Dr. Hillary Cauthen, Millennial, is a clinical sport psychologist based in Austin TX. Hillary was a division 1 college track athlete, before embarking on a career focusing on the mental health and mental performance dimensions of high performers. Dr. Cauthen is the Founder of Texas Optimal Performance & Psychological Services. Her private practice has steadily grown over the past decade and now includes a dedicated team of six providers delivering comprehensive care to athletes, parents, coaches, and sports organizations throughout the greater Austin, TX area. Dr. Cauthen formerly served as the Director of Organizational Wellness & Performance for Austin FC and the performance psychologist for the San Antonio Spurs, where she developed their mental performance and wellness programs. Her work with high performance is breaking down stigma across communities which is highlighted in her book, "Hello Trauma, Our Invisible Teammate” and continued in her weekly podcast titled Highs & Lows of X's & O'sHere are the topics we covered:0:00 Introduction2:27 Trauma Statistics3:50 Trauma Defined4:55 Empathy vs Sympathy7:21 The Three Trauma Reactions10:51 Shame12:57 Embarrassment15:50 Anger and Recovery18:21 Gaslighting and Fear20:44 Changing the Viewpoint22:27 Resolving Trauma25:00 Healing28:08 20 Something SelfMemorable Quotes“70% of Americans have reported experiencing trauma.”“Trauma is any physiological response that exists to you“Sympathy is saying “I'm sorry” (unintentional pity); Empathy is an emotional connection.”“Fear is a silencer of people's voices.”“Anyone living in the timeframe of 2020-2022ish experienced trauma: COVID. The level of experience  and how it impacted us is different.”“Healing is like learning to walk again,..healing is living…it's taking tender, honest, active care of our wounds. Healing is forgiving and accepting ourselves without judgment, shame or anger. Healing is getting our voices back so we can speak and listen. But it's also caring for ourselves out loud publicly and for all to see and hear.” (Excerpt for Hillary's book)Here are the 3 Takeaways:When we experience trauma there are 3 places we can go to and be: the minimizer (dismiss the impact), the enabler (“It must be my fault”), and the moral authority (something really bad did happen). We will go back and forth between these during our healing phase. Until the moral authority kicks in the we really can't recover. Shame is not guilt and is an assessment of our character traits. It can create relentless negative self talk and striving for perfectionism. We don't want to fail because it creates more shame. Before shame, embarrassment, which is a socially prescribed morals and norms, can often come. It's the fear of the judgement of others that can lead to the feeling of embarrassment.  Anger goes to action. It is the most powerful emotion to move differently. What we're not doing yet is having the emotional vocabulary for trauma and sitting with people's emotions. We can all experience trauma and have it impact us but it's what we do through the next phases, and the meaning we make of it, is how we get back to living healthy. Healing will eventually happen.

Kate Flynn, Millennial, is The Crisis Coach with a PhD in Developmental Psychology. After navigating her own life-altering crisis, Kate combined her academic expertise, entrepreneurial success, and personal resilience to create a unique coaching practice. She specializes in helping high-achieving leaders turn their most challenging moments into opportunities for growth and transformation. Topics Covered:     Post Traumatic Growth        Defining Crisis and Trauma·         The Body Keeps the Score    Trauma statistics & symptoms        EMDR benefits     IFS (Internal Family System)      Healing & different options   3 Episode Takeaways 1. Post Traumatic Growth is an individual's ability to grow and transform following major struggles but continue to grow and transform – “what doesn't kill you can make you stronger” with a properly set table. Resilience is one's ability to bounce back to baseline after something challenging happens. 2. Crisis is the external experience and there are two types: with a “C” easily identifiable and requires immediate action, and those with a “c” that are slow burning, less identifiable, and can sometimes trigger bigger feelings. Trauma is our internal experience and lives in our bodies - they can cause crisis situations or over-react to situations. Crisis and trauma can be intertwined. 3. Based on the statistics from the book The Body Keeps The Score there are many of us walking around with unresolved trauma and may not know it. EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is one powerful way to “unearth” what's going on in our bodies to help identify the triggers to unearth traumas to work through the experiences to get closure.

