Vision is the key to being the creator of your own reality.
As we turn the page on 2021, I invite you to build a foundation for making a massive change that’s in service of your most authentic self.
Imagine that you are at the end of 2022. Visualize the outcomes you want to create.
Dare to envision things that you think are totally impossible and awesomely magnificent, imagined exactly as you'd want them to be. There is nothing that you’re not allowed to want. Dare to find out what unfolds. And dare to help it unfold the way you want it to.
In this special New Year bonus episode of Allowed, I will walk you through a year-end visioning routine. And while the coming of the New Year is a perfect time to do this exercise, you can create a powerful vision at any time. Wherever you are on your journey, this is a great way to give yourself and your goals a recharge.
A compelling vision will help you achieve the lasting change you have been wanting. And the best part? All you need to do for this exercise is answer a few simple questions.
Start the year with a commitment to yourself to make 2022 a year where you become even more uniquely and beautifully you. Have a wonderful New Year, I cannot wait to see where you are a year from now.
Expressing your gratitude for things that feel profound, positive, and important feels straightforward and easy. However, being grateful for that which we find most challenging is not usually something we consider or put into practice. Finding gratitude for the challenges you face allows you to take back control of something that may have felt beyond your control. When challenging moments and obstacles arise, we can easily slip into a state of powerlessness or victimhood that, in conscious leadership, would be described as being in the drama triangle, where we perceive life as happening to us and being against us. Living a life of conscious presence means that you acknowledge all aspects of your life as serving a purpose for your benefit and growth.
With the complex pivots and particular set of challenges 2021 has entailed, this Thanksgiving holiday in the US presents a unique opportunity to revisit one of Allowed’s first episodes, originally aired in 2019. Focused on gratitude in honor of the American Thanksgiving holiday, this personal episode touches upon the value challenges bring to our lives, the beautiful complexity of family, and being thankful for and celebrating differences. Throughout the episode, explore the distinction between entitlement and appreciation and the results you can see born out of these two very different mindsets. During Heather and I’s conversation, you will also hear how creating a community of gratitude can transform your own mindset.
Across the globe over the past two years, humanity has faced life-changing challenges, strife, division, and loss. These challenges, while immensely difficult, have also provided an incredible opportunity to reevaluate our priorities and face many truths we did not have the will or opportunity to face before. Shifting our mindsets around these challenges and examining how this might be exactly the right thing for you right now can hugely benefit both your personal and interpersonal growth.
When you accept the challenge of looking at every aspect of your life with a grateful mindset, you may find yourself feeling more powerful and motivated than ever before.
Outer and inner beauty are at the forefront of this special bonus episode of Allowed, as we explore the complex relationship women often have with beauty- one of artistry, confidence, insecurity, and evolution.
Join us as Brittany Allyn, founder of ThirtyWaves and SCOOPS, guides us through the art of her morning beauty routine while sharing her favorite beauty products and tricks. Throughout this beauty tutorial, this bonus episode also goes beneath the surface as we touch on how freedom to express oneself through beauty is feminist, context versus content, the Drama Triangle’s influence on beauty, and the power of hypnobirth.

I am sitting here 10 pounds heavier than I was at the beginning of COVID. Where I am in my own journey is learning to accept that lovingly and not making my body a problem in any way.
I'm naming this because I’ve been deep down that hole.
We are coming up on International Women's Day, and I feel my hands shaking a little bit thinking about this pattern I see in myself, and in many women, to feel more or less valuable based on how we look.
I want to speak to those of you who have also experienced some level of body shame from others or from yourself.
We can have body shame about anything. It can be about our weight. It can be about our hair. It can be about our skin.
Body shame is something that often starts from the outside. We get shamed by society and we internalize it. In an attempt to protect ourselves, we can begin to perpetuate the shame, the blame and the stories in order to have more control and be able to be accepted by others.
We're not born into body shame.
We learn it.
We learn it from others and then we use those lies to break ourselves down from the inside out. So, what can you do?
You can make choices about the types of thoughts you want to encourage in yourself. You can make choices around what you expose yourself to. You can choose to question these thoughts. You can choose not to spread them.
These stories aren't yours. Stop telling them.
Please share this with a woman who could benefit from hearing it. Share this with a man who could benefit from hearing it. Share it with anybody of any gender identity who could use a little more love for themselves today.

