Season 9 Episode 8: Anuradha Kowtha on the Crucial and the Quicksand 03/09/2023

Season 9 Episode 8: Anuradha Kowtha on the Crucial and the Quicksand I hope you're all ready for a deep one today, because I've really been looking forward to sharing this conversation with all of you. On this week's episode, I spoke with Anuradha Kowtha. Anuradha runs the Kowtha Constellation, where they help small business owners build ethical, accessible, and inclusive practices into their systems, all with the goal of sustainable growth. I truly appreciated Anuradha's deep, thoughtful, and nuanced perspectives while we talked about: Nourishing the places we've neglected, and honing our foundations Planning for the "tides" in business Not allowing shame to define us Recognizing the difference between knowing something intellectually, and processing it emotionally The interconnected nature of grieving, both internally and communally (and that really only scratches the surface) "I know it seems silly to say, in our society as it is now, I'm going to stop and cry and that's going to fix anything. It's daunting. But [...] it would be wonderful if we could incorporate a grief practice, even if it's just a small practice, in our day to day or month to month routine. Before we plan, before we build a foundation, before we decide what sort of edits, we also decide, I'm going to spend time with the feelings, too." Anuradha, thank you again for spending time with me on the show and sharing your stories and insights with our listeners.

Season 9 Episode 7: The Beautiful Opportunities in Catalytic Events 03/02/2023

Season 9 Episode 6: Shulamit Ber Levtov on Being Stronger With Support 02/23/2023

Season 9 Episode 6: Shulamit Ber Levtov on Being Stronger With Support This week's guest is Shulamit Ber Levtov, the Entrepreneurs' Therapist and co-founder of the Business Therapy Centre. In an era of relentless stressors that can make you lose your sh*t on the daily, Shulamit works with women business owners to care for their mental and emotional wellbeing. That sense of care really came through during our time together. This truly was an "alive" conversation, full of new awareness of ourselves and the world. Tune in to hear us explore ideas like: Falling back into the arms of what is... even when it's easier to be busy than to get quiet Navigating the tension between our life forward impulse and the arbitrary deadlines we impose on that impulse Honoring transparency and context in close relationships — and in leadership "I wish for the world a wave of folks who are self-connected in the best way possible. In a way that serves life in them and others, as opposed to a bunch of people in power. We have the belief that if we just get the right people in power, things will be fine, but power is the issue. That model of power is what's creating the problem, not the people in it. I'm just wishing for a wave of a different way." Shulamit, I can't thank you enough for our deep and thoughtful conversation — because chats like these are why I started this podcast in the first place!

Season 9 Episode 5: The Importance of Allowing When You're Moving Through Grief 02/16/2023

Season 9 Episode 4: Understanding Your Intuition and Coming Into Alignment with Lucia Doynel 02/09/2023

Season 9 Episode 4: Understanding Your Intuition and Coming Into Alignment with Lucia Doynel No matter what industry you're in, I'm sure you've seen the nearly endless amount of advice for taking the best selfies and making the highest performing reels (or Tiktoks, for that matter). But none of those tips are going to help if you feel awful whenever you're in front of the camera. That's where my guest this week, Lucia Doynel, comes in! Lucia helps coaches feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera using Spiritual Psychology tools. When it comes to visibility and intuition, this is a woman who clearly walks her talk. Our conversation went in a few directions I didn't expect, so tune in to hear about: The intersection of leadership as it relates to intuition — and how her intuition shows up Discerning what intuition feels like vs a trauma trigger Prioritizing ethical behavior and consent when engaging in healing work Viewing our jobs and hobbies as containers where we grow, heal, and learn The importance of visibility (especially when you're resistant to it) "People will try to do everything in their power to avoid [being seen]... Where is that coming from? Usually, if we dig into it, it's coming from a place of resistance, not from a place of allowing. And that, to me, is a tell. If you're resisting something, it's probably not your intuition. It's probably something that needs healing." Lucia, I can't thank you enough for coming onto the show this week! I loved our conversation and I just know my listeners will, too. If you'd like to learn more about Lucia and her work in the world, check her out on Instagram or her website https://luciadoynel.com/ As always, I'd love to hear from you.

