This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

I believe that our education systems and how our society is structured traps us. We are taught to fit within a mold so that we are ‘employable’ and can hopefully find a job that allows us enough pay to live comfortably and gives us a few weeks off a year. Yet inflation is skyrocketing, the cost of living is outrageous and people feel disconnected from things that genuinely make them come alive. We need change. I know for many of you reading this, you feel that way too as entrepreneurship is about taking a step away from all of that. For almost a year now I have been exploring blockchain technology (crypto) and web3. There are many things that overlap with my passions and curiosities. Entrepreneurship, sovereignty, community care, innovation, philosophy, and more. Like every sector there are people in the space whose only real objective is making money with little regard for others. However there's also an emergence of concepts and ways of creating that previously could only work in small microscopic ways. On this week's podcast I explore ways in which you could possibly use these things in your own business. As well we explore public goods, community resource sharing, regenerative economics that value the environment and sustaining it, trying to solve complex philosophical problems in the open, building out systems that can help mass amounts of people achieve financial freedom through shared rewards and more. The more time I spend learning the more I can see how revolutionary it can be if we empower ourselves to learn about it. There is a massive learning curve, but I fundamentally believe it is worth it. I also believe that online entrepreneurs like you and I are so close to it already as we need to keep up with changing directions of the internet. Always feel free to hit reply if you have any questions or shoot me a message on IG (@lanadingwall) or twitter (@lanzdingz) Our world is shifting and I want to ensure that people who are community oriented have the tools and resources needed to participate in this space - otherwise it’s just going to be the same old power systems. We have an opportunity to make a shift, but it’s going to require enough of us to learn and actively participate. I’ll be using my podcast to help with that and I hope you follow along and learn how you can use this technology in your own business as well. You’re doing better than you realize.

Have you ever found yourself anxiously anticipating something? Maybe it’s small like a task you need to complete or maybe it’s a large goal that requires you to push big-time out of your comfort zone. No matter the gap between where you are now and where you want to be, anxiety, fear, doubt, all exist primarily in the anticipation of something- not the act of it. Why is that? It’s mostly because when we’re in the act of doing something we’re present and in action mode - which leaves little cognitive space for fear and anxiety to show up. This means that when we’re doing hard things that can bring about big rewards for ourselves, we’re not actually thinking about how hard it is - we’re simply doing it. This perspective and reminder can help us make progress on our biggest goals and dreams because it reminds us that often the most anxiety shows up in the anticipation of doing something big - not while actually doing it. This is what we explore in more detail in this weeks podcast episode. I remind myself of this when I find myself overthinking a situation, which tends to leave me stalling even though I really want this thing to happen. I hope this perspective shift helps you as it has me. As always you’re doing better than you realize, and you have what it takes to accomplish your dreams.

If you’re on social media and work in the space of entrepreneurship and/or spirituality you’ve most likely heard the term self sovereign over the past few years. I wanted to dive a little deeper into what I feel it means and why it is directly connected to community care - because sometimes when I hear people use it, it just comes off as inherently selfish and not empowering at all. Self sovereignty and community care are highly interconnected. The more empowering and expansive a community is, the more sovereign you become. Why is this? It’s because they teach you to use the tools and resources within you over telling you you need them (the community) and must conform to their rules and boxes to fit in. Being sovereign is less about doing everything yourself and it's more about interacting with the world in a way that's fully you. Sometimes that means having full responsibility over yourself to help protect and ensure your freedom AND sometimes it's allowing others to do what they're great at (and love) so that you can do what you're great at - because this is also a form of protecting yourself. This protects your time and helps ensure you have the freedom to pursue what you love. This week I dive further into this topic and explore how it intersects with entrepreneurship, web3, philosophy, mindfulness and more. Check out the episode here. Many of us yearn for something different, but if we don’t explore community and sovereignty as interconnected, we might end up building more of what we already have. Our individual freedom does not need to come at the expense of our community and our community doesn’t need to come at the expense of ourselves. I believe things like entrepreneurship, web3, mindfulness and other things can help us build a more sustainable and flourishing community for all of us.

I am getting a lot of people in my dms saying they are very interested in learning more about web3 - blockchain - nfts - crypto, but have no idea where to start. They are telling me they grasp that there is potential in this emerging space but truly do not understand most of it. If you fall into this category, that is totally okay and let me tell you why. You do not need to understand on a fundamental level how this technology works, you only need to know how to use it. Most of you are probably reading this email on your phone. If you listen to my podcast or follow me online, these forms of interacting with me are while using your phone. I am a big apple user - so I use an iphone. The smartphone was invented by apple and do you know what made it not only crush their competition in the cell phone industry, but also ushered in a whole new era of technology….. iOS. Do you know how iOS works? I absolutely do not. I just know that without it everything we do on our phones would not be possible. Apps are built on top of iOS - uber + IG as an example exist because of iOS. Something that you and I use every single day is built using a technology that we don’t understand but are able to use. It birthed a new era of business. Blockchain (which is what will make the future of the internet different than it is today) is the foundation that many new applications and kinds of businesses are being build upon. Much like iOS this will usher in a new era of business AND better yet - this time we actually own our data (iOS tracks and sells our data because apple owns it not us). This is just one of the many breakdown examples I give on this weeks podcast episode. If you’re interested in learning more about web3 using examples that you are already familiar with to help build you knowledge, listen here. If you are able to understand the basics, there are endless possibilities around what you could build, create or how you could integrate what you’re doing now into this. In the coming years we won’t even think about how we’re using blockchain technology, the same way we don’t think about iOS software while using our phones. The ways to use this technology though are only just beginning and it's a time to make your mark if you want to. As always feel free to hit reply if you have any questions and you’re always welcome to book in a call if you want to brainstorm ideas. Keep being awesome my friend.

A few weeks ago IG announced it was beta testing integrating NFTs onto its platform and so far things are going well. Youtube, Meta (aka facebook), Amazon, Shopify, Stripe and other content hosting platforms and commerce based businesses now officially all have web3 teams who are using, building, and integrating blockchain technology. What the heck does this mean?! It means that many of the platforms, applications and tools we use in our businesses are taking web3 seriously - which means that we should too. This doesn’t mean drop everything and go deep dive (unless you want to of course), but it does mean that starting to get curious and learn more about them is important. If we look back on even just the last 5 years, a lot of social media platforms have shifted, content creation looks different, technology is more advanced and we can do cooler things and it's easier than ever to get paid online doing something you love. It’s safe to say that the same will be true 5 years from now. Web3 isn’t a destination, it's simply the evolution of the internet. We started with read only, then went to read and write (where we are now) and its moving to read, write, own. Ownership means we own our content, data etc the same way we do our email lists and websites, but not really anything else we create on the internet. This week's podcast episode dives into some of what this will look like, how you can learn more and some ideas on how you might utilize some of this technology in your own business. If you’re curious about learning more or even how to create your own NFT, social token or something else web3 related, my inbox is always open to help. Just like we talked about last week, little steps add up. Learning even a little bit today, can help you tomorrow. You’ve got this!

It is very common for us to view ourselves as 3 separate people. There is our past self, our current self, and our future self. The reality though is there is only one us. This isn’t to say we stay the same, we know we are constantly changing. What I mean though, is that without changing something today, nothing will change in the future - except that time itself has passed. Sometimes by thinking our future self will somehow be more equipped, more motivated, more responsible than our current, self tricks us into forgetting who we are right now has to make the shifts needed for that to actually transpire. I will not be able to retire in the future, if I don’t start saving today. Right now inflation is at an all time high, stocks and crypto are crashing, housing prices (in Canada) are insanely high and outpacing people’s average income levels. These are stressful times - they are also times of opportunity. What small things can be done today, to help set you up tomorrow? How can delaying our desire for instant gratification, create an opportunity for us to think about the box in a way that will reward us in 5 years time? I remember being younger and thinking about my ‘adult self’ and who I would become. I still think about this future self and who I will ‘become’ even though I already am the future self of younger 23 year old Lana. My current self, is my past selves, future self (try and figure that one out LOL). I realize that today and everyday I have an opportunity to do small things that are in support of not just who I am now, but who I will inevitably become too - because we are one and the same. I dive more into this topic on this weeks podcast episode. I also cover my take on the crypto/stock crash, what my gameplan is and how I personally am looking to hedge inflation, our current economic times and how I’m working on my future, today. You’re doing better than you realize. Until next week, Lana If you enjoy these conversations, check out The Lighthouse Collective .