What if I told you that you could speak about anything that you want to in a way that nobody can argue with? If that were possible for you, what would that unlock?
Could you perhaps resolve some relationship tensions and issues that have been bothering you for a while? Could you maybe ask for a different role at work, a promotion, a raise? Could you maybe renegotiate some of your agreements with your family, with your partner that would actually help both of you to get more of what you want?
What if I told you that this is both the simplest skill in the world and one of the most challenging to stick with?
I'm really excited today to teach you one of my favorite skills that is directly relevant to the whole body of work that we call conscious leadership. This skill is a super ninja communication tool. It's also a really useful way to be self-aware of when you might be dipping into drama, and it's also a useful way to get out of drama and to stop spreading drama in your relationships and in your life. This skill is called speaking unarguably.

Today I’m sharing one of my favorite tools that is useful in all areas of your life, regardless of if you are an executive, a formal people manager, or if you are in a family leadership position.
ARCI is a tool that I teach to my executive teams when I'm doing executive team development and offsite training. It's a framework. It's a way of understanding the ‘who’ behind ‘who will do what by when’, which is the keystone of high integrity clear agreements.
Integrity breaches are one of the most destructive forces in organizations, teams and families. When we don't do what we say we'll do, or when we create agreements that are vague, impossible to understand, ill-defined, or low integrity, this leads to a lot of drama.
Unchecked integrity breaches create unhealthy forms of conflict and strife, and take up a lot of time and energy. ARCI is a framework for understanding, developing and tracking the structure of an agreement and how everyone involved is going to cooperate and coordinate action together.
You can apply it to how a team generally operates. You can apply it to a process. You can apply it to a project. You can apply it to achieve a specific goal, and you can apply it to all different layers. With ARCI in your tool arsenal, you can start having breakthroughs in muddled situations in your work and home right away.

Don’t forget the most important thing to do this Valentine’s Day!
When you hear the term ‘self-love’, you probably think about bubble baths, chocolate and massages. However, none of those things are truly self-love.
Today, we’ll break down some barriers that we often have against self-love. We’ll also discuss what self-love actually is and what it could look like for you.
Self-love is inner work. It's an inner experience of acceptance and appreciation. At the most basic level, self-love is simply asking the questions, "Can I allow myself?” and, “Can I allow myself to be fully here now?" The essence of self-love is 100% allowance of all that is here now.
Self-love is at the heart of everything we talk about on this show, and it is at the heart of all genuine, lasting personal growth. Please remember to give yourself the gift only you can give – show yourself some real self-love this Valentine’s Day.

Most agreements are designed to fall out of integrity right away. End the friction of confusion and complication by fine-tuning how you make your agreements. You empower yourself and your team to work with integrity, by having concrete, literal, and clearly-defined plans from the onset, rather than vague suggestions.
Today, we're going to talk about how to create high-integrity agreements using a 3-prong framework. This practice can be applied at ANY time. Whether you’re making new goals or following up on a project, there is always the opportunity to improve your life and work by leading with integrity.

You used to think that gender was a simple thing. For some of you, you simply were born into one, and for others, you have questioned, identified and discovered for yourself. Whatever your gender is, gender does play a very important role in shaping what your life looks like – this is undeniable.
And in this post #metoo era, it is often an uncomfortable topic to discuss. Today we're going to be focusing on what it's like to be a leader as a woman. How women can support and empower each other, and some of the traumatic things that women face in the world. I have back on the show today Mary and Anna Bloom (of Snap Inc. and Airbnb Plus, respectively) who are here to share some personal stories and excellent advice for men and women alike around what it's like to be a powerful woman.
We’ll discuss what it means to be a feminist and how this concept has evolved over the course of their lives, the ways that they have been leaders while maintaining feminist identities, motherhood as an identity shift, and ways you can support yourself as a woman. I think you're going to find the way that they show up in their organizations as women to be profoundly inspiring whether you're a man, a woman, or any other gender.
You are allowed to be a powerful woman. And men, you are allowed to be feminists.

True breakthroughs come, not just in whatever your innovation is or whatever it is that you're designing, but breakthroughs come in this internal opening of yourself when you're most interested in how to serve and how to best understand your users. Today, I'm offering you a special skill-building series training that I actually developed for a client and it is covering design thinking.
Design thinking is a powerhouse of a skill that can be applied to any situation where there is a problem to solve. This skill is especially important to me because it's really where I cut my teeth as a facilitator and coach, and also because it is where I discovered that no matter what tasks you're working on, the work is always the inner work.
This training is also available to you as a whole series of videos that I developed with my colleague, Luke Entrup, partner in Evolution, who you met in Episode #2 of Allowed where we focused on shadow.
Design Thinking is a team-oriented skill, so I encourage you to share this with your teams and colleagues.