[There was] something that really resonated with me there.” [0:05:42]“Surrounding yourself with people who bring you joy and make you a better person tends to serve you well in life.” [0:13:38]“That vision of – being a businesswoman, I don't even know what it meant. It was way too broad for me to understand, but that's what I wanted to be. It wasn't a teacher, it wasn't a doctor – I wanted to be in the business world.” [0:15:51]“I've learned as an entrepreneur to embrace failure, but it didn't come until later in my entrepreneurial journey. I was not okay with failure for many, many years of my life.” [0:22:32]“My whole journey as a consultant – was learning to get over perfectionism. It was learning to be okay with not being right all the time and be okay with failure. That was the first time I had to go through all those lessons, which ended up serving me well.” [0:25:05]“[Transitioning to compostable packaging] is way harder than it sounds because of all the supply-chain differences between compostable and plastic.” [0:33:54]“This is about a movement away from plastic, not just building a [snack] brand.” [0:36:10]“We have two types of customers; one who is committed to zero-waste, they discover us because they're trying to go plastic-free, and the other – who is just trying to make small steps in the right direction.” [0:47:00]“The ideal state is no packaging – Ideally, you're buying everything from your farmer's market or [you have] a reusable bag and you're going to your bulk store – The compostable solution is an interim solution to make it easier for people to make a step in the right direction if they can't do the ideal state.” [0:48:58]“It's not about the end. It's about the journey. Sometimes, the journey is way longer than you think. It's usually very different than you think it's going to be – If all you can focus on is the end goal – it's not going to be a very fun journey.” [0:58:06]

While working long hours as a consultant, Kate Flynn realized how very few convenient and healthy food choices existed. Having worked in the consumed packaged goods space, she saw there was a gap in the market, and in a true This or Something Better moment, she decided to do something about it.    The result was Sun & Swell Foods.  Founded by Kate and her husband, Sun & Swell is the first food company in the US that offers a wide variety of healthy foods in 100% compostable, plastic-free packaging.    Kate believes that as a company, it is not only its responsibility to create healthier, more convenient food choices, but also to be a business that takes action to be better for people and the planet. As a Certified B Corporation, they pay attention to all aspects of their business from ingredient sourcing, and employment practices to environmental sustainability.   Kate is a passionate entrepreneur with a mission to be better and do better in all aspects of her business and life.  About Kate Kate Flynn, CEO & Co-Founder of Sun & Swell, has an MBA from Harvard, a BA from UC Santa Barbara, and a background in management consulting. She lives in Santa Barbara, CA with her husband and co-founder, Bryan, and her two children.    Several years ago, she set out to build a new kind of packaged food company – one that is better for both people and the planet. Sun & Swell uses only healthy, organic, whole foods that are free from harmful ingredients and chemical additives, and is a pioneer in the packaged food industry when it comes to using compostable packaging.   Kate has met her fair share of challenges along the road to transitioning her company to fully compostable packaging but remains focused on her goal of disrupting the food industry and pioneering a circular food system.   Connect with Kate LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-flynn-15187726/ Website: www.sunandswellfoods.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunandswellfoods/   For 25% off your first order with Sun & Swell foods, use the promo code somethingbetter25 https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1645641&u=3161256&m=102464&urllink=&afftrack=   Support the Show Thanks so much for listening.

