About this listen

 "You Care Too Much" is a podcast for people who give a fuck. Hi, I’m Randi Johns, and if I had a nickel for every time I have heard, “You care too much..." Instead of heeding advice to give fewer fucks, I decided to double down on caring and start a podcast dedicated to elevating the voices of purpose-drivers, world-changers, and all those who reject the status quo, advocate for, and create ways to better the lives of many. I invite you to join me as I explore the stories behind cool humans doing great things. We will not only learn about their purposes or causes, but uncover and celebrate the "whys" behind what they do and who they are.2020 You Care Too Much Podcast Personal Development Personal Success Philosophy Social Sciences

    Ming Shelby - Courageous Conversations
    Mar 11 2021
    “Everyone has their own process, and everything happens at the exact right moment it’s supposed to.” What a beautiful reminder from a wise friend who I’m very excited to share with you.She, herself, has an awesome podcast and has shared her journey and podcasting experience with me as I’ve traversed my own. It seemed only fitting to get to dig up some big things and explore with someone who had a hand in helping and encouraging me to get this little pod off the ground.So, in this episode we hear from Ming Shelby who has been a wonderful mentor, to say the least. I highly recommend soaking up the wisdom and quality time any mentors generously gift your way. The great ones are champions of both success and growth. And yeah, Ming is a prime example of this.She is a National Board-certified educator who has dedicated her career to inspiring students, teachers and administrators through positive learning experiences. She believes that courage is the critical ingredient for personal transformation and is building a community of courage beyond the classroom to support kids and adults. You can catch her sharing stories of courage for people to learn to thrive, not just survive, on The Courage Up Podcast! She shares inspiring people and their courage stories weekly, and pretty recently gave a TEDx talk on courageous conversations, which we get into during this episode. Ming lights up everything she does, and I have no doubt that that is what she’s on this planet to do.Listen in as Ming shares her contagious energy, mindset, and how she believes courage is the secret ingredient to a great life.Key Talking Points of the Episode:Meet MingThe Courage Up PodcastCourageous ConversationsMindsetObstacles OvercomeMing’s InspirationMing’s advice to people who care a lot (and everyone else)Standout Quotes from the Episode:“I want this world to be a little bit better, with me in it.”“If I’m on this Earth, I want to have purpose, I want to live with intention, I want to be kind and courageous and spread positivity and give grace and I want to lift myself and the people up around me.”“I just feel like I have this duty to the world and the people in it that, ‘hey I’m going to show up as my best self and make this world a better place.’”“I can't rely on others for my own personal satisfaction or value or happiness. That all comes from me”“What I realized was that when I was living into my values and choosing courage instead of choosing fear, and choosing abundance instead of choosing scarcity, then everything was going to work out.”“Hearing each other’s’ courage stories really helps us continue to show up courageously.”“If I care about you enough to have you in my life, then I care enough about you to have hard conversations with you.”“We all have unsavory bits, so we might as well just be honest with ourselves.”“Keep showing up authentically as you are because the world needs you, exactly as who you are. Who you are is so important to make this world an even better place.” Mentioned in the Episode:Book: Radical Candour by Kim Scott Connect with Ming:Ming’s WebsiteInstagramIf you love this episode, please take a few minutes of your time.

  • Erin Claire Jones - Human Design: Decoding Your Energetic DNA & Living To Your Highest Potential

    Erin Claire Jones - Human Design: Decoding Your Energetic DNA & Living To Your Highest Potential
    Jan 21 2021
    I’ve been looking forward to coming back to this space and this community of caring, with you all, after wrapping up that strange year that 2020 was. I am grateful that the July-quarantined Randi felt that this podcast was a thing that she was compelled to do. I’ve gotten to meet, reconnect, dig deeper, and share folks with you who are making positive impacts in this world and living purposeful lives.I very grateful to have connected with today’s guest and am excited to share her with you. I was lucky enough to have a very cool conversation with Erin Claire Jones, who has been featured in Forbes and Nylon, and uses Human Design to help thousands of individuals and companies step into their work and their lives as their truest selves and to their highest potential.For those who are new to it, in Erin’s words, Human Design is a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science that sheds light on a person’s energetic makeup, as well as specific tools one can use to live at their happiest, healthiest, highest potential. Listen in and Erin will explain in further detail the magic that she helps folks understand in themselves in order to better align their lives with their purpose.She gets into how she started, by putting Human Design to work in her own life and ended up showing the world a new way to work, a new path towards success, and a new perspective on living authentically.I recently grabbed myself a customized Blueprint from Erin, which is a customized, personal guide of one’s Human Design. That was both revealing and validating. And couldn’t wait to hear more about her journey in serving as a trail guide of sorts, providing tools for folks to live to their greatest potential for the greatest good. You’ve got to give a fuck or two to be doing that kind of work in the world, Right? By the way, keep listening to hear how you can get a discount for your very own Blueprint from Erin.During this chat Erin helps us understand how human design can offer insight into what is possible for not only individuals, but companies, and partnerships as well - by giving insight into who they are and how to care more about themselves and those around them in ways that are immediately applicable.Key Talking Points of the Episode:Meet Erin Claire JonesHuman Design: A tool for better understanding of self and othersTypes, Profiles, and Inner AuthorityErin’s journeyErin’s mindset Inspiring self-trust and collaborative teamsHelping others find their purpose Erin’s InfluencesKey Milestones of the Episode:[04:30] Human Design in a nutshell[06:00] Meet Erin Claire Jones[09:00] High level breakdown of Human Design[09:30] Human Design Type: Generators & Manifesting Generators[12:00] Human Design Type: Projectors[15:00] Human Design Type: Manifestors[16:30] Human Design Type: Reflectors[17:30] Erin’s Journey: Why Human Design?[20:00] A better understanding of self[22:00] Erin’s mindset and self-care[25:30] Human Design and Partnership[28:00] Inner authority and profile[36:00] Helping others find their purpose [37:30] Supporting teams and business with Human Design[43:45] Erin’s Influences and support system[49:00] Erin’s adviceStandout Quotes from the Episode:“I think why Human Design made sense to me is it just felt like a bridge. It felt like it satisfied all my cosmic loves.”“Human Design is such a clear tool, in not just understanding themselves on an individual level, but in terms of how to best work together collectively.”“We might recognize the thing before the world does. So, just trust that, you know? And stay aligned and know that the recognition will come at the right time.”“When we are in integrity as messengers and leaders and teachers, that is felt.”“I was trying to be all the things I wasn’t.”“What I love about Human Design is I think it inspires self-trust.”“It’s not a belief system, it’s a tool. Use it how you will. Take what resonates, leave the rest.

