On this episode of Communicate for Good, Erica and her guest, Jen Hope, discuss the importance of self kindness and mental health and how self worth and self acceptance show up in personal and professional spaces. They also discuss an important element of self awareness, listening, and how that is the starting point of acknowledging what we're saying and how we're behaving and how that's impacting and affecting others. They also address three common core leadership habits that limit effective communication (controlling, protecting and complying) and the impact those can have on one's ability to lead and provide a healthy and productive space for team growth. Resources Referenced:Kristin Neff on Self-Compassion: https://self-compassion.org/the-three-elements-of-self-compassion-2/The Secret Life of Self Talk by Erica Barnhart: https://claxon-communication.com/podcast/ep-51-the-secret-life-of-self-talk/DISC Assessment: https://www.discprofile.com/what-is-disc360 Survey: https://www.profilesincorporated.com/assessment/checkpoint-360/ About Jen:Jen Hope is an executive and leadership coach for startup leaders.

Too many of us wind up in leadership positions by default - either because we had the most experience or because we started our own thing and needed to bring on support staff. But truly leading people goes a lot deeper than knowing all the steps and creating the perfect “to do” list. Join us for a fascinating breakdown of human behavior that'll have you embracing your newfound leadership skillz.   Can't-Miss Moments From This Episode:Wanna know the REAL secret sauce to becoming the kind of rockstar leader people willingly follow? Corny as it might sound, it all comes down to L-O-V-E. Jen breaks down how showing your staff (and yourself!) some love will take your team performance to a whole ‘nother level. Uncomfortable truth: sometimes being a leader means stepping out of the spotlight and letting your people shine. Here's why you DON'T actually need to be the “brilliant idea person” all the time (and why putting that pressure on yourself could actually hurt your business)… Ever had one of those days where you stayed in your jammies and worked from bed? Join the club, we have jackets! Jen reveals why turning it up to 11 all the time is counterproductive (woohoo! Finally a reason to embrace your low-energy days)! Tacos and TP: an unexpected turn in the convo turned into an amazing rant about flexible thinking, creative problem solving, and self-awareness. Check out this incredible breakdown about turning it all around when things are most dire (and don't blame me if you start craving tacos)... To melt down or not to melt down? In true Millennial fashion, I rebel against the notion that you have to “leave the problems at the door” when you show up to work. Jen and I reveal the surprising benefits of embracing your human side in all its messy glory…This one is jam-packed full of advice.

THE THESIS: The Sexual Left runs America, along with Pharma, Tech and Fiance. If you ever question who is in charge, determine who you are not allowed to criticize. Even at Elon Musk's Twitter, we are not allowed to point out that men like the one above are clearly, unambiguously, inarguably suffering from a documented mental illness. The Sexual Left runs America. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: 1 Timothy 4:1-3“Now the Spirit speaketh, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils [demons]; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron…” .WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT DEMON POSSESSION? With rampant growth of the occult and Satanism in our societies, and with the exploding popularity of New Age spiritualism, the spirit world is receiving more attention than ever before. But is there a spirit world? Are evil spirits real? If so, what are they? Where did they come from? And what about demon possession? Does this phenomenon really exist in our world today?THE NEWS & COMMENT:Good Housekeeping listed "gender-inclusive" period panties as one of their favorite products for 2022.

Invest In Her host Catherine Gray talks with Fran Dunaway is a media executive-turned-fashion entrepreneur and co-founder of TomboyX, a Seattle-based gender-neutral underwear and loungewear brand launched in 2013. The brand started as a passion project in collaboration with her wife and co-founder Naomi Gonzalez to create the perfect button-up shirt, pivoting to focus on underwear based on the overwhelming demand for their first boxer brief for women.

