The Soul's Way

Do you ever just wonder... when is enough enough? Will I ever feel like I've "made it"? Is it even possible to achieve satisfaction as an entrepreneur?  In this episode, I am sharing with you about the HUGE epiphany I've had this month about where I am at and how I'm feeling in business. Spoiler alert: I'm feeling satisfied, fulfilled and CHILL for the first time ever about where I am at. These are my reflections on the inner and outer work it took to get here. My harvest era. It wasn't that long ago that I *demanded* my business become more reciprocal and I knew things had to change... I remember deeply reflecting last April if I would continue my business at all, And in November of 2024 I decided to focus more on writing and speaking since speaking gigs have been paying me most generously.  I'm happy to say that I've really stuck to that focus of serving my existing communities (including The Hive now!) and the speaking and writing.  AND - I am at a spot where I would truly use the word "thriving" to describe my business and it's not just a numbers thing. It's an energy thing. It's a reciprocity thing. It's a fulfillment thing.

Join me as I pull back the curtain of my first 6-figure sales year as a coaching and speaking business. This is a no nonsense, no fluff, very transparent and vulnerable look at: The numbers- how much I actually received in cash (not sales), what my expenses looked like and how much net profit was actually left Taxes, exchange rates and other barriers Canadian businesses face when operating internationally  The first high ticket mentorship I've NOT regretted  What worked well? What didn't work? How I can streamline for next year How I can increase profit margins  This is a tender share but I hope it will help you feel more encouraged and tuned into what *actually* goes into generating a profitable coaching business.  Check out The Hive at www.emilyannebrant.com/thehive and connect with me on @emilyannebrant to let me know your thoughts on this episode!  Check out Holding Space for Race at www.emilyannebrant.com/holdingspaceforrace  Get my FREE e-book at www.emilyannebrant.com/decolonize

Hello From My Rest & Reciprocity Era! I am back from an unintentional 2 month podcast hiatus and feeling clarity, creativity and reciprocity. If you need permission to continue embracing winter and going into hermit mode - this is for you. Though you're more than likely to roll your eyes at my version of hermit mode: taking a 200 hour yoga teacher training, writing a book and working a full time job! But for me and my #ADHD stimulation needing brain, this is me "coasting". The yoga is truly just for me right now and is honestly changing my life. I'll share more soon, but for now I am happily in full student mode.  1. Grab the free e-book: www.emilyannebrant.com/decolonize 2.

What do coaches have to do with politics? Are leaders and healers obligated to show up the way their community is asking them? As a spiritual leader, what's my role in decolonization and liberation?

Ya know that feeling when you meet a #BizBestie and you just GET each other? That's me and my "cuz" Melinda Jackson. We both have plenty of experience in the coaching industry, both as clients and as imperfect leaders. Myself as an Indigenous, disabled, neuro-spicy woman. Melinda as a Black, nonbinary, Queer, neuro-spicy person. We have thoughts on some of the practices in the industry, such as... The "invisible offer" trend that we find alarming The hyper binary "feminine energy" spaces The word salad and fluff I've paid thousands for "Celebrity" coaches and culty vibes How do these millionaires sleep at night...or do they? The crumbling of colonial, toxic coaching  And so much more, including our own "cringey eras" and how we've evolved from them and continue to be ever-evolving and learning. The audio is wonky, the conversation is unplanned and a bit all over the place, and this is totally unfiltered - but we hope you enjoy it. Let us know!

Legit almost titled this episode "Feeling Blah, HBU?" as this is a real, unfiltered peek into the mess lately. I've been going through what I am now calling "spiritual renovations" as well as business renovations as I prepare to scale...and oh yes, the crumbling of the world that we are all feeling so deeply. I wanted to show you the mess while I am in it and also record it for myself so I can look back at this time when I am in a totally different place. It's wild how quickly things can change and energies shift and I look forward to the time when I say "wow I'm in a totally different place now"...but today is not that day. #WelcomeToMyMess

What is stopping folks from doing antiracism and decolonization work? What is making it so hard to sustain? Why did so many eagerly dive into antiracism work in 2020 and then quit?

A big topic today. I receive so many requests to speak more to internalized colonialism/oppression/racism. It is not the most comfortable discussion, but that is what we are here for, right? Remembering that we cannot heal what we are not willing to face, let's dive into how the idealogy of whte supremacy gets internalized by all of us, including those of us who are "BIPOC" (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour). I am sharing how I personally perpetuated whte supremacy and offering all of you grace, compassion and the reminder that we are all at different parts in our journey.

By popular demand, I'm sharing some common coaching phrases and words that we really need to avoid, rethink and reconsider in order to decolonize our practises. If we truly want to foster inclusive environments that are supportive for ALL, we need to recognize the power of language! Here are some popular coaching/law of attraction/personal development phrases that I've now realized caused harm, and uphold white supremacy. If we're not careful, our words can gaslight folks and actually disempower instead of empower... and I know that's not your vibe!

