Business By Nature

Carrigan Ham returns to the Business By Nature podcast this month as a followup to episode 24: Cultivating Your Volcanic Nature with Carrigan Ham. In that episode we discussed the importance of archetypes, so you may want to tune into that one first for more context. We’ll be recording six episodes in all, one for each Force of Nature archetype from the Force of Nature  quiz.

Carrigan’s Force of Nature archetype is Earthquake. She speaks to how this resonates in her life and business.

In this episode you’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the Earthquake archetype, both the gifts and the challenges. And since both Carrigan and Elyna studied earth sciences, you also get to learn about actual earthquakes to deepen the metaphor of viewing this natural force as it applies to situations in your life.

Whether or not your Force of Nature archetype is Earthquake, you’ll learn where you might need to call on this archetype to really shake sh*t up… because, ultimately, utilizing aspects of all six Force of Nature types becomes a powerful toolkit for business challenges.

Weaving together seemingly disparate paths is a gift of Earthquake types. Carrigan leads transformations by showing people how to alchemize past pain into personal power through functional medicine, mind-body medicine, and depth psychology. Her coaching is deep, fearless, and truly holistic.

This episode is filled with prompts that give you a taste of the depths she helps you explore. Connect with Carrigan by signing up for The Harbor: a weekly anchor point for self-reflection. This free newsletter includes a downloadable meditation, scientific insights, and journal prompts that go out every Sunday. She has accessible classes on Inner Alchemy and Shadow Integration.

Whatever you may think about boring but real “time management,” Jill flips the lid and makes it all “time magic.” Jill’s passion for working with time so it supports your nature and your current season of life sparks hopeful curiosity. Working with time doesn’t have to be restrictive. It can actually be easy (and fun!).

Jill emphasizes that the point isn’t to focus on time “management” itself. The real focus is having an easeful, flowy, spacious life. You find this flow by working with where and how you are now, not by trying to fit into someone else’s system.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

• To Do list pillars

• How to balance Squirrel! energy

• Time Confetti lists

• Input days and output days

• When you tend to be creative vs. detail oriented

• Revering rest as a productivity tool

These tips reveal the possibilities for turning time management into time magic. To learn more about how to increase your productivity AND your rest, take Jill’s quiz to receive her top 3 time magic tips for where you are now.

For years Katharine Campbell Hirst wanted THE BOOK about how women create businesses differently, and it didn’t exist. Then she was waiting until she was a big enough vessel to write this book. A big ah-ha! came when she considered taking a researcher approach by interviewing women business owners with 7-, 8-, and 9-figure businesses that they run their own way.

This “quest” is called The Baubo Project, named after the goddess who helped Demeter get her mojo back after her daughter Persephone was abducted. Katharine embodies her own teachings in this project by letting go of timelines and rules about how a book is done. The book is birthing itself on its own timeline.

As a coach for entrepreneurs and executives, Katharine’s work lives at the intersection of business and psychology. In this episode, she shares her three stages of coaching as well as how to get unstuck when fallow periods arrive.

Her invitation: what if you just started from what feels good and pulls you in the first place? Her quest is to help women remember how they create when they create in their own way. This episode will help you release any notions of a “business playbook” and remember that you can do things your own way. Bring on the self authority and trust!

Katharine took the Force of Nature Quiz. She’s an Earthquake, here to shake things up. She has the unique gift of seeing underneath what’s happening as women try to fit in a masculine world. Listen in to this conversation to wake up and be reminded that it’s never too late to build a new thing or rebuild an existing business from a place of alignment.

Rachel Budde, founder of the natural, head-to-toe body care line Fat and The Moon, sees the world through the eyes of nature, because we are nature. YOU are nature. This statement captures what she wants to heal in the world. Seeing ourselves as something other than nature or seeing nature as something we have to fight or beat back, creates more separation within us, in our lives and in our world.

In this conversation with Rachel, a passionate herbalist who also runs a successful product-based business founded on her values of nourishment, we discuss business as an act of optimism needed to counterbalance pain in the world. Business itself is a very creative entity. How we use it is up to us! It can be a tool for good as well as curiosity.

This episode is filled with perspectives that will shift how you see the world, your business, body, and challenges.

Rachel drops deep wisdom on:

• Understanding digestion and how other natural processes can help shift cultural paradigms,

• Micro-practices as the practical way to stay self centered in a busy life,

• Pushing leading to paralysis because it’s a short-term depletion cycle ,

• The important skill of resilience,

• Business being a microcosm of what you can apply to your life, and

• Different fuels being needed for different phases of life and business.

In this conversation, Rachel shares how often we can’t think our way through challenges that arise. We have to open our awareness and take in something new, often surprising. This is how we shift. Tune in to begin softening and experiencing this magic.
