   Ep 21: Unpacking the Myths of Work, Being an Artist, and Wealth with Alexandra Moreno (Live, 1:1 Coaching Session)

   Introducing a new segment of OFF THE DEEP END! I'm doing live, 1:1 coaching sessions with folks in my community for free! If you'd like to join me for a live session for free email me at erin@erinkmonahan.com Today's episode features the incredible singer/songwriter, multi-disciplinary artist, Alexandra Moreno who wants to create unique offerings that reflect her values. She has several ideas, including jingle creation, voice coaching, copywriting and editing, consulting for artists applying for grants, and astrology and intuition services. Time stamps are below. We discuss her hesitancy to label herself and fears being stuck in a certain role or pigeon-holed. We cannonball into the challenges of making money as an artist and the shame that creeps in for most, if not all of us, who are trying to make a living doing what we love. The conversation explores the idea of creating a new relationship with translation as a means of survival. The discussion also touches on the power of reframing and shifting strategies to create different outcomes, the idea that sometimes "rejection is protection," the fear of being judged for embracing spiritual practices like astrology and intuition consulting. We also explore the paradoxical, subconscious belief that has been running unchallenged in the back of Alexandra's mind that asking for money is only valid if you don't actually need it. Money trauma works in mysterious and insidious ways. Join us for this beautiful conversation and join the Alexandra Moreno fan club at the links below! CEO of the fan club is already taken by yours truly, but we have plenty of room for fellow fan-girls/boys/theys/thems.

   Ep 20: How to Navigate Criticism/Feedback/Being Called-Out (Part 1)

   In this episode, Erin shares her experience of receiving feedback and criticism for printing merch (https://www.terraincognitamedia.com/terra-shop) for a Terra Incognita Media (https://www.terraincognitamedia.com/) fundraiser from a former Terra community member. She discusses the importance of discernment when receiving feedback, explores the concept of white feminism and the need for continuous learning and unlearning, and reflects on her own journey of “waking up” to her attachment to the construct of whiteness and the mistakes she made along the way. The episode highlights the complexities of navigating feedback and the importance of self-reflection and growth. She discusses the importance of coupling somatic healing with anti-racist work, and how they go hand in hand. Erin also addresses how too often as white women (people) we channel our anger and grief at each other because we’re easier and more accessible targets than the out-of-reach systems, institutions, and corporations who are contributing the most to climate chaos and oppression. Individuals and small businesses are not the same as big corporations or entire extractive industries. She explores the concept of discernment and the dangers of holding each other to impossible standards. Erin plans to continue the discussion in part two, where she will delve into advice as to how to navigate criticism, feedback, and call-outs, and provide insights as to how to continue showing up as a confident and capable leader and being visible in your work.

   19: The Saturnian Nature of Entrepreneurship and The Myths that the Coaching Industry Sells

   “How can you harmonize with your business while being in capitalism?” A brilliant question posed by Chantel Chapman, co-founder of the Trauma of Money. In this episode Erin explores this question, and goes off the deep end about the VERY Saturnian nature of building a business, the highs and lows she’s experienced, her own frustrations with entrepreneurship, the illustrious smoke and mirrors of the coaching industry, the bullshit that was peddled by the charlatan Tim Ferris about the 4-hour work week, and how we can take the pressure off ourselves to be “there” when the point is to be right *here.* Thank you to Sky Daddy Saturn for inspiring this episode and making a surprise appearance throughout!