Many of us can feel as though we’re in a race to reach ‘the finish line’ in our business and lives. We look to those around us to determine if we’re ahead or behind and this can create a sense of urgency. The reality is that we aren’t actually in a race, we will most likely never feel like we ‘crossed the finish line’ and we aren’t competing with anyone either. When this feeling is used in a healthy way to motivate us it can be motivating, however many of us use it to stress ourselves out. There are so many different ways to build out and get to where we want in life. Rushing through everything because we feel we’re behind or that someone else is going to get there before us leads us away from not only enjoying ourselves, but potentially not getting as much out of everything as we can. When we slow down we’re able to make better decisions. When we give ourselves time for sweat equity we can often do incredible things at a fraction of the cost. We are able to explore new ways of creating and going about building whatever we’re building because we are more focused on the process rather than the imaginary race and finish line. We explore this topic in more detail, including how slowing down and ‘taking the long road’ has helped me on this week's podcast episode. You are not in a race, time is not running out and the only person you’re competing with is yourself - and even though it's actually better to just team up with yourself than anything else. Doing things today that help out your future self, allows you to build on what you’ve already created and done. You are doing way better than you realize.…

Have you ever found yourself working countless hours on something only to realize that you want to throw it away? Not because you don’t love the overarching thing you created, but because you feel so burnt out by the process and the idea of doing it again makes your heart sink. Sometimes how we build something affects our ability to do it long term. One of the most important things we can do, that most people struggle with, is creating systems that align with who we are and how we thrive vs what we think we’re supposed to do. How can one know what will work without first trying different things? The reality is we can’t fully know until we try. Which is why when you’re in those first few years of business you want to avoid putting all your eggs into one basket. I have seen so many entrepreneurs burnt out, wanting to throw in the towel because they are spinning their wheels going nowhere. The reason they’re stuck is because they are in the wrong gear and need to adjust. As an example I am someone who thrives with real time conversations, problem solving and coaching. Pre recorded coaching content (aside from my podcast because it's conversational) actually drains me because it is missing the key ingredient for me - interaction. I could spend a full week live working with people and feel I have more energy than if I spent that same week recording the exact same content solo. For some people it is the exact opposite. This is why we need to take ourselves into account when we build - we are the backbone of what we’re creating after all. This week's podcast episode we dive into how we have the choice to build in meaningful ways. That also means we have a responsibility to ourselves, to figure out what systems make sense for who we are and what allows us to thrive. At the end of the day if we thrive, our businesses thrive as well. You owe it to yourself to create something that makes sense for who you are. Keep being awesome and chat with you next week!

What if you could build out your content and business in a way that rewarded you AND your audience economically? With blockchain technology you can. Technology has always had a huge impact on how businesses interacted with their audiences. Email, social media, youtube etc have all shifted the relationship between us and our customers over the last 15 years. Believe it or not, there was a time when people did not understand why they would need a website, or email address and why they would interact with their customers in that way. Social tokens and NFTs could bring about a new shift in how we create and build our business. In 5 years it’s possible that they will be as common as email. NFTs can be used as coupons, tickets to VIP events, a membership pass to your community and more. Social tokens can be used to ‘cash in’ on certain things only available to holders (think mid way and how you would win tokens and cash them in for a prize), used to vote on what cities you host events in, what topics they want to learn about, or used to get 1 on 1 time with you, etc. There are new and creative ways of engaging with our audience emerging through blockchain technology that allows us to build wealth and create income AND can allow our audience to do the same (they can buy and sell your nft as an example). I dive deeper into this topic this week on the podcast. If you’ve been wanting to shake up how you currently offer some of your services or products and have an interest in learning more about web3, this could be a fun way to learn. Artists, musicians, content creators and all sorts of creators are building with web3 tools (aka blockchain) to create new markets, offers and ways of relating with their audiences. As always, there's no rush for you to learn more about this space. I want to keep dropping information here and there as I do believe it's really interesting with a lot of potential for us entrepreneurs and creators.

How many times have you spent countless hours of your life stressing out about social media and having to learn something new, yet again, in order to keep up with its changing rules of engagement? Since starting my coaching business about 6 years ago I feel like I have whiplash from having to learn something, create a new strategy around it, only to have it need to change within 6 months. The reality is that running a successful business using social media requires us to be very agile. That seems acceptable if the ONLY thing we had to worry about was in fact social media. But the reality is that most render services, or offer products that have NOTHING to do with social media. That means that we end up spending more time trying to figure out how to market ourselves than we do actually doing the things that have the biggest impact. The reality is that social media platforms need content creators more than we need them. Social media is a tool, and has made running a business easier in a lot of ways, but we forget that there are other marketing strategies out there that don’t require as many pivots. I dive deeper into this topic on this week's podcast episode. We also talk about how struggling with marketing doesn’t reflect the quality of what you do - it simply reflects how good you are at explaining it. Those aren’t the same things. Social media is a tool, but many of us act as if it's the only real measure of success - that’s how good these platforms are at convincing us we need them. Just remember though that without content creators (aka anyone that posts or creates videos), well no one would really use these platforms…..

What if there was a way to retain the autonomy, creativity, freedom and innovation of entrepreneurship, but also have the community, structure and support of others that we sometimes miss when running a business by ourselves? This is what has me so intrigued with DAOs - decentralized, autonomous, organizations. Think of a startup business meeting a community driven project, meeting a bunch of self motivated people coming together to share resources to make money and achieve a goal. They aren’t a new concept, in fact they first popped up in the 80s but because of limitations in banking, trusting each other with money and location limits they didn’t really catch fire. Enter blockchain technology, the internet, and things like zoom and now we have an opportunity to reshape how we work with each other, get paid and create change in whatever area interests us. I sort of fell into working as a contributor with a DAO (Blu3DAO) simply because its mission aligned with mine (helping people make more money while having a greater impact) and was enjoying the community centric nature of what I was experiencing. Next thing I know I’m a governor (think board of directors), a contributor (think freelancer), my partner and I were given the power and funding to pick 35 strangers (and 3 people we met in Denver) to bring to Rio, Brazil. Once there those strangers quickly became friends and we helped many of them start their own DAOs and projects (NFTs etc) and helped secure funding for them to launch. The best part was that no one there knew that I run my own coaching and consulting business (expect my partner Kate of course), but people kept telling me how good I was at coaching and consulting. LOL the power of doing what you love, and knowing you love it no matter what environment you’re in. It’s one of the reasons I’m excited about the potential of DAOs. For many of us, we love what we do and we never want to be in a position where someone else is telling us what we need to do or how to do it, but we still miss getting to create with others. DAOs are designed to reward self motivated, innovative, action takers. There is no CEO or ‘person in charge’. There might be leaders and core team members but they are simply people who have more responsibility on whatever goal your DAO is working towards - but that doesn't mean they have more power or authority - it does mean though they can have a greater impact on the project. Being a serial entrepreneur, I know that some of the ideas and projects I want to bring to life will require me to work with others, but I also know that I don’t want to be a ‘CEO’. I want collaborators, co conspirators, not employees. DAOs are the first time I’ve felt that I could create those larger projects without having to do it alone, and without having to be the bottleneck CEO that is responsible for everything. Working with my amazing business partner for Astrid Park has taught me a lot about how nice it is to have a teammate. It’s also worth mentioning that people often work in different DAOs, or like me, have whole other businesses that they run. The space is designed for cross pollination, it encourages people to be creative and do their own thing and you choose to work together because you have shared goals, not because you ‘need a job’. If you’re interested in learning more, have questions (or concerns), as always feel free to hit reply. I also dive into this topic more on this week’s podcast episode. Check it out here. Entrepreneurship for me has always been about innovation, expression, bringing ideas to life and getting to choose what and how I spend my time. If you’re the same, DAOs might be something fun to look into, even if it’s just to learn. Keep being awesome my friend!…

