SNEAK PEEK - Inner Dominatrix' Guide to Becoming a Badass in Business

Tue, 29 Jan 2019 16:48:46 GMT

For some, business is a means to an end. And then there are the wild and crazy people like me - the ones who dive into business as if it were an extreme sport. I use business as a way to grow and expand as a human being with each new challenge. Each new level of success I have achieved has required me to dig deeper and show up more authentically.

I love to bring my dedication to my spiritual growth and consciousness into all that I do, from Kink to Business. Blending all of my passions into one book has not been an easy task. I hope that you make use of the tools presented in this book to expand who you are personally, professionally and spiritually so that you can really step into Being a Badass in Business.

A Good Enough Debate

Fri, 28 Dec 2018 21:10:20 GMT

This episode is a lot of things – smart, funny, thought-provoking and the last Dana podcast ever why didn’t anyone tell me agh! - but it is hardly a debate. Guest Jessica Pettitt would say that it’s good enough as a debate as the end result was an amazing conversation between two brilliant ladies who got their points across. Never mind they keep agreeing with each other on every topic. Just sit back and enjoy the wonderful ride that is this last podcast episode. And thanks, Dana, for two wonderful years of episodes! I can’t wait to see your next evolution :)

Content That Converts

Tue, 27 Nov 2018 18:49:24 GMT

This week Dana brings us content strategist Leigh Fowler. This lady’s mission in life is to help people develop strategies so that we can easily and powerfully share the magic we have inside ourselves with the world. She will share with us the “8 C’s of Content That Converts”, and what the “Triple V Factor” can really do to kickstart your message. Leigh wants us all to be able to create “content that converts, that positions you as the expert, that gives people results and helps them understand how they can work with you.” That sounds pretty Badass. Sign me up!

The Other Fifteen Percent

Tue, 20 Nov 2018 21:38:51 GMT

Inclusivity is being embraced today as never before. But in business, is it always smart to assume that 100% of the people you interact with are trying their best and acting in your best interest? Your Inner Dominatrix says no. Dana explains the pitfalls to a totally inclusive mindset and shows us how we can position ourselves to deal with that other fifteen percent. Apparently, Inclusively Badass is the way to go.

The Hamster Wheel of More

Tue, 13 Nov 2018 20:02:13 GMT

Lynn Pelzer has defined her life by being driven. Like, has launched 45 new FemCity Collectives since January kind of driven. Actually, if you search up her profile on Facebook, you will see her life motto: “Dreams do come true, you just have to work for them”. Except this busy, dynamic lady has reached a point in her life where business is good, home is good, life is good. So why does that make her feel so bad? Why is it just so darn hard to step off that hamster wheel of more? Isn’t the point of growing a business to create a lifestyle that you love, that works for you? It’s like we need someone to hold up a big sign in front of us that says “Relax. You have arrived. Please enjoy.” Well that someone is Dana. So relax. You have arrived. Please listen and enjoy.

The Man Behind the Podcast

Mon, 29 Oct 2018 21:53:30 GMT

Do you have Kleenex handy? You are going to laugh until you cry today! Step outside of the podcast box and avoid the formals on your way to the top. Larry Roberts’ approach to podcast success means doing the basics but it doesn’t mean that you can’t #hateonApple in the process. Larry sees people wrapped up in the numbers in podcasting, just like they are in business, and that creates an innate unfairness to yourself, your process and your goals. Today, Larry not only tears down the box you tend to put yourself but he opens himself up to share his best moments in podcasting and his life (he has dogs). Click play to hear Dana, Larry and his dogs demonstrating how to be awesome in front of an audience – no matter how smooth things go.

Let's Talk About It

Tue, 23 Oct 2018 04:59:05 GMT

Today, let’s honour Jane Tabachnick as she shares her current struggle in business with us. Jane helps “savvy entrepreneurs and enlightened professionals package their message into a book that helps them achieve their goals”. Sounds pretty cool, right? So how come Jane is struggling with promoting and supporting herself in the same way? Because like many of us, Jane was raised not to talk about money. #icanrel8. So let’s talk about it. Jane can now, after her session with Dana. What do you need to talk about? Our Inner Dominatrix can help you clear the judgements around those issues that come up around any difficult topic. Freeing you up to stretch and grow the Inner Dominatrix way.

