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

This week I needed to hop on a soapbox. I saw a quote the other day attributed to the lovely Brené Brown which I (shockingly) disagreed with. Normally, I love Brené's work, but the quote I read of hers did not sit right with me.

So in today's podcast episode, I outline why I disagree and how I would've said what she said a little differently. It is my belief and I've witnessed this to be true in countless environments, that we MUST constantly evaluate ourselves in order to have constant improvement. Holding ourselves against the standards of our defiant expectation is imperative to nurture the growth and progress we hope to see in the world.

I also know it's super important to not just constantly evaluate yourself but to also clearly outline how that improvement could occur. We don't need to give ourselves rejection, we need guidance and encouragement. But we can't give quality guidance and encouragement without identifying our current situation and where we expect to go.

Also in this episode is 1) how much I really do love Brené Brown's work and 2) an exercise that you can do at home to practice this new method of constant improvement. Enjoy!

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.

Bailie Slevin is with us today to talk about money and making it! This year has been my "year of money" and what I've noticed is that I actually *like* talking about money and making money. That was not always the case. It used to be something that I avoided like the plague, but after making the choice to "befriend" it, I've learned that it's a really powerful tool and completely relates to bravery, especially bravery as an artist.

Bailie is a guest nomination from a previous Bare Naked Bravery guest, Yuri Cataldo! I always love it when we get to see Resonant Bravery in action. If you're a new listener of Bare Naked Bravery, I'd say about 90% of the guests you hear are now nominations from either a listener or a previous guest, which is so cool. FYI - if you know of someone who you'd like to hear on the show, you can submit them by going to barenakedbravery.com and scrolling all the way to the bottom. There's a link down there waiting for your nomination!

Okay, back to Bailie Slevin. She is the founder of Entertaining Finance which is a financial consulting firm based in New York City, geared specifically towards creatives and freelancers of all genres. Bailie is the perfect combination of finance ninja and theater nerd. With 12 years of experience as a financial adviser and a hefty resume in theater, she is redefining planning for artists and entrepreneurs.

Today we talk about Bailie's own day-job pivot points, and she gives us some great advice for *any* level of a career as an artist or creative. We talk about how important it is to start saving right now. We talk about how our priorities should align with our values as an artist and how that plays into the financial world. We talk about what to do when your lifestyle is trapping or holding you back. We talk about who to use the right language when talking about yourself and your professionalism. We talk about how to break into a new level of income as an artist. and we also talk about how to even out the income bumps that almost any freelancer experiences.

Your Brave Takeaway from today's episode is to pop into the facebook group and tell us about your current money story as an artist or creative. Are you enjoying it? Is it causing some difficulty? Are you finding ways to be creative with your own income potential? Is there a gig you're doing right now that kinda sucks the life out of you? Tell us all about it!   The link to join the facebook group is inside your free Bravery Bundle so hop on in if you haven't yet!

We'd love to hear all about your favorite parts of today's Bare Naked Bravery. You can find Bailie Slevin 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.

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

When I look back over my life, I can see just how powerful planning for seasons of bravery can be. That being said, I've gotten really burned by making some really audacious goals and not being able to attain them.

There's an art to making plans, especially plans that you can stick to. That's what this week's Bare Naked Bravery podcast episode is all about: how to plan for seasons of bravery!

Obviously, the end of the year is the time where a LOT of folks are making new year's resolutions and preparing for the next year. It's a good thing to do. However, most folks end up quitting those resolutions within the first week. Been there. Done that!

So I've created a new workshop on How to Conduct Your Own Season of Bravery Ritual for this very purpose. It's filled with several stages of rituals which build into planning and mapping out your desired goals. The workshop has a guidebook, and video If you're interested in what we talk about on today's episode, then

Get ready for the most amazing rest of your life. and I don't mean the remainder of your life (although that will happen too.) I'm specifically referring to your rest as in relaxation and sleep. Today we have Karen Brody with us! She wrote the book Daring to Rest: a 40-day program for Women which uses yoga nidra techniques to restore your body's ability to function at a really powerful level.