The annual number of anti-LGBTQ bills filed has skyrocketed over the past several years, from 41 in 2018 to 240 and counting in the first three months of this year. Half of these bills are targeting transgender people specifically. At the same time, surveys of the general public show over 70% say they support same-sex marriage and laws preventing discrimination across the LGBTQ community. And Gen Z are proudly and loudly identifying with both gender and sexual fluidity. How do we square these two realities? In this episode, Talk Policy to Me reporter Amy Benziger dives into how the rise in representation of people from across the gender and sexual spectrum in media, business, and government has caused a policy backlash by the old guard to solidify their conservative base.  Our guests include Fran Dunway, Founder of TomboyX; Corey Rose, a student at UC Berkeley Journalism School and former reporter for South Florida Gay News; and Pau Crego, Executive Director of the SF Office of Transgender Initiatives.

Fran Dunaway is a media executive-turned-fashion entrepreneur and co-founder of TomboyX, a Seattle-based gender neutral underwear and apparel brand launched in 2013. As a certified B-Corp, she and her partner, Naomi Gonzalez, are driven by a belief that brands can be a force for positive change, and their messaging promotes a human agenda to inspire conversation about gender, confidence, acceptance, and inclusion.

Adam Bryant, author of the bestselling book, Corner Office, asked over 700 CEOs, “What qualities do you see most often in those who succeed?”. The number one answer: Curiosity. Most of the ingenious inventions and extraordinary ideas throughout history all have something in common. From Thomas Edison's light bulb, Alexander Graham Bell's telephone to self-driving cars, they are all a result of curiosity. Meet our guest and Forbes 50 over 50 winner, Fran Dunaway, who is the co-founder of TomboyX, a gender neutral underwear and apparel brand.  TomboyX started as a passion project in collaboration with her wife and co-founder Naomi Gonzalez to create the perfect button-up shirt, but then pivoted to focus on underwear based on the overwhelming demand for their first boxer brief for women.  Under Fran's leadership, TomboyX doubled in YoY growth and was recognized on Inc. Magazine's 5000 fastest growing companies for 4 consecutive years. In this episode, Fran shares how she followed her curiosity to entrepreneurial success; what techniques have helped her navigate risk and uncertainty; and why it's important for brands to be a force for positive change and inspire conversation about gender, confidence, acceptance, and inclusion.  Visit https://www.iambeyondbarriers.com where you will find show notes and links to all the resources in this episode, including the best way to get in touch with Fran.   Highlights:  [03:01] Taking the leap into entrepreneurship [05:51] Discovering your strengths [07:53] Open yourself up to Rainbow Unicorn Moments [10:51] Asking for help [12:55] Don't take rejection personally [14:51] Fran's approach to risk-taking [18:12] Overcoming setbacks [21:02] Staying ahead of the curve [22:32] A Day in the life of Fran [24:22] Lightning round questions [29:08] What's next for Fran   Quotes: “When something goes right or the day is saved, remember that it is because of all of the things that you do that open yourself up to those magical moments.” – Fran Dunaway   “Be careful with the stories that you're telling yourself about why a rejection occurred.

