In this episode, we’re delighted to be interviewing the phenomenal Martha Beck. For those of you who do not know Dr. Martha Beck, she is a New York Times bestselling author, a speaker, and a life coach, with an infectious humor. She holds three Harvard degrees in social science, and Oprah Winfrey once called her the smartest woman she knows.Martha is passionate and engaging, and she is well known for her unique combination of science, humor, and spirituality.Having a son with Downs syndrome caused Martha to really consider what human life was about and set her off on “a lifetime adventure of breaking the rules”.To quote Martha Beck “Emmerson said Beauty is its own excuse for being, and I decided that joy is the felt equivalent and the only real reason to be here”.In her new book, “The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self,” Martha explains why integrity, or being in harmony with ourselves is the key to a meaningful and joyful life, which is what we discuss in today’s episode.Martha perfectly helped us understand integrity beyond a virtue to strive for: “the word Integrity comes from the Latin integer, which means whole or intact, undivided”. We need integrity to function as a whole being. In the same way that an airplane needs to be in structural integrity to fly, we need to be true to ourselves in all situations and with all people to be wholly intact, to be in integrity.Possibly our favorite part is when Martha life coaches Jeni on navigating climate change activism, so make sure to listen out for that!We also talk about how social pressure can be a benevolent problem for entrepreneurs – “it’s forcing us to find ourselves”. We delve into what we can learn about mentorship from the hero’s saga, and how committing to your integrity can be a force for social change. Finally, the vital importance of self-care, which Martha sees as radical action.This is a remarkable interview with a world-renowned sociologist about what you need to do to find your integrity and, with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering, so make sure not to miss this episode!Here’s a peek at what else we discuss: An introduction to Martha Beck, from her formal education to her pursuit of joy. Learn about integrity, which Martha describes as a feeling of being whole or intact. Hear what Martha has to say about overcoming self-doubt, finding your truth, and then walking your talk. The idea of being at odds with culture for the sake of individuality rather than conformity. The different social pressures that men and women experience and how they affect us. Find out how entrepreneurs are affected by conflicting value systems and social pressure. What the hero’s saga has to teach us about change and receiving a mentor. How Martha found her way through conflict when she was pregnant with her son, Adam. Whether or not integrity coincides with happiness; turning suffering into joy. How going into your integrity relates to social activism; activating positive, not righteous anger. Martha emphasizes the idea that self-care in and of itself is radical action. Why self-help should not be about ‘fixing’ yourself but rather about letting the mess that culture has made of your mind fall away.

And she has noticed that “people who just go with their fascination end up creating things that sell well.” According to Martha, “When you are doing something you love in a place you love with the people you love in a way you love, love sells better than hate. So do whatever pulls on you, do it. See what happens.”Know Your NumbersIn our business, we're big fans of financial literacy and accountability.

On today’s episode, we get together with Veneé McGee to talk about her non-profit, Ebb and Flow Collective, a safe social wellness community whose mission focuses on inclusivity and accessibility for women and non-binary folks searching for spiritual empowerment.Veneé is a true visionary thought leader in the areas of spirituality, holistic wellness, and mindset. Veneé shares her difficult upbringing in the foster care system, and how being introduced to ‘The Secret’ by Rhonda Byrne gave her a sense of empowerment and agency over her life and decisions that she had never felt before. We discuss how she grew Ebb and Flow from the ground up, starting with wellness retreats, after identifying a need for more inclusive wellness spaces based on her own experiences of being excluded. Veneé explains how they became a non-profit during the COVID-19 pandemic and how the move was successfully facilitated by ifundwomen. We also dive into how her company is structured; from workshops, meditations, and personal sessions to a thriving, curated marketplace of various practitioners, all to help her clients find and embrace their individual power from within. We are exceptionally excited about what Veneé has created with Ebb and Flow Collective. We hope you’ll join us for an expansive conversation on the joy of diversity and the power of community!Here’s a peek at what else we discuss: An introduction to Veneé McGee, founder of the non-profit Ebb and Flow Collective. Veneé describes Ebb and Flow’s mission as a sacred and inclusive community that is accessible to all! Veneé shares the painful challenges of growing up in the foster care system. The story of Veneé losing her mom and becoming a seeking spirit. Veneé talks about her Christian upbringing and the revelatory experience of being introduced to The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. How Veneé started her spiritual journey and the spaces and teachers she found along the way. Why Veneé felt a need for a more inclusive and welcoming space for people like herself. How Veneé grew a new community organically through wellness retreats. How Ebb and Flow serves as a curated marketplace to find trusted practitioners who also remain autonomous. How Veneé utilizes meditation to keep her grounded during the curation process. The importance of having more diverse tarot readers due to the interpretive nature of the job. Veneé talks about the structure of Ebb and Flow, how it was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the transition to a non-profit organization. How becoming a non-profit affected their business structure and how ifundwomen was successfully able to assist in facilitating that transition. Veneé shares how their memberships work and what is included when you sign up. The biggest hurdles that Veneé currently faces as an entrepreneur. Veneé shares what is giving her joy and helping her hustle!