Season 9 Episode 2: Creating Stories and Community with Marissa Loewen 01/26/2023

Season 9 Episode 2: Creating Stories and Community with Marissa Loewen My very first guest for season 9 of the New Wave Leadership podcast is none other than Marissa Loewen! While she has a corporate background in media, marketing, communications, online sales and web design, her first foray into business ownership was a thriving food service business at the age of 11. (Yes, you read that right!) These days, Marissa working with small business owners to create the rules in order to create thriving, resilient, prosperous businesses that fuel the business owner. We had a spirited conversation to kick off the season in style. Tune in to hear all about: Leading yourself first, because leadership is more than just decision making Having time for yourself, when you're building up those around you Removing the shame and judgment around making mistakes Her biggest goal and wish in life (and why it ISN'T perfection) Seeing others as whole people, so that we can see ourselves as whole people "If bad stuff happens, I know that I've got the community, the support network, the skills, the tools, in order to go an be in it. Face it, conquer it, do whatever I need to do, but get through it. [...] You can have all the tools, you can have all the systems, but you need the people. I need it, as much as I'm an introvert, as much as I'm shy. I know that I need people. And if I've got that, I think I'm golden." Marissa, thank you so much for coming onto the show today!

Season 8 Episode 3: Existing Through the "Icky" Space with Sascha Schlossberg This week, I'm super excited to share my conversation with Sascha Schlossberg! An internet marketer since 2013, Sascha utilizes a mix of brand messaging and content strategy that makes it easy to help her clients grow — without having to hire anyone or implement more things. Her background in acting has given her insights into human psychology that underpins her work and makes lead generation strategy a breeze. She also shares so candidly when speaking about all aspects of her journey: personal, professional, you name it. We had an amazing time talking all about: Showing up responsibly as a leader with your content How doing everything "right" doesn't necessarily mean you'll make everybody happy Compartmentalization, gratitude, and forgiveness Growing a business (with your partner!) while also navigating the unexpected trauma responses to that growth and so much more! "[I was on] this hamster wheel of how do I prevent this? How do I prevent this? And then it just resulted in all of these blocks [...] because so much of the messaging and what people are talking around trauma is like this responsibility and this duty to not traumatize your clients. When, what I had found was that in all of my efforts to do everything right, I was the one that was buried and nobody talked about that." Sascha, I can't thank you enough for coming onto the show this week! I know the listeners will enjoy our conversation as much as I did. Interested in learning more about working with Sascha?

Season 7 Ep 18: Tracey Forde on Infusing Love, Kindness, and Joy This week, I'm thrilled to welcome Tracey Forde back to the show! Tracey is a wife, mother, entrepreneur and FIERCE female. While she's currently a Trauma Healing and Mindset coach, speaker, author & businesswoman, the road she took to get there was a winding one. Having focused on the work of healing, Tracey empowers Black women to live life on their own terms, and be fearless, authentic, and unapologetic. I so loved hearing the insights Tracey had to share, including: How she came to join READY What surprised her about the program The importance of breaking generational cycles to not just survive, but thrive ...and a whole lot more! "In this cohort, I'm so excited to be partnering with all of these women, learning with them and growing with them, because it's not just about them learning to be trauma sensitive, it's their heart. They absolutely have some of the hugest hearts I've ever seen. And it's just amazing to be a part of part of that because I'm new to this. So even though this is my niche — trauma healing for black women — it's still new. [...] So having the different perspectives, the education, the experience and the lived experiences. Oh my gosh. What a beautiful melting pot for me to gather and learn information that I can actually grow. Not just personally, but professionally." Tracey, thank you so much for coming onto the show again.

