Goalden Girls Podcast Episode #59 - Human Design, Authentic Leadership, and Leaning Into Resistance with Amber Swenor - Part 2

There are a lot of wild things happening in the world today. 

What I’m about to say might sound bold, but here goes anyway: I really believe that a lot of the issues we see today - from our global and local leadership, to the challenges we face in our humanity, all the way down to the personal struggles you and I have in our lives - comes down to the fact that it is hard, it is uncomfortable, and also completely necessary to be radically authentic in our life.

It’s important in the way we show up in our world, and if you’re just tuning in, go back and listen to Episode 58 to get part of my conversation with heart-centred, metalhead, and business strategist, Amber Swenor.

In the last episode, we talk about authenticity and how the heck Amber weaves her rocker personality into her 7-figure business. You're going to hear about the fears that stop us (and probably you, too) from being authentic, and why radical authenticity needs to be talked about and lived right now, especially in the world that we live in and are creating together 

My friend, you're going to learn about how your biggest challenge can be a path to growth and can lead to the biggest breakthroughs of your life, and how those challenges can actually allow you to get closer to your authentic self. Most of all, I know that you're going to be reminded that you have permission to own who you are. And we want you to be able to notice where you may be holding yourself back so you can decide what you are no longer available for, because there was so much good stuff in my chat with Amber.

In this episode, you’ll hear about Amber's breakdown, what Human Design is, and how you can use it to help you create the right strategy for you and your success. You're also going to hear about how Amber showed up radically authentic in this pandemic, and she shares the journey of when I first met her, working 80-plus hours a week for the startup season of our business, to the sacrifices you make to get to the point where she is now, running three successful businesses with over a million dollars in revenue and working less than 40 hours a week. 

You're also going to hear about stories beyond business. You’ll hear how Amber has been shut down for being human. And I know Amber is not the only one. I know you're going to have examples of this too in your life. So we want you to know you're not alone and share how this struggle led to a bigger win than Amber ever imagined in her life.


So without further ado, enjoy this episode, my friend, and thank you so much for listening.
