In this episode, I’m sitting down with Jessica Hastings-Lesperance who is a woman of many talents. Jess is a real estate agent, a published author, and a trauma informed yoga instructor. When I sat down with Jess, I assumed we’d be chatting about her experience as a real estate entrepreneur. But instead, we took a deep dive into all things being an author. From picking the right publisher, to marketing after it’s published, Jessica is giving my aspiring authors out there everything they need to know to successfully publish. Everything in this episode is stuff I wish I had known before I set off on my own publishing journey three years ago.

Also, I couldn’t let Jess go without her telling me everything about what it means to be a trauma informed yoga instructor. We talk about regulating your nervous system, the importance of proper rest, and what somatic sensing is and why it’s important to learn.

Today, I have an incredible episode for you guys. I’m sitting down with Phoebe Pierpoint who is what I’m calling a business doctor. She helps founders and business owners diagnose issues in their companies, by first understanding their physical symptoms (aka operational areas of opportunity) and then also their “lifestyles,” (aka mindset of the founder, what traumas are holding them back etc.) so they can move past it and flourish. Pheobe approaches business from mindset first and strategy second, which is so fascinating to me. But also wildly fascinating is her journey getting to where she is today.

And what’s more, Pheobe is blessing your feeds with tips on going from the founder to CEO mindset, how to use failure as data, and how to overcome your emotional barriers.

This episode is fantastic for all my girls out there who think that your emotions are your enemy. If you’re experiencing plateau or downturn in your business, Pheobe shows you how to look inward, address the root of your issues, and then build strategies around that to thrive. We also chat about our own personal experience trusting our intuition, and rebalancing our feminine and masculine energy, so this is an episode you do NOT want to miss.
