Ep #22 - Releasing Embarrasment, Shame and Guilt Through Telling Your Story

Stephanie has disrupted the norm by choosing writing as her profession, despite people's discouragement. Stephanie used the discouragement of becoming a writer to become a writing coach and help others find joy in their own storytelling.  Stephanie believes that too often, generations are steered into professions that are profitable, but not necessarily purposeful or enjoyable.  She chose not to have children, and those from her generation feel sorry for her, but she sees movements popping up that give women and non-binary people more choices.  She believes that everyone should be able to pursue their passions and take a stand for what they believe in. Conversation topics included:  how to pull stories out of people, particularly women, who have experienced trauma or personal loss.  howoften women are discouraged from sharing their stories due to fear of hurting someone or being judged.  hiding behind stories, suffering in silence and living in these stories without speaking out.  being mindful of the stories you share, careful with what is said and written, and to recognizing the importance of sharing one's story in order to help and heal. Listen in as Stephanie talks about the best way to get a story out.

Ep #21 - Step Into Body Peace and End Body War

This week our speaker, Nina Manolson, discusses how body peace is the opposite of the kind of aggressive conversations that many women have with themselves about food, where they judge themselves negatively and don't listen to the wisdom of their body. She explains that food doesn't have a moral value and that it is just food, and she recalls her own experience with Overeater's Anonymous at age 19. She encourages people to be kind to themselves and to recognize that food is just food. Nina, a self-love and body positivity expert, explains how a conversation with her mother about a corn muffin she ate changed the way she looks at food. Her mother asked her what was in the muffin, and Nina realized she had been giving food the power to make her a good or bad person. She advises listeners to ask themselves if they are enjoying a food, and if they are eating it out of low blood sugar or because it is a forbidden food. Nina explains that unpacking our relationship with food can be a doorway to understanding our deeper issues, and that even if our relationship with our body is not positive, it is important to notice and understand our feelings around it.

Ep #20 - Creating An Explosive Power Partnership

Jordan and Paul Aspen are currently running a business together called Civilized Animal Productions.  Jordan is passionate about this business because when she and Paul were dating, she was cautioned against dating another creative type. However, she has realized that passion is essential for a healthy relationship.   They started out as roommates who had a mutual friend. Despite not having an immediate attraction for one another, they built a friendship through their shared love of poetry and writing. They started reading Paradise Lost together, and from there their relationship blossomed. They found that they could be a powerful couple together and have a productive, explosive relationship that was directed outward, not toward each other. They found success in running a business together and have created a beautiful and balanced relationship. Listen in as Jordan shares what caused tension between her and her husband and how they use that tension to create an explosive power partnership.  Calls-to-action: Get your free gift here: bit.ly/financialwealthstartshere [https://bit.ly/financialwealthstartshere] When you're ready to turn your vision into victory to live the life in your journals: visiontovictorytour.com [https://visiontovictorytour.com/] Give Jordan some digital currency on Instagram [//instagram.com/askjordanaspen] or message her here [//t.me/jordanaspen ] Highlights: Instead of pulling away from the tension and then creating more tension because you're fighting against the tension, lean into the tension, because eventually, when the synergy happens, the tension is going to create an explosion. Boundaries are necessary everywhere, and you need to know your personal boundaries, and we need to communicate, communicate them clearly, but also communicate them ongoing because boundaries can shift and change.

Ep #18 - Healing Trauma and Achieving Your Visionary Goals

Running a business, especially as a solo entrepreneur, can be hard and society tells us push through, keep going and huste hard to get to the top. All the meanwhile, we're ignoring the messages our body is sending. Cindy Costly is a CEO leader who is talking about childhood trauma, at ages 6, 14 and 15, its effects, and our natural protection.  She shares her own experiences and how her body has been a vessel to show how traumas can affect us. She also talks about how we can use our natural protection to help us heal and move forward. Additionally, she emphasizes the importance of taking care of ourselves, both mentally and physically. By understanding our traumas and their effects, we can begin to heal and live a more powerful life. Cindy had lived with severe allergies since she was 15. She had allergic reactions to nearly all animals, foods, chemicals, and plant life. For 34 years she has lived with this diagnosis, relying on the support of her family and friends to help her get through doing everyday life stuff.  She had come to terms with her allergies, accepting them as part of her life. She tried everything to heal, but eventually just settled into the fact that she had won the allergy lottery. Just ready for her soul to dance, Cindy, found a functional Western medicine doctor who told her to try a desensitization technique. Through healers, she learned that every single reaction was caused by the trauma she'd experienced at ages 6, 14, and 15. Her body was trying to protect her from further trauma.  Her body was actually trying to tell her something.  By speaking about her experiences, she hopes to provide insight and understanding to those who may be suffering in similar ways.
