Does no longer needing to fight mean you’ve become boring or uninteresting?    Can only the fight and grit keep people’s attention in your business? Or can calm be interesting too?   I wasn’t expecting to go here, but we did. On this week’s episode I invited Ashley Kruse, a dear friend and member of Emotional Leadership, to join me for a coaching session. Here’s the thing though - she’s coaching me! And in true Ashley fashion, it was a surprising yet beautiful and really profound coaching session. Join us for this discussion on what comes after the grit, whether I can embrace the good stuff calling me forward, and why at first the idea of not fighting completely messes me up.    We’re exploring:  Why you might be holding back the wave of good that’s ready for you Feeling more comfortable with the struggle than with success The fear of becoming boring if life starts getting easy A new season of Soft Leadership & how I’m leaning in What I’m committing to doing moving forward in my own work  Details on Emotional Leadership starting soon!

So, join us today for this quick but powerful session and find out what’s blocking Karen’s creativity and passion. Could it be what’s got you feeling stuck as well?    We’re exploring:  Why Karen feels stuck: Is it the pressure & restraints of consistency or something else?

What should you do when your client decides to compete with you?    Or, are you the client and you know it’s time to part ways with your coach? What should you say?    This can be a hard conversation to have, but it does come with the territory of having relationships. And today, my former & current client, Ellie Barclay, who supports entrepreneurs & founders to harness their genius so they can go ALL in on their life & business, is joining me for this discussion.

As leaders it can be scary to admit a change is necessary. You set out to do something new, announce it publicly, and then feel pressure to stick with it, despite knowing it’s not right. But in life, in business, and in relationships, change is expected. In this week’s episode, I’m pulling from my own life and the recent changes I’ve had to make and I’m letting you in on the details. It’s not easy, but if you set out to stay aligned with your integrity, you just might find that making those hard decisions and having those hard conversations can change your life for the better. It’s all about alignment and change this week. It can be sticky, but it can be so good! So, let’s dive in!  I’m exploring:  How I decided a change in my recent program was necessary and what about the program felt misaligned with my integrity The positive outcomes I’ve experienced since making this uncomfortable decision If, as a leader, you’re allowed to change direction and what it means if you do How the fear of judgment can keep you misaligned in your business and life Questions to ask yourself about your alignment What to do after you’ve accepted that a change is required   And so much more!   Find out more about my work and dive in at https://jenunderwoodleadership.com/ or come shoot me a message on IG! https://www.instagram.com/jenunderwoodleadership/

What should you do when your client is pulling back or looking for a way out? Should you let them go?    What if you’re the client and the container isn’t what you thought it would be and you want out? Should you ghost them? Confront them?    This is what I’m getting into today: How to show up as a client AND as a leader when it just doesn’t seem to be working out. I recently went through this with a student and in a beautiful turn of events, that’s exactly who’s joining me for this conversation today. Corrie Taylor is the founder of Kanika Therapy: a revolutionary bone and belief trauma release modality, she’s the Alchemical Medicine Woman and Body of Business Embodiment Coach, and she’s a client of mine in the Emotional Leadership Program.

How can you be more emotionally available to those you lead? What does it mean to lead from the front of the room? On this episode I'm bringing back this fantastic interview with Tim DeSutter, fellow coach and mentor in the field of wellness and personal development, and we discuss how it might not mean what you think. What happens when we say “I will go first”? Offering a bit of yourself to those you lead, could help you both see exponential growth. Dive in with us to hear how!   I’m exploring:   The difference between leading FROM the front and being IN the front of the room What it means to be a vulnerable leader and model the work for others How showing up in and for our community as an equal makes us better leaders - get rid of the “teacher chair” Where leading in the corporate world differs from the personal one and where it can be the same The “old” vs “new concepts of leadership and how your own humanity plays a huge part Learning to let go of the shame block from our cultural and religious environments before we can help others do the same How YOU can snag a spot to work with Tim this summer!   And so much more!   The next cohort of Emotional Leadership is enrolling now!

