What do you do when it feels hard to show up in your business? Do you push yourself and grind it out, or do you scale back and slow down? If you’re a longtime listener of the show, I think you can guess which one I lean toward. :D It is so important for us to have self-compassion when these hard days (or weeks, or months!) show up in our businesses. They are a part of life, so it is important to have the space to slow things down when we need to. But so many people design their businesses as if they will always be able to work at full capacity, which makes it hard to scale back when it becomes necessary. In this week’s episode Laura and I are talking about this topic because we’ve both felt the need to step back and slow down lately. Whether it’s a sick kid, a lack of creative energy or a need to redefine our business, it is so crucial to be able to take a breather from our work when we feel that it is needed. Laura and I dive into capacity, why we need to build space into our business model, and how we can be compassionate with ourselves when we aren’t showing up at 100%.

EP152: Showing Up Compassionately for Challenging Days in Business

When you speak, do you speak from an aligned place? Do you feel rooted in your experiences, truth, and unique perspective? I think that it is so important for every woman to develop their own voice, whether you are operating in the world of business or just in life. Uncovering your authentic voice isn’t something that can be planned out or approached strategically. You have to integrate life’s experiences and develop your own perspective over time. That is how you develop a voice that can help change the world.  In this week’s episode I’m joined by a special guest: Sunshine Kamaloni! Sunshine and I have worked together as she’s not only developed her voice but started her business. Sunshine is an advocate for a more feminine approach to social justice and equity. Her work aims to disrupt, question and shift long-held narratives about justice in order to encourage new and more embodied ways of being in the world.  Sunshine is the perfect person to talk about how you can raise your voice for the things you’re passionate about, but do so in a way that is authentic to you and rooted in your feminine power. We also discuss having congruity between how you think, feel, and show up and how this alignment shines through when you speak.  Join us in the <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/womeninthebusinessarena">Women in the Business Arena Group</a> on Facebook - we would love to have you!

EP151: Discovering Your Voice and Your Power with Sunshine Kamaloni

When you’re going about your day and ticking things off your business to do list, do you pause to check in with your intuition? What about when you’re hiring someone to help you in your business. Are you doing it from a place of power, or because you feel like you have no idea what you’re doing and need to be told what to do? These are just a couple areas where bringing a more feminine approach to our businesses can help us feel more confident and grounded. And when we feel confident and grounded in our work, we’re going to make better decisions and create a lot more success. I hope you caught last week’s podcast episode all about bringing a more feminine lens to business. This week, Laura and I are building on that discussion and offering you some practical tips and strategies for integrating the feminine into the way you run your business every single day.  We talk about the balance of masculine and feminine energies in business and why trusting yourself is at the core of this process. We also share some of our favorite ways to check in with the feminine as we work, including how to hire from a place of power and self-compassion and how to stay mindful of time with a more feminine lens.

EP150: (Part 2) Operating Your Business in Your Feminine Power

The world is missing out on so much when we simply follow traditional, masculine patterns of doing business. Running a business from the feminine gives us the opportunity to bring more wisdom, intuition, connection, and nurturing to all of our relationships, both inside and outside of work. This week, Laura and I are kicking off a two-part series about how to operate from the feminine in our businesses and why we should. We love this topic and could talk about it forever, so we thought we would give you a double dose. In this episode, Laura and I are focusing on sharing the context about femininity and business. We talk about why the feminine requires us to trust ourselves completely, why it is so easy to fall back into ill-fitting, masculine patterns of doing business, and why a more feminine approach to business is so necessary.  Join us in the <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/womeninthebusinessarena">Women in the Business Arena Group</a> on Facebook - we would love to have you!

EP149: (Part 1) Operating Your Business in Your Feminine Power

Have you ever said to yourself, “I don’t know where my clients are!” or “I don’t know anyone!” or “It’s impossible to find clients!” We’ve all been there. It can feel so hard to find clients without seeming salesy or disingenuous. But you do want to find them, because you want to serve them. So how do you do it? I have found that this is one of the most common challenges entrepreneurs face. They don’t know what their specific target market is, so they don’t know exactly who they are talking to. And they don't know how to communicate about their services clearly and authentically. There are several keys to finding clients, and addressing your business foundation is one of them! Laura and I are talking all about finding clients today and how we connect with people both in person and online. We talk about the importance of knowing how to introduce your business, why you shouldn’t worry too much about sounding salesy, and why you need to be super specific about what you do and who you help.

