Brenna McGowan is a master when it comes to launching anything. Her approach is so different and immediately caught my attention when a friend in business started talking about her. That friend is someone you listen to when she shares who she's following and learning from.

In our refreshing conversation we dive into Brenna's innovative approach to creating connection, something she refers to as Anticipation Marketing. This is a must listen for anyone who has ever launched something in business, no matter the outcome. I found what Brenna shared to be thought provoking and it totally got me fired up with motivation about the possibility of creating a more cohesive, connected community of awesome souls ready and excited to invest.

In this episode

  • 5:48 Brenna’s founder story
  • 9:12 What is anticipation marketing
  • 12:33 Why anticipation is important in business
  • 16:05 Anticipation marketing in practice
  • 40:28 What role does leadership play in your life and business?
  • 43:28 Connect with Brenna
  • 42:31 How do you know when you're thriving?
  • 47:59 What's a final piece of wisdom that you'd like to share?

Meet Brenna McGowan

Brenna McGowan is launch strategist & copywriter. She believes that hustle-based, high-pressure program launches don’t serve you or your customers. Instead, she teaches a systemized pre-launch process to put leads through so they’re primed, pre-sold, qualified, and raring to buy your offer.By leveraging her pre-launch and Anticipation Marketing™ strategies, Brenna’s clients have tripled — and even quadrupled launch revenue growth — without the frenzy and chaos they used to feel when launching. She also helps her students inside The Pre-Launch Plan Program create strategic pre-launch plans that have raked in hundreds of thousands in revenue.When Brenna’s not strategizing or helping clients launch, you can find her walking in her Northern California neighborhood, continuing her endless search for the perfect white t-shirt, reading cheesy romance books, or coming to terms with soon becoming an empty-nester.

There are some people you meet in life that leave an imprint on your heart for who they are and what they stand for. Today's guest, Holly-Ann Martin OAM is that kind of person. I was first introduced to Holly-Ann by a mutual friend after hearing about her life changeing work teaching protective behaviours to children and others in remote communities in Australia.

I was blown away by Holly-Ann's commitment to what she does, in spite of so many odds stacked against her. Whilst she is in the business of changing the lives of children for the better, getting people to understand why protective behaviours are essential for our children to know means having difficult and uncomfortable conversations so many of us shy away from.

It is this determined tenacity that has seen Holly-Ann receive recognition and awards, and whilst they're nice to receive they are not what drives her. This episode will be inspirational and motivational and get you thinking about how you can take your truth and turn it into positive impact and legacy.

In this episode

  • 20:49 How do you support yourself to keep moving forward?
  • 24:10 How do you stay connected to that why?
  • 40:29 What role does leadership play in your life and business?
  • 44:15 How do you know when you're thriving?
  • 46:56 Connect with Holly-ann and resources
  • 50:20 What's a final piece of wisdom that you'd like to share?

Meet Holly-Ann Martin

Holly-ann Martin OAM is the founder and Managing Director of Safe4Kids, started in 2007. With over 35 years of experience in teaching child abuse prevention education. Holly-ann has presented the thought-provoking Safe4Kids program at over 40 conferences to audiences across the globe, from the United Kingdom and the United States of America to every State and territory of Australia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Mexico and Qatar.

The Thrive Factor Archetypes Business Insights series explores key business wisdom related to two of the 12 Thrive Factor Archetypes in each episode.

In today's episode, the 6th and final part of the series, we get to know the final two of the 12 Thrive Factor Archetypes, the Queen Ruler and Mother Nurturer.

The Queen Ruler has the potential to lead on a large scale and is often ambitious to surround herself with a large community of supporters. Not all Queen Rulers will aspire to this level of "empire" but every one has the potential. When she is honouring her desire for quality, leaning into the standards that support her, enjoying the finer things in life, and living and working in an environment overflowing with beauty she's in her element. The Queen Ruler brings beauty and quality to the world. She loves exceptional experiences and will invest to create a lifestyle that is in alignment with her innate strengths. She can also be calculated and make quick decisions without being swayed by emotion. In some instances, it is challenging to imagine the Queen Ruler even having other Archetypes, but she 100% does.