Changing The Story with Lana Dingwall

The very first thing I need to make clear when talking about the metaverse, is that it is NOT owned by Facebook, nor are people that interested in what Facebook is building. Why? Because most people in the web3 space, myself included, are most interested in decentralization. Meaning no one person, government, entity or company has full control or ownership. The other reality is that we already live in the metaverse. I am writing this while in Rio, Brazil, and you will read it wherever you are. I host many workshops, Lighthouse Collective calls and sessions with clients via zoom. I take photos and videos of what's happening around me, post them on social media and you are able to see those regardless of where you are. The metaverse isn’t this official place you go to, it's simply the integration of technology into our lives, and that is already here. On this week's episode I dive more into this, as well as why it's okay to resist and not want to partake, and also some reasons why I hope you remain curious. The same way social media and email has transformed the ways people run businesses from over a few decades ago, the metaverse (think more an evolution of tech than a place) will also transform how we run our businesses in the future. Being aware of what's shifting isn’t to make us fomo into jumping on ‘the next thing’ as there will always be the next thing. It’s more about being open and curious, learning a bit here and there and when we feel ready exploring in a more serious and tangible way. As always you’re doing far better than you’re giving yourself credit for. You’ve got this and I’ll chat with you next week.

Many people (myself included) pursue the illusion of power, because under the surface what we desire is freedom and we think this is the only way to get it. The only way I can be free is to have so much power, that no one can have authority (ie control) over me. Because we live in a world of haves and have nots, I need more power, money, status and things than other people to ensure I am one of the ‘haves’, someone at the top of the pecking order. *(having power and being empowered are not the same thing) I am happy to say that years ago I gave up that ideology and way of relating with the world and others - but I'd be lying if I said it still doesn't creep up on me from time to time. I believe that true freedom means freedom for all. This doesn’t mean getting to do whatever we want, whenever we want, without any regard for others and without consequences. We are so vastly interconnected in ways we can’t even comprehend, that we need to respect each other and part of that means understanding that I will have some peramatures where my freedom might bump into someone else's, and that freedom isn’t an all or nothing thing. Power though, well now when I have power I don’t need to respect anyone, I can just squash bulldoze right on over them because I have more power. You might be asking what the heck this has to do with entrepreneurship, and I would say everything. Many of us (as I did) build out our businesses and lives wanting more power and often what can happen is it leads us off course. It leads us away from the things that bring us joy and instead have us focusing on accumulating more because more = power and we confuse power with freedom. Freedom means the beautiful space to be you - to live the life you want, not the one others tell you to want - to be able to express yourself in ways that light you up vs the ones ‘you must do to grow your business’. We dive deeper into this philosophical discussion on this week's podcast episode which you can listen to here. I still want to be powerful (AND empowered), I just know that the power I seek comes with significant responsibility and I never want it to come at the expense of someone else ‘having to lose’. I believe that pondering certain kinds of questions helps us better understand ourselves, what we desire and what we’re truly looking to create. Are you potentially confusing power and freedom? Have you maybe been living in a paradigm where there needs to be losers in order for there to be winners? Or do you live in a world where we’re all able to win, we just need to work together to get there? Keep being awesome my friend and together we can, will and already are creating a different world together. Lana THIS IS EPISODE 200 of the podcast?! That is crazy to me.

There is so much (and this seems common unfortunately) going on in the world right now that can make us feel overwhelmed. I’ve been in many conversations with people asking ‘is there any hope of changing these systems’ and while all I have is my own opinion, I believe decentralization (which is KEY) and blockchain technology has the power to change the world. I recently got back from ETHdenver, which is a conference dedicated to ecosystem of blockchain technologies that align with the values of ethereum (decentralized, open sourced, community oriented, giving power back to everyday people, creating systems not limited by geopolitical location, gender, race, age, work status, social economic status, even langage). I listened to people speaking about reforestation efforts that utilize blockchain technology to cut through all the bureaucracy allowing them to plant trees 100x, sometimes 1000x faster than current systems. I learnt about efforts to restistbute wealth and create basic income for people outside of government programs, and relying on grants and taxing people. I learnt about programs designed to help connect with people in places like Sierra Leone who don’t even have bank accounts because they don’t have birth certificates and other official documents needed to open them. These programs will hire, train and fund real people who live there and are a part of these communities to help them access not only (non centralized) banking for themselves and their communities, but give them job training and pay them base wages of $75USD+/hour and more to do so. I learnt about decentralized science, and how gated research and data often leads to slow and costly cures for diseases, innovation for climate change, and more. How blockchain technology can allow for us to open up information for people across the globe to work collaboratively, while still giving credit where it's due, to help us solve global and localized issues faster. These are just some of the things I learnt, and doesn’t even begin to touch on the amazing people I met. I dive more into some of these initiatives on this week's podcast episode which you can find here. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll be diving deeper and deeper into this space personally, as I believe it’s so much more than ‘crypto and money’ and genuinely feel that if the right people enter this space, it will radically change the world in equal ways, that can create wealth that doesn’t involve human exploitation, and doesn’t rely on governments or corporations. I was a part of a team (Blu3_DAO - on IG and twitter) that pitched a project that received $1 million in funding that is geared towards this vision of wealth equality, and creating a better future together. With that said, if you’re ever interested in diving into this space more yourself, my inbox is always open. The world is heavy, but I still believe in it, because people like you, my friend , exist in it. Good people, who believe in community over competition, who want to leave this world a better place than they found it. You’re doing so much for the world, simply by being here. Thank you!

I understand the resistance to learning new things. Which is why I want to sprinkle in little bits of here and there, because it adds up over time. I truly feel this space of crypto/nft/web3 is going to change the world faster (but still over the course of a decade +) than anything else in modern history. We’re still so early in its creation, which is why I want more good hearted, visionary people inside of it. As entrepreneurs, it’s an easier bridge over into this new territory as we’re already used to learning new things, taking risks, and seeing the potential in things that aren’t fully formed yet. I wanted to interview someone who has immersed themselves in the crypto/nft/web3 ecosystem, that has a background in traditional product/service based businesses, to come on and share their experience and passion for the space. Meet Sierra Renee, a serial entrepreneur (runs + created product and service based businesses) who has extended her savviness into the web3 world. In this week's podcast episode we explore the possibilities of web3 (regardless of your background), some of the areas we’re the most excited about, as well as helpful tips and mindset strategies to get you started. If you have any questions about this space, please don’t hesitate to reach out. There's a lot of information out there which I know can be overwhelming. You’ve got this!

We live in a world that is constantly grasping for our time, attention, energy, money and resources. This means that more than ever, we need to know how to support ourselves, regulate our emotions and practice mindfulness in our daily lives. There are a lot of shoulda, woulda, coulda moments that could have been avoided if we had slowed down, and brought awareness to what we were experiencing, thinking and feeling and how this was impacting our decisions. I don’t know about you, but I have absolutely bought things that weren’t going to help me because I got caught up in the moment. I’ve lost a whole day, my mood and my energy to doom scrolling and comparing myself to others online. Being mindful of these situations and how they affect me, allow me to support myself through them, instead of getting swept out to sea by them. This is why creating a mindfulness practice for yourself and bringing it into how we operate our business can not only have a positive impact on our work, but our lives as well. We dive into this more this week on the podcast if you’re interested. Mindfulness can look differently for different people, so taking your time to explore what works for you, can help you create a system that has real impact for you.

I know there are so many ‘secret’ weapons out there when it comes to business, but here me out! This is one that I believe also deeply serves us in all aspects of our lives - It is the ability to remain open. We live in a world where it is extremely easy for us to close ourselves off - to getting help, to believing in ourselves, to taking risks, to learning, to believing that things can change, to hearing competing points of view, to respecting someone even when we don’t agree with them, to name a few. A key in business is remembering that remaining open to things gives us an advantage because most people don’t. We need to remain open to learning new things, trying new things, believing in something that has yet to manifest itself, believing in ourselves even if we don’t know what we're doing yet. This week on the podcast I dive deeper into this topic of remaining open and how it has helped me get to this point where I am now… happy, fulfilled, financially successful, operating multiple businesses, doing things I love, having time to actually enjoy my life and still have space to want to learn and do more. I talk about what remaining open looks like and means for me, and how you can use what speaks to you, to support you in building whatever it is you’re looking to build too. You’re capable of creating whatever you want, you just need to remain open to it long enough for it to get to you. You’re doing better than you realize!

