#92 - 3 Secrets to Sustainable New Years Resolutions
Don’t be an asshole
When you’re setting your new years resolution, don’t be an asshole to yourself. If you never went to the gym in 2023, don’t set a resolution of 2 hours at the gym every day in 2024.
If you’re just starting your business, don’t set the resolution of $10k months or bust.
New years is a powerful time to reflect and set intentions but what resolution would you suggest to your best friend. If she wanted to get in shape maybe you’d recommend going on hiking a few times a month or signing up for a weekly hip hop dance class with the teacher she loves.
Or if you’re starting a business your resolution could be to learn how to love yourself when you get rejected (because if you didn’t already know rejection is a big part of sales and marketing!)
My loving resolutions are:
Love myself even if I make a mistake
Have my own back even if I lose money, hurt someone’s feelings or get rejected
And trust that the universe loves me and has my back too
These resolutions are going to lead to financial growth in my business because the more I do these things for myself, the more I’ll be able to put myself out there and unabashedly help my ppl. But they’re going to lead to the kind of financial growth I want. If my goal was just $10k months, I could get there by hustling and grinding and hating myself. I’d prefer to love myself towards more cash
2) Heal
With every goal, you can hustle your way there or you can heal your way there. So for me, growing my business is my main practical goal or resolution. And I can do that by working harder, getting up earlier, doing a million cold calls and cold DMs.
Or I can do it by noticing that my anxious attachment from childhood gets triggered if a client wants to quit midway through their program. And then I can work on healing that inner child. Validating her rage about her parent who wasn’t there when she needed them. Sit with her in her fear. Comfort her. Love her. And then come back to the client situation from a more grounded centred adult place that can see the situation as it is. That the client is making a choice and she’s allowed to and to address it from there.
When it’s so exhausting if a client mentions quitting, unconsciously I don’t want too many clients because then I have that cognitive load of what if they quit and I panic. The more I heal the panic, the more I’m willing to attract more clients.
3) Intuition
All new years resolutions requires problem solving. If your goal is to go hiking a few times a month but when Sunday morning comes your bed feels extra warm and cozy and you don’t actually go, you gotta pivot.So tune into your intuition and ask. I studied my own intuition intensely when I lived at Yasodhara Ashram which is in the Sivananda lineage. What I learned there is to tune into your intuition it can be helpful to take a few deep breaths, meditate or recite a mantra to centre yourself. And then ask your intuition what baby step you could take towards getting in better shape.
Maybe the answer is that Sunday mornings are sacred cozy time and so instead you could go for a 20 minute walk in your neighborhood a few evening weeknights every week. Or maybe the response is to ask your best friend to join you on the hike because that’ll make it more fun and motivating.
Hugs,
Bryn

Ep #90 - ADHD Tendencies with Shaun Roney
I can, unfortunately, admit I’ve definitely had ableist thoughts like:

“If he was more organized, maybe he’d get ahead.”
“Why can’t they be more productive?”
Which is why I’m super happy to have Shaun Roney, coach for women with ADHD tendencies on the Sacred Goals Podcast to teach you how to best support your clients or students with ADHD tendencies. She shares her personal journey to getting diagnosed, what to look out for if you think you might have ADHD and what ableist thoughts to keep your eye on in your own brain.

Ep #88 - Taking Breaks to Increase Creativity with Luke Anderson
I have not historically been good at taking breaks. I’m someone who if I had any addiction it was workaholism and so filling up every crack and crevice of my time was the best way to not feel.
But that has resulted in me burning out multiple times and so I'm so happy that Luke Anderson, the Founder of the Stop Gap Foundation and I got together to talk about how taking breaks actually increases your creativity.
After the pandemic, a lot of us are feeling burnout and exhausted and so we need to find ways to recharge and reinvigorate our lives.

Ep # 86 - Truth Telling in the Patriarchy with Brooke Warner
When you put a creative project out into the world, there’s going to be pushback from the patriarchy.