EP148: Why You Need Skills (Not Tactics) to Find Clients Everywhere

It feels like so many of us go around in a state of dissatisfaction a lot of the time, but I don’t think we are doing it on purpose. I think we get a lot of messages that encourage us to be dissatisfied with our lives, our bodies, how much money we make, how we run our businesses. This can be especially true for entrepreneurs, who live in the perpetual start-up culture of business ownership. When we choose to feel satisfied, we can access our creativity and wisdom from a place of peace, gratitude, and gentleness. We don’t have to participate in the parts of our culture that constantly ask us to go harder, bigger, faster.  In this week’s episode Laura and I are diving into this topic and how we can access satisfaction as a state of being rather than as a goal to achieve. We talk about why a gratitude practice is such a great way to shift into this mindset, how being satisfied positively impacts everyone around us, and how to define your own version of success.

EP147: Don’t Chase Satisfaction - Choose It!

When’s the last time you struck up a conversation with a stranger? Not a conversation about what you do or how your services would be great for them. I just mean a normal conversation where you’re chatting with someone new simply for the joy of connecting with them. I think this art of conversation has been lost a bit in recent years. But being able to strike up a discussion wherever we are is a crucial skill not only for meeting new clients, but for enjoying life in general.  In this week’s episode, Laura and I are diving into the lost art of conversation and why it’s such a great way to connect with people in business. We’re talking about why all marketing is ultimately relationship building, why we can’t always hide behind digital relationships, and how to go into a conversation with the intention to connect.

EP146: Connecting with Clients & Building Community Using the Art of Conversation

We hear so much about work-life balance, especially in the world of entrepreneurship. It feels like there’s a message from society that we need to have a perfect 50/50 split between work and the rest of our lives. But this doesn’t work for a lot of people, and we end up feeling even more out of balance because we’re trying to apply someone else’s framework to our lives. Balance isn’t a destination or another thing to check off our to-do list. It’s a feeling, and it’s unique to each of us. So it’s important that we get really honest with ourselves about what we need if we’re going to maintain our own personal sense of balance. In this week’s episode, Laura and I are talking all about balance and why it’s important to come up with your own unique version of it. We’re chatting about why we can’t try to put someone else’s framework for balance onto our lives and how to figure out if you’re out of balance in the first place. And we share some of the small things that we do to get back to balance and help us maintain our sense of groundedness even when things get busy.

EP145: How to Find Your Unique Definition of Balance

When you hear the word “activism”, I bet you think of people marching in the streets, attending a protest, or knocking on doors in their neighborhoods. While these actions are definitely forms that activism can take, did you know that you can be an activist in your everyday life? How about being an activist in your business? The truth is, activism is accessible to all of us wherever we are right now. As business owners, we work hard every day to improve the lives of our clients.  In today’s episode, Laura and I are talking about activism and what it can look like for entrepreneurs. We chat about how businesses can have a positive impact on the world, how we can make entrepreneurial decisions that help other people, and why it’s important for us to use our voices for good.  Laura and I also share some of the ways we bring activism into our own businesses and give ideas for those of you who want to amplify the good you are already doing.

EP144: How to Be an Activist Entrepreneur (and Why You Should Take a Stand)

There are so many elements that make up a business that is successful, sustainable, and healthy for the person running it. But Laura and I have found over the years that one of the most important, and most overlooked, ingredients is space.  Laura and I have both discovered that when we started taking more space, our lives and businesses improved drastically. Our creative ideas flowed more easily. We still had plenty of time to get everything done. And we felt calmer and more tuned in to ourselves than we ever did when we were rushing around.  We’re dedicating this episode of the podcast to space and all the wonderful things it contains. Laura and I talk about our definition of space, why it can be so hard to carve out in our super-busy world, and why creating space is a game-changer.  Join us in the <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/womeninthebusinessarena">Women in the Business Arena Group</a> on Facebook - we would love to have you!

