TRANSCRIPT:
[00:00:00] Sheridan: By the end of this episode, you will have clarity on the unseen aspects of your psyche and business that not even your therapist would be able to see and how to use that to create more income and more impact.
[00:00:12] You’re about to learn the behind the scenes on what sustainable 5k months looks and feels like exactly how to use therapy and coaching to build a body based business and how to know if my program body based business is worth the investment.
[00:00:47] So this episode kind of came into inspiration because I was, two things happened in one week. Number one, I was sitting with one of my [00:01:00] really wonderful, beautiful clients who I’ve been working with for a while now. And she, She came to me because she was really working through a lot of deep trauma that was affecting that was giving her anxiety that was affecting her self esteem that was making her feel like she couldn’t trust herself or her intuition or even the sensations inside of her body.
[00:01:24] It was affecting her sleep and it was affecting her at work and she was in the middle of making all of these big. Professional decisions and life decisions and relational decisions. And she was having anxiety about it. And we’ve gone through a process of really working through a lot of that pain and discomfort and trauma that was influencing the way that she’s been relating to life and herself.
[00:01:50] She sat down and she goes, she came in, she had like this big smile on her face and all of these things had been happening and she’d been writing inside of our [00:02:00] telegram tech support, all of these amazing celebrations. And, you know, we go through the celebrations and she kind of looks at me and she’s like, you know, Sharon, is this normal?
[00:02:09] Like. After we’ve done all of his deep work, all of these amazing things are just falling into place so easily. That’s like, is this normal? And I kind of looked at her and you know, I answered in the way that I answer in a coaching session and in the back of my mind, I was like, yes. And I said this as well.
[00:02:36] I was like, yes, yes, this is what happens. We get to a point where we work through all of this heavy stuff and just all of the things fall into place. And we’re going to come a full cycle as to how this applies to business, but all of the things fall into place and it feels so good. Oh, it feels so easy and it feels so good.[00:03:00]
[00:03:02] 90 percent of the time, sometimes it doesn’t.
[00:03:10] Yeah, there is a path to get there. There is a path to get there. We’re going to talk about that path, but it happened coinciding with something that happened to me personally. And I was, you know, doing my work and I was doing, a somatic practice that I do around work, um, and how I feel about it and I teach it to my clients as well.
[00:03:30] And I was kind of doing this practice and I was noticing something. I was thinking, Oh my God, I am bored in my business. I am bored. I’m so bored. I’m the type of person who needs a lot of simulation. Um, call it like Gemini rising or gate nine in human design or.
[00:03:55] ADHD, whatever it is. Um, I’ve really gone from overthinking [00:04:00] absolutely everything into my work and feeling overwhelmed by all of it and never being able to turn my mind off, like racing thoughts at night, dreaming about work, um, you know, being that person that’s like at 2 a. m. Oh, I’m just going to like, think about this real and plan this real, feeling more anxious as I rested on the weekends.
[00:04:18] If I let myself rest , I’ve gone from that to actually being bored in my business because now my business is so easy. And it’s so simple and every single month I hit my income goals and I have lots of free time and I love all of my clients and I’m kind of smiling as I say this because it’s all of my dreams come true and now that it’s here I’m like cool what’s next but I’ve gotten bored in it and it’s not a bad thing like I’m not bored by my actual clients I’m just ready for the next thing um which is my book but that’s For another episode, but this ability to feel so entertained with being [00:05:00] bored and feel so entertained with all of these sudden celebrations and sudden amazing things has happened because I have combined the best.
[00:05:09] The absolute best of the therapeutic world with the coaching world to create body based business. Body based business is a one on one program. It’s a four month coaching program that helps you create sustainable, simple and strategic 5k months using nervous system awareness and trauma healing. It is a somatic therapy, coaching, business, and business coaching.
[00:05:35] What does that mean? Let’s look at what traditional therapy does. Traditional therapy, Is the treatment of mental conditions by verbal communication and interaction, according to Google. And depending on the type of therapy, somatic work may be involved. So work, including your body may be involved. However, even if somatic work was [00:06:00] involved, which is kind of like the, like the gold standard for, for therapeutic processes at this point, even if it is involved.
[00:06:09] Is that therapist going to be under, going to be able to understand the nuances of online business, visibility, entrepreneurship, income, ebbs and flows, um, how religious trauma or financial trauma or even birth trauma or your partnership or your, all of these things affect your business and how your business in turn affects them.
