In this episode, Jennifer gets raw about leaving a conference early, the fear that had been living in her body for years, and the moment she finally recognized the story underneath all of it.

She breaks down why your brain creates these narratives, how to instantly tell the difference between a story and a fact, and the four questions from Byron Katie's The Work that can completely dismantle a story that feels absolutely true.

If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, or high achiever who keeps hitting the same emotional walls, this episode is for you.

Stress and trauma—especially from early childhood—can create survival circuits in the brain, which drive coping mechanisms such as overworking, emotional withdrawal, and unhealthy habits like overeating or excessive perfectionism. Most people, particularly those in their 40s and 50s, often feel emotionally drained and disconnected because of stress. Dr. Laurel describes five levels of stress in the brain, from a calm, connected state (Level 1) to a stressed-out state (Level 5), where the emotional brain takes over. EBT helps shift individuals from a higher stress level to a more positive, calm state, where they can make better decisions.

The emotional brain influences decision-making and relationships, and simply relying on logic and hard work isn't enough to address deep emotional needs. Emotional well-being requires addressing the emotional circuits that control our reactions and behaviors. The goal of EBT is to teach individuals how to rewire these circuits for better emotional regulation, so they can improve their mental health, have stronger relationships, and overall life satisfaction.

EBT, as Dr Mellin says, helps in weight reducing and her idea with integrative approach—featuring small groups, app support, and telephone coaching—sets it apart from traditional psychotherapy.

Let’s see what is in our brains so we can live happier lives!

Dr. Laurel Mellin is a health psychologist who founded and developed emotional brain training (EBT). She is an associate clinical professor of family and community medicine and pediatrics at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Mellin has authored papers on the science and efficacy of EBT and is a New York Times bestselling author of four books on the method.

Dr. Nekeshia Hammond is a leadership development coach, mental wellness expert, and keynote motivational speaker who helps high performers navigate burnout, exhaustion, and resiliency. In this episode, she dives deep into the importance of self-care for maintaining mental, physical, and emotional well-being. It is important to recognize burnout and find personal ways to reset, it with the help of support. Jen and Dr. Nakeshia challenge the outdated "go, go, go" mentality and encourage us to embrace a more balanced approach to life, where self-care is not just an option, but a priority.

Dr. Nekeshia explains that the ‘baby steps approach’ is the only way to get lasting results. Women must overcome any guilt tied to self-care. If you’re feeling burned out and overwhelmed, taking small, but intentional steps each day will lead to lasting change and help you rediscover your balance and well-being. All of which is crucial for business owners.

Ellen Goldman, M.Ed., NBC-HWC, PCC, is a wellness coach, healthy lifestyle and weight loss coach, speaker, and author. She is passionate about serving others and helping them achieve their health and wellness goals.

Ellen explains that the real challenge lies in behavior change. Many people attempt to overhaul their lifestyles, but this approach often leads to burnout and failure. The key is mindset and motivation, which serve as the foundation for lasting change.

Ellen introduces her MAP framework—Mindset, Awareness, and Preparation—as the blueprint for sustainable health habits. The first step is shifting your mindset from "I don't have time for self-care" to "I make time for self-care."

Ellen also explains success in weight loss differently. It is a result of correcting overall lifestyle imbalances—such as stress, sleep, and exercise—rather than simply restricting food intake.

Start with small, manageable changes and embrace a mindset of long-term health; this will lead to both personal fulfillment and business success.

Drewbie Wilson is the CEO of Call the Damn Leads, a bestselling author, podcaster, consultant and mentor. He inspires leaders to become the most elite version of themselves.

Drewbie shares his transformation story from weighing over 300 pounds to losing 100 pounds—not just once, but twice. "The truth will set you free, even if it hurts sometimes," explaining how tough love from his wife and friend helped him change his unhealthy habits. He found the inspiration for this drastic change in entrepreneurial communities and motivational resources. He also developed the "Four Sixes Strategy"—a concept for balanced success that divides each day’s 24 hours into four parts: six hours for sleep, six for family or relationships, six for business, and six for self-care.

Since time is the one resource you can't buy more of, Drewbie shares insights on how we lose available time, how to audit your schedule to grow your business effectively, and tips on making each business day more impactful.

You can live whatever life you want if you're willing to do the work and make it sustainable.

Beate Cheleete is a podcast host, facilitator, author, business and growth strategist, and founder of "The Woman’s Code." She offers practical strategies, blueprints, and tools to enhance women’s leadership skills and amplify their impact. Beate simplifies complex processes into repeatable steps, helping women turn their talents into thriving businesses and seize career opportunities.

Beate shares her story, starting as a photographer in Germany and eventually selling her business for millions to Bill Gates. Now, she helps business owners develop systems and strategies to grow and scale their businesses. She explains what the Five-Star Success Blueprint is, why simplicity and clarity in business offers matter, and why business owners should adjust pricing, refine branding, and be flexible based on current market conditions.

All successful business owners often have a spiritual practice, which aligns with having a strong value system focused on service rather than material gains. Aligning spirituality with strategy always leads to strategic success. The strategy for each is to avoid hiring until you automate—setting up your processes, documents, and the entire system to ensure the work remains relevant and impactful.

Leadership is about showing up in the right way and letting others’ evaluations guide you.

⚠️ Who do I want to be as a leader? How you show up is measured by how others evaluate that. 30:44

Her expertise in business transition, succession, entrepreneurship, marketing, and M&A has been spotlighted in various media like Newsweek, Forbes, Yahoo! Finance, WTAE/abc, and more.

Marla Mervis Hartmann, is a coach, TedX speaker and creator of Love Your Body, Love Yourself. She shares her personal journey of struggling with restrictive dieting, over-exercising, and body dissatisfaction despite having a healthy physique. Women face societal pressures and diet culture that often lead to a cycle of criticism and control, particularly as the body changes through different life stages like menopause.

Marla says that all women should practice self-compassion and avoid being overly critical of our bodies. Healing involves slowing down, tuning into what the body truly needs, and addressing underlying fears of acceptance and authenticity. It is very important how we speak to ourselves, what we push into ourselves emotionally because that will reflect on the eating habits. 

Personal stories in this episode are heart-touching and "Death by chocolate," captures the emotional complexities tied to food. Marla shared tips for cultivating self-love and body acceptance. We are all in different shapes and sizes, but what matters is the peace and love you give to yourself. 

Show Notes:
🍇 Marla struggled with a lot of restricting dieting: she was orthorexic, and her food had to look absolutely perfect. 2:59
⚠️ For a lot of people, accepting your body feels like giving up, but acceptance means changing the whole game. 5:42
🤯 Diet culture pushes the narrative that something is wrong with us if we have extra fat. 11:06
🪞 We want to be in control of our bodies in a way that is loving: mirror fasting. 13:19
😇 It's powerful that we can love our bodies as they are: it's not okay to normalize being mean to ourselves. 19:10
👵 How Jennifer's grandma dealt with food. 22:32
🍫 Food helps us deal with our emotions, but it shouldn't be the only thing. 25:57
🍨 We want to change the pattern of jumping over the emotions to get to the food: the reasons we do it. 29:59
⚡ With her clients, Marla would slow down and find the root of the punishment. 34:37

Cindy Carrillo is the CEO of Finding Your Nxt, a business coach, and a rancher. She shares her journey from being an entrepreneur working with Fortune 500 companies to completely changing her lifestyle by buying a ranch in Colorado.

Creatives and business owners manage a lot of things at once, and proper planning is crucial for productivity, but also for creativity. Katy and Jennifer share their experiences in creating business planners and which tips and tricks you can use to make the best out of your day, week, and year.  They also discuss why gentle structure in scheduling your day is important and allows creativity to flow naturally.

Every day, you must ask yourself what can move the needle in your business, and should be addressed with priority, what can be done later or by someone else? These are all critically important because over-scheduling can damage the business. Use time blocking as a tool to more realistically maintain daily goals and avoid over-commitment.

And don’t forget, if your current methods aren't working, try new ones! Jennifer’s Best Planner Ever is an amazing paper option, and Artful Agenda is an incredible digital option!  Both planners are there to help you tailor the planning system that will fit your unique needs and work style.  Never stop planning!

