She explains why she believes the overturning of SAB 121 and the House vote for the FIT21 bill were both instrumental to the White House's changing view on crypto and may have played a role in the SEC's surprising approval of spot ETH ETFs. Having worked for years on passing crypto legislation and as a lifelong Democrat, Sheila describes what kinds of arguments were persuasive to Democratic members of Congress, addresses some criticisms of the FIT21 bill, and gives her perspective on the debate about single-issue voters.Show highlights: The overall attitude toward crypto in Washington going into the House vote on SAB 121 on May 8The bipartisan votes in the House and Senate to overturn SAB 121Why, by the time of the Senate vote on FIT21, the White House had had a change of heart about cryptoWhy, after the Senate vote to repeal SAB 121, the SEC approved the spot ETH ETFsWhy Sheila is so proud of the passage in the House of the FIT21 billHow Sheila and CCI approached their discussions with Democrats and what arguments they found effectiveWhether the industry has survived the negative image of SBF and FTXThe sea change in the White House between the SAB 121 vote and the FIT21 voteA high-level description of the FIT21 bill What kind of authority the bill would give the CFTC over crypto What the implications of the bill are for launching tokensFIT21's approach to regulating DeFi and how the FIT21 bill is "kicking the can" on this topicThe overall political and legislation landscape and the next likely steps for cryptoWhether the ETF approval changes anything about the SEC's investigation into EthereumWhat Sheila thinks about the 'crypto single-issue voter' debate Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.comThank you to our sponsors!PolkadotVaultCraftGuest:Sheila Warren, CEO of the Crypto Council for InnovationPrevious appearance on Unchained: Did FTX Ruin Crypto's Image on Capitol Hill?

As Gina Gutierrez, the co-founder of Dipsea, says in her Ted Talk, “Using their memories, fantasies, and some focus - women can turn themselves on with their thoughts.” In this conversation, Gina and I discuss exploration of fantasy, the differences between erotica and porn, ways to figure out what turns you on, and barriers to pleasure. I like the way Gina puts it, "Your desire is not a problem to be solved, but a fire to be stoked."

Hey there everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Female Empowered Podcast. Today, I am talking about one of my favorite topics – pricing. We often see in our industry that the pricing is comparable to the other businesses in the market rather than according to their expenses, their capacity, and their profitability. It's not your fault if you also practice this in your business, but, the truth is, if you need to generate $100 an hour to meet your expenses and pay yourself as a business owner but you are only charging $90, you will never hit your goal no matter how hard you work. I wanted to talk about pricing in this episode so you can get some tips and guides on raising your prices this 2024. This is one of the first things we look at when business owners join our programs. We will be getting into the nitty gritty of evaluating your pricing objectively, deciding if you need to raise your prices for profitability, how you can communicate a price update with your clients and your staff, and how you can respond to the reaction to the increase in your prices. Let's dive into:     Introduction to today's topicThe very first thing that we check with our clientsReasons why small boutique fitness brands need to raise prices Checking which expenses have increased Looking at the biggest trends this 2024 How to determine what kind of price increase is going to benefit your bottom line the most, and how to compute the profit margin and the price increaseLooking at the costs of employing a person Importance of understanding your numbers and your profit margin How to compute your profit margin Why it's important to do market analysisHow to effectively communicate your change in pricing and some sample e-mail communications that we give our clients when we do price updatesReasons why you should raise your prices ConclusionIf you are a business generating over $250,000 in annual revenue and you are ready to get the kind of system, structure, strategy, and deep dive into your numbers the way we do it at the Inner Circle, we still have three spots for the program. If you are interested, registration for the Inner Circle is still open!

Hi! Welcome back to another episode of The Female Empowered Podcast. The episode I have for you today came up when I was on a walk and was listening to a podcast. The title is “Overcoming Overthinking for the Female Business Owner.”I think that many of the people who resonate with me, join my mentorship group, and listen to my podcast are similar in the fact that we all tend to be high achievers. And in the many meetings I have, we talk a lot about not only overthinking, but also catastrophizing.I worked on overthinking and catastrophizing for the last five or six years. For a while, I actually thought that everyone thought the same and everyone was just like me – that they also drive themselves crazy.Later, I realized that I've been sending myself into these spirals that aren't even necessary because there are so many things I overthink that are completely out of my control or are completely made up in my head.With this episode, I hope you understand that you are not alone and there are things that we can do so that we overcome overthinking together!Let's talk about:   Introduction to today's topicThe type of thoughts that comes to my mind because of being an overthinkerWhat is overthinking and catastrophizingWomen tend to ruminate 30 percent more than men doWhy is overthinking seen predominantly in women in businessThe implications of constantly catastrophizing and overthinking: Analysis Paralysis, Decision Paralysis    Some case studies on the causes and results of overthinking for women in businessHow overthinking affects your healthHow you can have adaptive problem solving and analytical skills without creating maladaptive rumination and overthinkingSome solutions for overthinking that worked for me as well as solutions based on researchesSome interventions, mindset shift, reframing that you can do for your overthinkingA few case studies relevant to being mindful and avoiding overthinking for female business ownersWhat I did during the time that I was feeling overwhelmed with my business or when team members leave my companyConclusionKnow that things are eventually going to work out and the universe will conspire in your favor!Looking for advice and resources to help you market and grow your clinic or client based business?

