An idea - whether it's a business, a book, or a brand isn't just an object. It's a living dynamic organism that has come to us, and us alone, for a reason. This beautiful thing chose us to flow through and co-create with us, and that's a vision that needs no one's approval to bloom.   It's a completely different way of doing business, yes, but it is a more sustainable approach.   Resonance is two energy waves coming together - a Source-given match between creator and creation. That's why the most resonant businesses come from within. Our body's wisdom will always tell us what's resonant and what's dissonant. We need to have courage to honor whatever's happening inside our body, regardless of what the external thinks.   It's a powerful practice, not just for being, playing and loving, but also for creating things that never stop regenerating. For Suzy Batiz, this model was a huge aspect behind Poo~Pourri. How did this idea come to her? How did she overcome the need for approval? How do we take this lesson from her and learn to trust our body's wisdom (and actually listen to it)?   In this episode, we're delighted to be joined by Suzy. She shares the journey she's taken, and why resonance should always be an ingredient in our creative process.   Having the courage to honor whatever's happening inside your body regardless of what the external thinks about it. That's the practice. -Suzy Batiz   Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -The idea has its own desires  When built on resonance, the essence of our creation naturally amplifies out. What's the danger in taking an outside-in approach?   -Warning: logic can be faulty Our brains are powerful creation machines but why is the body more reliable?   -Mind the override  What happens when we ignore the resonant voice inside us in favor of making everyone else comfortable?   Guest Bio    Suzy Batiz is an entrepreneur and the founder of Poo~Pourri. She has been featured by leading publications including Forbes, CNBC, Fast Company and Entrepreneur. She has been named one of Forbes' Richest Self-Made Women in America (2019), EY's Entrepreneur of the Year (2017), Conscious Company's World Changing Women (2019), EarthX's Community Leader of the Year (2019) and is WBENC (Women Owned) certified business owner.

Diana Giovinazzo: It was really interesting. I was having a conversation with my dad and we were discussing how my family ended up coming to the United States and the questions of how turned into, well, why. Why were they leaving Italy? Why were they coming to California? Because there were a massive number of, Italians that left the country going to Australia, New Zealand, the United States and all throughout South America, and my father said well, you should look at Anita Garibaldi and check out her story. I think you'd really like it. That might give you some answers. And so, I did. I picked up a biography and I absolutely fell in love with her story and started digging into the Italian history and what was going on with unification and the country itself.

Welcome to Reimagining Company Culture, a series discussing emerging trends and priorities shaping the future of workplace culture and employee wellbeing. We highlight thought leaders who are constantly evolving their strategy and can provide insight to folks about how to address new business challenges.  AllVoices is on a mission to create safe, happy, and healthy workplaces for all, and we're excited to learn from experts who share our mission.In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we're chatting with Michele Bousquet, Chief People Officer at Strava. In 2018, Michele was named as one of the 30 World-Changing Women in Conscious Business by Conscious Company Media. At Strava she oversees the People Team, and is responsible for over 350 staff members spread across four offices and more than 10 countries. Tune in to learn Michele's thoughts on creating "people-first culture" and staying true to that at scale, making the commitment to be an antiracist company, intentionally investing in employee wellbeing, and more!About AllVoicesIn today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.

Constant feedback and appreciation to inform each person what they did right will help them grow into better people. We are either leaving people better or worse, never neutral. We must put a lot of intention in leaving the people we encounter a little bit better.  “My goal is that everybody walks away from any type of interaction with First United or myself feeling a little bit better, a little elevated because life is so hard for us anyway like it is...” - Melissa Perrin  Connect with Melissa Perrin:Website: www.firstunitedbank.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissalperrin/ Connect with Steve and Jason:LinkedIn: Jason or SteveWebsite: Rewire, Inc.: Transformed Thinking Email: grow@rewireinc.com  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine TallaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

These two have the passion for supporting the growth of purpose driven companies in two areas that overlap through the entire conversation. The topics of mental health programs and supporting the growth opportunities for incarcerated women were the strong threads through the conversation. While talking about growing a purpose driven business it is important to also mention the importance of profit at that level as well. People, purpose, and profit can all thrive and grow at the same strong level. This is a principle that both Michelle and Kindra are familiar with through their work and alignment with Conscious Capitalism. This podcast is a great one for leaders to listen to. It is important to hear and understand the need for mental health programs to support employees. This is not a new topic but a topic that companies are not familiar with talking about, and they need to get over it. When it comes to the topic of diversity and inclusion, then the conversation of hiring previously incarcerated men and women in the workplace should be part of the conversation or companies are not truly hiring in a fully inclusive manner. This conversation was deep, honest, passionate, eye opening, and important to share. In the words of Brad's amazing late mother, “ The well being of everyone is dependent on the well being of everyone.” Culture Mindful is a workforce culture nurture and growth mindset coaching platform.