  • Yoshino - Authenticity, Honesty & Meaningful Connection

    Yoshino - Authenticity, Honesty & Meaningful Connection
    Dec 14 2020
    No question about it; a lot of terrible things have happened this year. And Yeah, we could just say 2020 was shit. But was it all that way? Or did it make you have to look at and try connecting with yourself and others a little harder, a little longer, and maybe a little more honestly? Sure. We can say the chaos of 2020 has muddied everything and that we’re just trudging through, or we could say it made certain things a lot more clear. Or we could go with both. It’s probably both.On that note, I was energized and inspired by this conversation in this episode, learning more about our guest, and I can’t wait for you to hear it. He is someone who encourages me to think, and who is endlessly curious. This week I share with you a chat that I was fortunate enough to have had with Yoshino, a visual artist, photographer, and podcaster extraordinaire among other things.I was originally introduced and then re-introduced to Yoshino by an amazing mutual friend of ours, and he graciously let me pick his brain about podcasting early on in my journey with “You Care Too Much.” Somehow we ended up on the topic of empathy and I couldn’t not have him on the show after that.Yoshino hosts the Artist Decoded podcast, which he has been doing for the past five years now. He started it as an exploration of self, as an artist, and explores the inner workings, perspectives, vulnerabilities, and everything in between with other artists and experts - digging into the who and why of some of the most creative folks around. Yoshino is also co-founder of the Los Angeles-based arts collective, NOH/WAVE, which includes an online academy of workshops taught by an arsenal of talented artists. It’s very cool.One of my favorite things about Yoshino, Artist Decoded, and really all that he does is the element of human connection that seems to permeate throughout. It was at the beginning of last week’s episode that I was expressing how much more important connection feels right now, though it’s always been important… And Yoshino gives us insight into his perspective on authenticity, intentionality, and a mindset of honesty when it comes to both ourselves and others; all key ingredients for meaningful connection.Key Talking Points of the Episode:Meet YoshinoBeing present versus phoning it in Having intention for the things that you doEmpathy and masculine dualityArtistic viabilityHuman connection & vulnerabilityInfluences on Yoshino’s lifeKey Milestones of the Episode:[04:30] Meet Yoshino[05:10] Being present vs. phoning it in[9:00] From second-hand values to personal intuition[11:00] Being intentional & Deliberate[14:40] Digging into Artist Decoded[16:19] Effective communication [17:00] Multiple truths & empathy[19:50] Being a lover and a fighter [21:45] Artistic viability as a way of life[27:00] Being a life-long learner[29:18] Dedication[36:00] Yoshino’s mindset; balance, honesty, discipline [39:00] Vulnerability, authenticity, and perspective[44:30] Openness and human connection[51:20] People who have left a lasting impact on Yoshino[56:00] Discussion and healthy relationships[59:500] Something Yoshino is interested in trying[01:05:30] Organizations Yoshino supports Standout Quotes from the Episode:“I think that the more that I started listening to second-hand values of other people, and people’s projections of their internal mental structures on me, that’s when I think I stopped listening to my gut.”“I’m very deliberate about my pursuit of knowledge.”“I find that my happiest times are when I’m able to learn, you know, and whether that’s learn from people or learn from a book.”“I think a lot of times we’re conditioned to chase results, and the journey is actually more important.”“I feel like mindset is about discipline, honesty, balance, and being able to communicate that effectively to people that you love and so on and so forth.”“You’ll learn a lot about humanity by just sitting there and sharing that space.”“What is my contribution to this planet? How can I help in the best way that I can? And I think everyone has their own way of helping - our hearts beat for different things.”“That’s the difference; to build healthy relationships is you have discussions about things that you differ on and not try to find faults in the person for having their opinion on something.” Mentioned in the Episode:NOH/WAVE AcademyBlack Futures LabNational Bail Fund Network Connect with Yoshino:Yoshino StudiosYoshino Studios on InstagramArtist Decoded PodcastArtist Decoded on InstagramNOH/WAVENOH/WAVE on InstagramNOH/WAVE Academy If you love this episode, please rate and review it on Apple/iTunes!