Ep #82 - I'm Queer
I started exploring my queerness in my early 20s. Because I’m attracted men, for a long time I thought I was straight. Also because in movies I only saw images of straight people and whenever someone was bisexual it was because they were a nymphomaniac obsessed with sex and I didn’t feel like that.
But then when I was volunteering at the Gender Issues Centre at my university I actually allowed myself to explore who I was attracted to and realized I was attracted to all genders.
I came out to my family and friends. And I thought I was done. But I soon realized how easy it was to slip back into the closet, especially since I do date men.
People would assume I’m straight and I wouldn’t correct them. And when a friend who identifies as a lesbian questioned if my queerness was real, I ran back into the closet.
In this episode I share my journey with my sexuality and where I am with it now.

Ep #79 - Time Hacking with Vikki Louise
Vikki went from procrastinating all the time in corporate to working 80 hour work weeks in her first business. Then she figured out how to make $100K in 6 months, much faster than everyone kept telling her it would take. She realized, “Things just take time” is a lie and applied what she learned to make $100k in 6 weeks and then in 2 weeks.
She’s now a Feminist Time Coach and makes amazing money while works 15 hours a week (or even less these days because she’s currently pregnant…)
In this episode, she’s going to teach you how to hack time and achieve whatever your sacred goal is even more quickly than you imagined.

Ep #78 - Feminist Style Coach Judith Gaton
In this white supremist patriarchy you've been led to believe that style is only about being “pleasing” to men or “fitting in” at work and feminist style coach Judith and I are here to BLOW UP that idea.
Style can be fun or sexy or playful or boss. It can be an expression of your creativity or a source of your comfort. Clothes are here to support you, the leading actor in your life.
We talk about janky ass panties and dressing silly for fun. And taking it one baby step at a time. Throw out one old dirty sweatshirt. Buy one piece that sets your heart on fire.
Taking baby steps often is what leads to massive changes over the years. LFG!!

Ep #77 - Social Justice Marketing
When I started my business, I loved working with clients but I hated the sales and marketing process. I wished someone would come and deliver me clients.
But in time, I've learned marketing can be fun and an outlet for my rage about the patriarchy. And I'm reading Nelson Mandala's book right now and realizing how essential marketing it is when it comes to making social change.

Ep #75 - Failure
Failing means you're way closer to success than when you're hiding.
Take dating for example. If you're out there going on dates, sometimes getting ghosted, sometimes realizing you don't like the person, you're so much closer to finding the right person compared to the person who's sitting at home swiping but never meeting anyone.
Getting ghosted fucking sucks. And believe there were times when I made it mean that I was unlovable and would never find love and it was incredibly painful.
But the truth is getting ghosted means you're close to finding your person or people. Because you're willing to risk rejection. And you're getting to know more about what kind of person you want to date. And you're learning to be authentic around new people.
So when the right person comes around, you'll be ready.
Listen to the episode to learn why failure feels so painful and how to use it to succeed at your sacred goal.

Ep #74 - My Misogyny
When one of my coaches bought a second Audi, I had a ton of judgement. I was like does she not care about the environment? She's so wasteful with her money.
But then after some reflection I realized that Dax Sheppard, who's podcast I love and listen to often, has about 15 vehicles. And I've never once judged him.
If women have money, I'm very judgemental of what they do with it. But with men, not so much.
And this is fucking with my sacred goal of building my business, helping more people and building more wealth.

Ep #73 - The Orgasm Gap
Heterosexual women have the fewest orgasms out of all people, with 65% saying they often orgasm which is compared to 95% of heterosexual men.
The orgasm gap is caused by the patriarchy. Folks socialized as women are taught to take care of everyone else’s needs before their own.