I know how much it can suck having to learn a bunch of new things, especially technology, in a world where it feels that just as we’ve grasped one thing, something new comes along. Please know, that you can ALWAYS opt to not adopt new technology, and that is totally okay. I also know that sometimes it's easier for us to grasp and learn, than we give ourselves credit for. Maybe you have heard about NFTs and web3 and maybe you haven’t. Either is fine, it’s all so new, think the first minute, of the first period, of the game. I have been dabbling in this space since last summer and what I can tell you is that I personally am very excited about it’s potential. I will go into more detail on this week’s podcast episode, and will be continuing to talk about it in future, so if you want to learn more about it, follow along. What I will say is that what I've read about the space via media outlets VS what I have experienced in the space is very different. NFTs, web3, crypto is a place that is very exciting for creators like us and no it isn’t like collecting beanie babies, and no it isn’t full of elitist people (although they do exist because they exist everywhere). What I’ve experienced is a really cool way to connect and create communities that are a lot more elevated than how we experience them in traditional membership spaces (facebook groups, paid memberships etc). If you’re a creator of any kind, I suggest doing a little bit of research (even if it's JUST listening to this episode), as web3 is a place that will give power back to creators (away from SM giants like FB, IG, etc), and allow you to create community and make money in a way that feels good in new and interesting ways. Remember it's only the first minute in the land of NFTs, so you’re far from too late. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message. As mentioned I’ll be sure to talk about it more on the podcast in future ( don’t worry it won’t be the only thing I talk about). As well, inside The Lighthouse Collective, I’ll be bringing in guests and teaching everyone more about this new space for creators and entrepreneurs. Keep being awesome my friends!

We are never just one thing in life, and the same is true in the space of entrepreneurship. We’ve come to understand being non-binary in relation to gender. I feel it can help us better support ourselves and flourish in ways that are far beyond gender identity. When we view ourselves, our ideas, our lives, our hopes and dreams and these multidimensional, beautiful complex works of art, we realize we aren’t meant to fit into tiny neat little boxes. We understand that language, information, and guidance isn't meant to put us into ridgid categories that then tell us how to be and what success looks like. Instead it helps us realize the nuance of carving out our own path based on our attributes. That ultimately we are the captain of our ships and no one can truly tell us where we need to go. We explore this deeper in this week's podcast. I also touch on what can happen when people misunderstand what we mean when we say something - since very few things are universally agreed upon. As I had someone express how something I say often kept rubbing them the wrong way. Entrepreneurship and living a life well lived, it’s about figuring out what makes sense for you and going out and doing just that. I hope this week's podcast episode makes you feel a bit more confident in doing something that intuitively is for you - even if it's the opposite of what I myself have done. Remember, there is no right or wrong, there is only what is right for you. Chat soon, Lana If you enjoy these conversations, check out The Lighthouse Collective .

First off I hope you had a lovely holiday season and were able to get whatever it is that you look for from that time of the year. I wanted to start off the new year by tackling the concept of productivity. NOT because I think we need to focus on being ultra productive, but because focusing on the right kind of productivity can actually liberate us, fulfill us AND create more ease in accomplishing our big goals. How do we do this you ask? By refraining how we view productivity, tuning into our own intuition more and giving ourselves permission to do more of what feels good and ditching the rest. We need to detach from this idea that productivity is directly connected to economic output. We aren’t machines, so we can’t evaluate the value of something solely based on what $ number it produces over everything else in our lives. We are all also very unique. Meaning that what ignites a flame in me, might put out your flame. We need to tap into what excites us, what makes us feel good, what things we feel energize us and feel purposeful. These aren’t universal things either, each of us have our own special zones and we need to know what those zones are. We dive more into this topic on this week's podcast episode, if you want to learn more. The goals we set need to align with these things and we need to align how we work with these things as well. When we do, we are able to do more than even we could imagine, while exerting a lot less energy. Remember you are doing way better than you’re giving yourself credit for AND you deserve to do work that really lights you up.

One of the main things drilled into us throughout our lives is that we need to ‘obtain’ safety + security, through a series of events. A good stable paying job with benefits, saving for retirement, marriage, a house, kids, and other forms of social and material status. If you ‘achieve’ these you’ve done something right… but have you? Safety and security truly cannot come from something outside of us (a job, a relationship, money), because by its very nature it's meant to actually prioritize something that isn’t just you. Learning how to ride the various waves of life, the good, the bad, the inbetween with curiosity, openness and a knowing you’ll be alright no matter what - that is true safety and security. As we close out 2021 and move into 2022, I wanted this year's last podcast episode to be something that helps us all build a tool for a better future, and that tool is ourselves. Sometimes we give up the very things that could liberate us in the most beautiful of ways, because we’re afraid to give up some sense of safety + security (S+S). We always need to ask ourselves if what we’re giving up is worth what we’re getting in return. I don’t know if doing work that feels draining, daunting and unfulfilling for most of my life is worth any amount of S+S, but that's just me and you don’t need to agree. On this weeks (and the final of 2021) podcast episode we discuss… How the fear of shame traps us + what do to liberate ourselves from it That meeting ourselves in our lowest and darkest moments is how we cultivate real safety and security (and what that looks like) That risk isn’t just about the risk of doing something, it’s also about the risk of doing nothing at all A reminder that you are not your job title, the amount of money in your account, your marital status or anything else you feel ‘defines you’ and keeps your safe That progress is really what we want to focus on with our goals and dreams and that you’re probably doing a better job than you’re giving yourself credit for.

Want to know one of the main reasons we don’t accomplish the things we desire? It isn’t because we don’t work hard enough, or have what it takes….. It’s because we feel that we are our mistakes, our shortcomings, what we lack, and because of that have a hard time tapping into our inherent goodness. Believe it or not, we are SO MUCH MORE than what we feel holds us back. It doesn't matter how much ‘proof’(aka the bad stuff you constantly run through your head) you have, you are inherently good, capable, deserving and have what it takes to get to where you desire. As we move into the end of this year and the beginning of a new one, one thing that can help us get to where we want to be is to believe in the goodness that we are, and give less airtime to the bad. Look, we have all made mistakes. Remember that time I spent over 20k on something that was essentially useless even though I truly thought it was going to take me to the next level. It didn’t, but it did teach me some really important lessons. The biggest one being that I am more than that decision. That one choice I made, even though it cost me a lot of money, doesn’t mean I have lost my ability to make future decisions like that for myself. If I felt I was that choice, then it would have been so crippling and devastating I wouldn’t be here writing this email. I wouldn’t have gone on to buy, guy and restore a home with my brothers. I wouldn’t have started Astrid Park (an off grid camper motel). I took it seriously and I learnt from it, but I didn’t let that one thing define me. It became a massive bump on my continuing journey. If you are finding that you’re being held back because of your fear of failure, imposter syndrome, or anything else that doesn't believe in your ability to succeed, check out this week's podcast episode. You are doing far better than you’re giving yourself credit for. You have what it takes to create whatever it is that you want. I believe in you and you need to believe in yourself too.

