    🧩 Decolonize Your Systems & Yourself — Neurodivergence & Notion with Podge Thomas

    "These were very colonized institutions that I feel brainwashed me. And they brainwash a lot of people. So now as a business owner, creative & Notion consultant, what I get to do is decolonize my business and help my clients look at their own businesses through a decolonization lens." Today I’m joined by Podge Thomas for a reflective conversation about why being self-employed invites (and requires) decolonizing how we learn, how we communicate, how we operate, and how we relate to others.  Podge is a queer, POC, neurodivergent Notion consultant. Her clients are progressive and radical self-identifying women and non-binary business leaders. When she’s not Notion-izing, she is renovating her 1780’s home in New England with her partner.  Together we explore: The coercive effects of traditional education ⛓️‍💥Why Amelia did School like Ken did Beach 🏖️How to de-condition & decolonize our businesses 🧲The importance of situating self-knowledge amidst community values 🎗️Why Notion is a liberatory tool 👾Task management for non-linear thinkers 😵‍💫& so much more!  👋  Thinking of leaving social media?

    🎢 What To Do When Nothing’s Working — with Jenny Blake

    I’ve admired Jenny Blake’s work from afar for years. First for her seemingly endless success with book deals, big-name podcast guests, and six-figure corporate contracts. And now for her incredibly honest accounting of how her business dissolved during the pandemic and hasn’t rebounded since. So in today’s episode, Jenny joins us to share the highs and lows of her 13 years of self-employment. And together we go deep into all the practical, intuitive, and creative things she’s tried to keep her business going… even though nothing’s really working (except maybe Substack). This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who has struggled or is struggling in business. ❤️‍🩹 Big hugs to all of us!  👋  Thinking of leaving social media? You don't have to go it alone!
