What is an embodied business and why does it matter? Is it a drive for something more than bro-land entrepreneurship? Is it a chance to bring everything that you are to everything you do? Is it a more energized forward propulsion, when your heart is leaping out of your chest? Yes, to all of it…and more.We are putting all our chips on the table in support of Decartes’ Error and saying that separating reason from emotion is the biggest mistake you can make in your business. If that piques your interest or pushes your buttons, this is an episode you’re gonna wanna listen to. Fuck bifurcation. Fuck compartmentalization. Which doesn’t mean you’re a hot mess, or overshare, or have poor boundaries. It means you’re doing the hard thing and acknowledging, with wisdom and grace, everything that you are. And the truth is, the more aware you are, the more skilled you are, the better (more honestly and easefully) you can navigate all of the complexities of your business and your life. As usual, the show is long enough to stir you up and short enough to listen on your 5 mile drive home in nasty traffic.How to reach us: We welcome your comments, questions, and feedback.

If you’re feeling “allergic” to the word curriculum, never fear. What exactly do we mean by “curriculum design”? Well, we’re gonna tell you. Today we’re talking about how to gain some powerful perspective on your business: what it does, how it interfaces with other things, and how it supports people on their transformation journey AND how you can leverage the “blueprint” or design of brain and body based curriculum to SAVE YOU TIME…so you can be more creative, rest more, and improve the outcomes in your business. It’s time to open your mind and lean into a science-driven, research-based approach to designing every aspect of your business for optimization. Whoa!

We’re talking about some pretty spicy stuff in these next two episodes — another 2 part series — and calling out the BIGGEST PITFALLS coaches and educators face when over personalizing their coaching and teaching. Learn more in this part 1 about how to use transformative, brain-based educational design to make sure you stay accountable to the work you’re doing and the goals your people pay you to help them achieve. Anne is also going to share with us the power of using educational design to support your clients’ intrinsic motivation and insights, while Chantill will take us down the path of the power of contracting and how educational design supports THAT. We have LOTS of examples to share so you can find exactly where you land as a coach and educator and start looking inward to see just where curriculum design can catapult the results you get with every client!How to reach us: We welcome your comments, questions, and feedback.

In our part 2 of “The Truth About Fight + Flight in Your Business” we’re exploring how a Polyvagal-informed approach to your business can guide you in profound ways not only making you feel more at ease, but making your output efforts more flowing, creative, poignant, and clear. Who. Doesn’t. Want. THAT!? In this episode you’ll learn:What you can do in the moment to relieve your fight and flight (panic, overwhelm, manicness, resistance) and overall dysregulation and return to a place of ease and calm and safety….so you can get all of the shit done and feel damn good about it (while sipping a glass of wine at the end of the day NOT on the computer or phone.)We’ll also help you identify what you can do to practice soothing your nervous system in prolonged moments of dysregulation and how to nurture yourself and your business (think teams, clients, systems, marketing/sales) back to safety.And finally, how the hell to gradually teach your nervous system a different way of being in relationship with your business so you can potentially prevent fight and flight experiences all together (not super likely, but not impossible) or at the very least not get stuck there.Dig in and enjoy!

We are entrepreneurs, hear us roar!! Mmhmm. We are creative, driven, problem-solvers and we pride ourselves on all of those things. AND…“being in business” is not always fun or easy. Owning and running your own business is supposed to be liberating and create opportunities for flexibility and freedom. For many of us, it does. And there’s a cost. In this episode we explore just exactly how your nervous system responds to the daily — ummm…minute-to-minute — challenges of running a business. What in your business triggers YOUR unique fight or flight response? How does your unique fight or flight manifest? How can you down regulate just enough to harness the energy of “I can” before you freak the f*&#k out? Learn the different ways fight or flight can manifest in your business as we look at common causes, responses, and solutions. How to reach us: We welcome your comments, questions, and feedback.
