In case you're new here, Webs of Truth is a sub-podcast collaboration between myself and Lindsey Lockett from the Holistic Trauma Healing Podcast. Today, we are unpacking the questionable marketing choices that many nervous system and somatic coaches are making. We'd love to advocate for nervous system tools to be woven into every part of how your community interacts with you, beginning at the level of marketing.In our candid conversation, we tackle the commodification of healing in the age of social media, where somatic practices are marketed as quick fixes.

I recently shared these thoughts on my Instagram page and I am bringing them to you here on my podcast. As someone who has been speaking and teaching about nervous systems for over 10 years, I've been anticipating the inevitability of social media influencers oversimplifying regulation tools as a cure-all. Not only does this perpetuate the cycles of bypassing that leave clients feeling broken or even more stuck, the sacred medicine of nervous system work is being exploited as yet another cure-all to sell using harmful marketing techniques. Deep bow of gratitude to the wise women who lent their voices to this conversation on Instagram: @nicolepasveer@nestandnourish@the_play_coach@nadinezumot Kat HoSoo Lee is a trauma-informed Spiritual Business Mentor and host of The Rooted Business Podcast.

If you are joining us today, you'll want to check out Episode 135 first. That's because I have invited Tarot Reader and Creativity Coach Cecily Sailer to join me 5 times this year on a series exploring the interplay between the Tarot and the IChing.Episode 135 is the introduction to this series and it will give you context for our conversation today. Today's episode is an exploration in the interwoven and interdependent relationships between Yin and Yang energetics. One of the things I love about learning from other forms of spirituality is that we are all essentially saying the same thing because we're all trying our best to explain what we're seeing in nature and what we're experiencing in our human lives with the imperfect language of words, archetypes, imagery and energy. This episode is not just about theoretical knowledge; it's a practical toolkit for anyone looking to weave spiritual entrepreneurship with tangible healing.

In the landscape of social media, I often find myself at the crossroads of silence and declaration when it comes to global conflicts. It's a place where every post and comment is scrutinized, and things that are happening thousands of miles away from you can press upon your conscience. But what happens when you choose the path of quiet reflection over public proclamation? And why would someone choose to say silent in the face of so much heartache and corruption in the world?  This episode is a heartfelt exploration into the ethical maze of speaking out on complex geopolitical issues, where I open up about the pressures to voice an opinion and the profound realization that sometimes, the most responsible action is to pause and learn.As we navigate the digital world's expectation for instant reactions to societal events, the art of setting personal boundaries emerges as a vital skill. Here, I share the allure of crafting intimate connections through deep, thoughtful conversations, highlighting the power of subtler forms of support and influence. We don't always need to shout to be heard; often, it's the quiet presence and the space we hold for one-on-one dialogue that can leave an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of others. Join me as we explore the value of the unsung impact of those quieter contributions and discover how they can resonate just as profoundly within the collective narrative.

As the first month of the year sweeps in with its gust of self-improvement demands, we—Kat and Lindsay—invite you into our conversation about the relentless tug-of-war between aspirations and the realities of self-discipline. Have you ever found yourself caught in the undercurrent of 'should', where every cell in your body resists the societal pull towards productivity, yet your mind chastises you for every unproductive moment? Together, we walk through the shadows of perfectionism that linger from childhood, discussing how they shape our lives and contribute to the anxiety that often comes with the pursuit of a polished exterior.Our journey doesn't stop at the surface struggles; we plunge into the deep waters of shame, guilt, and self-doubt. Sharing stories close to our hearts, we shine a light on the often-invisible burden these emotions place on our day-to-day lives, from the dishwasher left unloaded to the gym membership card gathering dust. We grapple with the dichotomy of desire and guilt, the magnetic pull of both, and how they shape our relationship with self-discipline. Our candid tales weave through emotional resistance to exercise and the surprising revelations of bodily communication, hoping to strike a chord with those who have ever felt the weight of their own expectations.As we wrap up this episode, we turn the lens towards self-compassion and balance. We reflect on our own journeys with exploringthe delicate dance of managing weight in a way that honors our health and well-being while not bypassing the emotional tumult of communicating with our bodies, . Embracing the Yang energy of new beginnings, we ponder the nuanced interplay of hormones, stress, and self-care, offering insights into a more harmonious way of navigating life's intricacies. Join us for a heartfelt exchange that promises more than just solace—it offers a shared path to understanding and, hopefully, a little laughter along the way.Lindsey Lockett is a trauma educator and coach who specializes in working with the autonomic nervous system.

