This week on the show, Shelley Paxton joins me to talk about liberating the souls of leaders and organizations, writing her book - "Soulbbatical" and being a Chief Soul Officer of your own life.

I also shared my thoughts on staying longer, moving and settling down. I am also launching a 10 week group program that i'm calling The Fireside Wisdom Sessions.

Shelley and I discuss:

  • Following someone else's path to success and losing her sense of self along the way
  • Being in her masculine and putting her armour on while operating in the corporate world
  • Being largely on her masculine means being on her protective warrior mode
  • How being in your masculine is largely required in the corporate world

  • Not being able to get into the vulnerable space, playful space is inhibiting our creativity and our innovation
  • Tapping into your creativity and acknowledging your truth
  • Understanding and knowing your soul
  • Principles to Soulbbatical
  • Authenticity as the truest form of rebellion
  • Be careful of the compromises you make in your life
  • The top leader should set the tone, expectations and what success and reward would look like

This week on the show, Robert Kandell joins me to talk about getting honest with one’s self, the effect of withholding your truth from your intimate partner, and his book - unHIDDEN: A Book for Men and Those Confused by Them.

Robert and I discuss:

  • Living the American dream (which was also his father's dream)

  • How his intense experiences in Burning Man made him rediscover the world

  • Key moment when he realized things weren't working

  • Process of getting honest with yourself:

    • Confronting your thoughts

    • Getting curious about those thoughts

    • Researching those curiosities

  • Terminal uniqueness is when we think we are the only person in the entire world that has this particular thought which creates a lot of fear to come out

  • Instead of spending our energies beating ourselves up, spend that energy creating the life you truly want

  • Our greatest fear is that we will end up alone and that fear is what stops us from living

  • How we are forced to wear the facade about who we are

  • The communication you need to make in the proper form in order to actually be authentic

  • Frameworks on teaching people to communicate

  • If you want to have a masterful relationship, you have to build the foundation early on by authentically relating

  • We are constantly looking externally from ourselves to perceive our value

  • Compromise equates to acquiescence

  • Extending the conversation until both people feel right about the decision

  • Every time you lie, you are creating distance

  • About his book “unHIDDEN: A Book for Men and Those Confused by Them”

Jonathon studies male behavior. He listens to women and what they want when it comes to love. Most importantly, he is gifted at bridging the gap between the two. He started to see patterns in the things women complained about most and those that continually baffled men.