Karen had a long personal history of severe panic attacks until she found yoga nidra meditation over a decade ago. At that time, she was a sleep-deprived mother of two small children on anti-anxiety medication. She signed up for a yoga nidra meditation class simply looking to lie down for a nap. What she got was "the best nap of her life." As she continued to practice yoga nidra regularly, her deep fatigue lifted; she wrote a critically acclaimed play, got off anti-anxiety pills, and started to teach this yoga nidra "power nap" to every exhausted mother she knew.

If you've been a listener of the show for awhile, then you'll know that I've had my own strange journey with learning what my body can and cannot handle and how that relates to my burnout rate. I'll get into that later in the episode, but I'm stoked to introduce you to Karen Brody and her book. In fact...

If you're listening to this episode before January 8th, 2018 and you've purchased her book then you're invited to join Karen Brody and I for a Rest Cleanse! If you go to daringtorest.com/newbook and click the Book Bonuses button you'll be prompted to submit your receipt number and email address. She'll walk us through this 40 days of rest outlined in her book.

I know I'm going to need it because my own book is releasing January 28th (put it in your calendar!) and I'll need the accountability to maintain my sanity and bliss throughout the whole book launch season.

Karen Brody is a speaker, certified yoga nidra instructor, and the founder of Daring to Rest™, a yoga nidra-based self-empowerment program for women. Her work has been featured in Better Homes & Gardens, and she's a regular contributor to The Huffington Post. She's also a critically acclaimed playwright; Birth, her theater-for-social-change play has been seen in over 75 cities around the world and raised over $1M to improve maternity care.

It is such an honor to introduce you to the power of rest and to the wonderful Karen Brody.

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.

I've really been looking forward to having someone one the show to talk about Imagination and specifically how that looks in quantum physics. Now, before you tune out and roll your eyes about either science or magical mysterious stuff that we typically have a hard time explaining, I want you to know this stuff really does matter.

We see so much pain and suffering in the world and it's easy to get caught up in the sameness and finite path that our culture is going down. This is exactly why I invited psychotherapist and author Mel Schwartz onto the show today. He just wrote this book called "The Possibility Principle: How Quantum Physics Can Improve the Way You Think, Live, and Love" It's a fantastic place for someone to dive into this subject matter and really learn how to use the knowledge it can offer us.

Mel and I chat about the power that lies behind doors that we're nervous about opening. We talk about the mysteriousness of synchronicity, and how to lean into your intuition. We talk about how much we need to infuse more wonder into our lives, and how that curiosity can flip on huge light bulbs or even just soften dark, scary seasons of life.

Mel is the perfect person to talk about this stuff because he's one of the few practicing psychotherapists who is integrating these principles of quantum physics into a psychotherapeutic approach. He knows how to apply this stuff to the every day even though his graduate degree is from Columbia University. He's authored a ton of other articles and books on subjects around these concepts, so he knows what he's talking about.

Today's Brave-Take away is to do a mini writing session on your own. Take a moment that happens to you almost every day. This could be making coffee, walking the dog, etc. For 5 minutes, write and describe that moment as it happens, step by step. Then duplicate that little paragraph, but insert the word "wonder" as many times as you can. Maybe you change the statement from "I take the brewed coffee and then I poured the cream" into "After taking the brewed coffee, I wondered what could happen when I stir the cream." Basically, I want you to take something monotonous and turn it into something magical. Maybe the presence of the word "wonder" in your writing, totally changes everything? If that's true, then I wonder *wink* what could happen for all of our lives if we infuse wonder a little more often...

We'd love to hear all about your favorite parts of today's Bare Naked Bravery. You can find Mel Schwartz 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.

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.

Earlier this week I submitted the final manuscript of my book Bare Naked Bravery: How to Be Creatively Courageous to my formatter. It's official. I can no longer make changes or edits or additions to my book. The line in the sand has been drawn. That was my final answer. (At least for this first edition.)

To celebrate such a nerve-wracking accomplishment, I reached for my phone, posted several fun announcements on social media, did a quick "hooray" via Facebook livestream in the Bare Naked Bravery Community group, and then I took 2 shots of tequila.

