EP308: Biz Chat: Running A Business That Aligns With Your Soul May 27, 2019

Show notes

A few weeks back I asked on IG stories what I should jam on this month in the solo episode and a surprising number of the questions were about business, so I decided to do a biz chat.

The timing is also good as Summer is upon us and I'm doing the business immersion that I did last summer again. I resisted doing business coaching or mentoring for many years, because a) I find A LOT of business coaches to be pretty douchey and b) I've had really up and down experiences with them myself over the years, so it felt like a huge responsibility I didn't necessarily want to take on.

When enough people ask you for something though you begin to listen and accept that perhaps you have something of value to offer, and I realized my value lies in helping folks find what works for them, that can be aligned and sustainable.

There are also some qualities of shared worldview, integrity and ethics my business clients tend to have: humanity and the collective > profits. But money does matter.

Just not in an ego-y way, in a generous way.

The more we have the more we can share and contribute.

The soul desires to express. How can we optimize that and fulfill our potential?

How can we live like my favorite Erma Bombeck quote?

"When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope I have no talent left and can say, 'I used everything you gave me.'"

When you're here to do what you're here to do, it's ok to stretch yourself, in my experience you'll feel stretched and uncomfortable a lot, you'll just get good at navigating it.

This episode is about all of that and more.

Listen more than once.

Share it with your business besties or biggest supporters.

EP307: Using Water, Dance and Movement for Trauma Healing with Rocio Navarro May 20, 2019

Show notes

You all know how much I geek out on conversations about trauma and how we can move through things in ways that are accessible to us AND honor where we are in life. Today's conversation with Rocio Navarro hits on ALL OF THAT!

Her big truth was about the nuances in how "surrender" is used in our culture.

From there we talked about stepping into the unknown and being open to possibilities and how beautiful hard and everything in between life can be.

Rocio shared how she uses and engages with water as a healing element. She shared how water has been her teacher and a path that reveals as so much of life is encapsulated in different densities of water.

We talked about the relationship between hypervigilance, strength and resilience, dance as medicine and a trauma healing tool, AND we even touched on working with dreams.

This was a really reach, deep and layered conversation about different ways we heal - I hope you'll listen more than once, let me know what lands for you and share it with anyone you can think of who can use it!

EP306: Your Story is Where The Revolution Begins with Jeanette LeBlanc May 13, 2019

Show notes

I've been connecting with today's guest, Jeanette LeBlanc online for years and it was beyond a pleasure to finally get to drop in with her for an interview. If you visit her website, jeanetteleblanc.com, what she does is clear as day. It says, "I help people find their words (and use them really well)."

And you know how much I love putting words to good use!!

So here's what we got into...

Jeanette's big truth was about dismantling the myth that we heal in isolation, which led us into a conversation about cycles of healing and how repeating lessons isn't necessarily negative.

She shared the origin story of how she's evolved and iterated from being a good girl, preacher's daughter with a science degree to a mommy blogger, birth doula, photographer and the rebellious writer and guide that she is now.

And of course we talked about our stories: the difference between the stories we tell, finding the truths in our stories, how our stories connect and heal us, and how the creative process of storytelling doesn't have to be a big thing that requires a microphone, platform or even an audience.

Enjoy this one and share it up - stories and words are universal things we all have access to, there's a lot of power to be mined here.

Big love,

EP305: Energy Matters with Zuyapa Jackson May 06, 2019

Show notes

Today's guest, Zuyapa Jackson, is one of my dearest friends. This was the kind of conversation that originally inspired me to start this podcast four years ago, just chatting with a friend about things we care about deeply, like healing, spirituality, and truth--then thinking, "Damn! I bet other people would love to be flies on the wall for this!" So I hope you feel that way as you listen :)

Zuyapa's big truth was around deeply trusting herself. We also talked about how fine is never good enough and made some really great distinctions between surviving, living and thriving. We talked about how we're always cycling through the three and how we aren't meant to be static or dormant in any of them.

We got into what it's like to be a "knower", how we have to go deep into the dark places in order to heal, one main reason being to resolve our shame.

Zuyapa shared why she thinks we're constipated as a society and how we're not "digesting" everything that goes on in our lives, how important it is to have places to turn to be truthful, and why we have to purify our physical and energetic bodies to come back out ourselves.

She also left us with a beautiful invitation to pray - and shared how to use it as a way to commune with not only the divine, but yourself as well.

This was a really beautiful conversation. I could barely stop smiling throughout all of it - I hope you love it too, listen many times and share it with anyone you think would appreciate it.

