Welcome to Love Activist Luminaries
Come on in, get cozy.
Let’s take a sacred break from the busy.
Connect with our hearts.
Inhale peace and joy.
Exhale love and connection.
Now, let’s explore wonderful ways we can create deep, lasting, magnificent change for the common good.
By leading from love and designing our businesses to truly benefit all (for humans and the more-than-human world).
Let’s find out how we can do all that while thriving in our minds, bodies, souls (because who needs the stress, exhaustion, anxiety, and icks built into extractive capitalist business guidance?).
And since run of the mill approaches such as “conscious capitalism” and “ethical business” come up short (like putting a band-aid on a black hole), let’s dream something new into being.
We can do that.
Because we’re not big business and we don’t answer to Wall Street, we don’t have to play by the tired old “people, planet, profit” paradigm.
We’re micro-businesses.
And we’re free to do what’s good for ourselves as leaders, and beneficial for our clients, communities, environments at the same time.
We have that power.
Catalyzing cultures of compassion, care, and kindness, we foster collective wellbeing by virtue of how we lead and what we activate through our good works.
Since we’re unwilling to grow and lead our ventures using strategies and practices born from extractive capitalism, we need a fresh take.
Through Love Activist Luminaries, it’s my desire to bring you lots of freshness.
For now, expect fresh takes a few times a month.
I’ll mix things up with research, interviews, case studies, and stories, all centering radically loving ways to lead and do good without harming ourselves in the process.
I’m approaching this project as an experiment. I definitely don’t want to do it alone. So I hope you’ll join me.
If all this is up your ally, subscribe at the bottom of this post.
As a start, there are three areas I’ll explore.
💚 Nurturing embodied self-love and inner calm
Mindfulness, meditation, somatic and energetic presence, nature connection, creative expression, and spirituality as avenues to feel our best, lead with love, and develop the capacity to show up every day with strength, courage, and conviction, especially amidst profound suffering and loss.
💸 Money as medicine
Creating a loving, sacred partnership with money as ally; healing money trauma; earning the amount of money you require to live a good life, guilt-free; flourishing financially in the present and future.
🌀 Radical reimagining of business
Centering business practices that model love in action, create harmony within founders and in relation to their clients, customers, communities, further peace and justice, and benefit the more-than-human world while fostering collective wellbeing.
What else should I focus on?
What are your experiences, thoughts, ideas about your business as a channel for love in action?
How do you integrate your spiritual life, your inner evolution, and your activism into your work?
What or who (including yourself) should I feature?
Reach out and let me know!
DM me on Substack. If it fits with the purpose and scope of this project, I’ll get in touch and we’ll explore the possibilities.
All this goodness for free.
Although I’ll likely turn on paid subscriptions at some point (giving people who want to support this work financially a way to do so), everything I publish will be accessible to all. Nothing will be behind a paywall.
Oh and, in case you don’t know me yet, I’m Jeni.
I’m a brand and strategy consultant turned transformational leadership coach and money healer. (I know…money healer! But it’s true. So, I’m willing to risk some eye rolls on that one. 😂)
I help consultants, creatives, coaches, and healers build love in action businesses that eschew the extractive practices of late stage capitalism.
And this project is where I expand upon what a love in action business is and can be.
I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
Much love, Jeni