Hey! How do you feel about the concept of being self made? We often think of it in terms of money and access to wealth and early mentorship, but the narrative around it can be harmful. In reality no one is self made, not even the people we think are, because we’re all products of those around us. We need mentors, community, people who help us problem solve or do things we’re unable to do. Collaboration is a key ingredient in success. So my question to you is, do you have enough collaborators, support, mentors and community, or are you trying to do too many things on your own? As we move out of 2021 and into 2022, what kinds of support might help you make more progress on your goals? How might your load be lightened with others helping you carry it? Are you holding yourself back in some ways because you’re trying to ‘figure it out’ all on your own? We dive deeper into this topic on this weeks podcast episode, which you can listen to here. When I reflect back on when my coaching dreams were just these little flashes, I realize now how much faster I could have brought them to life if I had gotten support. It wasn’t until I genuinely sought out help, got mentors, built community and surrounded myself with people who could help me bring my dreams into reality, did I actually start seeing real progress. When we realize no one is self made and instead a by product of all the support they’ve received over the years, it makes it easier for us to stop putting so much pressure on ourselves to figure it all out.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your fear of failure has actually prevented you from doing something? If there is one thing I’ve learnt over the years, it’s that our fear of failure harms our ability to live the life we desire more than anything else. Fear causes us to feel shame, and shame ultimately traps us. The thing is though, failure doesn’t really exist, not in the ways we think it does at least. If anything it's simply a moment or state of being that we move through. It isn’t a fixed state of reality, even though we act as if it is. We have all failed many times, at many different things, we just don’t really carry the weight of them because…. well we’ve moved on. So why then, do we put so much pressure on ourselves ‘to get it right’, to ‘succeed’, to ‘avoid failure’? It’s a mind trap that we set for ourselves over and over again. This week on the podcast, I dive into a big ‘failure’ of mine from when I was younger, how it changed the trajectory of my life and more on how the idea of failure is a trap we set for ourselves. You can listen here. Is there anything you’re wanting to do, but the fear of failure (or lack of perfecting it) keeps you stuck? Hit reply and I’d love to chat more about it.

It is human nature to want to belong, but when does our desire to fit in come at an expense that might be too high for us to pay? Often fitting in is a lot more about membership - checking off certain criteria that creates exclusivity over genuine belonging. However we want to take time to understand the difference between the two, because genuinely belonging is what we desire, and membership doesn’t give us that. Yet we often think that membership = belonging and therefore we’re willing to give up parts of ourselves in order to fit in. Lately we’ve been talking a lot about goals, values, creating lives for ourselves that are actually what we desire and we can’t do those things unless we address what can sometimes get in the way. Membership is the notion that in order to fit into a certain group dynamic, place or organization, you need to follow certain rules. If you have a family dynamic that loves drama, you’re expected to partake in the cycle of drama, otherwise ‘you don’t fit in’. Maybe you need to be an academic, or have a certain kind of career, or be married with kids, to fit into another group. You might need to have certain political views, or socially conscious views in order to ‘belong’. The idea is that all of these require you to fit into some kind of box, in order to maintain your ‘membership’. What happens though if you don’t fit? That can often lead us to feeling as though we don’t belong, but that isn’t the case at all. We all belong, and we need to restructure how we view belonging vs membership in order to make choices and decisions for ourselves that are in alignment with what we desire. Not what others require from us. We dive more into this topic in this week's podcast episode if this topic resonates. You can listen here.

If I were to ask you what a good life meant to you, how would you answer that question? And after answering it, would you be able to say yes, you are in fact living that life? If you’re anything like me, these last fews years have really left me contemplating what it means to ‘live a good life’. I have come to realize that certain ways I’d answer that question aren’t really me, but the conditioned response I’ve been taught to believe were things I wanted for my life. That, that was someone else's response to a good life, but not mine. There is also this space of needing to acknowledge the things that get in the way of us living our best lives. The desire to belong, the need for financial security and a sense of safety, responsibilities we feel we are tethered to, to name a few. This week we dive into how to discover what our version of a good life is, explore the things potentially that feel like hurdles in our way and ultimately how to cultivate that life in a way that feels sustainable and possible for us. Because if we aren’t building out a business that supports a good life for ourselves, then what are we doing and who are we building this business for? For me I know I am living many aspects of what a good life means to me, that there is still some distance left to go AND that there are some pieces I have yet to discover. How about you?

Goal setting is such a prevalent concept in our society, yet a lot of us can get it wrong. Now ‘getting it wrong’ isn’t to imply that you’re not meeting some arbitrary expectation, but to say that sometimes our goals don’t align with our values, intentions or how we actually want to live. We can use ‘goals’ as our guiding force in life, but sometimes those goals are leading us away from what we actually want. Taking the time to figure out what your guiding principles for a well lived life are, what your values are and how you actually want your life to feel in the future is the foundation we want to build our goals from. Not from an insecurity we have to ‘achieve x in order to feel y’. What are your truest values? What are the things that you feel make up the very fabric used in creating the tapestry of your best lived life? How can you make sure these things guide your goals? What would your goals and vision for your future be if you didn’t have to worry about money or had all the validation you yearned for? How does your ‘need for x’ impact how you set goals, and is it maybe hindering you? We explore these questions and more things on this week's podcast episode that you can listen to here. You owe it to yourself to live your most fulfilled, aligned life and that starts with making sure the goals we are setting, actually set us up for that. Keep being awesome my friend!

Have you ever found yourself face to face with some kind of resistance or obstacle in your life and immediately blamed yourself for it? If you’re human I am going to guess the answer is yes, because we’ve all been there. We’ve all faced resistance in our business and lives and instead of compassionately reminding ourselves this is a normal part of the process, we blame ourselves for it. We will list off our reasons as to why we aren’t good enough and why we were dumb for ever thinking we could do x thing. However, we aren’t alone in making mistakes or facing resistance so why do we so quickly belittle and blame ourselves when we do? Part of becoming a person who lives out the life we desire is actually letting go of this idea. We aren’t alone, you aren’t alone. We all launch things that do not turn out the way we hoped. We all struggle to create content (I re-recorded this week's podcast episode for a record setting 10x before I felt satisfied enough with it). We all feel like an imposter at times. It’s all a part of the process of becoming. Please be a little gentler with yourself the next time you find yourself in a situation you’d rather not be in. Maybe, just maybe, this isn’t actually a sign that you’re not cut out for something. Instead, maybe it’s a gentle reminder that you’re human, constantly in flux. I dive deeper into this topic on this week’s podcast episode if you want to come along for the journey with me. I lovingly mock myself for how I personalized struggling to create this week's episode as if it meant something other than I was just having a hard time creating a piece of content. Keep being awesome my friend. We all hit bumps in the road, it's what makes life fun. Remember that you’re doing way better than you’re giving yourself credit for.

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself if your hopes, dreams and goals for the future are actually yours? When we buy a picture frame, it often comes with a stock image holder that's meant to be replaced. Sometimes I feel the same is true for our lives. We get handed this life and we’re told we can fill it however we want, but that we forget to take that placeholder image out and end up creating goals for ourselves based on the placeholder - not necessarily what we deeply desire. As an example, as a coach I find when I talk to other coaches, all of our goals and dreams sound the same. We want to build out variations of the same ‘funnel’s and offers’ and do variations of the same things - even though we are vastly different people. It got me thinking that sometimes what we think we want is just really heavily influenced by what others we admire are doing, and then assuming we need to do the same. But we don’t. We get to be our own people, who do our own wild and beautiful things, we just need to slow down, lean in and listen to ourselves more. We need to be willing to think outside the box, leave what isn’t working behind and move towards what feels right for us. A lot of us base what we work so hard for, around what we think we’re supposed to want, do, become and have. We need to learn to let go of those things, and reunite with what is meant for us - and only we can figure out and know what that is. That is what we are diving into on this week's podcast episode. Check it out here if you want to listen. I also go into some ideas on how to create the things we desire (financial freedom, security, meaning, purpose) without having to follow someone else's path or idea of success. Remember that this beautiful life is yours and you get to decide how you live it. That includes what you create, how you run your business and what you do to generate income for yourself.

