Charlottesville in the US, marriage equality being debated in Australia. These are hugely important times. And never in the history of the world did we have a better chance to come together and create positive change. Everywhere I look I see people standing up and saying no to racism, to homophobia, to sexism. It’s a rare moment in history. A beautiful, rare moment when the voices of compassion and love and inclusion finally have the chance to come together and co-create something entirely new. Your voice is needed as part of that co-creative process. Will you speak up?… [Read More...]

It can be so easy to run your business based on the person you were – and the interests you had – 1, 3 or 5 years ago. But when you run a personal brand and you do a lot of personal development work, it’s important to ensure that the brand is keeping pace with you. In this episode of the Change the Game podcast I talk about the changes in my own visibility brand and the ways it’s responding to my own transformation and expansion. This is the fourth in the series of case studies, applying the Business by the Chakras method to a real world business and brand.

In this episode I speak about how to consciously draw in a Goddess energy and work with her. I focus specifically on Kuan Yin – the goddess of compassion, kindness and mercy – and take you through a series of ways for you to connect with her and to recognise when she’s working in your life. Consciously inviting a Goddess to work with you in your business and life is a beautiful thing. Listen into the episode to find out more!

In this episode of the Change the Game podcast I talk about my own practice in creating programs and services and some of the timeless principles I apply to keep me moving forward. They are: Start by keeping in mind that you’re building a body of work. For me that’s around the chakras, the divine feminine, and visibility. Then you want your guiding question to be; What does my community most need right now? Watch the trends, understand your industry and use your intuition. Don’t be afraid to be a student and learn from how others are serving their community. Allow yourself to be super creative in thinking up your offer and its content. Far too many people are simply replicating what’s already out there. If you need a prompt to get you moving, pre-sell your program or service before you pour a huge amount of time or money into … [Read More...]

In this episode of the podcast I share four tips for nurturing your tribe: Make sure that you’re connecting with them in some way so that not only are you sharing your ideas but you’re also getting feedback from them. Significant to this is automating the feedback loop. Irrespective of the size of your tribe, remember to pay attention to who’s showing up and get feedback from them. The key to growing your tribe is to nurture the people who are showing up today. Know that they will come to rely on you to be consistent. If people develop a habit around connecting with you then you need to live up to your end of the bargain. Don’t just show up for the sake of showing up. If you’ve run out of things to say about a topic, maybe you’re done. Maybe it’s time to pivot. Be honouring of the … [Read More...]

In this episode of the podcast I speak in detail about the draw every human has toward the material – into the physical experience and into our bodies – as well as the draw toward the spiritual. Anaharta – the heart chakra – is the intersection point between these two directions. It forms the balancing entity and when it’s blocked we’re not able to be truly effective in the world. From a business perspective, anaharta is about service; being of service to your community. It’s about emotional harmony and relationship with your Tribe. Nurturing them and listening to their needs. And then creating products and services off the back of that relationship. Dive into the episode to learn more! SHOW NOTES Chakra Alignment Classes: the class on anaharta is scheduled for Monday 14 August. Join us here. Change the Game Roadmap Change the Game Tribe… [Read More...]

As women, victimhood is something we’re used to identifying with. We’ve been pitched as the weaker sex, we’ve been told we’re not as intelligent as men, or as important or as strong. So the victim labels comes more easily to more women than the empowered label does. Our egos have become very attached to it. It gives us a reason to stay small. There’s always a benefit to remaining a victim. In this episode I identify some victimhood flags; jealousy, bitterness, illness, irrational anger, feeling stuck or like there’s a pattern that won’t shift, poor me. I also speak about the fact that we can get entrenched in victim energy with other people – employees v management, women v men (feminism has fallen into this trap many times of complaining rather than empowering), any us v them story you’ll find a victim component to it. Cleanest way to get out … [Read More...]

In this episode I speak all about overcoming doubt in business. Here’s the first thing to note about doubt; it’s based on the lie of separation which leads you down a rabbit hole of not being enough. The question that the ego is constantly asking itself is ‘Am I enough?’ Every time it asks the question it collapses, convinced that it’s not enough, or it bolsters itself up with false, positive self talk. What very rarely happens is making the choice to sit in the discomfort of the fear that arises from the belief of not being enough. In the episode I go onto speak in detail about 4 steps to take when you’re racked with doubt: Stop looking outside of yourself Understand your job (which is to become a full expression of yourself) Drop the victim stories and old bag lady fears; what if I’m judged, what if people … [Read More...]

In this episode of the podcast, I speak about the key data you want to track in your business. MONEY I don’t speak a lot about money or tracking your money in this episode because there are other episodes in the Change the Game series that cover this in detail. Here are two you might start with; Seven healthy money habits and Set yourself up for financial success. Obviously the big thing is to track your income and expenditure. You might also consider where your audience is coming from and therefore, which currency you want to charge in. As a general rule, make the financial side of things as simple as possible for you so that you can allow more of it.

This month the Change the Game podcast is all about manipura – the solar plexus chakra. It’s the third chakra and energetically and emotionally it’s all about personal power, self esteem, will power, self worth, living one’s own version of truth and unfolding of destiny. This is the place where the victim/bully relationship features most strongly and it’s one that many people struggle with. In terms of business, it’s where you move into actually committing to a course of action. You’re building a website and creating a lead magnet/opt in or perhaps building out your second or third sales funnel, starting with the opt in. You’re tracking your numbers and if you’re on the 3rd or 4th iteration of the 7 stages, you’re improving the functionality of your website . Really it’s all about confidence and commitment. Which is why many people stall here only to circle back … [Read More...]