She thinks we really take choice for granted and believes she has been given choice. Whether it’s to fight for a black lives matter issue or not, she gets to have a choice on where she can get to spend her energy, which is super empowering to her. And this brings her joy because she has been on the other side of not knowing that she had a choice. This week’s Hustle: A hustle or tool that Veneé would like to share with everyone who’s listening is to get a mentor. She believes mentorship is so important, especially when you’re either just starting off or when you’re fixing your business. A mentor, hands down, is so powerful. Veneé has several mentors who give her advice on so many different things which is so helpful. Having mentors has been especially helpful during the times when she wanted to walk away and give up on Ebb and Flow. Because there were those times that, as much as she loves it, she is just human. She was able to call that mentor and share thoughts and things and not feel judged, and feel safe to share that with another human who can just listen and hold that pain for her and ask her what's next and keep her on that path. A good mentor is not just going to let you give up and walk away.Know Your NumbersIn our business, we're big fans of financial literacy and accountability.

Here are some of the big topics we talked about… Listen to anecdotes Jeni and Sandy share from being revolted by the “tech incubator” experience to they themselves being the two support people on their software platform (decidedly not having bots answer questions) to their closeness as best friends, mothers, and full-time leaders who work remotely from home How they weave soulfulness, artisanship, and feminist philosophy into all they do Even a year before they officially started working together, Jeni and Sandy had congruent inner voice intuitions yet didn’t discover that until later! The gratitude between these to women is clear - their working relationship is incredibly important to both of their lives and it’s a gift that they share with us how it works Importance of not participating in the harsh masculine language of online business (like ‘crushing it,’ ‘dominating,’ etc) and consciously living by a code of conduct that resonates with you, even if it’s not the absurdly growth-driven “success” so sought after How wellness practitioners can shift the belief that spiritual practices like yoga or meditation shouldn’t be profitable businesses In Jeni’s and Sandy’s Voices “Digital artisanship is the idea of taking the standards and principles of this offline artisan world and bringing it into the internet.”“We met in a very masculine setting, we were in a course together with very few women in it. In this environment, it was about growth, profit, and speed. There was a real missing voice.”“We did a lot of work early on the kind of company we want to build, how we want our customers to experience our company, how we want to empower women to be able to create their own business, have more freedom and flexibility with their time, earn more money, spend more time with their family or in nature. We just weren’t seeing that out there in the very ‘masculine’ economy.”“Success is also watching our teachers on our platform succeed. They have a gift to bring to the world to teach; they use our platform to reach a greater geographical audience and make an online business because of our tool. Those ripple effects are extremely satisfying.”“I want to cultivate the innate talents of other people in order to build wealth that supports all of us.”“We have to be very careful of the words we use because that’s creating the world we live in.” Connect with Jeni and Sandy Website Soulful MBA Podcast Instagram Business Facebook page (Namastream) Podcast Facebook page (Soulful MBA)Jennifer Barcelos // LinkedIn Sandy Connery // LinkedIn The Digital Artisan: A Manifesto for Crafting a New World

We're also chatting about why there needs to be more women in entrepreneurship, how this can happen, and what the world would look like if women stepped in this role. Enjoy!