Jennifer Brandel is Co-founder of Hearken, a people powered process and technology that enables organizations to better engage and collaborate with their stakeholders, as well as the Co-Founder of Zebras Unite, a network creating a more ethical, inclusive and collaborative ecosystem for mission-based startups. For her work in journalism and entrepreneurship, Jen won the prize for “Best Bootstrap Company” at SXSW and won the News Media Alliance Accelerator Prize. She received the Media Changemaker Prize by the Center for Collaborative Journalism, was named one of 30 World-Changing Women in Conscious Business, is a Columbia Sulzberger Fellow, an RSA Fellow, AND a member of the Guild of Future Architects and the National Civic Collaboratory. Jenn and I talk about building a values-based business, why process should come before product, alternatives to the unicorn model, so much more: How combining the philosophical underpinnings of business and working with the Bahai faith taught her an effective way to impact journalism and plant the seed for starting Hearken How changing the process of reporting fundamentally changed the dynamics and results of the newsroom Why and how Hearken preserved optionality as it has grown over the past five years, and the options that are opened by maintaining sole ownership The zebra company as her response to her disillusion with the silicon valley model and exponential growth and monopoly market Why engagement is a strategic business model, and how Hearken is thinking about a more relational engagement model that expands possibilities for peoples lives How Hearken approaches helping companies transform, and why they focus both on what is being left behind and what is newly being built How Hearken designed a system with different moments of feedback loops at major decision making moments and how they deliberately think about the dynamics they create for 1:1 and 1-to-many interactions References and resources: Zebras Unite You are more powerful than you think: A Citizen's Guide to Making Change Happen by Eric Liu Community Centered Journalism: Engaging People, Exploring Solutions, and Building Trust by Andrea Wenzel Design Justice Network Select highlights: "Just by tweaking the process of how news stories got made, we ended up creating a different sounding and differently consequential journalism. Other newsrooms started asking us about it, and I knew I would regret not trying to help others make it work, because I do think it is universally applicable process that makes the world a little bit better." "I feel like what we're trying to do is maintain the mission, and the money follows if you center the public. But the operations and the way the operating systems of news rooms have been set up is completely counter to this, so the work of doing this change while it might sound so simple on the surface is surprisingly more challenging because of the way they're optimized for speed, efficiency and distribution, not for listening, relevance and trust. So, there are a lot of changes that need to happen inside an organization first on a mental paradigm level, and then a workflow and tooling and schedule and business level. This tiny idea ends up changing a lot." "I ran into the tension of what seemed like the Silicon Valley pattern recognition and it felt inherently impossible to build the kind of company I wanted to in that value system in place and that structure. If I want to build a company that lasts a long time and has these kinds of structures, why am I focusing all my time on making a small group of people very wealthy who aren't who I'm trying to serve with this work? I was always pushing back on the 10x unicorn model, but I didn't have the language for what I wanted instead. "That was a tension that was hard, just the tradeoffs along the way of trying to find aligned financing and again hearing people say 'We'd invest in you if you only tweaked it this way or that way,' knowing that that would actually compromise our values. It's hard to walk away from money but we really have figured out that who you get the money from and what it's designed to do is so important, and it's better to say no if you have that option." "It was a real gold rush mentality, and folks really glommed onto one or two narratives of how you could strike it big. Then that just became everything that people were chasing, and then forgot the fact that our economy and country are built on these more steward-owned models in which family or generational companies are growing incrementally over time." "It all comes down to human nature. It's not something that is going to change. People are always going to be curious, they're always going to have questions, they're always going to need other people to help fact check and understand the complexity of any situation to make it digestible and easy to understand what to do. Those things are never going to change, and I feel positive about any system that's built on human nature fundamentals designed for the most productive version of ourselves, versus the most destructive tendencies that we have. And that's what I feel we have with our public powered process and tech." "I think it's all about discerning what are the dynamics that make for the best outcomes for everybody." "There's different network design built for different purposes and I think its really thinking through what's the most productive and what's going to yield the most positive responses for everybody." "The more people are involved, the more they get to see their voices mattering and shaping things and the change they want to see happening the more likely that are to support you and trust you. So many institutions don't have this connective tissue." "People first, going into process, and then product is the final layer. It's easy to start with product because it's tangible, where process is more abstract and requires more mental bandwidth. That's part of it, convincing people the process innovation, which is hard to wrap your head around, is so much more important than what products you're using."

