Victoria was just 13 when she embraced yoga as a spiritual practice, growing up in Northern Ireland during the thick of the Troubles. When she coaches yoga and Pilates instructors to stretch their bodies as well as their minds, she is well suited to speak to the somatic experience of trauma.

Parenting is a leadership role, which begins with leading ourselves, parenting ourselves, loving ourselves. Like leading our businesses, crossing each new threshold calls us into confronting our stories and beliefs. Sarah's words of consistency and remembering our vision illustrate the power of getting support to become whatever you want to become.

I am 10 days since testing negative for Covid and no surpise, symptoms still linger. But the trickiest for me has been the Mind Management. A symptom not talked about is anxious, negative "doom" thoughts. Beyond "brain fog," I experienced it as "I cannot see a way through here;" feelings of blank, stuck, stagnation, which led to feeling discouraged.   

The medicine: 1) Don't blame yourself, this is a symptom you will eventually move through just like the fever and cough. 2) Release the pressure to keep moving while you heal. Trust that it is safe to REST and serve from your fuller self. 3) Find your Wonder Twins and activate the power of community support. It's safe to ask for help before you're at the absolute end of your rope.   Guess what: we get to apply these principles every day, at any moment we are doubting ourselves or uncertain of the next move.   Did you experience a similar trip when you had Covid? How did you find your way through the mind trash?

Maison Leigh teaches oncology yoga, going far beyond the athletic poses associated with gym yoga. Her group membership program is built to disrupt the loneliness that comes with experiencing cancer, offering support and presence through a difficult journey.

Asha shared so many gems during our conversation. She talked about designing her business to fit the life she wants (instead of vice versa - as many of us build our lives to suit our work), the power of changing the questions we ask ourselves, and the truth that our decisions are never final - we can always choose to change our minds.

Jesse's presence and perspective was so energizing. We talked about the power of reconnoitering, of owning your point of view, and the importance of how our work makes people feel. He also shared about cultivating an expansive relationship to possibility. Everything counts! This one is juicy. How do you reset? How do you encourage yourself?

Hannah’s story is proof that we don’t have to wait to begin following our dreams. Her inner knowing was guiding her since childhood, and her power to live from her truth has only grown from there. We talk resilience from heartbreak, trusting in right timing, and navigating affiliate deals with integrity.

Luisa Alberto, CEO of People First Finance, is not kidding about the people first in people first. We talked about showing up for yourself, leading a team you love, and the agency that financial dignity makes possible.

Pam shared about the importance of keeping good company - the ways that community reminds us who we are, and about the paradigm shift that is upon us. We talked about calling forward the divine feminine in all of us to build the systems and communities that will allow us to emerge from the compounding crises we are living in. This was a deep one, share your thoughts!

Do you struggle to uphold a high commitment to your clients while prioritizing your own self care? This is a conundrum for many values-led business owners. Lisa and I discussed this and more today, so have a listen to see if you catch any insights to help us out.  The podcast ends abruptly due to an audio mishap, but as we finished the conversation offline, Lisa made the astute observation that we jumped right into the struggle instead of staying in the usual arc of the podcast: beginning with your WHY and your greatest JOY. When tackling a business challenge, I know the power of rooting first into your why and your joy. If we get to be happy leaders of our business, then the shape of the business gets to form around us and not the other way around.
