Our guest this week is thought partner and business coach Maggie Gentry. Maggie works with whom she calls “high conscious entrepreneurs” (folks who use their businesses as a platform to create the change they want to see in the world.) by helping them create systems for businesses that feel good in their body, and support that vision for societal change.

A recovering people pleaser, Maggie goes deep in talking about naming & owning our wanting; about how responding to our desires helps us untether from the needs, stories, and expectations of others; what it means to run a service-based business as an introvert; and the ways in which stepping into a bigger game for her business meant getting serious about creating a morning routine that truly nourishes and supports her body & soul.

We touch on Alanis Morrissette as self-care, about the evolution of her journaling practice into a truly intimate dialogue with her true self, and about the Goldilocks approach to self-care and ritual, meaning to keep experimenting until you find something that is “just right.” Maggie is also an avid reader, and this episode is filled with great reading recommendations.

There were so many moments in this conversation where I needed to pause and savor the depth of what Maggie was sharing. I know you’ll love her as much as I do!
