We’re no strangers here when it comes to talking about the patriarchy and toxic capitalism. But how do we actually divest out of these systems of harm–especially as entrepreneurs?

It means opting out of typical “business-as-usual”, patriarchal norms like:

• exploitation and extraction
• hyper-productivity
• using guilt, scarcity, and shame to manipulate sales
• concentration of wealth

And instead, focus on feminist business practices that promote:

• collaborative and generative practices
• transparency and accountability
• consent and agency
• redistributing resources

 

Yes–it’s possible to build businesses without replicating and upholding harm and oppression. Instead, we can build wealth while generating power and resources for all of us!

 

My guest today, Lauren Elizabeth, is a Radical Courage Coach and Feminist Business Mentor. She helps coaches, healers and creatives own their unique brilliance and build online businesses that are aligned with their vision and values–without replicating patriarchal systems of harm.

 

Her clients are visionaries, system disruptors, and revolutionaries who are ready to deprogram from the Capitalist Routine, and use their work to shift and shape our world through their messaging, their offerings, and their business practices. At its core, Lauren’s work is about generating collective power, smashing the patriarchy, and building a culture where ALL OF US can thrive.

 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

 

• Why the “business-as-usual” paradigm isn’t good for anyone
• Does ethical or conscious capitalism actually exist?
• What are the four P’s? and how they support making our businesses more equitable and sustainable
• Tips to start applying feminist business practices–and one thing you can do today to embrace this in your own marketing