A Breath Of Fresh Air

Fri, 05 Oct 2018 18:32:08 GMT

Leigh Burton, a brilliant, powerful successful woman in business, is struggling with something. Even though Leigh has become a masterful coach, driven to help people live ego free; she, just like the rest of us, still has some stuff to work through. Graciously, Leigh has allowed us to listen in on her amazing session with Dana. First Dana pokes at Leigh’s financial sting of having spent money for her own coaching and not gotten the result she felt she paid for, then at the pain of loss of trust with these coaches. Finally, Dana slips in the piece of Leigh allowing herself to charge “good” money for her own membership program – something she has been resistant to as she likens it to “sitting down to have tea and conversation with friends”. Wow. See what Dana did there? Leigh describes the internal shift she experiences from this session as “peaceful...like fresh energy or fresh air”. Do you need a breath of fresh air? Breathe along with Leigh and Dana and see how this work feels for yourself. And if you’re ready, reach out to our favourite Dominatrix and see where your energy takes you.

Supercharged

Tue, 11 Sep 2018 11:30:09 GMT

Ooh!! We get to be a fly on the wall with this one! Super successful Rina Rovinelli shows us that no matter how big you get in your business, there is always room for improvement. She graciously and bravely allows us to listen in on her personal coaching session with Dana. You can’t get any more authentic than this! Dana takes Rina through a series of clearing exercises; tackling the charges around asking people for money, being a pushy salesperson, being successful and being good enough. I highly recommend you breathe and play along with the home game. You will see how clearing out the charge around both sides of an issue that is blocking you can actually open the way for you to step in and choose what actually works for you. And if this kind of work seems like a fit for where you are right now, book a session with Dana. That way instead of being supercharged with blocks, you can be supercharged with choice, just like Rina. Thanks Rina and Dana for sharing this powerful session with us!

Kick Them Off The Ride

Tue, 04 Sep 2018 11:30:00 GMT

Fall Fair season kicks off with Dana putting you at the controls of the biggest ride ever to hit the county fair: ‘Your Business’. But some of the people in line haven’t grown enough to get on the ride, many of them have WAY too much baggage or are straight up terrified by ‘Your Business’. Well, you can’t drag the ones who aren’t ready kicking and screaming onto the ride. You can’t hold someone else’s baggage for them while they enjoy unlimited rides on ‘Your Business’, and, tantrum or not, you certainly can’t let those who have not grown enough for the ride to climb aboard. I can see you now, standing at the controls of ‘Your Business’, clear in your power and resilient to the conflict, triggers, stress and strife the stuck masses will generate. Because YOU are the badass boss of ‘Your Business’, all thanks to a little help from your Inner Dominatrix.

Let Me Tell You A Story

Wed, 29 Aug 2018 04:13:25 GMT

Today Dana lets us in on a big secret: Big Brands are spending billions redirecting their ad campaigns into storytelling marketing. Why? Because our brains are actually hard-wired with the need to tell and hear stories. Which is good, because storytelling marketing cuts through the noisy, sophisticated, jaded markets we deal with today. So, let me tell you a story: Once upon a time there was a marketing genius named Kylie Slavik. But, wait, she didn’t start out as a marketing genius, of course. She started, like many people, as an “alienated artist”: doing three minute improvisational slam poetry gigs, feeling like she was “preaching to the choir” and wondering where the money was going to come from. Her “AHA!” moment came at the hands of a stern nudge from a Cherokee Medicine woman, who enabled her to embrace her talent for story and transition it into a brilliant career in marketing. Kylie’s story shows us how getting really connected with what we are passionate about can transform our lives in ways we’d never expect. YOUR story will change your business. So, what is it? Dana would love to hear!

Turning A Profit

Tue, 21 Aug 2018 00:46:46 GMT

This one has homework. And on summer vacation and everything! But this simple task can lead to a massive mindshift in your work and your profits. Dana uses Mike Michalowicz’s book “Profit First” to expound on something she’s been saying for years: fall in love with saving money, do it on a consistent basis, and start reaping the rewards of standing in your power as a profitable business owner. How you ask? Tune in to find out! Have you ever been excited to find out what your homework is before? That’s pretty badass.

