Bare Naked Bravery: Post-Traumatic Courage for Entrepreneurs with Unfinished Business

On today's mini-episode we're talking all about constraints, limitations, and how to have an imagination based on *hope* for your future. There are three main points I want to make, to help us get out of the "woe is me" mindset. So listen below to hear those thoughts and my answer to whether I think imagination is insanity or not.

I also give y'all a little update on how my book concert tour is going! Texas has been wonderful! Lots of chips & salsa, new friends, old friends, and amazing times sharing my music and book with everyone!

Remember: I'm giving away 200 website audits this summer, so if you haven't signed up for yours yet, then click here: http://emilyannpeterson.com/free-website-audits

Let's jump on into the insanity of imagination and how to think beyond our current set of constraints, limitations, and realities!

I'm looking forward to being with you next week. We have some great things in store for you!

Until then I have one message for you. It's this:

Be yourself. Be vulnerable. Be brave. Because the world needs more of your Bare Naked Bravery.

Today's episode is a first for the Bare Naked Bravery podcast! I'm stoked that we've got BOTH Samatha Parker and Kathy Rasmussen with us today! It's our first episode with more than one guest at once! Things are getting fancy over here!

A couple months ago they featured me on their Badassery podcast and I also wrote an article about how bravery can help a business owner build their bank account. I believe the article was on page 52 of their April issue. Go check it out at badasserymag.com

I really just love what they're putting out into the world and knew they would have a LOT to say on this month's topic of Risk and Rejection! Today we chat about what it means to say yes or no to something. We talk about how risk and rejection have played a part in the start of their new magazine, partnership, and business.

As always, links to all their good stuff and social media connections are in the show notes of this episode. Let's get on into it! I give you Samantha Parker and Kathy Rasmussen!

Psst! I'm on tour - go check out the travel dates and performances at http://emilyannpeterson.com/calendar

Beyond your free Bravery Bundle (which is always available at barenakedbravery.com) your Brave Take-Away from today's show is to hop into the Bare Naked Bravery Community Facebook group to tell us all about the last time *you* risked rejection. Was it tricky? Did you have a contingency plan in place? Did you bolster your nerves before taking the risk? We want to know!

We'd love to hear all about your favorite parts of today's Bare Naked Bravery. You can find Samantha Parker, Kathy Rasmussen, Badassery Magazine and myself on facebook, twitter, instagram, and more. Go ahead and tag us so we can cheer you on and see what you're up to.

This week I'm preparing to leave my temporary home base of Atlanta to venture out into over 45 days of book readings, live performances, and workshops throughout the US. (All the dates and details are here: http://emilyannpeterson.com/calendar)

Since this month's theme in the School of Bravery and here on the podcast is Risk & Rejection, I thought I'd take a couple minutes before packing up my suitcase to talk about the upside of risk and the benefits it offers. Here are the 4 main topics I unfold in this episode:

- Don't let your fear of taking risks sabotage your potential.

- The exhilaration of risk can train you to transmute your anxiety into momentum.

- Saying yes to risk is also saying yes to possibilities you can't yet imagine.

- Risks require you to stay grounded in areas of your life that otherwise might float away.

You can listen it all below...

Today we have an awesome nomination as our guest! I always love it when things like this work out, and I just have to thank Jessica Ribera for being so willing and open to jump into our conversation so blindly.

Jonny, a former bandmate of mine, nominated Jessica Ribera for today's episode. She and I talk about the moments we share while dealing with our respective pains and losses. Jessica lost her ballet career. I lost my career as a cellist. Today we both find ourselves using the word writer as a self-descriptor.

Before you go and think this is gonna be a sob fest of an episode, it's not. Jessica and I both retain our emotional sobriety today, however we do talk about the moments we denied our lack of emotional sobriety and instead tried to numb or deny the pain we were so vividly fighting to feel. We talk about writing. We talk about being honest. We talk about career-ending injuries. We talk about gaining, losing, and regaining our vision for the possibility.

Y'all. This is such a good, honest, discussion. Thank you Jonny for nominating Jessica Ribera to join the Bare Naked Bravery community.

On that note, if you have someone you'd like to nominate for the show - go for it! You can visit barenakedbravery.com/be-our-guest and submit your person right now. We ONLY feature guests who've been nominated on the show. We do this because it keeps things real and it keeps us talking about the resonant bravery we see all around us.

If you're curious about what resonant bravery is, go read my book (available on Amazon right now in all formats!) I talk alllll about resonant bravery in the first third of the book. If you're listening to this episode now and haven't read the book yet, there's a good chance that you should go get yourself a copy.

