Get ready to join us on a deep dive into the connection between money and emotional wellbeing, especially for caretakers and entrepreneurs. We kick things off with our ritual “what’s in process, what’s in progress?” segment, digging into our experiences as caregivers and parents, the joys and challenges that come with it, especially when you’re juggling entrepreneurship. Bottom line: we’re not always getting (or giving ourselves) the support we need and it’s f*cking exhausting

We dive into fascinating research, highlighting how women are consistently underpaid and Anne shares why she's driven to change that narrative. Learn about eye-opening statistics and articles that shed light on this issue, making a compelling case for why financial empowerment is crucial for women's emotional and mental health. One particular study grabs our attention, exploring how much income it takes for a person to "feel" wellbeing, emphasizing that women often have to work even harder to ask for and achieve financial security.

We even have a little spoiler alert tossed into this episode, as we divulge how we’re creating a new suite of offers for our business, The Embodied Business Institute, called Profit for Wellbeing, that will increase our impact on helping women believe they can—and should—earn more.

And finally, we wrap things up by talking about how we suffer when either money or meaning are missing: if you experience unmet financial needs OR your work has lost or never had meaning and purpose, your wellbeing suffers and sometimes it feels impossible to correct course.

Tune in to get tips, insights, and inspirations on breaking this ugly cycle, and start asking “What is my relationship to making money, having meaning, and my emotional wellbeing?

In our latest episode, we delve deep into the growth we've experienced both in our partnership and our business. As we’ve navigated the challenges and triumphs of working together, we’ve learned so much about what it takes to grow not just as business partners, but as individuals committed to the same vision. Our journey has been one of continuous learning, where communication, trust, and a shared commitment to excellence have been our guiding principles.

One of the highlights of this episode is our conversation about a significant step in Anne's professional journey—a licensure in the Pricing Overhaul® Method. Anne shares her passion and commitment to shifting the all too often held belief by women that our work isn't as valuable as it really is. Well, since that's just pure bullsh*t, she's out to support women entrepreneurs in changing that in a big way.

We talk about the emotional and psychological barriers that often prevent us from increasing our prices—things like fear of losing clients, imposter syndrome, and societal expectations. We’re going all in for helping women overcome these barriers, giving themselves the raise they deserve, and ensuring that their pricing reflects the true value they provide.

And no show would be complete without a little nervous system insight. For the geeks out there, you'll love that we go a bit into how our nervous system plays a crucial role in how we approach business decisions, including pricing. We talk about the importance of pausing, reflecting, and stepping back when you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure. Get your NS online or else you're screwed. No tough decision can be made from a effed up nervous system…ha! And that's the truth.

Together, we explore the intersection of business growth, personal development, and well-being, offering actionable insights and heartfelt advice for women who are ready to step into their power, elevate their pricing, and create a sustainable, profitable business.

We hope this episode inspires you to take the next step in your journey, whether that’s reevaluating your prices, nurturing your partnerships, or simply pausing to appreciate how far you’ve come.

What is resiliency? In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of resilience—defined as the ability to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity. We share personal reflections on how we are navigating life's transitions, with a strong emphasis on the importance of making time for rest, restoration, and solitude. These moments of intentional downtime are not just about relaxation but are vital opportunities to rebuild and recharge, ensuring they can continue to face challenges with strength and grace.

The conversation takes a thoughtful turn as we discuss various strategies for repairing and recovering after dysregulations. Both of us (Anne & Chantill) offer insights into what resilience looks like for them personally, acknowledging that it’s a highly individualized process. Anne, in particular, introduces the idea of "containers of safety"—both internal and external spaces that provide a sense of security and support. She explains how these containers can vary greatly, from physical environments to mental and emotional frameworks, and the crucial role they play in maintaining resilience.

A key takeaway from this episode is the idea that the more we understand our nervous systems, the better equipped we are to sustain resilience. We also discuss how awareness of bodily signals, such as stress responses, can be a powerful tool in managing our reactions to stress and maintaining control in challenging situations.

The episode also touches on the habits and practices of high performers, particularly how we strive to maintain resilience in our demanding lives. Also, exploring the significance of being attuned to the signals of distress—whether signals manifest as physical symptoms, emotional disturbances, or cognitive challenges—and how recognizing these signals early can prevent burnout and breakdown.

Through honest reflections and practical strategies, we encourage listeners to be intentional about creating spaces for rest, to be mindful of their nervous systems, and to cultivate awareness as a means to navigate life's inevitable challenges with resilience and intentional grace.