Season 7 Ep 16: Mai-kee Tsang on Making Mistakes and Learning in Real Time 02/24/2022

Season 7 Ep 16: Mai-kee Tsang on Making Mistakes and Learning in Real Time My guest this week is Mai-kee Tsang, host of the Quiet Rebels Podcast. Mai-kee is also a podcast guesting trainer and sustainable visibility mentor who helps underestimated and underrepresented women-identifying entrepreneurs to become safer, be seen as they become more visible, and deepen their impact on the world. Back in season 3, she came onto the show to discuss podcasting, leadership, and letting go of "should," but today she's here to talk all about her experiences with READY! Tune in to hear about: Her thoughts on visibility and trauma, and how this led her to the program Making mistakes, crying, and being FULLY human Her biggest takeaways from READY "The majority of conversations around visibility is just 'Put yourself out there' and it's very dismissive. It fails to validate and acknowledge the lived experiences that we have that have been less than beautiful. And so becoming aware of how my own trauma impacts, how I show up. I really wanted to start doing that deeper work with other people, but it didn't feel right for me. It didn't feel in integrity for me to do it without any further training[...] So I really want to see from multiple lenses because I carry my own lived experiences." Mai-kee, thank you so much for coming onto the podcast again and sharing your experiences with us. Want more from Mai-kee? Of course you do!

Season 7 Ep 14: Megan Hale on Changing the Space You're Able to Hold 02/17/2022

Season 7 Ep 14: Megan Hale on Changing the Space You're Able to Hold Welcome back, everyone! This week, I'm excited to share my conversation with business strategist and money mentor Megan Hale! She works with freedom driven entrepreneurs who are ready to step into feel good money and create sustainable, aligned business growth. Megan is also a former psychotherapist, a previous guest on the podcast, and a graduate of the READY program. Megan shared so beautifully about her experiences with READY, including: The importance of taking a holistic lens and NOT bypassing What it means to be a compassionate leader Witnessing AND celebrating each other How having the right tools can be a massive catalyst "Not only do we have our own lived experiences that we're going through, but we also have collective lived experiences that are oftentimes very traumatic. And to think that we're just going to bypass those, or we're just going to go on as business as usual — that's not the real live human experience. So I think oftentimes when we don't have the words, we don't have the tools, we don't have the training, we can sometimes shy away from having conversations that really need to be had. [...] That is such a gift that can be such a catalyst for helping people take that next step forward. But if you don't have the tools, it's really easy to not trust yourself to open that conversation, to hold that space, to check in with your people in that way." Megan, thank you so much for being a part of READY and for coming on the show to share your experiences with everyone.

Season 7 Ep 12: Reigniting the Fire with Karen Hochheiser 02/10/2022

Season 7 Ep 12: Reigniting the Fire with Karen Hochheiser Welcome back to Serving it HOT! Today, I'm excited to share my chat with counselor, coach, and educator Karen Hochheiser. In her work, she utilizes a collaborative approach to care in order to support the whole person. Karen's trajectory — from coach to now training as a mental health counselor — has been a little different from what we normally see in this space, and she brings a unique perspective to her experiences with READY. Tune in to hear all about: Why she joined the program, and how she sees the work fitting in with her future Her thoughts on the benefits of supervision in the coaching space Her favorite thing she learned while in the READY program "This is the third coach training program I've been through and I haven't had one with this amount of one-on-one time built into the program. It's something that I've been used to from the counseling perspective, meeting with a supervisor. So it's been really nice to have that added to process what comes up in the group. Also, I appreciate about the space too, is that you leave it open to whatever it is that we're going through or dealing with. It's been a space where I've been able to talk through some of the ways that things have showed up for me, day-to-day and in my work." Karen, thank you again for sharing your experiences and perspective on the show today! You make it so clear that READY is for folks across a wide variety of backgrounds, and in many different professions. I want to thank all of my listeners as well.
