"It changes you. Doing the work fundamentally changes how you see the world, your work, your clients, how you show up and execute, how you see your behavior. The goal is for you to build a business that is completely equitable and healthy... The concepts are easy, it's more difficult in practice." - Trudi Lebrón In the aftermath of George Floyd, I didn't know what to do. But, I knew I wanted to do something... something meaningful, that would be present in how I showed up - daily. I also knew I'd need some help figuring that out and doing the actual work. Enter Trudi Lebrón and her class, "Show Up and Serve: A Workshop for White Coaches". I went to that class, joined her Mastermind, and have continued my work through the Institute for Equity-Centered Coaching. Doing this work has made my coaching, marketing, and client spaces better for everyone. I have more tools in my toolbox and am more confident that my business aligns with my actual values - that all people will FEEL respected, valued, and centered when they interact with me. I am infinitely grateful for Trudi and her team. And, wholeheartedly, recommend them to anyone interested! If you have questions about working with them, don't hesitate to reach out and let me know. I'd love to be of service if I can be. (Email caryn@caryngillen.com or DM me on Instagram.)

Such a fun and engaging conversation with Ronna Detrick this week! Listen in as we discuss how the stories we believe and buy into impact our lives, as well as how we can reframe and rewrite them in a way that feels more aligned and true. Ronna explains why she believes that "unless we heal the ancient, sacred stories of women we cannot hope to heal the ones we live today" and how that has played out in her life and business. Ronna is the perfect example of someone who is playing the long game and running a high-integrity business that very much operates as a healing modality in her life and the lives of others. There are some powerful questions in this episode that are worth grappling with. As well as, the invitation to return to center, getting grounded and focused in who you are and what you're doing. What would YOU write if no one had told you anything before? How are you claiming your autonomy and agency here? ----- You can learn more about Ronna and her work at ronnadetrick.com.

Have you been going after something for a while? Do you have a problem you're having trouble solving? Are you feeling kind of stuck or like you need more than the tools you currently have to move forward, change, or up-level?  If so, this episode is for YOU. I am re-sharing an episode I did with Laura Husson, founder of The SHIFT Method, because it's sooo good.  And, because she is offering "The Get UNStuck Sessions" the final time - for free - next week and I just HAD to tell you about them. I have done them with her a couple of times and the freedom that has come as a result has been amazing! I will be there again because I'm always anxious to see what needs to be seen / known / felt next. Listen to the episode for all the juicy details about my experience. And, if you're at all curious, I'd love to have you join us! Laura is leading, I'm participating.  Here's the link to sign up (https://www.totallylaura.com/unstucksessions?fbclid=IwAR0Qsjkxwd5v5t3CZbrItZozvfMw0g1xOlxjOpkDBf3cV3_0fK_ve730CX8&affiliate=caryn_gillen).  They start September 20th! "Change itself can be in an instant, literally in a flash. It's the journey to make the decision for the change that takes a long time." - Laura Husson

If we take away all the rules that we've made up, then what's left?  Answering that question is super fun and disorienting. What are the sentences you think in your mind are the truth? If you could disentangle yourself from everything you've ever made up, everything you've ever heard, what would you do then? What is really here for you? And, what are you really here for? Take a listen, and let's find out!

https://caryngillen.lpages.co/lead-your-profit/ Today, I am talking to my friend, Jessica Harrison, a social scientist, therapist, and activist. This will be an interesting conversation for anyone who works with human beings - which is all of us! If you have ever wondered about the difference between coaching and therapy, how they are different, and how they can work together - this will help. We get into all the things! - How and why I became a life coach - The fact that nothing in nature is linear - The 3-Legged Stool of mental health - Why and when people decide to work with therapists and coaches - How relationship and care are at the core of it all (and why that is essential) + MORE Quotables from Jessica: "Your positionality always matters and is always going to influence how you show up with people and how people respond to you." "It’s not our right to fix it or change it. People are autonomous. They get to decide, and we need to let go of the outcome."  You can learn more about Jessica and her work at jessicamharrison.com. ----- For more business fun and exploration, join me over at The Playground - a free Facebook group for coaches and entrepreneurs.

Emotions are the fuel we use to run our lives. But, I think we often get this wrong as a society. We have this perception that some emotions are better than others, that there is a "right" way to feel, or that we are supposed to be happy all of the time. When, in fact, we are able to swing through all of the emotions and are equipped to handle them all. We are meant to live full-spectrum lives. And, there is power in feeling what you're feeling at any given moment. What if we allowed ourselves to just feel our emotions, without judgment. And, didn’t think they should be different.  How much more energy would we have if we weren't fighting and resisting them all of the time? 

In this week's episode, I talk to Organizing Coach, Tracy Hoth about calming the chaos in your life, home, and business. I recently hired Tracy to help me with a project of my own, and it was amazing how much doing just that one thing opened the door to even more clearing and SPACE. There was an energy that was stuck and completing the project moved it. I am someone who is willing to pay for the speed of decision-making because it means everything gets to go faster. And, getting it done felt like the most FREEDOM ever. Of course, we relate all of this back to business! So, not only are Tracy's 5 tips great for getting organized, they're great for anywhere you might be stuck in business as well. Here they are: 1. Sort 2. Purge 3. Assign Homes 4. Set Limits 5. Maintain Listen in to find out how they work! The whole conversation is great... Tracy shares some really useful information and we discuss important thoughts and ideas around our stuff, its impact, and how we can get free - simply and easily, by making one decision at a time. ----- To learn more about Tracy and what she does, you can find her in the following places: www.simplysquaredaway.com www.instagram.com/tracyhoth www.facebook.com/simplysquaredaway FREE GIFT: Quick Start Guide to Get Organized for Life!