Founder of OwnersUP, Tanya Alvarez, helps B2B service-based founders solve their biggest challenges through facilitated peer groups. Tanya realized the power of a well-set accountability system when she founded her first company which grew to $1M in its first year. 

Accountability is not sexy, nor fun for most entrepreneurs. They feel ashamed and burned out, and usually avoid holding themselves accountable. As Tanya explains, no one can do this work on their own. She has a different blueprint for accountability that avoids shaming. Her accountability groups help people have work-life balance, achieving goals and even finding the right partners.

She shares stories and tips on setting accountability correctly to shift mindset, overcome perfectionism, and facilitate groups in a supportive way. Community, celebration, and sharing of experiences make accountability more do-able and effective.

T. Mark Mayer is a psychotherapist, master of NLP, and consultant specializing in conflict resolution, authentic management, and business coaching. He shares his journey of pursuing success through various high-profile corporate roles and starting his own companies, only to find that his unhappiness comes from trying to live up to the expectations of others. This led him to become a psychotherapist, which helped him realize the importance of connecting with his authentic self. This journey inspired him to help others with his work and the book "The Art of Being Authentic."

What is the power of language and changing our ‘I have to’s’ towards more positive ‘I choose to’s’ and why trying different systems is not helpful without working within yourself? Why goals must have a meaningful purpose beyond just achieving another goal.

Dr. Linette Montae is a top-tier strategic and profitability partner specializing in scaling the authority, profitability and legacy of underrepresented CEOs, leaders, and entrepreneurs. She is the NSBA Leadership Council, CEO, speaker, and author.

Dr. Lynette shares her 40-year journey in entrepreneurship, consulting for various businesses, including major corporations like Marriott and Avis. Being a woman of color in male-driven industries was very hard even though she had two master's degrees and one PhD, she was not heard until she got a law degree. 

Women often need to overcome societal expectations and focus on mindset to scale their businesses beyond the $1 million mark, but for that, they need to learn skills from coaches. The key point of all businesses is in the customer experience, both internal (team) and external (customers) stakeholders - aiming for the best customer experience possible is the money magnet.

Solving your financial problems and creating lasting success begins with addressing emotional and mindset issues. Dr Linette is pointing out that inner work combined with tactical action can make wonders. Reusing one ‘good’ product to maximize profits instead of going wide is her great tip for all out there.

We have a right to take off the Superwoman capes and redefine success for us - so let’s start.

Notes:
👩🏽‍💼 40 years of entrepreneurship and consulting: a woman of color in a male-dominated industry. 01:38
🧠 Scaling and profitability are not about the money but mindset: women have to stop sugarcoating things and grow a thicker skin. 04:44
👠 After the first million, you need a whole new set of skills: leading from our feminine energy. 07:41
🎓 Linette had 2 master's degrees, PhD, 2 biological kids, and 12 foster care children: no matter how educated you are, women are not listened to in men’s industries.  11:02
💎 If you don't heal, you can’t get the money: work on your mental health, self-confidence, self-love, and knowing your worth. 13:21
💲 The money is in customer experience: care for your internal team and outside clients. 20:29
💸 Profit leaks in companies: trapped money can’t help you. 28:58
⚠️ Check the productivity of your team: correct hiring, delegating, and auditing are important in team leading. 31:34
🆚 Going deep vs going wide: what to do if you have one thing that brings profit. 36:15

Dena Jansen, author, speaker, and coach, with a background in corporate leadership, began her adult life in accountancy and as a farmer’s wife. Making the transition out of corporate to entrepreneurship, Dena walked into a different space in her career and within her marriage.

Dena’s book, Soul Farmer, is a book of self-reflection, which guides the reader through giving yourself time to be with yourself - remembering to invest in yourself, and allowing yourself time to rest.

Michelle Rockwood, author of Joyful Selling, unintentionally became a sales coach. She realized she had something others did not; a skill, a passion, and a joy for sales coaching. Michelle believes strongly in creating a connection with people we are supporting and coaching, in making offers to people who really need them, and in ensuring we are prepared as we work in sales.

There is a distinct difference in masculine and feminine sales energy, and Michelle realized that the majority of sales training programs are written and delivered by men. It’s no wonder women are uncomfortable with this way of selling, and sometimes make our stomach churn, and often don’t find any joy in it. The goal is for you and the client alike to have an authentic sales experience that you both enjoy. This comes from authentically connecting with the client and ensuring we slow down and work smarter, not harder.

It IS possible to have a sales conversation that you actually enjoy!

Lori Crooks, CEO of CADRA, began her working life crunching numbers and auditing in accounting, before life as an IT auditor and working with companies to ensure that they comply with security standards and apply best practices. Many businesses are simply overwhelmed and unsure where to turn; Lori ensures that companies have the guidance they need to comply and for their IT environments to be secure.  Lori encourages women to achieve appropriate education, but also to create a connection with men. The IT industry is a male-dominated one, however, connections are important and can be forged through conversation, having a sense of humor, and perhaps sometimes via sarcasm. Lori teaches that women need to believe in themselves when they sit at a table where they are the only female and remind themselves that they deserve to be there as much as any male. Never forget to have an open mind, and to seek out different opinions.

Amy Kemp is the author, owner & CEO of Amy Kemp, Inc. After deciding that she did not want to work as a teacher, Amy started her own business which grew faster than she ever thought it would. Amy now helps leaders and business professionals understand how deeply thought habits impact every part of their work and lives. 

Mindset and habits are two things that are foundational for any result in our lives. We usually want to bypass each of these and push through to a result we are looking to achieve. However, we end up realizing that there was no foundation and therefore things begin to collapse. Amy explains how structure is not a restrictive cage but rather a path to freedom if used properly.

The power lies in embracing the gentle structures within our business and when we allow flexibility and unexpected things to happen. Allowing ourselves and others to recharge and shift perspective, brings in a space for change.

You cannot always be in the space of problem solving - give yourself time and space to recharge so your creativity (and productivity) can blossom.

Danielle Sunberg, a former Big Law attorney turned wellness entrepreneur and expert in the art of conscious living and award-winning author, shares about asking and answering the big question: Who am I?

Having been diagnosed with depression, Danielle realized that where she thought she was on top of everything, with plenty of zeros in her bank account and being on top of the corporate ladder, she wasn’t in tune with who she was herself.

Allowing yourself to be vulnerable causes a step into real leadership. Peeling the layers away allows for an acceptance of who you really are and allowing yourself to take up space. 

Hitting burnout is not always a bad thing - as long as you use it as a chance to change everything!

Notes:
👩🏻‍💼 Danielle was an accomplished corporate litigator for a big law firm in Washington, DC. 1:59
🥀 Despite her success, she felt empty, personally. 3:43
😞 She felt nothing when hearing the news about winning a case, and she just quit. 5:34
❓ Danielle needed to answer the question: Who am I? 8:14
✌ ️ Burnout is not just a bad thing: a chance to change everything.  13:31
😍 Burnout requires you to say: I've tolerated enough suffering here, and I'm actually going to make a change. 18:33
🤗 Mastering the art of being, which is what is left when we stop all of our doing. 22:06
🎯 The biggest changes that happen are clarity, confidence in decision-making, and relationship dynamics. 23:40
🥅 What needs to be addressed is creating safety, with others and within yourself. 27:11
🎯 When we can be vulnerable, we are stepping into real leadership. 29:00
⚠️ Vulnerability doesn't mean that you have to tell everybody all the dirty details. 32:03

Monday mornings usually start with: “I don't want to deal with my job, I don't have enough clients, I'm in a lot of debt, my marketing is terrible” But when you're taking inspired action, and you feel excellent about it, and you're pouring your love and your joy into it.

The goal is to always feel inspired. Jennifer shares one trick how to inspire yourself with the ‘Flow and Go” game. This is a practical and inspirational tool to shift a negative mindset and increase productivity. This game will help you recognize your negative emotions and shift them intentionally towards positive outcomes. The concept of this game is to align thoughts, emotions, actions and results into a positive feedback loop and take action.