Do you ever feel like you're running on empty, burdened with the societal pressure to be ceaselessly productive? We explore the tangled web of burnout, its impact on mental health, and how our attitudes and systems of work lead to this common state of exhaustion. Just because burnout is common does not mean it is normal and I've asked Accountant Misa Bacon and HR Consultant Candice Elliott to bring their invaluable insights and personal experiences to the table. In this episode, we dive into the intriguing connection between burnout and how this pattern relates to the water element and winter season. We examine the history of work to unpack why we are influenced to be relentlessly productive and highlight how honoring natural cycles, like winter's call for rest, is the medicine we all need and crave.

Webs of Truth is a monthly sub-podcast of The Rooted Business Podcast with Spiritual Business Mentor Kat HoSoo Lee and the Holistic Trauma Healing Podcast with Holistic Trauma Educator Lindsey Lockett. In this conversation, Spiritual Business Mentor Kat HoSoo Lee and Holistic Trauma Educator Lindsey Lockett explore the concept of responsibility from both the perspective of coach and client by examining the emotional wounds our clients have carried from past coaching experiences. This is a nuanced discussion that asks us to intentionally dissect how we hold space, invite questions and uphold boundaries to create transparency and safety for our clients. As trauma-informed coaches ourselves, we firmly believe in empowering clients to see the coach's role as a guide, not an authority figure. You'll hear us  drawing upon examples from our own experiences as practitioners to share how we embody this energy of guide. We hope to inspire you to think about how you too can create a similar culture of trust that your clients can sink into. Resources:Kat raves about her new accountant Rocco Tundo who will be teaching in her Energetics of Money for Spiritual Entrepreneurs course in 2024. Lindsey Lockett is a trauma educator and coach who specializes in working with the autonomic nervous system.

What happens when we shift our mindset from individualism to community? This week, we explore this concept with Regenerative Farmer Daniel Salatin, who shares insightful observations on the profound power of community, especially in business. Salatin's approach challenges us to consider potential competitors as future partners, and demonstrates how mutual support can transform our growth both personally and in business. He brings alive the concept of interdependence and the strength of community through lessons we can learn from regenerative farming.In our conversation, we also discuss the interconnectedness of all living organisms within an ecosystem and how this can be applied to create a robust and thriving business. Salatin emphasizes the importance of outsourcing, collaboration, and sharing knowledge openly and generously. He believes that by recognizing our own individual roles and leveraging our unique strengths, we can contribute to a common goal more effectively and foster an environment of abundance. As the episode unfolds, we delve into the subject of finding fulfillment in our work, aligning our internal compass with our external circumstances, and understanding the role of co-creative relationships in fostering abundance.

I circle around the concept of the Dao a lot on social media, but I've never pinned down exactly what my relationship to Dao is and how significantly this connection has impacted my life and the lives of my clients. So I'm going to do my best here. I'm going to try to explain the unexplainable. On this episode, we delve into the intricacies of the spiritual practice of aligning with Dao, a subtractive journey that peels back layers of conditioning to reveal our true selves. We take a strong stance against the manipulation of spirituality often seen in modern times, as we navigate towards authenticity and self-awareness.This episode features the voice of BAM Community Member, Camden Torres. Camden's Dao is 'sensual', a word that encapsulates a plethora of emotions and experiences - the wild, the exploration, the creation, the mystery, and the awakening. Together, we explore the power of the Dao as a guide to make everyday decisions that align us closer to our authentic selves. We demonstrate the transformative power of being in touch with our senses, embracing discomfort, and unraveling the mysteries of life.Being a spiritual business mentor is not just about guiding others; it's about embodying the words that resonate with our souls. Today, we explore the transformative potential of embodying the Dao and how this practice radiates out into our lives, relationships, businesses, and communities. As we reach the end of our discussion, I invite you to explore Business Alchemist Mentorship, a 9-month journey towards cultivating a business that is driven by your Dao .

