Who tells you that you’re doing a good job?If you are a grown-up, solo entrepreneur, you don’t have a boss or a teacher or a parent telling you that you checked all your boxes and gotten a good report card. So, whose voice do you hear at the end of the day when you declare “I did a good job!” or “I didn’t measure up”?Is that voice measuring your work against your values? Or the values of a system you are trying to create your way out of? Do you WANT to believe the archetypes of The Boss, The

2021/05/13

Our students are real people!Many of us get into spiritual work to “help people,” but the world of spiritual learning can be fraught with dehumanization and forced vulnerability. When we are taught practices through experiences that demand we leave our own needs and perspectives behind, it can be easy to turn around and pass that on to our own students.What becomes possible when we strip back the layers of ego and remember that we are working with real people?This week on the podcast, I am thrilled

Are you prepared to support your incoming customers?Y’all know how much I love talking about scaling as a way to make small businesses sustainable over the long-haul! Getting out of the 1:1 ratio of input to income is life-changing.