What is your automatic, go-to response? Are you prone to reacting rather than pausing to check in to see what’s real for you? And what is it that you truly want? What is it that your heart is calling for? Do you know?    These can be difficult questions for some to answer and that’s OK. Join me today as I welcome Julie Pulido into this conversation on finding your truth and finding what feels good and right for you in a world that tells us all to fit in and go with the flow. Julie’s a long-time client of mine. She’s a mentor and a teacher helping people bring themselves back home, to themselves, on their journey to finding peace and alignment. So often we find ourselves not really in the driver seat of our own life, being pushed this way and that, reacting and never checking in. So, what can you do about it? What did Julie do about it? Come, find out!    We’re exploring:  How we, as humans, all react at times, but is it OK? And what should come after?  What it looked like for Julie to be disconnected to self, when it ALL began to change, and what sped up the connecting process for her The misconception of understanding trauma (even for those well educated in psychology!) Julie’s experience shoving it all down as a high-functioning codependent (sound familiar?) & where she is NOW! Experiencing joyful moments v. intentionally accessing joy: what’s the difference? Why making business changes when they’re right for you can make all the difference!  How the Emotional Leadership program impacted Julie & the magic of community that’s waiting for you Plus much more!    You can connect with Julie at www.manifestyoucoaching.com   Sign up the Emotional Leadership program here: https://jenunderwoodleadership.com/the-emotional-leadership-certification Find out more about my work and dive in at https://jenunderwoodleadership.com/ or come shoot me a message on IG! https://www.instagram.com/jenunderwoodleadership/

You can be stirred. You can be activated. You can have things you need to work on and still stay in the process, still stay in your life, AND lead it. This work is deep. It’s potent. It can even be painful at times, but is it worth it?     As we wrap up the year in the Emotional Leadership program, I’m excited to welcome students to share about their experiences in this container and in themselves on their leadership journeys. Today, I’m joined by Inger Brown. As a somatic practitioner, Inger is dedicated to helping clients find spaciousness with greater connection to self, and do the work of self-remembering. As we often find, so much of what we teach is what we’re learning ourselves. So, join us today for this gentle exploration of all that Inger has learned and experienced within this program. Does she consider herself a leader now? Was the program worth it for her in the end? Does this program work for those that prefer a slower approach? And what does it have to offer YOU? Listen in to find out!    We’re exploring:  One of Inger’s most challenging moments within the container: how she worked through it and how the group dynamic impacted that moment  How this program can help you refine your intuition A BIG misconception surrounding what readiness is and what it requires  What feels lighter for Inger as the program wraps up: what has she let go of? What are you carrying within you? The richness in differences: what you can learn from the coed group experience And much more!   You can connect with Inger on:www.apothecaryoftherose.com IG: @ingergaybrown FB: inger.brown.96   Find out more about my work and Emotional Leadership at https://jenunderwoodleadership.com/ or come shoot me a message on IG! https://www.instagram.com/jenunderwoodleadership/  Inger works with her clients to create the spaciousness within that allows them to be connected with themselves, their intuition, creativity, and desires. She walks with them on the journey of self-remembering, a reclamation of all that allows them to call their lives sacred.

Change is scary. And it’s hard enough in your personal life, but I’ve often found there is even more fear and confusion when you feel called to change and grow in your business. You might be thinking, “Can you even DO that as a leader or business owner? Won’t your audience get confused or think you’re flaky?”   In today’s episode I want to answer those questions for you as well as walk you behind the scenes of one of my upcoming big business changes.   So if you’ve also been feeling called forth into something new in your life or business or you just want an inside peek at the mindset behind someone else’s big shift, you don’t want to miss this one.   I’m diving into: What makes our fears around shifting and changing so difficult and crunchy The thing we actually need to do in order to uplevel as business owners and thought leaders Reflections on my last major rebrand and how a new upcoming rebrand for me feels so different Examples of fears you might have during a phase of releasing the old and stepping into the new, and sharing some of mine during my current rebrand   Find out more about my work and dive in at https://emotionaldominatrix.com/ or come shoot me a message on IG! https://www.instagram.com/the_emotional_dominatrix

If you’re anywhere on your own path of personal development, you’ve probably at one point or another had a thought like, “does this ever END?!” We’ve all been there, right? But on today’s episode I want to invite you into a different way of looking at it that’ll actually make you a better leader AND enjoy the process so much more.   I’m joined today by Tim DeSutter, my co-facilitator in Emotional Leadership, to share with you the answer to that question, a new definition of leadership to consider, and THIS shift we each made in our journeys that changed everything.

How do we balance the side of ourselves that only finds worth in winning the one that understands the journey is the success? We can change how we define a “win”! Katie Kozel is challenging herself with this today. Katie is a sex, love & relationship coach who is dedicated to unshaming sexuality.

Sometimes, it can be hard to get to the root of what is really holding us back. We may place our focus on one area and fail to see our true barriers. This is where a coach can come in and offer perspective we may not see ourselves. Today, I am so lucky to have Laura Foster on the show helping me find the source of my hesitations.

