Episode 158: Tanya Moushi - Love is the Business Plan: Do What You Love with Love

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0500

Empathic, emotionally-intelligent, deep thinking, fun and open-minded are a few of the words that come to mind when it comes to describing Tanya Moushi.

In this episode we continue exploring: what is the feminine business model?

For me, the foundation of a feminine business model is embracing feminine values to integrate and co-create with the more structured values of the masculine.

And while these core aspects of life are genderless and cannot be divided into a dual worldview, conscious life itself is a dance where dualities make up the whole.

So in the past, this has been rather a one-sided dance . And if you ask me, we're stepping on our toes all the time because business is largely still dominated by what we call the masculine values which have traditionally been rewarded with money and respect, and have been thought to provide a higher perspective on how business and the economy should be operated.

This has created much suffering. Men women and children are suffering- all genders are suffering, as is our planet.

It's a deeply imbalanced model so it's been important for me to bring guests on the podcast who are changing the status quo in business helping to create language and missing aspects of the feminine so that they can be integrated into a business model that benefits everyone.

Why Tanya's nickname became "chief empathy officer"
Why Seth Godin is Tanya's most influential mentor
Why Tanya wanted to create a new vision for business that's rooted in love.
How we can bring the GECKO Model to every aspect of our lives.
Why daily inspiration is necessary.
Why a values-driven approach is not only personally fulfilling, but professionally profitable.
Why Tanya wants women to see that the things they're most hesitant about: vulnerability, care, deep gratitude--are actually competitive advantages in today's marketplace.
Why many women underestimate their own strengths and overvalue those of others.

Tanya Moushi is a Good-Business Enthusiast. She is a Consultant at Moushi & Co, an interdisciplinary firm that believes that business gets better by applying functions of philosophy and art, and is nicknamed the Chief Empathy Officer among her peers. She’s an avid supporter of Downtown Phoenix, believes in the power of generosity and cites Seth Godin as one of her most influential mentors.

Episode 138: Libby Bunten - UNBECOMING & Healing the Sisterhood Wound

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 03 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0400

"Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that is not you so that you can discover, reveal, and embrace the truth of who you are."

"It's "unbecoming" for a lady to sit like that, Monica."

"Stop making faces like that! It's unbecoming for a little lady, and besides, your face might freeze!"

Unbecoming is a term that has been used to manipulate and condition girls and women for generations. It's part of the grooming process into the patriarchal trance of unworthiness that keeps us from revealing our true thoughts, feelings, and self-expression.

Like an IV drip inserted at birth, micro-dosing cultural messages such as these have kept us in the 4 P's: performing, pretty, pleasing, and polite.

The 4 P's condition us to abandon the truth within ourselves in exchange for love and belonging. As a result, many of us lose touch with who we truly are underneath all of the layers of the false self.

As many of you know, this is my passion! Helping women reveal, heal and embrace their whole magnificent selves. Helping women break free from the trance is the most rewarding work I can do in the world and my goal in life is to awaken as many unbecoming women as possible.

In this episode, join me as I dish with one of my favorite leading ladies, Libby Bunten. In this episode, we dive more deeply into the process of unbecoming and the revelations that come when we begin to unravel what we have been taught to believe vs. what is true. We also talk about our personal journies and how our awakening has impacted our outlook, vitality, creativity, relationships, and basically our whole existence.

We also introduce the exciting news of our upcoming journey, which will be available for 20 women this October and which you may have guessed is called:

UNBECOMING : A 6-month detox from trance to transformation to remember, reclaim, and integrate the TRUE YOU. https://signup.jointherevelation.com/unbecoming

(If you are interested, we would love to welcome you to journey with us! Click the link to be added to the waiting list, and we will update you the moment we open registration this coming September).

In this episode, Libby and I also address the sisterhood wound and why it's part of the patriarchal trance.

What is Unbecoming and why is it relevant for all women?
Unbecoming is a process of revelation.
How does "the inner child" come into the picture of unbecoming?
What is it like to be with women who no longer gossip, strive to compete, or fix you?
Why is learning to receive (pleasure, gifts, help, compliments, opportunities) such a massive part of unbecoming?
As women remember our inherent wholeness, we awaken from self-harming behaviors and begin to attract the life that was meant for us.
How does the sisterhood wound keep us in isolation?
When a woman disapproves of herself, it costs the world.
Why is the sisterhood wound at the very heart of perpetuating patriarchy?
How do we re-contextualize a positive way women can be together in community? Is it possible?
Hear more about Libby's awakening and how she came to recognize the trance in her own life.
Monica shares her experience of joining a group coaching circle for the first time and how it changed her life.
Monica and Libby engage in other "extra" antics you will enjoy because it's how we roll.