How do we bridge the gaps between "BBIWOC" (Black, Indigenous, Women of Colour) and white women? Can friends talk about race? Authors of "Real Friends Talk About Race" and hosts of The Kinswomen podcast, Yseult P. Mukantabana and Hannah Summerhill join us today for an incredible, thought-provoking and heart-opening conversation. I always learn so much from both Yseult and Hannah and know that you will as well. Yseult called me out mid-episode with a language shift from praising white women for their "bravery" to calling it what it actually is - accountability.

BONUS EPISODE 3: What I look for in a coach, as an Indigenous woman. These are the things I would now look for in a coach or mentor, especially if I were considering working with a white woman (but with anyone really, because you don't have to be white to uphold white supremacy). This is such an in-depth and honest conversation that I am having with you as if I were talking to a bestie in confidence. Why am I sharing it publicly? Because I feel all coaches, leaders and entrepreneurs need to know and we ALL benefit when you know these things!

BONUS EPISODE 2: Overcome Fear of Cancel & Call Out Culture. Do you want to be a more active, vocal ally for people of the global majority, but fear "getting it wrong"? Do you want to share what your values are, but get afraid of being called "performative"? Or being told that you are virtue signalling? Today I'm breaking down for you how to overcome that fear and take steps that will ensure you are sharing your values in a way that feels good, does good, and magnetizes the right people into your world. You will learn how to avoid getting "cancelled" and eliminate any fear of that. Plus, is cancellation even real? Let's unpack. This episode is another BONUS EPISODE in celebration of The Round Table coming back this March, and The Decolonized Coach course launching this April!

Buckle up, beautiful souls! This episode is an extremely raw and honest conversation with Lauren Eliz Love on lessons in cultural appropriation versus appreciation. It was hands down the toughest interview I've ever hosted. As a white woman who has been called to plant medicine, Indigenous and Shamanic healing, Lauren has had some big lessons to learn and she's here to share them with us all. Lauren approached me, an Indigenous woman, to have this very courageous conversation and we know it'll be medicine for all who listen. She told me not to hold back or sensor my questions, and I certainly did not. We can't wait to hear your thoughts, so please tag us on Instagram @laurenoflove and @emilyannebrant once you listen!  Be sure to also listen to my episode on Lauren's podcast - Decolonizing the Coaching Industry and Healing Indigenous Wounds .

If you're in the personal development/manifestation/spiritual world, you've probably heard about the importance of IDENTITY. Yet, what you've likely NOT heard is conversations like this that address things like race, internalized oppression, assimilation, racism, being mixed race, and so many other nuances that need to be discussed in order to be healed! Identity IS everything when it comes to manifesting, but the one size fits all "just see yourself as a wealthy person" or "don't identify as a victim" approach doesn't work for so many of us. In this episode I am discussing my personal journey with "buying into" (literally) this way of thinking and operating, even perpetuating and upholding these harmful narratives that gaslight myself and other global majority ("BIPOC") folx. I unpack my experiences with racism and identity struggle that there wasn't space to explore in most of the programs I was in, and that I ignored for years until it caught up with me! We cannot manifest easily and in total alignment without bringing ALL OF OURSELVES to the table. If this resonated with you, inspired you, or got you thinking in a new way, please take a screenshot tag me @emilyannebrant on Instagram or @emilyannebrant on TikTok so I can personally thank you, and reshare!    To apply for Emboldened You February 2023, click here  or visit www.emilyannebrant.com/emboldenedyou Download your free decolonization guide at: www.emilyannebrant.com/decolonize Purchase The Round Table masterclass here.

Last year I joined a business mastermind and met some amazing people. One of them was Rave Reid, who is half Filipina and half white, and resonated with a lot of what I started sharing about 1) being mixed ancestry and 2) navigating the predominantly white coaching industry. Our experience even with money and money mindset can be a whole other ball game from what is often talked about in the mainstream coaching community. We decided to hop on a call and record a conversation for you that you'll get so much out of, ESPECIALLY IF you are white, as I shared many ways that you can make your spaces safer and more supportive for us all. Rave asked me a lot of really great questions, and was willing to get a bit uncomfortable at times to do so. This is what true leadership looks like! Once you listen, please tag Rave @rave_reid and @emilyannebrant in an Instagram story so we can thank you for tuning in! Be sure to connect with Rave and follow all of her amazing offers!  To begin decolonizing your coaching business, watch The Round Table (a virtual event I hosted for white coaches) recording, sold here. 

One of my all time favourite conversations, I had to share this replay with you! My friend Ashley-Ann who I met at a women's networking brunch here in Toronto asked me to come on her new talk show Beyond The Surface Talks. Ashley-Ann is a white woman who courageously and gratefully agreed to have me on to talk about decolonizing the coaching industry and how WE (including myself because I'm half white and white passing) need to do better. I shared my story and how I struggled to feel seen, held and supported once I began to embrace my Indigenous roots and all the beauty but also the pain that comes along with that. I am sharing with you all what led me into this work and how YOU can do your part in decolonizing (actively dismantling white supremacy) your own business. This is a POWERFUL conversation that we're thrilled for you to hear and please share.  If you prefer video, you can catch this replay on @beyondthesurfacetalks Instagram. If you share this episode, please tag me @emilyannebrant so I can personally thank you, and reshare!  To begin decolonizing your coaching business, watch The Round Table (a virtual event I hosted for white coaches) recording, sold here.
