The Unshiny Podcast with Jo Casey
I'm Jo Casey and I'm the coach that you come to when you've grown tired of the bro marketers and their obsessions with the size of their funnels are and how early they get up every morning
In this podcast, I'm going to be sharing the Unshiny approach to doing business. And how this can lead to greater connections, more clients, and an all-around lovelier way of doing things. It's all about showing up fully as our genuine selves. Yes. Even with the imperfection and the messiness that can come along with that.
I'm going to be having conversations with fellow business owners, but also people who are pioneers in changing our perceptions of success and who we have to be to attain that. So join me each week as we dive into helping you build your Unshiny business.

No Pain, No Gain? With Holly Worton
Holly Worton is on the show again today and we're talking about the philosophy of “no pain, no gain” and how it applies to healing and personal development.
Is it necessary? Is it an important part of healing? Are there times when we need to step aside from the more gentle types of healing and therapy and turn to something a bit more intense? Is this kind of healing right for everyone? And how do you know if it's right for you? In this episode, we explore the world of more intense therapies, based on some recent personal experience.
In this fascinating episode, Holly shares her recent experience of taking part in a Kambo ceremony - which was, erm... intense but something that she feels was not only worth it, but something she'd like to try again.
Even though we stress this in the show, Kambo is something that we do not recommend you do without proper, trained and supportive guidance.
