Topic - Small Business Productivity: Do less, Achieve More!
Speaker - Barbara Badolati
Be business savvy without burnout, gracious instead of anxious, and energy generative rather than complete deplete.
Since YOU are your business, it is beneficial to work from your four energy systems which will allow you to;
- be clear about your work/life priorities and choices so you stay on purpose
- get into the flow of your productive time by accessing your personal rhythm
- use momentum to gain traction so you can accomplish more
- distinguish your zone of genius and capitalize on resources (D.A.D.)
- cultivate generous self-care which provides more of YOU for your business and life
This training shows how to make your business work for you, rather than having to work your business, which in turn, supports you being the best you can be as an entrepreneur and enjoy a thriving personal life too.
Bio
Barbara Badolati began her personal wellness journey in 1982 from years of an unhealthy lifestyle. She obtained degrees in health education and exercise physiology, followed by internships at two California spas. She has been a key player in the evolution of worksite wellness since 1986 through her company, Alive & Well which provided health initiatives for both the public and private sectors.

We see you, working so hard to build your business. You are reaching for your big dreams and still maintaining all of your current responsibilities.

After you leave our mastermind you'll be able to:
👉Finally, commit to list building activities that will help you gain a broader audience.
👉 Understand what systems need to be in place to help you set your email on autopilot.
👉 Learn ways to become more consistent with your message that will increase your income in the next 12 months.

Christina Malecka with Digital Mindfulness Retreats
Can’t stop scrolling? It’s not your fault!
Tech companies—armed with data from millions of people—know far more about our attention spans than we do. Even worse, they use that data—and research on human psychology—to hijack our brains and keep us hooked on their products. We need technology to run our businesses and social media to promote them. How do we find balance?
It’s easy to feel powerless in a digitized culture where so much of our communication is routed through machines. Digital Mindfulness can help you find that balance to make the shift from being controlled by technology to engaging with it on your own terms.
Join psychotherapist Christina Malecka to get tips and tools to break free from the social media hamster wheel and digital overwhelm. You will leave with concrete tools to improve your tech/life balance and ideas for creating your own mini Digital Mindfulness Retreat at home.
For more information on Digital Mindfulness Retreats: www.dmret.com.

“Don’t let your technology bully you”
NICOLE LUX-RITCHIE BIO
As a technology guide, productivity consultant, and speaker Nicole has enjoyed over two decades of working with small businesses, solopreneurs, and tech-shy individuals to start where they are, use what they have, and do what they can to build sustainable businesses and technology best practices.
Nicole teaches the “Spiral Upward” method to build realistic expectations and sustainable confidence in client learning that fuels the daily practice of using their business systems.
The Spiral Upward method says we start where we are and continue to learn and build upon that foundation to progress upwards towards our goals.

August
Mastermind Meeting
Wild Woman Entrepreneurship
Saturday August 3rd 2:15-4:15
Queen Anne Library 400 West Garfield Street 98119
Speaker: Rachel Butler & Paisley Meekin, Work and Be Well & Honest Wellbeing
Introduction:
Being an entrepreneur and a modern woman is no joke! We choose entrepreneurship to live life on our terms, do work we love, spend more time with family, express our deepest truths in the world. Yet, maintaining focus on our vision and priorities can be a struggle (Am I right!!??) We get understandably overwhelmed by the the mountain of responsibilities we have in addition to running a business - caregiving children or parents, acting as household managers, sustaining partnerships, owning family relationships, maintaining physical and mental health, figuring out changing hormones (!!), the list goes on.
We are not alone in the struggles related to these responsibilities we step into as women. They have shown up in accounts from women throughout history through archetypes, mythology, stories, and records. The archetype of Wild Woman teaches up to wake up from the autopilot of our lives. She reminds us that the world needs our authentic presence, our ideas, our businesses, and our leadership to change human systems. We can gift that when we set down the things that don't align with our work and our priorities, we stop pleasing others and start doing what aligns with our own heart's call.
Description:
In this Mastermind we'll explore archetypes of Modern Woman and Wild Woman, illuminating the patterns that keep us stuck, overwhelmed, confused, anxious, depressed, apathetic and then stepping into the wisdom of the Wild Woman archetype to access the fullness of who we are as women and leaders.
- Recognize the thoughts and behaviors of Modern Women that keep us stuck in overwhelm, confusion, anxiety, depression, apathy
- Uncover the instincts of your Wise, Wild Self
- Gain clarity about your next step toward a more wholehearted life
- See that we're not alone in the challenges we face as women - we're better together!
- Leave with inspiration to recommit to running your business and life your way
This is a powerful session that will leave you deeply aligned with your Self and rejuvenated through connection.
Testimonials from a recent workshop:
“I arrived nervous and numb and left feeling purposeful and inspired. Thank you for igniting a spark.”
"Regardless of age or experience, I was reminded that women have the power to share, accept, and empower each other. We are not alone, all women are born wild. Thank you!"

Taming your Inner Critic
Speaker: Micha Goebig
Ready to curb negative self-talk? This workshop gives you the tools and strategies you need to turn the volume down on your Inner Critic. Join me for a morning of insights, actionable tools, practical exercises, guided meditation, and sharing.
Does your inner critic tell you that you don’t have it in you to succeed? That you are not pretty or tall or thin enough? Do you feel shamed and judged and sabotaged a little—or a lot? Then it’s high time to turn the bloody bastard from a major drag into an ally and cheerleader!
In this workshop, you will learn
- what this mean voice in your head is all about
- how to separate yourself from your inner critic
- which steps you can take to change its lies and limiting beliefs
You will leave the workshop with an actionable list of suggestions and tools that can help you work on positive changes and further strengthen your self-confidence and courage.
