the lively show: intuition, failure, & authenticity with whitney english (the day designer)

Today on The Lively Show we are having an in-depth conversation with business consultant and Day Designer founder, Whitney English.

She is an open, vulnerable, and inspiring woman who isn’t afraid to share her journey and the lessons she’s learned along the way.

In this episode, we discuss embracing our intuition, understanding authenticity, and moving forward in the face of failure.

This open and honest conversation is perfect for those interested in becoming more intuitive, overcoming comparison, and dealing with failure (or the fear of it).

I completely adore Whitney how opened she is over her past business failings and the lessons she’s learned. The part I liked the most was when she says her attention now has shifted to helping others and not how she can serve her ego. And Jess, I enjoyed learning more about you:) Great podcast!
Ashley

This was such a great episode and it was really encouraging. I know that I have fear in starting new projects because of failure, but you two were super encouraging and real about the topic.
Georgie Bryant

I haven’t even finished listening to this one yet but had to write you Jess – your comment about not cutting off from joy 40-50 hours a week in your day job gave me a real jolt, so thank you. I’m off to check out the Day Designer and am saving the rest of my podcast for my Monday morning commute tomorrow!
Lauren

Jess, I’ve been loving your podcast since I discovered it a few months ago, and this was my favorite one yet! As a huge Brene Brown fan (totally changed my life), this conversation was real and so authentic. Thanks for these amazing podcasts! PS: have to check out this day planner, but they’re all sold out! Hopefully, I can snag one somewhere online.
Jess Lively

Thank you for sharing your point of view so well, Ash. I appreciate it.

I’m sorry to hear that the religion part wasn’t your cup of tea, but I am proud to include it since it is a big part of Whitney’s life and therefore was brought up in the episode. I don’t intend for this show to ever be exclusively focused on career or career steps, so things like faith or spirituality may come up from time to time when it applies to a particular guest’s life or point of view.

If you are looking for a great podcast that is exclusively focused on career/business action steps I’d suggest checking out The Smart Passive Income podcast and Ask Pat podcast. They have tons of actionable business related content and advice you might really love!
Jess Lively

That is so great to hear, Lauren! Have you read The Gifts of Imperfection yet by Brene? Love it!

Hopefully she can restock the calendars soon!
Jess Lively

My pleasure, Georgie! I am glad that part helped you – I hope the rest of the show proved helpful for you as well! : )
Jess Lively

That is great to hear, Ashley! I’m glad this episode inspired you!
Jess Lively

That’s great to hear, Vana! I’m glad that part Whitney shared resonated with you. : )

Jess & Whitney I love the discussion regarding “being still” and how it is not a call to be lazy, but instead using the resources, talents, strengths, passions and experiences that you were given.

Thanks for the honesty and authenticity.
Jess Lively

That is great to hear, Amy! I’m glad that part resonated with you so deeply. : )

I have to say, I just discovered your podcast this week and it has absolutely transformed my day to day. I struggled through something that felt like an epic failure all last year, and I wish I had found your site earlier. Thanks for normalizing, naming, and sharing the common threads of struggle that we all face. It’s such a joy to hear such vulnerability, openness, intelligence and kindness from you and all of your guests. Thank you!
Jess Lively

I’m so glad you found the show and you are enjoying it so much, Harben! I’m glad it is impacting your life in a positive way. : )