Ep #71 - Period and Peri-Menopause Power with Maisie Hill
The M-F work week was created for cis men’s hormone cycles.
And the more you know about YOUR hormone cycle, the better you can optimize it for your career and personal life.
Maisie Hill, author and reproductive cycle expert, teaches that our menstrual cycle has seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall. And as you head into perimenopause, the cycle initially gets SHORTER and then longer as you begin to “skip” periods.
If you track your cycle, it can be like the weather forecast “it’s going to be rainy so better pack an umbrella!” An umbrella could be scheduling rest time after a social event.
Or even plan accordingly “it’s going to be a snow storm, so no big events during this time.”
Maisie shares personal stories and scientific research so that you get the map of your hormones that’ll explain so much and give you more ease. If you have a menstrual cycle YOU HAVE TO LISTEN!!

Ep #69 - Multi-Millions & Meeting Liz Gilbert with Dr. Sunny Smith
Sunny Smith MD found herself in a hospital bed with both arms and her face broken. All the things she usually did as a physician and a mom she suddenly couldn’t do. She couldn’t even watch tv because of her concussion but a friend recommended a podcast and she began to learn about the power of her thoughts.
Fast forward a few years and she now continues to work as a physician, is Founder and CEO of Empowering Women Physicians, a multi-million dollar coaching business and has had Elizabeth Gilbert as a guest teacher. She is among the top female entrepreneurs in the United States and recently raised $271K to pay off the educational debt of the descendants of Henrietta Lacks.

Ep #68 - Biggest Money Blocks for Spiritual Entrepreneurs
The biggest money block for spiritual entrepreneurs is “What I’m doing isn’t working and I don’t know how to fix it”
This creates a feeling of powerlessness and makes it incredibly challenging to make decisions and execute on them.
The solution is to ask your guides “What parts of what I’m doing IS working? And what parts need to be tweaked or changed?”
Maybe you’re posting on social media and you’re getting some engagement but no sales calls booked.
So your posts are building relationships and maybe you need more time or maybe you aren’t asking for the sales call in the majority of your posts so that’s what needs to be tweaked.
As you learn to evaluate the work that you’re doing and see what parts are already working you can build confidence in yourself as an entrepreneur and then the sky's the limit.
If you want to learn more about these money blocks and the other biggest money blocks for spiritual entrepreneurs, listen to the latest episode of the podcast.

Ep #67 - Introvert Holiday Survival Guide
During the holidays there are so many events and gatherings to attend. For extroverts, that’s no problem. But for those of us who are introverted, it can be an absolute nightmare, because we lose our alone time to recharge.
And let’s not forget that our families can trigger us like no one else and often the holidays involve time with family.
Over the years, I’ve learned to take better care of myself. I now allow myself to say no to invitations. Or if I want to go to a multiday event, I allow myself to spend time alone in an empty room reading or let’s be real Netflixing.
So what can you do to protect yourself this holiday season? Listen to Ep #67 of the Trauma Informed Witch Podcast podcast to learn more.

Ep #66 - What I Learned Managing $2.5 Billion with Mariko Gordon
Mariko Gordon built a $2.5B money management firm from scratch, flying her freak flag high. It had a weird name, a non-Wall Street culture, and a quirky communication Style.
In 1995, when Mariko founded Daruma, only a handful of women of color owned their firms. She had to noodle out how to run a business while daily duking it out with Mr. Market and raising a family.
Today she mentors women who want to start a business, turn their side hustle into their living, better manage their finances, or work through a tricky patch in life or business.
She is also a poet, hypnotist, life coach, hula dancer, and Treasurer on the Board of the Asian American Writers’ Workshop.
In this episode, we talk about the essence of money, what money means and how to take care of yourself so you can be well resourced to have a good life and also fight the systems of patriarchy, racism, and other forms of oppression.

She offers that your money making is HOW we change the world; financial freedom is indeed a powerful thing.

#64 - Receiving Money Block
Did you know that if you’re bad at receiving compliments, that’s actually a money block? Here’s how it works:
- If you are bad at receiving compliments, you aren’t fully owning how powerful and amazing you are
- And when you downplay your amazingness, it’s harder to charge a high rate, advocate for a higher salary and to say no to giving your time away for free to things that are out of alignment for you
And this is going to BLOCK money coming to you.
In this episode, I share a personal story of bumping up against this money block and where it comes from for me and possibly for you. And I share some techniques on how to overcome it so you can hit your next income goal and a way that’s ethical and easeful.
Did you resonate with this episode and want to explore whether working together will help you break through?

