How to Lead Now with Dr. Dee Frayne
Business as Activism with Elijah Selby
Today I have a crucial conversation with Dr. Dee Frayne to discuss the importance of values-based integrity, influence, and impact in leadership. Dee champions feminist leaders, helping them to embody their values, avoid burnout, and lead with compassion and integrity. She contrasts "power with" versus "power over" leadership--a model of power that is something still so rare in our culture, yet is so imperative in creating the just world we desire. Showing up in today's business landscape with integrity is more important than ever--Dee walks us through her three pillars of Integrity,...

Resistance
Business as Activism with Elijah Selby
I have pushed the unpause button (unpushed the pause button?) and hit play again! Happy New Year. In this episode I let you know what's been going on for me in the past two years--long, dark, night of the soul stuff--and how I can feel I'm entering a season of rebirth. And it feels so freaking good. I also reflect on Trump's first term and what this next term might mean for us. Related to all this, I share about a download I received (I'm letting my Woo Flag fly!) about bringing women together the weekend after the inauguration. I have created the Resistance Retreat and I tell you a little bit...

Patriarchy and Misogyny Post Election Chat with Kari Morin and Lisa Callahan
Business as Activism with Elijah Selby
Weeks ago, I invited Kari Morin and Lisa Callahan from The Things We Know podcast to join me for a conversation about misogyny, inspired by an episode they did on the topic. Our conversation was scheduled for Thursday, November 7th, two days after the election. We knew misogyny would still be around – but we hoped we’d be celebrating a breakthrough, perhaps even the election of our nation’s first female president, and a woman of color at that! Alas, as you know, that was not the case. We came to the call with grief, sadness, anger, and fear. We don’t have all the answers right now. But...

The Entrepreuerial Mental Health Crisis with Shulamit Ber Levtov
Business as Activism with Elijah Selby
Entrepreneurship gives freedom and opportunity to so many people. As women, moms, neurodivergents, people who can't do a traditional 9 - 5 job, creatives, and anyone who doesn't fit the cookie cutter mold, entrepreneurship offers us so much potential. AND--entrepreneurship affects our mental health in specific ways that "regular" jobs don't. And yet--we all fall prey to the glamorized stories of success, laying on the beach sipping cocktails while the money rolls in...and so we hide the stress, anxiety and depression and shame ourselves for having those feelings because we have to be Leaders...

How to Use Storytelling in Your Marketing with Megan Dowd
Business as Activism with Elijah Selby
I'm pretty sure you're going to agree that Megan is AWESOME. And yes, she seriously walks us through HOW to use story in marketing and why that is effective--more so than any other guest I've had on the podcast. Thank you, Megan! But we also talk about soooooo many other juicy things. We dig into the thing we see often--people talking about income in order to sell their programs. We look at Motherhood and Being a Business Owner and patriarchal messaging we get around that. And we continue the conversation I love to have with everyone--how we actually mimic (and therefore reinforce) the...

Internalized patriarchy and feminism leads to body positivity journey through painting with Beth Knight
Business as Activism with Elijah Selby
On paper, Beth Knight was incredibly successful. She was an ex-pat living in London, working a tech job, and making excellent money. Her job and income gave her prestige. It really was the kind of life that our culture tells us is exactly the life we should all strive for and that will make us HAPPY! Success! Money! Instead...in her own words, "I was dying inside. I just hated myself." When COVID hit, she was forced to sit still for the first time in her life--and the self-reflection that came with that changed everything. She enrolled in coaching programs and got into therapy. A graduate...

Breaking Free From the Matrix of the PR World and Embracing Authenticity
At one point in her career, author and coach Helen Jane Campbell was pulled into a room (along with the other women in the firm) and told what kind of underwear they should wear underneath their work clothes. That somebody ever thought that it was okay to dictate women what kind of underwear they should wear is jaw-dropping but it also is exemplary of the Patriarchy in the workplace...and life, really. It may be jaw-dropping, but you know what? We women participate in this dictatorship or how we should look and what we should wear every day. We don't necessarily even understand that we are doing that until someone lifts the veil for us. Well, we are lifting the veil! Helen shares her remarkable journey with us from working in PR, buying the right handbags, having the right haircut, and doing all she could to fit it, to BREAKING FREE of that and discovering her true authentic self. She has two decades of PR experience that she brings to the table and applies that knowledge in a disruptive way to help change the narrative! It's so compelling and really exciting! I can't wait for you to listen!
