The Other Side Of Trauma: Thriving In Business, Marriage and Motherhood x Bridal Store Owner and Wedding Dress Designer Marisza Cottam

Welcome to Liberation, a podcast for those taking their work deeper and higher by thriving not just surviving.

I’m your host, Autumn Bensette. At home, I’m a mom and when I’m here with you, I’m a Trauma-Certified Coach, Speaker, Teacher & Facilitator of Safe Space for women, mothers, service based business owners, online coaches and thought leaders who desire to return back to their heart, remember their wholeness and become their own source of validation so that the life and businesses they build is rooted in love, true inner peace and devotion to their personal truth.

In this show, I will be bringing you conversations with experts, leaders and healers who are living, breathing embodiments of their work, their wholeness and their sovereignty.

As well as offerings, community q&a’s, wisdom quickies and solo episodes where I share potent clips and transmissions from BTS coaching calls and live streams, answer questions you have for me and share a look into my own personal processes, perspectives and teachings that have been catalysts for me on my own journey.

I will be diving into the deep ends of life and facilitating challenging and uncomfortable conversations such as how unresolved childhood, intergenerational, sexual and religious trauma affects your business & ways of relating, conscious parenting, remothering yourself, and so much more. You can expect me to ask questions that invite you deeper into your own awareness and you may even hear people and opinions you disagree with.

I pray that through this space you can be initiated deeper into your own growth and healing, practicing discernment for what lands for you & what doesn’t and being open to expanding your own views and opinions on emotionally-charged topics.

I believe in the both/and here, all of our opinions, feelings, experiences and perspectives are valid and belong.

Through these conversations, learnings and teachings, I pray that you are able to return to your heart and remember who you were before you learned who you had to be. And that as you learn to integrate all parts of you, that you will embody a way of showing up for yourself and the life you were always destined for.

That you will be convicted in your truth & create from your fullest expression

That you allow your business to become a way of breathing your soul into humanity.  

That you will access true freedom & learn to feel safe in surrender

That you will be turned on again by your own essence and creations.

That you will learn how to be with what is

And that you will contribute in a way that is felt in the body and anchored in your inner wisdom…

If you’re willing to play,  be curious and ask yourself the hard questions too… then let’s dive in

This series is a place where you’re invited to explore the edges of your own sovereign truth as the hosts share theirs: their stories, concepts, ideas, and the things that have landed most in their hearts and nervous systems to impact their businesses, their relationships, and their lives.

On today's episode, Autumn and Alexandra explore the four common archetypes of entrepreneurial burnout because, well, burnout can be sneaky. It can be sneaky in the way it shows up, it can be sneaky in the way it develops, and it can be sneaky because it’s not always about doing, doing, doing more. They explore the archetypes that tend to lean towards burnout if left unchecked so that you, the listener, can see if you’re reflected in any of these.  Additionally, they give useful tips on how to approach understanding these archetypes and what may be at play in your life and your process.   What you can expect to hear more about in this episode:   How being “present” for others can lead to one of the most under-considered types of burnout    How certain unsuspecting patterns can lead to burnout, and why it happens    What happens when the thing that sparked your purpose becomes the thing that burns you out    Understanding both the light and shadow of each archetype so you can acclimate and find a balance that works for you    Where you may be carrying invisible weight that masks as service but leads to burnout    How to start to slow down the development of burnout based on your archetype    And so much more…   To connect deeper with Autumn, her community and offerings: IG: @autumnbensette  Check out my free Inner Nourishment Embodiment Guided Meditation to embody deeper self-love, peace and gratitude:  https://autumnbensette.podia.com/inner-nourishment-guided-embodiment-meditation
