The Feminine Lens™

I have made a lot of changes to my business and podcasts over the past year. Some things have worked, and some things haven't worked as well as I'd like. That is just part of business! 

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and explaining what I've learned from totally pivoting my business & podcast in 2020. Long story short, The Feminine Lens is ending and you can find me (and all my wonderful guests) over at Women in the Business Arena, my long-running, successful business podcast!

While I am all for leading with our strengths, I think it is also super important to learn how to care for them, too. Just because we have a natural gift for something doesn’t mean we can ride it into the ground. We have to find ways to recharge, even when we are doing work that comes more naturally to us!

To expand on a wonderful month of conversations about strengths & genius, in this episode I’m chatting with Brilliance Strategist Katya Nicholas about how to follow your strengths to your zone of genius. 

Katya and I talk about how she uses Clifton Strengths with her clients, why our superpowers can also give us blindspots, and how we can create an unshakeable belief in ourselves and our talents.

Are you working in your zone of excellence, or your zone of genius? With your learned skills, or your innate ones?

This is a fundamental question to answer if you want a business that feels full of ease, inspiration and fulfillment rather than burnout and frustration.

As part of our month on strengths & genius, I have the honor of chatting with brilliant self-discovery coach Kourtney Thomas all about living & working from your natural strengths.

We talk about building a business around your innate talents (rather than your learned skills), what happens when we let go of expectations, and Kourtney’s favorite strategies for getting back in touch with your strengths and desires.

Magic happens when women stop focusing on their weaknesses and start leaning all the way into their strengths instead. Mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even financially - this is such a game changer.

This episode is all about what keeps us from living and working in our innate strengths. We’ll talk about how to turn the volume down on your inner critic and the importance of practicing self-compassion as you learn to align with your true genius.

When we lean into our natural strengths, we create businesses that feel better to run, deliver better results and build more wealth. It is a win-win-win!

In this episode I am laying the groundwork for our conversations about strengths and genius, including why focusing on our weaknesses holds us back from true fulfillment, alignment and wealth. 

We will talk about why you are totally worthy exactly as you are now, and why this means that you should tap into your innate zone of genius instead of what you have simply learned to be good at.

We have been talking about embodiment all month, but this is still a challenging practice for so many of us. What can we do when being in our body feels scary, painful, or even triggering?

This week our resident somatic therapist, Laura Shook-Guzman, joins us to talk about what to do when embodiment feels difficult. We discuss what we’re taught about our bodies and how this and other trauma can make it hard to be embodied. We also talk about the importance of gentleness and patience when working to heal the relationship with the body, and why it is so worthwhile for women to step into bodily healing and power.

Embodiment is one of the most feminine practices we can bring into the world of business, because we are almost always encouraged to separate from our bodies throughout the workday (and beyond). 

I have another panel of intuitive, intelligent women joining me to talk about embodiment: Cass Ghiorse, LaQueshia Jeffries, and Kate Woolsey!

We have an amazing discussion about how each of us brings embodiment into our work and what embodiment means to us. 

We also talk about navigating the feelings, trauma and perceptions that can come up when we express ourselves fully as women in the world of business.

I am so excited to dive into embodiment with today’s guest, because this is a conversation that can benefit everybody with a body!

Janet Farnsworth, body empowerment coach and shame buster, helps women become best friends with their bodies.

Janet and I talk about why we put too much stock in how our bodies look, rather than how they feel, and why we sometimes disassociate from our bodies. We also dive into the benefits of being in the body, even if it sometimes feels scary or uncomfortable. And we share some of our favorite personal practices for getting more embodied and returning to awareness of our beautiful bodies.

I am so looking forward to exploring this month’s topic with all of you because I think it is one of the most overlooked ideas in the business world. 

This month our conversations all center around embodiment: what it means, how it feels, and why it is so important, especially for women in business. 

If this is a concept that you are not familiar with yet, don’t worry! I will share several frameworks & definitions of embodiment in this episode so that you can find one that resonates with you.

This month is such a treat because we have a group of total powerhouse women together to dish all about wealth, worthiness, and doing business with a feminine lens! 

My guests are the amazing Ifeoma “Iffy” Ibekwe (@thejustincaselawyer), Jess Joswick (@backbonebusiness), and Meghan Corneal (@wildhearthfeminist).

We talked about where women get their ideas about wealth & worthiness and why we have to deprogram these often negative beliefs. We also chat about the importance of taking a holistic approach to business and carving out space for joy, rest, hobbies and connection. 

We also debunk the idea of “glass-ceiling feminism” and how we can learn to be guided by our innate worthiness - not somebody else’s idea about what we should be doing or who we should be.
