Liberatory Business with Simone Seol

If you've ever sat in a coaching session and felt like the framework was useful but somehow too small, too constricting, like something essential was being left out... I'm inviting you to find out what that something is, and where it went.
Listen to hear more about:
The centuries-old philosophical tradition that every life coach is operating inside of without knowing it — and the specific blind spots it created
What European philosophers actually encountered in the Americas that catalyzed their most famous ideas (and why that history was deliberately suppressed)
Why "What do you want?" might be the most loaded question in coaching — and what it assumes about who you are
What a coaching practice rooted in ancestral wisdom could look like, and why the coming world is going to demand it
If you've been sensing that the relentless focus on individual goals, linear progress, and mindset isn't quite enough — that something older and deeper is asking to be honored in your work — this episode is my attempt to give you the language and the lineage for what you already know.

As I turned 40 recently, I started asking myself what the single biggest lesson of my thirties was — and the answer surprised me. It wasn't a business strategy or a mindset shift. It was about the importance of self-respect in relationships.
Listen to hear more about:
The difference between self-confidence, self-love, and self-respect 
What it looks like when someone loves you without needing to control, validate, or fix you
The quiet, almost invisible moments that told me something fundamental had shifted inside me
If you've been pouring yourself into relationships — romantic, professional, friendships — and wondering why some of them feel so heavy while others feel so free, this episode might show you what's actually making the difference.

You've been told that confidence is an inside job — go inward, believe in yourself, hype yourself up, and then go do the thing. But what if that kind of confidence is fragile and incomplete? 
In this episode, I'm offering a fundamentally different model of confidence — one that you don't have to generate at all.
Listen to hear more about:
The critical lesson that The Lion King (yes, the Disney movie) teaches about confidence that the entire self-help industry gets wrong
The difference between individualistic confidence and relational confidence
A concrete practice for the next time you're about to do something scary
If you've been white-knuckling your way through "I believe in myself" and wondering why it never quite holds, this episode will show you what will.

I'm turning 40, and I could not be more excited about it. I LOVE getting older.
As I reflected on this milestone, I realized there are four things I'm officially done carrying into this next chapter.
If you're at any kind of threshold — 30, 40, 50, or otherwise — this episode is an invitation to ask yourself what you're finally ready to put down, and leave in your past.
