- Online Visibility and Marketing For The Rest Of Us
I think we can all agree that the online marketing space (personal brands, coaches etc) has a bias towards specific privilege and people living in bodies with those privilege.
This episode, we’re breaking down the immensely important topic of how certain body types, racial identities and abilities are more "acceptable" and "allowed" to be visible and market their work, or to be on stages delivering keynotes or creative endeavours.
I share actionable tools and tips on how to work towards feeling comfortable in your own skin AND how we can work together to create some real change in the industry ~ so all voices are heard.Thank you for listening!Download the FREE How To Be Camera Confident E-book HERE!Check out my People Pleasing Interrupted Masterclass HERECheck out my website HERE20 min - How To Navigate Growth When You Have An Inner Critic
Navigating growth as a coach, thought leader or creative and really, any kind of human…. is challenging at the best of times, but what if you also have a strong inner critic?

Not being seen is a deep wound for many, wanting to be seen is a deep desire for many, and being seen can bring up some big feelings and embodied survival responses that can be really challenging to manage … what a conundrum.
This Embodied Leader Episode is all about the trauma of visibility and I’m so glad you’re listening!In this episode, we unpack:- The importance of being valued and seen in our truth, both personally and professionally.- What happens when our desire to be seen is greater than our capacity (trauma)?
- My own experience with visibility in my business.- The impact of systemic oppression and embodied trauma when it comes to being seen.- Why “just show up more” is sh!t advice, and what to do instead.- How seeing ourselves is an important step towards being seen by others.

Finding the courage to be in your brilliance isn't always the easiest thing to do... systemic narratives and personal lived experience might say "that's not safe" ~ and so we hold back, turn our flame down, suppress what we really want to say.

"Our story follows our state". Deb Dana (Polyvagal Theory)
Sometimes we don't feel safe to be "in our bodies" ~ that goes for us as coaches and leaders AND the people we support. When we don't feel safe, our brain takes over ~ creating stories, holding onto old patterns and thoughts and really... keeping us stuck.Listen to this episode to understand more about what to do when we (or our clients) are stuck in story and can't seem to move past it!Notable moments: 4 ways to build greater capacity towards felt sensation, so you can move out of story and move past what's keeping you stuck.Here is the link to The Embodied Leader Incubatorhttps://elisebesler.com/The-Embodied-Leader13 min - Why There’s No Such Thing As A Safe Space
Episode 12: Mistakes I've Made As a Coach and Leader (Assuming I Was A Safe Space), ruffled a few feathers.
It was the most responded to episode thus far. There was MUCH conversation and discourse about why it's not ok for coaches and leaders to claim our spaces are safe.Not everyone agreed.And that's ok.Change is scary and takes some time to wrap our heads around ~ AND sometimes needs further clarification... so I whipped up this episode, with 3 reasons why there's no such thing as a safe space and 3 antidotes to support more aligned harm free action.Here is the link I mentioned in the episode!https://elisebesler.com/the-embodied-leader13 min - Mistakes I’ve Made As A Coach And Leader And How I Fixed Them (Pt 4 ”Inner Work Addict”)
"Do the inner work" is a phrase that's thrown around a lot in the coaching industry.
Initially, it was probably to be helpful but in the end... often causes more harm than help.Listen to the final instalment of a series designed to share how we ALL get pulled into toxic traits and tools as coaches, and how we can pull ourselves out of that, so we can create harm free spaces in our work with clients.Notable: 3 ways "do the inner work" causes harm and a possible solution to get us on a more sustainable path, together.https://elisebesler.com/the-embodied-leader11 min