The Go and Flow game can be played whenever you need it to get in the flow and start getting the results that you want in your business and your life. Check it out!

Notes:
🐌 Monday is not a very productive day: most heart attacks happen on Mondays. 01:46
📅 Having issues getting started after the weekend: don’t over-schedule your first working day. 02:27
✌🏼 The Flow and Go game: emotional states and physical relations, so it is important to think of different thoughts to move the flow. 04:14
🤔 Dreams and outcome thoughts: pivot on your thoughts to feel better as all good things happened already and then go. 08:27
🎯 Aligning with your dream, practicing your dream, and taking action. 10:16

Gina Cotner, CEO of Athena Executive Services, began her business by becoming a virtual assistant herself. Encouraged by an employer to start up a business finding the right assistants for business owners and CEOs, Gina found herself hiring her own VA and realizing the freedom it brought.

Time zones and internet reliability are two considerations when hiring a VA outside the USA. Gina stresses that while you could ask a VA to do anything for you, it’s worth remembering that they are not experts in the same subject as you. Hiring a VA through an agency, such as Athena Executive Services, allows peace of mind that VAs have already been screened and vetted; an agency is likely to pair you well with the right VA.

Having the right person for your business will make a massive difference to your life, as you find you no longer have to deal with the minutia!

Dr Michael Matucci, PhD, is a founder of Encompass Life, is on a mission to ignite the truth of who we really are and what we are really doing here.

Until you go into your own core and shift things at the soul level, as in, your emotions, will, and subconscious mind, then it will continue to perpetuate itself no matter how powerful you are.

Dr. Bonnie Wims, therapist, and mental coach who got her doctorate in her 50s, is proof that it is never too late for personal growth. Her perspective is reflected in the belief that “unacknowledged pain doesn’t go away, it multiplies.” She advocates for continued self-work and acknowledges that she, too, continues to work on her setbacks. In her words: “The truth of who you are is not in what you are told or what you are taught, but rather the true nature of you is in what you choose.” Being vulnerable to see your behavior is hard, and we need support in that process. But we can do it!

Make a good choice and listen to this episode that will help you make the right steps towards therapy!

Show notes:
💟 Dr. Bonnie Wims is a therapist and a mental health coach who got her Ph.D. in her 50s: we need a balance between emotional intelligence and business skills. 01:39
🎙️ Breaking therapy stigmas: Dr. Bonnie Wims talks about misconceptions, myths, and misunderstandings of it in her podcast, challenging the idea you only have to heal your trauma once! 07:54
👉 If you want to progress, you should also engage outside the sessions. 14:50
✅ Working with a therapist is a relationship, and you need to find someone who fits you: if you’ve had a bad experience, you may have just been with the wrong person. 19:36
🧠 You can’t understand the way you’re responding to trauma until someone helps you see that: we can heal, the brain is incredibly elastic and can change at any age. 25:41
🤗 Even Dr. Bonnie Wims works on her trauma and self-worth: Jennifer also openly works on herself during her retreats to inspire her clients. 31:45
❣️ Don’t settle for being broken: be curious to understand your behaviors and make progress! 36:51

People will always find reasons to say, “You’re not competent enough,” but you can prove them wrong!

Resilience and perseverance take center stage as the conversation unfolds through Chichi Ukomadu’s story, the COO of the Heroshe logistic company, a coach for Christian women, and a podcaster.

Let’s delve into the isolating nature of entrepreneurship, spotlighting the weight of decision-making and the indispensable role of mentors or coaches in offering support and guidance.

The power of coaching emerges a transformative force, providing accountability, clarity, and an invaluable external perspective crucial for overcoming challenges. The conversation doesn’t shop at individual resilience but delves into the broader dynamics of team building, self-care amidst sacrifice, and embracing rejection as a redirection towards positive impact and profitability.

All that magic happens with hard work and dedication, but also support. Jennifer's coaching team helped her business grow.

Listen to this episode to hear about Chichi's path as an educated foreigner in the US and what it takes to build the team that can upscale your business.

Show notes:
 
🇳🇬 Chichi migrated from Nigeria to the United States and established a multimillion-dollar e-commerce logistics company, aiding 66,000+ Africans to access global markets: the love to help people and shop with their money Chichi turned into a business. 02:14
😷 Heroshe faced COVID-19 challenges, dealing with excess work and staff storage due to government support: Chichi overcame this by innovative solutions despite employee reluctance to work. 06:22
📈 Jennifer’s team coached Chichi, leading to a seven-figure funding round this year: having a coach isn’t about incompetence but recognizing the need for diverse support to reach goals. 12:20
💪 Coach is a part of your team: having a coach makes you strong, not weak, because you realize that you need help and bring someone with a different perspective. 16:22
🔤 Chichi’s use of ABC time management helped her build the right team of people: when she caught COVID-19 infection, she decided to fire herself from the warehouse, and this year, she took a sabbatical year to build the coaching business. 21:51
❣️ You can make your team members care about your business if you care for them: Jennifer prioritizes building her team through Spartan Races and retreats. 26:00
📈 When you go together with the team, you go farther than by yourself: you can start as a one-man show, but the more you make room for people, the more growth you will see. 32:07
👩‍💼 Apart from her role as the COO of Heroshe, Chichi is now a Christian coach for women and a podcaster. 34:41
✅ Rejection is a redirection that leads to impact and profit: find help to get there. 39:17

Challenge your reality by knowing that your truth will always feel light.

Notes:
✨ Susanna is the founder of a revolutionary new approach called Pragmatic Psychology: dramatic is where you focus on the problem and look for a solution, but pragmatic means doing what works. 01:42
❗ Most people want to be right rather than free and they underestimate the power we have when we take on a point of view: how to see there are other possibilities. 08:07
🌎 The world feeds us one drama after the other: if we foster ourselves as leaders and inspire others to be leaders, we will have a different world very soon. 15:54
🤔 If you want to be truly productive, check if the information you're receiving is valuable for you: what's congruent, what's true, and what makes us feel lighter when we feel down. 19:07
⏰ Whenever you listen to someone, and it creates a sense of contraction and heaviness, create an alarm to warn you: your truth will always feel lighter. 22:53

🕯️ Kate is a Stanford graduate, a former educator, and the founder of Scented Designs, a clean-crafted Candle Company: company growth takes time and education, and sometimes it needs to be a side job until it develops. 01:42
🤝 Doing in-person markets pre-COVID enabled Kate to do collaborations and survive the pandemic. 05:58
👙 Kate loves finding collaborations in the most unexpected places: working with someone is not about competing but serving your customer at a higher level. 09:51
✅ You don't need a full-time employee because just one person a few hours a week can make a difference: there's real power in saying no and focusing your energy. 13:39
📋 If you can't make your priorities, hire a business manager and practice lowering the expectation bar a little bit. 17:08
👉 Don't play catch up - just realize where you are and take baby steps: when you're not so busy, things get in a natural order and pace. 20:27
❣️ Shut down the inbox, close the email tab, and go to Do Not Disturb mode to save your productivity. 23:16

⭐ Jodi is an entrepreneur, a coach, a speaker, and a writer with a lot of experience in government work and tech: she's an introvert and has ADHD - introversion is not shyness. 01:24
🎯 The biggest difficulty for an introvert is trying not to be one: extroverts get energy from networking, but introverts should choose networking events carefully because they drain energy. 04:44
✅ Pre-COVID, many people were forcing themselves to try to be extroverts, and they paid for it on the back end: introversion and extroversion aren't necessarily a fixed binary. 07:03
📋 Even if ideas are flowing, that doesn't mean they're good: Jodi has a process based on agile software development that helps you with your to-do lists. 08:45

👔 Jeffrey is a prime-time television host, a global business celebrity speaker, a best-selling author, and chairman and CEO of the C-Suite Network: he's a millennial trapped in a baby boomer body who loves to solve core issues, take care of his family, earn money and have fun. 02:04
✅ A leader's job is not to be the smartest person in the room but to be the most strategic: decision-making is a lot simpler when you have a clear direction. 05:28
👨‍🍳 Jeffrey finds inspiration in the people around him. 07:11
🪞 The only person who will change it for you is the person who is looking in the mirror at you every day: get off your keister, get off your couch, quit eating bonbons and feeling sorry for yourself, and get in the game! 11:25
😷 Jeffrey shares his horrible experience where failure was unavoidable: you can make a little lemonade out of some lemons, but it's still tough. 15:18
✅ It doesn't do you any good just to survive because we all need to thrive. 17:59
🚴 Sturgis and Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota are awesome places for bike lovers: stay away from buffalo! 21:58