EP304: Creative Expression and Connection with Omrah Menkes Apr 29, 2019

Show notes

Our first comedian is on the show today. Living in LA, one of the things I've been aspiring to do with the show for a while is get a greater variety of creative folks on as guests, so I'm so happy Omrah Menkes said yes when I invited her!

Omrah is a multi-skilled artist, with passions including stand up comedy and animation. Her big truth was around being true to herself.

We talked about searching, freedom, and fulfillment in this episode and got into the various parts of these journeys. From grief, comparison, love, generosity, and making friends as an adult, to caring for people, pets and self - connection and creativity were two big themes we explored.

She also shared a bit about being raised in Israel, coming to the US to pursue her artistic career endeavors, some cultural differences, and how all of the different experiences have served her, even in difficult times.

Enjoy and share!

EP303: How We Heal with Ahlea Khadro Apr 22, 2019

Show notes

I love today's guest so much. Her name is Ahlea Khadro and she's someone I consider a "pocket person" - meaning, we talk so often I feel almost as if she is in my pocket constantly and I adore her.

Her big truth was that rupture and repair are more important than being perfect.

From there we got into the undulations of life, the cycles of creation, the great dance of back and forth that we do constantly as we evolve and heal. We talked about resiliency and intention, especially as it relates to parenting.

Ahlea generously shared a lot about her experience as a single mother, of stewarding a being, from childbirth on, and how throughout these stages women are called upon to use skills they don't always get to use, but absolutely have.

She talked about savoring the moments of peak intensity, some of the issues light polarization creates in New Agism and how we engage with ourselves during challenges.

This conversation was so juicy and we touched on so many healing topics, I can't wait to hear what you take away from it.

Share, listen more than once, and enjoy!

EP302: When You're Not One Thing with Christina Dunbar Apr 15, 2019

Show notes

Today's guest, Christina Dunbar is another multi-passionate and talented artist and creative and I loved her big truth - it was about not being one thing.

I have a feeling a lot of you will be able to relate to this. She talked about being sexual, spiritual, smart, shy, bold, tender, fierce and more. We got into the creative impulse and her journey from the world of ballet and being shy growing up, to becoming an exotic dancer to support herself and finding her voice.

We talked a lot about storytelling as a beautiful machine that creates empathy and compassion. We discussed creative process and inspiration, what brings our senses alive about witnessing other people's art, the healing benefits of sharing ourselves creatively and more.

I loved this chat. Listen, share, and let me know what you think!

EP301: Shame, Meditation and Authentic Self Inquiry with Shivani Hawkins Apr 08, 2019

Show notes

I met today's guest, Shivani Hawkins at an event about decentering whiteness in yoga and mindfulness spaces. I was touched by her deep connection to and reverence for her Hindu lineage, as well as her depth of practice, understanding, knowledge and philosophy. We live in an age when it's easy to take pieces of all sorts of teachings, so to be around someone who has gone so deep with one, is a beautiful thing.

Her big truth was about how everything comes down to the art of seeing. From there we got into practicing self-inquiry without shame, the difference between shaming and holding people accountable, and how shame is not inherent in truth.

We also discussed how harm occurs as the result of a lack of self-inquiry because the choices we make that are not examined can only go the way of our conditioning.

We talked about the difference between meditation and visualization, and my favorite part of the conversation was about the difference between seeing, listening and hearing.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. You'll probably want to listen more than once and I encourage you to also use this as a conversation starter with loved ones.

EP299: A Biz Chat: The 100k Incubator with Arielle Loren Mar 25, 2019

Show notes

I know our entire audience isn't entrepreneurs, but for those who are, this episode is for you. As well, if you are genuinely curious how business, branding and start ups work, it's a great conversation to listen in on.

I met our guest, Arielle Loren in 2015 when she attended my Wild Soul Movement retreat in Costa Rica. Ever since I've really enjoyed watching her business and trajectory evolve and we dove into all the parts in this conversation.

We talked about integrating larger social issues into business, which is what she's been doing by focusing on the disparity between how funding gets allocated to the rest of the entrepreneur field vs what's available to early stage, women of color founders.

She explained the difference between different types of funding, what "bootstrap mentality" means, and how to leverage and build credit and gain access to certain circles.

We explored where people waste their money in the early stages of running a business, the psychology and process to sales, working remotely, AND the role self care, focus and perspective play in running a sustainable business.

I also loved hearing about her various ventures over the years, living abroad, and how she landed in Miami as her current home base.

This is a rich and layered conversation. Enjoy and share!
