Today’s episode of The Being Human Podcast I’m talking with Susanna Medrano, an amazing friend and client of mine who has been in sales for a very long time. I wanted to speak to her because as someone who has been a top national sales person, she knows how to sell very well, and one thing we’re talking about today is authenticity. When we think of selling, it’s often a sleazy car salesman who just wants your money. It makes us feel icky and we run away screaming, avoiding it as much as possible...

Let’s talk about sex, baby. Sex and selling that is. On today’s episode of the Being Human Podcast, I’m showing you exactly how something that is quite familiar to us - ahem yet something we often don’t talk about in business - is directly related to how well you sell. We make sales a big, complicated, often messy and misunderstood process, but sales can be as good and easy as sex when you know how to get down to it and show up with firey passion. This desirable episode will have you selling eas...

This episode of The Being Human Podcast is about one of the core things we, as entrepreneurs, need to be successful in our lives - to know yourself. Authenticity is a buzzword nowadays - rightfully so - because our audiences are attracted to who we are, not what we sell. If you don’t know who you are, your people will be able to feel it and your business will fail, which is why I highly recommend a means of therapy on your self-discovery journey. Therapy was once taboo, but now the healing journ...

Today’s episode of The Being Human Podcast is all about that pesky guilt we feel when we set expectations and limits for ourselves and the people in our lives. The truth is setting boundaries is one of the major factors that plays into the guilt we may have. We’ve lived for so long without addressing what we need that when we ask for it, not everyone may react well and there’s often guilt that comes up when we define how we want to be treated. However, there’s a difference between earned and une...

This episode has a slight twist though. There’s a fear that many of us can relate to - showing someone who we are or sharing something personal, then having them use it against us, and at the start of today’s episode, Selena shares when she experienced the same with someone close to her. As a publicity and marketing strategist for v...

Our inner child wants to be safe and taken care of. He/she wants mommy or daddy to stand up for us, but as adults we have the responsibility of doing that for ourselves - the problem is, we’ve never been taught how. And that’s what today’s episode of The Being Human Podcast is all about, y’all. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but I promise you, those boundaries and that level of self-awareness is beyond powerful.

On today’s episode of The Being Human Podcast we’re taking one step closer to getting what we want. Sometimes we don’t get what we want because we simply don’t ask for it. It happens way too often (especially for women) for many fear-based reasons, like seeming too pushy. But we can’t not ask for what we want. It’s how we get our needs met - but when we feel like speaking up is being “pushy” we run away or hide at the possibility of being uncomfortable. This is a big issue, y’all, and I can’t st...

Today on The Being Human Podcast I want to talk about journaling - but not the writing kind. No, today, we’re diving into why asking questions out loud is more effective than only writing them down in your journal. Let me start by saying that I love journaling, but as someone who needs to speak to make sense of my mind, this voice technique is simply amazing, which is why I needed to create a whole episode about it. Why is it so effective? Because when you speak out loud, you are quite literally...