Hey! The term lazy is definitely something that haunts a lot of us, especially entrepreneurs. There can be alot of shame, self judgement and frustration that washes over us when we think we’re being ‘lazy’. However, we need rest and I’ll be the first to admit - I love being ‘lazy. Maybe it’s because I’m a taurus and we are notorious for wanting to chill, or maybe it’s because I know we’re not machines and therefore are very deserving (without having to earn it) of rest. But today’s email and this week's podcast episode (listen here) is actually about a different kind of laziness, or rather two different kinds. One is the kind that is rooted in us forgetting our brilliance, and becoming disheartened and therefore disconnected. The other is becoming busy, being busy and therefore don’t have time for matters most. I feel these actually impact our ability to live our fullest lives and create the magic we want to see in them. Not because we don’t work hard enough, but rather because we work way too hard doing things that don’t matter, become disheartened and give up on ourselves because we forget how brilliant and capable we truly are. To summarize that, we can get so lost in the hustle, we actually go nowhere (hamster on a hamster wheel) and start to question ourselves, our worth and our capabilities in the process. That is a form of laziness, because it becomes easy to be distracted, detached and give up (and we all find ourselves here from time to time, so no shame). The opposite of this would be working to wake ourselves up. Reminding ourselves, even when it's hard, that we have the ability to create the business and life we desire. We need to focus less on what others are doing, and focus more on what makes sense for us. If you want to dive deeper into this, check out this week’s podcast episode. And regardless please remember, you’re made from the remnant of stars, and you’re doing way better than you’re giving yourself credit for.

If you are anything like me, everytime a new social media platform or ‘must do to grow you business’ feature comes out, you might find yourself doing a familiar dance of ‘do I, don’t I’. It’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole of keeping up with the Joneses when it comes to social media trends, platforms, and the do and don’ts that are always changing. What we need to learn is how to master the art of letting go. Letting go of the feeling that we need to pivot and change every time a platform tells us too. The reality is that social media is designed to keep us on its platform and they will do whatever necessary to keep us there. That though, isn’t your goal is it? Your objective is most likely to connect with your audience, provide them with something related to what you offer and at some point have some of your audience buy your product or service. Social media is a tool that we use, but it isn’t the only tool we have available to us. We all need to remember this when interacting with it. On this week's episode we (me and my pal George Kao - a soulful dude, coach and marketer) dive into why it's okay to let go of the idea that you need to keep up with all the trends, and do all the optimizing and what to focus on instead. There are so many moving pieces when running a business, do yourself a solid, and make it a little easier for yourself by giving yourself permission to not have to do all the things. Oh and before I sign off I wanted to mention I am hosting my first in person event in a lonnnnnng time. It’ll be hosted at The Yoga Attic on October 15th, where we will explore this theme of dismantling the barriers we’ve created within and around ourselves. We will look at how what we are striving for in our businesses and life (more clients, a strong vision, more freedom, more fulfillment, more stability and wealth etc), can come to us as much as we move to it. You can learn more about it here , and always feel free to hit reply if you have any questions about it. As always, you’re doing better than you think! I believe in you.

We’ve all been there... that eternal battle of what you desire and your limiting beliefs going head to head. One of the most frustrating things about being human is genuinely how we can struggle to get over what feels like our own self imposed hurdles and roadblocks. Please know though, that we all have them - nothing is wrong with you. One concept that has really helped me over the years is that whenever I find myself spiraling in a pool of my own insecurities, doubt, and fear I change up how I am approaching the situation with myself. I believe our energy flows where our focus goes. If I am spending my time, energy and attention on questioning if something is possible, or if I have what it takes, I am going to be met with lots of hesitation, fear, doubt and stories that reinforce that idea. Instead I ask myself how , how am I going to do this, how does something like this get done. It might seem small, but asking how instead of if , completely changes how you approach a situation. You spend more time and energy finding solutions and taking action than you do spinning your wheels. This is just one of the things that I did at the start of my entrepreneurial journey and is something I still do today. On this week's podcast episode we dive more into how I support myself through the waves of doubt, fear, anxiety and all those pesky limiting beliefs, while talking about how when I first started my business I was NOT getting the traction or results I wanted. I believe in you, you’re doing better than you’re giving yourself credit for AND you do have what it takes. Lana If you enjoy these conversations, check out The Lighthouse Collective .

Have you been feeling this pull (or maybe a push) to change things up? Whether that be starting a new routine, creating a new offer, shifting how you do things in your business or even starting something new altogether, fall often brings a feeling of wanting something fresh. What we need to learn is to listen to that pull, as it is our intuition guiding us in the direction we need to be moving in. Even if some of this change might mean starting something new or starting over, we need to remember that we’re never really starting over. Every time we begin a new project, business, routine, offer or even way of living, we are building upon what we’ve already experienced, learned and who we’ve become in the process. Change can be scary, but it’s necessary for growth and innovation. On this week's podcast episode we dive more into this concept and talk about different ways to approach and look at where this desire for change is coming from, how you can go about it in a way that feels good and why we’re more equipped to tackle our next challenge than we realize.

Have you been feeling a little ‘meh’ lately? If you have been, you’re not alone. Lots of people I have been chatting with have been feeling the same. While there are many different factors that play into our energy and engagement levels, a few I wanted to highlight today are comparable to relationship advice we routinely hear. You’re going to have a honeymoon stage in your business and at some point, like every relationship, the mundane will start to kick in. Now this doesn’t mean the fun is over, it simply means you have to intentionally infuse more spark into your work. That’s often why people try out new projects or offers, they are looking to keep the excitement alive in their business. And as with relationships, we all change. If you and your business are able to change and adapt together, it’ll work out. As you grow and learn and connect with yourself more, you’re bound to go through some growing pains transition wise with your work. On this week's podcast episode we dive more into this concept and talk about different ways to approach and look at this lack of motivation and spark with your business. If you’re feeling this funk, don’t panic. It’s normal and it just means you need to do some digging into what needs to shift or change, and look at how you can bring back the joy and spark into your work!

Throughout the course of our lives we change many times. As life ebbs and flows, so do we. One thing I know to be true is that sometimes creating that change we desire can be hard. Not because we aren’t capable, but because integrating new ways of being and living can come with its handful of challenges. The key to integrating lessons, insights, and desired ways of being in a sustainable way into our lives all comes down to creating the right containers, and routines to let them become a part of how we live. It isn’t about this big drastic change, which can be hard to sustain. It’s about finding a way to weave what we desire into what we already do and have. How to weave these new things into our lives is what we explore in this week's episode… How creating macro and micro routines helps us ground ourselves in what we want to change That we need to integrate from a place of knowing we’re good and whole as we are - we aren’t broken nor do we need to be fixed How small adjustments can make a huge impact in the long term Keep flowing with all that is unfolding before you and now that changes you desire will come.

Have you ever had that moment where you realize you need to let something or someone who's been a pillar of your life, go? There will always come moments in life when we need to let some part of ourselves that is connected to something else go, in order to make space for what's next. It is scary, but also full of so much opportunity. Nothing, or no one makes up the sum total of who we are, the value we bring into this world and what makes us who we are. That is what we need to remember when we are faced with needing to let something or someone go. What happens when you let go og the thing you’re the most afraid of losing? We let go of the identity ascribed to it. We let go of all the ways we’ve tried to make ourselves ‘fit’ in order to maintain it. We open ourselves up to finding a way to love and accept ourselves fully, instead of using this thing or person to make us feel whole and valuable. There is so much strength in letting go and that is what we explore on this week's episode… Why we need to let go of the very things we feel we ‘need’ How and why I let go of the image I felt I needed in order to be success Why I let go my old goals and views on success Remember that you are inherently valuable, simply because you exist.

A phrase we hear often in the spiritual and entrepreneurial world, is to do ‘what is in alignment with you’. I am all for living and running an aligned business and life AND I am aware that those things will never look the exact same for two people. We are similar and yet so vastly different, of course my goals and how I achieve them and your goals, and how you achieve them are most likely going to be different. That is exactly how it should be. We aren’t created in the same way, we don’t have the same hopes and desires, skills, experiences, lived realities or knowledge, therefore ‘my aligned’ and ‘your aligned’ are going to be different. Some of us get hung up on the fact that what we want for our lives looks different than those around us, because that can make us feel as though something is wrong with who we are or what we want. There is nothing wrong with you. In this week's episode we dive into… How to tune into what makes sense for you Why it's a beautiful thing that we’re all different Why whatever you envision for yourself is perfect and awesome, just like you!