Okay, back to Jessica Ribera. You're gonna love her. Her writing has been featured on Scary Mommy, The Mighty, and Feminine Collective. She's a business school grad, doula, mom, and soooo much more. Most of all she's real. and like we say later in the conversation, even though her pain is uniquely hers, pain is pain and we've all experienced the dull ache of some version of it. Sharing it together can make it more manageable.

Please enjoy my brand new friend Jessica Ribera!

Beyond your free Bravery Bundle (which is always available at barenakedbravery.com) your Brave Take-Away from today's show is to pop into the Bare Naked Bravery Community facebook group and share your "hiding under the desk" moment. What was it? When did you know you needed to make a change? What was that change?

We'd love to hear all about it AND your favorite parts of today's Bare Naked Bravery. You can find Jessica Ribera and myself on facebook, twitter, instagram, and more. Go ahead and tag us so we can cheer you on and see what you're up to.

At 17, Jessica moved from Texas to Seattle all by my big self to dance at the Pacific Northwest Ballet. 3 years later a stage accident changed her plans. Fighting her way back to the belief that her creative efforts matter and that she STILL is a dancer and creator in spite of a career-ending injury has been the central lens for her learning, personal development, and (most crucially!) desire to love and empower others for the past 13 years. She's been a dancer, business school graduate, art advocate and curator, board member, mother, doula, chronically ill person, and whatever else, but she's really only ever trying to find new ways to be truthful, useful, and kind.

Writing, once only a coping mechanism, finally asserted itself as new passion and goal, though learning to call herself "writer" has required her to face her fear of giving herself to an art form again. The loss of ballet was terrible, but in her writing she sees that the gains might, MIGHT, just have been worth it. She's currently shaping a memoir of her time as a dancer, the loss, and the ongoing recovery. Her writing has appeared on Scary Mommy, The Mighty, and Feminine Collective, but all the good stuff is at jeskybera.com.

In today's peep show episode, we discuss my 6 go-to steps for recovering from rejection. This is so important for any creative or visionary. Those of us who have big ideas, often encounter rejection of those big ideas.

Understanding how to present those big ideas to the world is crucial, yes. (Speaking of, have you RSVP'd for the next masterclass yet? http://emilyannpeterson.com/workshops)

ut understanding how to handle and recover from rejection is ALSO crucial. If you're putting yourself out there, most likely, you will encounter rejection. Here are my tried and true methods to bouncing back as quickly as possible without denying yourself the time to heal...

I am so pumped for today's interview. Liis Windischmann is with us! Liis is a curvy model and a TV personality who is a massive advocate for wellness, body love, and consciously creating epic lives.

Today Liis and I are talking about Power of Choice. I knew she'd be a great person for this subject because there's no way someone would choose to advocate for anything if they didn't know how to utilize their personal power of choice. Standing up and speaking out against societal norms is a huge version of how power of choice can play out.

But Liis and I also discuss the smaller, more common versions of utilizing your power of choice. So if you're feeling a little bit boxed into a corner today or like you're being victimized in some form or fashion (even by your own self!) then today's episode is for you.

Register for this month's free masterclass here: http://emilyannpeterson.com/workshops

Iconic curvy model and prominent media & TV personality Liis Windischmann,  inspires women to amplify their wellness, body love and happiness helping them consciously create epic lives.  Through her creative and transformational projects, Liis brings a refreshing new consciousness to health, beauty, and wellness providing proactive, fun, easy ways to live a mindful life balancing mind, body and soul.  Her health journey with autoimmune Gluten Ataxia and Hashimoto's has transformed her world-leading her to empower others to lead proactive lives, stop obsessing about the numbers on a scale and rock their happiness, learning to love and appreciate themselves mind, body, and soul. Her latest creation, Falling Into Zen 10 Guided Meditations Under 10 Minutes, helps people create calm and connection in their busy lives.

Beyond your free Bravery Bundle (available at emilyannpeterson.com/join) your Brave Take-Away from today's show is two things:

1. register for this month's free masterclass on Victim to Hero: Finding Your Bravery in Unlikely Places (http://emilyannpeterson.com/workshops)
2. go grab yourself Liis' Falling Into Zen: 10 Guided Meditations Under 10 Minutes over at http://liisonlife.com

The past 2 weeks were filled with unexpected changes in my personal life. These changes greatly affected my work life. So in light of this month's top of "power of choice" in the realm of self-promotion, today we're chatting about how to regain your power by enforcing boundaries and drawing new lines in the sand. This is a crucial skill for anyone with personal life and a career - we all need the ability to balance crisis between the two realms.