[00:06:32] Chances are no. And this is actually quite a big problem. When you enter into entrepreneurship, your trauma and dysregulation will show up. I am yet to meet a single person who has gotten out of this. Like it’s going to show up because we’re talking about how people perceive you, your situation in the tribe, your resources, your security, your sense [00:07:00] of self, your sense of faith, your shame, your confidence, all of these things, it’s going to come up and This is why I’ve created, it’s not why I’ve created.
[00:07:12] It’s why I was kind of invited into BBB from my clients and from people who saw what I was doing and said, Hey, you have something really special here. You need to do more of it. You need to help entrepreneurs with this. And that special thing is this hybrid between somatic therapy and business coaching.
[00:07:33] So let’s just look at what somatic therapy is. Somatic therapy is a body centric approach that works by helping to relieve stress, tension and trauma from the body. Somatic therapy. It includes a lot. It’s a umbrella name for a lot of different techniques and tools that maybe you’ve heard of Polly bagel theory or somatic experiencing or yoga therapy, um, [00:08:00] focusing.
[00:08:00] These are things that are Eastern. Medicine has used for hundreds and thousands of years, and we’ve known that it’s been supportive, but now modern day science and western science recognizes somatic therapy as the most effective way to create change for good.
[00:08:22] The people who come to work with me come to work with me because they want to feel grounded for good. They want change for good, and they want to be able to take on the challenges of their life and their entrepreneurial journey while filling clarity, space, and ease.
[00:08:37] They want an approach that will keep working long. After the time with me is up. And this is why we focus on somatic approach. Evidence consistently shows us that what happens to you in your life is stored in your mind and your body. Therefore addressing the body through the nervous system and emotions is a much more effective and efficient approach to healing and
[00:09:00] expansion than simply talking or contemplating or writing.
[00:09:04] or thinking or educating yourself on the issues, which is more what traditional therapy or personal development does. If you are doing traditional therapy or personal development, um, even mindset work alone, it is possible that past events are not being integrated and healed, which will result in the same patterns resurfacing over and over again, or you feeling like you are stuck.
[00:09:33] We’re not here to be stuck. We’re here to expand. This is why a body based business has this somatic component. It also has a business coaching component. So business coaching is a process in which a professional coach guides a business person in the pursuit of their work goals.
[00:09:48] What does this mean in our context? Basically, Like one of my clients said last night, she said, buddy based business has helped me create a business plan that is informed by my nervous system. [00:10:00] It is a business plan that I can execute. It is a business plan that I am proud of their business systems and structures that I am proud of.
[00:10:08] And, and she looked at me and she had like this beautiful eyes and she goes, I could not have done this without you, Sheridan, because we have sat every week and we have said, okay, here’s the business plan that we have created. Here are the goals. Here are the actions that need to be executed. How are we going to get this business person, you?
[00:10:31] Towards that goal. What support do you need? What clarity, what guidance? How are we gonna get you to that goal? And we have repeated that until there’s been so much momentum that she’s signing clients like never before. She’s expressing herself, like never before. She’s able to make decisions like never before.
[00:10:50] The procrastinating, the procrastination, and the perfectionism completely gone. And this will be true for you too, when you start working inside with me in body-based [00:11:00] business. So let’s just do a little summary. We work inside a body based business through a hybrid model of somatic therapy and business coaching.
[00:11:13] We look at how your body, which by the way, holds seven generations of information relates to business so that we can create profitable and anxiety free. Months in your business. When you work with me, we look at the deeper pains that every single human on earth holds through business This can be compared to like I don’t know even if you went to like say a general EMDR Therapist focusing on grief.
[00:11:42] Let’s just say that you’re there you’re working with somebody like that because you’ve gone through some grief in your life, right? They’re not gonna have the same level of connection to the online business world in the way that I do So we’re taking that speciality and we’re looking at how it is affecting you and your [00:12:00] business and how your business is affecting these specific groups.
[00:12:04] This is extremely important because you can go to therapy for years and work on All of these issues, you can do plant medicine, you can do the PASANA retreats for 10 days, but until you are looking intentionally at how these things play out in relationship to your sales, to your marketing, to receiving payment, to working with team members, to structuring your products, et cetera, you are going to have blind spots.
