Finding Your Way with Lori and Tonya
Special Guest: Katharine Chestnut
In today’s episode, we have a special guest, Katharine Chestnut. From the fast-paced world of marketing and small business, to self-care routines and wellness practices, Katharine has created a lifestyle that’s truly hers. She is committed to help others discover their own inner wisdom. She encourages everyone's Inner Affirmations to connect to a powerful source of loving, affirmative energy that’s inside of each of us.
Katharine Chestnut has an extensive and varied career background that spans across many different industries. With a few decades of marketing experience under her belt, including a Diamond-level certification in trade-show marketing. She knows a thing or two about connecting with people in the business environment.
Her love for connection and community is what drew her to small business culture. Katharine transitioned from working in a global corporate environment to the world of coworking. She now plays dual roles, as both founder and Chief Community Officer at Alkaloid Networks. Alkaloid Networks is a coworking space she founded in 2015. Katharine thrives on fostering connection for members who are growing their businesses. Additionally, she started the Atlanta Coworking Alliance nonprofit in 2019 to bring together local owners and operators in the region.
Opening a coworking space was a significant shift, but Katharine has mastered the art of adapting with grace, even while struggling through personal challenges. During the past two decades, Katharine has navigated the realm of self-care, studying multiple wellness disciplines to support her own personal growth. She can shift seamlessly from topics around marketing, to kinesiology, then coaching in the same conversation.
The culmination of her journey over the last few years is her most recent work, Inner Affirmations. This book is Katharine’s testament to her practice of self-care and the kind of growth that comes from a journaling routine. She is thrilled to share this transformative book with anyone who might need its affirming support.

47. Use Silly to Shift the Energy
10:55||Season 2022, Ep. 47In today’s episode, we discuss how we have access to silly tools that can shift our energy immediately. What tools do you use? We share ideas like dancing, singing, screaming, bouncing, and more to move negative, stale energy to get you to a more positive state in a short amount of time. Be forewarned – our energy song may get stuck on repeat in your mind! Resources Mentioned in this Episode:· Song· Website: Higher Navigation Connect with Lori Phillips and Tonya Hendley:Linktree46. Stay Positive
18:28||Season 2022, Ep. 46In today’s episode, we provide a reminder about the basics of keeping a positive mindset. Especially now that the world is opening back up and we find ourselves surrounded by people that might not have a positive mindset, it is more important than ever to practice positivity. We discuss not taking how others act personally, not engaging in negative talk and behaviors, and modeling being a positive person. All of these things help us stay on our positive path.

13:48||Season 2022, Ep. 45In today’s episode, we discuss thoughts on four components of relationships: duration, proximity, frequency, and intensity. What about those connections when you meet someone and you feel like you have known them forever? Or those relationships that pick right back up as if no time has passed? We discuss how this formula doesn’t take synergy and genuine connections into account. In order to cultivate genuine relationships, we must enter into relationships as our authentic selves and embody the type of genuine connections that we desire.

13:10||Season 2022, Ep. 44In today’s episode, we are reflecting on the following quote by Yung Pueblo:“If you expect your relationship to always be fun, high energy, and without conflict then you are unconsciously attached to perfection. Even great relationships have down times, slow moments, and conflict that appears so you can better understand each other and reach deeper harmony.”We discuss how living a positive life does not mean living at a high vibe at all times, but it is more about having a positive mindset that helps us to see the benefits of all experiences. If we allow ourselves, we can learn and grow through mistakes in life and reach deeper harmony.

12:19||Season 2022, Ep. 43In today’s episode, let’s discuss the importance of allowing space for us to enjoy all that we have accomplished. We discuss how our perspective can help us to feel free and floating in the stillness versus feeling stuck. We share how for the first time, we both are seeing how the ebbs and flows of life are not necessarily positive or negative, but they just are.

14:51||Season 2022, Ep. 42In today’s episode, we discuss how the feeling of not belonging or not being connected to others is universal and more common than we think. We discuss the stories we tell ourselves sometimes and how we can shift to a more centered place within ourselves that helps us be less focused on feeling disconnected or on the outside looking in.

We are all worthy and pre-approved to be here, so why do we stand in our own way by seeking approval from others? We have the answers within us.