Get ready for a deep conversation with the potential to change how you see yourself, those around you, and what you expect from life. Suzy’s perspective is that of a wise human who has done the work that many of us would rather avoid just to get on with achieving various success markers. We dug deep into Suzy’s life’s work and what it takes to truly transform our lives and be open to new perspectives of what we can do with it.   About Suzy Batiz   Transformation is the common thread that runs throughout founder and creator Suzy Batiz’s life and her companies. Whether transforming the bathroom into a pleasant-smelling experience with Poo~Pourri, the household cleaning industry from toxicity to aromatherapeutic magic with supernatural or people’s lives with her growing portfolio of ALIVE OS™ courses, Suzy is a revolutionary explorer of infinite potential in the playground of life. She loves to inspire others and bring them along for the ride, with energy being her native tongue.   Suzy experienced some of life’s lowest lows — poverty, sexual and domestic abuse, depression, two bankruptcies and a suicide attempt — leading to what she calls the luxury of losing everything. Through her journey of liberation from a lifetime of oppression, convention and conformity, she discovered the power of pattern-breaking thinking and curated a radical “Trinity of Transformation.” Harnessing the energy of intuition and transformation, Suzy built her businesses from the ground up without ever taking a dollar of outside investment, building ALIVE IDEAS into a nine-figure empire.   As creator of each brand, Suzy currently serves as Chief Visionary Officer and Chairwoman of Poo~Pourri, CEO of supernatural and Chief Explorer of ALIVE OS™. She continues to build her brands using the transformative principles that she now shares with the world through ALIVE OS™, embodying her belief that our external world is simply a reflection of our internal state of being.   Suzy has been featured by leading publications including The New Yorker, Forbes, TODAY, People, CNBC, Fast Company and Entrepreneur. She has been named one of Forbes’ Richest Self-Made Women in America (2019, 2020), EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year (2017), Conscious Company’s World Changing Women (2019), EarthX’s Community Leader of the Year (2019) and is WBENC (Women Owned) certified business owner. Suzy has also been interviewed for Leaders Create Leaders, Modern Hero & Marie Forleo’s Marie TV and has given presentations for Conscious Capitalism, Google, HustleCon, SXSW, Create & Cultivate & the In goop Health summit.   Share this episode with three individuals who would benefit from learning how to heal in their lives. This dialogue is foundational before going off and building any empire.   Show Notes   Self-Compassion: How can we be more compassionate to ourselves? According to Daoism, the path to enlightenment is to accept and allow. Suzy talks about both steps. Internal Struggle: It’s important to reconsider how you are trying to keep yourself in line. Empathy: Fake vs. real. Pain: How consuming is it and can you be truly empathic if you have unprocessed pain? Authentic: What is the key to being authentic? Can we skip healing our pain? Self-Trust: How to start trusting ourselves? Suzy shares an Alive OS ™ exercise. Acceptance: What are your expectations? Can you accept what is? Self-Empowerment: What role does it play in adding flow in our moves through life? Trusting Others: How to start trusting others is to fully trust yourself. Awareness: Accept what is. We are all humans even qualities that sound “bad” like us being opportunistic. Universal Source of Infinite Wisdom: A busy mind and what’s needed to tap into infinite wisdom. Terror: It’s hard to be still if you are in pain or feeling terror? Again, turn your focus to heal pain to open up your direct path to infinite wisdom. Death: What’s the key to not be terrified of death? Transitions: Consider this guiding question: How can I be with whatever comes up?   Key Distinction: Quieting our reptilian brain is key not shutting it off. Sharing Your Message: What is our responsibility here? Courage: Does it come from trauma or something else? How can we become more courageous? Life: Is it fair or easy? Fill in the blanks. Suzy credited Byron Katie and her trips to the jungle for incredible life-changing insights you’ll want to write down.   Links to quench your curiosity:   Learn more about Suzy Batiz Find Suzy on Instagram Sign-up to the waitlist for Alive OS ™   Books and resources mentioned:   David Hawkins: Power vs. Force Learn about Gay Hendricks Autobiography of A Yogi – Paramahansa Yogananda   Want to continue the conversation?   Now you can by following me on Instagram!

About Suzy Batiz Transformation is the common thread that runs throughout founder and creator Suzy Batiz's life and her companies.

