Happy Productive with Jennifer Dawn: Grow Your Business Without Giving Up Your Life Jennifer Dawn

Managing finances during a divorce can be much less stressful if you are prepared. Lisa Wohlleib is a financial analyst and founder of assetPARTNERS, a company that works with lawyers and individuals to help resolve financial disputes during divorce proceedings. It’s no secret that divorce is a stressful and awful experience, but there are steps you can take to make the process easier. One way to prevent stress is by agreeing to equalize access to finances during divorce so one partner is not locked out during or after the separation. Be aware of all your assets, keep individual copies of tax returns, and understand that any assets you hide from your partner will be uncovered during a divorce. Alleviate future hardships and stress by staying informed and ready.
Show notes timestamps: 💍 Lisa's company works with law firms and high-net-worth individuals to help resolve complex financial disputes during divorce proceedings. 02:15💰 Try to equalize both partners' access to cash because many games are played when one partner has unequal cash access. 04:18❗ If you want to maintain separate assets or exclude them from division, the time to do that would be before marriage or shortly after. 06:27💲 Lawyers do global lawyering, and Lisa is focused strictly on the financial piece: she identifies fraud and uncovers lost or hidden assets. 09:35🧑‍⚖️ It's foolhardy to attempt to lie to a judge about assets in 2023. 12:43💠 The best part about Lisa's work is that she can create a more accurate and fair situation: the worst part is the stress that clients experience. 14:48📄 Have a copy of the documents you sign: more information is always a real benefit. 18:29

The wounds we carry can be holding us back in the business world. Angela Ficken is a psychotherapist with an online educational system that offers accessible resources for dealing with stress and anxiety. There is a lot of stigma around seeking therapy, but it can be a crucial step toward success if you are a struggling entrepreneur. Overcoming obstacles and dealing with stress and anxiety is a normal part of life and business, but if you cannot handle stress with grace, it may be due to unhealed trauma. Putting yourself in a vulnerable position and finding a therapist who works for you may be a leap of faith, but overcoming your trauma is a profound and freeing experience that makes it worth the risk and investment. Start your healing journey today and get on the life-changing path toward success.
Show notes time stamps:🌷 Angela is a psychotherapist and online educator - she knew she wanted to be a psychotherapist at 10 years old.  01:37✅ Entrepreneurs are surprised that they can't handle everything but feel like they should: therapy can offer strategies to help us think more clearly and less based on stress and anxiety. 05:55🟣 What you grew up with and carry around is influencing you now in your business: be willing to go back and work on yourself. 11:48❣️ Part of growing is learning and making mistakes: therapy is a risk that can pay off with the right therapist, just don't quit if you have a terrible experience with the first one. 15:17💡 With contrast comes clarity - a bad experience helps you know what you want: tell your therapist what's triggering you in their work approach. 22:09🔷 It's scary to be vulnerable with someone: be curious about why you're not being completely honest - it will help you in your life and relationships. 27:54🌼 You only have to heal once. 30:28

If you are working towards a happier life, ensure that you do it from a place of power and abundance. Being happy is a universal goal, yet it seems to remain inaccessible to so many of us. When we are not thankful for the things we already have and feel victimized by our situations, we are approaching the journey toward happiness from a powerless standpoint and making it a conditional goal. We must put in the hard work to heal ourselves, face our negative emotions, and adopt a positive, thankful attitude, and happiness will naturally follow. Stay in control of your power to achieve a positive and productive mindset!
Show Notes🖐 "Happy Productive" comes from creating that happy place where we can make the most of our time being productive: 5 mistakes that make you suck at being happy. 00:53💸 Mistake #1 - Giving our power away by chasing goals and putting conditions on happiness. 03:30💗 Mistake #2 - Forgetting to practice gratitude: set goals from a place of abundance, power, and gratitude. 06:15❗ Mistake #3 - Victim mindset: you have control over your reality. 11:13✅ Mistake #4 - You're not healing your crap: fight, flight, and freeze reactions show us crap we didn't recover from yet. 14:13📖 ‘Best Journal Ever’ was created to be a great tool for a healing journey. 19:28⚠️ Truth mirroring can show us that what we're so mad at another person for may be a reflection of what's going on in ourselves. 22:43❣️ Mistake #5 - We don't do the hard work: happiness lives at the other end of hard. 24:59🏃‍♀️ Unbreakable Retreats combine a Spartan Race with business and life coaching: doing things you think you can't do builds strength and mental toughness. 27:22📉 Personal walls and justifications can block your business development. 29:30🤗 Use these tools today and join the 90-Day Breakthrough Challenge if you're interested in further development. 32:54

Your business can’t grow if you can’t grow, and being honest with yourself is the key. 
Jason Portnoy is a venture capitalist and author of Silicon Valley Porn Star, a book that outlines his healing journey from addiction to serenity. Everybody strives for success, but for some of us, pursuing achievements may be a distraction from shame and internal issues we aren’t ready to face yet. 