I will be sharing with you a pretty cool topic, which we've been talking a lot about in our Business Mentorship programs. The topic is: mindset re-frames.These mindset re-frames are for the stressed out entrepreneurs. I wanted to talk about this because I've been through so much in my business, too, and I think that business owners don't hear a lot about these mindset crap that we get caught in when we try to navigate through our business to make it successful.Our self-limiting beliefs can be our downfall so I hope that you give this episode a listen so you can learn about these mindset re-frames that you can definitely apply to yourself and your business!Let's get to it:   Introduction to the topicThe real truth on mindset traps and self-limiting beliefs for entrepreneursThe first mindset trap: I don't know enough to start/grow my businessThe second mindset trap: I'm not a natural leader, so I shouldn't have people on my teamThe third mindset trap: It's just easier to do it myselfThe fourth mindset trap: I have to work around the clock to be successfulThe fifth mindset trap: I want to delegate but I have people who are not ready to step upThe sixth mindset trap: I can't compete with larger franchise companiesThe seventh mindset trap: I always feel like I'm taking four steps back for every step forwardThe eighth mindset trap: I'm not good at salesConclusionMindset is one of the biggest things we work on with the Female Founders with our Inner Circle program.

In this solo episode, I sit down to chat about the division of labor and why I think it is such an important topic. I discuss the unfortunate reality that is the disadvantage, from the very beginning, the mother is put in when it comes to division of labor and why this topic is one that every couple should be discussing. I share stories submitted by the FF Family and also reflect on how Joe and I have evolved and grown since early postpartum. I share our struggles in navigating the topic and the tools that helped us get to where we are today. Key Takeaway / Points:Unpacking why I think division of labor is such an important topicThe unfortunate reality of the birthing person in a relationship being set up at a disadvantage from the very beginningReflecting back on early postpartum and the feelings of resentment/anger I had and how “keeping score” sets you up for failureTools that helped Joe and I tackle this topic and get to a place where we both feel appreciatedWhat the division of labor currently looks like for usListen to the Terrible, Thanks for Asking podcast episode “Fairplay at Home” hereBuy Eve Rodsky's book, Fairplay, hereBuy the Fair Play card deck hereFollow me:Instagram: @freckledfoodieWebsite: freckledfoodie.comTikTok: freckledfoodieTwitter: @freckledfoodieYoutube: Cameron Rogers / Freckled FoodiePinterest: Freckled FoodieThis episode was edited by Tim Flanzbaum See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Whether you're a morning person or not, this one's for you! No one talks about it much but Jenn found it for us, scientifically, what happens to make us wake up, why we're more groggy some days and a bit of the body's biology upon waking. From there, Jenn translates it all into how we can design our perfect mornings. As much as there's a checklist, Jenn advises us to think about it more like a menu. Offering us the categories we want to hit and options for each, it's all here! Jenn shares her morning routine and asks the question: What's required for your daily on-ramp?     Outline:Welcome back & welcome back, LaurenIntro today's topicThe role of genetics in difficulty waking upScience of how we wake upSodium & potassium channelsThe Reticular Activating System (RAS)Why you're more groggy on some daysKey factors of our biology upon waking up to inform our morning routinesDehydrationSetting your circadian rhythmBrain tying up loose endsCortisol & dopamine are highMuscles frozen overnight...movementThe snooze buttonConnection to evening routinesRemember willpowerThe role of routines & structureBlue zonesLess checklist, more menuHow much time do you have?Stages of life impacts morning routinesThe on-rampChoose your pieces from the menuThe menuWake-up - time, the alarm, how to solve the snoozeLight - sunlight, blue lightMake your bedFresh airWater & vitaminsMovementFeed your mind - music, books, podcasts, meditation, journaling, gratitudeQuality nutritionHal Elrod's Miracle Morning, SAVERS acronymKey elements: stand, lights, breathe, move, waterTips to make it happenLinks:Become a MemberConnect with us!