Power Hungry

Tue, 07 Aug 2018 01:37:34 GMT

If you are drawn to Dana and all her Inner Dominatrix Awesomeness, does it mean that you hunger for power in your own life? As you steer the ship of your business do you take the helm as a control freak or can you do the number one thing people miss seeing when they look at the dungeon lifestyle: Powerfully Submit. That’s right. Forasmuch as it appears on the surface that the Dominatrix is in control, the true power lies with the Submissive. So if you are hungry for the kind of power that surrendering and opening yourself up can give you, step right this way to Dana’s Dungeon.

Communication & the Internet

Tue, 31 Jul 2018 04:36:54 GMT

Bringing the awesome, the realness, and the authenticity this week is Davide Di Giorgio! Davide is 30‑days into a squat challenge and used a time lapse video to show the changes on his social media channels. This led to a random, but appreciated, offer by a friend for a free consultation to assess the physical mechanics of the squats. Davide’s point is that you need to make a connection with people before you reach out with an offer. Dana admitted to being guilty of that same behaviour in the past. Davide and Dana agreed that there’s a certain amount of ego involved in these kinds of communications and that the anonymity of the internet doesn’t help at all. The best example? Davide was approached to be in a magazine and featured in an article – the catch? He had to write the article about himself by himself.

The Big "D"

Tue, 17 Jul 2018 10:57:56 GMT

Here's some fun facts: did you know a new divorce is filed every 13 seconds worldwide? And that divorce is considered the second most traumatic life event, beating out incarceration and eclipsed only by death? Since so many of us have to wade through these troubled waters, Dana brings us no less than one of the top divorce lawyers in the U.S. Rebecca Zung reached the apex of her career and realized that the gross majority of people could neither access nor afford her knowledge and expertise. Breaking Free From Divorce Inc. was born so that for less than the cost of one hour of a top attorney's time you can become completely educated on navigating the logistics and emotions of this difficult process. Because when you feel you have choices, you can step into your power. That's divorce the Inner Dominatrix way.

Just Say NO

Today Dana takes us on a journey with that oh so powerful word NO. Saying no can feel awkward and uncomfortable, and there are actually several reasons behind why many of us struggle to find ways to opt out of things. Dana rips the band-aid off this issue with no explanations, justifications or apologies. Open-hearted and clear. Just like saying no should be.

Your Business BFF

Mon, 25 Jun 2018 23:52:35 GMT

We have been conditioned for generations to believe that work, or your business has to feel "hard" and that "passions" are for playtime. Dana's guest Carrie Roldan wants you to ask yourself "What would you do for FREE?" That amazing thing that you are passionate about, that fills you up and makes you feel alive. Now what if you had a business BFF that could have your back and hold your hand or shove you off the cliff (or whatever you need) to propel you into the space where you can make money from the thing that fulfills your life? Dana's always got your back, and as Carrie says "You've got this, I've got you".

Simply Is Best, Even In Business

Tue, 19 Jun 2018 03:32:54 GMT

We all want to have a million dollar business. It's the universal 'pie in the sky' entrepreneurs strive for. Dana's guest Milana Leshinsky found out after the fact that she had hit seven figures. She thought that she would feel a deep sense of pride when hitting the million dollar mark. In reality, she was so busy and tired and overwhelmed that she had no real connection to the achievement and just wanted to go sit on a beach instead. So, she sold her business, took an uncomfortable sabbatical, found what she was drawn to and created "Simplicity Circle". Sounds peaceful and Dana-like already. Dana and Milana also talk about "getting paid for just waking up and being you". Now this is the kind of simplicity we can get behind.

Have you been led down the garden path by The Next Big Thing!! when looking to build your business? Maybe you got burned by some really good copy, or the pitch managed to hit you where you most felt it.