What does it take for you to feel/be emotionally safe? Whose responsibility is that safety? We’re continuing the conversation we started a few weeks ago about trigger warnings, with a serious discussion around the difference between safety and comfort. While people in leadership roles have a responsibility to create a safe space, we also have a personal responsibility to keep ourselves emotionally safe. It’s incredibly common and sometimes controversial to mix these two up and I am excited to dive into what it means to feel safe inside ourselves, and how we can take that into our personal and professional lives.   Let’s explore:   Taking ownership of our emotional safety Knowing what makes you feel emotionally unsafe and honoring those boundaries How emotional safety differs from physical safety The “buzz phrase” that has become a “crutch” Asking yourself where your responsibility lies as a leader to foster safe environments Encouraging vs promising - what can we offer to those in our containers My challenge for you surrounding emotional safety both as a leader and as an individual   Mentioned in this episode: The Things We Carry - Ep. 20: TW: I Don’t Issue Trigger Warnings https://linktr.ee/jenunderwood    Find out more about my work and dive in at https://emotionaldominatrix.com/ or come shoot me a message on IG! https://www.instagram.com/the_emotional_dominatrix

What is a trigger really? You may have noticed the current trend of offering a trigger warning before content you are about to absorb. Maybe it has made you pause, or potentially even avoid that content altogether, but what good does that really do you?  Today we are talking about how a trigger warning differs from a true trauma response disclaimer, and why I choose NOT to issue trigger warnings in my own work. It’s a controversial topic for sure! Join me to hear the reasons why I think these warnings are more harmful than helpful.   We’re exploring:   What a trigger warning is and why people use them The true definition of triggers and how we can see them as an opportunity for growth How offering trauma warnings in certain situations can still be necessary The foundational skill of feeling uncomfortable and activated but not act When it is useful or necessary to graphically describe trauma vs times we can/should leave it out Your right as a leader to be honest about where you come from and the challenges you have overcome.     And so much more!!   Find out more about my work and dive in at https://emotionaldominatrix.com/ or come shoot me a message on IG! https://www.instagram.com/the_emotional_dominatrix

Is it irresponsible to invest in yourself? In your business? What if money is tight, how can you know it’s the right decision to take that leap? And is it OK to ask others to invest in themselves?    These are tough questions to work through, but sometimes you’ll find that what’s holding you back isn’t what you thought it was. Today, I sit down with Claire Standen. She’s a single mother, an entrepreneur, and a coach running the Wildwoman Project, working to reclaim the wildness of spirit in herself and in her clients.

It’s easy to think you’re not doing enough and that you can do better: in leadership, in parenting, or just life in general. But odds are you ARE doing enough, more than enough, and it’s time to celebrate it! Today’s guest is an expert in celebration. She’s the ultimate hype girl and dream coach. She empowers entrepreneurs and creatives to uncover their magic, show up as their most authentic selves, and create a life of meaning. My friend, Dr. Taryn Weil, joins me today to examine this idea of celebration and question the nuance around delusional thinking - is it healthy or unhealthy?

Sometimes your life’s path is predetermined. You grow up, you go to school, receive training for a certain career and stay on that path for many years, maybe even for the entirety of your professional life. But what happens when you decide a change is needed in the middle? What happens when you want to explore the unknown and forge a new trail in your life, one that’s less expected, maybe even less “safe”?   Today, I’m joined by a client that’s never been coached before. Dr. Tony Trinh is an infectious disease physician and he’s decided it’s time for a change. He’s moving from Seattle to Texas, but for the first time in his life, his next professional step isn’t planned out and it’s uncomfortable. Listen in as we dive into what he can learn from checking in with his body and what he can trust (and even verify!) about himself and his support system. The body knows and tells us what’s right before we can make sense of it in our head. But are you taking the time to check in and listen?    We’re exploring:    What inspired Tony’s change of direction: Find out if this career change was planned and if medicine is still in his future.  Lessons in nature: what we can learn about our own body from what plants show us The questions Tony asked himself that led him to know it was time for change Fear of failure: where he’s feeling it and what failure could look like in Tony’s life (Can you relate?) A visualization exercise: Tony is taking a hike! But will he stop to take a look or forge ahead?  And much more!   Find out more about my work and dive in at https://emotionaldominatrix.com/ or come shoot me a message on IG! https://www.instagram.com/the_emotional_dominatrix

We’re back with another coaching session where we flip the script and I get coached. Today, I’m joined by Rachel “Rae” Halder. Rae is a somatic trauma resolution practitioner with a mystical and energetic approach to healing. She weaves natural elements and sexuality into her unique methods and she’s here today to guide me with my own trauma work. It’s rare for me to feel this comfortable, but something about Rae’s work and her energy excites me. Join us for this deep dive session into the all or nothing mentality, what that brings up for me, and how Rae helps guide me to find the gray area, that middle ground. If you find yourself needing high stress, emergency situations to get work done, let’s get into it! We’re digging into that and much more on today’s episode, let’s get started!   We’re exploring:  The feeling of imbalance and instability in the body and the world  Patterns that persist when the pressure is on The lies we tell ourselves about what makes a person good and successful Breaking down the need to “save the world” (does it even need saving?) What to do with our fight mode and when we should access it  A helpful metaphor for slowing down and tending to what’s needed in the moment  And much more!

