What if growth isn't about pushing harder, but about letting go more skillfully? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with coach and author Suzy Ashworth for a grounded, activating conversation about identity shifts, pivots, and what it actually takes to receive more in life and business. Together, they explore why true transformation doesn't come from strategy alone, but from who you're willing to become in your body, your nervous system, and your sense of self. Suzy shares how the most powerful pivots in her life and work didn't come from forcing outcomes, but from releasing attachment to timelines, outcomes, and the need to prove. They unpack the difference between desire and striving, why pleasure and joy create magnetism, and how detachment becomes a superpower when it comes to manifestation and receiving. This conversation reframes success as an internal orientation first, and an external result second. This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of a change, sensing that the next level requires less effort and more trust, and learning how to open themselves to receive what's already available. KEY MOMENTS: 00:00:00 — Identity as the starting point of transformation 00:03:15 — Setting the energetic field: invocation, coherence, intention 00:07:00 — Why the pivot matters more than the plan 00:11:20 — Joy and pleasure as stabilizers for growth 00:18:10 — Choosing who you become when life forces a reckoning 00:24:30 — Resilience, failure, and expanding emotional capacity 00:27:00 — Detachment as a manifestation superpower 00:31:00 — Faith plus action: alignment without exhaustion 00:34:00 — Identity before income and external results 00:46:00 — Integration: when the work becomes how you live About Suzy Ashworth Suzy Ashworth is a coach, speaker, and bestselling author of Infinite Receiving. She is the founder of the Quantum Leap Your Life & Business certification and works with leaders and entrepreneurs who are ready to shift identity, expand capacity, and build success that is both profitable and sustainable. Suzy's work focuses on embodiment, nervous system alignment, and redefining success as something that is lived, not chased. Learn more about Suzy and explore her work:https://suzyashworth.com Follow Suzy on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/suzy_ashworth For Those Ready to Hold More The themes in this episode, alignment, capacity, faith plus action, and leadership without burnout, are exactly what Level 3 is designed to support. It's where the work stops being something you do in moments of stress and becomes the way you lead, decide, and steward what you're responsible for. By working at the level of the nervous system, state of consciousness, and capacity to hold more, Level 3 supports the kind of embodied leadership Suzy speaks to in this episode, abundance that lasts without exhaustion.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Tara Hunter, internationally renowned business and mindset coach, bestselling author, and host of the Thrive in Life and Business podcast, for one of the most vulnerable and powerful conversations we've ever had on the show.

As social media seems to descend into a dystopia of tech overlords dominating algorithms, our attention, and our self-esteem, it's worth asking: should we really stay on these platforms... and why???KP Pilley — the social strategist behind the popular "Nine Grid" offer — joins me to talk about taking your power back on social media, building ethical content worlds, and making it stupid-easy for people to hire you without posting 30 Reels a month.Themes from the episode:The Nine Grid: Your Digital Bulletin Board (Not Your Full-Time Job: Instagram's become this weird proof-of-existence thing, but the nine grid lets you treat your profile like a coffee shop bulletin board — nine strategic posts, then peace TF out. You don't need to live there 24/7 to run a successful business.Instagram's Chokehold on Our Worthiness: Let's be honest, Meta is making money off our insecurities. KP and I discuss how to use the platform on your terms and drive people to owned media where Zuck can't deplatform you for posting a caption with the word "sex" in it.Pain Point Marketing Is Dead: That girl boss panic-inducing marketing where you scare people into buying? It attracts nightmare clients who feel buyer's remorse the next morning. Real marketing talks to someone's most regulated self, not their freaked-out swipe-my-credit-card-at-midnight self.Your Editorial Stance Beats Any Algorithm: When you have a clear worldview, content becomes easier because you're not trying to rage-bait —you're just showing up as yourself.Relationship Marketing Isn't Transactional (And That's the Point): Orbit jumping and showing up in people's worlds doesn't always result in immediate sales, and that's okay — sometimes you're just planting seeds or having a good conversation.If you're ready to ditch performative posting and build a presence rooted in your values (not Adam Mosseri's latest metric), connect with KP for more resources — and maybe even a social media presence that finally feels like you.Connect with KP:WebsiteInstagramContent Constellation Waitlist (aka the Supernova is a thinking lab for visionaries building frameworks that transcend algorithms.

