The Soulful Business Show™ with Cailen Ascher

Today I'm bringing you a very special conversation with my dear friend, Mandy Barbee. When we recorded this episode back in early spring, Coronavirus was just starting to take hold in the US. And now, two months later, this content is even more timely.

Mandy Barbee is the founder of Palladium Mind and a certified clinical hypnotherapist and NLP professional and coach. She earned a MA in Economics in 2009, and a BS in Economics from the US Air Force Academy in 2005.

She studied neuro linguistic programming extensively in London and New Mexico, and holds more than 500 in-residence hours of training + education as a certified hypnotherapist. She is also a certified yoga instructor. Mandy brings all her diverse training and knowledge together to help people overcome anxiety and limiting beliefs that are holding them back from their best lives.

During this episode, Mandy and I chat about...

• Practical tips for overcoming fear and releasing anxiety
• The secret to conquering any obstacle in your way
• How to use hypnotherapy to retrain your brain

If you're feeling fear about the state of the world and what that means for your business, this episode is a must-listen!

We're back with another live coaching session, this time with Wendy, a previous member of my Uplifted™ Mastermind who joined Success Made Simple™ Accelerator for the continued support and accountability.

During this coaching call, we talked about how to guide her audience from free subscribers to paid clients. Right after our call, Wendy took immediate action and is already running a free challenge to move her audience towards her signature offer.

Today on the podcast we're doing something that we've never done before, and I think you're really going to like it!

We are bringing you a live coaching session with Karolina, a member of my Success Made Simple™ Academy monthly membership. During this coaching call, we strategized about how exactly she could set up her overall funnel to lead her clients towards transformation they are looking for.

It has been such an honor to support you over the past fourteen days through practices that help you cultivate calm, both personally and professionally. It's a challenging time for many of us, and bringing up a lot of fear and anxiety about the future. It can feel like our bigger visions and our bigger dreams are being put on hold.

So today for our final day, our theme is DREAM.

I want you to reignite that dream within you, especially if you've been putting it on the shelf or feeling distant from it. Bring out your favorite journal, find a quiet spot for a few minutes and journal about your vision for your life, your dream for yourself, for your family, for your business.

With love, Cailen

During these changing times, we are finding ourselves taking on new and expanded roles in different areas of our lives. As more of the world practices social distancing, you may find that your family, friends, and community rely on you even more. But today, I want to encourage you to focus on what you need in order to show up fully.

Today, our theme is Replenish.

We're keeping it short today -- sit in a quiet place, maybe even with a cup of tea, and write down a list of at least 10 ways that you can replenish yourself and your energy. Then, try to pick ONE of those things and give yourself that gift today, or this week, if you can!

Over the past week and a half together, we've walked through several different practices that you can use to feel more calm and grounded in the midst of all the uncertainty that is swirling around us right now. I really hope these practices are serving you!

Today, our theme is Prioritize.

When we think about prioritization, sometimes there can be a very masculine feel to it. Instead, I want you to bring some lightness to today's exercise! In today's video, I'm sharing a really simple tool that is going to help you make some clear decisions about what are priorities right now and what are not priorities right now.

We're focusing on a light-hearted practice today: PLAY!

Embracing play will help infuse your day with a sense of lightness and bring some levity to the current situation.

If you have children, say yes at least one time today to engage with them.

If you have a pet, be present and play with them.

Or if you know a way that you enjoy letting loose and being playful, do that. Do whatever is calling to you and speaking to your heart today.

Today's theme is a big one for me, and I know it's really challenging for a driven, ambitious woman entrepreneur like you to let go and to be open to whatever needs to play out. Right now life can feel so out of our control, and we can be hungry for ways to feel more calm and peace in our lives.

So for today, we're focusing on the theme of Surrender.

Don't worry! Your task today isn't simply to "go surrender". Instead, I'm sharing on of my favorite, simple practices:

Create A To-Do List for The Universe

If you've been part of my community for awhile, you know that I believe in the cosmic forces around us that support us and lift us up. That life is for us, and that we can trust life. And that's why I love this idea of creating a to-do list for The Universe. ​ And in today's episode, I'm sharing my process!

I guarantee you are going to feel so much better after doing this! This doesn't have to be a lengthy exercise. Take 5 to 10 minutes today to create your to-do list for the Universe.

As we find ourselves in the midst of these uncertain times, we also find that many of us are adding more to our already full plates. Where we may have usually had the help of schools, babysitters, and babysitters, we're not being called to take on those roles as well. With everything coming your way, especially in this moment, it can often feel like we just need to "suck it up" and get it done.

So today's theme is going to be especially challenging for us capable, driven women!

Today's theme is ASK.

If responsibility distribution with your partner is a little off-kilter right now, ask your partner for help. And be specific! Your request for help will often be better received when phrased "Hey, could you handle dinner tonight? I would really appreciate a night off." instead of "Hey! Could you help me out around here?!"

If you're struggling to get work done with the kids home, simply try asking, "Hey, could you play with your toys in the other room while I do some work?"

If you're struggling with something and need advice, call a friend and ask, "Hey, do you have a few minutes to help me talk through this situation?"

Ask for what you need.

There is no way you can do it all by yourself, whether that means manage a household or grow a multiple six-figure business! Get comfortable asking for support. Voicing your needs and sharing that vulnerability is a muscle that improves over time.

Up until now, we've been sharing really simple practices that are supportive of you, the woman behind the business. Now we're starting to transition into practices that not only support you, but also will support your household and business.

Today's theme is organize, but we're not talking about cleaning out the garage or organizing your junk drawer. Instead, we're talking about the importance of creating a feel-good schedule that really supports where you are right now.
