's like you sending out a vibe to the universe that says ... "I'm tight, I'm closed, so ... no thanks, I don't want abundance ove

Let’s cut right to the chase …You want to create a podcast that will grow. These are the 3 things you must do: Be a guest on other podcasts Have guests on your podcast Be the one who COMMITSSounds simple, right? But I find that many are unwilling to be the person who does these and then they wonder why they don’t grow. If you are willing to be committed AF, listeners will flock to you crazy AF. And #3 is the rocket fuel that will carry you because just this ONE thing will help you grow because you’re here for the long game NO MATTER how long it takes. That’s what it means to be the uncommon person who commits and creates creates PREDICTABILITY in their business.If you took these 3 things to heart and became that uncommon person, that you know you already are, how would that change how you show up as a Podcaster?You already know that just a 1% tweak is all you need to be that person who goes all-in … who burns the boats because they are headed to the other shore. So here’s your choice:Option 1: Be the one who

What is the goal for living this precious human life?In my opinion, it distills down to 3 things:Connection, giving and service.This is the most important conversation because life is like a flash of lightning even if we live over 100 years. Human life is quick.Why did you decide to become a coach, start an online business, and consider the idea of starting a podcast?When your desire to connect and create RELATIONSHIPS is GREATER than your fear of looking silly, clunky or messy ... then you found the secret sauce to podcasting. When you connect from a place that makes you come alive, it makes everything else electric. The lines between life and business become blurred, and that's the gift that this powerful medium of connection can create for you.Are you ready to create some electricity?

If you’re making it hard to stay consistent, then today’s episode is for you! I’m teaching you in this short and sweet minisode how to get a little scrappy, practice integration, while staying consistent to your commitment to podcasting. This episode is for you if …You keep pushing yourself to batch a bunch of episodes, but you keep letting yourself down, then the shame kicks inYou can’t finish what you say you’ll doPodcasting feels hard and like a choreThis episode is an example of how I get scrappy - I was falling behind this week, and when this happens I ask myself a simple series of questions:What’s happening right now? Is this something I can share to make an impact even if it seems mundane and silly?How can I make this ridiculously easy and doable?What can I do to get scrappy, practice integration with things in my daily life (ie: gardening, shuffling the kids to baseball practice, and recording your podcast … heck, I’ve recorded a quickie episode in the car while my son was practicing. Ya do what ya go

 What's EASY IS working hard on your dream AND resting so you can allow space for the universe to bring in the abundance that's waiting.It’s a YES/AND situation. Yes, I can do what's easy AND I can work as hard AF on your dream too. WHERE is it written that business ... that if you do A you get B? What if you do A your way ... then B finds it's way to you in the way that fits your own unique life, and NOT in the way you expect?Where can you find the middle path? Meaning, how can you take in advice with a grain of salt, then OWN your wisdom. How can you cultivate not knowing and be TOTALLY OK with it? AND ... be ecstatic about the truth that you have a live-in advisor that is so freaking wise — YOU.No one can know what's right for you but you and until you embrace this truth you will constantly seek external validation which never gives you the results you actually want.== I’m hosting a LIVE Workshop Series: Magnify Your Message: Jumpstart a Podcast in 3 Easy Steps, especially created

I hated the word "mid-life woman" I would secretly think I'm not like them ... I've never had problems hot flashes, weight gain ... I mean geez ... I beat obesity when I was a teenager. My lifestyle is simply impeccable, but … I had a wake up call that I want to share with you in this episode. Since B.C. (Before COVID) I’ve been in denial ... of my exhaustion, racing mind in the middle of the night ... sleep deprivation ... lack of constant physical energy that has been present over the past few years. I blamed it on building my business. “This is normal,” I would tell myself.  “I’m doing something uncommon … it’s what I signed up for, right?” I knew something was off. It started with brain fog ... feeling isolated, tiredness, exhaustion. I was blaming it on hustle, busy syndrome, and telling myself it’s all in my head ... and I just had to work more on my beliefs. “Stay positive … you got this!” was my mantra. It’s like … wondering why the sink is overflowing, but I didn’t realize I neede

Spontaneity can be your biggest podcasting ally.

I gotta do that IG post."Don't miss out on the magnificence of the moment, and the fleeting gift that spontaneity is giving you.You write the rules of your podcast and your business. Podcasting is still the Wild West and you're the creator of it.Change lives with your words.Don't keep them inside when they are asking to come out.==Are you ready to take your podcast to the next level?

Oprah once said “I will no longer be on TV but I will use it as a force for good and not be used by TV. When Oprah made this shift, it changed everything. How can you take this wisdom and apply it to your podcast? In this episode, learn 3 ways how.One day, not too long ago, I had a big ugly cry, and looking back now, I can't even remember why I was upset. It's so interesting to see how emotions can carry us away, and then dissipate and fly away once they wash through us.  The gift that came out of this big ugly cry were rough notes, which are the basis of this episode. The question Oprah asks herself when disappointment or confusion strikes is: “what is this here to teach me?" Asking this question can be so revealing, because we often discover it's not the "stuff" ... not the static circumstance outside. It's way more subtle actually.  Most of our problems circle back to trying to show us how to practice more patience, more love, more giving, more compassion. Solving inner o

Here's what you're listeners don't want …They don’t want the music.They don’t care about the fancy 30-sec elevator pitch (they will press the fast forward anyway).They will never know what kind of microphone you are using so pick one you like.They don’t wanna know all about your story and your history and all the accolades that you’ve had. Those things are nice and they are good to share but think about your client and where they are right now. They  just wanna know - can you help me with my problem? Yes, do the music, the intro ... all of it, but not at the expense of forgetting what a podcast is really about. Podcasting has given me a successful coaching business where I get to pay forward all of this wisdom, and of course you can have the same. If you were a clairvoyant, and told me back in 2014 that a podcast would give me the success I have today, I’d never believed it. When you detach from the outcome and you no longer NEED it. That’s when you start going somewhere. This shift  can change

Podcasting's job is not to make you money or get you clients.  You might be thinking ... "Since I did not make money yet what's the point of recording if it seems like no one is listening?" Sure, it’s fun but let's get real ... it's not making me money. Why bother?" There's the obstacle thought - Why bother? Which becomes ... "I won't bother."When you say "I want ... I want ... I want," the universe hears this: "I don't have ... I don't have," so what that means is, you get more not having. This is the kiss of death. This is why the statistics for new podcasts show that most give up within the first few months.You can be that uncommon one by changing what you think podcasting success actually means.The actual point of podcasting - fun, experimenting, taking creative risks, and building a body of work.If your idea about podcasting is: "this is a marketing tool," you are missing the point entirely. It's like want

It’s so easy to fall into the place of comfort and complacency with the way we show up in our business and podcast. Sometimes we can’t even see that because the desire to do what’s easy is always running in the background.To zap out of this funk, here’s a great question to ask: “what's my barfy-excited-scares-the-bejesus-out-of-me goal this week?”   Little word of caution ... this does not mean go into the spin cycle by filling a sheet with 50 things to keep you busy.I've done this myself - sitting all day behind a computer thinking working harder will give me what I want.This is so FAR from the truth.If all you do is sit behind a computer mapping out a strategy, that’s not scary. That's just creating more work on your to do list and stress. Here are some examples of what I've done over the years that got me out of my comfort zone:Asking to be a guest on very big, very popular and very visible podcastsRequest to be a keynote speaker in my nichePitching to do an in-person how to podcast cou
