This week we bring back Jaime’s interview with the inspiring Raphan Kebe, owner of Space and Flow, from the archive. Rapha is a business owner, coach, mentor, teacher, author, poet, and hypnotherapist.

Jaime met Raphan Kebe at a yoga retreat. His style as a teacher was different than any yoga class Jaime had ever taken.

Raphan was down-to-earth and inclusive. He brought in the music of Bob Marley and Ben Harper. His yoga practice felt accessible to everyone, at any level.

Raphan shares his journey from touring musician to yoga teacher after a life-changing back injury, and we go deeper into what it really means to find balance, surround yourself with people who believe in you, and push toward your full potential.

In this episode, Jaime dives into how fear—especially around money—can unconsciously influence the way we work, make decisions, and interact with opportunities. Drawing from personal coaching sessions and reflections over the years, Jamie explores how awareness and mindset shifts can create clarity, reduce stress, and improve decision-making in both business and life.

Key Takeaways:

Fear and worry about money can push us into reactive patterns rather than intentional action.

Recognizing old associations between money and fear allows you to step out of scarcity-driven cycles.

Awareness is a powerful tool: simply noticing thought patterns and feelings can prevent them from controlling your decisions.

True control and momentum in business come from clarity, curiosity, and passion—not fear.

Small mindset shifts can lead to more sustainable and aligned business practices.

Who This Episode Is For:

Entrepreneurs struggling with financial anxiety or scarcity thinking

Anyone wanting to understand how fear shapes behavior

Listeners seeking practical ways to cultivate awareness and clarity

Actionable Tips:

Notice when fear or worry arises—don’t try to suppress it.

Ask yourself: “Is this fear helping me move forward, or is it keeping me stuck?”

Focus on curiosity and momentum rather than reacting out of scarcity.

In this episode, business coach and consultant Jaime Bancroft Gennaro explores the quiet, heavy truth of overwhelm—that state where everything feels like too much, but admitting it feels like failure.

She talks about why we resist calling it what it is, how control and perfectionism keep us stuck, and what it really takes to come back to calm. This is an invitation to stop proving, stop pushing, and start giving yourself permission to rest.

If you’ve been holding it all together for too long, this one’s for you.

• Why we get defensive when someone says we’re overwhelmed

• How control, perfectionism, and fear of failure feed overwhelm

• The emotional and physical signs that you’re approaching burnout

• How to use “hard no’s” and “wholehearted yeses” to protect your energy

• The myth of the grind and why rest is a powerful business strategy

• Simple ways to release pressure and build resilience

✨ Overwhelm isn’t failure—it’s feedback. It’s your body and mind asking for relief. ✨ You can’t control your way to peace. Control often masks fear, not strength. ✨ Saying no is an act of self-respect. A “wholehearted yes” matters more than ten resentful yeses. ✨ Rest is not optional. It’s how you reset your nervous system and sustain your success. ✨ You don’t have to prove anything. Your worth isn’t tied to how much you can handle.

• Where am I saying “yes” when I really mean “no”?

• What story am I telling myself about slowing down?

• What can I drop—just for now—to make space for calm?