Notes: 
📋 Eric has been the producer and host of the Beyond the To-Do List podcast, where he talks with productivity experts: choose less to do because when you get less done, you still have all that extra time. 01:57
⏳ Bring more self-awareness into your day by using Toggle or just time-tracking your schedule for a week: repeat this every six months. 03:22
🎙️ Erik struggled with ADHD for a very long time in his adult life without knowing, which led him to start a productivity podcast. 08:19
❗ You can be more productive by reducing the expectations you put on yourself: broken commitments affect our psyche, emotions, heart, and confidence. 10:25
✅ Check which times are best for certain task types: you have a very high percentage of agency about your workflow. 14:00
👉 Many people are forcing themselves into a chronotype that's not their own: schedule your day the best way it works for you. 17:07
📈 Just hit a reset, do one of these time-tracking sessions for a good week or two, and track all those variables: it's time for a change! 20:50

👩‍🦱 Lainie is the founder of the CIFT Center for Intuitive Food Therapy, the co-author of The Food Healing Oracle Deck, and a lifelong foodie: she worked in top vegetarian kitchens in Hollywood for numerous celebrities. 01:43
💦 If we can fuel the body properly, it will give us the fuel we need to think, make great decisions, manifest, and attract what we need: putting words to food - food is mostly water and water is affected by the frequency of words. 03:37
✨ Lainie works with businesses who hire her to look at problems from an esoteric point of view: being open-minded leaves space for the unseen to govern synchronicities and miracles. 10:54
🃏 We are what we eat: Lainie shares one experience with her food cards and the effect that specific foods have on us. 13:01
🍉 Eat your way into releasing, manifesting, and attracting more of what you want: watermelon helps toxin release, and with lime and feta, it makes a great salad. 16:54

 Notes
🌹 Maira is a somatic therapist who helps people heal from the impacts of childhood trauma: somatic therapy gave her clients better, long-lasting results than cognitive-based or top-down therapy. 01:45
💔 Emotional neglect in childhood leads to poor self-worth and disconnection from emotions. 04:44
🔵 When you haven't healed your childhood trauma, you're constantly fighting against burnout, procrastination, and lack of joy: to be regulated is to feel calm and alert. 09:20
😊 Practicing joy spotting involves finding one moment that felt good or neutral in the day, replaying it in the mind, and learning to love the way it makes you feel. 14:02
👀 Trauma can make it hard to find joy, even in safe spaces like work: you have no access to joy if you're constantly trying to keep yourself safe in your environment. 19:39
✅ Reframing can help you gain resilience and regulation: the brain has to find a way of making sense of why our parents are treating us a certain way. 23:27
🤗 Healing work must happen with another person. 31:11
🔷 Jennifer recognizes that her reactions to her husband are often a reflection of unresolved issues within herself: don't be stuck in a victim mindset because you have a diagnosis - do the work to heal yourself. 34:28
❤️‍🩹 If you don't incorporate the body in healing, you're covering the wound with a band-aid without getting surgery: it takes commitment and devotion to do the work. 37:45
🍎 The high cost of maintaining survival physiology includes increased tension patterns in the body, and there's a high cost of doing business: doing one's work can also help improve immune and digestion systems. 41:21

Notes:
🇨🇷 Jake is a serial media music and hospitality entrepreneur, author, podcaster, and the CEO and founder of Imiloa Institute in Costa Rica: the White House named him one of the most innovative entrepreneurs under 30. 01:37
❤️ Jake discovered that the more “unreasonably hospitable” they got, the more successful they became: people are longing for a sense of belonging. 05:11
👨‍🌾 If the company is successful, it's not because of the CEO, but it is a reflection of what they are willing to look at as a human being: celebrate your housekeepers and gardeners, and it will cultivate an incredible sense of love, ownership, and fellowship across the organization. 08:09
🧡 You can make virtual fun by introducing familiarization trips and allowing your team to deepen: Jennifer shows respect to all the employees by dividing bonuses in the company equally. 15:41
🏡 Jake created a sense of home in his retreats, leaving out business, spiritual, and thematic elements at the start: each retreat is like a perfect storm with a sense of healthy support and readiness to serve. 20:39
📊 Track the data after a retreat or other investment in yourself, and you'll see it's not just some woo-woo language. 28:12

⭐ Nida is a serial entrepreneur, top-tier business consultant, self-identity reinvention coach, and former Fortune 500 executive with more than two decades of experience in business, psychology, and personal development: she works with highly exceptional coaches, consultants, and experts who want to build a truly innovative businesses that stand out from the rest. 02:13
✅ Being an entrepreneur is really about solving someone's problem better than anyone else: you need to really dig into the problem that people are experiencing, and that requires a lot of research. 05:16
❗ Nida gets higher quality clients by making it harder to buy: if you're happy with the product/service, you'll tell only a few people, but if you're very dissatisfied or angry, you'll tell a ton of people. 11:47
👉 Nida never believed in charging super low fees for her coaching services - she started with a high price point and quickly elevated her fees: her inspiration came from being a frustrated consumer, and integrity helped her elevate the industry. 17:21
🟢 Create a process to filter out people who are not serious: a high price doesn't necessarily mean people are committed to doing the work. 22:24
🧲 You can magnetize people similar to you by talking about values, passions, and beliefs: always operate from an abundance mindset. 24:46

Ryan Wilson is a video storyteller, who shares his journey from a small town in Illinois to becoming a passionate advocate for the disability community. Ryan's decision to work with videos stemmed from his desire to tell authentic stories and make valuable resources more accessible. He founded Team Trust Productions, a video company that specializes in various video services, including event recaps, interviews, and fundraising videos for nonprofits. 

Ryan shares the red flags of hiring the wrong video production company and offers insights into marketing to the disabled community. Success is achieved through small, consistent, and attainable steps and videos are a great boost to that.

Show Notes
📽️ Ryan Wilson is the founder and CEO of a disability-led video production company, Team Trust Productions: how he got inspired and ended up creating a video company. 01:52
🤝 There's a lot of magic and storytelling in videos: videos can help you connect with somebody and build a relationship. 04:44
✅ Types of videos you can use for your business: don’t forget to promote your videos. 07:50
🚩 Red flags when hiring a video production: beware of videographers without passion and care. 09:45
❓ What is your story really about: it's not necessarily about flexing your organization's muscles, but how you're changing the lives of the people you serve. 13:02
👉 How to market to the disabled community: acknowledging what the person is telling you and understanding that our projections are not what others really need. 14:58
🎥 There's a strong connection between individuals with a disability, and Jennifer noticed it when she was in the wheelchair: that sense of connection is something Ryan tries to pull out in videos they do. 20:34

🌸 Reena Vokoun is the founder and CEO of Passion Fit, a best-selling and award-winning author, a TEDx speaker, a professional development coach and consultant, a content creator, and a marketer: she worked at Google until she experienced burnout and is now focused on empowering women to flourish both personally and professionally through wellness, fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, and work-life balance. 01:46
🔥 Reena shared her symptoms and how she recognized and dealt with burnout: there are blessings if you hit the point of burnout, but don't go too far. 05:00
✍️ Writing a self-assessment feels cathartic: once you get it out, make an action plan and leverage support. 11:43
💃 Take time off to sleep, get out, and do something different like dance, fitness, yoga, or hiking: when you feel well, internally and externally, you get a different perspective. 15:39
😻 Go back to what you liked to do in your younger years, and that sort of childlike curiosity and zest for life will start coming back. 20:40
💟 People who do self-care are more successful in their businesses and earn more money: put self-care on the calendar and know you are just as important as everyone and everything else. 23:25

