Brenda 00:01:24 Let's explore the possibilities together and make your dreams a reality. Ready? Let's do this. Let's get you to your yes filled life. Hello and welcome to your yes filled life. I'm your host, Brenda Winkle. Today on the podcast, we're going to be talking about some of the challenges that entrepreneurial empaths or empathic entrepreneurs. However you would like to say it, our facing. And we'll also be talking about some of the reasons people decide either to become an entrepreneur or not to become an entrepreneur based on their empathy and some workarounds for that. And I'm also going to introduce the power framework. The power framework is something I developed especially for empathic entrepreneurs, and power is an acronym that stands for presence, optimize, wisdom, evaluate, and Renew. So let's dive in. If you have high levels of empathy and compassion, it's likely that you either delayed starting your business or still haven't started your business because of a few things. One of them, being conflict, feels really challenging because when you're an empath, if you engage in anything that ultimately leads to conflict, it can really be triggering to your nervous system.
Brenda 00:02:48 Most people with high levels of empathy very much dislike conflict because you can feel the other person's emotion inside your system, so you have your own emotional experience about the conflict, and then you're also managing someone else's experience. So many people with high levels of empathy just avoid conflict altogether, which creates some real challenges, because if you have kinks in the energy, in your relationships, because you're not talking about all the things, it can create misunderstandings, resentment, and all kinds of things. And if energy is everything and it is, and we're not clearing anything that needs to be cleared, whether it's between you and a client, you and a team member, you and a family member, it is like walking on a lumpy rug. Eventually someone's going to get tripped. And so this idea of avoiding conflict is very prevalent among people with high levels of empathy and compassion. Some people struggle to create a business or a business model because they're actually afraid of hurting someone, someone's feelings by selecting a customer. They don't want other people to feel left out.
Brenda 00:04:03 They're worried that when you only speak to one person or one kind of person, you'll insult people. One of the other challenges that comes up for many, many people with high levels of empathy and compassion is they feel challenged by attention. It's difficult to fully devote themselves to one thing because you have to answer the phone calls, the texts, pick up the kids, talk to people who need things, visit with the neighbor, and setting any boundaries around that feels very, very challenging because you don't want to hurt somebody's feelings, right? And we're not talking about codependent behaviors here, although it I recognize there is some overlap, honestly. And there's overlap because codependency is defined as putting the needs of another person above yours. And empaths often do this. But here's the difference. In both cases, you can learn to overcome this tendency whether you're coming at it from the codependent lens, which you'd be working on with a therapist in therapy, or you're working on it as an empath and changing your energetic configuration, in both cases, you can begin to still have people matter, but not more than you.
Brenda 00:05:19 Now, I know that might sound triggering, but just stay with me here. One of the other issues that is is very, very common for the empathic entrepreneurs or the entrepreneurial empaths that I work with, is that the distractions of the day to day life are preventing them from keeping their focus. And I just created a real and Instagram about is it energy or is it attention? And in most cases it's actually energy and there's ways that you can claim back your focus and attention by shifting the energy. We'll talk about that as we go. so this idea of setting boundaries around time and distractions is really prevalent among many, many of the of the women I work with, with high levels of empathy and compassion. And another fear that comes up for these, these entrepreneurs is that they don't have enough structure or masculine to be successful. And for many of them, the actual business part feels scary. These are women who are in business running companies. The operations part feels very, very intimidating. A question that's often asked is, am I really made for this? Can I do this? Where should I hire help? And if I hire help, what should I hire help with first? Another fear that comes up is I'm scared I'm not going to be able to accomplish it or worry about what people think.
Brenda 00:06:45 and that really goes back to creating a sense of boundary around your time and energy and attention. And we'll talk about how you can do that in a way that will feel safe for your nervous system. So, you know, there are so many gifts and challenges that come with being someone with high levels of empathy and compassion. But there are some big challenges. And so we talked about this last time on the podcast last week, that there's a gift and there's a distortion. So the gift is you have this ability to tap into what other people are feeling. The distortion is, and you have this gift to tap into what other people are feeling, and it can influence your ability to make decisions that are the best for you. So the reason that this power framework came about is I became an entrepreneur in 2005 when I opened up a Mary Kay beauty consulting business. I owned that for several years, closed it in around 2012 and open up a photography business. I had a photography studio in my own home.