I'm here to give your eco-friendly closet an upgrade based on 2 really amazing textiles I have been learning about. Plus, a deep dive into the textile industry with Sheets & Giggles CEO and Founder, Colin McIntosh (more about him from Eco-Friendly Homes episode six).Contact me, Madison Hopkins, madison@movingwithmadison.comMajor Textile #1 is Tencel™ Lyocell, which is a cellulose fiber.Major Textile #2 is Econyl® regenerated nylon, by Aquafil, made from ocean and waste.My Sheets & Giggles discount code is ECOHOMES for 15% off!Top Rated Brands (by me) that provide sustainable yoga leggings:None of these are affiliate links.#1 Allbirds Women's Natural Legging because it contains 43% Tencel™ Lyocell, 30% Recycled Nylon, 18% ZQ Merino Wool, 9% Elastane. The wool is anti-itch approved by me as well!#2 Girlfriend Collective because their entire collection uses recycled polyester, they promote sustainability, and have their own clothing recycling program through their website called ReGirlfriend. Additionally, their sizes range from XXS to 6XL, which is amazing!#3 TomBoyX entire line of undergarments made of TENCEL™ Modal! They are super soft (I own a few pairs) and they whole company is gender neutral! So their underwear fits a variety of body types!Shoutout Brands:None of these are affiliate links.Prana as their site heavily promotes sustainability and I was able to search for leggings then filter on the left hand side by recycled materials. LA Relaxed for their Eco Rib Legging made of 88% Tencel™ Lyocell 12% Spandex.MPG Sport for their Recycled Polyester and having an easy website to find sustainable products which helps consumers make informed decisions. Ortovox which has base layer pants made of Tencel and wool!Well Know Brands:These are not in my top brand winners because I see them as "keeping up with the times" and not being true textile industry leaders.None of these are affiliate links. Vuori's Eco-Happier collection (only!), as these items contain Recycled Polyester.New Balance has a Green Leaf Standard page where everything with the Leaf is made of 50% or more environmentally friendly materials. Athleta, you must type "recycled" into the search bar to find leggings with Recycled Polyester. I have verified that the 9 collection styles of leggings do contained recycled polyester or nylon.

This week, Julie & Brandy take a deep dive into what's happening in America's schools. First, they stop by School Board Street to learn about the racist, MAGA parents who are terrorizing school board members over Critical Race Theory; Then, they get a visit from 'Everyday Los Angeles High School Student' Drew, who fills them in on what it's like to go to school in America in 2021. What the girls find out about schools is deeply disturbing, but thanks to kids like Drew, we can all rest assured: our future is in good hands.  *********************************************************************************************************** *** Click the link to listen to a FREE episode of our Patreon Podcast!! *No Politics!

This week, goals were met and hearts were touched, because an actual real-life member of the United States Congress came on the Podcast. It was (year to date) the biggest clout grab in Dumb Gay Politics history, and also the fastest. The interview with Congressman Eric Swalwell tops out at a whopping 27 minutes long, but the length of time doesn't matter. What matters is that he's one of the top 5 best looking people to ever be elected in the history of the House of Representatives.  *********************************************************************************************************** *** Click the link to listen to a FREE episode of our Patreon Podcast!! *No Politics!

This week, Julie & Brandy did get drunk, but that's not why this episode is late. A very prominent Congressman was booked for an interview, only to cancel 2 hours before his scheduled appearance. Grasping at straws, the girls decide to play 'People's Couch' with some clips from Trump's Maga Rally in Iowa on Saturday. All that, plus a breakdown of the debt ceiling, and an informational rant on teenage menstruation - make this episode a rollercoaster ride to nowhere.  *********************************************************************************************************** *** Click the link to listen to a FREE episode of our Patreon Podcast!! *No Politics!

Another busy week + another hang over = another late episode. Despite their massive headaches (and clear lack of brain cells), Julie & Brandy start off strong by honoring each of the 13 American service members who were killed during the withdrawal from Afghanistan. After that, they disassociate from their feelings by talking sh*t about the executive producer of The View & their twitter-sister, Meghan McCain, for 40 minutes straight. This episode started out a day late and a dollar short, but everything becomes timeless at Meghan McCain o'clock.  *********************************************************************************************************** *** Click the link to listen to a FREE episode of our Patreon Podcast!! *No Politics!

This week, Julie & Brandy continue sucking at their job. Sick of Corona Virus, and avoiding abortion altogether, they spend the majority of the episode talking sh*t about Ryan Murphy's new FX show, Impeachment, with their friend, Kate Casey. Kate was a (real-life!) White House intern at the same time as Monica Lewinsky, so the clout is strong, and the tea is hot. The girls also spend a little time raging against the Republicans c*ckblocking the debt increase, and celebrating a few good men who are gaying-up government.  The girls clearly phoned it in, but it doesn't matter. Why? Because Kate's great, and it isn't late. *********************************************************************************************************** *** Click the link to listen to a FREE episode of our Patreon Podcast!! *No Politics!