“Meeting the needs of the consumer and meeting the needs of the environment sometimes is tricky.” – Kate Flynn This week on the Gooder Podcast, I had the pleasure of talking with Kate Flynn, the founder and CEO of Sun & Swell Foods. We discuss the history of Sun & Swell Foods – one of the first food and snacking brands leading the way in the use of composable packaging. We also learn about the evolvement of sustainable packaging and Kate’s leadership in driving this hot topic. Along the way, we learn the amazing journey of a passionate leader in creating a more inclusive, accessible and affordable real food products for all consumers. Fast becoming the leader and go to source for  In this episode we learn: About the history and inspiration of Sun & Swell Foods. Sun & Swell’s brand transition from a traditional CPG brand to a direct-to-consumer brand. Kate’s journey from being a consultant in a firm focused on retail and consumer products to having a CPG brand herself. The evolvement of compostable packaging technology.  How to create accessibility, affordability for mainstream consumers in the healthy food category. The advice she finds herself consistently giving entrepreneurs who have family members or loved ones as their business partners. About Kate Flynn: In 2017, Kate Flynn, and her husband and co-founder, Bryan Flynn, launched their natural food company, Sun & Swell Foods. Their mission is to make healthy and sustainable eating more accessible with their collection of sustainably-packaged, organic, plant-based pantry staples and snacks. Sun & Swell is the first food company in the US to offer a wide array of healthy foods in compostable, plastic-free packaging. With a background in business economics and nutrition and a penchant for creating her own healthy snacks, Kate brings a unique set of skills to Sun & Swell Foods.  Early on, she pursued her academic career at UC Santa Barbara and graduated with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Harvard Business School. Kate’s professional career included a consulting role as a brand strategist in the retail and consumer products space, where she focused on brand and growth strategy for various leading CPG brands. After spending nearly ten years in the consumer products world, she was looking to do something more purposeful and fulfilling that would positively impact the world. In 2017, Kate took a leap of faith to follow her real passion for health and wellness to start Sun & Swell Foods with Bryan.  Leading up to this, Kate had switched to a more natural lifestyle, including eating only ‘whole foods.’ She realized that eating a whole food diet made her feel better, both physically and mentally, and realized that she wanted to keep eating this way. However, when she looked around for packaged foods to accommodate this new way of eating, she realized there were no options available. Most packaged foods are made with artificial ingredients and loaded with added sugars, preservatives, and flavors. This realization sparked an idea, and Sun & Swell Foods was born. When sourcing ingredients, Kate and her team buy organic ingredients as close to the source and farm as possible, seeking out small family farms. Sun & Swell is a Certified B-Corporation and a member of 1% for the Planet, donating 1% of the revenue to environmental non-profits addressing two areas the founders are deeply passionate about: regenerative farming and ocean health.  When not running the company’s day-to-day, Kate loves frequenting Santa Barbara’s local farmers’ markets and beaches and spending time with her husband and newborn daughter, Leila. Kate is also a Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert.

I'm sitting down with Kate Flynn, a dear friend of mine and the co-founder and CEO of Sun & Swell Foods. Kate has an interesting story not typical of most CEOs of delicious, organic food companies like hers. She kicked off her career in auditing and consulting before hitting burnout and dropping everything to become a bootstrapped entrepreneur in the retail and wellness world. Kate gets super candid in this interview, and we cover everything from pivoting career paths,  to imposter syndrome and doing what you love. Did you enjoy today's episode?

October 13, 2020 After changing her diet resulted in solving her asthma, Kate Flynn quit her job and founded the healthy snack company Sun and Swell Foods. Kate tells her story about the move to entrepreneurship from a traditionally conservative career in the risk adverse and lucrative industry of management consulting. The past few years had seen big wins for Sun and Swell with new partnerships in food service and on big business tech campuses, both of which were hit hard (read: nearly eliminated). Kate shares the adjustments her company is making, including a move into selling their primary ingredients to consumers, along with other pivots designed to outlast the pandemic. Guest Unsponsor: Roho Goods.