Brenda 00:07:51 I ran that from 2012 to 2015 when I pivoted again and I opened up a Reiki business after I became a Reiki Master in 2015, and I ran that for about three years before I stopped offering in-person appointments and started only offering things remotely when I became a theta healing practitioner. And so I've been in the online space since, about 2018, offering most of my the lion's share of my offerings online and remotely. And so when I talk about the empaths journey into entrepreneurship, I'm really coming from the lens of what did I do? What did I need, what challenges did I face, and how did I solve those challenges? And so then overlay that with the women that I've worked with since 2015, many of whom I would say that probably 90% are also entrepreneurs. And that's where the power came. Power framework came from. I was sitting down one day, and I was just outlining the things that I have done or stopped doing in order to really keep more of my energy, to take on less energy and emotionality from other people, to make more sovereign decisions, to tap into my own intuition, to have more ease and freedom, to stop caring what other people think.
Brenda 00:09:20 To stop being prone to suggestions without having any discernment over whether or not that suggestion is actually the best for me. And as I was listing things out, I realized I have a framework here and I wasn't quite sure what it was going to be, but I was talking with one of my business mentors who is on Julie Solomon's team. Her name is Aaron Lindstrom, and she echoed what I thought. She's like, I think you have a framework here. I think you should sit down and play around with it. And so I listed out all the things that I've done, not done, and shifted in order to be successful as an entrepreneur and things that I've worked with my clients to do. And before I knew it, the power framework was born. So the power framework is five pillars. Each letter of the word power stands for one of the pillars. So it stands for presence, optimize, wisdom, evaluate and renew. Now here's the thing. I have started four businesses since 2005. I have pivoted three times.
Brenda 00:10:38 I continue to pivot in this iteration. And what I've found that is that if I apply the tenets in this framework, things just feel so much better. My income increases. The impact that I make for my clients is so much richer and I just feel better. So I'm going to encourage you to try these things. In fact, I always sit down before I create any podcast for you and I ask myself two questions. One is how do I want you to feel? And the second thing is, what do I want you to do? So in the how do I want you to feel this week? I want you to feel so curious about this power framework that you're willing to try something new, that you're willing to just experiment and say, hey, could this work for me? And the reason I want that for you is I know that you have something really special to contribute, and I want to make that easier for you. I want to create more ease and peace and abundance and joy in your life, so that you can more easily create the income and impact that you need to to create the change for this world that's on your heart.
Brenda 00:11:53 Okay, so let's dive into the power framework. So the P is for presence. Now inside this pillar the P for presence pillar there are more than one component. There's actually three components to presence. One is your auric or energetic field. The second one is your ability to be present. And the third is your ability to keep other people in the present. Okay. So we're going to start with number three. First of all, we can't control other people. We can't control their experiences. We can't control how they feel about things. We can't control what they're going to say or what they're going to do. So before we even dive into this piece of the pillar, I just want to lead with that. And also, you are a powerful, powerful, energetic being, and you are going to be leading by example, which means that the more present you are both in this, in the terms of being in the present moment and being present with those people who you're with, the more they will also increase their capacity to be present.
Brenda 00:13:15 So this is a leading by example part of the pillar. If you find that people in your life are not fully present with you, I would invite you to ask yourself a really difficult question, which is are you being fully present with them. And when you're fully present, it means you're not doing more than one thing. You might be cooking dinner and having a conversation. I think that there's a way that you can be present in that. You might be doing a task in the house and having a conversation, like maybe it's gardening or yard work, and then you can chat while you're doing that. Or maybe you're having a conversation while you drive or while you, do some organizing. Those kind of things are not what I'm talking about. When I say be present, you can be present and do something. What I'm talking about is when you're doing something that's really pulling your focus away from that person, and most of the time I'm referencing something that you're doing on a screen, whether that's watching a show, being on your phone, being on the computer, you know, it is possible for you to be present and to be doing something in the kitchen like we've already already talked about.