Today we have a sequel episode with Karin Stevens! (If you haven't listened to her previous episode, I dropped a link to it in the show notes for this episode.) Karin is a choreographer based in the Seattle area. It turns out that she's been doing more writing lately and she sent me an email the other day with a question. I immediately knew this question should become a podcast episode.

Her email was perfect timing too because I had a lightbulb moment the other day. Once a month, I'd like to feature one of these Q&A episodes with either a client or colleague about that month's theme. I'm super excited about this because if any of the future Q&A episodes turn out as beautifully as Karin's then we've struck gold.

So yeah, Karin and I had a gold-level conversation today all about her current self-promotion anxieties, mainly how to make the right editing choices while still staying true to your voice. She asked me about my writing boundaries, my editing process for both book writing and songwriting, and my bravery equation for adjusting how I'm saying what I need to say.

Before we jump into today's Q&A conversation, please know that if these topics are of interest to you, then I want you to take the free masterclass on overcoming self-promotion anxiety. It's a super in-depth exploration and explanation of what is behind self-promotion anxiety and some of my favorite ways to conquer these anxieties, especially during seasons of bravery (like depression, emotionally tender/thin days, and high stress.) When we're in a state of fear, it's really difficult to make confident decisions when our physical, emotional, relational, and career environment does not foster those confident choices. In the masterclass, I walk y'all through the best method to short-circuit those stressors and overcome self-promotion anxiety.

The class is free and there's a registration link in the show notes for this episode and on my website at emilyannpeterson.com/workshops.

Okay, so in celebration of that exploration and conquering of self-promotion anxiety, let's buckle up to chat about the value of an authentic editing process with your creative works. Please join me in welcoming powerhouse choreographer Karin Stevens!

Be yourself. Be vulnerable. Be brave. Because the world needs more of your Bare Naked Bravery.

Last week I announced we were planning on a workshop all about how to not be a victim in life, but I got so many random questions about self-promotion that I decided to turn this month's theme of "Power of Choice" into how to use your power of choice to make better decisions in a self-promotion environment.

So in honor of this month's FREE masterclass (register here: http://emilyannpeterson.com/workshops) today we're talking all about how to do self-promotion differently and what that decision might imply for your life and career. 

In this episode I give several real-life examples of how I have personally gone about self-promotion in a different way. I also honestly explain some of the benefits and drawbacks from doing self-promotion differently. I'm really hoping this slight variation in this month's theme is helpful for you! If it is, let me know!

Take a listen!

I am so thrilled to introduce y'all to one of my accountability gals! Fabienne and I met online because we were both building similar kinds of excitement with our businesses. When she and I were meeting up weekly, I really appreciated her sense of straight-forward clarity and ability to just make something happen.

I don't know if you've captured the trend or pivot of the show since we launched my book into the world, but I'll give you a peek into the method of my madness for this upcoming year... If you've been a longtime listener or you've read my book, you'll know there are 12 ingredients of bravery. Since there are 12 months in a year we'll be focusing on one ingredient each month! All the episodes and open-to-the-public workshops will center around these topics. If you want to check out the previous and upcoming workshops go visit http://emilyannpeterson.com/workshops

Since the book is out and we're no longer in "research mode" I'm really looking forward to doing some deeper curation of these conversations in the upcoming year. Even though each week's content will be more mapped out in advance, we're still continuing with the organic conversation and the same protocol for all guests being either a nomination from myself or from a previous guest or current listener of the show. If you have a nomination to submit, go to http://barenakedbravery.com and scroll down to the bottom!

This month we were camped out on the topic of Vision of Possibility and the workshop was awesome. Next month we're diving into the bravery ingredient of "Power of Choice." So keep your eyes peeled on your email inboxes for the registration info for the next workshop: How to Flow with Life Without Being a Victim.

Back to today, since this month's Bravery ingredient theme is Vision of Possibility, I invited Fabienne to do a mini jam session on how she and I envision moving forward as business owners! This is one of her strengths, I know you'll hear that fact in today's conversation.

Fabienne Raphaël is a super rad consultant to folks looking to leave their corporate day-job into the online business world. Even if you're not a business owner, I know you'll glean so much from this conversation, as we discuss solutions that can apply to ANY person or situation.

So without further ado, let's take the leap and dive in!

Your Brave Take Away from today's show is to identify what your very next small baby step is.

We'd love to hear all about your favorite parts of today's Bare Naked Bravery. You can find Fabienne Raphaël and myself on facebook, twitter, instagram, and more. Go ahead and tag us so we can cheer you on and see what you're up to.
