The Why
Every once in a while, I ask the women in my Business Mindset Alchemists private Facebook group what they'd like me to talk about on this show, and the topic of woo came up: how to get over your fear of sharing your woo. This is something I've personally struggled with, and I know it's something other people struggle with.
I'm going to be honest here: I'm still not 100% open about my woo, and I would really like to be. I think I'm still taking baby steps to get there. If you've been following me for any amount of time, you've probably been seeing it come out little by little.
I knew this wasn't a topic that I considered myself to be an expert on, so I contacted four online business friends I considered to be experts on the topic, and asked them about their experiences. I asked them for their top tips on how people can get over their fear of sharing their woo, so people can be 100% authentic and aligned and open online...if that's what they want. And so I got together this small group of four “woo experts,” people whom I consider to be open about their woo, to record mini interviews on the topic.
This extended episode took a couple of months to pull together, and I'm super excited that it's ready for your ears.
The Definition
Let's talk about “woo.” It's a heavy word, and as you'll hear in the episode, some of the experts don't like the word at all. Joanna Hennon even said she hated it. It's not surprising why: while I like the word, because I love woo stuff, and I see it as the secret sauce to many of the women I love working with, the official definitions are pretty derogatory. Let's take a look:
Woo-woo. adjective \ˈwü-ˌwü\ dubiously or outlandishly mystical, supernatural, or unscientific. Merriam-Webster.com.
Woo-woo. adjective/ˈwuːˌwuː (derogatory, slang) based on or involving irrational superstition. Dictionary.com
Yeah. So, not very positive. It's easy to see why so many people feel uncomfortable with sharing their woo side. And yet, as Lisa Wechtenhiser says on the show, “Everybody has it to one degree or another.” And it's true. It's just a matter of how you integrate that into your life and business.
