Softpreneur

We want to collaborate on The Softpreneur Podcast with you! So if this concept of "business as stewardship" hits for you, we'd love to know how you are stewarding the earth, the people around you, and your business. Send us a DM on IG, leave a comment, or shoot Dawn an email at [email protected] and fill us in!

Are human beings inherently bad, exploitative, consuming machines... or is there a chance that we might exist in harmony and steward each other and the earth as we grow our businesses? Dawn and Elyssa go deep on the concept of business as stewardship, musing on how to do life differently, whether it's the way we consume, the way we collaborate, how we establish our communities and hold the collective and love. As well as our creative responsibility to create the world we want to live in, on a small scale, so that the large scale can reflect a more open-hearted, loving, and collaborative way of being.

We Explore:

• The 3Cs of Business As Stewardship and how these principles speak to your divine service in this world.
• How being intentional about what we consume and supporting small businesses can contribute to a more sustainable and compassionate world.
• How the idea of "leave no trace" might make you feel bad to be human, and how that doesn't help anyone step up, steward, or nourish their connection to the earth.
• The concept of A World Brotherhood Colony and why Yogananda said "Environment is stronger than willpower".
• The collective shift toward stewardship, cultivating relationships with nature, and how millennials are leaving city life behind.
• The radical, mindblowing things that happen when you create and collaborate with likeminded humans to create something bigger than you (or than you could have ever imagined).

Eyla Cuenca has built a following on Instagram by being a bit of a rebel in the birth space. A thought leader to the core, Eyla is a holistic birth guide, Childbirth Educator, Doula, health freedom advocate and birth trauma alchemist. Eyla creates polarizing posts that really help to grow her following... all in service of creating more conversation, connection, and sovereignty for everyone involved in the birth experience. Eyla gave us the inside scoop on how she creates a strong container to hold herself with love, especially when what she posts is divisive and polarizing. Plus how she grew her business from in person to online, and her manifestation process when it comes to growing an audience. Eyla's social media strategy is proof that if you're not afraid of ruffling feathers, you can build a strongly successful business online... in a way that works for YOU.

Eyla's work is dedicated to offering guidance that supports women and men in returning to their deepest knowing about birth, individual sovereignty, and the body’s innate intelligence.

With a BA in Anthropology and Ethnographic photography from Bennington College… Eyla studied family systems and is passionate about helping change the conversion around the way women birth. She brings an anthropological lens to her work, with an eye for institutional critique. Eyla trained with the AAHCC founded by Robert A. Bradley, MD, where she specialized as a Birth Educator and Doula. Her work as a Guardian Ad Litem for the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida as well as attending over 200 births as a Doula – in both hospital and home settings – brought her into health freedom and advocacy work. Eyla thoroughly believes that it is everyone’s right to have access to empowering education from conception to parenting.

Stace used to think "influencers were cringe," and now she's a social media influencer who tries out the world's weirdest wellness hacks, and effortlessly grows her following through the practice of shadow work, which she learned through To Be Magnetic's process for neural manifestation. We go deep in this episode, from how to "hack the algorithm" by clearing your subconscious blocks. To recognize that the gift of cancel culture might just be learning how to cultivate a DGAF mentality, and vote for yourself first.

From physical trainer to kundalini yogini, to active wear e-com retailer, to red light therapy, carnivore, and beyond, Stace is a wellness influencer (and serial entrepreneur) on a mission to support the collective to DO our shadow work so we can show up as the most authentic versions of our ourselves.

For the last decade, Carly Banks has been helping women find body, mind, spirit, nervous system, and hormonal balance through sharing the path of Ayurveda.

In early 2024, one of Carly's videos went viral on Instagram and TikTok (garnering millions of views) -- and in the last ~6 months, her Instagram following grew from 3500 to 74k followers. All along the way, she has kept it real. Carly truly lives her practice of simple, daily ritual and is also a brilliant business woman who knows that social media is just one part of a thriving business ecosystem.

Carly shares how the best way to grow your business as a wellness practitioner is by honing your expertise in person, so that when you're ready to expand your online business, you have SO MUCH value to share with your audience.

One of the biggest wins?

Her absolutely viral video was an education piece where she was being EXACTLY herself!

Tune in and hear us chat about finding your authentic stride with social media, the sustainable way to grow your business, why nurturing your email list is SO essential, and how a huge following doesn't necessarily translate to a thriving business.

Send us a DM on Instagram @allconnected.agency and tell us what you think about social media, personal sovereignty, and victim consciousness as a Softpreneur.

Yes, social media sucks. But when you recognize your role in the drama triangle and take sovereignty over your relationship with this tech overlord behemoth, you can use social media as a catalyst to your spiritual & business growth, rather than a villain to be escaped at all costs. In this episode, the gals elucidate some of the reasons social media IS a villain, then dig into some of the ways it can be seen as both a personal blessing and business blessing. They also give you some of the clues you need to understand when you're stuck in victim consciousness. If marketing is a healing modality, social media in and of itself can be a spiritual practice. Because when you become more visible, your business benefits in SO many ways. This game changing episode is the beginning of our series on Softpreneurship and Social Media, so if you've been on the fence about whether to go all in on social, give this episode a listen, and your nervous system a rest.