Brenda 00:14:35 But if you're on your phone and you're trying to read something, whether it's an email or a social media post, or you're trying to post something and you're also trying to have a conversation next to you, you're doing both of those things badly. Like, that's just the truth. You're doing them both badly. So if you need to be on your phone because part of your business is on your phone, I'm going to encourage you to set some boundaries around protecting that time. So for you, if your business is on your phone, you're not just playing around on the phone, right? So you'll need to treat that time with more respect and protect it. So if you know that you need to create the social media post today and you're going to have to create some content, and then you're going to have to post estimate how much time that's going to take you and then add 30% more. So for example, if I think it's going to take me a half an hour to create a video and to design a caption, which I'm just choosing this for random random, easy math.
Brenda 00:15:38 Okay, it might or might not take me a half an hour, but let's just say for easy math, if I'm going to do a half an hour worth of work on my phone, I'm going to add 30% to that time. So if I think it's going to be a half an hour, I'm actually going to add 40 minutes to my calendar and I'm going to protect that time. So if I'm with other people during that time, I'm going to say I'm going to be working for 40 minutes and I'll even say something like, it's going to look like I'm on my phone. It's going to look like I'm just scrolling on social media. But what I'm actually doing is creating content. So during that 40 minutes, I'm going to be paying attention to what's happening on the phone, and I'm not going to be responding to you, and I don't want you to feel bad. So I want you to understand what I'm doing, okay? If you're not protecting that time that you actually need to be on your phone to be present for your business.
Brenda 00:16:28 Your business is suffering. Ask me how I know, I have gone from living alone for the past two years to this summer. I have been living with other people, sharing space with other people, and it's such a blessing. I absolutely love it. And also, I've had to learn how to say, hey, it looks like I'm messing around on my phone right now, but I'm actually working and it's amazing how much more work I can get done. And then when I'm done, I put my phone away and I'm going to encourage you to do the same thing. So when we're talking about the the part of this pillar, the presence pillar, where you're going to be fully present with other people in your life, helping them be fully present with you, you have to model what you want them to do, and it might mean that you model that behavior multiple times before they begin to trust that that's actually a change that you're making, because so many of us are so distracted by our phones that, you know, if you were to say to somebody, put away your phone, they're probably going to have a response to that, like, why? Your phone's not a way, ever, right? So you're going to have to lead by example on that.
Brenda 00:17:39 Now let's dive into the other two tenets of this presence framework inside the power framework. So the two other tenants of this power framework with the P for presence are your field or your electromagnetic field and your ability to be present in the moment. Let's talk first about the field okay. So each of us has an energy field around us. It can be measured by scientific cameras. It's sometimes called the electromagnetic field. Some people like to call it aura. I kind of like aura, honestly. But you know, science likes electromagnetic fields, so you get to choose which one you want to call it. In either case, We have this field of energy around us, and all living things have this field of energy around them. Whether you're talking about a leaf on a tree, a flower, a dog, a human, a deer, everything has this electromagnetic field around it. You can actually change the size of your field. In fact, it's really important for you to develop this as a skill. At my in-person retreats, we do workshops on this whole like half day workshops on just this piece of playing with the electromagnetic field size.
Brenda 00:19:05 Let's talk a little bit about why you'd want to. So there's two reasons why you'd want to have your electromagnetic field or your are a really big. And then there's another reason that's even perhaps more important of why you'd want it to be small. Okay. So let's talk about why you'd want your field to be big. There's two reasons. One is if you want to access more energy around you, then you expand the size of your field. So let's say you're a speaker and you're going into the speaking space. If you come into that room with a really expansive field, then you can kind of feel and sense the energy of your audience. You'll be able to connect with them on a really deep level if you have that big field, and that can be very, very supportive for you, and then you're going to adjust it as you actually begin to speak. And I'll talk more about that in a second. So another reason why you'd want to have a really big field is if you again, want access to the energy around you.
