003 | Showing Up For Yourself Tactically & Spiritually With Nikki Brafman

02/12/20 • 86 min

I am extremely excited to introduce my guest for this episode, Nikki Brafman.
I would be doing Nikki a disservice if I called her a “business coach”. Instead I will use her own words. Nikki likes to say she shows up for entrepreneurs as a strategic, tactical, and spiritual coach. She focuses on teaching them how to reduce chaos in their lives and businesses. I can say first hand, as a former client, she does EXACTLY what she says she does!
I first met Nikki last year through a mutual friend. My friend could tell I was overwhelmed with my business, Franklin & Whitman, and it was growing clear that I needed to talk to someone about it. I had never worked with a business coach before so I really had no idea what to expect. Little did I know that not only was I signing up for a business coach, but I was gaining a new close friend.
In this episode we start out talking about how Nikki went from working for entrepreneurs to working with them as a coach. As our conversation grows more personal, we dive into her time living in Israel and how it changed her outlook on day to day life. We round out the conversation focusing on how Nikki discovered the personality model, Human Design, and how she quickly became obsessed with it and realized she could use not only to work on herself but also use it as a tool when dealing with her coaching clients.
Nikki likes to say self-excavation is a crucial practice for creatives and entrepreneurs and it can look like a different and unique process for each individual. She strives to give permission for people to seek help in good times and bad. She’s done that for me and I cannot thank her enough for it. I couldn’t be happier that she agreed to be a guest and I hope you enjoy our conversation!

002 | Sparking Creativity And Creating A Prescription For Joy With Georgie Morley

In this episode I welcome Georgie Morley as the first official guest on the podcast. Georgie is a coffee-loving creator of her blog, georgiemorley.com, and the Chasing Joy Podcast, an online platform that inspires joy and personal growth through compassion and self-discovery.

I first met Georgie a few years ago at an event Franklin & Whitman was sponsoring. Over the years we’ve grown closer, she’s been a part of several of Franklin & Whitman’s charity events, and, last year, I was lucky enough to be a guest on her podcast. Instead of recording it remotely, I flew up to Nantucket and spent time with her, her awesome husband Chris, and her amazing family.

In this episode we start out talking about how Georgie went from working in marketing for a large beverage company to making the leap to bet on herself and create her own brand. As our conversation grows more personal, we pivot to a deeper level talking about her ongoing battle with depression and how she brings a layer of compassion and awareness around mental health to all her work.

When I came up with the idea of this podcast I remember saying to myself “someday I hope Georgie will be a guest on it” and now she’s the first guest. In the episode I learned a ton about Georgie and also a ton about what it means to host a podcast. I hope you enjoy our conversation, I know I did!

004 | Leaning Into Your Pain/Healing And Turning It Into A Passion With Remy Park

I am extremely excited to introduce my guest Remy Park.

I first met Remy a few years ago. I was throwing a Franklin & Whitman’s Yoga For The Pups charity event and my friend Caitlyn Shoemaker, @frommybowl on Instagram, was coming to Philly to be a part of it. She asked me if her friend Remy could come down from New York to be a guest. From the moment I picked Remy up at the train station I knew we would be friends. We got along immediately and have been close ever since. Over the last few years she has been a part of several of our charity events, both in Philly and NYC, and we’ve attended different events together as well from The GOOD Fest to Expo West.

In this episode we start out talking about how Remy went from working a full-time job to making the leap to make her website and social platforms her new career. Most of the conversation, however, focuses on her battle with both her eating disorder and addiction issues. She shares the stories of how they both started, the toll they took on her teen years, and how she found a new balance in life and made focusing on her health, both mental and physical, a priority.

Remy is one of my most favorite people in the world. She’s so creative, smart, and she always makes me laugh...and I couldn’t be happier that she agreed to be a guest. I couldn’t thank her enough for being so genuine and transparent, especially when talking about her mental health and addiction issues.

I hope you enjoy our conversation!
