Episode notes

https://victoriafenton.net/ - Many people don't even know they have a life's mission. - We see growing as "aging"...but it's always a chance to be growing. - This is related to the two ways of seeing the world: Growth or Fixed mindsets. - The human life is a complete systems and somatics provide a way to understand our inner life. - Somatics describes any practice that uses the mind-body connection to help you survey your internal self and listen to signals your body sends about areas of pain, discomfort, or imbalance. - Trauma teaches us to "control" for safety, but that excessive control harms us. - Victoria's coaching provides a safe place to "be everything messy."

1:43 So we distinguish ourselves at impact with impact coaching, we talk about rather than personal development, we talked about whole person development, the whole person, body, mind, heart and soul. And that fifth power, the done zone, healthy boundaries.

6:59 I did have connections to some members of the royal family and they are a family. That's that's who they are. At the end of the day. And with all of the problems that our family has, with all of the complications and the infighting and all of that just done on a grand scale in the public eye. And it's very, it's a very strange existence to contemplate.

17:24 It's that whole ability to have conversations is a lost art, I think ability to have healthy debate ability to actually enter into conversations with someone with a different opinion or someone who doesn't fit the box.

19:06 I do think that the pace that we live is one of the most damaging things for us right now. We live so fast, and we're trying to get to the next conversational, we're listening, just so the person can stop talking. So we can say what we're trying to say. And therefore there's this kind of like, we're not really listening. We just want to get our voice heard.

23:00 And the irony for me is like, all of my work is based on complex systems evolution. And yet to market that, technically speaking, I should like reduce, reduce that into the reductionist philosophy of how to do an Instagram post or a reel or a meme or anything that's like 10 seconds worth of content. And it doesn't work.
