Ya know that feeling when you meet a #BizBestie and you just GET each other? That's me and my "cuz" Melinda Jackson. We both have plenty of experience in the coaching industry, both as clients and as imperfect leaders. Myself as an Indigenous, disabled, neuro-spicy woman. Melinda as a Black, nonbinary, Queer, neuro-spicy person. We have thoughts on some of the practices in the industry, such as...

• The "invisible offer" trend that we find alarming
• The hyper binary "feminine energy" spaces
• The word salad and fluff I've paid thousands for
• "Celebrity" coaches and culty vibes
• How do these millionaires sleep at night...or do they?
• The crumbling of colonial, toxic coaching

And so much more, including our own "cringey eras" and how we've evolved from them and continue to be ever-evolving and learning. The audio is wonky, the conversation is unplanned and a bit all over the place, and this is totally unfiltered - but we hope you enjoy it. Let us know!

Tag me @emilyannebrant and Melinda @getcalled in on Instagram once you listen and let us know if you'd like to see this turn into a regular podcast.

Sign up for The Round Table: Decolonize Your Coaching Business at www.emilyannebrant.com/trt-live .

Dear beautiful caring, compassionate, empathic human. I know you're tired. I know the state of the world is often frightening, and even enraging at times. I know it's overwhelming when you're a change maker and feel like the entire world needs your help but you're just one person! If that's you - consider this your soothing balm "pep talk" (this is as peppy as I get lol).

I'm here to remind you and shout from the rooftops that your ripple effect matters. Tend to what's right in front of you, take breaks, then keep going. You are making such a huge impact and the world is better because of you.

Inhale: I'm worthy of ease. Exhale: I choose simplicity. Consider this your official permission slip to choose easy and protect your energy like it's your most precious resource - because it kinda is. These are my lessons from cancelling a program and all of the spaciousness and insight that has come with it.

How do you weave your values into your business? How do you market effectively within your own area of focus while still examining and acknowledging power and privilege, which are always at play? How do you stand out in 2024 and beyond, with the ever-changing landscape of online business and the state of the world? These are all questions I had for Tristan Katz and I know you will so appreciate this conversation.

Tristan Katz (they/he) is a writer, educator, business consultant, and equity-inclusion facilitator specializing in culturally competent marketing strategies and LGBTQ+ Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging (DEIB) training and consulting. As a longtime student of social movements and social justice, Tristan’s work centers on values-focused content development, the exploration of power, privilege, and oppression, and the intersection between solidarity and marketing.

Yoga and yogic principles are so powerful and exactly what we need in these turbulent times. Yet, the way we've been "sold" yoga in the West truly needs to shift in a way that honours Yoga's true roots and Susanna Barkataki has been leading that shift for years now.

Susanna Barkataki (she/her) has been called “a trailblazing yoga leader and visionary for our times.” An Indian teacher building bridges in the West, she is known for her work in decolonizing and embracing the roots of yoga.

She is a tech founder of Yoke Yoga, a SAAS company to bring yoga socially to all people to help solve everyday problems. She also founded Ignite Institute for Yogic Leadership and Social Change, award winning programs in yoga and wellness, to train students in using authentic spiritual tools to create positive social change.
