From psychedelic experiences to increasing your prices, how do you expand in a way that feels safe for your nervous system?

We often want the quick fix, we want problems to be solved quickly and we want that miracle pill.

People want to jump into the deep end without really understanding the preparatory and integrative work that is needed to truly benefit from such an experience.

And similarly, in our personal and professional lives, we need to allow ourselves the space to expand gradually. It's about building that foundation step by step, and honoring the process of growth. When we force ourselves to leap too far, too quickly, it often leads to overwhelm and burnout, which is counterproductive to our goals.

So, whether it's pricing our services, taking on new clients, or even expanding our personal boundaries, it's important to respect where we are in our journey. Take those incremental steps, and trust that with each step, our capacity to handle more will naturally increase.

Meeting your edge is so personal and unique. It's about understanding your own limits and then gently pushing them, not leaping into something that feels completely out of reach. By doing this, we honour our own pace and create sustainable growth that aligns with our true selves.

Us human folk often crave comfort.

You know the ice cream and comfy couch while we watch our favourite movie. There’s nothing wrong with that don’t get us wrong, only if we’re doing it to avoid doing the things that are on our priority list

But the problem is that we don't allow ourselves to feel uncomfortable emotions in a healthy way. Instead, we let them fester, and they manifest in unproductive or destructive behaviours.

This is why authenticity and vulnerability in business are so crucial. When we're not honest about our capabilities, we create unrealistic expectations for ourselves and our clients. This dishonesty not only puts unnecessary pressure on us but also undermines trust.

It may feel vulnerable to admit our limitations, but it sets a realistic foundation for the relationship. It also provides an opportunity for growth—learning new skills intentionally rather than out of fear of being exposed as inadequate.

By embracing vulnerability, we foster genuine connections. When we hide behind facades, we prevent true understanding and collaboration.

In the digital age, where social media often pressures us to present a perfect image, it's important to remember that showing our human side can be powerful. It filters out those who don't resonate with us and strengthens our connection with those who do.

What's the essence of having an authentic business?

We discuss personal branding, and emotional fulfillment in business.

We talk about avoiding the trap of blindly following blueprints and templates other business owners set out for you and how this all comes back to imposter syndrome - because when you feel like an imposter you don't trust yourself and you don't trust your own expertise leading you to feel like you need to follow someone elses strategy.

We want to emphasize the importance of creating unique offerings that align with your personal values and life circumstances rather than mimicking others. Copying is never a good strategy.

We advocate for intuitive decision-making and staying true to yourself while contributing to the collective.

Our conversation underscores the significance of balance, authenticity, and mindfulness in achieving sustainable business growth and personal fulfillment.

How did your teenage years shape how you exist now in the world? And what can we learn (or un-learn) from her? She has wisdom tucked away that we're keen to utilize.

We discuss the authenticity, rebelliousness and unbridled freedom we felt during that time, unburdened by the expectations and pressures of adulthood.

Our inner teen years were more carefree, unapologetically diving into experiences without overanalyzing or fearing consequences—a big contrast to the more cautious approach we sometimes get stuck with into adulthood.

We recognize the patterns and behaviours from our teenage years that still influence us today, both positively and negatively. This reflection inspires a deeper understanding of how our past experiences can inform our present choices.
