When it comes to relationships, women leaders are expected to be healers. Weâre taught to smooth ruffled feathers, soothe old wounds, and repair breaks and tears.
But that repair work takes enormous energy. If youâre wasting it on propping up relationships that no longer nourish you, what do you have left for the people who make your heart feel full?
Laura and I are wrapping up our season on Growth as a Removal Process by looking at the connections we have with other people, and why we hold onto them even when they arenât good for us. Weâre giving ourselves and our listeners permission to evaluate our relationships honestly, to prioritize our time and energy, and to evolve or let go of connections that take more from us than they give.
Join us as we discuss:
Why itâs so difficult to think about making changes to a relationship, and how fear of that change can short-circuit our attempts to understand its impact.Listening to the vital messages we get from our bodies about how our relationships affect us.Strategies to help you initiate the evolutionary process, including owning your truth and setting self-honoring boundaries.Where can you follow Sonya:

Each one of us has our own Truth. Itâs the sum of our deepest needs, our dearest values, and our most strongly held beliefs. Unfortunately, women leaders are trained to hide parts of themselves, or to water them down to keep other people comfortable.
This episode of Women in the Business Arena is about the power of truth-telling. Not just speaking truth to others, but owning our own Truth and honoring ourselves.
Whatâs standing between you and telling your whole Truth? Is it self-doubt, fear of rejection, or the assumption that youâre just Too Much? Laura and I will help you identify and remove those obstacles to being your authentic self, and discover the growth energy we uncover when we stop hiding our essential selves.
Join us as we discuss:
Starting our truth-telling with the most important person in our lives: ourselves!Connecting to and trusting your body to help you understand your truth.The unbelievable energy savings we realize when we donât have to guess at each otherâs emotional states.Trusting ourselves and our energy, and allowing ourselves to express them without fear.Where can you follow Sonya:

One of the strongest barriers between us and the growth weâre seeking is internal and invisible. Itâs rooted in the ways women were taught that certain parts of us are good and meant to be nurtured, while others are bad and should be rejected. We waste so much energy trying to block off or hush up feelings that weâre taught to fear.
Laura and I want you to know that all the parts of your very human self are worthy. When we honor all our emotions and energies, we can turn our time and energy to integrating them, and moving forward as our whole, complete, authentic selves.
In this episode in our series on growth, weâll help you start to remove the obstacles between you and the self-acceptance and self-love you deserve.
Join us as we discuss:
Reclaiming the energy we waste trying to fix ourselves.Looking at the parts of yourself as aspects to allow rather than problems to solve.The ways that integrating our whole selves helps us identify our priorities and make choices that are aligned with our values.The title and theme of this episode were inspired by âThe Guest House,â a poem by Rumi. https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/guest-house/

When it comes to marketing, so many of us are doing Too Much. Social media, networking events, client calls, live video: the options are practically infinite. Trying to be everywhere at once is a recipe for disillusionment and burnout. Diluting ourselves doesnât just sap our life force, it wastes our time and waters down our impact.
This week, we continue our seasonâs theme around how Growth is a Removal Process. We ask a vital question.
How can you simplify your marketing to increase your impact, conserve your energy, and meet your ideal clients where they are?
Iâm excited to explore this topic with Nedra Rezinas. Nedra is a marketing consultant who helps service-based entrepreneurs learn to delegate and outsource so they can scale their business and do more work in their âzone of geniusâ. She has over 20 years of direct experience in marketing and online business, specializing in developing custom marketing strategies that attract high-value clients.
Join us as we discuss:
Why itâs so important to have a deep understanding of who your ideal client is and where to find them.The lure of social media, and how to step away if itâs not working for you.Strategies that focus on your strengths and the tasks that excite you, instead of one-size-fits-all content generation.The benefits of generating and repurposing your evergreen content to help your ideal client find you.Where can you follow Nedra Rezinas:

When you hear the word âresource,â what do you think about? If youâre like most of us, what comes to mind is external. Money, time, employees, training: theyâre all things that come from outside ourselves.
External resources are limited and finite. But inside each of us is an unlimited reserve of power & strength. This week, Laura and I talk about what we can embrace when we stop looking outside ourselves for sustenance and return to the infinite sources of power inside ourselves.
Join us as we discuss:
Why itâs so important to know and tap into our core selves.The freedom we unlock when we access Self and develop our internal resilience. Techniques you can integrate into your busy life that will help you begin to focus more fully on your amazing inner strength.Where can you follow Sonya:

