Cam and Nai are digging into an important topic today, talking about mindset, socialisation and systemic oppression. In the coaching, personal growth and business world, we have been given a lot of messages and taught a lot of ways to feel better, to make our goals happen and to get the life that we want. However, there is a huge lack of truly inclusive feminist analysis of those message and teachings around mindset.Mindset matters and it’s not the whole story. It’s not as simple as changing your mindset to change your life. At the Feminist Coach Academy, we believe we can talk about mindset, but we must also talk about and name socialisation and systemic oppression. Cam and Nai explore the problems with the message that all the blocks and barriers we experience are about mindset and the oversimplification of the advice to ‘just change your mindset’.They also discuss the inner critic, which is often a conversation in psychology, personal development and self-help spaces, and how it can be a useful piece to bring to the equation, from both a self-awareness and a social-awareness perspective. It’s not just about noticing and countering our inner critic, but also questioning where we learned it, how we were socialised to believe the things our inner critic is saying, and the internalised oppressive beliefs that may be underlying our inner critic.Cam and Nai then explore the myths around hard work and merit, and the role that capitalism, white supremacy and other isms play in ‘The American Dream’ (or similar ‘have it all’ ideas). the impact of privilege and systemic oppression in teachings about business, marketing practices and money mindset.Finally, they explore why it’s useful to be aware of binary thinking and remember that it’s not ‘either/or’ but ‘both and’ when it comes to mindset, socialisation and systemic oppression. This is an ongoing process of unpacking and unlearning, and that’s exactly what the Feminist Coach Academy was set up to help you do.If you want to learn how to integrate an inclusive feminist praxis into your work, business, yourself and your everyday life and get Certified in Feminist Coach Theory, then we invite you to join our Certification Training.

In this episode Cam interviews Maggie Patterson, a mentor to service-based business owners and content marketing agency owner with 15+ years experience. Maggie is also a current student of the Feminist Coach Academy Certification Training.Maggie shares her trajectory in business over the last decade and a half, and the privileges she had when starting out in business that are really important to be transparent about, and why this is the missing piece of the conversation within the online business world.Cam and Maggie discuss the red flags and shady practices in the online business world. They discuss why we need to talk more about the privileges we have going into business and making this accessible for those who don’t, and who come from different socio-economic backgrounds.Maggie explains how 2020 helped her lose her filter and start honest conversations that deeply need to happen in the online business world, including the collective trauma of the pandemic, the racial reckoning in June and the resistance of big online business leaders to acknowledge, let alone address it, deeply and genuinely.Maggie and Cam discuss the problematic pillars of online business including blaming everything on mindset, and the normalisation of arbitrary 6 and 7 figure goals and of a kind of “fancy” lifestyle that is abnormal for most people. They then go on to discuss business masterminds and the problems and red flags to look out for there, as well as the ways online business replicates systems of oppression and relies on emotional labour from marginalised communities.Finally, Cam and Maggie discuss why Maggie joined the Feminist Coach Academy Certification Training, how it has impacted her business and life, and why she appreciates how rigorous, robust and intersectional it is.Connect with Maggie on Instagram @smallbusinessboss or smallbusinessboss.co and via her podcast BS-Free Service Business PodcastDo you want to learn how to integrate an inclusive feminist praxis into your work, business, yourself and your everyday life and get Certified in Feminist Coach Theory?

Happy New Year. I really hope this year is less hard, that it doesn’t feel as heavy, that we get a handle on the pandemic and that we can truly change systems of oppression that are not working for us and the world. There’s a lot to look at there. Hopefully that greater social awareness from 2020 is here to stay and to grow.This episode isn’t about setting goals or looking at the year you want to create for yourself.

In this episode Cam interviews Jolinda Johnson, a Wellness Mentor and Priestess who is a current student of the Feminist Coach Academy Certification Training. Jolinda helps her clients break up with burnout and return to the wild, whole, healthy and free.Jolinda specialises in hormone health, burnout prevention and recovery and is focused on helping clients to tap into what feels good (not just what makes sense) and to move to a place of wholeness and wellness on their own terms, redefining what wellness means for them outside of the package that we’re sold.Cam and Jolinda discuss her journey over the last 10 years, including the health experiences and new learnings that shifted her focus and why Jolinda no longer calls herself a ‘Women’s Health Coach’.They explore some of the oppressive messages in the health and wellness spaces about our bodies and relationship to our bodies, addressing privilege in the world of wellness and dismantling our conditioning on a path to liberatory wellness.Jolinda also covers some of the ideals set up in the wellness world that perpetuate systems of oppression, such as the toxicity of the “perfect” menstrual cycle, and instead how we can learn to be savvy about hormones and befriend and claim an alliance with our body.They also discuss the toxic relationship many of us have with rest and pleasure and why we should be focusing our energy on identifying the problematic messages and oppressive systems playing out in the wellness world, instead of battling our bodies.Finally, they discuss sacred activism, what Jolinda has been learning through the FCA, becoming more inclusive and applying that in business and the importance of being a practitioner that acknowledges oppression and communicates that in online platforms and communities, imperfectly and continuously.Connect with Jolinda on Instagram @coachjolinda and in the Facebook Group “The Rebel Health Collective”.Do you want to learn how to integrate an inclusive feminist praxis into your work, business, yourself and your everyday life and get Certified in Feminist Coach Theory?

