    Demystifying Money: Grounded, Tangible Ways to Build Wealth No Matter Where You’re Starting with Hannah Koenig

    Hannah Koenig is back on the show to discuss how to cultivate financial stability and sustainability. In part one of our conversation, we covered what’s going on in the coaching industry and how we’re working to address the systemic issues that we see in it. On today's episode, Hannah pulls back the curtain on how to heal your relationship to money, where to begin with your financial literacy journey, and the three stages of building wealth. It’s easy to see Hannah as the multiple six-figure CEO that she is today and think that she’s always had her finances figured out. The reality is that she grew up with a warped perception of money and didn’t trust herself to have a bank account less than ten years ago. She wanted to break the generational cycle of living in debt and constantly feeling stressed by money, so she tried all different methods to learn about wealth. What she discovered was that there’s only a small handful of financial products that are designed by women for women. So many of us are missing out on life-changing amounts of wealth and financial opportunities because of the major gaps in the market. Hannah has made it her mission to help entrepreneurs develop their financial intimacy and feel more empowered about their future. Listen in to hear her tangible and approachable advice for activating your financial abundance. Topics Covered: Why the majority of six-figure earners are living paycheck-to-paycheck How to recognize when you’re experiencing lifestyle and cash flow inflation The current systems and structures that exist within the financial sector that don’t benefit women and minorities Tips for creating a value-based budget Hannah’s opinions on investing in cryptocurrencies or other financial trends Resources Mentioned: Tax Free Wealth by Tom Wheelwright  Budgetnista’s Patreon Sequin Debit Card App for entry-level real estate investment Guest Info Visit Hannah’s website: hannah-koenig.com Follow Hannah here: @iamhannahkoenig If you want to be on Hannah’s email list to receive information for future wealth education courses and information, the easiest way to do that right now is to register for the free summit: https://leadwellsummit.com/bewe Learn More and Connect: Instagram: @theoramoench Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/relationshipdojo Relationship Dojo: truly-chosen.mykajabi.com/relationship-dojo Website: trulychosen.com Email Us: hello@trulychosen.com

    Examining The Coaching Industry: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly with Hannah Koenig

    Hannah Koenig is a business and financial educator, speaker, and the founder of The Lead Well Summit. She’s all about having grounded, tangible conversations about the coaching industry, and today’s episode is no exception. We unpack our observations and thoughts about the current state of the coaching industry, and ways that we can work to address certain structural problems. I believe in the power of coaching and I’ve experienced the magic that can happen on both sides of the client-coach relationship. But, for Hannah and I, there have been points where we’ve experienced a level of ethical and cognitive dissonance with the industry. Hannah describes the relief she felt when she gave herself permission to go against the typical emulation model and work in a way that was more aligned with her values and vision. We talk about the gaslighting, gatekeeping, and information siloing that often happens in the coaching industry. Hannah highlights the gaps in the awareness and priorities of a lot of business coaches, and what she’s doing to address those issues with her clients and community. We also touch on the reality of burnout and strategies to avoid it. Remember to tune in next week to hear part two of our conversation where we cover how to increase your financial power and build wealth. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Recognizing business models and structures that cause more harm than good Creating systems that serve the majority of coaches Digging deeper on the discomfort that Hannah and I have felt on our entrepreneurial journeys What an emulation model is and why it doesn’t work Why it’s so important to engage in real, honest conversations about coaching Guest Info Visit Hannah’s website: hannah-koenig.com Follow Hannah here: @iamhannahkoenig Register For Free Summit Here: https://leadwellsummit.com/bewe Learn More and Connect: Instagram: @theoramoench Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/relationshipdojo Relationship Dojo: truly-chosen.mykajabi.com/relationship-dojo Website: trulychosen.com Email Us: hello@trulychosen.com

    Liberation and Cannabis with Tekisha Harvey

    I’m joined by Tekisha Harvey, founder of TH Consulting, co-founder of CannaCurious, and Head of Marketing at FlowerHire, a premier cannabis recruiting agency. When Tekisha first started experimenting with cannabis, she felt like there wasn’t a space in the industry for high-achieving, professional women like herself to learn more and connect. Together with Diana Sanmiguel, she launched CannaCurious, a digital women’s magazine that showcases the many ways that cannabis can enhance a woman’s lifestyle. In our conversation, we peel back the layers of propaganda surrounding the cannabis industry. Tekisha shares what her cannabis journey has been like and highlights the positive ripple effect that it’s had on her life. She describes how she’s been able to take more ownership over her health, stand in her power, and uphold her boundaries. On a broader scale, we discuss how dismantling the stigma associated with cannabis is helping more women tap into their personal liberation. Tekisha and I also chat about the vision behind CannaCurious and how it’s evolved since its inception in April 2020. Through the growth and changes, the mission has remained the same: to give a voice to the marginalized communities who are transforming the cannabis industry and provide them with a platform to share their stories. Listen in to learn more about Tekisha and the inspiring work she’s doing around the education and accessibility of cannabis. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: What Tekisha loves most about working in the cannabis industry The history behind the Schedule I drug classification and some of the work being done to change that The intersection of cannabis accessibility, education, and personal liberation Cannabis as a tool to take an active role in your own care The ‘cannamom’ movement that is helping normalize parents and caregivers who use cannabis Guest Info Website: cannacuriousmag.com CannaCurious Instagram: @cannacuriousmag Tekisha’s Instagram: @tekishaharvey Learn More and Connect: Instagram: @theoramoench Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/relationshipdojo Relationship Dojo: truly-chosen.mykajabi.com/relationship-dojo Website: trulychosen.com Email Us: hello@trulychosen.com