Lessons From The Dungeon

Tue, 08 May 2018 02:34:16 GMT

It’s time to strip down and get comfortable with your particular wants in the Dungeon. Why? Because it can actually improve your business. Especially for female entrepreneurs – most women in the business and corporate world do not lean into and embrace their inner power. They try to copycat the Masculine energy and end up tired. Working in the Dungeon with a submissive means not giving them what they want. It’s counter-intuitive; you should give them what they want because that’s what they want. However, you’re actually denying them a greater gift; one that comes from working harder and pushing at their limits to get them to Sub Space. The praise at that moment, the lessons, goes deeper at a level beyond hypnosis or energy work. You can be your own Dom/me and discipline yourself in the business – giving you that extra sweet, fulfilling reward that lasts. Your reward, when leaned into the long-term, delayed gratification process, will be sweeter, larger and more enduring.

We Are Stronger Together

Sat, 31 Mar 2018 21:43:01 GMT

Mystical Mindset Coach and Soul Designer Leah Steele is sick and tired of seeing women caught in a "crab bucket" mentality – pulling each other back into the bucket instead of lifting each other up. There are so few examples of women in business who have empowered, mentored, or even been kind to other women. Instead we have come to accept a culture of mistrust for other women, letting our fears and insecurities jealously guard what we see to be "our piece of the pie". That pie is a funny thing. It's not that someone has more or less pie than you, or that there is only so much pie to go around. If you take the effort to change the dynamic you will see that there is more pie than you thought. You actually have so much you can give some away. Anyone want to go out for some crab and pie after the podcast?

Clearly, this episode requires an "EXTRA EXPLICIT" rating. Words on their own are benign; it is the judgements and meanings that we attach to them that give them their power and impact. So what happens when we use a taboo word to shake things up, call attention to something or just as a release? What happens when we let go of the judgements we have created behind these taboo words and use them purposefully to create change? You may be $%#@&!* surprised at the result.

Healing After #MeToo

Thu, 01 Feb 2018 00:25:13 GMT

The #MeToo campaign has started a tsunami; and Dana is waiting to see if it is going to be a tsunami of change or one of blame. Tatiana shares her background working with indigenous peoples, and one Mayan grandmother in particular, and their beliefs – including the Mayan belief around the end of the world and the shift that took place with that on December 31, 2012. She shared that this grandmother’s belief is that it is time for women to lead the world back into a circle.

Tatiana opined that one of the overwhelming fears right now is that if women take back the reigns of power from men, that women will use the power like man have been doing. #MeToo, as Tatiana says, is less about power and more about women finding their voices – and, when your voice has gone unused for a long time, it does not always sound pretty. Tatiana wants to see society use this as a catalyst and have us make adjustments and changes for the better of everyone. Both Dana and Tatiana agree that there needs to be more education, training and mentorship.

Fri, 26 Jan 2018 18:42:06 GMT

Dana is back with a follow-up to Facebook live videos, her own and one by Ryan Thomas, where they discussed the backlash from the #MeToo campaign and how it is affecting men in general and how women are showing up.

Dana is wondering if women have taken this new power too far. She posits that there are those who have taken this opportunity to exploit the willingness to believe and the power that brings, which leads to men being afraid to take action anywhere in their lives. Ryan opened himself to vulnerability and tackles being angry because he is afraid in his original Facebook live video; and made Dana cry cathartically.

Ryan is angry at society for creating the reasons for us needing a #MeToo campaign in the first place and then he is angry that he has noticed a shift in the general conversation that men are bad (and how extremist groups are qualifying all sex, even consensual, as rape). Ryan believes that the scrutiny that men have come under is fine and will help men (and society) grow but he’s concerned about the attacks that have started to happen. This is where the “too far” comes into play.

Dana feels that there needs to be scrutiny on both sides of this issue and big, large conversations about difficult topics, such as being clear about dates vs. hook ups, expectations, etc. Too often the pattern of femininity is to be soft and flexible to the point of wishy-washiness; conversely masculinity to a pattern of hard and edgy to where it becomes second nature to over-write someone else’s response in favour of their own.

The Science of Why Your Energy Affects Others

Wed, 10 Jan 2018 02:22:01 GMT

Today, Dana is exploring some of the science behind energy. Dana is fascinated by how we are interconnected and able to affect others just by our very act of being. World events got you down? Worried about wars? Put it aside; stop carrying that negativity and hurt around with you everywhere – it spreads.

Dana knows – the convenient explanation is that if we don’t get angry and loud, nothing will change. But what if we changed us and not tried to change events from the past or future events we don’t know about instead? Then that change would ripple out and affect the world that way by changing your own energy’s vibration.