Allison Pataki has made it her specialty to discover the relatively unknown women of history whose lives changed the course of empires, whose names have largely been forgotten.  Women like Désirée Clary, the first love of Napoleon's life. She might have ended up as Empress if he hadn't met Josephine, but she went on to found a famous royal house which still exists today. In The Queen's Fortune, Allison's latest book, she tells us the story of this fascinating historical figure. Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and in todays Binge Reading episode Allison talks about the qualities needed for living through turbulent times, whether they are contemporary or historical, and the women who survived them. On a more personal note, in her own intimate memoir, Beauty in the Broken Places, she catalogues her own journey through rough waters. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: Why Allison loves writing about history's unsung heroinesHow she discovered Sisi, the 'accidental' EmpressThe first love whose legacy outlives Napoleon'sDealing with the 'club of bad things'The authors she recommendsOrchestrating betrayal - traitor Benjamin Arnold's wife's story Where to find Allison Pataki:  Website: Allisonpataki.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AllisonPatakiPage  Twitter: @AllisonPataki Bookbub: https://www.bookbub.com/authors/allison-pataki Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7155436.Allison_Pataki What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. But now, here's Allison. Jenny Wheeler: Hello there, Allison and welcome to the show. It's so good to have you with us. Allison Pataki: Thank you so much for having me, Jenny. I'm thrilled to be here. The wonders of modern technology. We can be crossing winter to summer across the globe. Jenny Wheeler: That's absolutely right. You are in the depths of winter. Tell us what you're experiencing right now. Allison Pataki: I'm in upstate New York, about an hour outside of Manhattan, and we are in the middle of a historic snowstorm. It started two days ago, and it has not stopped and is not showing signs of stopping. Allison Pataki - Best-selling New York Times historic fiction Everybody has been completely housebound. Local leaders have advised everybody to stay off the roads, which is not an issue for us because our car is so buried under snow right now that we can't get anywhere. So it's me, my husband, our children, and we're all on day four of solitary confinement together at home. Jenny Wheeler: You've had a taste of that this last 12 months with the pandemic as well. Allison Pataki: Exactly. This is a new level because we literally can't go outside our front door. It's taking it to the extreme in the depths of February wintertime snowy weather. Jenny Wheeler: You are a New York Times bestselling author who's made a specialty of finding relatively unknown women - you describe them as previously unexplored women – and turning them into riveting historical fiction. I wonder where that impulse initially came from? Allison Pataki: Well, thank you. I hope it's riveting fiction. That certainly would be high praise to hear that. That genre, for me, is my happy place as a reader and as a writer. Allison's 'happy place' is history I have always loved history and I've always loved reading and literature and diving into a great story. I truly think historical fiction for me is a perfect blending of those passions and those interests. I feel historical fiction is a wonderful way in, because it's not only educational, but it's wildly entertaining and transportive. What I've noticed myself gravitating towards is historical fiction that is focused on the female perspective. Take my most recent book as an example, The Queen's Fortune. Many readers and many people in general are familiar with th...

On today’s uplifting podcast, I share an incredible conversation with Vicki Saunders, an entrepreneur, award-winning mentor, advisor to the next generation of changemakers and leading advocate for entrepreneurship, as a way of creating positive transformation in the world. Vicki is Founder of SheEO and #radical generosity, a global initiative to radically transform how we support, finance and celebrate female entrepreneurs. Vicki has co-founded and run ventures in Europe, Toronto and Silicon Valley and taken a company public on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Vicki was recently named as 1 of 30  “World-Changing Women in Conscious Business” by Conscious Company Magazine and one of the 100 most influential leaders of 2015 from “EBW – Empowering A Billion Women”. In 2001, Vicki was selected as a Global Leader for Tomorrow by the World Economic Forum. Listen to today’s incredible podcast as vicki shares her own powerful personal stories and background to what helped shaped her to dream to build SheEO and #radical generosity.   “I knew I always wanted to have a big impact,” Vicki shared. Everything fell into place for Vicki when she was in Europe. “It was the most freedom I had ever felt” and it was the thing that sparked her dream to go home and start a foundation for women.   “I did things differently as a woman,” Vicki shared.    What does it mean to be successful as a woman? What are the conditions that allow someone to achieve their dreams? What sort of environment?    Vicki described her interest to identify, design and create conditions to help women reach their full potential. What is the culture and conditions for women to survive and thrive?    That’s where SheEO has grown and scaled globally - Women working on the world’s to-do list. “We have identified critical priorities. We use our influence and expertise to help get great ideas off the ground,” Vicki explains.    There’s a lot of power in sharing resources. Through her radical generosity work, Vicky mentioned how each and every member of her foundation is aligned with “How can I help you”? It’s the question every member asks.     Nothing brings more joy to Vicki than seeing women stepping into their own power. Her vision includes changing the world’s message from scarcity to abundance. Everyone has a gift to give.   Enjoy today’s podcast. You’ll be inspired by Vicki’s story and message - “Trust and step into your discomfort before you think you’re ready. It takes bravery to be a leader”.   Lastly, to find out more about my ‘Millionairess Business & Financial Independence course for entrepreneurial women’, my new book in paperback, audio, journals, diaries and wonderful stories of other women, I mentor head to…   www.MillionairessMagazine.com    And until next time...   Be Bold, Be Courageous, Be Fabulous   With Love & Gratitude   Amanda Jane

