Lisa returns to chat more about what it means to bring “all of yourself” to your business. She shares the ways she lives her values in and through legal coaching, plus the challenges (and opportunities) of being spiritual in a secular business world.

What if the law was based in love?

It can be, as my guest this week explains. 10 years ago, Lisa Fraley brought her passion for the law together with her skills as a life and health coach to create a new service - Legal Coaching. (I was in the room as her ideas were coming to life!)

She’s on a mission to help small business owners understand that the law can be accessible, empowering, loving and even spiritual - and she’s already helped thousands of holistic practitioners and licensed medical providers in this way.

One of my favorite concepts that Lisa “downloaded” along her path was that legal protections align with the chakras.

PS: I’m working with her, as you’ll discover during our conversation. 🙂

We talked about:

• Burnout - it doesn’t always look as you’d expect
• Recovery - from hustle culture
• How to ask for rest
• The power of a “rest-first” approach

Melissa Kelley is creative, nurturing, present, loving and connected - these attributes express through motherhood, friendships, coaching, authoring, podcasting and more. Right now, she is committed to REST. What does this look like? How does she cultivate rest in a world of hurry? It’s radical, and I hope you’re inspired to rebel, recover and come into your own rhythm as you invite more rest into your days.

What does it mean to hold space?

Have you had the experience of being held?

I sat down with an expert space holder, Ashley Burnett to discuss. The first time I walked into Ashley’s retreat space, I sat on a cushion and tears flowed immediately. It was years ago, at an overwhelming time in my life. I had said yes to too many projects, and had lost track of why I was doing any of them.

Just one day of being guided and held by Ashley relieved most of the pressure, and provided the window of clarity I needed to make my next moves. Ultimately, through working with Ashley, I starting working half the hours and making twice the money. I know that sounds wild, or made up, but it’s true.

The perspective and time to hear my own thoughts made all of the difference. It may sound like magic, but it’s actually skillset - a skillset that Ashley teaches, and why I invited her on to share some of her insights, and invite us all to her upcoming workshop series, and program.

Ashley has 3 Free Workshops coming up (they each cover different topics, and build on each other - sign up for one and you’ll be invited to all of them):

What if procrastination is part of your process? What if rest has inherent value, and needs no justification? Lazy is a term of manipulation designed to create shame that is causing real harm. Join me for a discussion, and let me know your thoughts!

Earlier this year, I was honored to be invited to be a guest on a new podcast called Business as Activism. The host, Elijah Selby, is a dear friend, colleague, founder of Feminine Rising AND was the first guest on my podcast!

I asked Elijah about sharing our conversation with you, and she was all for it. (Don’t you just love cross-pollination opportunities!?)

So… this week I bring you a unique episode of A Path of Her Own.

We talked about:

• How “growth at any cost” is a problematic business model
• Alternative models
• How we got here (origins of the way business is done in the US)
• Examples of businesses doing things more centered on humanity, and the planet
• Practical steps we can take to have business become an agent of positive change (individually and collectively)

Bonus Episode: Nina, an expert instructional designer, answers the question “What can I do to create more inclusive spaces?” with the essential “3 C’s”