Libby Bunten is an embodiment coach and Social Marketing professional whose passion is strengthening women's lives in her local community and beyond. Raised in a quintessential Maine coastal town, Libby always did "whatever it took" to make a living and get the job done. Before a career in social marketing, she did everything from manual labor to freelance writing. A brief stint in a toxic, patriarchal, corporate work environment propelled Libby to pursue an MS in Clinical Psychology which ultimately led to her work in feminist leadership development with like-minded, independent, and irreverent women.

She recently founded and launched her newest group coaching program, Self-Approval School, where women come together in Sisterhood in new ways to remember who they are, break the bullshit rules, and learn to give themselves the stamp of Self-Approval. When she isn't cheering women on, you can find her traveling with her bagel-slinging hunk, Paul, singing karaoke, or in deep surrender to the abyss that is the journey of healing.

Episode 131: Dr. Dorothy Neville - One World Community and the Future of Women’s Leadership

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 00:00:00 -0400

I’m thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Dorothy A. Martin- Neville, Ph.D., a powerful visionary, who is also a pioneer, mover, and risk-taker who is faith and humor-driven as well as committed to transformation and growth.

Dr. Dorothy’s story is incredibly inspirational and you’ll connect immediately to the warmth and humor she exudes as she tells her story of resilience after growing up in an orphanage from birth till age 3 as an illegitimate daughter of an unwed mother in South Boston. Once she was adopted, she lived in a playpen on the outside porch until she was 6 years old so that her grandmother didn’t have to acknowledge her existence inside the house.

Fast forward and Dr. Dorothy is the author of several books such as Real Women Change The World: Letting the Good Girl Die so the Real Women Can Live, where she shares the importance of emotional intelligence, mindset, mindfulness, and communication as imperative tools for women in leadership.

She is also an international speaker, author, consultant/master coach, and frequent radio, podcast, and television guest is also Past-President of the National Speakers Association – CT and the founder of 4 companies.
In this episode you’ll hear:

Why do so many people choose to live in illusion- stuck in jobs that they hate or lives that don’t fulfill them.
We stay in situations that deplete us because there is a payoff in staying.
What is the story of “the victim” and how can you get out?
Why stagnancy in your life will eventually make you sick
What women’s leadership makes possible in the world.
How Dorothy’s traumatic upbringing informed her life helped her become who she is today.
What is the “risk” of transformation?
Why women are uniquely suited for helping the world to unify in a global community.

A psychotherapist, Dr. Dorothy was in practice for 25+ years. As a motivational speaker, Dr. Dorothy brought a history of living in an orphanage, being adopted and raised in the housing projects of South Boston in a violent alcoholic home. She later became a Catholic nun, an international airline stewardess, and so much more, showing that faith, humor, and passion make anything possible.

Today, whether supporting individual clients in recognizing and living their Purpose or supporting CEOs in creating a culture of Purpose within their organization, Dr. Dorothy brings first-hand knowledge of the challenges facing those who want to live and work in a culture that feeds rather than drains them.
In that light, Dorothy has supported highly successful women from all levels of success, from Park Ave, NYC to a small town in Maine. Consequently, patterns and similarities in leadership are readily understood as she brings extensive wisdom, knowledge, and experience to the table. Combining her recognition that mindset and communication skills set us apart, with her ability to make the complicated simple, Dr. Dorothy is someone to learn from whether as a speaker, trainer, coach, or consultant.

Episode 116: Dr. Nanilea Diamond - Remembering The Feminine Blueprint

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 02 Mar 2022 00:15:00 -0500

In this episode, Monica speaks to Dr. Nanilea Diamond about this time in our evolution and remembering the feminine blueprint.

I was positively on fire after recording this episode with Dr. NaniLea Diamond. Every cell in my body was vibrating. I know this happens to me when I am in the presence of someone who carries a very potent medicine within their message and through their being.

I was first tuned into Dr. Nanilea’s work through a mutual friend and was positively thrilled when she said yes to recording with me. Like many of us who have been integrating the experience of the pandemic, she too is emerging from another cycle of dormancy to bring her work to the world in a bigger way, and I’m so excited to share it with you!