A lot of people are starting to reintegrate back into the world, which means that we’re starting to feel the strain of obligation creep up on us again. Something that I have observed is that a lot of people are realizing that they feel out of alignment with some of those obligations and expectations to go back to. There might be resistance in how you go about conducting business, spending time with particular people, dressing a certain way, or having to do certain activities. No matter what it is, there might be something that feels off. One of the reasons for that might be because you had so much space from those situations, people, or ways of doing things that you’ve even had time to realize they don’t jive with you. Sometimes we do things not because we enthusiastically choose it for ourselves, but because we feel it's ‘just what we have to do’. I would even say that a lot of things we do as humans are performative. Meaning, we play the role we think we need to play to fit the scenario, even though that role isn’t actually who we are. It's important for all of us to check in through this period of reintegration and make sure we’re doing things we want, spending time with people we enjoy and most importantly, honouring who we are and how we want to show up in the world. In this week's episode we dive into… How some of us have ‘unbecome’ who we thought we had to be during the last year and half - and why it feels weird going ‘back’ How social expectations and norms require all of us to perform a role, over being who we genuinely are Why we need to listen to the areas of our lives we feel residence around going back to Be you my friend, because the world needs all that you are.

I would say that one of the things the vast majority of people try to avoid in their lives is conflict. It sucks, it takes up a lot of energy, it causes us anxiety and all around isn’t fun. However, conflict really is an unavoidable reality of life, and entrepresigp. You can be the kindest, calmest, most on top of everything person with the greatest of intentions and someone at some point will still have an issue with something you said, something you did (or didn’t do), or how you approached something. Conflict doesn’t always occur because someone did something ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’. Conflict happens because we all have different experiences, expectations, ways of doing things, different values/rules we live by, ways of communicating, ways of interacting with others, we have different lens and ultimately this creates a lot of opportunities for mishaps. On this week's episode we dive deeper into this topic. On the episode, we discuss: How power dynamics come into play That the motto ‘the client is always right’ is a scarcity based approach to interacting with people Knowing what our survival mechanisms are when we feel threatened and how to respond in a way that makes us feel good And more! Conflict is normal, so please try not to panic too much if you’re finding yourself in a situation that has it. Breathe, extend compassion to yourself, check in about what is happening and figure out how you’d like to respond. I believe in you - you are doing way better than you realize!

Have you ever wanted people closest to you, whether that be your friends, family, or partner, to support you more when it comes to your business? One question I get asked often is how to get people around you on board with your entrepreneurial goals and one thing I have realized is that sometimes it might take a bit of time to do that. This isn’t because these people don’t care about us, or don’t want to see us succeed, it really just comes down to the fact that they don’t understand it. For many entrepreneurs, the only people who really get it are other entrepreneurs. Our society doesn’t necessarily encourage people to become entrepreneurs, it encourages us to become employable - but not to become the employer. For our friends and family, we might very well be the only entrepreneur they know. Which is why they might not support us in the ways we desire - they simply haven’t learnt how yet. If you want to hear more on this topic, check out this week’s podcast episode.

Are you struggling to figure out what offer to launch? Or what business to start? What career to build? What opportunity to pursue? I hear this so often from many of my clients. They want to express themselves in so many ways, that in our one-dimensional definition of success, they start questioning their ambition for more than one passion. We are constantly evolving beings. From the books we read, to the people we spend time with, and even how we take our coffee can change over time! We allow our tastes to change in certain areas of our lives, yet restrain them in other areas - often in our careers. We expect perfection from ourselves and a straight line to success. But when you’re a multi-faceted human, your success metrics are always evolving. What if the industrialized rinse-and-repeat cycle is not the best success metric to aim for? What if we set aside the old school masculine business methods that teach us to condense ourselves into a machine over a human? I want to invite you to look at yourself as an artist and someone who has their own style, approach to life, and way of living and being. As an artist, your multi-passionate self is a valuable trait. Why not take on a lens for your life and business that supports who you are rather than pushes down who you are? If you want to hear more on this topic, check out this week’s podcast episode.

Last week we talked about how transformation can feel like failure. Especially when we’re in the middle of a big project, everything is looking more messy in the middle and overwhelming us. This week, I want to go even deeper in this. What happens when you find yourself in this “slump”? Think of this week’s episode as my pep talk to help you climb out of it. When I’m in a slump, the support I always reach for is shifting my perspective, grace and compassion, and getting support. There is so much in business that goes on behind the tactics and strategies. So often, the biggest hurdle is our own belief that we have what it takes to come out the other side. If you want to hear more on this topic, check out this week’s podcast episode.

I’ve been having so many conversations with my clients and within The Lighthouse Collective when it comes to transformation. Many of us are finding ourselves in this energetic space of change and kind of knowing where we’re going without actually knowing where we’re going. If you’re in this space, and even if you’re not, I recorded this week’s podcast episode with you in mind. It reminded me of all the caterpillars we’re currently seeing here in Ottawa. What I recently learned about caterpillars is that they actually turn to mush in their transition. To unbecome a caterpillar and become a butterfly, they must disintegrate into mush for a period of time. Are you in the mush phase? That middle phase where you’re no longer who you used to be and not yet your future version. Or your business is no longer what it used to be but not yet its potential. Remember that when it starts to feel like there’s no progress happening in this phase, it’s because you’re in the mush phase of your evolution. Transformational change is happening, it’s just harder to see the progress in this phase. Keep going though, you’re doing better than you realize, you’re making more progress than you’re aware of and the change you desire is just around the corner. If you want to hear more on this topic, check out this week’s podcast episode.

Subject: Having a Hard Time Making Money? Is This Social Construct Holding You Back? Do you feel shame around wanting to be wealthy? Commerce and capitalism are not one in the same. Capitalism is a newer economic model in relation to how long humans have had goods and services to trade for. Commerce exists outside of capitalism and in many ways can actually be apart of what dismantles it. I share this because many of us have deep social constructs running through our minds when it comes to wealth and capitalism. This shows up in how we speak to potential clients and our audiences. We project our feelings when it comes to making money, capitalism and wanting to be a good person. We can (or others can) confuse the idea that wanting to be wealthy AND wanting to be ethical and support our communities are mutually exclusive ideas. That it has to be one OR the other. But that isn’t the case. Making money (or a thing you can barter+trade with) existed before capitalism and it will exist after capitalism. This is a huge distinction to understand, because our support and encouragement of making money doesn’t need to be tied into the negative narratives of capitalism, because while they are linked, they are not the same. You can make money, build wealth AND dismantle capitalism at the same time. Positive change occurs when people find ways to beat the system - whether that’s capitalism, patriarchy, or any other repressive construct. What I want you to take away today is that you can live and win (aka be happy, healthy and supportive of others) in a capitalist world without playing by its rules. You don’t need to exploit others or believe in competition or choose profit over everything else. If you want to hear more on this topic, check out this week’s podcast episode.

Entrepreneurship signifies the possibility of what could be. We might not know exactly what something will look like, but we still have this feeling of what it could be and we follow that feeling. However, there’s also an aspect of entrepreneurship where sometimes we’re trying to prove something. We create it into this magic pill to cure a job we don’t like, a salary we’re not happy with, work we’re not fulfilled with. Our energy is the most important compass for our business. In anything we do, we can look at the root energy force that is fueling our actions. The power of perspective is that if we’re approaching something and not getting the results we want, then we can shift our perspective and approach it from a different direction. This shows up often in social media and feeling like the algorithm is against us and no one is engaging with us. The answer is not to grind harder. The answer might be to ask yourself: how can I approach social media from a different angle? What can I change if this isn’t working? If I don’t even like what I am doing AND I am not getting the results I want either, maybe I can try something fun or more enjoyable? Simply approaching ourselves+business, where we get stuck, and the problems we might face from a space of curiosity instead of critique can help us move forward with more ease.

On the episode, we discuss: Content creation on Instagram Expectations we put on ourselves Relationship between curiosity and possibility I believe in you - you are doing way better than you realize!