The Mother Nurturer Archetype is 100% focused on family. Both her real and perceived family become the centre of her world, often to the detriment of her own well-being. She can be kind, generous, supportive, and the biggest encourager. She can also be smothering with her demonstrative love for her family members. In business, she thrives in a family style environment where she can surround herself with those she loves. She is determined to empower her offspring any way she can, but can also get caught up defining her self-value based on her perception of the accomplishments of her children, and extended family, including her clients as they can feel like family to her.

I have been looking forward to sharing this new episode with guest Melissa Lapides since we recorded this conversation a little while back. I first became aware of Melissa's work a year or so ago and have so appreciated learning more about her approaches to trauma-informed practice.

I also came to learn more about her experiences transitioning from psychotherapy to coaching and back again, plus her stance on trauma-informed coaching and its importance. When I saw Melissa sharing more about ethics in the coaching industry and advocating for change through her collaboration with others committed to ethical practice in coaching, I was even more drawn in and curious to know more.

I was delighted when Melissa said yes to joining me to create this conversation for you all. Whether you are a mental health professional of some kind, coaching, or leading an online service business, I am certain you will find value in all we talk about in this episode.

In this episode, you'll hear us talk through the following topics

  • 0406 Melissa's experience from psychotherapy to coaching and back again
  • 0953 Trauma-informed coaching and its importance
  • 1435 Ethics in the coaching industry and advocating for change
  • 2517 Coaching industry scams and ethics
  • 4616 Ethics in coaching and supervision
  • 53:25 What role does leadership play in your life and business?
  • 56:11 How do you know when you're thriving?
  • 57:39 Connect with Mellissa Lapides

The Thrive Factor Archetypes Business Insights series explores key business wisdom related to two of the 12 Thrive Factor Archetypes in each episode.

In today's episode, part 5 of the series, we get to know the Liberator Engineer and the Networker Connector Thrive Factor Archetypes.

The Liberator Engineer is the freedom weaver. A capable, analytical individual, she has a gift for seeing and sensing the bigger picture and an ability to understand all the moving parts of something. She functions logically, is a thinker, and processes things both through her thoughts and how free she feels in relation to something. She has an instinct for sensing when ego is present and an ability to break it down, in herself and others. She comes across as competent, calm, and coordinated, and yet, the reality is she is a deep feeler with incredible depth of emotion. That emotion gives her the ability to be relatable and organised and she is a born leader. When she is not using her innate building mechanism, her inner engineer to create freedom and space for herself as a priority, the emotion can build and get to the point where it's expressed in a bold way.

The Networker Connector is the social butterfly of the Thrive Factor Archetypes. With an almost unquenchable thirst for connection, she adores being with people. Even if she is naturally introverted, this part of her is the life of the party always. She has the ability to bring people together and loves to see what is possible when connections are made between those in her social and professional circles. Whilst an obvious connector of others and the person many turn to because "they'll know someone", she can actually be significantly disconnected from herself. She is wise to turn her love of connection inward and learn to fulfill her need for connection from within.

To celebrate this achievement I am sharing one of my favourite ways to reframe, reset, reenergise, and move forward. It's amazing for mindset, beliefs, inaction, clarity, and momentum and I use the Lens of Curiosity every day in multiple ways.

Today's episode is also about sharing some of the realities of 2023. I've shared something significant I've been going through the last few months and how I have navigated it all as best as I was able to. The Lens of Curiosity played a significant part in every aspect of this experience.

The Thrive Factor Archetypes Business Insights series explores key business wisdom related to two of the 12 Thrive Factor Archetypes in each episode.

In today's episode, part 4 of the series, we get to know the Visionary Creator and the Heroine Adventurer Thrive Factor Archetypes.

