  • The Entrepreuerial Mental Health Crisis with Shulamit Ber Levtov
    2024/10/15

    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 and Experts and present a face of joy and confidence and Success.

    We can really do a number on ourselves.

    But Shulamit is passionate about mitigating the entrepreneurial mental health crisis. She knows that she can preserve your peace of mind as you ride the emotional rollercoaster of running a business. There's such an incredible relief in simply admitting this shit is HARD!

    Talking about our mental health is a powerful way for us to do business differently--discussing mental heal is absolutely a form of activism! I'm so excited for you to listen to this episode!

  • How to Use Storytelling in Your Marketing with Megan Dowd
    2024/10/01

    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 patriarchy and other systems of injustice! Ugh. We don't know we are doing it because we know what we know and we don't know what we don't know--BUT YOU ARE HERE LEARNING WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW AND THAT IS SO FREAKING AWESOME AND I LOVE YOU!

    I can't do this without you and it would be really lovely if you took a moment to subscribe, review, and share that would truly be awesome!

  • Internalized patriarchy and feminism leads to body positivity journey through painting with Beth Knight
    2024/07/23

    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 from art school, Beth picked up her brushes and paint and started to paint the truth of who she is.

    It started with a painting of her crying--not just any crying, but the deep deep crying of a breakdown. She shared it on instagram--a place that she had always used to show people how busy she was and all the cool things she was doing. This was her, raw, and vulnerable. And people loved it. And that opened a door for her to walk through as she continued her personal journey. I can't wait for you to listen to this episode and hear the rest of her incredible story!!

    If you're heading to the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh she will be there with her show, Who Told You to Be Small.

  • The Importance of Involving Marginalized Communities in Decision Making with Sie Savage
    2024/07/02

    This is an important conversation for all of us to hear because it encompasses making change at the governmental level.

    Before I get to the summary I want to celebrate and acknowledge that this is the FIRST MAN I've interviewed for the podcast! Yay! Sie is amazing and wonderful and I love him and I hope you do, too!

    Sie works in the nonprofit world in the Bay Area, and he is currently working transitional youth to get them housed (you may know that affordable housing in the Bay Area is a huge problem.)

    In this important conversation, we discuss the challenges faced by marginalized communities, particularly transitional age youth and young adults, in accessing healthcare and other essential resources. Sie shows us the need for more inclusive and culturally sensitive approaches to healthcare, and the importance of involving marginalized communities in decision-making processes to avoid perpetuating systems of oppression. Sie highlights the systemic obstacles faced by these young adults, including housing and self-sufficiency challenges, burnout, and the need for a holistic approach that considers the broader social and economic factors impacting their lives.

  • Care as a Leadership Practice with Allison Staiger
    2024/06/18

    When you think of care workers what comes to mind? For me, I imagined nurses, nurses aids, home healthcare workers, hospice workers...so when Allison told me the care workers she started working with was MOTHERS I had to truly reflect on my own biases! And yet, in some ways, mothers are the ultimate care workers. In this conversation Allison unfolds her journey as a care worker (social worker and therapist) working with other care workers and the patterns that became clear to her through this work--and how that lead her to incorporate CARE and a LEADERSHIP practice. Allison shines such a clear light on this topic--a topic that is woven through with patriarchal, capitalist, and white supremacy culture beliefs and norms.

    We discuss:

    •Care work as a valuable leadership practice.

    •Care work, patriarchy, and resistance.

    •Trauma-informed care and coaching for therapists and other care professionals.

    •Weaponizing care skills in oppressive systems.

    •Matriarchal vs patriarchal business values and their impact on leadership, growth, and sustainability.

  • When Your Job Puts You in the ER with Shannon O’Malley
    2024/06/04

    This is an incredible conversation with Global Fund for Women's Everyday Feminist Fellow. From working to prevent child sexual exploitation in Thailand with the Freedom Story to coordinating global, capacity-building workshops with the Nike Foundation, Shannon’s career has been driven by the power of brand to create social change. Shannon has a wide scope of experience and knowledge and she shares so much of it with us. We dive into how she started doing that work--how she kept saying YES to invitations that took her down so many roads. We also dive into the nonprofit world in general and how, despite truly good intentions, that world unintentionally mimics harmful patriarchal norms--norms that had Shannon end up in the ER at one point.

    Shannon is so open and so generous--you're going to be as entranced with her story and her experiences as I am. I can't wait for you to listen!
