Brilliant Misfits with Aesha Kennedy

Body Love Method was created by Emma Polette to empower women through effective practical self care practices that don’t include harsh diets or exercise.

Emma was trained as a personal trainer, health coach, reiki practitioner, and yoga teacher. Her clients call her a real woman for real women. She is on a mission to help thousands of women feel great about their bodies without harsh diets or exercise programs.

I invited Emma Polette as a guest on Brilliant Misfits because she truly is. Not fitting into what society considers ‘normal’ she has found a way to live her life with acceptance and love and now helps others do the same. Her business, which is different to other personal training and health coaching,  is flourishing since embracing her rebel approach to helping women through the Body Love Method and  how they can feel fit and healthy and love themselves just as they are.

• Falling in love with your body vs. punishing your body

• Self-esteem and Self care go hand in hand

• Allowing vs. Achieving and how that is a game changer

• Taking the first step to loving your body, yourself, just as you are

Emma is available for a free consultation.

Quiet Marketing with my guest this week Danielle Gardner. How did quiet marketing come about, what does it mean, and why it has an appeal to people who want more enjoyment, simplicity, effortlessness in building their online business.

Danielle Gardner is an innovator and she loves to examine, research, notice, test, and take a refreshing approach to making business a truly enjoyable lifestyle business.

And this is what she teaches others who gravitate towards those same or similar values.

Learning how to market ‘quietly” and meaningfully and in doing so draw in likeminded clients that you will love working with is a slower approach and may not be for everyone, but it has a growing appeal with those who identify as being introverted, empathic and highly sensitive.

• Why LEANING BACK is so effective

• What it means to AIM LOWER and how does that help business grow

• KEEPING THE SABATH –  How Danielle came to create a full day of rest every week. A day of no in puts and how effective this is

• GENEROSITY in marketing

• Switching on the Internal meter of “Can I Be Bothered?” and what that means

In quantum physics it was a revelatory discovery to note that objects appear only when the subject looks and disappears when the subject is not looking. Applying that to our creative life, when we take a step into the wilderness, into the unknown, the trail appears. The next step is revealed. And then the next, and the next as we continue.

Wilderness. It may conjure up images of chaos, jungle, thick forests and wild untamed places. But there is a trail.  One could say creative wilderness IS our trail. The trail is not straight and, more often than not, it isn’t apparent and the trail doesn’t appear until we start walking into the wilderness. Like quantum physics has shown us, we only see the trail when we look and and when we look we may see the trail appear one step at a time.

-Henri Matisse