EP143: Creating Space comes BEFORE success, freedom or fulfillment

Welcome to the new year everyone! I’m so excited for everything this year has in store and I hope you are too. It is a new decade, a new slate, and the perfect time to step into the arena in ways you never have before.  I wanted to share my ideas about leadership with you so much that I decided to hop on a solo episode for this week. I think leadership is an incredibly important topic, especially today and especially for women, so we will be discussing this plenty in 2020.  I think it’s important to define the words we use, and love this definition of leadership: “defining and exhibiting moral and ethical courage”. That is the definition I really want to dig into in this episode.  In this episode I’m sharing my thoughts on leadership and why I think we as women (and as a society) need to re-assess what we think leadership is. I’ll also talk about some of the obstacles that keep women from participating in leadership positions as much as they might like to and why we need to closely examine our past experiences with leadership before we step into it ourselves. And I’ll share a bit more about my new leadership program, Women Changing the Arena™, which I’m thrilled to have out in the world this year.  Join us in the <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/womeninthebusinessarena">Women in the Business Arena Group</a> on Facebook - we would love to have you!

EP142: How to Define Leadership and Follow Your Own Compass

Happy (almost) New Year! If you haven’t done any goal setting for 2020 yet, this episode will help you make some headway and it will help you set goals that are much more aligned with who you really are.  If you can set aside some time this week to not only think up your goals but to really embody them, you’ll be setting yourself up for a strong start to the year.  When we truly embody our goals, we’re less likely to set goals that are solely driven by external factors (like money). Bringing our goals into our physical awareness means they’re probably going to resonate with the things we’re really craving: stability, freedom, space, love, belonging, etcetera.  Laura and I are digging into this wonderful idea in this week’s episode of the podcast and giving you some practical tips for embodiment too. We also talk about why we need to be really honest with ourselves about what we want and stop running away from the things we fear.  Join us in the <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/womeninthebusinessarena">Women in the Business Arena Group</a> on Facebook - we would love to have you!

The Women in the Business Arena community really is an amazing one. You’ve helped us create a supportive, engaged and powerful group of women (and men!) in the arena who are working to make a difference in the lives of clients, loved ones, and people around the world.  Laura and I wanted to take this episode to say thank you and to share our gratitude for all of you. We also wanted to put a spotlight on your four favorite episodes from this year, based on their number of downloads, and talk a little bit about why we think these topics resonated.  In this episode Laura and I chat about your favorite episodes of 2019, why target markets are tricky to understand, and why business success takes more than a laptop and an idea. We also discuss the role of powerful emotions in our businesses and why they can be a great way to connect with our fellow entrepreneurs.  Join us in the <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/womeninthebusinessarena">Women in the Business Arena Group</a> on Facebook - we would love to have you!

EP140: Gratitude for 2019 & The Year’s Top Episodes

Laura and I thought we would tackle another timely topic on this week’s episode of the podcast, since by now the holiday season is well and truly in full swing. Even though it is supposed to be a time of celebration and togetherness, the reality isn’t always so cheery (and that is completely okay).  Oftentimes women are expected to carry the emotional weight of the holidays and make sure everything is magical, everyone is taken care of, and all the plans fall into place. This can be especially difficult if you don’t love the holidays to begin with, but even for women who love all the festivities, it can be too big a burden to handle on your own. Today Laura and I are chatting all about the emotional load of the holidays and how we can carry less of it. It is important to tune into our feelings and needs in this period, take care of ourselves, and then connect with loved ones in the ways we want to.  Join us in the <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/womeninthebusinessarena">Women in the Business Arena Group</a> on Facebook - we would love to have you!

Even though it is supposed to be a time of celebration and togetherness, the reality isn’t always so cheery (and that is completely okay).  Oftentimes women are expected to carry the emotional weight of the holidays and make sure everything is magical, everyone is taken care of, and all the plans fall into place. This can be especially difficult if you don’t love the holidays to begin with, but even for women who love all the festivities, it can be too big a burden to handle on your own. Today Laura and I are chatting all about the emotional load of the holidays and how we can carry less of it. It is important to tune into our feelings and needs in this period, take care of ourselves, and then connect with loved ones in the ways we want to.  Join us in the Women in the Business Arena Group on Facebook - we would love to have you!
