The Unveil Podcast

On today’s Unveil Podcast, Victoria Fenton is joined by fellow Brit and now fellow local Austinite, James Williams. James is a High Performance Coach - and we get into what that truly means during the interview. James is, alongside his wife Emily, currently leading the Mastermind which our founder is a part of - and during this episode you will hear how James delivers immense service to those with whom he works. We also get into James’s history. In 2015 James was on the tail end of a 12 year career that wasn’t bringing out the best in him, so he chose to make a change and go against the grain of what he was taught was possible. He left his old life to join his wife, Emily, in her online business, whilst training as a coach and studying. In 2016, a year to the day he left his old career, he was certified as a High Performance Coach through the Institute of High Performance. Today, his strengths are in designing and communicating personal recipes for mental, emotional and physical growth. He is passionate about focusing on creating outer world impact through inner world mastery - and during this episode you will get a glimpse into James’s personal philosophy around the world of High Performance, and how that isn’t just about strategies and tactics, or adding the next best hack or gadget. Instead, it is all about two things: the present moment, and the business of you. Enjoy today’s episode - and you can find James in a couple of places across the interwebs. First, his personal coaching work can be found at The Growth Edge. Secondly, he works with a lot of the programs run by Emily Williams over at I Heart My Life Follow James on Instagram, or hunt him down on LinkedIn - he’s @jamesrswilliams And stay tuned to James’s socials over the coming months - as he hints at during this episode, there’s some exciting things on the horizon for him!

Join Victoria and Brace this episode as they unpack addiction, in all its forms. They talk about: What could be classified as an addiction, and whether the distinction of an addiction versus normal behavior should be more ‘grey’ The purpose of an addiction and the reasons addictions exist The first step in moving through an addiction The way the coaching container develops as addictions are addressed How the complexities of addiction mean that you are ultimately dealing with initial ‘causes’ and multifaceted consequences - but how that really doesn’t mean that healing from addiction requires unpacking and apologizing for every consequence The brilliance, and potential harm, within the 12 step process The shame of addiction and how to work with that The falseness of the statement “you are never healed” The problem with the labels of addiction, sobriety and ‘Recovered’ addict This is such a deep and explorative episode. Victoria takes the reigns as she describes her work with addicts and those with serious dependencies on substances. She walks you through her different approach which takes a trauma-informed lens when it comes to addiction: and the process of being more with oneself, and more with each single individual moment - which argues against the necessity of a cold turkey approach to overcoming substance dependence. A hugely revelatory episode, we hope that this brings you some insights, awareness and different ways to think about addictions, addicts and your own addictive tendencies. As always: like, subscribe, share - and this time, really importantly, if you know someone facing addiction, send this episode to them to offer some support.   Mentioned in this podcast: The Aletheia Group website is now live: thealetheiagroup.com Registration to be part of the founding member cohort of The Unveil Academy is now open: unveilacademy.com - and register prior to August 1st to attend Summer School - 2 sessions over August on The Gene Keys.

On our first full interview episode, Victoria Fenton is joined by colleague, mentor and coach Emily Williams. Emily is a success coach, author, podcast host and CEO who, at one point, couldn’t get a job at Starbucks. After experiencing a quarter-life crisis, she moved from Ohio to London (where she knew no one!) and in 2014 launched her company, I Heart My Life. She made $442 in her first month—and then went on to hit six figures in six months, before her 30th birthday. She grew her business into seven figures in under 18 months. Today, Emily works with ambitious, heart-centered women all over the world in helping them bust through the obstacles that hold their dreams and goals hostage so they can free themselves to create a life that's better than their dreams through her company's membership, courses and retreats. This episode covers that success story, in brief, but digs more into what Emily has been through in the last year with her business. After the success, what do you do when things don’t feel right anymore? How can you make the tough decisions which are in your heart, but - on the surface at least - look like they might threaten what you have built. Emily is a friend of Unveil - and, as Victoria shares in the opening of the podcast, a VERY big part of how Victoria is able to be in the US and building what you see now. For that reason, it was important to the Unveil family to have Emily on FIRST, and to share with you her light, energy and her deeply infectious belief that absolutely anything is possible. Find Emily on social media @emilywilliams I Heart My Life Join the Waitlist for the I Heart My Life Membership If you’ve been bitten by Emily’s beliefs in what’s possible for you, but a membership isn’t for you, we highly encourage trying the I Heart My Life Course. Listen to Emily interview some awesome guests on the I Heart My Life Podcast. And, we’ll have him on the podcast soon, but if you want to know more about James - find him on social media @jamesrswilliams - and whilst he’s deeply involved in the work with Emily at I Heart My Life, you can explore his coaching work at The Growth Edge.

