Love Your Enthusiasm

This is not the one-year anniversary episode Britt had hoped to share. Instead, it is the show's final episode. After 45 fantastic conversations, Britt has decided it is best to no longer put her energy into creating the show. 

At the end of the day, Britt is a life enthusiast, which means that she wants to pour herself into living it. In the last episode of Love Your Enthusiasm, you will hear more about how Britt came to make this tough decision, why she knows it is the right one, and the value of slowing things down. 

Thank you so much for sharing your enthusiasm, and being part of this memorable journey!

Business and mindset coach for coaches, Jennifer Trask, is enthusiastic about helping entrepreneurs live joyous lives. She is an award-winning coach and has spent over a decade helping business owners build mindsets that move them forward.
 
In this episode, Jennifer walks us through her entrepreneurial journey and the breakthroughs she had along the way. We talk about training yourself to see joyful moments in your day, the myth of job security, why being joyous does not mean ignoring the “bad” emotions, and what we can do if we are feeling stuck in our current situations.
 
We spend most of our waking hours working, so why would we not want to enjoy what we do? As Jennifer highlights, being joyful is a choice, and if we commit and re-commit to feeling it day in and day out, our business and personal lives will flourish.

Non-diet nutrition and body image coach, Tanya Mark, is an advocate for the body respect and anti-diet movement. She works to redefine health and helps her clients take the focus off the scale by teaching them gentle nutrition practices and ways to honor their unique genetic blueprint.

In this episode, Tanya shares her journey with us and how she came to unlearn some of the harmful ideas she held around what health and wellness are. From being obsessed with clean eating to feeling liberated and tuned into her body, Tanya’s path has given her a deep empathy for the struggles many of her clients go through. We also talk about navigating social media and representations of wellness, diet culture, and accepting your body at varying stages of our lives.
 
It is an unfortunate reality that as women, we will most likely struggle with our body image at one point or another and try “healthy” things that may actually do more harm than good. When we can learn to tune into our bodies and care for them with love, we can define health on our own terms.

Roxana Radulescu is the Chief Game-Changer and Founder of All Personal, a training, coaching, and consulting company. She is passionate about helping people strengthen their skills muscles so they can flourish and live in alignment.
 
In this episode, Roxana talks about her enthusiasm for learning, and how being shy when she was younger sharpened her observational powers and ultimately led her to the path she is now on. Roxana also shares her analogy of skills muscles, why they can be compared to our physical muscles and the importance of acknowledging what you are good at.

We live in a world that lends itself to comparison, and we may think that our unique gifts are not valuable, but that could not be further from the truth. As Roxana’s message highlights, when we tune into our skills and work on them, we can shine our light as bright as is possible.

Jackie Steele is an intersectional diversity educator and advocate, feminist thought leader, political scientist, and the CEO of enjoi Diversity & Inclusion Consulting. Through Jackie’s extensive research and work around bringing new paradigms into existence, Jackie has become a champion for diversity.

Diversity and inclusion have become a more commonly discussed topic in recent years. While we have made a great deal of headway, many systems remained unchanged.

In this episode,  Jackie offers us a look at what sparked her passion for diversity and innovation and how her work has reflected this. We also touch on democracy and why we should not give up on our governments, the false narratives around diversity and innovation, and the importance of creating safe spaces for marginalized people to flourish. 

True diversity and inclusion are not a quick-fix. Because of how deeply entrenched systems of oppression are, there is no silver bullet. Taking a systematic, thorough, and patient approach to change, as Jackie does, will result in meaningful and sustained shifts.

Imposter syndrome does not go away when we are chasing our goals and dreams. In fact, this can sometimes aggravate it.

In this episode, Britt draws on advice from previous guests—Kate Johnston, Alison Armstrong, Case Lane—about imposter syndrome and weaves in her own experiences as well.

Britt talks about some of the common triggers of imposter syndrome, along with ways you can manage these feelings, including adjusting your expectations, shifting your definition of success, and celebrating what you have already accomplished.

If we learn to treat ourselves with kindness and compassion, we can revel in just how brilliant we are and move past these dark internal battles.

Owner and CEO of Loyobo FIT, Courtney McCarthy, is passionate about getting women to truly love their bodies by creating a non-judgmental and open fitness space where exploration and community are a fundamental part of the experience.

Pervasive and normalized toxic diet culture, along with unattainable health and beauty standards, feeds into the self-loathing relationship we have with our bodies where we are constantly chasing impossible goals. Not only does that take us out of the present moment, but we never truly feel grateful for our bodies as they are.

Despite what we are programmed to believe, we are all beautiful just as we are. Courtney's approach to health is going a long way in helping us unlearn many of the false beliefs that ultimately steal so much of our joy. If we can step into what makes us unique, we will see our power and be able to celebrate our bodies for all that they can do.

Founder, entrepreneur, writer, and podcaster Case Lane, is enthusiastic about guiding others towards achieving lifestyle freedom. She started her company, Ready Entrepreneur, to help people design the life that they want on their own terms, through creating their own online businesses.

A former diplomat and legal professional, Case bravely decided to venture out on her own and she is passionate about teaching the lessons she has learned along the way. 

Working for yourself is not easy. But for some of us, we would not have it any other way. Case is one of those people—she firmly believes that if more of us did the work we wanted to do, the world would be in a better place.

As the past year has shown us, doing business online is not going anywhere and creating something that fulfills you is more possible than ever before. Yes, it is overwhelming when you get started. But as Case reminds us, you don’t have to do it all at once. Pick one thing, go for it, and see where it takes you.

Entrepreneur and mindset mentor, Iris Cherng, is the Founder and CEO of Honey Belle, a natural skincare line that she started at just 23. Iris is a passionate, ambitious, big dreamer who wants others to find their purpose just as she found hers. 

Many of us struggle with feeling like we are not enough, that we haven’t achieved enough. But, guess what? You are more than enough. Imagine what would be possible if you took the energy you spent focusing on what you have not achieved and poured it into creation and exploration instead.

On your entrepreneurial journey, you will encounter self-doubt and fear of failure. You have two choices: Either you give in and let these feelings hold you back, or you get clear on what you want and take steps to get you to where you want to be. Iris is an admirable example of what is possible if we choose to go down that second road.

Author and yoga therapist, Jennie Lee, has a passion for all things yoga and spiritual self-development. As a lifelong student of yoga, yoga philosophy, and spiritual psychology, Jennie has an extensive toolbox of practices that allow for optimal wellbeing and purposeful living.

Spirituality and self-development are terms we are hearing more frequently than ever before. While everyone has a different lens that they view this through, Jennie’s position is that spiritual self-development is about our soul’s pathway to remembering our true essence. This means that we all know what our purpose is and that it is within all of us to connect to who we truly are.

Jennie sheds light on her meditation practice and how you can start one. She discusses why we should all be cultivating discipline rather than fearing it, along with ways we might carry the shift in consciousness we experienced over the past year into the rest of our lives.
 
Spiritual self-development is a lifelong practice. When we put in this great work, we come back to ourselves and connect with our spiritual essence and purpose.