As leaders it can be scary to admit a change is necessary. You set out to do something new, announce it publicly, and then feel pressure to stick with it, despite knowing it’s not right. But in life, in business, and in relationships, change is expected. In this week’s episode, I’m pulling from my own life and the recent changes I’ve had to make and I’m letting you in on the details. It’s not easy, but if you set out to stay aligned with your integrity, you just might find that making those hard decisions and having those hard conversations can change your life for the better. It’s all about alignment and change this week. It can be sticky, but it can be so good! So, let’s dive in!    I’m exploring:    How I decided a change in my recent program was necessary and what about the program felt misaligned with my integrity The positive outcomes I’ve experienced since making this uncomfortable decision If, as a leader, you’re allowed to change direction and what it means if you do How the fear of judgment can keep you misaligned in your business and life Questions to ask yourself about your alignment What to do after you’ve accepted that a change is required   And so much more!   Find out more about my work and dive in at https://emotionaldominatrix.com/ or come shoot me a message on IG! https://www.instagram.com/the_emotional_dominatrix  

The pressure can add up can’t it? The different roles we fill and the various people we care for can be a lot. So what can we do when it feels like it’s too much to carry, too much to hold? Join me today for a coaching session with Heather.

So let’s lighten that load!   We’re exploring:    What it can look like when you only trust yourself Children as a reflection of you; what parenthood teaches us about ourselves  Flight and fight: Why the “all or nothing” pattern can be a symptom of both Heather’s journey with motherhood, her ups and downs Holding space for others v. holding others and why that distinction can lighten your load When others rely on us and how that pressure can add up to be too much at times An easy exercise in removing the pressures and allowing trust to come in And so much more!

What would you do to find love and acceptance for yourself?  How would you dive in fully to closing the gap between how you see yourself and how others see you? We all “walk” through our lives, sometimes walking for ourselves and sometimes for others.  Today I am chatting with my dear friend Varun Penamatsa, who is doing it literally, as he undertakes walking the entire Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). Varun is working on finding love for himself one mile at a time (for 2700 miles!), and learning to offer himself the same compassion he offers to others.  Sometimes all you can do is take that next step. Join us as we get into the why and how of this adventure and how he stays true to himself along the way.   Today we are focusing on: The mental and physical work involved before you ever get to the trailhead, whether literal or figurative Accepting all your parts, and give them all space and permission to exist How consistencies can be important to hold onto when taking on something monumental, for both the difficult times and the celebrations Why limiting distractions is necessary even when spending time alone Learning what motivates us and why that can be more important than the action The love letter V wrote himself and how that has become an important daily touchstone Letting go of holding onto anxiety and learning to recognize and acknowledge it to move forward Varun’s favorite moments of the trip so far and what he looks forward to   And so much more!   Varun is a passionate student, teacher, and advocate of all things health and the human condition. A marketer by trade, he’s oriented his life around the practice of observation and self progression. Aside from deep diving into everything from yoga and meditation to western medical practices and everything in between, you can generally find him doing something outdoors. He’s currently hiking 2700 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail in a practice of self love (follow his journey on Instagram @varuney).   Find out more about my work and dive in at https://emotionaldominatrix.com/ or come shoot me a message on IG! https://www.instagram.com/the_emotional_dominatrix

We’ve all heard the phrase about putting on our own oxygen mask before we help others do so or giving from a full cup rather than an empty one, but have you stopped to think why that concept exists? Have you paused to reflect on if that’s a practice you’re actually taking the time to do? As leaders, we can struggle to take care of ourselves. There’s always more to do and more people to help, leaving you empty, burnt out, and stuck in a pattern that isn’t serving you. Today, I’m exploring this topic of putting ourselves first. I’m diving into why this practice is so hard, yet so important. If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty with nothing left to give (but then still giving more), listen up! This one's for you!    I’m discussing:    Maintaining energy reserves: is it selfish or just plain smart? Why the practice of self-care is SO hard to do for those in helping professions and how our society isn’t helping us My experiences with burnout and what I’m still learning Connecting our energy to the concept of breath A practical visualization exercise for managing your energy levels  Where generosity might flow from and what that has to do with a centered self Plus more!   Find out more about my work and dive in at https://emotionaldominatrix.com/ or come shoot me a message on IG! https://www.instagram.com/the_emotional_dominatrix

Today I sit down with Tim DeSutter, fellow coach and mentor in the field of wellness and personal development, and we discuss how it might not mean what you think.
