Listen in as Jeffrey and Emma talk about wound driven operating systems (and purpose driven operating systems) and how to find the ‘one square inch of the market that you can drill a mile deep’.  You don’t want to miss this!

In this episode of Cleared for Profit, Emma talks with Jerome Braggs, a gifted intuitive, spiritual teacher, speaker, and modern day medicine man. Jerome's definition of trauma focuses less on the specific painful event, and more on the soul's experience of disconnecting from the truth of ourselves, and then holding onto, manifesting from, that disconnect. We, as spiritual entrepreneurs, are called to reconnect to the truth of ourselves. For example, if our trauma means that we don't feel 'enough', then we are constantly trying to be better instead of showing up as our full selves. And burning ourselves out. They talk about the ways the principle, "as within, so without" can play out in people's businesses and lives and the deep importance of getting honest with yourself.

In this episode of Cleared for Profit, Emma interviews Melissa Binkley, founder of The Intuitive Intelligence Academy and business coach for conscious entrepreneurs.

Melissa also shares an overview of Intuitive Intelligence and how she used the techniques she developed to bust through her income ceiling and triple her income every year since 2014.

In the first episode of Cleared for Profit, Emma talks about what led her to investigate the role trauma plays in the businesses led by conscious entrepreneurs and shares some of the ways that her own experiences of trauma have affected her mindset and business. “I am not enough” “If they see me they will hurt me” “Asking people to give me money is wrong or bad” “I can’t trust anyone” “People won’t like the real me” Do any of those sound familiar?  We will be exploring these and other trauma-messages during this podcast series with a list of amazing guests and unpacking a wholistic approach to healing your trauma to grow your business.

As women, we say we love money, but we don’t act like it. We refuse to receive any support in our life or business. In order to have more money, we must be able to receive more support, because money is support. A lot of us fempreneurs carry a belief that in order to make more money we have to hustle, drive, push and do to grow our businesses. This energy can be counterintuitive to receiving abundance and money. A lot of women genuinely believe we HAVE to handle everything - in our lives and businesses, and that if we don’t we will be see as less-than, or incapable or incompetent. As we are learning to receive we must step up and ask for what we want, because us having money won’t stop another from having what they need. There is a spiritual fallacy that being poor is more spiritual. The truth is we can do more for the world with more resources. If you don’t have money you will not have the resources you need in order to do the big work you’re called to do in the world. In this episode we explore taking your power back through the platform of businesses and money. We suggest it is disempowered to be selfless, to not focus on money, and to not allow yourself to truly fulfill your purpose in the world. Part of receiving is being in your power. As women we are raised to believe that being powerful is about doing all things and not accepting support. Emma and Julie suggest instead that it is more powerful to allow. We explored how to allow more money in our businesses. We often come from a judgmental place with money. I need $10,000 now and it has to come in this specific way! We try to really control what happens with money, rather than allow it to come to us the way it desires. There is power in leaving the door open so money work can work its magic. If we try and control money, we keep ourselves from experiencing possibilities. We must release attachment to how money will come to us. There is a spiritual practice to receiving money, being non-judgmental, and allowing money to bring its genius into our business. This is a practice of trusting in the Abundance of the Universe, and staying in the present with money.