In our culture, women are expected to âkeep it all togetherâ even when the pressure is pulling us apart. We are expected to hold space for others when we donât even have space for ourselves. We shame ourselves for feeling fear or needing comfort. And we carry these ideas into our community spaces.
This week, weâre giving women (including ourselves) permission to remove that pressure and abandon the illusion of âhaving it all togetherâ. We are also encouraging you to seek out spaces to be your authentic self.
Investing in spaces that give you permission to truly be yourself can transform your life and work. It shifts your relationship with your values, your desires, and your power and helps you access your full potential.
In a personal, intimate conversation, Laura and I explore the power we unlock when we allow ourselves room to be vulnerable.
Why having a safe space to express yourself is so crucial to enable your growth.Ways to identify the places and people that allow you to come as you are.How working through anxiety in a genuine community can help you show up courageously in more challenging circumstances.The resilience that comes from identifying and nurturing the spaces that embrace every aspect of yourself, even the messy parts.Where can you follow Sonya:

This episode continues to pull on the thread of growth as a removal process. When we set aside everything else, whatâs left is ourselves, our values, and our breath. Listening to our bodies and focusing on simply breathing can help us remove the distractions, stress, and overwhelm we feel on a daily basis. Body and movement teacher Cass Ghiorse is here with simple practices for experiencing and reclaiming our breath.
Are you ready to imagine a culture of women leaders who are fully embodied and unapologetic about their existence? So are we!

This weekâs episode is a throwback to my other podcast, The Feminine Lens. Itâs a solo episode, where I shared my thoughts on strengths, weaknesses, and why itâs so important to identify your unique genius. So much of professional development is built on improving skills or tasks that weâre not very good at. This approach reinforces the falsehood that business success is tied to our worthiness. I want to help you reframe this whole concept. When you stop wasting energy on your âflawsâ and instead center everything around your innate genius, you can build a business or life that aligns with your authentic self.
Join me as I discuss:
The crucial difference between learned strengths and built-in capacities.Why doing things youâve learned how to do well can feel productive, while secretly draining your energy and leading to burnout.Unchaining your growth from your worth.How aligning your business with your unique genius will unlock more energy, more growth, and more wealth.You can find more at:

This weekâs essential growth tip flies in the face of everything youâve probably heard about owning your own business or stepping up in your career. The key to growing your success isnât through doing more.
------> If you want to unlock real, sustainable growth, you need to Do Less.
Laura and I share our experience working with clients and being business owners. We had to face the anxiety we felt around slowing down and learn to trust ourselves.
Weâll help you see that rest and spaciousness are essential to growing a successful business, and that the growth really does come from doing less, not more.
Join us as we discuss:
The fears that drive us to do more & make us feel guilty for slowing down.The joyous growth potential you unlock when you give yourself permission to do less (or even nothing).Small, simple steps you can take to begin prioritizing yourself and setting boundaries around your time.> Where can you follow Sonya:

Welcome back to a new season of Women in the Business Arena! Iâm so excited to spend this season exploring a topic thatâs extremely personal and powerful to me. As entrepreneurs, weâre taught to always be growing: growing our client base, growing our offers, growing our profits. But for so many of us, âbiggerâ and âbetterâ are actually opposites! Regular co-host and mental health expert Laura Shook-Guzman brings her insight back to our mic, as we introduce you to the possibilities we access when we let go of excess, dissolve old patterns, and remove what no longer serves us.
Join us as we discuss:
The real freedom that comes from removing the patterns that no longer serve us.The pressure the business world puts on women entrepreneurs to keep others happy, and never, ever set down a responsibility.Paying attention to the messages our bodies and minds send when we need to simplify.Why itâs so important to be thoughtful about where weâre directing our energy, our time, and our attention.Where can you follow Laura:

Welcome back to a new season of Women in the Business Arena! This season is all about growing your business, but maybe not in the way that you think. Traditional, patriarchal business models train us to believe that growth is a matter of adding more: more hustle, more exposure, more offers, more of our precious time and energy. This season, weâre here to show you that real growth - sustainable, fulfilling, transformative growth - isnât about adding more. Itâs about removing the things that donât work, so you can focus on the things that do. Join us as we show you how to identify what supports your genius, and strip away the structures, habits, and beliefs that weigh you down.
Thank you for being you. We are so honored to have you as a listener!

