Business Blasphemy: Success, Ambition & Other Things Women Question After 40

Send me a direct message!

Dr. Lee Cordell, CEO and Founder of the Institute for Trauma and Psychological Safety, joins Sarah this week to talk about what trauma is, what it isn't, and how it can show up in business.

With the topic of trauma on the rise in the online business space, with terms like "trauma-informed", "trauma-aware", and "trauma-sensitive" being thrown around in marketing at a growing rate, Sarah and Dr. Lee clarify the line between where it's legit, and where it's bullshit.

TRIGGER WARNING: Dr. Lee does mention sexual assault at one point in the interview at minute 25:18.

Topics include: 

• Defining trauma
• What mutually beneficial decisions look like and how they can impact your business
• How Target has created safety for its customers
• Why privilege is such a contested topic
• Tips on holding or seeking more trauma-informed spaces and how to find spaces that truly walk their talk
• What safe spaces look like
• Gatekeeping information and why that is dangerous
• Why we weren't meant to do this alone
• And a whole heap more!

Dr. Lee C. Cordell is an expert mindset coach, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and CEO and founder of the Institute for Trauma and Psychological Safety. Lee uses her 15+ years of experience in healthcare, psychology, and education to empower people in the development of safe, healthy, and shame-free personal and professional relationships.

This one may ruffle a few feathers but that's sometimes a good thing.

No, this isn't throwing shade at coaches (I mean, Sarah's a coach, right?) Instead, Sarah invites you to consider something that in the online business space is considered downright sacrilegious -- going coach-free for a period of time.

Why on EARTH would she recommend NOT having a coach? Tune in and find out.

This week Sarah gets a little personal -- what made her finally leave her job and take on the mantle of reluctant entrepreneur? 20 years of nonsense coming to a head after an accident with a toddler's jagged nail left her with a corneal abrasion.

Trust us, it'll make sense once you hear the story.

She also shares the top 3 beliefs she had to work on overcoming in order to fully thrive in her business -- beliefs that were the result of being a high-achieving, ambitious employee for over 2 decades.

You hear it a lot -- feeling overwhelmed? Hire! Outsource!

Not in an of itself a bad idea -- but not always the best FIRST idea.

On this week's episode, Sarah talks about the 2 main causes of overwhelm and the 3 things you should be focusing on to help kick it to the curb (do people still say that?). The 3 C's of Success, as she calls them, are a big piece of the foundation of every good, sustainable business, and they should be revisited frequently.

She also offers a reframe on how to set Good, Better, Best goals, how genuine connection can help curb overwhelm, and what consistency actually means when it comes to content creation.

It's a mixed bag today! But all goody bags are.

How would you like to make a million dollars?

In this episode, Sarah breaks down what it would take to actually justify a high priced offer based on the advice of some pretty well known coaches. Leaning on her experience as both an operator and a former bespoke event professional, Sarah dishes on what conversations about high ticket offers leave out, and what you should really be taking in to account when setting your prices -- and there isn't a single "charge your worth" to be found.

In this premiere episode, Sarah talks about why entrepreneurship feels overwhelming and frenetic -- in short, why it feels broken. It's a State of the Union of Entrepreneurship, uncomfortable but necessary.

It all started because of a contractor role asking for the moon and stars -- for a price you wouldn't believe. Give it a listen and then be sure to weigh in on the conversation. Follow Sarah over on Instagram and share your thoughts. Head to instagram.com/corporate.rehab