Brenda 00:20:06 So let's say, for example, you're someplace that is very energetically rich for you. And it might be that it's someplace very special for you. It might be someplace in nature. it could be literally anything, as long as it's really rich for you. So for me, one of the places where I feel most energetically rich is at the beach. So I open my field wide up, and it just allows me to absorb all the beautiful energy around me. I find it very grounding, very healing, very expansive. I find myself with new ideas, with new healing, and it just feels so good in my system. And so if you are out in a space in nature and you want to absorb the ocean or the mountains or the desert or the river or the lake or whatever it is, expand your field to allow yourself to absorb more of that energy richness, to be able to take it back with you. It's really magical. And you can do this even in your own backyard. just like if you're out on the patio and you just notice it feels so good with the warm breeze in your hair or on your skin, and you're just like, oh yes, More of this, please.
Brenda 00:21:20 Then open up that field and allow more in. Okay. Now, the other reason that it's really supportive, if you're able to expand your field is if you're dealing with a challenge. Okay. So if you think about a nylon like a nylon pantyhose, if I were to put a mark with a Sharpie on a place on that nylon, it would look very dark and opaque. But if I were to put my hand into that nylon and I would expand it, I would notice that the dark mark was more diffuse. There was less opaqueness. The same thing is true for us when we're dealing with a problem. Sometimes if we're dealing with the problem and we have a very small energetic field, the problem can feel very opaque, very overwhelming, like we just can't seem to deal with it. We can't see through it. We can't see to the other side. It feels like it's just going to take us over. When you expand your field, all of a sudden there's like, oh, a little bit more ease in that.
Brenda 00:22:21 And then the next thing you know, it doesn't seem like such a big deal because as you expand your field and you're able to move some energy around and through the issue, next thing you know, the issue isn't as big, and it's probably much closer to a solution than you even realized. And it may not even need a solution. It may just need some space to breathe. Okay, now let's talk about why you'd want your field to be really close and tight around you. Let's take the same example from your going into a room and you are the speaker. And so you walk into the room, you have your field wide open to read the energy of the audience. And then when you get ready to speak, you're going to close your field nice and tight around you. That's so that you have a very concentrated, potent energy. So you're not sharing or leaking any of your energy. You just have your field nice and tight around you. Another time that you would want to have a nice and tight field around you is if you're in a crowded space.
Brenda 00:23:19 So yesterday, I'm back in the Portland area this week. I'm recording this from Lake Oswego, which is where I lived for the last year. And, what I noticed is I went to the mall. I went to the Washington Square Mall. There's a store there called losartan, which has my favorite lotions. And, this almond shower oil, it's just, oh, my gosh, it's so luxurious. And it smells so good. And it just is awesome. And I wanted to stock up on some of the products before I go back out on the road. And so I don't typically go to the mall on weekend. But yesterday that's what I did. So I went to the mall and it was so crowded that it was like almost walking on a subway. It was so busy I couldn't believe it. So that was an example of when I would want my field to be nice and tight around me. Why? If you walk into a crowded area with your field wide open and really big, you're absorbing every energy and emotion that walks through you.
Brenda 00:24:23 You are like the universal dust mop at that point, and you will be so exhausted and so drained by the time that you're done, you won't be able to function. In fact, it used to make me sick. I would get physically ill every time I went to the mall because of the energy around me, and it wasn't until I learned to keep my field nice and tight around me that I became able to tolerate those crowded environments, which, if you have high levels of empathy, that probably doesn't feel great for you, right? But when you learn to keep your energetic field nice and tight around you, it's going to be a game changer for you. Now let's be clear I still don't prefer those kinds of of environments. My preference would be that there'd be a lot more spaciousness, but I can tolerate it, which means that I can do things I didn't used to be able to do. That's part of why I'm able to tolerate air travel, because I can keep my field nice and tight around me.
Brenda 00:25:21 I can do that when I'm sitting in the airplane, so that I'm not feeling like I'm absorbing all the energy from everybody around me. And you can do that too. So I invite you to come to any of my breathwork sessions or any of my masterclasses, because this is one of the things we talk about every single time, is how to adjust the size of your field. And you can also play around with it on your own, just with your own intention. You can play around with it right now. Like for example, let's just have you take a deep breath in through the nose and expand your field. Okay, here we go. We'll take a deep breath in. And then on the exhale, expand your field. There you go. Maybe even extending your arms to allow yourself to take up more physical space. And expanding into that, let's take one more deep breath. Expand the field again. There you go. Now, with the same intensity, the same energy, the same intentionality of keeping your sovereignty and your energy big and potent and powerful.