The podcast is late again, because Julie and Brandy got drunk all weekend, and then again on Tuesday. Brain dead (and probably still drunk), the girls explain why West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is currently the biggest piece of sh*t in Congress, and how on September 27th, Nance Pelose may finally get to flush him once and for all. After that, it's Meghan McCain o'clock, so the girls have some hair-of-the-dog to help them get through their Meghan McCain withdrawals (and their vodka withdrawals). This episode might be a day late and a dollar short, but it's definitely better than the new season of The View.  *********************************************************************************************************** *** Click the link to listen to the FREE (TOM KRISTOFFERSON) episode of our Patreon Podcast!! *No Politics!

Following a successful career as a media executive, Fran Dunaway founded TomboyX with her wife to address an unfulfilled need: good and more comfortable underwear. Since 2015, Fran has used her years of experience and knowledge to raise the profile of TomboyX, and its inclusive, gender-neutral underwear, particularly its boxer-brief style, to disrupt the $13B undergarment industry. Listen to this week's episode of Start Small, Dream BIG to learn more!

I sat down with Fran Dunaway, recent Forbes 50 over 50 awardee and CEO and co-founder of TomboyX, a Seattle-based gender-neutral clothing company to discuss operationalizing purpose and how to lean into the values and social issues important to your business. We get into the specifics of establishing and stating your organization's purpose and then consequently encouraging adoption and long-term practice.

Fran Dunaway has been an activist her entire life. Whether she was working for a nonprofit advocating for LGBTQ rights or pushing for anti-discrimination legislation, social change is in her blood. Now, as the co-founder and CEO of TomboyX, Fran makes all-inclusive, gender-neutral clothing and undergarments.“Being part of the LGBTQ community, my wife and I have always been outsiders … so it was important that we [were] inclusive in everything that we did [with TomboyX],” Fran says on this episode of The Empowered Challenger.TomboyX was born when Fran faced a simple challenge: She wanted a nice shirt for work — something with high-quality, vibrant patterns typical in menswear but with a tailored, woman's fit. Unfortunately, that proved impossible to find.So Fran had what she describes as a “rainbow unicorn moment” — she realized there was an entire group of people who had never been seen or recognized within the fashion industry, and she felt “a responsibility to [her] community” to recognize them in a compassionate way.It started with a name that Fran felt truly resonated with her target market: TomboyX. From there, an agency out of Boulder, Colorado helped “bring the brand's voice to life.”In 2013, Fran and her wife, Naomi, created a Kickstarter campaign to get their shirts into production. They raised $76,000 in 30 days, making them realize there was “a bigger opportunity than just shirts.”TomboyX needed financial backing, but finding investors upfront wasn't easy for a niche lesbian underwear company. After two rounds of funding, they're now backed by a venture capital B Corp that's “all about challenger brands and making a difference in the world.”Going from not knowing “a knit from a woven” to having TomboyX's clothing in Nordstrom, Fran built one powerhouse of a brand.Prentice's Takeaway

Today we chat with Deb Benton about her new fund, Willow, that she founded with Amanda Schutzbank.  Deb is on the board of Carbon38, TomboyX, The Leaf Group and she has all sorts of insight on how to do consumer investing well and what sort of metrics to look for.

“How hard can it be to make good underwear?” TomboyX co-founders Fran Dunaway & Naomi Gonzalez had a simple question that nearly everyone has asked themselves at some point. Joleen learns how the lack underwear choice launched one of the county's hottest eco-friendly and sustainable businesses, what it's like working and running a company with your partner, and the importance of inclusion. If you need great undies in your life, or more (they make swimwear too!) you can find them at: https://tomboyx.com/ You can learn more about Joleen at: https://www.hmlglaw.com/profiles/team/joleen-hughes-founder-principal
