Episode 24: How to deal with difficult situations in business

Having a business for more than two decades, Elizabeth and David are normalizing difficult situations in business and discussing the good that can come from experiencing them. We all receive negative feedback and encounter dissatisfied customers every now and again, but how you respond to them is what can either keep you stuck, or help you grow as a business owner. 

 

If you choose to focus consciously or subconsciously on the one negative experience, giving it a lot of attention and energy, it can dilute all of the other beautiful experiences and happy clients you have far more of. In this conversation, Elizabeth and David encourage you to take a pause, think through how you want to respond and realize that we all just want to be seen and heard. If you go into a difficult situation with this in mind, what could come from it is more understanding and change for the better.

Episode 23: Manifestation and the Law of Attraction

Elizabeth chats with Madison Dalmaso, a 7-figure high performance lifestyle and business mentor, who studied under the renowned Bob Proctor, learning about the Law of Attraction.Madison explains that we are all vibrational beings who are constantly in motion. And because we are in motion, we exist on frequencies. If we can learn how to tap into a different frequency, where our biggest dreams and desires live, we can change our own vibration and ultimately attract and achieve what we want most. Tune in to listen to this conversation about what manifestation really is, and learn how you can use it in your life to grow your business, increase your wealth, and find more fulfillment.

Episode 22: My husband surprised me with this question

Episode 20: Free tapping exercise to release overwhelm

In this special episode, Elizabeth walks us through her go-to exercise that aids in moving through overwhelm during stressful times. “Tapping”, officially called EFT Emotional Freedom Technique, is a very practical tool you can use when you’re feeling anxious, short of breath, or deep shallow breaths. This exercise can bring an amazing amount of clarity into what you need to accomplish, and help prioritize what’s most important to you. You can expect to feel a shift of some sort happening. That shift is your neuro pathways actually beginning to change and transform so you can clear your mind, open your heart, and feel good in your body. Join us for this tapping exercise and see what it can do for you!

Episode19: How to use meditation to change your life, and your business.

In this episode, guest Yogi Bryan shares his experience of moving beyond the yoga mat into a consistent meditation practice that has transformed his life. Together, he and Elizabeth redefine the common understanding of hypnosis. Because  hypnotherapy digs into the subconscious mind, consistent practice of energy shedding and healing  allows a compound effect of providing inspiration, clarity, motivation, and ideas. The more you do, the more layers you shed.

 

At the end of this episode, Yogi Bryan takes us through a relaxing meditation session to help move any stuck energy. Tune in for a free session!

Episode 18: How Chinese medicine played an integral role in my health journey

Elizabeth and Acupuncturist Kerry Goodwin discuss the benefits of Chinese medicine and its approach of focusing on the whole being. In her own practice, Kerry focuses on women’s health, particularly fertility and pregnancy. Her holistic approach and focus on herbal medicine takes the treatment beyond the treatment room. Both Elizabeth and Kerry discuss the importance of showing up authentically in our lives, focusing on overall health, and how it will ultimately extend into business as well.  To get there, Kerry suggests creating boundaries around our health including best sleep practices, food preparation, and giving ourselves grace in the process.

Episode 17: How moving through fear has grown her floral business exponentially

Elizabeth and Eatherley dive deep into what inspires them in their own craft; how they keep that creative inspiration alive; and how they have overcome limiting beliefs in their businesses. 

 

Both have physically and creatively demanding careers and in the early years, got caught up in hustle culture that consumes the wedding industry. Learning how to work through challenges, getting the ego in check, and surrounding themselves with support has allowed them to work through the fear that comes with solopreneurship. Growing a capable team and being able to step back and trust the ebbs and flows of business has given them a community, more success, and the freedom they have always dreamed of.

 

About Eatherley:

Eatherley Schultz is the owner and head of operations at Floressence. She comes from a line of women, including her mother and grandmother, who found beauty and kinship in the garden space. Eatherley grew up in Birmingham, Alabama where her early love of gardening and horticulture eventually took her to central California where she studied agroecology and farming.

As a farmer, she grew organic vegetables and cut flower and later added landscape design to her skillset, a field that would influence her work and approach at Floressence. In North Carolina, she managed a 250-acre farm property for five years, and began a small floral business on the side. Eatherley felt compelled to pursue her floral design business full-time.

Floressence Flowers was born in 2010, out of Eatherley’s love of plants and nature, and her desire to use them as an artistic medium. Today, Floressence has executed hundreds of weddings and special events in Western North Carolina and beyond.

Episode 16: How EFT or “Tapping” has allowed me to release anxiety, be more present, and allow myself to dream bigger.

In this transformative episode, Elizabeth takes us through an actual tapping exercise and shows us how vulnerable it requires you to be. Tapping has allowed her to release anxiety, be more present, and allow her to dream bigger by learning how to be present and getting really honest about guiding her business from a place of authenticity.

 

EFT or tapping first came into prominence in the 1990s by a developer named Gary Craig. According to EFT International, the technique can be helpful for people with anxiety, depression, and can even be helpful for pain, stress, weight loss issues, etc.  That's the beauty of it. It's not specific to any one problem, or any one undesirable emotion. It's not specific to only people who are chronically depressed or in pain. It can be used for anything. It actually helps you access your body's energy and sends signals to different parts of your brain that controls stress. It’s dealing with all of the chemical and hormonal responses and allowing your body to get out of that fight or flight space that we can often live in.