Today’s episode is a complex exploration of one of the most important topics, and experiences, that we as humans live through: Shame. All-pervasive and complex in its manifestations and results, shame can be obvious or subtle in the ways it shows up, maneuvers and even manipulates our lives. Join Victoria Fenton and Brace Harris as they explore this topic in great depth, including a discussion of: Why shame exists - and the difference between toxic shame and healthy shame What makes shame toxic The inextricable link between shame and trauma, and how it is often shame that interrupts the completion of the cycle of response to trauma, meaning that a trauma imprint is laid down The many reaches of shame - and how it is linked to agency and the feeling of being in control Real life examples of how one experience, with different context, can mean the difference between something creating shame, or not The way to navigate through the landscape of personal shame: we give you the literal “how-to” of the dance of allowing shame to evaporate The process of metabolizing shame How Human Design can help in the movement through shame This is a really deep episode in which Victoria leads you, the listener, through the dance with, around and through one of the most powerful influences within the whole of human experience. As ever, she shares deeply and personally about her relationship with, and current work on, her own shame. Victoria also discusses - for the first time - her concept of shame in leadership, and her energetic movement into a leadership role which honors flaws and weaknesses without needing to feel ashamed of them just because she is in a position of leadership. This is a truly deep and powerful episode, with a lot of wisdom and incredible insights shared from the Unveil Team.

The theme for today's episode is all about why we prevent ourselves from doing what we know we "should" do - or perhaps even really want to do. We discuss: The advantageous 'reasons' for self-sabotage The intricate ways in which we convince ourselves of the justification for our sabotage Different ways in which we can sabotage ourselves - and some of them you may not even realize were sabotage! Why we never see our sabotage until we need to deal with it - and how that can often take years The underlying survival mechanisms at play within all of this People pleasing and illness being a survival strategy of self-sabotage This is perhaps one of the most varied Unveil Podcast episodes ever! Victoria and Brace share their personal sabotage stories and it leads them into a wide-ranging discussion about the discipline of acting (and why Improv is an allegory for life), and so much more. A fun episode, with some important updates at the start from the Unveil crew.

Today’s Unveil Podcast episode is a real insight into the way we, as humans, try to rationalize away our sensations/impulses and move on from painful experiences - when the truth is that sham acceptance simply prolongs the painful nature of the memory. Inspired by a recent quadcast between podcast legends @lukestorey @cal.callahan @joshtrentofficial and @doctormitozen - this episode tackles the very final elements of what was an epic and brilliant podcast about all sorts of things. Without wanting to criticize their statements at all, @victorialfenton felt there was more nuance to add to their conclusions about everything being meant to be, and there being a perfection to all things in the universe, including evil. To be clear, as we state in this podcast, we do genuinely believe that for those having that discussion, this was their reality - and a really grounded place that they have found themselves within. Our podcast just adds color and breadth to those conclusions in order to honor something that is essential BEFORE we can arrive at those places of peace within the struggle: process. This is a hugely varied discussion, yet again - and Victoria covers some of our unique integrative modalities as she explains: When things have to be resolved in the soma, emotions or psyche When things literally cannot be resolved in the inner realms and physiological interventions are required The trauma-response inherent in escaping the present moment experience in an attempt to get to “it was all meant to be” How to be within the present, lived experience without bypassing - and why it’s necessary And so, so much more… a great episode which also includes all of the Academy updates, Founding Member pricing, funding options and a tonne more.

The first half of this episode will share all of the details, the why/what/where and when of learning with Unveil. And the Coach Training Certification Curriculum Brochure is available NOW at unveilacademy.com/coachtrainingcurriculum We also use this episode, and the announcements of all of the changes to Unveil, to talk about LISTENING. The only reason we are pivoting so easily and smoothly as a company is because we listen. Firstly, to ourselves and the impulses and truths that are within us. Then, to each other - deeply - honoring what we truly need. In this episode we discuss: what it feels like when you listen, to you and the other what it feels like when you don't the power of listening in relationship the potential of presence HOW to listen, and to make sure you keep listening We also somehow get into a conversation about robots... which just goes to show that the standard Unveil segues are still going to exist no matter WHAT changes we make!!