Brenda 00:26:30 We're going to bring your field in nice and tight, deep breath in and bring the field in really tight around you so it almost touches your skin. There you go. Now, if you're listening to this and you're going, Brenda, I don't even know what you're talking about. All I. All I hear you doing is breathing great. I'm. I'm so glad that that's where you are. I promise you that if you allow yourself to play with this and practice it, it will begin to come. It will begin to happen for you. But, you know, remember me saying that I've been doing this work for many, many years. Like I started this version of what I was doing in 2015. So I have lots and lots of practice in adjusting the size of my field. And if this is the very first time you're adjusting your field, you are going to need some practice. So give yourself time and grace and just keep practicing. Now let's talk about the third tenant inside the presence pillar of the power framework.
Brenda 00:27:32 The third pillar is presence in the in the sense of how can you be more present in the moment. We each have our own unique orientation to time. Some of us are oriented to the past, and we think about what has happened, and some of us are oriented to the future, and we think about what will happen, and some of us are oriented to the present, to what's happening right now. But not many of us. Most of us are oriented either in the past or the future. But your true strength and power lies in the present moment. So the more present you can be in this moment, the more sovereignty and agency you're going to have. You'll find that you actually absorb less energy and emotion from people if you're truly present, if your future tripping or you're rehashing the past, it's really easy for you to accidentally absorb emotions around you. Which is why being in the present moment is so impactful and important. So if you've noticed that it's difficult for you to be present, let's begin with an embodiment practice to bring you into the present moment.
Brenda 00:28:42 So I'm going to invite you to notice the feeling on the bottoms of your feet. Maybe wiggle the bottoms of your feet so that they can touch the surface beneath them, noticing the the texture or the temperature of anything your feet are touching. There you go. And now let's bring your awareness up to your nose, and let's notice how the air feels when it goes into the nose. Notice how the air feels when it comes out of your mouth. Let's do two more. Notice the air and the temperature. Notice the sensations and how it feels. Notice what's happening in the body. Notice if you can release anything. There you go. There you go. And as you notice, you're suddenly in this moment. Presence ING right now. Bring your attention to something you're looking at right now. Can you notice the texture and the color? There you go. Now shift your gaze and notice something else. Notice a texture that's different and a color that's different. And now notice if you can put something in your hands.
Brenda 00:30:15 Doesn't even matter what it is. It could be a pen, could be your phone, could be a coffee cup. Could be you just put your hands on your legs and just notice the sensation on the palms of your hands. Notice the temperature and the texture. And then from this place of the present moment. Now let's notice what's happening. What's happening in your system and what's happening around you and through this present moment. Awareness. You'll notice that there's more a sense of this is me. This is what's happening for me, and this is what's happening for you, or this is what's happening for the group. All of a sudden, that discernment It becomes simple, and without access to the present moment, it can feel like a big muddy mess. Like what's me, what's not, what's mine, what's yours? But in the present moment, all of a sudden there's this sense of clarity. There's a little bit of a buffer energetically between you and other people around you, which is why this is such an important pillar inside the power framework.
Brenda 00:31:22 Now, within every pillar of the power framework, there are three key components of every single thing that I teach. Those three components are better boundaries, healing your nervous system and understanding your energy. Okay, so when we talk about better boundaries for the presence pillar of the power framework, we're going to talk about better boundaries around your time and better boundaries around your attention. You will notice if you have challenges in attention, which everybody that I've talked to that is an empathic entrepreneur seems to be struggling with distractions and attention issues. The antidote is to come back to the present moment, and then to minimize distractions by articulating what it is that you're doing to create time around you, by changing the multitasking that's happening, and by trying to do one thing at a time. And that really does take some boundary setting boundaries around your time, boundaries around your energy, boundaries around what you are available for. And when we talk about boundaries. There can be some tension that comes up in your system as we start to talk about boundaries, because sometimes it's easy to think that a boundary is about keeping other people out.