There's nothing that you're not allowed to want. You are allowed to want what you actually want. There's no, “should”, necessary. There's no, “I need to”.
If you're heading into a new year's resolution process or you're setting goals for your team, your company, or your family, I invite you to build a foundation for making a massive change that's actually in service of your deepest, most authentic self. I’m here to support you in playing with this idea of, "from above the line, I don't need anything. There's nothing I should do. There's nothing I have to do. However, I can want. I can have strong preferences. I can stand for things. I can be committed." In this mindset, from above the line – that's where genuine change happens.
There's nothing more human than creating and there's nothing more human than creating change. So, this week, I want to invite you into a really different process; a conscious process of allowing ourselves to be a vehicle for change to happen.

This week is Thanksgiving in the United States and it's one of my favorite holidays, although this year is going to look pretty different for almost all of us. This is also normally the week where we would talk a lot about gratitude and why it's important. One of the things that I often see is that it's easy to be grateful for things that seem really profound and important. It's not usually something we consider, to be grateful for that which we find most challenging.
2020 has been the year of challenges. However, these challenges have made us wake up and realize that it is now time to face these things which we did not want to face before. Finding gratitude within your challenges can be empowering and allows you to take back control of something that may have felt beyond your control.
Flipping something that seems like an unwelcome challenge and looking for how this might be exactly the right thing for you right now can be hugely beneficial and spur both personal and interpersonal growth. It’s not always easy to do, but in many of life's circumstances, it can be true that there is a silver lining.

Today, we are tackling one of the most commonly experienced ways to suffer that I have ever come across in all of my coaching work, and it is something called the Imposter Syndrome.
The Imposter Syndrome is when you really feel like you are a fraud, and everyone might find out that you've been faking it this whole time, and that you aren’t qualified to actually do the job that you're doing, to have received the rewards that you're receiving, to be in the role or position that you're in, or to have the confidence, success, happiness, or ease that you currently have.
Are you in a position right now, where you feel unsure of yourself, maybe self-critical or self-judgmental? Do you feel paranoid, afraid that others can see through you, feel guilty or anxious about it, or ashamed,? Do you find yourself up all night long, indulging in overworking in an attempt to make up this deficit?
It's time to question your stories.
In this episode, you can begin to unravel the stories that are leading to your own experience of the Imposter Syndrome by exploring some techniques and exercises I have found useful for my clients. Curiosity is always a tool that's available for you to use, and it's especially important when you feel like it's not okay that you don't know everything. That's the time when you need it most.

How do you ask for and get what you want? I used to be a business school professor and one of the key courses I would teach to MBAs, undergrads and executive MBAs is negotiation, the skills and theories around negotiation and how to get what you want. By far, the biggest takeaway is how most of the time people ask for what they think they can get, instead of what they want.
Last week on the show, Noa Ries and Kim Havens, co-founders of Women's Executive Network Leadership Educational Platform, Kahilla, shared their co-leadership strategies, and in this episode, I share a separate conversation I had with them on their podcast called “Conversations at Base Camp” where we cover Zone of Genius and how it relates to asking for and getting what you want, as well as applicable strategies for having real-life negotiation conversations so that you can increase the lifetime value in a monetary fashion but also in many other ways of your career.

It’s time to get inspired to design the business and leadership lifestyle of your dreams.
Regardless of what you do, you are a leader of your own life. You lead in your home. You lead in your work. You lead in your personal life. A common struggle that many of you have already faced is how to lead as a whole human with a whole life. Leaders often compartmentalize and make choices in one area of their lives while neglecting certain other areas. This doesn’t have to be the case. You can make choices that allow you to bring all parts of yourself onto the table. You don’t have to sacrifice your personal life to grow a successful business.
Noa Ries and Kim Havens, co-founders of the rapidly growing business, Kahilla, are here to explore this unconventional idea with you. These remarkable women have found a way to lead together that supports each of them in their whole beings, all while building a thriving business. They share the decisions they've made on how they designed their company and partnership, as well as the very popular leadership advice they have chosen to ignore in order to create the type of life that serves them, their families and a community of empowered women around the world.

This Halloween episode is a treat for me to share with you because it is one of my favorite holidays. I love dressing up in costume. Why is the act of dressing up relevant to a Conscious Leader like you? Actually, these two things are deeply related.
You’ve likely heard me mentioning “a part of me” or “a part of you”. Today, we dive into the concept of humans being made of many selves. There are a lot of different parts of you that, combined, make up your whole self. Each of these parts can be identified as a different persona with its own unique needs, fears, desires, personality and quirks. They even have their own heroes, role models and values.
Often, when you get into inner-conflict or any kind of suffering, it’s because there are parts of you who are not getting along with each other. This is because they don’t trust each other, and there’s usually a pretty good reason for that. When you can identify your personas and resolve the conflicts between them so that they truly trust and rely on each other, you can find more peace, ease and confidence. In this episode, I show you how to begin unpacking your own personas so that all of your amazing and unique parts can begin to work together as a whole.