What do your energy and frequency have to do with our ability to create?
How are women conditioned to stay in the patriarchal illusion of scarcity, and how does it impact us?
We are currently in an emergent 4,000-year cycle of feminine energy that’s influencing our planet. We are also in three new evolutionary cycles accelerating on the planet that have never been seen before. What does this mean for women?
How can women embrace and create with this new energy?
What does it cost women to not show up powerfully at this time?
How can women ride the waves of energy happening and embrace the initiation process into a new awareness?
What is the feminine blueprint, and how can we remember it?

Dr. Nanilea Diamond is an expert in Energy Dynamics and is here to bring women into their Full Glory through accessing, aligning with, and creating from their feminine power. Dr. Nanilea has extensive training and experience in working with the patterning of the human nervous system, and a specialty in working with women in feminine leadership, and high achiever lifestyle. She is the creator of the Feminine Blueprint, a design that offers women a feminine approach and model to life leadership that aligns with her feminine intelligence, essence, and guidance system.

Dr. Nanilea has founded several successful businesses over the last two decades with wellness centers in San Francisco and Beverly Hills, working with thousands of people seeking peak performance and cutting edge energy-based technologies to give them access to new possibilities in the human experience. Nanilea is currently based out of Austin, Texas, where she lives with her husband and son and has founded Sacred Feminine Leadership, a tribe of women here to break the mold and build the new.

Nanilea has helped thousands of women transform their lives. She often meets women at crossroads in their lives and helps them use the experience as an opportunity for accelerated growth and awakening. She has worked with women in a wide range of experiences, from extreme trauma to women navigating the nuances of entrepreneurship, dating, marriage, children, and their own sacred dreams and passions. Nanilea thrives on meeting women wherever they are, seeing them as the version of themselves in their full glory and helping them awaken to living that. Then, from that place of her cup runneth over, give to humanity in extraordinary ways. She gently holds you accountable to the embodiment and expression of your highest intentions as a woman for yourself in your life. She reminds us that what we emanate in our lived experiences is our greatest offering to the world. When we have tended to our own heart and emanate unconditional LOVE, everything in our life turns to gold... and the purpose of life is to touch as many lives as possible with that golden light. But, first, we must live it in our own embodiment.

Episode 24: Karen Anderson - The MotherLode

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 20 May 2020 03:00:00 -0400

Karen Anderson is leading the conversation about healing the generational wounds between mothers and daughters and using this challenging relationship as an opportunity and a catalyst for growth, leadership, wisdom, and creativity. Karen challenges the current patriarchal definitions of these energies and notes that for millennia, women have been burnt at the stake (literally and metaphorically) when we wield our emotions, power, and creativity intentionally. She acknowledges the many women in our maternal lineages that have suffered mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically as a result of the unexpressed emotion, the unused power, and the untapped creativity within them. Karen hopes to disrupt these generational patterns through a project she calls The Motherlode.

In it, she will be highlighting twenty creative women who have learned from their difficult relationship to their mothers, specifically around power, emotion, and creativity, and how to alchemize these energies in service to their leadership, relationships, and work, and why it matters.

Listen in as Karen and I unpack the importance of revealing and healing these generational wounds and why they are such a rich source of insight for our leadership with other women. If you would like to participate in The Mother Lode, simply visit Karen’s website.

Karen is the author of several books, most notably:

“From the time you were born, and even when you were in the womb, your relationship with your mother served as a blueprint for your relationship with yourself. Your mother’s beliefs were the basis for your own. You learned to treat yourself the way your mother treated herself, and the way she treated you. This is generally an unconscious process.” ~ Difficult Mothers, Adult Daughters: A Guide For Separation, Liberation & Inspiration

Show notes:

The term “motherlode“ refers to the source of gold from which small nuggets originated, a principal source or supply.

Sometimes women are left out of the conversation about the divine feminine if they don’t identify with terms like ”goddess."

Our relationships with our mothers can serve as a blueprint for our relationships with ourselves.

Many of us have been our mothers’ “student” for decades and may have been handed beliefs and values about our bodies, identity sexuality, gender, etc.

A deeper examination of what our mothers taught us about emotion, power, and creativity can be a valuable source of insight and revelation as it relates to our own personal leadership.

If women are to have more say in the world, more of us need to understand and teach, directly and explicitly, and by consciously modeling the true nature of emotion, power, and creativity, not the current patriarchal definitions.

Many of us have been taught that emotion is weak vs. a powerful source of energy to summon.