Sandy Connery and Jeni Barcelos met through a course that taught how to begin a software startup. Sandy had a successful brick and mortar business selling custom orthotics in Canada. She knew she was burned out and needed a change when she stopped caring about her work. She liked the idea of creating an online business so that she could stay at home and not have an inventory. Jennifer was a human rights lawyer who traveled to the scarier parts of the globe. They were brought together by a software startup course and have been meeting the male-dominated world of software head on ever since.

Unforgettable: Messaging | Leadership | Personal Brand | Visibility
In your messaging it’s one thing to take a stand for something. But a lot of times, how we show up doesn’t actually match the stand we took. Sometimes we don’t realize it. And sometimes we aren’t quite sure how to put it into practice because we don’t have role models for how that would look. My guests on today’s Unforgettable ep are actively being those role models, not just for having strong values, but for implementing those values in their business. Jennifer Barcelos and Sandy Connery, co-founders of the online education software Namastream (like a Teachable for the wellness industry) and co-hosts of the Soulful MBA podcast, are two seriously smart women - a Yale-educated lawyer with a grad degree in Environmental Science and a former owner of a million-dollar brick-and-mortar business & clinic. In this episode we explore how they put their values into practice while nurturing their loyal following -- including why they turned down venture capitalist money for their tech startup, the real reason they don’t offer free trials, and their new ‘Digital Artisanship’ manifesto. Listen in. Listen in and you’ll learn: What virtual biz owners can learn about building an ultra-enthusiastic, loyal community from craft breweries, jewelry designers, pastry shops, and leather workers How they find the words to use in their marketing that resonate with their customers (and their copywriting process that I nerded out on) Why they see their business and platform as promoting an underlying feminist message How to leverage the power of automated marketing without dehumanizing the sales process The way their unique voices create a balance between human scale and big picture thinking in their copy, their podcast, and running their business Deeper support from me: I privately coach & message for select clients to realign, define, & refine your messaging to reach your next level of impact.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Soulful MBA Podcast! Today’s episode is an introduction to the two of us and our vision for this project. Jennifer Barcelos and Sandy Connery are the co-founders of the Namastream Software platform and the Soulful MBA online course and community. Although we come from very different backgrounds, we found common ground as ambitious moms looking to break into an industry dominated by young men. This is the story of our meeting and our intuitively-driven decision to go into business together. About Jennifer: I believe that starting a technology company has been the single most empowering experience of my life and I want to use what I’ve learned to empower other entrepreneurs and small business owners to master their own technical prowess. I’m a recovering adrenaline junkie — formerly obsessed with both the thrill of danger and the ego boost of achievement. I’m a lawyer, a mama, an artist, a yogi… I have traveled to very dangerous places — both out in the world, but also deep within myself. I spent more than a decade of my life focused on addressing the global crisis of climate change, worked in strategic roles within multiple presidential campaigns, and somehow managed to get into the Ivy League after dropping out of high school. I believe that curiosity is the most important skill to cultivate and maintain and that lifelong learning is key to health and happiness. I believe that there is a lot of brokenness in the world and that building beautiful things, with our minds, our hands, and our words, is our responsibility and our gift. About Sandy: In 2013, I sold a traditional brick and mortar retail business and clinic after an amazing twenty year career. It was time to start something new. I didn’t know what that was going to be, but knew a change was overdue. I had no idea a software company was in my future. I took a blind leap of faith and never looked back. Creating a tech company from scratch has provided me with a new way of operating. A new way of living with freedom around when and how I work. And I love it. I revel in the unstructured-ness of my days each and every morning. I get giddy over the fact that I choose how I spend my hours. Entrepreneurship is about creativity. You are always creating (the good and the bad) and need to know how to tap into the flow of the Universe so those ideas are flowing effortlessly. It’s also about listening to your heart, finding clarity in silence, and taking an occasional leap of faith – just because it feels right. I now know that success arrives when you operate from a deep sense of purpose, integrity and a place of authenticity. These are non-negotiable traits. I don’t believe in balance, but instead work within my personal fits and starts. I take action when I am inspired and lay low when I’m not. I no longer force things.
