38: Three ways to care for yourself as you build your regenerative business 23:14

3d ago23:14

23:14

When you’re building a regenerative business, it’s easy to focus on all the doing — the strategy, the content, the offers. But none of it happens without you. And if you’re not looking after the human behind the work, the work itself starts to wobble. In this high-energy solo episode, I share 3 powerful (and slightly unconventional) ways to look af…

37: Why you need a more meaningful financial goal for purposeful work 13:20

10d ago13:20

13:20

Most people set financial goals that sound sensible… but feel totally flat. “Replace my salary.” “Make enough to survive.” “Hit 6 figures.” But when your goal has no real WHY behind it, it’s hard to stay motivated — especially when you’re building a career rooted in purpose, impact, or regeneration. In this short solo episode, I’ll walk you through…

24d ago11:39

11:39

Today’s episode begins in a rain-soaked woodland, the first drops falling after weeks of dryness. It’s a moment of relief—for the land and for me. Just after finishing a wild coaching session with a client, I’m walking among the trees, reflecting on a question that’s been showing up for both of us: What do you do when you’re doing all the right thi…

33. Immersing in Nature / Being Instead of Doing in Business / Creative, Energetic and Playful Offers 28:10

2M ago28:10

28:10

Today's episode starts in an open meadow, the ground soaked with dew and the early morning sunlight just beginning to light up the tips of trees. Immersing in nature is a key theme not only of this podcast but of all my work.

31. Build a business around your true value (not capitalism’s version) 14:45

3M ago14:45

14:45

Capitalism has very clear ideas about what makes us valuable—to capitalism. When we consider doing our own thing or creating our own business, this is often where we start. It’s also where we get trapped, because when we focus our attention on those things, we continue to prop up the very system we want to step out of. Why are we so attached to the…

30: Creativity over consistency: choosing a business rooted in life 18:50

3M ago18:50

18:50

Regeneration is restoring life and life is inconsistent. Life is cyclical. Life ebbs and flows. It has flourishing seasons of incredible, abundant growth and then it has long, long seasons where you can't see anything happening. Where everything looks dead, quiet and still. That is what I choose for myself and for my business... to change with the …

It’s time to make radical changes in your worklife.

Money is the biggest blocker to pursuing a regenerative career, but the reality is, you’re already paying a very high price for that corporate salary. Money makes the world go round they say. The truth is that money also controls us. It traps us into jobs that we probably never intended for ourselves. It holds us back from the dreams of our childho…