Notes:
👔 Shulamit is the entrepreneurs' therapist and the cofounder of The Business Therapy Center, who works with women business owners to care for their mental and emotional well-being: entrepreneurs need therapists who understand entrepreneurship. 03:21
🚬 Isolation affects your physical health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day: the nature of isolation for entrepreneurs is unique. 05:54
💪 Entrepreneurs are strong, capable, competent people who are even stronger with support. 08:51
💭 Emotions can appear through self-talk and thoughts: when you spend a little time with the parts of you that are frustrated, you can learn important information about the steps you need to take to move your businesses forward. 11:47
😨 The habit of caring for yourself is the real gold that makes you more resourced and helps you handle the rest of your life better: fear tells you to pay attention and keeps you humble. 16:59
✅ "Big T trauma explodes, and small t trauma erodes" - small erosive events that occur over and over again can also result in a traumatized nervous system: the same event can impact people differently depending on the support and recovery they have. 24:45
📱 Boundary challenges can come from trauma and cause survival instincts that stay too long: get a separate phone, have one for business and one for home so you can step away and have more gumption, energy, and enthusiasm the next day. 30:56
🫶 We have intimacy with our business, just like with our beloveds: intimacy is built through communication and trust with ourselves, our beloveds, and our business. 37:59

😊 Michele is the founder of Key Performance & the author of Happiness is a Habit: happy people have happy habits. 02:02
🏞️ When people regularly do something mentally, physically, spiritually, or emotionally for themselves, they feel better: a walk in the woods with a loved one hits all four. 04:17
💗 Happiness is just as important as any other goal: I'm of great help to everybody when I am in those higher emotions. 07:21
🛏️ Successful people take time to tune themselves in the morning: the energy you create first thing in the morning is what you take with you. 10:20
💭 In the positive psychology world, the difference between optimists and pessimists was how they processed and explained life events. 13:11
🤝 To be optimistic, bring your happy game into conversations: a coach helps you see your pessimism, but it sometimes takes time to accept it. 15:23
🔳 Know when you're emotionally hijacked: we all have a negative voice, but we also have a positive side that we don't always tune into. 19:30
👔 Busy people are boring - if you have focus and goals, you should have time to work out, manage your finances, spend time with your family and make money joyfully: what's your happiness portfolio? 23:07
🥳 When you're stuck, hire a coach to get an outside perspective and be able to pivot the strategy: you can make new positive habits in 90-day cycles. 27:25

Notes:
👱‍♀️ Hally worked herself into stress and illness, but overcame it: working with entrepreneurs on movement, nutrition, mindset, resilience, and relationships, while her team handles regular functional medicine patients. 01:17
🧯 Functional medicine is a root cause medicine - it treats the root causes so all the symptoms go away. 03:36
👉 Functional medicine is preventative and thriving medicine, but people come to functional medicine when nothing else has worked: find a practitioner who treats you like an expert in your body. 06:48
🧬 It takes four months minimum for every cell in your body to die and be made new: you can’t reverse things in a week. 12:17 
💲 A Forbes study shows that business owners who take care of their health and well-being make more money: working through lunch means you’re having a less successful business. 15:01
🔆 Nourish nutrition, movement, mind and spirit, and relationships - implement these 4 baselines to create a snowball effect. 21:47
🚶 You must commit to a 30-minute walk, 5 days a week, for your first 5 days. 26:52
🧑‍⚕️ Don’t just keep cranking. Give yourself a break, and you'll figure out the answer: find a doctor or a nutritionist, depending on the level you're ready to go for. 29:29
🌷 Don't be the person who has to lose their health to get appreciation and gratitude for taking care of it. 32:16

🧠 Kim does unapologetic writing workshops: writing whatever comes into your mind helps you listen to your brain. 02:01
✍️ Writing workshops are an alternative to meditation: writing in groups makes us more human and connected. 06:43
✅ Workshops in person are more vulnerable than virtual ones: virtual workshops help people compensate for micro-interactions that are missing in fully remote environments. 13:53
⭐ A healthy outlet for our emotions and the things on our mind makes us focus better on our work: when we get comfortable with ourselves and our thoughts on paper, it's easier to show up authentically. 18:16
💙 Developing emotional intelligence improves the whole team. 21:18

🥚 Jeffrey began his entrepreneurial experience selling eggs door to door when he was 14 years old: rewards are greater than fears. 01:52
📸 After 25 years in a very successful photography business, Jeffery started coaching: no one taught his clients to make money from their talents and skills. 04:17
❗ The rule of thirds trap - you end up spending a third of your time running your business, a third of your time marketing to get the business, and only a third of your time doing what makes money. 08:38
🤗 What is “Hug Marketing”: a different marketing approach. 11:25
❌ There's no silver bullet, and it's not one size fits all: thinking like that is disrespecting the diversity of the world. 14:42
🫙 Being in the jar: engage with experts to help and nudge you because no one goes into business and immediately has that nailed down - the real sweet spot is 2–5 years. 17:31
🌼 Why 55-60-year-olds leave their corporate job: they are wise enough to realize they don't want to spend forever figuring stuff out. 21:39
📈 The problem of silo-minded business owners: everyone needs a coach, you can’t do all things yourself - you are not an expert in everything. 25:42
🕯️ Be willing to reinvest in what you want to get in return: packaging trick from Bergdorf Goodman’s store. 29:04
🌌 The universe will listen if you put yourself on a limb. 31:43

Real fulfillment and happiness come from having a positive mindset and deep emotional awareness, and tactical achievements will never feel as good without it. If you are struggling with inner wounds and your emotional health is affecting your ability to run your business, find a coach, healer or therapist to help you accelerate your journey. You don't have to suffer alone, you can break through to the next level and find real fulfillment and a renewed love for life!

🔵 Tony is a business coach and mentor who helps business leaders and entrepreneurs redesign their thoughts, emotions, and beliefs to create a more fulfilling life: Tony helps his clients overcome their negative mental patterns and unconscious self-sabotaging patterns to achieve more success and happiness. 01:56
🌱 Fulfillment doesn't come from the outside - it comes from the inside: plant medicines helped Tony go through his inner work. 07:37
🟡 Healing wounds is part of business achievements: the journey of accomplishment, success, and spirituality are the same. 10:26
❗ Imposter syndrome and procrastination are the most common problems Tony's clients face: when you feel resistance, be aware of your emotional state as you think about the problem. 12:39
🧡 Feel what you're feeling, but don't add that second layer of junk on top of it: the truest level of freedom is on the emotional side. 16:40
◽ We are the way we are to fulfill the goals of our identity: we have 1000s of identities that we're shifting through, depending on our goals. 20:19
🟣 In the beginning, getting a coach will speed up your progress: as you gain more awareness, you can start doing more self-inner work. 23:37

🌹 Teresa is a leadership expert with over 20 years of corporate experience: productivity is really about making choices that align with your values and stopping those activities that don't. 02:13
🗒 The rush of energy and adrenaline comes from crossing 6-7-8 things off your list: are the items on your list really meaningful? 04:24
❗️ We must rewire the belief that more is better: focus on meaningful intent because busyness does not necessarily equate to importance. 07:54
✅️ You can't operate where you're at today to achieve the kind of success that you want tomorrow: sustainable success is not made by constantly proving yourself. 11:55
👫 The entry point for Teresa's women clients is psychological well-being & the second curve: with male clients, it's more about the absence of stress and pressure, and improving relationships. 16:05
💪 Power is not fake it until you make it, but practice it until you embody it. 20:14
⏳️ The second curve is when we come to that critical point in our careers, and we ask ourselves “What it is all for?”: we are no longer willing to trade in dollars for time. 23:2
👨‍💼 A sense of belonging on a team, the freedom to express ideas and thoughts, and welcoming the diversity of opinion create a good work environment. 27:04
🤝 There is a power in communication when people are eyeball to eyeball: human-to-human contact and conversation is where bonds are created and unity is formed. 30:44

