Episode 6 Talking Self Care with Lily Nicholson.mp3

Alison Swerdloff: Welcome back to another episode of The Oxygen Mask Effect. Today I am joined by Lily Nava-Nicholson, who is an intuitive life and success coach, author, book writing coach, branding strategist and visual artist. She has spent decades as a paralegal and visual artist, which are, of course polar opposites, before venturing into the wilds of nonfiction writing, intuitive life and success business coaching, branding strategies and intuitive art readings. She is an author of her first book, the Rediscover Your Magic, how to energetically align your path and calling to bring your ideas to life. And I'm looking to find out more about that in a future episode. But for today, Lily, thank you so much for joining me.

Lily Nicholson: Thank you for having me, Allison.

Alison: And we've had a chance to speak previously. And I know, there's so much more to you than this. But I have a question about self care, since it goes along with what the oxygen mask effect is. Now, what is one tip you would like to give to entrepreneurial women about adding self care into their busy lives?

Lily: Absolutely. Great question for me, Alison. Thank you. Um, you know, with me, Alison, everything's about energetic alignment in my coaching practice and in life. And really, in any situation, you find yourself. I can tell you what I do for myself, and what I tell my clients, energetically align yourself is part of self care. And the way you can do that is in you, this is speaking to new entrepreneurs, I believe. So what I do is set up my environment for success and relaxation. And it would invoke a feeling of grounding, even while you're working as a new entrepreneur. Like for instance, and I talk about this in my book where you can pull in colors of gemstones, essential oils, lighting, you know, scarves of different colors. On Amazon, you can get these beautiful scarves that you can just put on the window and kind of accent. It's really just pulling in things to create a beautiful space for yourself to live, work and play in. Because I saw I know for myself, I have my own office. It's an extra bedroom in our home. And that's what I do. I've pulled all this I've pulled all the stops in here. And I love being up here. I mean, my husband has to come and come and kidnap me out of here. I don't want to leave. It's just I feel so good in here. So hopefully that answers that question.

Alison: It does. Now I see some of the other things you have in your background. You have a salt lamp, I see.

Lily: Yes, yes, I have a Himalayan salt lamp. I have my lucky bamboo. I have gemstones. And a lot of the things on my channel I'll put my abundance little table there. It's things that were gifted to me. Stones, carvings, and you can't see it. But on my window, I have little unicorns, Amethyst stones, and I've just kind of surrounded myself, some of my art is up there. My beautiful mermaids up there. It's just I make it my, I put it this way, for any on any female entrepreneur, make it your happy space because one you're living in it. And this is the place from where you project your expertise, where you're helping your clients. You're bringing them into this space. So you've really got it you know, it's really kind of loving on them. You're really loving on them when you're empowering this to them. So that's what I tell my clients and whenever I want what I want from me, I want for them.

That's wonderful. And it's true, you have to have a space that you feel comfortable in. And that allows you to move, to grow and progress.

Alison: Thank you for that. Very different than some of the other comments I've received. So it's wonderful to hear that. Now, for anybody listening, if they wanted to reach out to you, how would they do so?

Lily: The best place is my website, and that would be the pathfindercode.com. And just put that www in front of it and you will get a hold of me.

Alison: Awesome. Thank you again for joining me and for anyone listening. Stay tuned, keep an eye out because Lily's full interview will be popping up on this, on my podcasts very, very soon.