What if you could truly understand your own personality type and that could unlock a whole new level of deep personal development, heightened communication, and fulfilling interpersonal relationships? In this episode, we speak with the remarkable Erin Rocchio. Erin is an executive coach, a partner in Evolution, and she's certified in a revolutionary personality tool that you've heard mentioned on this show many times – the Enneagram. Learning about the Enneagram personality types can make a massive difference in your life and the way you interact with yourself and with others. And the reason that, as leaders and coaches, we love the Enneagram as a tool amongst many, is that it is very uniquely suited to support lifelong transformation and development where you can use it in a number of ways. You can take it down a spiritual path, you can take it down a path as a parent, you can take it into your personal relationships, and you can take it into your work and your role as a leader.

As a leader, you use your storytelling abilities to inspire and motivate. But to create lasting change, use the language of facts to speak unarguably.

This episode will provide you with the framework to begin to notice whether you’re expressing yourself in the language of facts or stories. Understanding the key differences between facts and stories gives you the knowledge necessary to begin to consciously communicate.
Throughout this episode, learn about externally and internally-based facts, then explore what a story is and why certain stories prevent progress and growth. Facts and your stories both matter. When you can clearly define facts and stories and use this framework to communicate with intention, you lead consciously.

Conscious leaders strive to learn about how we can better manage, lead, influence, and support our teams, our colleagues, and ourselves, and how we can best lead, especially through crises or change such as COVID-19. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Dana Sumpter about a leverage-point that has great relevance for any manager in the workforce. In particular, we will be focusing on one of the most valuable and essential segments of the workforce – parents.
There's a lot of evidence that especially in this COVID era, with the shutdown of schools, working parents are feeling the pressure and scarcity of resources. They are a misunderstood group. Collectively as a society, and as leaders, in particular, we have a shared responsibility to better understand what this group is going through, and to understand what we can do to challenge the system, to create the change we want, and to stand for reformations, acceptance, and empathy, and how can we reorganize ourselves in a way that is creative and from above the line.
In this episode, we talk about specific tactical recommendations for both parents and leaders of working parents to maximize growth, improve communication, increase support, and optimize productivity, especially in remote working and remote learning environments.
You may be one of those who is needing to be better understood, better supported, or you may be not part of this demographic segment and yet it's very important that we better understand what they're going through right now so that we can move into a place of greater awareness and we can make conscious choices as leaders about how we might adapt our approach to be more in service of that to which we are most deeply committed.

As creative thinkers and entrepreneurs, we create tools and products because we, ourselves, need to work on something. For Canadian entrepreneur superstar, Alex Ikonn, co-founder of Intelligent Change and creator of the best-selling Five Minute Journal and Productivity Planner, gratitude was his Achilles heel. When Alex, who had a challenging childhood and at times had felt like a victim of his circumstances, learned the power of gratitude, it shifted his whole life.
If you have scarcity in your life of some sort, whether it be from things that are happening in your family, or in your career, or relationships, you can get into that trap of saying, "Why me?" When Alex had that first huge realization that you are planting seeds to your reality with your everyday thoughts and that what you focus on, you cultivate and create in your life, everything changed for him. He learned that if you want to make any difference in your life, you have to take responsibility. This led him to create tools like the Five Minute Journal that could act like “toothbrushes for the mind” and help people build new, healthy habits through a daily routine of being grateful that catapults them on a new life trajectory through changing their mindset.
No one can make you unhappy. Once you take responsibility in your life, there is power in this. If you take care of that one being that you can be responsible for – YOU – you're making such a big change because it's going to be a ripple effect and you're going to inspire others. In this episode, Alex Ikonn shares his personal journey and it demonstrates how one truly simple question, asked once per day, can make a massive, fundamental difference in your life.