In Edible-Alpha® podcast #68, Tera talks with Kate Flynn, cofounder and CEO of Sun & Swell Foods, a Certified B Corporation based in Santa Barbara, California that offers organic whole food grab-and-go snacks and pantry staples. They discuss the challenges and benefits of being a mission-based brand, self-manufacturing and shifting strategies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kate and her husband, Bryan, started Sun & Swell in 2017 to fill an unmet need for simple, nutritious grab-and-go snacks made with organic real-food ingredients. Just two years earlier, Kate had overhauled her diet, started eating clean and began feeling better than ever because of it. Frustrated by the lack of suitable snack foods on the market, she and Bryan took to creating their own and sharing them with friends, eventually landing wholesale accounts. Though Kate was initially dead set against continuing to self-manufacture, they struggled to find a fitting co-packer for their precise specs and small volume, so they continued handcrafting their products in rented commercial kitchen spaces. Though Kate felt great about providing consumers with healthy snacks, she was never quite comfortable with Sun & Swell's contribution to the single-use plastics problem. A few years into the business, she learned that compostable packaging technology was available but little used, so the brand took a leap and transitioned to the eco-friendlier solution. They discovered that some of the challenges presented by compostable packaging made it hard to move product through traditional food distribution channels, but rather than abandon it altogether, they opted to limit sales to select channels of distribution, such as e-commerce and corporate offices. Even though this choice has complicated operations, Kate firmly believes that compostable packaging's ecological advantages make it worth the hassle—and she acknowledges that self-manufacturing has enabled Sun & Swell, which now has its own facility, to go this route. Self-manufacturing has also proved fortuitous as the coronavirus pandemic has played out. When half of Sun & Swell's wholesale business froze in March, the company was able to pivot more easily. Along with ramping up their existing e-commerce business, they revamped their product portfolio to deliver all of their snacks in pantry-size bags. They also begin selling their ingredients in bulk as a new product line of ‘pantry staples'. Thrilled with the success of the bulk business and the fact that it allows them to carry out their mission in a bigger way, Sun & Swell is now adding ingredients beyond those used in their snacks, sourcing directly from family farms. Although Kate wasn't keen on continuing to self-manufacture in the beginning, she is grateful for the opportunities it affords Sun & Swell, especially in surviving the pandemic and setting themselves up to thrive in the future. Because as she and Tera discussed, nobody knows what the world will look like once the virus threat lessens or how this experience will change consumer shopping patterns long-term.

Kate Flynn, the founder of Sun & Swell Foods did not want to start her own business preferring the sense of security at her day job. But a new’s years resolution led Kate to reconsider her eating habits and find healthier ways. She began the Whole30 and it changed her life. One day, she decided to take a big leap, move to her dream city of Santa Barbara and launch the business she’d been thinking of, a healthy snack food company inspired by the lack of snacks available on the Whole30, Sun & Swell. Kate talks about the unique way she has discovered to get her snacks where people feel like snacking, what it’s like being in business with you family and shares how her business develops as she is developing.

Kate Flynn is the founder and CEO of Sun and Swell Foods, a healthy snack food company based in Santa Barbara, California.

Her mission is to create on-the-go snack foods that are made with only the highest quality, whole food ingredients, so people don’t have to compromise their health when eating on-the-go. Business Building InsightsBelieve in yourself. You’re the one responsible for your success. Hold yourself accountable to the goals and promises you make to yourself. If something doesn’t work, look for another way to achieve the same result. Positive feedback keeps us going. Your product is not for everybody. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad product. It just means it’s not for them. It’s surprising what can happen when you say “yes” to things. Take a moment, pause, and celebrate your progress.

In this episode of The TruthSeekah Podcast TruthSeekah speaks with Dr.Kate Flynn about some of the ideas brought forth in her book activating ascension. We discuss some of her ideas on number activation sequences and third eye clearing. Many of the ideas brought forth in her book Activating Ascension (The Ultimate Guide for Navigating a New Life) are designed to help the practitioner tap into their higher self and thin the veil between their reality and eternity. In these higher states of consciousness we are able to receive vision about our life's goal and access the things that we desire to bring forth. There are also meditations and tools in the book that make it more interactive and you can actually track your progress as you work through the texts and practices. In the interview Dr.Kate Flynn speaks about releasing trauma and negative attachments and beliefs that are no longer serving us. Many people are still living their life dealing with trauma from something that happened to them as a child even now into their adult lives. This trauma and negativity can affect our relationships with family, friends and even our careers. Activating Ascension gives practical and spiritual ways for us to cut the ties with the mistakes and memories of the past that many of us relive daily.