So many of us get caught up trying to keep up that we fail to realize how we might be doing ourselves more harm than good - both emotionally, physically, and in our businesses. Today I want to talk about my favourite topic: ditching the should’s and doing what feels like fun. Consistency is one of the most important muscles in your business, but consistency doesn’t come from sheer motivation and grinding it out. It comes from being passionate and intrinsically motivated to show up and do the thing. This is why there’s no cookie cutter playbook for the right strategy and schedule - because it all depends on what energizes you, what feels like fun for you, and what makes you come alive. What are those for you? What tasks energize you? Consider how you show up on social media. We can feel socially pressured to show up in a certain way online, or in a specific way, or on an intense schedule. How can you show in a way that’s more aligned with who you are instead of how you think you “should” show up? If you want to hear more on this topic, check out this week’s podcast episode. On the episode, we discuss: Your definition of success Feeling stuck in our business Confirmation biases that hold us back I believe in you - you are doing way better than you realize!

We go through different periods of life and our business where we feel overwhelmed. It can be easy to actually add onto that overwhelm simply from our own expectations and how we expect ourselves to show up. As entrepreneurs, we inherently have the intrinsic motivation to push ourselves to build our business and life in a way we desire. But every strength has an opposite trait - in this case, a tendency to push ourselves past what is necessary, or even healthy. When we are feeling overwhelmed, our inner motivation can take on a new energy and become a little too pushy. I’m in a period of my life where I’m launching a new business while also continuing to grow my core business, which is business coaching. Going through this experience and learning to balance my own energy in a way that keeps me from burnout is actually what helps me relate to my clients and help them push through a busier time of their business with grace and compassion. If you want to hear more on this topic, check out this week’s podcast episode.

This week I want to share a beautiful conversation I had with Errin Weisman about a topic that many of us can relate to and have probably experienced to a certain degree in our business or careers. It’s the idea of sacrificing everything in our life to pursue a “good profession” and then once we’ve made it realizing that we actually feel empty and have lost so many years just blindly husting without stopping to appreciate what’s in front of us. It’s waiting for the delayed gratification to come and realizing that it’s not going to come. Errin Weisman is a family physician turned life coach who is all about calling out the bullshit on the hustle culture. She did what many professionals might be afraid to do: moving out of a career that we’re told by society is “good” and that we’ve “made it” - and instead pursuing a career like coaching where there is so much judgement and negativity that it’s not a “real job”.

We can’t let what we “should” do get in the way of what we “can” do. We’ve all added many “should’s” to our to-do list. Whether that’s social plans, a strategy that our friends or peers are following, and even limiting beliefs that we hold. Ironically, I recorded this week’s episode almost a week later than I usually do. So many opportunities unlocked this past week - from launching the next cohort of The Lighthouse Collective, as well as my new passion project, AND still working through the final renovations of my rental property. So when it came to recording this episode, I’ve been pushing it off because I can’t find a long enough pocket of time to record the length of episode that I always do. I filled my head with so many “should’s’ - I should record soon, I should make it a long episode, etc. And then I looked at today’s topic and I laughed. I sat myself down and reminded myself that I can be okay with a shorter episode this week and the episode will be just as valuable as it is meant to be… and immediately I felt the stress leave. Instead of stressing over how short the episode will be, I chose to embrace how I can record the episode right now exactly where I am. This is a reminder to me and to you - drop your “should’s”, drop your expectations, and watch the pressure drop on its own.

Entrepreneurship is an energy - it’s a specific way of thinking and being. For this reason, I want to plant the seed here today that this entrepreneurial energy is what allows us to build a business in our own unique way and on our own unique terms. I fundamentally believe that we will be more fulfilled without a cookie cutter strategy - because this energy of freedom and experimentation should not be contained in the same rigid box as a corporate job is. How your business looks today isn’t necessarily how it will always look, nor should you want it to. You have the freedom to build and grow your business in a way that aligns with your own personal growth and ambitions. When you’re willing to take responsibility for your life and future, you will be more willing to take on the difficulties that come with entrepreneurship. When you’re growing and scaling your business, also look at how you can grow and scale your life. It’s a balance of how much money will give you more free time to do the things your heart craves. Remember, it’s not only about financial wealth, we also have to invest in our emotional wealth. If you want to hear more on this topic, check out this week’s podcast episode.

Community is, without doubt, the number one asset in our lives and business (other than ourselves - and we are a part of the community). The type of community that we surround ourselves with is a reflection of who we are. It helps us generate and test out our ideas, build our network, create opportunities for ourselves and others, collaborate with people to create new things and more. The more encouragement, space, and support we have around us, the more we are able to flourish. I strongly believe that community is my own, and should be everyones, #1 business and personal growth strategy. In this time of mass isolation, the trap we can find ourselves in is perpetuating our feelings of isolation by trying to do everything ourselves, to not reach out for support, to think we have to do life alone. Even my own energy is very determined and resilient, but that can lead me to think I can do everything on my own by sheer will. I convince myself that I can do everything alone - even though I can’t. But not everything in life is meant to be done alone. If you’re currently in a place of feeling “stuck”, this might be a clue that you’re trying to figure it out on your own. How can you look for support? Pretending that our success comes solely from our own effort often comes from our ego. Our desire to prove that we did everything ourselves. You’ve heard me talk about the concept of being self-made before, and how I believe none of us are self made. We are an accumulation of all the interactions we’ve had throughout our lives - good, bad or neutral. We are who we are based on the people around us and we have to take responsibility over finding and nurturing who those people are. One of the most valuable questions I have asked myself, that has significantly helped me create the business I have is… “how can I find the people, who become my people”.... Whether that be friends, mentors, collaborators, clients, or any combination of those, a strong network and community is integral to not only our mental health, but the success of our business as well.

Feeling uninspired is actually a normal ebb we all go through. We aren’t machines. Even those of us who are typically optimistic and positive can find ourselves in a funk and a low vibrational energy that makes us restless and uninspired. It’s important to notice how we label these emotions, which is often “bad”. We think being in a funk is bad, being unmotivated is bad, and being overwhelmed is bad. But because we are cyclical beings who experience the full range of emotions, we will continue to have light and heavy emotions. The personal development industry pushes us to fix anything that is “bad”, and so we internalize this need to “fix” ourselves anytime we feel a “bad” emotion. I’m here to remind us, myself included, that we can simultaneously want to change and evolve and grow, while also recognizing that we’re whole and amazing just as we are. Sometimes there’s nothing to fix. Sometimes we just need to sit in the emotion and gently move ourselves through it. If you want to hear more on this topic, check out this week’s podcast episode.

When we shoot for the stars, it’s important that we acknowledge the powerful magnetic force of gravity. When things fall to the ground, it’s all part of nature - not a sign we don’t have what it takes to try again. When things metaphorically fall in our business, we should take the same perspective. Failure and quitting and making mistakes - it’s all part of the journey. In the context of sports, taking shots and missing them is encouraged because it means the chances of scoring become higher. Growth and “failure” are embedded in the process. Teams lose games, and seasons all the time. In fact only 1 team every year actually ‘wins’ the championship. In sport you recognize that in order to win, you have to be prepared to lose, grow, learn, and lose some more. No team ever has a perfect season and no matter how amazing a team is, there are always going to be seasons where winning a championship isn’t in the cards that year. I want us to take the same approach in life and business. We can become so hyper focused on whatever just occurred. We forget the longevity of our careers and the importance of having patience throughout each season of winning and growing.

How do you show up for your dreams even when it feels like you’re stuck in a shit storm? Entrepreneurship feels like an uphill battle, even on the best of days. It requires persistence and pushing through the resistance we are feeling. But we want to look at persistence from the wholeness of our lives, not just from the single slice of our life, which is our business. Persistence can become harmful when we’re just focused on one single area of our life and when we think there is only one way to get to our goals - and so we push ourselves into burnout and overwhelm. Persistence should be tied to the wholeness of our full life, not just to the singular area of our business pursuits. We all feel stuck at different parts of our entrepreneurship journey - it’s not a sign that we are doing anything wrong, it just means we are in a temporary transition phase. We might have to show up differently at this time or take on a side job or reaching out for help. This is not the time to panic and spiral in thoughts of shame or disappointment. It also doesn’t mean giving up the rest of your life to persist through the quicksand you are currently feeling in your singular business mission.
