“It's always an option for you to want to do incredible things.”

–S.E. Martin

Not sure what’s next? I’m talking with writer S.E. Martin who has continued to evolve with the support of FLOW365.

Shauna’h went from career and mom with little kids to side hustles and travels in Spain to published author. It’s been amazing watching her evolve. We featured her books in our Romance Collection in Pause Magazine’s summer issue.

Shauna’h loves the structure and the container of FLOW, the rituals and routines that work for her even when life gets busy. She’s been with us since 2019 and finds the support and community continue to help her do incredible things.

We talk about:

• How support can help you not lose yourself in the now and look ahead to what you want
• The importance of learning to take care of yourself
• Why you can keep getting things out of FLOW as you evolve
• Making choices — what you can cut out to keep the things that really matter
• How FLOW’s Get It Done days help move projects forward and balance the things you need to do
• Getting overwhelmed trying to figure it all out yourself and how amazing the FLOW community is

ABOUT SHAUNA’H

Shauna’h writes under the pen name S.E. Martin. She is an enrolled member of the Mohawk Nation at Six Nations of the Grand River in Ohsweken, Ontario. She grew up in Niagara Falls, New York, and now lives in New England with her husband and children. She is the author of the Medicine Game series — contemporary sports romance rooted in Haudenosaunee culture and community.

DOABLE CHANGES

At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens.

Even though we want big change, it’s really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect.

Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:

• ENGAGE WITH A CARD. Let the image speak to you first. Notice what draws your attention, what emotions arise, what feels familiar or surprising. After receiving that, then turn to the guidebook message connected to the card.
• PULL A CARD FOR 14 DAYS. What happens when you pull a card for 2 weeks straight? (Or longer?) Pull a card every day and see what emerges over time.
• FOLLOW UP TO A CARD YOU DON’T LIKE. Ask for help understanding the card that upsets you. You can put the card aside and come back to it the next day. Or you can pull an explainer card from a different deck and see what that opens up for you.

DOABLE CHANGES

At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action.

Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it.

Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:

• 15 MINUTE CHALLENGE. Spending too much time creating social? Set a timer for 15 minutes. Use that time to create your post. A tip from the magazine: Your life is the content. Ask yourself: What in my life today connects to what my audience needs?
• TIME GAP COMMENTING. You can schedule 15 minutes to go in and comment strategically, but you can also try using those little gaps of time — while waiting in line or between calls. Comment strategically on complimentary accounts. Get involved in the conversation.
• TRY GOING LIVE. Going live has a different energy than you talking to your phone for a video. Even if you aren’t that used to being in front of the camera, you can learn to be more comfortable. And video builds trust.