⭐ Aytekin is the founder of Jotform and a productivity and automation expert: he wrote the book Automate Your Busywork. 01:44
🍼 Work/life balance is important for Aytekin, who is a father of 3 kids and a family man: hire somebody if you already have their one-year salary ahead of time. 04:51
❤️ Adopt the mindset of valuing your personal freedom: don't retire early because you still have so much to give to the world. 10:19
👉 Jotform was like a prison at the start because Aytekin worked all day: He started to automate things, and it made a big difference because he could focus on the product and not just the busy work. 15:05
✅ Competing with Google was quite a challenge, but it helped Jotform get better. 18:32
📧 An average office worker or entrepreneur can receive hundreds of emails a day: Aytekin uses labels and filters to prioritize emails. 20:51
⏳ We are all drowning in busy work - use a time audit to manage your time: Aytekin's book can help you do that. 26:12
🎯 Deep work requires attention: everything is turning into software today, and that gives you more freedom and power. 30:49

📚 Ruth is the CEO of Expert Celebrity™ Branding: once your brand is in alignment with who you truly are - you’re in a happy place. 02:54
🧩 Be very conscious of updating our brand: we all have a different puzzle & Ruth's job is to find puzzle pieces and put them together for her clients. 05:04
❤️ What do your ideal clients say about working with you?:  if you truly listen with your heart, people tell you who they are and what they need. 10:14
🇧 Internal and external brands have to be consistent: When your personal brand is not in conjunction with the business you work for, you may not do as well. 16:55
❗ Customer service is one of your best ambassadors, and it’s the first line of defense: you can get away with less expenditure on PR and advertising if you spend just as much time training your team. 21:03
👍 Ambassadors have great reach - find people who love what you do and create training for them: another way to grow your new business is to find sponsors. 27:37
🧍 Work with regular people, not just influencers: your clients and vendors can be your ambassadors. 30:09
🥳 Having a business needs to be fun & healthy: the attitude makes a huge difference. 32:08

👩‍💼 Elaine is an independent journalist specializing in entrepreneurship: she's the author of The Million-Dollar One-Person Business & Tiny Business, Big Money. 02:04
📚 Writing about entrepreneurship made Elaine connect with entrepreneurs: she asked readers of Forbes how they succeeded, gathered that knowledge, and put it in a book. 03:35
📄 We're leaving the coercive world of work and entering one that's much more voluntary: Jennifer shares how she developed her company to seven figures via contractors. 11:55
🤝 Contractors also prosper by gaining experience and knowledge - it's a beautiful thing where everybody can help each other and rise together: being a solopreneur can be lonely. 17:35
🕴️ Around 45% of the 7-figure owners belong to entrepreneurship groups, and 37% have a business coach: friends and family often don't understand entrepreneurs. 20:37
💲 Professional services are a large portion of 7-figure businesses. 22:48
🖥️ 7-figures businesses generally have contractors and self-invest, and 90% use automation: automation empowers people to build upon it and lean into the things only humans can do. 26:12
👉 You are the most precious resource of your business - leverage things only you can do: leave the industrial mindset behind and embrace capital-efficient methodologies. 30:45

🌼 Christine is a content creator who produced 2 TV shows: she loves to interview celebrities on her show, and loves to write, teach and run. 01:24
🏃‍♀️ Running helped Christine develop her business and well-being: it gave her confidence in every aspect of her life. 03:49
👍 Be who you are, try things, and see what you like: you may need the help of the doctor or a sports club, but there's something out there for everyone. 07:08

✅ It's better to be safe than sorry: be cautious and ask questions. 11:29

🙋‍♂️ Owen helps men learn the emotional skills they were never taught. 02:23
✅ Emotional physiology skills help men deal with stress and start naturally connecting to others: men are vulnerable in a different way than women, and they often don't have authentic, vulnerable, and powerful men around them. 05:59
🔵 Owen gets guys to talk about stress or physiology to make them open up emotionally. 09:46
🤝 Connection to other people goes up when you stop going into your survival response: we feel safe because we co-regulate each other. 12:20
🟢 As guys get older, they tend to have fewer friends and miss authentic connections: in Owen’s groups, guys get competitive about how authentic and vulnerable they can be. 16:54
👫 Your partner shouldn't be your whole source of support: take a personal approach when talking about stress and recommending help. 21:26
👉 Survival coping mechanisms may have diminishing returns: most men learn communication skills via modeling. 24:39
❗ Boys are more sensitive than girls up to the age of two: shutting down emotions brings illness and relational dysfunction, and can become a self-perpetuating behavior. 27:36
😊 One of the biggest benefits is the enjoyment Owen's clients get from helping other men. 29:15

Show notes:

👩‍💼 Melisa is the go-to intuitive intimacy expert for high-achieving spiritual CEOs: when focusing on achieving perfectionism, many businesswomen fall into a more masculine energy. 02:05
💅 Your husband may say he wants you to vacuum more, put on a dress, or color your nails, but that doesn't really fill his love tank. 07:26
☯️ We are culturally told what it means to be a good woman, but it doesn't always align with us: Yin & Yang are feminine and masculine energy, and we all have both. 09:05
👉 Feminine energy is the opportunity for emotion, connection, and curiosity: male energy operates more in businesses. 13:28
👫 Marriage is a life-giving experience and opportunity, but we often forget to express and meet our desires. 16:17
🤗 Women tend to carry a huge wound, even if we weren't personally sexually abused: this is why we may avoid intimacy and security, feel shut off, and lack creativity even in business. 20:52
❤️ Menopause affects your body and mood, and a little bit of testosterone can go a long way: Melisa helps women who don't want hormone therapy find things that give them pleasure. 28:21
👄 Sex can be a tremendous vehicle, even in menopause: many women miss out on exploring the concept of “sex magic” because they are too busy. . 32:46
✅ The sacral chakra is responsible for your pleasure, creativity, and vision: that energetic space can help us stay in a place of creativity, expansion, and joy. 37:29
📚 Melisa is super approachable and will talk to you on social media: you can find her books on Amazon. 42:15

🧘‍♀️ Kate became a spiritual teacher, author, and artist that helps people feel more present and alive: no matter what we do, there'll be challenges, but as a monk once said - “no mud, no lotus.” 01:22
⚰️ You might die tomorrow: it's polarizing, but also a source of courage, motivation, truth, clarity, and presence. 05:56
⛰️ One of Kate's friends died climbing Everest, but she realized he died doing something he loves: the true challenge of life is to feel alive while standing at the kitchen sink doing dishes. 10:11
🤔 Look at the attitude you're approaching your day with - maybe you can whistle while working?: the “deathbed gut check” is a perspective tool you can use when you need to make a decision without judgment and external influences. 17:30
🧠 When you feel completely overwhelmed, rediscover the beauty of life: Kate recommends a few books to help you claw your way out and wake up the right-brain symphony. 24:28
🌡️ Are you a thermostat or thermometer?: a thermostat sets the mood for everybody around them. 35:37
💚 It is a privilege to wake up in the morning. 41:14

🙂 David is the former CEO of the Leigh Steinberg Sports and Entertainment Agency, which inspired the Jerry Maguire movie: his life's mission is to empower over 1 billion people to be happy. 01:32
🚗 Money doesn't buy love or happiness, but it allows you to shop, and if you shop for the right things, and for the right reasons, it can make you happy. 06:14
🔹 The consistent pursuit makes you happy, not the goal: people don't know how to enjoy the consistent, everyday pursuit of their potential because they're attaching their emotions to an outcome. 09:59
🔮 You can surrender to having what you want and just enjoy, and it will come bigger and faster than it would if you attach your emotions to the outcome. 13:30
✌️ There's only fear of the past and fear of the future: if you're naturally in spirit with truth, joy, and happiness, you can identify what fear you have and stop it. 16:00
🟩 If David's not in his house of emotion, he finds out what's creating the interference to that house, a high powerful place of "I am": fear, gut, and intuitions are indicators. 20:55

👱‍♀️ Amy Feind Reeves recently published a book called College to Career, Explained - which explains tools, skills, and confidence for your job search. 01:33
3️⃣ The job always goes to the person who wants it the most: you need 3 things at any stage of the job search process. 10:45
📊 Millennials may skew a little bit towards money, but the statistics show that feeling valued, validated, and respected are big drivers: there are specifically targeted packages that can be purchased to set you apart from other employers. 21:29
👩‍💼 Millennials have a different approach to work because they were raised differently: the biggest management mistake is falling into “management by least resistance.” 27:31