[00:12:34] It is not a bad thing. You haven’t done anything wrong. You simply haven’t shined light there. So yes, the tools that we will use inside a body based business are similar to some that you may have used in somatic therapy if you’ve done it in the past. But the nuances and the context that we do this work through are not the same.
[00:12:55] In saying that, you do not have to have any experience with any type of therapy in order to work with [00:13:00] me. It’s important to note that your therapist just doesn’t have the context of like, for example, Um, being triggered by like, she wouldn’t understand like the nuances of what an Instagram post, um, can trigger inside of somebody who is selling their product group costs in the same way that I would understand because of my experience, because of my focus, and because that we’re looking at a larger amount of data.
[00:13:28] Now I also mentioned to you that I was going to share exactly what sustainable 5k months feels like and looks like. So I want you to take a couple of deep breaths, take a moment. I’m going to describe to you some of the circumstances that my clients have recently described to me, and you can feel in your body if that feels like something that you would like.
[00:13:51] Day to day decisions and actions are more joyful and full of ease because I can make them quickly. Using the wisdom of my body, knowing
[00:14:00] which ones are aligned and which aren’t like knowing whether to focus on showing up in Facebook groups, or if it makes sense to make another freebie or go to the beach, I feel safe receiving money coming in at various times during the month.
[00:14:15] And I’m able to hold the influx of money in my savings plus my business reserves and also my investments.
[00:14:25] I feel like I can glide through dips in sales or unexpected results, or when my personal life kind of melts into how I work in the day in my business, or with a regulated nervous system, which makes creative and analytical thinking so much easier.
[00:14:44] . I feel so grounded in my vision and I know that it’s possible for me even when sometimes I feel like I’m knocked back or I receive criticism or I start comparing myself. These feel more like little pebble pebbles that I can step over [00:15:00] along my road to self expression and success.
[00:15:06] I’m able to wake up in the mornings before my alarm. Cause I slept really, really well knowing that my clients, my finances, my family, and my vision are taken care of. I can tap into my intuition in a microsecond of focus, giving me my new discernment between fear, grief, shame, or divine guidance.
[00:15:31] I feel healthy, strong, full of energy and inspired by life and business.
[00:15:38] And I’m able to pinpoint the somatic, strategic, and energetic blueprint. And this is my, this is my biggest one. I am able to pinpoint the somatic strategic and energetic blueprint. My specific unique business needs to move the needle forward and learn how to apply them in the moments that it matters the most.
[00:15:59] So
[00:16:00] in buddy based business, we will move you towards your goals and create momentum through mastery. We will have touch points in calls and messaging to make sure that you have someone by your side to work through these challenges with make decisions, help hold the vision and create momentum and consistency to actually get you there.
[00:16:19] And while it is therapeutic at times, it is also coaching and future oriented towards achieving your goals. Yes, we will take the past into account to understand how it informs your daily actions, your lifestyle, your mental, physical, and emotional health and what your business needs to make money. But we’re not going to unpack it for hours and sit in the ick of it.
[00:16:44] We will build your future with an understanding of your past and we will create 5k months this sustainable way so that you can build on that to go to 10 and 20, 000 a month and beyond. However you decide. [00:17:00] So take a second, I’m coming to the last point and I’m going to share with you a way for you to know body based business is going to be worth an investment for you.
[00:17:12] Take a deep breath. And envision the knock on domino effects of this when I’m about to share with you, think about what would happen if you experience what I’m about to share in six months or one year or two years or five years. What will happen in your life if you have this?
[00:17:34] What will happen in your life if in four months you have the tools to create and sustain 5k months in your business and you know how to do this for the rest of your life. You were able to get the most out of every investment past, present, and future because you can digest, discern, discern, and apply consistently.
[00:17:59] What would a [00:18:00] lifetime return on investment of ease? knowing how to make body based decisions and not having anxiety or tension headaches mean for you because yes, you can go to one therapy session and feel good for the next few weeks, which is great. We love that. And also you can sign up to body based business and learn the tool to create 5k months, 5k months.
[00:18:26] That will allow you to have your favorite therapist and a coach and a support system and a Reiki practitioner or your meal services. And then you will only add on to that as your income continues. To increase, to apply for body based business, there are two steps that you need to take. The first thing is you are going to watch the embodied entrepreneur, the masterclass where you will learn to read your own body based business compass.
