Living Brave

WELCOME TO EP 27!

HOW to build an engaged community?

The typical answer: Have a great offer, have amazing content, and be consistent.

Eh, true but not juicy enough. I want to give you something every other coach isn’t already saying, bc without the following 3 key elements, you won’t grow that nourishing community that I know if you’re a soulful entrepreneur, is a big piece of your WHY.

Community isn’t something you decide to build & happens once you follow the step by step approach. It’s earned. Every day, your people are choosing.

Remember, the leader with the best ideas doesn't win.

The leader with the biggest heart, with the most faith in their community, with the greatest capacity for random acts of kindness, wins.

This episode is for you if you’re seeking action items to step into authentic leadership and build a loyal following around your purpose-led business.

Due to popular demand, Living Brave is back with another interview with my Dad, the one and only Dan Delventhal. This is a feel-good, story-filled conversation with one the kindest and most entertaining person I know. 

Dan speaks to a time in his life where he worked multiple full-time jobs, including at a mental institution, while going to school full-time. We share some of the most important stories that have brought us closer with our loved ones who have crossed over, and will push even the greatest of skeptics to believe in something bigger. The man who taught me how to tell stories shares his wisdom on the art of story, and why it matters. 

My Dad has always reminded me to approach situations with empathy and humor, and I hope this episode invites you to do the same.

Soshy Adelstein is a wellness coach who helps women let go of harmful beliefs around dieting, eating, exercise, and weight. On this episode, we learn about her story growing up in the Orthodox Jewish community, leaving home at 17, and fending for herself in New York City. This talk is for anyone who is navigating guilt, shame, and self-depreciation or who finds themselves "self-sabotaging" or caught up around food and their body. Soshy offers a framework for looking at unpacking our relationship with dieting, food, and body image through the lens of healing trauma. As always we hold nothing back, speaking to our rock bottoms, and sharing our process right as we're in it.

Courtney Brame is back for part two to speak to current events around racial justice and equality and the Black Live Matters movement. He is the founder of Something Positive for Positive People, a podcast and non-profit fighting stigma and shame around sexuality and STIs. 

On this episode, you will hear a vulnerable and uncomfortable conversation around racism, activism, and the parallels between herpes and race, and I hope it empowers you to have more of these important discussions in your own life. Courtney offers an important message for anyone asking, “what can I do,” and invites you to aim not just to do better, but to do differently, become comfortable with conflict, get angry, and inconvenience yourself.

Courtney Brame is the Founder of Something Positive for Positive People a podcast and non-profit that started as a suicide prevention resource for people navigating a herpes diagnosis. It's evolved to offer resources and facilitate emotional healing and community building for those facing stigma and shame around sexuality and STIs at large. 

We talk about his experience with identity as a “sex-positive, black, non-monogamous man from the mid-west.” What is it about STIs that drives people to feel so small and isolated? Topics include trauma, vulnerability, the importance of anchoring in your values, sexuality, inner work, and disclosure. 

If you’re in a place where you don’t know who you are anymore, congratulations! Listen to this episode to relieve yourself from the pressures of shame and stigma and remember that you are not alone. Your identity cannot be boxed into a label, and certainly not a diagnosis!