🫶 Stop being narcissistic and altruistic - maximize economic growth and self-worth: when we compare ourselves to others we set ourselves up for injected values from outer authorities and end up judging ourselves. 02:30
❤️ Nothing is missing in you, but the moment you are fooled by the facade of others and compare yourself to them, you start to exaggerate or minimize yourself: everything you admire in others is on the outside. 08:25
✅ Drop the judgment of others: you have the same intelligence in a different area. 14:49
❗ The second you compare yourself to others and create a fantasy of who you should be and you undermine the magnificence of who you are. 21:22
✌️ You have 2 choices: set goals that match your values, or change your values to match the goals you say you want. 22:40
💯 Most people are passively following their values in life instead of taking command: the wealthiest people look for how they can be of service to more people. They value maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of their work, saving and investing, and creating a financial cause that leaves a legacy. 29:59

🏢  Andrea manages over 180 million dollars in real estate portfolio assets: leaving California for Texas was a great opportunity to learn about investments and real estate. 02:31
💲 Find someone who knows more about investing than you: syndications are similar to crowdfunding. 06:45
🏥 Commercial real estate is a great investment for the busy business owner: working with a syndication company you trust will bring the opportunities to you. 09:17
💵 Andrea and her team built relationships with passive investors: the typical minimum investment is $50-100.000. 11:29
💰 Investors get quarterly cash flow and the appreciation play: COVID didn't affect the real estate business. 14:37
📈 Assets typically turn around in four to six years: after selling the building, money goes back to the investor. 16:57
❗ Andrea shares a few tips on how to start as an investor. 19:35

🌺 Lee was a psychotherapist for almost 15 years before she started coaching. 02:03
🔸 Follow your intuition to save yourself from a lot of heartaches. 04:33
💮 You can feel intuition in your body: pay attention to the sensory experience. 06:38
🔹 Mindset is how we relate to our internal experiences: we can differentiate mindset chatter from intuition by creating a space between the thought and the self. 09:33
☺️ We each have an upper limit for the amount of joy we feel safe holding and expressing: excavate your internalized messages. 15:10
🔹 How to decide if you should be working with a coach or a therapist. 20:46
💡 You have to define what progress is in order to get results: if it's not working, change your supportive partner. 26:21
🔸 A coaching relationship takes both people coming together to create a synergy, but the work is your responsibility. 28:53
🌸 Whether you choose a coach or therapist, the center of the experience is the relationship. 30:55

⭐ Sebastien wanted to be an actor, but he found his calling in the fitness industry: when life is showing you a different path. 01:27
🌌 If you do what you're supposed to and follow your own path, you are aligned with the universe. 20:45
🦈 Even Sebastien sometimes doubts himself - he goes diving to step out of negative energy: when you're having a hard time, go take a fucking vacation. 25:07
🤝 Fitness connects people - when you work out together and sweat together, you're the same: the connection between our frequency and our success. 31:21
🤸‍♀️ You can't separate your work from your personal life, so why can't fitness affect your work?: fitness helps you do the hard work on the days that you have to dig in.
✅ Sebastien plans a trip to the Amazon: we're not programmed to be happy, but we can choose to be happy, try better, and do better. 40:00

🌱 Blaine consults advisors and coaches globally: he grew up on a farm that taught him nature is probably the only truly free market economy that exists. 02:19
🤝 Competition is rooted in a mindset of scarcity: compassion is impossible to experience without connection. 09:12
✅ The purpose of business is to enhance the likelihood of thriving on this planet: If purchasing my product or service helps you thrive, you will beat a path to my door. 14:47
❣️ Love what you're doing: Observe people from the perspective of the story you're holding in your mind. 16:57
‼️ It's easier to blame external circumstances: responsibility is not the blame - take responsibility. 21:40
🟢 "Without the play of the imagination, nothing of consequence has ever been produced" - Jung. 25:20
👉 Get yourself centered and design an environment that feels good to be there. 28:26
🍃 Anytime you interrupt a pattern the process stops: there is nothing in nature that serves as a center of accumulation - everything is a center of a distribution. 33:18
📖 Blaine's book about how capitalism is conducted today: how compassion gets translated into a practical business process. 38:10
📊 A study showed that companies with compassion built into the system outperformed all other companies by not just a little bit - it was a huge differential. 41:50
🔴 Balance compassion and profit: people think of compassion as soft and squishy - genuine compassion has a very hard edge to it. 44:59

💍 Lisa's company works with law firms and high-net-worth individuals to help resolve complex financial disputes during divorce proceedings. 02:15
💰 Try to equalize both partners' access to cash because many games are played when one partner has unequal cash access. 04:18
❗ If you want to maintain separate assets or exclude them from division, the time to do that would be before marriage or shortly after. 06:27
💲 Lawyers do global lawyering, and Lisa is focused strictly on the financial piece: she identifies fraud and uncovers lost or hidden assets. 09:35
🧑‍⚖️ It's foolhardy to attempt to lie to a judge about assets in 2023. 12:43
💠 The best part about Lisa's work is that she can create a more accurate and fair situation: the worst part is the stress that clients experience. 14:48

🌸 Heather is a former teacher who enjoyed fitness and took a leap of faith and became a fitness instructor: online fitness continues to be popular after the pandemic. 01:55
🟣 Start with baby steps - hold a plank for a minute a day: get creative with how to fit physical fitness in your day. 06:58
🥊 Training can be free, but make it fun: Jennifer loves boxing. 11:34
🤰 Heather is a mom of triplets and is now in the best shape of her life: being in shape before and during pregnancy makes for a quicker rebound. 13:55

🌷 Angela is a psychotherapist and online educator - she knew she wanted to be a psychotherapist at 10 years old.  01:37
✅ Entrepreneurs are surprised that they can't handle everything but feel like they should: therapy can offer strategies to help us think more clearly and less based on stress and anxiety. 05:55
🟣 What you grew up with and carry around is influencing you now in your business: be willing to go back and work on yourself. 11:48
❣️ Part of growing is learning and making mistakes: therapy is a risk that can pay off with the right therapist, just don't quit if you have a terrible experience with the first one. 15:17
💡 With contrast comes clarity - a bad experience helps you know what you want: tell your therapist what's triggering you in their work approach. 22:09
🔷 It's scary to be vulnerable with someone: be curious about why you're not being completely honest - it will help you in your life and relationships. 27:54

🖐 "Happy Productive" comes from creating that happy place where we can make the most of our time being productive: 5 mistakes that make you suck at being happy. 00:53
💸 Mistake #1 - Giving our power away by chasing goals and putting conditions on happiness. 03:30
💗 Mistake #2 - Forgetting to practice gratitude: set goals from a place of abundance, power, and gratitude. 06:15
❗ Mistake #3 - Victim mindset: you have control over your reality. 11:13
✅ Mistake #4 - You're not healing your crap: fight, flight, and freeze reactions show us crap we didn't recover from yet. 14:13
📖 ‘Best Journal Ever’ was created to be a great tool for a healing journey. 19:28
⚠️ Truth mirroring can show us that what we're so mad at another person for may be a reflection of what's going on in ourselves. 22:43
❣️ Mistake #5 - We don't do the hard work: happiness lives at the other end of hard. 24:59
🏃‍♀️ Unbreakable Retreats combine a Spartan Race with business and life coaching: doing things you think you can't do builds strength and mental toughness. 27:22

📒 Best Planner Ever: https://bestplannerever.com/ 

Jason Portnoy is a venture capitalist and author of Silicon Valley Porn Star, a book that outlines his healing journey from addiction to serenity. Everybody strives for success, but for some of us, pursuing achievements may be a distraction from shame and internal issues we aren’t ready to face yet. 

All facets of who we are as people are connected, and the problems we have in our personal lives will eventually manifest into our business life. If you are ready to start your healing journey, you must be honest, vulnerable, and ready to share your secrets to get to the root of your traumas. Stop looking for comfort in distractions and honor your most authentic self!