  4. Response to the Overturning of Roe v. Wade

    07/19/2022

    Response to the Overturning of Roe v. Wade

    In my reflections on the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, I’ve been thinking about what sustainable activism means to me and what it takes to create true change. I’ve realized that the first step is to get really honest about what my country is and what it isn't. I’ve needed to adjust and let go of the idealized version of the US that I had in my head. Another part of creating real change is to regulate the nervous system. People in power are leveraging our dysregulated nervous systems to get us to show up on election day the way they want us to, donate our money, and get complacent. A major part of regulating the nervous system involves leaning into conversations that are challenging, even triggering, and staying in that complexity with people we love, unpacking ideas together, and holding each other accountable. Opting into long change requires more work than bickering with keyboard warriors on social media threads, but you have a greater impact in these nuanced, civil discussions. I'm more interested in efficacy and creating a world where women, children, people of color, indigenous, and LGBTQIA+ identifying folks are safer. I’m not perfect, but I’m dedicated to figuring out how to show up for those communities, rather than collapsing into this self-righteous desire to be angry and eventually burn out. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: What sustainable activism is and how I engage in it My thoughts on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade Conversations that I’m having with people of all different political backgrounds Why it’s so important to take yourself out of fight or flight mode before getting into political discussions Tapping into the power we have to educate the people around us Learn More and Connect: Instagram: @theoramoench Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/relationshipdojo Relationship Dojo: truly-chosen.mykajabi.com/relationship-dojo Website: trulychosen.com Email Us: hello@trulychosen.com

    Speaking Truth to Power with Anaïs Matthey-Junod

    Today, I’m joined by a Junior Energy Expert at the International Organization for Migration, Anaïs Matthey. I met Anaïs on the Antarctic expedition cruise that I went on last year and I was immediately drawn to her fearlessness when it comes to challenging conversations. We reflect on our thoughts about the carbon footprint and privilege that goes along with the expedition cruise, as well as the innovation and education that we experienced on that trip. A lot of Anaïs’s work is rooted in the intersection of climate change and social justice. We get into details of her current project in Mozambique, which is focused on improving energy access for people who have been displaced by the 2019 tropical cyclones, one of the worst storms on record to affect Africa and the Southern Hemisphere. We talk about the primary challenges linked to sustainable energy access and decarbonization efforts in displacement settings. Plus, we discuss the current technology available for bringing clean energy access to off-grid communities and how Anaïs is dedicated to empowering people experiencing displacement. Anaïs also touches on how she’s developed such a passionate, intimate relationship with sustainability and highlights some of the teachers and mentors who have inspired her along the way. We round out our conversation by sharing advice for people who want to dive deeper into learning about what they can do on an individual level to fight the climate crisis. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: The importance of celebrating innovation while also challenging greenwashing Fostering resilience in displaced communities by providing sustainable energy solutions An overview of Anaïs’s recent humanitarian trip to Mozambique How systems of power prevent advocacy and activism Why it’s crucial to do work that aligns with your values and contributes to wellbeing of our home planet Resources Mentioned: Anaïs's Antarctica article  CO2 Air Capture Guest Info Anaïs's Twitter Anaïs's LinkedIn Learn More and Connect: Instagram: @theoramoench Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/relationshipdojo Relationship Dojo: truly-chosen.mykajabi.com/relationship-dojo Website: trulychosen.com Email Us: hello@trulychosen.com

