302: From Stress to Success: Somatic Practices for Entrepreneurs
Hey guys! Welcome back to Can't Be Contained! This week, I'm rolling solo and sharing my insights on a topic I believe is crucial for every entrepreneur—--somatic practices. The importance of releasing somatic buildup cannot be overstated—-a lesson I learned firsthand after an uncharacteristic outburst in the Amex lounge. (Don't worry, we'll get into it!) The entrepreneurial life can (and will) lead to something I like to refer to as emotional constipation, so this episode I'm sharing my favourite practices for releasing that stuck emotion from your body. From breathwork (of course), primal screaming, and even emo dancing, no matter the method you choose, it's absolutely essential to let go of any stacked emotions. I'll also be diving into: Wedding updates The subtleties of how your body communicates The concepts of death and rebirth So if you, like me, feel yourself becoming emotionally constipated so to speak, then I urge you to listen in! I'm certain there's a somatic practice that will work for you! (Hopefully before you lose your cool in the Amex lounge).

297: PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE LENS OF JOSEPH CAMPBELL'S HERO'S JOURNEY
On this week's episode of Can't Be Contained, I'm rolling solo again and digging into personal development as seen through the lens of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey. Although it's most well-known as a template for narrative stories, The Hero's Journey can be an incredibly powerful framework for initiating transformation and self-discovery. As the quest for personal fulfillment can feel endless and full of hurdles, having the skills to identify and apply the various stages of The Hero's Journey to whatever stage of life you find yourself in is invaluable. From the call to action, (the most overwhelming part of anyone's personal growth journey), the refusal, to the crossing of the threshold, Joseph Campbell's monomyth resembles the true-to-life stages of growth and applies to far more than just fictional narratives. Throughout my dissection of the hero's journey, I'll get into: ➤The cyclical nature of the hero's journey ➤The role of momentum in personal and professional endeavors ➤Confronting self-doubt Do you find yourself on the precipice of profound personal transformation? Then listen in—take the first step—-and embrace the HERO in you.
