When coaching someone through Yoke and Abundance, one of Alisha’s starting points is to figure out whether someone’s “yoke” is one that’s chosen and feels right, or if it is one that’s ill-fitting and needs change. Part of Alisha’s coaching aims to find the right “yoke” or tool for that person’s life, career, and goals. The second half of her business name, “abundance,” is about love and knowing that you are more than enough. Alisha encourages others to live and grow from a place of abundance, not fear.   Guest Alisha Wielfaert is the founder and owner of Yoke and Abundance, a leadership, life and creativity coaching business. Yoke and Abundance hosts individual and group coaching sessions, along with workshops and retreats, and has recently launched a new podcast!

Jordan interviews Brie Goumaz of Wild Goose Creatives, and Dani Forrest of Dani, Inc. Both gals have become great friends of ours and fellow SheWolves as we all work out of the same coworking space (when Brie isn't traveling in her van). We get real about the rollercoaster of being a business owner, motivation, and how we manage our own brands. Fellow pack members and co-work space office mates Dani Forrest and Brie Goumaz join us on a rainy Friday with a glass of wine in hand to discuss those days you just don’t feel like working, female entrepreneurism, and being a digital nomad. In this group of somewhat grumpy lady friends, things get real quick- and we are here for it. Guest Brie Goumaz is a digital marketing strategist and founder of WildGoose Creative. Dani Forrest is a market strategist and founder of Dani, Inc. Host Jordan Lacenski is the founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Brandboss Creative, and co-founder of SheWolf Collaborative.

So it might not be that one email and it might not be that one phone call, but it’s each day. How you show up at your work and what you’re bringing to the table. And you never know what that one thing is that is going to bring in new business.” -Dani Forrest “Whether you’re trying to start a business, or you have a business and you’re trying to be bigger, I always say, do one thing every day that gets you to where you want to be… Whatever it is, just one day be the person you would be if you were that. If you were them. You are them.” - Dani Forrest “It’s so sext to start a business right now, and I’m such a dream crusher that I just want to tell everyone that it’s really not that sexy. Like, you think it is, and then you go into the dressing room and put the swimsuit on and you realize that you’ve been sitting at your computer four years.”- Jordan Lacenski --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shewolfshow/support
