Into The Wild – Details, episodes & analysis

What happens when you outgrow the very thing that made you successful?

Facing the older version of yourself—the one who doesn't fit where you're going—is all a part of leveling up.

For years, I was considered the "PR Agency Girl," but the moment I knew I didn't identify with that woman anymore, I felt it. It took a while for my identity and how I saw myself to actually catch up with the person I was becoming.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• How we get stuck in old patterns of thinking and struggle to move on.
• What happened when I hit a huge goal and how my identity needed to catch up.
• The identity lag effect and the three faces we wear in the midst of it.
• A recent experience I had with a psychiatrist that made me reflect on identity.
• The role family plays in keeping you stuck in your old identity (and how to break free).
• How the identity threat and fear of abandonment impact your identity release.
• What it takes to integrate your new identity and walk into every room confidently.
• How your identity growth is actually a gift to the other people around you.

Let's talk about failure—is it an ending, or is it an opportunity?

Entrepreneurs agree that you learn a lot more from your failure than you do your successes. Every failure is actually a compass pointing you towards your sweet spot in life. Over time, your failures actually become your competitive advantage.

Some of the most successful people in history all have one thing in common: they failed hundreds of times before they actually made it. Why? Because every time they failed, they were actually collecting data on how to get it right and becoming resilient.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• How failing can actually nudge you in the right direction.
• What is really happening when you dare to try but fall short.
• The not-so-secret way you can collect incredible marketing intelligence.
• The five business-boosting things that failing actually creates.
• What could happen if you give up too soon just because you failed.
• How real-world feedback beats theoretical knowledge every time.
• How you can use your setbacks to help others going through the same thing.
• What you can do when you bomb, in life or in business, to move forward.
• How to use the 1:3:1 method to solve your problems.
• What the person who has failed the most in your industry already knows.

You need to learn how to say NO.

The most important word in your professional vocabulary isn't "sales" or "revenue" — it's "no." As an entrepreneur, you probably feel a lot of pressure to do it all. But saying yes to everything isn't the answer. If you don't put up boundaries for yourself, you're likely to experience burnout and not really feel like you're doing anything well.

Building your boundary blueprint starts with setting your non-negotiables. These non-negotiable things can be as big or small as you want them to be, whether that's a weekly bath or prioritizing a quarterly vacation. This will help you shape your boundaries and work to reduce the friction in your life.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• How saying yes to everything can actually diminish your true value.
• Why mastering the art of saying no is critical in today's workplace.
• The hidden mental and physical impacts of saying yes to everything.
• How harnessing the power of changing your mindset can heal you.
• Why women, more often than men, feel pressure to say yes to everything.
• Why it's so important to take time for yourself and what that should look like.
• The fear that drives us to say yes when we want to say no (and what to do about it).
• How I handled a recent situation where I felt uncomfortable saying no.
• How responding to people consciously sets expectations and maintains boundaries.

Your most difficult emotions are not to be ignored.

Alexi Panos is a leader in the embodied wisdom movement as well as an expert in somatics, the nervous system, and trauma. She hosts the top-ranked self-improvement podcast Unleashed, and also founded the non-profit E.P.I.C. (Everyday People Initiating Change).

Alexi emphasizes being open enough to feel the beauty of life—even when that brings the pain of grief too. Our pain-averse society is used to avoiding feeling tough emotions, but there is so much to gain on the other side. If you're feeling stuck in trauma and you're ready to let go, finding a trusted person to hold that space with you (and love you through it) can change everything.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• The grief portal Alexi went through and why it was so intense.
• Why motherhood is an initiation that nothing else can really compare to.
• How being sanitized from grief has influenced society (and why it needs to change).
• What happens when we bury our feelings in the darkness or shame our emotions.
• What must be true in order to safely release trauma and be in the present moment.
• How to stop striving for what you want and start magnetizing it.
• Why finding pleasure is the key to growing your business (and simply enjoying life).
• The tendency for women to hold "invisible labor" and how it creates resentment.
• Ideas for working with your partner to divide labor fairly.
• Why finding pleasure is one of the most productive things you can do.

What it means to be a wild woman:

• The freedom to grieve, expand, and exist without worrying about anyone else.