In this conversation with Denise Duffield-Thomas we speak about a fascinating topic; sacred money archetypes®. Before diving into sacred money archetypes® though, we kicked off with a discussion around a money block you might have noticed in your own business; working on a project (whether it be a course, a book, or a product) and never actually releasing it. We discuss the fears around this; being seen (specifically, our fear of being seen to be lacking), and being paid for work that you’ve already completed. So often we resist marketing something we created in the past because we feel we’re cheating. So we focus on tweaking rather than marketing. Listen in to find out more! Denise and I then dive into a discussion around sacred money archetypes®. Money archetypes are your innate money personality. Learning about them helps you uncover your true strengths and double down on them, rather than … [Read More...]

In our visibility episode for this month, I share a portion of Retreats at Home multimedia program ‘Unlock your Creative Genius’ and invite you to consider that creativity might be something you allow to move through you, rather than a label you adopt for yourself. Here’s a snippet of what I share in the podcast; Many of us have these stories floating around in our heads about creativity. Somewhere along the way we picked up the idea that creativity was for other people; perhaps the ones that showed some aptitude in art class at school or who performed in the school musical. Perhaps we had parents who directed us towards sensible career choices when we were hankering to join the circus. Others of us had teachers who felt themselves to be the arbiter of talent in the area of writing, drawing, or sewing and deemed us ‘untalented’ or ‘unlikely to … [Read More...]

In this bookclub discussion we reflect on Elizabeth Gilbert’s book ‘Big Magic; Creative Living Beyond Fear’. The apparent dichotomy in the book between welcoming in the magic and being dedicated/working hard Accepting that in every profession there’s a ‘shit sandwich’ that you have to come to terms with if you’re going to persist with that career As a reader, taking different things from the book at different points in our lives Creation and destruction, allowing and resisting and whether creation is active at all times or whether there is a fallow aspect, a stillness to creativity Curiosity as an antidote to fear and shutting down when things don’t appear to be happening The essential role of trust in the creative process That it’s ok to fall into inactivity in our careers and creative journeys. In fact, it’s often (perhaps even always?) imperative to your progression. It’s such a juicy discussion! … [Read More...]

Welcome to stage 2 of the business building process! From a business perspective, this stage relates to: blocks to creativity, business partnerships, identifying your ideal customer, perfecting your elevator pitch, connecting with your ideal client, building your brand, creating and sharing valuable content, guest posting, mastering social media, hiring contractors and staff, exploring affiliate opportunities, refining your voice and look, acquiring professional photos, engaging a designer, upgrading your videos and audio recordings, and exploring other means of communicating with your audience. From an energetic perspective, we’re talking about Svadhisthana – the sacral chakra located 3 fingers below the navel. Svadhisthana connects to the reproductive organs, urinary tract, prostate, menstruation, lower back and the topics it covers are creativity, self expression, pleasure, honouring oneself and the people we’re with, connecting with them, procreation, desire, sexuality. It’s also the seat of the divine feminine and manifestation. Before (or while) you’re diving into … [Read More...]

What if the sacred, what if enlightenment and awakening, didn’t look like what you’ve been taught or experienced? What if your experience has been co-opted by a patriarchal mindset which pitches the everyday against the sacred? Where does that leave the mess of emotion and menstruation and childbirth and children and indeed, all things connected to womanhood? In positioning them as separate from the experience of sacred it excludes not just women from divinity, but seeks to suppress the divine feminine Herself. Even in women’s spaces we’ve found ways to deny our womanhood. So often we require women to behave as men. To act like we don’t have domestic responsibilities, or systemic barriers to participation. What if we could reclaim sacred? What if we could break down our ideas of how to access and experience it in everyday life? What might that look like? The invitation in this episode is … [Read More...]

In this episode I speak about the three parts to building real relationships on line: People need to know where to find you To decide which platform to engage with, consider where are your people, which one you enjoy, and which you can be consistent on. Then people know where to find you. If people don’t know where to find you then it’s very difficult for them to build a relationship with you! People have to know who you are As consumers we choose to engage with people with they know and understand. So the question to consider is; what are you messaging to people about yourself and your brand? Be sure you’re consistent and coherent. Work out your umbrella story and general message and then keep speaking about it in order for people to hear it and eventually, to pay attention. People need to know what you’re offering them… [Read More...]

In this episode I draw on my brand The Age of Visibility and use it as a case study for working in accordance with the Business by the Chakras approach. When I focus on stage two of the seven stages of building a business, in the Age of Visibility I’m currently focused on creating and sharing valuable content. Here’s how I’m doing that: I’m talking about visibility issues in social media, blocks to visibility, sharing articles, reminding women about how important their voices are I’m being asked to speak about the topic of visibility by other business owners and so every invitation I’m getting I’m accepting and this year I’ll start pursuing this even more I’m consciously contributing to the discussion around visibility in a valuable way – I’m linking my commentary back to the issues my community is facing I’m offering and refining my opt in which is … [Read More...]

How does the divine feminine relate to these issues of time, energy, and money? The four pillars of Change the Game are: 1. Businesses that aren’t built from a place of alignment waste time and money. 2. Alignment is all about connecting with your inner world and running your business from there. 3. The way we work is just as important as what we work on. 4. Business is changing. Masculine values, wisdom and power got us to where we are. Feminine values, wisdom and power will change the face of business in the 21st century. Because of this, each month you’ll hear an episode about feminine values and power and how it relates to building your business. My purpose in offering these episodes is for us all to dive more deeply into the feminine and have a dialogue about her and embed her energy into our businesses and lives.… [Read More...]
