#48 ~ Open the Door to Inner Peace with EFT/Tapping

What an honor to interview Dawn Pensack.  She shares her story of how she arrived in the business she has today and how she has achieved inner peace.  Dawn attributes her success to the people in her business and life that she is accountable to.

As a former, stressed-out teacher, Dawn left the classroom to figure out how to heal after burnout and a few mysterious illnesses.  Finding EFT/Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) was the catalyst for her healing and after finding health and peace again, Dawn became trained and certified and is on a mission to bring EFT to as many people as possible. Dawn is passionate about helping people find alternative ways to stay healthier and happier. In her spare time, Dawn loves reading, chai lattes, and spending time with her family. When it’s not muddy or icy, Dawn can be found exploring new trails with her horse, Chinook, or enjoying time outside.

EFT is a powerful tool to help with stress and illnesses.  After this interview, I shared with Dawn something in my life that has been troubling me and she gave me an EFT session. I had never done EFT and continue to use her techniques to help calm my soul. It works! Curious? Check out her YouTube channel loaded with goodness to help personal and inner peace. 

Finding an accountability group to work with weekly has been instrumental in her growth.  The group focuses on coaching, mentoring, and cheerleading each other without shaming, however, they push each other constructively.  Voxer has been a great go-to that they use throughout the week to help each other to keep moving forward. The group communicates so that true openness is allowed and setting personalities aside is essential.  Because of this, each member has made massive progress. 

May this interview help you seek the calmness that you desire in your business and life.

In adding structure to all that she does, Helen lives a full rich life and offers FREE tools to help all of us to grow and succeed. 

Each month in my Visions to Profits Women’s Membership I offer the Membership Community a theme and then focus the tools around that theme.  This month’s theme is Structure.  Adding structure into business and life can provide inner freedom and even more time to do the things we love. 

As I was working on the monthly content for the membership and shoulding myself about giving the community more and shoulding about letting my podcast sit idle for 3 months, it occurred to me to add structure into the mix.  I immediately reached out to a group of 2000 business leaders all building membership groups like myself and asked who could help me. Helen was one of the first to offer to be on my podcast and boy oh boy, you will be happy you listened in!

Please check out Helen’s free group Freedom in 5 Social Club where she gives a TON of resources for staying on task using structured tools. I joined and am implementing her daily planner.

I was impressed throughout this interview and I hope you are too. Please remember to subscribe to this podcast, leave a 5-star review, and share it with your community!

#41 Goals, Values and Spending Alignment with Carenna Willmont

Do you know your numbers?  I meet with clients all the time who have no idea of their profits and losses from month to month.  It took me a long time to understand the importance of knowing my numbers in business. Numbers tell the truth. They tell us if we should proceed with the business or shut the doors. 

I had been in business for several years, owned my own home and met my husband, Bobby. I came flying in the door one day and proceeded to tell him how awesome I was! Ha! I said, look how much I made this month as I showed him my PNL (profit and loss statement) from my bookkeeper! I increased by $2000! I was overjoyed.  Bobby, who is a CPA, is very business savvy. He did not miss a beat, he pointed to the number on the bottom of the sheet, the NET and said no you didn’t, look what you spent. You spent this amount, therefore you made less than last month. I was SHATTERED . . . and guess what? I did it again with him until I was able to calm down and have him show me how the PNL actually worked. I will never forget that period in business (and our marriage)!

In this episode, I interview Carenna Willmont, CFO at Willmont Financial.  Careena shares the story of how she came to be exactly where she is at today and how she helps others to understand the importance of finances. Carenna takes it a step further and discusses goals, values, and spending alignment. She helps businesses to design their accounting systems incorporating her background in neuroscience.   She works with the bookkeeper, accounting team, and management to create a budget based on the direction the company wants to go. She has developed a system called Service Leadership to help companies make adjustments to save money, gain clarity, and serve the company in their best light. Carenna believes in putting people first. 

What a fantastic insightful interview with Carenna.  Listen in to hear how she has taken one company from 7 to 9 million! Carenna is a breath of fresh air, and it was an honor to interview her!

#40 Falling Down

Accountability is key for achieving all things of greatness in life. My experiences and those I consult and mentor have proven this to be true. Sometimes, I take this piece of the equation for granted.

After falling and smashing my face and body into a rock, accountability once again proved to be key for staying the course... or in my case... taking a rest.  I am beyond grateful for all the women in my life that help me to rest and remember my mantra which is 'Slow my Roll so I can Serve Others'.

Are you interested in adding accountability into your business and life?  Alaska Tracy's team is offering you a relief map to your success. July 28th the doors open for you to sign up for Visions to Profits - A Women's Success Community .   This community will be instrumental in helping you map your Visions, create clarity, navigate actions to reach your results, and stay the course.  Early bird info: Email: AlaskaTracy@alaskatracy.com You will be the first to know when doors open and early bird goodies!

#39 Love: Fishing, Cooking and Adventures in Between

Welcome to Alaska Tracy podcast.  I am thrilled that you are here and so excited to share this episode with you.

I was following a lady on Instagram and became very intrigued with her photos as well as seeing that she had just written a cookbook . . . lo and behold, this is her fifth cookbook in print. So I asked her for an interview and she said yes! I had no idea what to expect when I started the interview with LaDonna Rose Gunderson.

When I clicked on “video,” LaDonna and her husband Ole were sitting in their car in the Ketchikan harbor smiling back at me. They said this was the best place for reception in Ketchikan. Come to find out LaDonna and Ole have one of the most amazing stories!!!  I had tears in my eyes in the first 5 minutes! Their story is one of adventures, overcoming challenges, and an amazingly beautiful marriage of 34 years. They spend all their time together and a lot of it working side-by-side on their 32-foot aluminum fishing boat in Southeast Alaska. So the interview ended up being way more than I could’ve ever expected. Actually, I had no idea, as I always feel divine intervention when asking people to be on my podcast.  I could have talked to them for hours! If you have any questions, comment below and we can do a follow-up interview.

Please listen to the end to hear the story of how LaDonna ended up becoming a writer. Her first book was written because of a challenge they were facing.  It was pivotal in shifting everything in their lives!

What an honor this divine meeting was, and I look forward to giving them both a hug in person someday.  Ketchikan is on my bucket list! When I stopped recording we laughed and laughed and told even more stories. The evening after the interview I was lit up with excitement, wonder, and amazement. There are so many fascinating people in the world that we can learn and grow from, and LaDonna and Ole are two of those people.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy listening to this story of love, inspiration, oh and cooking! I learned a few wonderful tips about marriage and shared them with my husband after the interview!

I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did doing it.  You can read more about LaDonna Rose and buy her new book, The Little Alaskan Crab Cookbook at http://ladonnarose.com  and connect with her (tell her Alaska Tracy sent you) on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest.
