11/13/23 • 50 min

Short N' Sweet: A Donut Princess Podcast

In this episode of my podcast, "Short and Sweet," I had the privilege of having Lauraine Mann who is a psycho-somatic therapist with expertise in psychology and energy healing. Our conversation delved into the fascinating world of somatic therapy, emphasizing the crucial connection between our minds and bodies. Lauraine shared her personal journey and how somatic therapy had a profound impact on her life, allowing her to explore and unlock deeply buried emotions and experiences stored in her body. We also discussed the concept of the inner child, which I personally resonated with, and the strong desire to provide comfort and understanding to our inner child. Lauraine stressed the importance of giving that inner child a voice. The conversation then shifted to a scientific perspective, with a discussion about how animals naturally release trauma through physical responses, while humans often hold onto it due to societal conditioning. We underscored the significance of acknowledging and releasing stored trauma in our bodies. The episode concluded with a message of self-compassion and the potential for healing and personal growth through somatic therapy.

Here are the five golden nuggets of knowledge shared by Lauraine, providing valuable insights into reconnecting with your authentic self and experiencing true aliveness through somatic therapy!

Breathe and Pause: Lauraine emphasizes the importance of taking a moment to breathe before responding to someone's question. This simple practice provides a moment of pause, helping you reconnect with your energy and gain better access to yourself.
Play and Find Joy: Rediscovering what brings joy to your system is vital. Whether it's going for a walk, listening to music, or spending time with friends, allowing yourself to play and have fun is essential for personal well-being.
Read and Get Lost: Lauraine recommends getting lost in a book or any form of literature that resonates with you. Reading allows you to discover more about yourself through the words and experiences of others.
Take Risks: Taking risks is an important aspect of personal growth. It could be having a difficult conversation, trying something new, or even indulging in a treat like eating ice cream. The key is to push past fear because on the other side lies immense pleasure and growth.
Seek Help and Self-Permission: Lauraine acknowledges the importance of self-worth and self-permission. It's okay to seek help and show vulnerability, as doing so can lead to valuable self-discovery and personal growth.

94. Cracking the Code of Branding: Journey to Empower Entrepreneurs with Sarah Sambles

In the world of branding and marketing, Sarah Sambles, a copywriter and coach, passionately helps small business owners, especially those in content-based fields like coaching, writing, and education, define their core message. She excels in crafting narrative-based copy that not only appeals to their audience but also authentically represents who they are. Sarah's journey into coaching and branding began when she realized her knack for marketing while working in a high-tech agency in England. Her love for literature led her to write children's stories, where she identified the struggle many creative authors had with marketing. This realization birthed her career as a branding coach. Sarah emphasizes that branding takes time, breaking it down into an acronym, T.I.M.E., with each letter representing essential aspects of the branding process. She busts myths around overnight success and encourages her clients to find their unique theme, be intentional, build momentum through consistency, and embrace empathy in their messaging. Sarah's approach focuses on helping her clients understand the power of their brand story, reminding them that it's a valuable tool for connecting with their audience and guiding them towards successful decision-making in their business.

Here are the five nuggets of wisdom, shared by Sara Sambles, that offer valuable insights into writing effective emails that people will want to open and engage with!

Consistent Email Sending: Make it a point to send emails regularly. Even if it's not every day, consistency matters. Understand what's holding you back from sending emails and overcome those barriers.
Write to One Person: When crafting your emails, envision a single ideal recipient. Understand their needs, struggles, and preferences. Writing as if you're communicating directly with that person can result in more compelling emails.
Listen to Your Audience: Pay attention to what your audience is responding to in your previous content. If you're unsure, conduct surveys or ask them questions to better understand their interests and needs.
Provide Value: Ensure that your emails offer valuable content. Consider what your audience would find helpful, informative, or motivational. High-quality content will engage your readers.
Write the Subject Line Last: Don't start with your email subject line. Write your email first, brainstorm and organize your ideas, and then create a subject line that encapsulates the email's essence. This approach helps prevent writer's block.
