    Your Sensitivity is Your Super Power

    Welcome to the Courageous Entrepreneur Show. This is the show that shares information and inspiration to help you break free from self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and disempowering patterns and break through to create the thriving, successful business you dream of and deserve. The show features interviews with entrepreneurs who've overcome amazing challenges to create success on their terms and experts who share insight and practical information to help you move forward with courage, confidence, and clarity so you – the introverted, mission-driven entrepreneur -- consistently reach your biggest goals. If you like what you hear I hope you'll share the show with others. Be sure to visit winnie Anderson.com/nicole to get the show notes for this episode As an Introvert it's easy to feel as though you don't quite fit in. The world seems full of extroverts who love to tell us what's wrong with us. I once had a client who had paid about 10,000$ to spend the day with a guru. Rather than understand what she was struggling with that was contributing to her lack of progress and creating a game plan that would work for her, he told her she didn't have a big enough why and that's the reason she hadn't achieved her goals. What we can find hard to deal with is accepting ourselves as we are, and creating a plan that works with and supports our core personality. With me on this episode is Nicole Isler. Nicole is Chief Empowerment Officer and the founder of Guts, Grit, & Fire Community for sensitive visionaries. She's a spiritual teacher, coach, light leader, and big-time dreamer. She helps other dreamers in various industry segments bring their dreams into the world. Her clients are struggling to deal with things like corporate responsibilities, toxic relationships, messy energy and messy emotions. She helps them close the gap from where they are to living their freedom and feeling fulfilled. Remember my guests and I aren't giving you specific advice. The information we're sharing is for educational and entertainment purposes only. If you need help be sure to seek out a trained professional whether you need help in the financial, tax, business building, or physical or mental healthcare provider. If you feel triggered by anything in this episode please get help right away. Listen in as Nicole and I discuss: The difference between being sensitive and being easily offended And the difference between being emotional and being dramatic Why embracing and owning your feelings is important to take back your power Where beliefs come from and how to manage them How to deal with negative experiences from the past that may have a hold over you Our mission as spiritual beings Why it's not rejection when someone says no to working with you Repurposing your life events And The role of ego in listening to our intuition As always, listen all the way to the end where I'll share your cocktail exercise and action step for this episode.

Links below may include affiliate links, meaning I may receive compensation if you click through and make a purchase. This doesn't impact the price you pay and is part of how I support production costs of the show. Show Notes One of the downsides to being self-employed is there are no sick days. Our health is incredibly important to us. As more than one health expert has said "Your health is your wealth." But we can get so caught up in work that our health can definitely suffer. It's why I think it's important to address this topic as it relates to our physical, mental, and emotional health. And just as we used to say back in the early days of computers – garbage in, garbage out. We're learning more and more about the impact of what we eat on gut health and the impact of gut health on our overall wellness. In this episode, the Ingredient Guru, Mira Deesy, helps us get educated about the complex subject that is the food we eat. Mira is a nutrition professional, author, and a popular public speaker. She knows it's not just what you eat but what's IN what you eat that's important. She's author of The Pantry Principle: How to read the label and understand what's really in your food. Mira is a board certified holistic health practitioner whose mission is to educate and empower consumers. She curates the premier organic Lean and Green Subscription box. The monthly box is full of earth-friendly, healthy, sustainable products that are good for you, the planet, and your home. Mira is a member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior, and the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. She is a founding member of the Holistic Business and Wellness Alliance. Remember my guests and I aren't giving you specific business advice.

Listen in as Mira shares: Her success journey How to take control of your health through the food you eat Tips to get started or fine tune your healthy eating program Decision and behavior drivers that influence our food choices and eating habits The improvement people feel when they make changes to their eating How the food industry tries to trick us into eating food that's not as healthy for us as we'd like to think The importance of eating mindfully And we both share some tips to make healthy choices easy when we're working from home. As always, listen all the way to the end where I'll share your cocktail exercise and action step for this episode.

Here are two episodes I did with her: The Courage of Self-Care Can Meditation Help You Achieve Your Goals?   Mira talked about hydration and later, sent me the following extra information for you: We talked about the hydration factor. Here's how to figure out how much hydration you need. First, write down your body weight. Divide that in half for the number of ounces needed to be properly hydrated. Divide that number by 8 to get the number of cups of fluid. Take that number, divide it by four and then set a "hydration alarm" approximately every two hours. When the alarm goes off set your liquid in front of you with the goal to drink it before the alarm goes off again. Remember that this does not mean plain water. Too much water is not healthy either. Soups, herbal teas, food with lots of liquid (like watermelon), plus water all count towards a daily hydration goal. Also consider coconut water which is a perfectly balanced electrolyte beverage. Look for a brand with no additives. You can learn more about hydrating foods on the blog.  Join the Courageous Success Community  Are you an introverted, mission-driven coach, consultant, or other service professional with a big message and big mission to change the world?

It's my way of generating gas money for my long trips back home to South Jersey.  Show Notes If you're an entrepreneur, freelancer, solo professional who is also a former employee, the chances are very good that you've experienced some form of trauma at your past job.  Whether you've worked for abusive bosses or you've worked with difficult or even bullying peers, the chances are very good that you've experienced some type of emotional trauma at work and there's also a good chance that trauma scarred you in some way. In this episode,Tracey Maxfield recounts her experience with severe workplace bullying and how she's using her experience to help children around the world. Tracey is a nurse with over 37 years' experience. She is certified in gerontology and dementia care and is a regular guest on well-known author and radio host Peter Rosenberger's show Hope For the Caregiver on WLAC and iHeart Radio in Nashville, Tennessee. Tracey experienced her first episode of clinical depression in her twenties and lived with chronic depression ever since. However, nothing prepared her for the acute depressive episode she experienced in 2015. After enduring years of intense work place stress, harassment and bullying, she plummeted into an abyss of darkness, hopelessness and despair the likes of which she had never experienced before. Encouraged by a psychologist, Tracey started a blog, Escaping the Rabbit Hole - my life with depression, to better help her friends understand her depression. Over time, she began to heal and found that out of the darkness and despair, there is hope, there is life after depression. Since the release of the book (affiliate link) that grew out of her blog, Tracey has become a staunch advocate for mental illness and mental health awareness and bullying. She has met with children, teenagers and young adults to talk about bullying and mental illness and was one of the breakout presenters at the TEACH 2019 Conference in Jacksonville, Florida. Her website was recently awarded the silver medal for Best Author Website 2019 at the eLit Awards and her book is a top 10 finalist in the Non-Fiction category at the Author Academy Awards. Tracey has appeared in over 60 podcasts in the USA, Canada, New Zealand and UK, live radio shows and on ABC, NBC and FOX News. Her philosophy is to Engage children and teenagers, to Educate them about mental illness and bullying and to Empower them to develop confidence and skills to continue to move ahead in their own life journey. Born in Wales, U.K. Tracey moved to Canada in 1987. Escaping the Rabbit Hole my journey through depression is her first book and has received international rave reviews.

And it doesn't matter where you are in the business life cycle. Each new level of business success brings up the issue of "am I good enough" and "do I really deserve to make this kind of money". In this episode Tai Goodwin talks about the struggle we have with pricing and how we've got to get past it to build momentum and truly build the sustainable, profitable business we dream of and deserve.

Show Notes One of the many reasons we start our businesses is to get the freedom we want to build a life and a lifestyle that brings us joy. Yet, building that foundation can be a challenge and we often come face to face with our own emotional crap. In this episode, Alison Donaghey talks about her journey and the type of thinking that can hold female entrepreneurs back. A single mom at 20, Alison eventually went from collecting welfare to running a thriving house painting business. It took the 2008 recession for Alison to recognize that she had some holes to fill in her business and business-building knowledge. The recession led her to recognize how critical thinking is key to every situation and she realized she had something other than painting to offer people and business owners. She recognized her ability to look at a situation differently and anticipate potential outcomes was the seed that became Domino Thinking. Allison is the author of the international best-selling book, Think opposite – using the domino effect to change your business and change the world". Today, Alison speaks to entrepreneurs, small business owners and coaches about the power of critical thinking. She's also the host of Domino Thinking. The show is designed to get listeners to think about a different perspective, to suspend their beliefs, and consider the opposite view point.
