Coeur d'Femme Melinda Cadwallader

“As a parent, I cannot think of any other reason to bring a human into this world, other than to support the flourishing of a life's fullest expression.”
There is a difference between a business owner and a business leader. 
Business ownership historically leads patriarchally, treating employees as property, a means to an end, and disposable. 
Business leadership seeks to operate more matriarchally, working to create a culture and environment that supports onward and upward economic mobility. 

Do you own, or do you lead? 

Creating the infrastructure for girls, women, and mothers to flourish within your company is not too complicated. It’s actually easier than you think - but it may cost you a bit of time and intention. In this episode, I’ll give you some simple ways to get started, infuse some matriarchal leadership strategies, and help you position your business as a leader in your industry.

Leadership trend: paying attention and staying alert to symptoms that may point to a communication blockage. Mindful, healthy, and proactive communication is the skill set of sound leadership. Don't wait for dysfunctional communications to grow large enough to cause damage to personal relationships and a professional atmosphere.

Culture is a silent language. Communication constitutes. To name something is to bring it into understanding. Animals, people, and all elements of nature and science are identified through naming. Speaking helps to embrace understanding, declare an existence, and establish meaning. In order to keep organizational and relational flows moving swiftly and smoothly, mindful leaders look to communication theories for identifying problems, maintaining understanding, and clarifying solutions.

Melinda welcomes Jackie McCormick to share about her research at The Northwest Femicide Project, how engaging in this work impacts her life, and the faithful labors of trusting her process. Coeur d'Femme is not just talking about an issue, it's also about giving space and listening to the bravehearted femmes who are leading the charge and doing something about it. If you've never heard the term "femicide", this is your nudge to listen in and start paying closer attention. [TW: disturbing conversations involving violence against women. ]

Closing a new business can feel like loss of a life, a letting go of something that took substantial time, effort, energy and love, bringing it to fruition. It's grief work. In this episode, Melinda shares about her time away after closing The Hive, what's next for Coeur d'Femme, and what episodes are on the horizon.

The femmes and the mens talk it out. Unashamed of their own sexual history and continuously curious in the quest for hosting female pleasure, Jake Casey and Michael Cadwallader will have all genders laughing, applauding, and considering possible improvements within sexual experiences.