Nai and Cam have a conversation about the things that they as co-founders have been learning and implementing, as they learn alongside members in the current intake of the Feminist Coach Theory Certification Training. One of the things that Desiree Adaway, a teacher and Advisory Board Member in the Feminist Coach Academy, has said many times is the importance of learning publicly.Nai and Cam share what they’re learning and the feedback they’re getting and applying on the following topics:How dominant the English language is in the training and in generalHow gender neutral language doesn’t always translate into other languages and contextsThe need for captions on videos and transcripts of audios to be more inclusive and not able-istThe way true inclusivity is actually a collaborative experience with your communityHow to be inclusive to folks whose identities we don’t shareWays to be more inclusive to folks in any group who don’t share the dominant identity so they don’t get lost in the mixHow, as course creators, it’s easy to get disconnected from the experience of the learner because the focus becomes about organising files and coordinating teachers and facilitating the technologyWays Nai and Cam are connecting back into what might not be clear to members as they go through the courseworkThe difference between genuine feedback for improving a training and ‘feedback forms’ that are really for seeking testimonialsThe benefits Nai and Cam are finding from applying what they’re learning from the student surveysWhy they’re shifting from Feminist CEO Calls to Feminist Coworking CallsEnsuring multiple perspectives are shared on classes led by white folksThe importance of self-care and rest in working on this big mission!Do you want to learn how to integrate an inclusive feminist praxis into your work, business, yourself and your everyday life and get Certified in Feminist Coach Theory?

In this first episode of Season 3, Cam and Nai are exploring what Feminism is, plus a short reflection on the results of the US election and how it relates to this episode. This conversation has been inspired by hearing a lot of people, particularly White Feminists, define Feminism as gender equality.Cam and Nai believe it is so much more than that and that we need to rework that definition as a movement, a collective and a community. They share definitions from a range of Feminists that they look up to, admire and recommend to you as well.Cam and Nai explore why the definition of Feminism as gender equality is a White definition and why it’s limiting to be defining it in that way, as well as some reasons why you might not identify with the term or the movement because it has been seen as the ‘F word’.They discuss why it’s problematic and why saying ‘I’m an Intersectional Feminist’ isn’t the solution either, plus what we can consider saying instead. They share the definition of Feminist Coach Theory from the Feminist Coach Academy and how this relates to coaching, business and client practice.Finally, Cam and Nai share a short coda to to the episode in light of the US election and why Feminism needs to interrogate Whiteness and White Supremacy.Do you want to learn how to integrate an inclusive feminist praxis into your work, business, yourself and your everyday life and get Certified in Feminist Coach Theory?

In this brief episode, the Feminist Coach Academy co-founders Cam & Nai provide an update on what is to come - including Season 3 of the podcast and the upcoming early bird launch for enrollments in the March 2021 Feminist Coach Theory Certification Training.

This is the last episode of Season 2, and we will take a break to get Season 3 ready for you coming in November 2020. We will have more guest teachers on, advisory board and even some of our members in future episodes.Today’s episode is a practical one for you about how to move beyond the gender binary in your business and your life. Cam explores moving beyond the terms ‘feminine’ and ‘masculine’, why these terms aren’t useful, how they’ve been used in our gender binary system that we live in.One question Cam poses is: What is one way that you do not fit into the gender binary system? There are so many ways that we do not fit into the gender binary, no matter how you were socialised. Cam asked this question of the current students in the Feminist Coach Academy and shares some of the common answers here.Cam goes on to explore the gender norms that are associated with the gender that was placed upon your or is expected of you, and how to use them yourself (if they resonate with you) without reinforcing them with others. Finally Cam shares a simple activity that can help you get clear with your language and move beyond gender binary terms in your business.Do you want to learn how to integrate an inclusive feminist praxis into your work, business, yourself and your everyday life and get Certified in Feminist Coach Theory?

Today’s episode is a clip from the first part of our free Feminist CEO Goal Setting Workshop that Cam led in July 2020. We thought we would give you a sneak peek because the beginning of it we go over what a Feminist Business is, why it’s important and What it means to be a feminist CEO. Cam guides you through six prompts in the workshop, the first of which we share in this episode today.This episode and this workshop is for any helping professional and entrepreneur learning how to do business your way, integrate Feminist Values and be inclusive and led by social justice in your work, business and practice. We believe at the Feminist Coach Academy that if you want to have a successful and a thriving Feminist Business then the thing to do is actually to invest in your feminist growth because that is what will help you do that.Being truly inclusive and creating radical change requires investment in growth and inclusive feminist awareness, and that means investing in experts and teachers of social justice and feminism with intersectional frameworks in relationship to your work or your business. There are people out there doing that, but they’re not mainstream, so we recommend that you invest in your feminist grown, not in business and marketing courses/programs outside of feminist awareness.Part of goal setting is acknowledging the realities that we’re in and what we need from the times we’re experiencing. Right now we are all navigating the pandemic, which will look and feel different for each of us depending on our situation and where we live in the world. What you might realise you need at this time is more rest, for example. It does affect your business, your life and your goals that you have for yourself so the first prompt to guide you in your goal setting is: what have you been learning and experiencing during this pandemic?Check out the full free Feminist CEO Goal Setting Workshop, including all 6 prompts, at www.feministcoachacademy.com plus find other great resources there too.Do you want to learn how to integrate an inclusive feminist praxis into your work, business, yourself and your everyday life and get Certified in Feminist Coach Theory?