In traditional, patriarchal business structures, thereâs a one-size-fits-all prescription for success, and that size is BIG. If youâve ever wondered whether scalability was truly the only way to have a vibrant, satisfying business, this episode is a must listen.
Join me and a panel of brilliant, bad-ass business women as we bust the myth that you have to go BIG in your business.

We have felt that too, which is why we want to unpack this myth and share with you that one-size does not fit all. You can have an amazing business and still stay small. I like to call this âsmall but mightyâ.

As entrepreneurs, weâre told that the fastest way to build wealth is to have multiple streams of income, and diversifying our projects is the only way to achieve security. It always reminds me of the old wives tale âDonât put all your eggs in one basketâ.
But this approach to business demands more effort, saps our energy, and keeps us from truly pursuing our passions. Focus is actually the key to building wealth & achieving the life and business we truly want.
Laura Shook Guzman is back in the co-host chair to help me bust the myth that you should have multiple streams of income to build wealth and achieve business success!
As an accomplished psychotherapist, trauma specialist, and devoted community leader, Laura brings enormous expertise, insight, and energy to our chat.

If you just get your marketing right, you are guaranteed to grow your business & your bank account, right? Wrong! So many business owners are obsessed with more marketing, and they bypass the easy steps to sales that have been there all along.
Generating content, chasing after more leads, constantly fixing your brand...does NOT bring more sales. Learning to do sales, brings more sales. Got it!
In this episode, we are going to help you understand the difference between marketing and sales. We also dive into why marketing is a tempting time-sink, and how you can reframe your understanding to focus on what will work better for your bottom line.
I have my co-host Laura on with me this week, and as always we are tackling the internal and external challenges of running a business.
Join us as we discuss:
How much time we spend trying to slowly warm up cold leads through marketing, instead of tapping into our warm (and even hot) leads crying out for our help right now. The importance of sales to a viable business, and how sales calls can actually be fun AND effective.Why itâs scary to be vulnerable as a business owner, and why that genuine connection is so vital for developing lasting client relationships.What, if anything, the work of building a social media presence actually does for your business development.Where can you follow Laura:

Why do so many business owners believe we have to go all out to convince potential clients to work with us? Whatâs behind the indoctrination that makes sales calls feel like an ethical minefield? This week we are talking about how to show up in a genuine, honest way that eliminates the need for sleazy sales tactics.

Consciously or not, too many of us are convinced that our success, and our value to the world, is directly tied to how busy we are. But that canât be further from the truth.
You are inherently valuable. You are worthy of basic human needs like lunch breaks and a normal amount of sleep. Constantly sacrificing yourself for the sake of âhard workâ is just not sustainable. So letâs change that.
Laura is back to talk about how this pernicious myth drives women to wear their burnout as a badge of honor, and feel lazy if they dare to rest.
When we dare to believe we are worthy of rest, we allow ourselves to:
> Recharge as needed
> Enjoy our social lives
> Engage with our home lives
> Work smarter with a fully rested brain
For some of us, this is a hard concept to put into practice, it goes against everything we were taught about working! We were taught that pulling all-nighters, skipping meals, and ignoring our loved ones meant that we were working hard. It was seen as admirable even.
But nowadays we know for a fact that that kind of thinking causes more harm than good. Weâre human beings! We need to rest, we need to recharge, and we need to be ok with that! You donât have to sacrifice yourself to do the work you want to do. You can take care of yourself and still be successful. I know it's true because itâs been done before.
Letâs tackle this new way of thinking, one step at a time, with some help from our resident mental health professional Laura Shook Guzman.

I am so excited about this episode today as we are breaking down the myth that you have to be (and be seen as) an expert to succeed in business. I am honored to have Natalie Miller on as my special guest. She is an incredible mindset coach and woman activist.
Together we unpack the concept of "expertise" and reframe it in a way that is more empowering, and honestly a huge relief! So many women are struggling with imposter syndrome because they believe they have to be someone else's definition of an expert before they can show the world their wisdom.
Natalie Miller is a boldly feminist coach who helps evolutionary leaders break free from the golden cages they've achieved themselves into: the work, roles, relationships, and everyday lives that look lovely but feel confining. Coaching with Natalie, they learn to trust themselves to walk their talk, live generously, do what they really want, and get as BIG as they know they're meant to be. Get started with your feminist magic lessons on Natalie's weekly podcast, Mind Witchery.