Show Notes:
🔞 Jason worked in Silicon Valley with some big faces but traumas from childhood triggered a sexual addiction: he wrote a book called Silicon Valley Porn Star. 04:16
📖 Healing the Shame That Binds You by John Bradshaw is a book that helped Jason fight through his toxic shame: hyper-achievement can be driven by shame and even rewarded. 07:45
🌞 Remove the layers that block out the sun: happiness is a natural byproduct. 11:19
☯️ Peacefulness and serenity are less of an emotion and more like a state of being: that's what most of us want when we want happiness. 14:06
🤐 When you don’t know that everything in life is connected: Jason was omitting selective facts to his coach - he thought some weren't relevant to his healing process. 17:41
✅ We can undergo fundamental healing and progress in all aspects of our lives when we present our whole selves. 19:24
💼 Jason works as a venture capitalist with a different perspective: your business can't grow faster than you grow, and your business can't get bigger than you are. 22:31
🎯 Being an entrepreneur is being ready to manifest a creation that shows you in the real world and outlines where your limits are so that you can push through those limits. 25:04
👩‍❤️‍👨 Jason and his wife managed to heal - they both took responsibility for what was happening: some relationships shouldn't continue. 29:08
📣 Letting his secrets out started the healing: a man coming clean to a woman is partially about him being honest with her and honoring that commitment in the relationship. 35:13
➡️ There are different kinds of secrets - both conscious & unaware - we discover them on the way. 38:12

Stephanie Downs is an entrepreneur developing vegan innovations and alternatives for industries across the globe. Living a life that incorporates more plant-based choices has never been easier, and every choice you make matters.

She shares how raising animals for food and materials is an archaic practice in terms of how much time and resources it costs, and the impact it has on our planet is devastating. Thankfully we can all make a genuine difference with our daily meals and purchases by reducing the amount of meat we eat and exploring alternatives like synthetics and next-gen plant-based substitutes. 

Help make the world a better place for both animals and humans by trying plant-based alternatives!

Show Notes:
👩‍💼 Stephanie is an entrepreneur and animal lover: from owning a plant-based meat company in India to a plant-based leather company. 01:29
🐶 It's never been easier to be flexitarian - every meal makes a difference: Stephanie couldn't continue eating animals and volunteering in an animal shelter at the same time. 05:05
🌱 Benefits of eating plant-based: Removing animals from the supply chain, and letting them have their life. 09:40
🇮🇳 The story behind developing a company in India: 95% of the population doesn't have access to refrigerators but the cost of living is significantly smaller. 12:21
👜 The fashion industry is under a lot of pressure: leather is the most harmful material for the environment the fashion industry uses. 17:34
🏞️ The only alternative available to animal leather is synthetic leather, but that's plastic: Stephanie’s next-gen leather uses just 8 plant-based ingredients! 20:19
👍 An animal hide will take about 50 years to biodegrade; synthetic leather probably takes 1000 years, but next-gen leather has significant degradation after only 2 months and is not toxic. 24:12
🟤 Progress over perfection - switch to synthetics instead of animal-based clothes, and soon we'll have the next-gen leather. 26:10
❤️ We all have to step up - nobody can help everybody, but everybody can help somebody: make small steps in a positive direction. 29:27
💲 Every little bit matters - companies listen to our dollars: wherever you are, leave the place cleaner than you found it. 32:15

🏝️ Roberta Hughes is the founder and lead instructor at PeaceFull Living: give yourself permission to go on vacation. 03:29
🇷🇸 How your family background can impact your self-care. 05:12
💪 You may need to spend some effort strengthening your self-care muscle the same way you do your business muscle. 08:05
🧘‍♀️ Invest in yourself so you can know what nurturing feels like - meditation is excellent for rest & relaxation. 10:11
✅ Carve out white space in your calendar to make time for human moments - Jennifer went from 60 to 50 minutes of coaching to integrate a zen break into her schedule. 15:01
🐎 Recognize the symptoms before burnout occurs, set boundaries, and find things that evoke a sense of peace and calm within your body - like a horse or a motorcycle. 16:20
💆‍♀️ Create a ritual that you can immerse yourself in. 21:26
🧠 Lower brain waves are where our body is inspired by creativity - an overactive brain can't tap into it. 24:17
🗓️ Permit yourself to fuel your productivity so that you can be the best version of yourself: schedule zen breaks with the natural rhythm of your workflow. 25:38
💙 Don't put too much pressure on yourself. 30:21
👔 The 90-day breakthrough challenge - nurture habits of growing your business: schedule your day to tackle tasks with your best brain power. 32:26
🫶 Roberta and Jennifer create a sense of “white space balance” together. 39:18
🎯 Anytime we set goals for ourselves, whether for our business or self-care, it should feel scary: shift your focus to intention and the money becomes a byproduct of the provided value. 43:17
💚 Roberta offers a 28 day program devoted to self-care and self-love in February. 45:06

Show Notes:
🌼 We all have a story to tell: what makes us want to be friends with the products we use? 01:34
⛱️ Marketing is a big umbrella and branding is sitting under that umbrella. 07:00
✅The primary deliverables for every branding project include a strategic and a creative side: who are your target customers? 09:32
🤝 Jennifer's experience with rebranding was that it's a painful process: partner with the right people. 14:27
📊 Branding should be about gathering data and putting it together in a cool and fresh way. 17:55
👉 The evolution of a brand implies maintenance: there are signs that you might need a rebranding - do your external research. 21:32
🎯 Don't limit yourself to working with people inside your industry: if you're working with a larger agency make sure to meet the whole team and know who your point person is. 25:30
✨ It's not helpful to compare brands - your team should create something by itself: have a few options, choose what you like, collaborate, and give your input. 29:35
 💲The distribution piece is marketing, not branding: the price range for branding is huge - check what's available for your business and invest smartly. 32:29
⏳  It's tempting to get your stuff out there as quickly as possible, but it might be a waste of time and money. 36:28

As Dr. Marissa strongly believes, we were born to be happy. Happiness is a birthright that we have forgotten. Most of us go from being a worry-free kid who can truly enjoy life to being an adult who is constantly bombarded by trauma, pain, shame, and judgement. In fact, 7 out of 10 people have gone through some sort of past trauma that still haunts them in the present day. All of this gets in the way of our ability to truly be happy. 

So what can we do about this? We chose differently. We see what is causing us unhappiness and dis-ease, and we chose a new path, a new reality for ourselves. It all lies in the power of choice. A choice you make every single day to take the responsibility for your own happiness and reclaim your birthright.

This one is jam-packed with value. I promise you that. You will not want to miss this episode.

Results are tangible. You can see the money in your bank account, fit into your ideal jean size, you have the endurance to run the race, you have a great loving relationship, it’s real.

I was reading a book on productivity and the author summed it up almost painfully clear – look at all the work you are doing, and what results are you getting? 

If you’re not getting the tangible, real-results you want, let’s look at why…

What I mean by this is when there’s no space, you won’t feel motivated to change your life – you are stuck in just surviving each day – you may not have the energy to care about your health, or pursue your hobbies or interests – when there’s no space and people ask you for things you may find yourself getting angry or defensive, or reacting in a way that’s kind of unpleasant to be around... then you feel guilty or shameful, beat yourself up and the process keeps repeating.

It’s so important to eliminate this state of overwhelm from your life so you can create the space you need to bring in the fun stuff like love, joy, laughter, and patience, compassion, understanding, gratitude.  When you are in a constant state of busy, rush, hurry, survive the day, I have no idea what to do next, all those really wonderful feelings and emotions you WANT to be feeling get pushed to the side.

In this episode I'll also share my Brain Dump exercise and how to start asking Power Questions

It’s a terrible feeling and in a recent Gallop study they found 55% of Americans are stressed out and overwhelmed during their day. That’s 20% higher than the world average of 35%.

When we are going through our day overwhelmed we don’t think as clearly, we are not as productive as we could be, we make more mistakes, having to re-do work because we didn’t have the time to really think through it, that causes us to experience more negative emotions like disappointment, frustration, and shame, then all of that robs us of our happiness, health, and well being.

That’s why I feel it’s so important to start understanding overwhelm for what it truly is – and that may surprise you a bit. I know it was somewhat mind blowing for me when I first learned the truth about it.