Brenda 00:32:42 That's not how I approach boundaries. I approach boundaries as two things. One is it's a how to manual for you so that you can share with other people, and it's a way to set Imitations of what you are willing to do and what you are expecting other people to do. But then also boundaries are a way that we can create close connection by building safety. If you have no boundaries, it's very difficult to feel safe and connected to other people because there's this fear that you'll merge into them. You'll there's a fear that you'll be overtaken by their opinions, by their desires, by their advice. Right. And so sometimes, and this is especially true if you find yourself going into isolation as an empathic entrepreneur. Isolation so that you can actually make sovereign decisions on your own simple boundary around your time and energy, might be the thing that can change everything and allow you to be in connection safely and maintain your sovereignty and agency. Boundaries are a huge part of what I teach, and so I teach about the different ways you can state a boundary, the different ways you can communicate it, and then even a way that you can create frameworks like a boundary framework, a boundary statement framework that can be really supportive.
Brenda 00:34:09 One of my favorites is a way to communicate how a situation is affecting you and what you'd like to happen instead. And it's a combination of the work of Terry Cole and Nonviolent Communication, which is a concept developed by Marshall Rosenberg, and it's a four part framework that goes something like this. I noticed that and state the thing that you noticed. I felt you share how it affected you. I'd like to make a request. That's just a simple statement. And then the fourth part is the ask. I'd like to request that. So I noticed that I felt I'd like to make a request. Here's my request. That's one of my favorite ways to create a statement. One of the things that comes up for us empaths is sometimes we feel like it's almost easier not to set the boundary, because we're so cute into how the boundary feels to other people in their systems. And with these boundary frameworks. And when you apply the power framework, starting with this presence pillar, you're going to find that setting boundaries becomes so much more easy.
Brenda 00:35:25 And then, you know, I told you that there are three things that go into everything. One of them is better boundaries. The second is healing your nervous system. Healing your nervous system is absolutely critical y because if you have child parts inside of you, wounded children, wounded, you know, experienced as trauma that has still been stored in the body, you're making decisions from those wounds, and they're not always the decisions that you, the fully adult resourced, wonderful woman, would make. And in order to create some power and potency for the fully adult resource you, we need to heal those little parts. And we do that with somatic practices like breathwork and somatic coaching. And so if you have not yet open yourself up to a semantic practice, I highly encourage you to do that. There's absolutely a place for talk therapy. But if that's all you're doing, it's just not enough. I'm just going to say it. It's not enough. You've got to be doing the somatic practices to integrate those parts and those wounds.
Brenda 00:36:31 And then the third pillar is understanding your energy. And so as we really dive into this whole power framework, going to be weaving in all the energy around. So the whole point of the power framework is to allow you to do these three things to set better boundaries, Heal your nervous system and understand your energy. So today we talked about the P in the power framework. The Pea is for presence. And the three tenants inside this pillar were the size of your arc field being present in the moment and supporting other people to be more present with you. We also talked about how you can set better boundaries, ways that you can heal your nervous system, and ways that you can understand your energy. If you have any questions about this, please reach out to me, DM me on Instagram or email me Brenda at Brandon Winkle Comm. I'm all ears and I want to know what your questions are so that I can create really meaningful content that can allow you to move the needle on your life for a limited time only.
Brenda 00:37:38 I am hosting one on one power sessions for empathic entrepreneurs. In these sessions, we'll be applying the power framework directly to you and any challenges that you are experiencing. And remember, the Power framework is an acronym that stands for presence, optimize, Wisdom, evaluate, and Renew. To learn more about these power sessions, go to Brenda Winkel. Com forward slash power session. All lowercase. All. One word. Coming soon in 2025 is the relaunch of second chapter. This one's for you. It's a group healing and coaching program. It's going to have a new name, and it's going to incorporate a lot of business strategy for energetics for the empathic entrepreneur. It's going to be a closed container, meaning that it's going to be a cohort. We start in January of 2025, and we'll go all the way through December of 2025 if you want to get on the waiting list for that. Email me at Brenda at Brenda winkle.com or DM me. I'm interested over on Instagram at Brenda Winkle because this is so exciting.
Brenda 00:38:47 I'll release the new name soon, but I'm really excited about it being a cohort that'll be together for a year. Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for listening.
