It’s time to strip down and get comfortable with your particular wants in the Dungeon. Why? Because it can actually improve your business. Especially for female entrepreneurs – most women in the business and corporate world do not lean into and embrace their inner power. They try to copycat the Masculine energy and end up tired. Working in the Dungeon with a submissive means not giving them what they want. It’s counter-intuitive; you should give them what they want because that’s what they want. However, you’re actually denying them a greater gift; one that comes from working harder and pushing at their limits to get them to Sub Space. The praise at that moment, the lessons, goes deeper at a level beyond hypnosis or energy work. You can be your own Dom/me and discipline yourself in the business – giving you that extra sweet, fulfilling reward that lasts. Your reward, when leaned into the long-term, delayed gratification process, will be sweeter, larger and mor

Dana meets some awesome people! Case in point: Masters of Education and Certified Diversity Trainer, Jessica Pettitt. Jessica is a former comedian to boot. (Who are we kidding, she's still a riot.) Jessica does everything from working with burnt out teams and supervisors to dramatically shift workplace culture to individual self reflection and personal responsibility. Inspiring people to try – to disrupt the stuck cycle of being burnt out – and helping them to believe the possibility that there is a possibility sets them on the path of forward momentum towards creativity and innovation. It's this work, and Jessica's general awesomeness, that has led her to write Good Enough Now. Want to look at what is in your control and what you can do to create change in yourself? Do it. You're good enough now. You got this. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Mystical Mindset Coach and Soul Designer Leah Steele is sick and tired of seeing women caught in a "crab bucket" mentality – pulling each other back into the bucket instead of lifting each other up. There are so few examples of women in business who have empowered, mentored, or even been kind to other women. Instead we have come to accept a culture of mistrust for other women, letting our fears and insecurities jealously guard what we see to be "our piece of the pie". That pie is a funny thing. It's not that someone has more or less pie than you, or that there is only so much pie to go around. If you take the effort to change the dynamic you will see that there is more pie than you thought. You actually have so much you can give some away. Anyone want to go out for some crab and pie after the podcast? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

  Clearly, this episode requires an "EXTRA EXPLICIT" rating. Words on their own are benign; it is the judgements and meanings that we attach to them that give them their power and impact. So what happens when we use a taboo word to shake things up, call attention to something or just as a release? What happens when we let go of the judgements we have created behind these taboo words and use them purposefully to create change? You may be $%#@&!* surprised at the result.

Is a symphony of crickets the only response to your social media posts?  This week Dana asks us to take a hard look at who we are being when we create our content.  She explains how social media can be an excellent barometer,  revealing to us whether we are being our most engaged, out there, awesome selves, or whether we are being less authentic and holding ourselves back.  Or maybe even that our content just sucks.  Ouch.