If you've caught yourself bending over backwards to accomodate others only to feel drained and undervalued, this is a must-listen episode for you. My dear friends Nervous System Coach Lindsay Lockett and Intuitive Nourishment Guide Vanessa Rodriguez join me in a vulnerable chat about a survival mechanism we unwittingly latch onto - people pleasing. We dissect the roots of this behavior and its relationship to how we relate to the energetic resources of the Earth Archetype. Drawing from our personal journeys, we illuminate how this behavior stems from societal and parental conditioning, manifesting as self-abandonment. We shed light on how the expectation for spiritual entrepreneurs to prove their value through service has fueled this pattern and how it could be taking a toll on your wellbeing and your business. Resources:Ishmael by Daniel QuinnComplex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving: A Guide and Map for Recovering from Childhood Trauma by Pete WalkerTo learn more about the energetics of Earth Element and People-Pleasing, check out the archives:Ep. 83 Receiving Abundance and Returning to Your Body with Christina CecconiEp. 57 Nourishing the Soul in the Earth Element with Christina Cecconi Ep. 49 Untangle People-Pleasing Patterns  with Empowerment Coach Courtney KoesterVenessa Rodriguez is an intuitive nourishment guide and creatrix behind the Feed Your Wild podcast.

Today is a conversation about surrender. Surrendering enough to allow the Universe to surprise you with a path that you could've never planned.   Meghan started Business Alchemist Mentorship in 2021 and she's one of my favorite testimonials for the program even though she technically "failed". She didn't build an online coaching business like she had intended. She poured herself into asking one of the core questions I ask my students: "What is your soul's purpose?" and wound up making a complete shift into becoming a singer/song-writer.  Meghan used to equate purpose with helping others through selfless service which led her down many career paths ranging from self-employed fitness coach to climbing the corporate ladder. She found herself burnt out and losing touch with her own passions. By reorienting to her soul's purpose, she was led down a journey of getting into touch with her artistic spirit through painting and music. Meghan's story is a tale of embracing her creative side, setting boundaries, and learning to manage personal capacity without losing oneself in the pursuit of dreams.   She shares wisdom on the importance of taking a personal inventory of where our energy is invested and how this can lead to a clearer understanding of our lives. Whether you're at crossroads in your career, looking to rediscover your passions, or seeking to align your energy with your values, this conversation is just for you.   I am so excited (and proud!) to share that Meghan has produced her first album and you'll get a chance to hear a sneak peek of her first song here.Megan Aro:ARO is an independent singer and song writer living in Los Angeles. As an artist, she's open about her mental health and internal process, using her music as a tool to alchemize some of the darker parts of herself.

Last year, my business ground to a halt for seemingly no explainable reason. This led to me venturing on a journey to explore relational health and safety with my business.  This episode isn't about the financial rebound, but instead the spiritual truths that emerged from that challenging period. I'll unpack the profound lessons from this contraction, the deepening belief that business is a spiritual practice and how everything is intrinsically relational. Not only that, but I'll also share how our businesses, like our bodies, whisper, and sometimes scream for our attention through signs and symptoms.  Imagine the power of being in a co-creative relationship to the entities in your life - your clients, your business, even your fears. In this episode, we journey together, exploring the transformative power of surrender in both business and personal life. I reveal the challenges of self-validation, the fear of disappointing those I love, and how this tight rope walk between love and fear led to a stronger connection with my business and myself. We'll delve into the heart of surrender as an expression of love and trust, and how it opened up unanticipated paths to co-create something magical with my business.  Kat Lee is a trauma-informed Spiritual Business Mentor and host of The Empowered Curiosity Podcast.

Emotions can impact everything from your physical health to yes, your business. We discuss just how powerful this connection can be in this conversation with Janine Kreft.

What if we could live in harmony with land, community, and business by weaving the concept of ecosystems into every relationship we nurture?  This week, we welcome Yaya Rivera to the Empowered Curiosity Podcast, who shares her inspiring journey of cultivating life on a homestead called Río Cósmico. Drawing from Taino cosmology and her European roots, Yaya speaks about her arrival to Río Cósmico and how being in relationship with this land has informed her practices that ranges from how she mothers to how she runs her business.   Together, we delve into the moral challenges of quantifying resources exchanged between people and land and how we can balance these effects with regenerative practices.
