E201 - Breaking Free from Entrepreneurial Stress and Burnout with Shulamit Ber Levtov 25:23

för 7 dagar sedan25:23

25:23

Shulamit Ber Levtov is known as The Entrepreneurs' Therapist. She is a culture change catalyst focusing on mental health in entrepreneurship - speaking, teaching and consulting nationally and internationally, and supporting individual women business owners through the emotional challenges of running a business. Shulamit's unique approach combines her 30+ years of entrepreneurship and 24+ years as a mental health professional. She is a masters-level, licensed somatic trauma therapist and a trauma survivor herself. She also has certifications in the Trauma of Money and Financial Social Work. In this episode: Shulamit shares her personal journey of burnout, realizing she needed to exit her business to prioritize her mental health, which led her to support other entrepreneurs. She explains that cash flow is the number one stressor for entrepreneurs, triggering a survival response in the nervous system, making it harder to think clearly and solve business challenges. Shulamit talks about the hidden isolation of entrepreneurship—many business owners fear being vulnerable due to stigma and worry that admitting stress will harm their reputation. She shares tips on finding emotional support, from noticing who offers kindness in your circle to forming a “biz bestie” relationship for mutual encouragement. She introduces the concept of “slow business” and encourages women to seek out communities that align with their values instead of hustle culture. Shulamit explains how financial stress is deeply tied to self-worth and safety under capitalism, and how recognizing this can help entrepreneurs shift their mindset. She offers a first step to handling financial stress: acknowledge your nervous system response, show yourself compassion, and stop blaming yourself for feeling overwhelmed. She shares that she has a free newsletter where she discusses all things mental health as entrepreneurs - sign up here: https://www.shula.ca/newsletter Contacting Shulamit: https://www.shula.ca On Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shulamitberlevtov/ Other resources: Program: https://www.thetraumaofmoney.com/ Trauma of Money Book: https://www.wiley.com/en-us/The+Trauma+of+Money%3A+Mapping+Compassionate+Pathways+to+Healing+Financial+Trauma+and+Disempowering+Shame-p-9781394300679 Money shame blog post: https://www.shula.ca/4-steps-to-heal-money-shame/ ***** Lower Your Stress in Minutes with the Relax Now Mobile App Download Relax-Now , the mobile app offering quick, expert-led relaxation practices designed to fit into your busy day.

E200 Stop Overworking and Start Thriving with Human Design with Kristi Sullivan 21:00

för 14 dagar sedan21:00

21:00

Kristi H. Sullivan is a Human Design and Self Care expert, speaker and lead author of the best-selling Amazon book Stop Overworking & Start Overflowing: 25 Ways to Transform Your Life Using Human Design. She hosts a virtual community for spiritually-minded females to create better wellness, improve relationships, shift mindsets, and manifest more success, wealth and freedom - to live their best life by design. In this episode: Kristi shares how discovering human design was a lightbulb moment, just like when she first tried yoga—it completely changed how she saw herself and her energy. She explains that human design is like "astrology on steroids," helping you understand how your energy naturally flows so you can stop forcing yourself into a life that doesn’t fit. Kristi talks about the five energy types and how knowing yours can help you work smarter, not harder—especially if you’ve been feeling drained or burned out. She reveals that for instance, Manifestors, make up only 9% of the population and are designed to start things, not grind away at repetitive tasks (which explains why certain jobs just don’t feel right!). Kristi shares how burnout happens when we try to work in ways that don’t align with our energy type—knowing your human design can help you say yes to what fuels you and no to what drains you. She explains the difference between outer self-care (bubble baths and vacations) and inner self-care (rewiring limiting beliefs and recognizing unhealthy patterns). Kristi invites listeners to grab their free human design chart and start exploring how they can align their energy for more ease, flow, and success in their life and business.

E195 Align Your Life: The Secret to Happiness with Jennifer Kenney-Smith 24:33

för 7 weeks sedan24:33

24:33

Jennifer Kenney-Smith is Certified Yoga Teacher, Ayurvedic practitioner and a Life coach. She helps women who feel unfulfilled ignite their fire, reconnect to their power & embody their greatness. In this episode: Jennifer explains that alignment is all about listening to your body’s “hell yes” or “hell no.” When we ignore what feels good, stress and misalignment show up as overwhelm, exhaustion, and even physical illness. She talks about how stress literally stays in the body—Ayurveda calls it "Ama," or undigested emotions. When we don’t process stress, it leads to inflammation, which is the root of most diseases. Jennifer shares that true alignment isn’t about pushing or doing more—it’s actually about slowing down, being still, and reconnecting with yourself instead of chasing validation outside of you. She explains that simple practices like taking a walk in nature, journaling, or just looking at yourself in the mirror with kindness can help you reconnect and start creating a happier life. Jennifer shares how sleep is a huge key to alignment. It’s not just about getting hours in, but creating a ritual—eating earlier, turning off screens, and letting your body fully rest and detox overnight. She talks about starting the day with purpose—breathwork, movement, meditation, and even just stepping outside for sunlight can shift your entire energy for the day. She encourages checking in with yourself daily. Ask: “How do I feel?” and “What do I need?”—then actually honor the answer, whether it’s water, movement, or simply a break.

E187 Are You a SLAVE to Your Smartphone? Learn to Take Back Control with MJ Murray Vachon 31:43

för 19 weeks sedan31:43

31:43

MJ Murray Vachon is an LCSW and business owner with more than 48,000 hours of therapy sessions and 31 years of teaching her Mental Wellness program, Inner Challenge in schools, community groups and Notre Dame Football. In this episode: MJ shares how cell phones can increase stress and anxiety by overloading our brains with too much “feel-good” dopamine, similar to a sugar rush, leaving us feeling drained. MJ explains how overusing phones can mess with our natural ability to enjoy simpler pleasures, like a walk or time with friends, because we’re so used to the constant stimulation. She talks about a client who dramatically improved her mood and sleep just by reducing her phone time — proof that small changes make a big difference! MJ introduces the “ACCT” method for reducing phone use: Awareness, Creating phone-free zones, Curating what we look at, and Taking phones out of the bedroom. MJ recommends setting times when the phone is totally off-limits, like during family dinners or evening wind-downs. She encourages being mindful of what we consume on our phones — asking, “Is this life-giving or life-sucking?” She suggests using a traditional alarm clock so your phone doesn’t tempt you during the night; this can help avoid sleepless scrolling and improve rest. She mentioned going into the science of cell phones on a deeper level on her podcast – you can listen to it here: https://tinyurl.com/MJMVCalm Contacting MJ https://mjmurrayvachon.com/ On Social https://www.facebook.com/mj.murrayvachon https://www.instagram.com/vachonmjmurray/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/m-j-murray-vachon-lcsw-184252289/ Blogpost: https://therelaxationlounge.info/cell-phone-stress-with-mj-murray-vachon/ ***** Lower Your Stress in Minutes with the Relax Now Mobile App Download Relax-Now , the mobile app offering quick, expert-led relaxation practices designed to fit into your busy day.
