Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah Heeter

What does it actually take to feel safe being seen, and is that the same thing as being visible?

In this episode, Isabel Bagsik and I unpack the difference between visibility and being seen, why your capacity to be visible isn't the same as your capacity to be safe, and how ancestral patterns and nervous system responses shape the way we show up online. We get into branding as a source of safety (for you and your audience), grounding practices when visibility feels unsafe, and consent as a missing framework in how entrepreneurs are told to market themselves.

Everyone's talking about a "trust recession" in business right now. AI made everything sound the same. Algorithms made everything look the same. And we're all wondering if anyone is even real anymore. But what if the problem isn't trust at all? What if it's that we've been performing a polished, scripted version of ourselves for so long that real connection has nowhere to land?

Cera Byer is a Scaling Strategist for Soul Centered CEOs. She helps creative, spiritual, and neruosquiggly entrepreneurs scale their businesses without selling out their values or burning out their bodies. Cera believes 2 things strongly: 1: It’s an “all hands on deck” time in the world, and we need all the healers, helpers, and people who want to make the world more beautiful fully expressed in their soul work, And 2: Entrepreneurship is the fastest and most reliable path to wealth creation.

Cera also generously offered her Boundaries for Business Owners masterclass at pay-what-you-want ($1 minimum). It focuses on intellectual boundaries, which is a category most of us haven't thought of as a boundary at all. Link below. http://www.intuitiveedgecoaching.com/simplified

Selling feels hard right now.

Siobhan Strode is back on the podcast today and we get into the political dread, the genocide, the right wing creep happening on both sides of the Atlantic, the panic attacks about empty pipelines, and the deep hypocrisy we both feel trying to tell people "come work with me" while also wondering if any of this even matters.

We also get into:

How capitalism programs us to call time with our families "wasted"

The trauma response loop of doom-scrolling and what it does to our nervous systems

Toxic following (or "hate following") the big names

The "trust recession" and the irony of who's talking about it

Siobhan's program This Sister Speaks opening up, and why a small intimate group of women and non-binary folks learning to use their voices is exactly the work we need right now

Siobhan Strode is a mentor for change-makers—and your resident Feminist Killjoy. Over the past decade, she’s worn many hats: teacher, business owner, Councillor, union and Labour Party Chair, social justice campaigner, and mum to three boys (plus one chaotic collie). But in her twenties, Siobhan played small in workplaces that didn’t value her voice. It wasn’t until she left teaching that she truly found it—and stepped into leadership. What made that transformation possible? Sisterhood. Now, through This Sister Speaks, Siobhan helps others raise their voices and lead the change they’ve been dreaming of. Together, she believes, we don’t just make waves—we shift the whole bloody tide.

Becky Mollenkamp is back, and this time as a published author. Liberate Your Business: A Radical Guide for Entrepreneurs Building Inside a Broken System, is exactly what the title promises. No pretending capitalism isn't a problem, no moralizing about a perfect solution that doesn't exist yet.

We dig into what it actually looks like to scale without extraction, why "hustle vs. rest" is only the beginning of the conversation, and how reframing the question from "how much can I make?" to "how much is enough?" changes everything, for you AND the people inside your business ecosystem.

Grab the book at beckymollenkamp.com/book. And if you can, buy directly from Becky, because publishing keeps a big chunk of every sale otherwise.