The Visionary Creator is the futuristic creatrix. A strategic soul, she has a gift for seeing and knowing what's possible and the creative gifts to bring that possibility and potentiality to life in the present moment. A relatively rare Archetype, she's here to support you to tap into your brilliance, learn to trust it, and build a relationship with patience as you take action to bring your own visions and desires to life. She is naturally entrepreneurial, insightful, wise, and capable.

The Heroine Adventurer is the fierce warrior woman of the Thrive Factor Archetypes. With a strong independence, fierce focus, and determined, tenacious nature she sets her sights on what she wants and goes after it, often to the detriment of her self-care. She is a nature and animal lover and nature is her tonic to all that fierce focus and action taken to achieve. She can come across as competitive and it is important for her to build a relationship with the softer, feminine parts of her energy and persona.

The Thrive Factor Archetypes Business Insights series explores key business wisdom related to two of the 12 Thrive Factor Archetypes in each episode.

In today's episode, part 3 of the series, we get to know the Pioneer Seeker and the Mediator Diplomat Thrive Factor Archetypes.

The Pioneer Seeker is the Archetype of innovation. A natural disruptor, she's at the forefront of things and creating a shift in the status quo at every opportunity. She can feel like a lone wolf roaming in the world and transforms everything when she focuses on the treasure within, instead of feeding her constant external quest as a seeker, looking to find her value in the world.

The Mediator Diplomat is the truth-teller of the Archetypes. She is driven by things needing to be fair, right, just, and equitable for all. When things are not in harmony she has a range of innate strengths that help to create a sense of balance and alignment. She's an incredible listener and is appreciated for her clear, pragmatic, and practical view of everything. Sharing from the heart of her truth is her greatest superpower.

Something fresh for this week's episode is a conversation with the incredible Jo Naughton. When I first connected with Jo she came across as a serious kind of coach, but getting to know her I now know she's actually serious about honouring her soul gifts and co-creating alignment in as many ways as possible.

She is a deeply intuitive, spiritual soul with a plethora of gifts her coaching clients appreciate and benefit from over and over. Our conversation covered many interesting topics and through the stories, wisdom, and insights Jo shares I have no doubt you'll have a new appreciation and understanding of magic, alignment, the chakras, and more.

In this episode, we talk through the following key topics

  • 08:29 Alignment vs misalignment
  • 15:41 Pulling on the thread of misalignment
  • 30:09 The power of intuition and wisdom
  • 37:52 The musical note of the chakras
  • 41:38 Manifestation - a different perspective
  • 53:54 What role does leadership play in your life and business?
  • 55:36 How do you know when you're thriving?
  • 1:04:05 What's a final piece of wisdom that you'd like to share?

Meet guest Jo Naughton; Joanna Naughton (Jo to her friends!) is an Alignment Activator, Spiritual-Embodiment Mentor, and Intuitive Channel. She helps light-workers and heart-led leaders to feel the abundance and expansion of tuning into their limitless soul wisdom and calling this home to the pleasure and power of their body – so that they can create and allow more joy, more freedom, and more impact, inside and out.

Through her 1:1 work (only carried out with contracted soul sisters), Jo uses her unique blend of Mentoring, Coaching, Energy Activation, and Intuitive Hypnosis to guide people to activate the remembrance of their soul's truest vibration. This total Mind-Body-Soul alignment sees her clients loving life in the now AND creating and allowing everything that is truly meant for them in this lifetime, with more ease and flow.Jo lives in a lovely old cottage in an English village, with “The Husband” (yes – that’s genuinely what she calls him around the house), their three gorgeous cats, and lots of beautiful William Morris wallpaper. She is always open to new (and soul-remembered) friends, so never hesitate to connect with her and say hello. She will be ready to walk side-by-side with you, and to light the world together.

  • Activation question for the Archetype
  • Profitable wisdom focus
  • Common fears of the Archetype

Something fresh this week inspired by my recent masterclass, Redefined. In this current era of recognising the constant evolution we all find ourselves in I wanted to showcase the best of this masterclass experience.