As the liquid courage hit my bloodstream, I began to ask myself… "Why is it that we celebrate bravery after-the-fact? Why can't we celebrate before it happens more often?" This line of questioning brought me to a whole weekend of ruminating on what rituals mean and how we can build and create them to empower our future bravery as well as celebrate our past feats of bravery.

So I dove alllll the way in. I started writing about it, adding to my personal knowledge and experience of rituals by researching it… lo and behold! I created a beautiful workshop on the very subject! (More on that here.)

To give a taste of the things I uncovered in this weekend obsession, this week's peep show episode of the Bare Naked Bravery podcast is all about how we can build our bravery with the help of rituals!

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

I am kinda nervous about sharing this conversation, because our guest today is one of my personal performance coaches. She's amazing and in the same breath, I know she knows things about me, my performance, and how I show up in the world that I don't always reveal to my audiences.

Vicki Ambinder is with us today and even though I'm a little nervous about opening up this discussion to y'all with someone who knows so much about my inner artist workings, I'm excited. I'm excited because Vicki has some seriously amazing tools to share with us about how to connect with an audience, how to stay in the "zone of genius" during a performance, and how to practice things that are difficult. ALL of those things relate directly to being brave and therefore this podcast. Which is precisely why I asked her if she'd join us on today's episode.

Vicki Ambinder is based in Portland, Oregon and so the majority of her and I's sessions together have been via online forms. However, I first met Vicki because she randomly picked me as a guinea pig for a performance coaching session she gave at the FAR-WEST Folk Alliance Regional conference just over a year ago.

Vicki is really good at what she does. She's been at it for nearly 40 years by helping musicians and bands to improve and enhance their live and studio performing skills and to work toward their artistic goals. She is also a CD preproduction consultant and studio vocal tracks producer for independent and self-producing recording artists. In addition to coaching clients across the country and in Canada, Vicki teaches performance master classes and workshops for music conferences, camps, festivals, musician's organizations, and private groups.

She also posts some in-depth conversations about performance with artists like Sarah Jarosz, Holly Near, Julia Sweeney, Tim O'Brien, Todd Snider, and Sam Bush. Links to her website and all her social media stuff are in the show notes for this episode.

Your Brave Take-Away from today's show is to share in the Bare naked Bravery Community about the last time you remember being unshakeable in your truth. Maybe you want to also to a little bit of stream-of-consciousness writing around that memory too?

Regardless, we'd love to hear all about your favorite parts of today's Bare Naked Bravery. You can find Vicki Ambinder 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's peep show episode is all about how to stop wasting your time and energy in areas of life or your creativity that just doesn't pay off. The law of diminishing returns is an important one and pertains to having incessant worrying habits, over-planning things, over-controlling things, and even not caring about things enough! We'll chat a little about how to spot crazy-makers in your life and what make s a good system for preventing and stopping these creativity leaks.

Today's episode is a gem of an experience. We've got Albert Flynn Desilver with us and we're got really deep on some subject matter that is relevant to ALL of us, regardless of art form or communication mediums.

Albert just published this beautiful book called "Writing as a Path to Awakening: a Year to Becoming an Excellent Writer and Living an Awakened Life." I highly recommend that you dive into this book with me. I can tell it was crafted with such care for us writers and intentional humans.

If you're not familiar with Albert's work, he  is an internationally published poet, memoirist, and novelist. He's a highly regarded and sought-after speaker and workshop leader. He's taught and presented with folks like Elizabeth Gilbert, Cheryl Strayed, Maxine Hong Kingston, Michael McClure, and U.S. Poet Laureate Kay Ryan among many others. You'll hear snippets of other really impressive feats of career bravery and experience throughout the rest of this conversation.

As always, links to everything Albert and I talk about today are found in the show notes for this episode over at barenakedbravery.com

Grab a cup of tea, pull up a chair and let's dive in with Albert Flynn Desilver!

In honor of Albert's beautiful book, your Brave Take-Away from today's show is to do a 10 minute freewrite exercise on the subjects we talked about today. Then hop into the Bare Naked Bravery Community Facebook group to tell us what bubbled up to the surface for you?

We'd love to hear all about your favorite parts of today's Bare Naked Bravery. You can find Albert Flynn DeSilver 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.
