S7E01 - Pleasurable Business with Ainslie Young

My work & business can be pleasurable? Easeful? I want to
believe you, but I just don't think it’s so....


Today we’re speaking with Ainslie Young, a Pleasure Mentor for
ambitious women in business. Ainslie works with coaches,
creatives, and practitioners to create successful and wildly
pleasurable businesses without burning out and selling out their
souls. Ainslie has dedicated years of personal inquiry,
exploration & training (including as a Feminine Embodiment
Coach with our school) in exploring how to weave more
pleasure& ease into the way she works. She walks her talk.
Earlier this year, our school recognized Ainslie’s work in our
2022 Excellence In Coaching Celebrations in the category of
Embodied Leadership. We know she’s exemplary as a leader (&
we only want to bring you the absolute best on our podcast).


 


During this podcast, we’ll explore:


The 4 dimensions of pleasure (& why it’s not necessarily
full-body orgasm while walking down the street

Why burnout & feeling overstretched is the norm in
business & how that currently shows up in Ainslie &
Jenna’s body

When struggle = strength. Ainslie shares her current inquiry.

Toxic capitalism & how Jenna’s unwinding from ‘once I
just have a little more I’llbe established...’ in her own
pleasure journey

Nervous system orientation & how it responds to pleasure

Why pleasure became a non-negotiable for Ainslie as a new mom
& her first year of making a commitment to this way of
business

Ainslie shares TONS of practical suggestions for what it
looks like in her own day



 


This is a great podcast for anyone feeling burnout or looking for
a different way to work. It’s also a great podcast for
entrepreneurs and coaches who want to hear the intimacies of how
Jenna & Ainslie have shown up over the course of their
entrepreneurial journey.