Women Speaking Up with Dr Claudia C

Tue, 05 Dec 2017 07:00:00 GMT

Dr. Claudia C is a public speaking coach for women. Her true passion is getting women to speak, find, nurture, own and share their true voice with the world.

Claudia describes a type of fear that holds women back from showing up completely when they take the stage. She explains that it's deeper than stage fright, it's an ancient fear that can been seen throughout history and manifests itself in a physical reaction.

She shares her insights on why a lot of women lean backwards when they are speaking from the stage, and gives a few small tips to help with that. In contrast, she describes what a confident woman looks like on stage, and what might be going through her mind as she delivers her message.

Claudia refers to agency, which is another way of saying power, and how a woman can gain more of it, and respect herself more, regardless of what's happening within her surroundings or situation. She and Dana also talk about the women in history, and how they've had a much shorter time span operating within positions of power.

She crosses her fingers to the birth of a new era as women begin to come to the forefront about their experiences. She also talks about channeling source, and shares a few playful tips that can make a huge difference in stage confidence, and body connectivity.

Claudia ends the show with her thoughts on the societal dialogue toward women, and what needs to change, and leaves off with a few poses and stage tips to help with appearing and feeling more confident on stage.

Quotes

“I think women are afraid, and it's not just the usual stage fright”

“Even if people don't like what she says, that's okay because some people will”

“When a woman stands in her power, a man doesn't interact with her the same way”

“It doesn't matter if the men interrupt you, you respect yourself”

“I don't want us to go into victim mode”

Marrying the Masculine and the Feminine with Julie Ward

Tue, 28 Nov 2017 07:00:00 GMT

Julie Ward is an intimacy and relationship coach. Her main focus is on the masculine and feminine energies and how to marry the two, and potentially re-scripting them to be more benevolent and kind in order to have more fulfilling relationships and a more fulfilling life in itself.

She takes some time to describe pure consciousness, and how it relates to masculine energy. She explains that masculine is the thinker, the action taker, the doer. She also breaks down how feminine energy works, and the role it plays within a person as a creative, formless energy that is so powerful. Julie also talks about the energy spectrum, and the unfavorable things that occur at either end of it.

Julie shares a few short exercises she uses with clients in order to identify values and beliefs within yourself that you stand for. She also talks about how knowing what you dislike about the masculine or feminine can actually be used to identify what you wish to have more of within your life.

She also explains light and dark energy, and how both need to be experiences, embraced and allowed to exist without judgment in order to complete the individual. Every person on earth is comprised of both light and dark energies, and they both play a large and necessary role.

Quotes

“We live in a world of duality. Masculine and Feminine”

“Her role is to experience everything life has to give”

“She is formless and she will take the shape of whatever is coming her way”

“The first step is really to self identify”

“Energy needs to move”

Sometimes You Have To Make People Feel Pain

Fri, 24 Nov 2017 07:00:00 GMT

In this episode of the Inner Dominatrix Podcast, Dana answers a question from her Facebook Group: Access Your Inner Dominatrix.

The person wrote “I recently started a program and enrolled 5 people. This isn't the most expensive service I offer, but they've all paid and said they are committed. Now 3 of the people are showing up, making the effort, meeting the accountability portion and 2 are not. Those 2 have me anxious and stressed out because I want them to have results, but it seems like I want it for them more than they do. Any tips?”

Dana shares some of the advice given within the group, and then personalizes it for the specific listener who wrote in. Dana has the benefit of knowing the listener's past struggles with clients, and is more than willing to expand upon it and give her own insights and ideas to help move the listener beyond what they are experiencing.

“Often times when we put our rates up, people are more accountable and more committed”

“What are you putting on you, that is actually about your clients?”

“The problem is that you didn't implement”

“When we hold people accountable, it is not comfortable”

“Most of us are pain avoiders”

To Go Big, Or Not To Go Big, That Is The Question

Fri, 10 Nov 2017 17:00:00 GMT

Dana tackles the topic of making an impact, not for the money, but for the number of lives you can touch. She explains that playing big means different things for different people, and that it comes down to the individual person to decide what level they should be playing on.

She explained that while that may be true for some people, it didn't feel right for her specific situation.