Welcome to another episode of the Decoding Purpose Podcast.Tonight the September moon is in full bloom. With a full moon high in the sky, it is a fitting day to celebrate the power of women changing the world. After all the moon is considered to be a feminine symbol. When the moon is full, women are at their highest point energetically - so for ladies out there looking for some inspiration to celebrate tonight's full moon get ready to bask in the light of today's guest.And for those who couldn't care less about the full moon - don't worry this is not all woo woo. You're about to hear from one the fiercest female entrepreneurs In my network so strap yourself in.Jennifer McMahon is the serial founder of two purpose-driven organisations. In 2017 She founded The Modern Day Woman Movement which is a group of female leaders across Australia with one thing in common, breaking stereotypes and living outside their comfort zones. In 2019 she also founded Modern People who are Australia’s first Purpose-for-Profit People and Culture Company connecting individuals and companies to Purpose.Jen and I connected on the phone in March literally in the week that COVID hit Australian shores. It was evident from our first conversation that destiny was at play - and that we would be partners in purpose. We have already worked on a project together called the Alliance as a part of Modern People which Jen founded to help people purposefully navigate the pandemic, but I think we both know that the best is yet to come.Today's conversation is a true reflection of the banter between two women incredibly passionate about unleashing purpose in the world for individuals and organisations. And it's a conversation with two women willing to dive into the intersection between the professional and the personal, the strategic and the spiritual, the truth and the transformation.So as long as you're not driving get your pen and a journal ready - you will need them to jot down the many notes of inspiration - because Jen McMahon is one of the most inspiring people I know.

Conscious Company Media produces national events, such as the World-Changing Women’s Summit, the Conscious Company Leaders’ Forum (a forum dedicated to training leaders to use business as a force for good), and Their flagship product, Conscious Company Magazine, which was the first nationally distributed print publication in the U.S. to focus exclusively on sustainable and conscious business practices.  While Meghan’s role transitioned from doing everything in start-up land to editor-in-chief of the magazine to focusing on her responsibilities as CEO, she has learned a lot about herself and her passions and skills. Meghan has determined that her true zone of genius is in bringing people together to have thoughtful, deep conversations, providing people with the knowledge and tactics needed to change their lives. While she loves helping all kinds of people, her real focus is on allowing women to be more authentic, feminine leaders in the mission-driven business space, which is why she developed both the summit and her podcast. But she could not have done this alone. Meghan emphasizes the power of community, and how important it is to surround yourself with people who share common experiences with you and believe in similar values. Four years ago, she founded a group of seven female CEOs who continue to meet and share their thoughts on being a woman in this space every other month. She also offers insights she has learned from both male and female business owners who have inspired her on this journey through the space. In this episode, Meghan shares her journey with us, discussing her experience co-founding Conscious Company Media, lessons learned along the way, her thoughts on community, and her deep-rooted passion for connecting with, empowering, and supporting impact-driven women to help them make their mark by making a difference.

She is a Jack-of-many-trades who finds enthusiasm for everything she does. As a proud immigrant, Bita does whatever she can to help spotlight the contributions of immigrants in America, especially amongst the Iranian American community. Amongst Bita’s many passions is her love for cooking, which has evolved into Bita’s Kitchen, which was featured as part of the “Immigrant Dinners” series by LA Times’ annual “Food Bowl” at Momed Beverly Hills. The event was part of Immigrant Heritage Month and World Refugee Day, highlighting the diverse contributions made by immigrants to the cultural fabric of the community, through the lens of food and family. Bita has been recognized by Conscious Company Media as one of the Top 35 World-Changing Women in 2019 and by Capacity Media as an Agent of Change during their Women in Tech 2019 Awards, and was also just approved to join the Forbes Communications Council as a member.
