Many of us have experienced a breach of consent.
Whether it’s the person who’s immediately in your DMs trying to sell you something the moment you added them as a connection on social media, or the person who gives you a hug that lasts a little too long when you reach out your hand for a handshake, we know what that breach feels like.
And the context for consent goes beyond bodily autonomy. Consent matters in our businesses.
Kelly Diels joins India to discuss integrating consent into your business, how the concept of refreshing consent has evolved the way she shows up online, and common mistakes and misconceptions around creating a culture of consent in your marketing.
Content Note: This episode contains non-detailed mentions of the experience childhood sexual violence.

Posting photos or stories about the kids in our lives has become habitual for many of us. We need to move away from making assumptions, and instead, toward a place of consent and autonomy. Pause on the Play®, The Community members Stacie Lampkin and Shannon Collins have facilitated a workshop where they encourage folks to re-examine our approach in how we share about children in online spaces.
Whether you have children in your life or not, this workshop will support you in reconsidering your why in how we interact with children from a place of respecting their full consent, especially around publicly posting private information. Community members have evergreen access to this workshop replay and our entire library of resources.

Integrating Values Into The Art Of Online Business with Rick Mulready
What would it mean to have a business that feels as good to you as it appears on the outside?
How would it feel to have a business that is aligned with your values and is creating and infusing those values into everything it does? That supports and protects people from all backgrounds, especially those who have underrepresented and marginalized identities?
Rick Mulready joins India to reflect on his journey of bringing his values into his business and his podcast without sacrificing success or growth, and how his approach to integrating his values into the business continues to evolve over time.
In this discussion:
- How to use your platform to explicitly communicate your values
- How social media turns values into a shallow commodity used for approval
- Why your values need to be infused into how you show up on your platform and in your content
- Why conventional business advice isn’t for everyone, and how to let go of what doesn’t work for you

In this discussion:
