I invited Robert Hill, an adventure elopement photographer and business coach, on the podcast to discuss the impact of mini-retirements and how they can propel us toward true financial and emotional freedom if we allow them to.  Together, we share the challenges that brought us face-to-face with the necessity of stepping away from our work to rediscover our true north.

I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and Robert is such a wealth of knowledge with somatic practices, Human Design and being what he teaches.

Burnout seems to be something that most people encounter.  Robert and I share our experience with it and how we worked through it.  We discussed how we used to feel the need to prove our worth and highlighted the transformative power of somatic practices.   As we peel back the layers of our professional and personal trials, we dive into the philosophies of human design and the power of vulnerability in our coaching practices, offering insights into how these tools can revolutionize your path to growth.

On the podcast Robert shares:

  • His story of exponential business growth and the overwhelm that ensued
  • Why mindset advice alone rarely creates lasting change
  • How dysregulation impacts every aspect of life
  • Why getting into your body is often uncomfortable yet necessary
  • How breathwork and nature connect us with our subconscious
  • Why trauma lives in the body and must be addressed
  • How community and vulnerability are crucial for regulation

    Works we mentioned in this episode:

  • Simon Sinek's Ted Talk
  • The Body Keeps Score: Brain, Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk M.D.
  • When the Body Says No by Gabor Mate