Only 3% of venture capital funding goes to women-owned businesses. But here's the thing—it's not because your idea isn't good enough. It's because of foundational mistakes you're making before you even apply. Business strategist Ms. Cat (Catherine Mitchell) joins Sarah to break down exactly what keeps women entrepreneurs from accessing the billions in funding that's actually available. From choosing the wrong business name to using your personal Gmail account, these structural errors are disqualifying you before funders even look at your pitch. Ms. Cat walks through the NAICS code trap, why your LLC address matters more than you think, and the exact moment you should start looking for funding. Plus, she gets real about the burning desire you need to make the leap from side hustle to main hustle—and why entrepreneurship isn't for everyone. This conversation is part of Sarah's mission to put more money in the hands of more women.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN The 5 foundational mistakes that disqualify businesses from funding—including why certain business names are considered "high risk" and how your NAICS code can knock you out of the game When to actually start looking for venture capital funding (and the capital gap test to know if you're ready) Why using your home address on your LLC is a red flag to investors—and what funders are really looking for when they Google your business The 3-4x rule for knowing when your side hustle is ready to become your main hustle Why funding challenges have nothing to do with your product or service—it's all about foundation and structure How women disqualify themselves before they even ask for funding (and how proper structure gives you the confidence to apply) The burning desire you need beyond just a good idea to survive entrepreneurship   READY TO BUILD A BUSINESS FOUNDATION THAT POSITIONS YOU FOR GROWTH?

How to overcome Decision Paralysis - assessing risk, limiting over analysis, and taking action are essential to moving a business forward. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/r423-overcoming-decision-paralysis/ Decision paralysis keeps entrepreneurs stuck, and learning how to assess risk, limit over analysis, and take action is essential to moving a business forward. Decision paralysis, often called analysis paralysis, can quietly stall a small business or prevent an entrepreneur from ever getting started. In this episode, Henry Lopez and guest co-host David Begin unpack why decision paralysis happens, how it shows up differently in big strategic decisions versus daily operational choices, and why small business owners are especially vulnerable to it. Drawing from real-world experience, Henry and David explain how fear, risk miscalculation, perfectionism, and decision fatigue all contribute to inaction. They explore the difference between intuition and expertise, referencing Malcolm Gladwell's book Blink, and discuss why relying solely on "gut instinct" can be dangerous for new entrepreneurs but powerful for experienced operators. The conversation also covers practical strategies to break through paralysis, including risk mitigation, breaking big decisions into smaller ones, setting go/no-go dates, and using a "pretend decision" technique to reduce pressure and clarify direction. They emphasize the importance of self-awareness, leadership responsibility, and building teams that can make decisions independently. As Henry puts it, "There are no guarantees in business, but there is a cost to not deciding." This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hesitant to make the next move in their business. This episode is hosted by Henry Lopez. The How of Business podcast focuses on helping you start, run, grow and exit your small business. The How of Business is a top-rated podcast for small business owners and entrepreneurs.

One of the most common mistakes I see speakers make is trying to deliver a six-week course or a full-length book in a 45-minute talk.And then they wonder why: • the audience looks overwhelmed • the energy drops • no one remembers their message • leads don't convertHere's the mindset shift that changes everything: Same message. Different medium. Different strategy.When your message doesn't match the format, your talk can feel confusing, overwhelming, and forgettable — no matter how good your content is. But when your message fits the medium, your impact multiplies.In this episode, I share:The reasons you want to cram more content into your presentationsHow each format — lead generation presentation, keynote, workshop, course, coaching, and book — plays a distinct roleWhy books are uniquely powerful for depth, nuance, and authority (and how this ties into my upcoming author interviews)How to escape the expert trap and step into thought leadershipIf you're building talks, presentations, workshops, courses, or a book, this episode will completely change how you think about your content ecosystem.Ready to build a signature talk that gets you the results you want?