All facets of who we are as people are connected, and the problems we have in our personal lives will eventually manifest into our business life. If you are ready to start your healing journey, you must be honest, vulnerable, and ready to share your secrets to get to the root of your traumas. Stop looking for comfort in distractions and honor your most authentic self!
Show Notes:🔞 Jason worked in Silicon Valley with some big faces but traumas from childhood triggered a sexual addiction: he wrote a book called Silicon Valley Porn Star. 04:16📖 Healing the Shame That Binds You by John Bradshaw is a book that helped Jason fight through his toxic shame: hyper-achievement can be driven by shame and even rewarded. 07:45🌞 Remove the layers that block out the sun: happiness is a natural byproduct. 11:19☯️ Peacefulness and serenity are less of an emotion and more like a state of being: that's what most of us want when we want happiness. 14:06🤐 When you don’t know that everything in life is connected: Jason was omitting selective facts to his coach - he thought some weren't relevant to his healing process. 17:41✅ We can undergo fundamental healing and progress in all aspects of our lives when we present our whole selves. 19:24💼 Jason works as a venture capitalist with a different perspective: your business can't grow faster than you grow, and your business can't get bigger than you are. 22:31🎯 Being an entrepreneur is being ready to manifest a creation that shows you in the real world and outlines where your limits are so that you can push through those limits. 25:04👩‍❤️‍👨 Jason and his wife managed to heal - they both took responsibility for what was happening: some relationships shouldn't continue. 29:08📣 Letting his secrets out started the healing: a man coming clean to a woman is partially about him being honest with her and honoring that commitment in the relationship. 35:13➡️ There are different kinds of secrets - both conscious & unaware - we discover them on the way. 38:12

You can become a pioneer for a better future by adopting a ‘flexitarian’ approach and adding vegan alternatives to your lifestyle. 

Stephanie Downs is an entrepreneur developing vegan innovations and alternatives for industries across the globe. Living a life that incorporates more plant-based choices has never been easier, and every choice you make matters.

She shares how raising animals for food and materials is an archaic practice in terms of how much time and resources it costs, and the impact it has on our planet is devastating. Thankfully we can all make a genuine difference with our daily meals and purchases by reducing the amount of meat we eat and exploring alternatives like synthetics and next-gen plant-based substitutes. 

Help make the world a better place for both animals and humans by trying plant-based alternatives!
Show Notes:👩‍💼 Stephanie is an entrepreneur and animal lover: from owning a plant-based meat company in India to a plant-based leather company. 01:29🐶 It's never been easier to be flexitarian - every meal makes a difference: Stephanie couldn't continue eating animals and volunteering in an animal shelter at the same time. 05:05🌱 Benefits of eating plant-based: Removing animals from the supply chain, and letting them have their life. 09:40🇮🇳 The story behind developing a company in India: 95% of the population doesn't have access to refrigerators but the cost of living is significantly smaller. 12:21👜 The fashion industry is under a lot of pressure: leather is the most harmful material for the environment the fashion industry uses. 17:34🏞️ The only alternative available to animal leather is synthetic leather, but that's plastic: Stephanie’s next-gen leather uses just 8 plant-based ingredients! 20:19👍 An animal hide will take about 50 years to biodegrade; synthetic leather probably takes 1000 years, but next-gen leather has significant degradation after only 2 months and is not toxic. 24:12🟤 Progress over perfection - switch to synthetics instead of animal-based clothes, and soon we'll have the next-gen leather. 26:10❤️ We all have to step up - nobody can help everybody, but everybody can help somebody: make small steps in a positive direction. 29:27💲 Every little bit matters - companies listen to our dollars: wherever you are, leave the place cleaner than you found it. 32:15