Victoria Fenton takes the lead this week as we announce our Coach Training Certification by talking about one of the topics dear to our heart: clarity of communication within the coaching industry. And we begin with "Nervous System Regulation". (Watch the YouTube video at: bit.ly/episode31video) A buzzword-phrase, a soundbite - and a sentence rich with potentially confusing interpretations which our Unveilers break down in this episode. What the heck does this even mean Is having a regulated nervous system really the "key to life" (clue: not exactly, and it very much depends - and it depends on what you really mean by 'regulated') What the nervous system is SUPPOSED to be doing 100% of the time When regulation really isn't the point or the desired outcome How having 'regulated' as your goal denies the reality of the lived experience The role of regulation and how to actually do it (simply) when you do need to The times when you really shouldn't be looking at regulation at all We also talk about the change-up in the Unveil dynamic and hint at a few announcements that we will make NEXT week on the podcast, as things at Unveil HQ change somewhat and we bring some launches FORWARD due to high demand. (We're sorry, we don't mean to tease, but we want to have somewhere to send you when we announce all the new things coming from Unveil and beyond!)

What an Episode, what a week, what a journey our Unveilers are on! This week, Brace Harris and Victoria Fenton are REUNITED! But, as they reveal on this Episode, not for long... During this Episode Victoria discusses the challenges she has faced since being back in LA, and how this has caused her to ask deep questions and really come to terms with listening to the signals that the Universe has been sending. As such, this Episode becomes a discussion about how to listen to those signals, and follow the call that comes from the world around you towards where you truly need to be. As ever, these kinds of processes to not lead to decisions which have no impact. In order to navigate through listening to the call, Victoria had to have some really challenging conversations, including ones with Brace. They share how they, as a partnership, navigate through these challenging conversations, how they remain a stand for one another even when it would seem like they could turn against each other - and Brace shares how his mission has always been to come back to the table in the face of Victoria's whirlwind. This is a really revealing Episode, as ever. Victoria shares what's underneath the latest round of decisions - and there are some HUGE announcements made about the upcoming Unveil Coach Training Certification, Victoria's memoir (which is being released soon) and a new member of the Unveil family arriving in August.

Our first Unveil Guest Episode - and it couldn't be more timely, juicy or PERFECT. Here at Unveil, we adore Megan Thoma. She is our friend and colleague, fellow Master Coach and relationships expert. Megan helps women to connect to their authentic power, break up with toxic patterns, and intentionally create deeper, more meaningful relationships. She works to empower women, supporting them to be fulfilled at any stage of their life. She shows women how to break up with the "box of BS" that societal conditions put them in. Her mission is to help women understand who they are and what they want, and show them that ALL is possible. Wow. But that's only Megan's official bio. What's EVEN MORE special about Megan is that she is a clear stand for healthy relationships, and you FEEL that when you interact with her. During this episode, she shares: - What "toxic dating" means and how to know if you're in a toxic dating situation - Her experience, both within toxic dating and her navigation out of her toxic dating patterns - What leads to being within a toxic dating situation, and how we end up feeling 'stuck' there - What you can do to recognize if you're engaged in toxic dating, and how to move yourself to a place where you can move beyond it. - The reality of what the movement away from toxic dating takes and how it's about you, not the other person - The magic that's on the other side of toxic dating and what is possible for you in this world When it comes to this episode - it's not just for women! Brace Harris shares his experience and compassion with the female experience. And Megan is very clear: people aren't toxic, relationships aren't toxic, but people's ways of interacting and dating can definitely be toxic. And, of course, we discuss Johnny Depp and Amber Heard: the most visible example of toxic dating at this moment in time. Megan shares a coach's perspective on this relationship, the trial and their needs... Because what they really need is Megan's latest course!! Launching May 15th, Megan Thoma is leading a group of women through a three week End Toxic Dating course which supports them to Remember, Release and Reclaim themselves and heal their toxic dating patterns, for good. For anyone interested in healing their relationship with themselves, and the way they relate, this course is for you. To get access to Megan's Course, go follow her and DM her the words "I want IN!" - find her @megan_thoma Megan's website is at meganthoma.com We also mentioned the dating app Hinge (Megan's there, fellas!) We'd give you links to follow along with the trial, but it's basically everywhere on YouTube so if you want to, you'll easily find it! We LOVED having Megan with us, and are now open to guests on the Unveil Podcast. We have LOTS stored up which we're beginning to record as of now. So if YOU have a message to share with the world that supports our listeners to peek behind the curtains of their reality, we want to hear from you. Send us an email at podcast@unveilenterprises.com and we'll send you our podcast guest form to fill in. Enjoy this episode, and jump into this empowered space with Megan, and the Unveil Team!
