    How to Lead From Radical Responsibility with Jennifer Szpigiel

    How to Lead From Radical Responsibility with Jennifer Szpigiel

    One of the things I love so much about this episode is that I believe it will hold up a mirror to some of your ingrained thought patterns - and offer a different alternative.
    Today on the podcast we're talking to Jennifer Szpigiel. She founded Becoming Iconic, a brand that includes an agency, coaching, a podcast (that I love), a magazine - and more! Jen has spent the last 18+ years raising businesses and babies. Her decision to jump into entrepreneurship has created multiple 7 figure businesses, memories made all over the world, and radical responsibility for how she spends her days.

    Our conversation was so rich and it includes:
    The real meaning of time freedomHow leaning into pleasure and joy NOW leads to more abundanceWhat is radical personal responsibility and why it's so critical to leadershipAnd more!

    My hope is that this conversation edges you a little (or a lot) out of your comfort zone.

    How I ALSO grew my business: Manifesting 101

    I'm back with another solo episode and in my head, I'm referring to this topic as 'the episode that almost wasn't'.
    When I share about the courses, books, certifications, systems, marketing, and general ways I've grown my business over the past five years it has always felt like I've left something out - because I have.
    What you haven't seen is the inner work that goes on 100% behind the scenes and that is what I want to share with you today.

    In this episode, I share:
    How I use the 'law of attraction in my life and businessMy favorite books that have helped me along the wayModalities and people that have helped me get unstuck Exercises and practices I love

    Now, if woo isn't your thing this episode won't be for you - we'll see you next week. But if you want to talk about the 'more' that also helps me to do the things I do in life and business then get ready for some fun!

    Links to the things I share about today:
    The Processes audiobook by E/J/A HicksStorm in a Teacup By Helen CzerskiLaw of Attraction by Esther & Jerry HicksThe Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der KolkRapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)The Power of Now by Eckhart TolleThe Surrender Experiment by Michael A. Singer

Julie is a gift!

Julie is one of the most thoughtful, curious, and kind people I’ve known. She genuinely wants you to reach your highest potential and offers helpful, thoughtful, beautifully delivered tools and tips. An uplifting podcast and inspiring person! 💛

Inspiring and Supportive

I can’t say enough about Julie. I first “met” her when I came across an interview that Julie did on another podcast with Micala Quinn and then stumbled upon her again on a YouTube interview with Sarah Noked. I felt as though the universe was speaking to me and was giving me signs to follow this girl! So I did….and then I discovered her podcast which is like a warm blanket, on a cozy couch with a glass of wine, mixed with a cheerleader sitting on that same couch saying “you got this!” Julie’s podcast combines real action steps, information, and inspiration with a wonderful complement of support and permission to feel like this journey may not always be easy, but don’t let that stop you. And if that isn’t enough to make you want to listen, I can tell you that I have reached out to Julie several times and she has responded every time with words of advice and encouragement. So…..if you are like me and just setting out on this freelance journey and you’re nervous as heck, and excited as heck….you will not be disappointed with this podcast. It’s chock-full of ideas and experts that were once sitting where you and I are right now! And I’ll bet you that you, like me, will wish you could meet Julie for a cup of coffee!