    The Magic of Queerness and Pleasure Activism with Terra Anderson

    I’m joined by Terra Anderson, the founder of Embody Emerge and the Queer Competency Certification. They are a leading voice for LGBTQIA+ inclusion in the sex education, health, and embodiment industries, and someone I personally consider my support system as I navigate my sexuality. I recently had the pleasure of taking their Queer Competency course in an effort to reconcile the deep incongruence between the business that I was leading and then the way I was living my personal life. Even though I signed up for the course for professional reasons, I ended up learning so much about my own queerness and how I show up in this world. We dive into what pleasure activism means to Terra and how they are creating work around it, specifically with their new course called Peace & Pleasure. We discuss how we can cultivate a deeper relationship with our own bodies as an act of liberation and embrace the radical spirit of queerness. We break down the superpowers of queerness and talk about queerness through the lens of history. I also unpack my feelings around coming out as queer and posting about it on social media. Topics Covered: The ways in which pleasure can be a revolutionary act Examples of pleasure activism My experience in the Queer Competency Certification Course How queerness in and of itself starts to liberate people, just by being in proximity to it Terra’s advice for people who don’t feel queer ‘enough’ What being in integrity and embodying my queerness means to me Resources Mentioned: Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good by Adrienne Maree Brown Queer Magic: Lgbt+ Spirituality and Culture from Around the World  by Tomás Prower Trans/Love: Radical Sex, Love & Relationships Beyond the Gender Binary by Morty Diamond  Podcast: According to Weeze Special Offer: Get 66% off the Queer Competency Certification Course Guest Info Upcoming Course: Pleasure & Peace with Louisa “Weeze” Doran & Terra Lyn Anderson Instagram: @embodyemerge Facebook: facebook.com/terraanderson.embodyemerge Learn More and Connect: Instagram: @theoramoench Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/relationshipdojo Relationship Dojo: truly-chosen.mykajabi.com/relationship-dojo Website: trulychosen.com Email Us: hello@trulychosen.com

    Life After Reaching the South Pole with Ben Saunders

    I’m joined by Ben Saunders, a record-breaking polar explorer, acclaimed keynote speaker, and climate tech investor. Ben is another incredible person that I connected with on my trip to Antarctica last year and I immediately knew that I wanted to have him on the show to share his story. He is one of three people in history to ski solo to both the North and South poles, he holds the world record for the longest ever polar journey on foot, and has covered more than 4,500 miles (7,242km) on foot in the polar regions since 2001. Ben and I chat about how he’s enjoying the process of storytelling, particularly sharing what’s happening in the polar regions and behind-the-scenes of what private companies are doing for the climate crisis. We touch on how growing up without a strong male role model gave him a uniquely blank slate and the freedom to pursue his interests, regardless of how outrageous they may have seemed to the people around him. His relationship to his purpose has changed since his first expedition, but his ability to break through his own limits and capacity has not. Ben describes his current mission of exposing the real Antarctica to young people and inspiring them to share the story of the region. The one thing that unites humans on these expeditions is the pursuit of peace and science, and Antarctica is a template for how we can actually get it right. Listen in to learn more about Ben and his takeaways from his years of polar exploration. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: What happened when Ben achieved his all-consuming goal that he’d been going after for 15 years Challenging the assumption that happiness exists in external validation The true freedom and possibility of Antarctica Rejecting binaries in all areas His hope and optimism about reversing the climate crisis Resources Mentioned: Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging by Sebastian Junger Guest Info: Website: bensaunders.com Instagram: @polarben Twitter: @polarben LinkedIn: linkedin.com/ben-saunders-polar TED Talks: ted.com/speakers/ben_saunders Learn More and Connect: Instagram: @theoramoench Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/relationshipdojo Relationship Dojo: truly-chosen.mykajabi.com/relationship-dojo Website: trulychosen.com Email Us: hello@trulychosen.com

    Creating the Life I Want Differently Than the Way I Wanted To

    Five years ago, I felt like I was ready for the person that I wanted to co-create life with. But since I came to that realization, I’ve found myself in two major relationships with people who had unhealed avoidant attachment systems, resulting in a lot of heartbreak and little progress towards building the life that I’ve dreamed of. My desire to find my collaborator and start a family has pressurized new connections, and when things haven’t worked out, my expectations and reactions have been disproportionate to the relationship. As a dating and relationship coach, it can feel frustrating that I can help others have these incredible breakthroughs in their romantic life, but I can’t seem to create for myself. I’ve decided to make a really bold decision regarding my home and motherhood, and I’ve noticed a huge shift in my approach to dating. This commitment has taken the pressure off finding my life partner because my dreams are no longer dependent on a relationship. I wanted to put this episode out there for anyone who feels like they’re caught in a waiting feedback loop. Let this be an example of how an unexpected decision towards what you really want can set you free from the disappointment of life not turning out exactly how you expected it to. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Accepting that life doesn’t always pan out the way we imagined it, but learning to embrace reality The moment I realized that I don’t have to stay stuck Plans for my future home in the San Juan Islands in Northern Washington Deciding to start a family on my own How this breakthrough has affected my love life Learn More and Connect: Instagram: @theoramoench Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/relationshipdojo Relationship Dojo: truly-chosen.mykajabi.com/relationship-dojo Website: trulychosen.com Email Us: hello@trulychosen.com