One of the most important skills of a conscious leader is asking yourself, "How did I create this current situation that is in front of me?" Mindset is really about the way you are being and the most important way of “being” is being present – in ease, in flow, aware, and grounded in current reality. We are not present when we're focused on what we are going to do later. One way to remain present throughout your day is to focus your morning on cultivating that mindset and way of being. There are so many different ways that you can support yourself through creative use of your own morning routines, and it can actually be really fun. Today we share some of our favorite tools and tricks and give ourselves permission to continue to play and experiment and make this morning mindset time a time of self-discovery and expansion. Claim your role as the creator of your day. Connect your intention with your action. Be proactive. Be creative. By creating a personalized morning routine to develop the optimal morning mindset for yourself, you will gain the benefits of energy, clarity, and inspiration. The only person who can make you a conscious leader is you. And it starts first thing in the morning. See show notes and get the free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

We are in a time of deep change – a kind of change that requires not just incremental shifts, but deep transformation where we don't know what the end state is going to look like, both collectively, but also for each of us individually. It's changing the way that we need to show up as leaders and highlighting the importance of leading as whole humans with empathy and compassion for one another. Jeremi Gorman, the Chief Business Officer at Snap Inc, is here to discuss the importance of practicing and leading with empathy. Jeremi leads global sales, agency partnerships, customer and business operations, platform integrity, trust and safety, and creative strategy, and is also a huge influence on people's mindsets and the culture at Snap, and she brings some great insight into leadership, from both a corporate and a personal standpoint. Company values come from the top, and leaders who practice empathy are leaders that teams are eager to support, teams that are willing and able to pivot, teams that want to learn and to grow, not just professionally but personally, and teams that stand together during times of crisis.

Have you ever said yes to something where you had a bad gut feeling? How did that go? Or have you said yes to something where you knew you really didn't mean it? How did that go? The number one reason people end up breaking agreements is because they didn't really agree to begin with. They didn't have a whole body yes. Today we focus on a super easy hack to clean up your life, to free up your energy, and to allow life to flow through you – only say yes to things where you have a whole body yes. The whole body yes is a stepping stone. Every single yes you can say that's whole body is a stepping stone toward your purpose, toward living in your genius. So, what does it mean to have a whole body yes? How do you know if you have one? Why is it important? And how can you find one when you really want to make change and you just can't seem to find that whole body yes? Listen to this episode to learn about how you can access and begin using the whole body yes in your daily agreements. See show notes and get the free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

Her story sheds light on what most leaders have to deal with at some point in their journeys and she also shares how she overcame being "below the line" in the Drama Triangle by being honest with where she was at and how she was feeling. Leading by example, Caneel re-established clear agreements with her family, her team, and most importantly, with herself, so she could come back into integrity and lead from presence by being "above the line" in how she operates her business and her life.

Leadership is perception. There is intrinsic value in finding out how you are perceived and received by people that view you from different perspectives - whether above you, beside you, or below you. A big piece of this is seeing if how you intend to come across is actually how you are coming across, and to learn your blind spots. In this episode, Caneel will guide you through 360 reviews and other forms of leadership feedback and introduce you to a mindset of curiosity as we underscore the importance of listening especially in the environment that we currently are in. Why is feedback such an important process for leaders to go through? What is a 360? Why are they valuable? How do we interpret feedback and incorporate it into positive changes? After this episode, you will have a deeper appreciation and understanding of feedback and its powerful role in growth and leadership, as well as its often underleveraged ability to accelerate a leader’s performance.

Brilliant business designer and TrueCar CPO, John Foster, is here to help guide us in this hugely important conversation. You are allowed to commit to your team members’ development.

At work, we sometimes react to something and immediately regret it. But, sometimes our reactivity is more drawn out and we don't even realize we're doing it. It's almost as if we have drifted from being conscious and we are zoned out. There are a lot of different ways that this can look, and we are going to explore those today. When we find ourselves deeply immersed in these reactive behaviors we don't have access to the here and now and we can't actually be effective. Today we're going to dig into reactive behaviors and drift moves and learn how we can shift back into presence. You are allowed to be a full human being who sometimes gets reactive, and you're allowed to learn how to shift. See show notes and get free tools and guides at Caneel.com.
They say that the startup game is a roller coaster, and for many, it is one of the most difficult, frightening, stressful roller coasters in the world – it’s bootcamp for the soul. As a founder, an executive, or a leader in a fast-growing company, we can feel very alone in our struggles, and we often hide them in an effort to appear like everything is going great. If you're feeling alone in your role in the world as a leader, you can find healing in connecting with the stories of others.
In today's episode, we have the remarkable Terry Lee. He's a founder, he's a former CEO, he's a former COO, and he is human, just like you. If you are a leader who's never been through the entrepreneurial grind before, if you're an aspiring COO or entrepreneur founder, or if you are actually in the midst of the most challenging parts of the startup rollercoaster, you’ll receive a lot of valuable information and insight from this deeply compassionate man who is here to share his journey as a leader. Many of the lessons that he has learned along the way would not have come without a certain degree of heartbreak, pain, and struggle. See show notes and get free tools and guides at Caneel.com.