Ep #59 - Fantasty vs Action with Boris Yurganov
After watching Jean-Claude Van Damme martial arts movie at age 6, Boris knew he wanted to be an actor, but then got stuck playing it safe with a physical therapy job.
He would dream and dream about being an actor but wasn’t taking any real steps towards it.
This fantasy was in some ways keeping him safe but in other ways keeping him stagnant and unfulfilled.
At age 38, realizing and owning that he was living in fantasy allowed him to break free and actually move to California and wholeheartedly pursue his dream.

Ep #54 - I'm Angry...
The Monday to Friday work week was created based on cis men’s hormone cycle. If you have testes, your hormone cycle is 24 hours. So you basically have the same amount of energy every day.
If you’re menstruating, your hormone cycle is 28 days and so you’ll have weeks that are higher energy and ENTIRE WEEKS that are lower energy. In perimenopause, this gets more sporadic but is still not 24 hours.
You’re expected to show up to work with the same amount of energy every day. Except if you have female anatomy, you don’t have the same amount of energy every day.
This is painful. In this episode, I rant about this and other injustices.

Ep #53 - Stop Being a “Good Girl”
If you were socialized as a female you were taught to be:
- quiet
- small
- pretty but not too sexy
- thin
- and to take care of everyone else around you before yourself
It’s suffocating to try to follow all these rules at once. So fuck that patriarchal bullshit.
Your homework today is to do something bad that’s aligned with your heart and your intuition.
Because the more folks socialized as women break out of these fucking patriarchal boxes and get all the energy they were using to be perfect “good girls” back, the more energy you’ll have to make your own dreams come true.
And when women have more money and power, they donate more to charity and lift other marginalized groups up.
So do something bad today that feels aligned with your heart.
And if you want some one-on-one support on this issue, reach out. I’m happy to have a free chat with you where you can tell me all your dreams and goals, we can talk about the patriarchal bullshit that’s draining your energy, and explore whether I can help you get the eff out and create your dream life. Email me at bryn@brynbamber.com to schedule.

Ep #50 - Sacred Procrastination
A client thought she was procrastinating but we realized that it was actually a sacred decision to wait because there was some healing she needed to do first.
With another client, at the beginning of our session, she said she wanted to work her procrastination but by the end of the session she realized she was doing so much and was prioritizing what was most important.
Capitalist culture puts productivity before all else but actually sometimes it’s important to slow down and let yourself heal before taking the next step. I also share my personal story about navigating procrastination and healing.

The night I thought I was going to be raped…
I wanted to share this story because I think it’s important when we’re healed enough and ready to share our stories and also because I’ll use it to teach the difference between fight, flight, freeze, and fawn.
Fawn is a nervous system response that’s common for women and also other genders and can keep us safe in dangerous situations.

Ep #46 - Pandemic PTSD
The past 12 months have been incredibly challenging with the global pandemic, continued racial injustice, instability in the economy, and unprecedented natural disasters. As many parts of the country remain freezing cold and in lockdown, there's a continued impact on your mental health.
In this episode you'll learn:
- what to do when you feel anxious or depressed
- simple strategies to feel better
- that you're not alone in the mental health challenges you're facing
- and how to process the impacts of both mild and severe PTSD
Ep#45 - Trauma Brain
If you grew up experiencing trauma at home or you were bullied at school, you learned that clear direct healthy boundaries don't work. You probably at one point were direct with your NO and it wasn't respected. So you stopped using clear boundaries and learned other ways to keep yourself safe and get your needs partially met. These ways became the habits that make up your trauma brain.
In this episode, you'll learn about how to identify when it's your "trauma brain" speaking and how to gently shift into listening more often to your "secure brain." Your trauma brain is exactly what you needed to survive those difficult experiences but now it's holding you back from making more money, building fulfilling relationships and feeling more confident.
