   The Self Acceptance Revolution with Hannah Holt

   When you look in the mirror-what do you see? More importantly, what do you think? How we see ourselves is a topic laced with hidden judgment, murky thoughts and for many, a dollop of self-loathing. Whether it’s your fluctuating weight, the appearance of wrinkles as you age or how big/small parts of your body are, the way you perceive your physical appearance and your “enough-ness” can impact so many areas of our lives, often in sneaky & insidious ways. Well, in this episode alongside self-acceptance coach Hannah Holt–we discuss it all as well as practical ways you can start to turn your story of self around. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle of negative self-talk fuelled by not feeling good enough because you don’t look a certain way, this episode is for you. We discuss: * What is self-acceptance? * Practical things you can do to start being nicer to yourself * The role of family & culture in our self-image * Bums, botox & the “pretty privilege" * Making peace with getting older * Discerning between self-acceptance and self-sabotage Please review/leave a comment wherever you’re listening if you enjoy this episode!

   A Guided Reflection Exercise for 2023

   As we inch closer to 2024, one of the most powerful things you can do to set yourself up for a purposeful year ahead is to take a moment to look back and reflect on what *really* happened this year.

    Desiring Less with Solas Forest

    This week, we had the pleasure of sitting down with self-relationship coach, Solas Forest, to continue our conversation from our last episode, where we delved into the expansive topic of Desire. We covered a lot of ground in this episode including: * What is “self-relationship” and what impact does it have on claiming our desires? * Is following your desire only for those with privilege? * What really motivated Solas to move to Italy, because it wasn’t desire… or was it? We also talked about feeling like outsiders, the notion of an “inner calling” and the role gender plays in self-relationship. Solas also shares her *honest* thoughts about being part of The POD community, and we talk about why it’s priced the way it is. *** Prefer to watch?

    Navigating Desire: Ego vs. Soul

    In our first-ever episode of the Doing Business Differently podcast, we’re diving deep into the complex world of desire and its profound impact on our lives, especially in the context of business and entrepreneurship. Join us as we explore the distinction between ego-driven desires and soulful aspirations, shedding light on how they shape our actions and influence our perceptions. *** We also share our personal journeys, revealing how desire played a pivotal role in both our entrepreneurial journeys. We also discuss the idea that true desires often emerge as a subtle nudge, like a flicker of light in the belly, and how our minds and bodies can react with resistance and fear. We explore the importance of distinguishing between ego-driven desires rooted in external validation and soul desires that align with our authentic selves. As the conversation unfolds, we consider the ever-evolving nature of desire and how it's not about creating a static list of wants but rather embracing the dynamic journey of self-discovery and curiosity. Listen along to discover how understanding this intricate interplay between ego and soul desires can transform your approach to business and life.