On the daily, I see more and more coaches and OSPs talking about their awakening to change, their personal evolution, and what they are doing to navigate the redefining process.

I believe that to be redefined is to become more of who you are destined to be, by intentionally influencing your personal evolution. In this episode, we explore it all and recognise the incredible influences impacting our experience and how to claim back our personal influence.

It is time to reconnect, realign, rediscover, redefine, and refocus on exactly who you are and what you are here to do and share in the world.

There are some people you meet and feel instantly connected to. And then you find out about their disruptive business, unbothered AF views on others opinions about their chosen focus and you love them even more.

Close to 5 years ago I meet the sassy, wise, and big-hearted Amy Towle, at a retreat I was hosting some sessions at, in Tuscany, Italy. Amy immediately stood out to me as the kind of woman I wanted to get to know better. In the ensuing years, I have seen her navigate so many things with compassion, a zest for her work that is palpable and commendable, and like the Queen she is. Literally, she has the Queen Ruler and Pioneer Seeker (Queen of the underworld) Thrive Factor Archetypes. So we could say she is a double Queen with all the Queen energy!

This is an episode I am so happy to share with you because we talk about women's power, Amy's evolutionary Yoni Massage Practitioner certification, her role as founder of Temple of She, and in many ways her newest expansive life experience as Mum to her effervescent toddler and so much more. As with every episode, I promise you inspiration, motivation, and a fresh view on what it means to lead as a woman in today's world.

One of the many things I adore about hosting group experiences, and particularly in-person ones, is seeing the individual Thrive Factor Archetypes play out. And play out always true to type.

My recent self leadership and legacy retreat for women in business was such a wonderful opportunity to lean deeper into the machinations of each of the 12 Archetypes. Seeing as two licensed Thrive Factor Coaches had joined me on retreat as participants, it felt like a not to be missed chance to catch up and chat about our observations of all Archetypes on retreat.

Kerryn Slater, Rachel Gardiner and I had a blast capturing this conversation to share with you. You don't need to know your Archetypes to benefit from listening in. I have no doubt you will be able to recognise yourself in some of the stories we share.

What a treat we have in the new episode today. Shannon chats with an evolving, almost former coach who's on a mission to highlight the unethical practice in the self development world after her own awakening. Meet Anna Squelch.

Shannon and Anna talk through Anna's realisation regarding common practices in the coaching industry and how Anna has educated herself and is passionate about highlighting the inequity and unethical practices so as to educate others.

Anna is a determined soul fuelled by sharing the raw truths she discovered for herself and now can't unsee. Anna could have ignored the call to shine the light on her discoveries but instead decided that the light not only deserved to be shone, it deserved to be bright.

I love creating the solo episodes for you and tuning into what's on my heart and in my head in relation to business, leadership, and right now, the importance of ethical practice in business and coaching.

Spurred on by a number of conversations and masterclasses I have tuned into recently I got fired up to dig out some notes I had been crafting for an upcoming episode. In today's offering, you will hear me talk through two key things I felt were paramount to share at this time

  • the glorification of money in the business coaching space
  • and the message that business success is possible and easy in just a couple of hours a day or lean back and let it all happen for you!

I can't wait to hear what this episode and my 4 things to focus on right now suggestions for any business owner feeling the impacts of the ever-evolving financial environment raise for you.

Annie Gichuru didn't start out intending to become a DEI specialist focusing on supporting coaches and online service providers to lead racially inclusive businesses. However, Annie's rich and diverse lived and learned experience was, in many ways, leading her to this exact opportunity. Having moved from Kenya to Australia to study close to two decades ago Annie found herself in situations she had never experienced in her home country. Having called Australia home for a long time now, she has drawn on her wisdom and determination for more equity in the world to lead high-quality programs and experiences as a phenomenal coach.

Shannon and Annie talk about Annie's call to work in the DEI space, her life experiences, and why she is now committed to this work in a big way. They also talk through Shannon's experience of learning with Annie in a number of ways over the last couple of years, including in Annie's signature program Represented.
