Every Tuesday for 40-60 min, your host, Mallory Erickson, will be having real and raw conversations with some of the best personal and professional development experts, many of whom are outside the nonprofit sector. These are bestselling authors, world-renowned researchers, and TEDx experts, most of whom have never spoken to a non-profit audience before. They have come ready to share expertise, lessons, and stories that will fundamentally change the way you show up as a leader and fundraiser. There are so many valuable lessons nonprofit leaders are missing because they are outside of their typical orbit, but no more. Mallory is bringing them in and helping to apply her guest's expertise to disrupt the nonprofit sector once and for all. So if you are ready to learn how to upgrade your fundraising strategy, leadership skills, energy, habits, and mindset to bring in more funding and actually have some fun doing it, then this is the ri…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T22:17:44.649319+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-the-fundraising-4083661"},"episode":{"title":"292: The Science of Stuck & How to Move Forward in Your Fundraising with Britt Frank","slug":"292-the-science-of-stuck-how-to-move-forward-in-your-fundraising-with-britt-frank","published_at":"2026-04-14T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-the-fundraising-4083661/292-the-science-of-stuck-how-to-move-forward-in-your-fundraising-with-britt-frank","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-the-fundraising-4083661","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/ICAAL6127491354.mp3?updated=1776179524","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/ICAAL6127491354.mp3?updated=1776179524","summary":"We’ve all been there: Ghosted by a donor and wondering why, why, why? My guest on this episode of What the Fundraising is showing us how to redirect our minds, dismantling the reflexive responses that play in our heads and inhabit our bodies. Britt Frank, a somatic psychotherapist, trauma expert, and author of⁠ \"The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward,\"⁠ walks us through the many ways in which our reactions (and overreactions) are embedded within our bodies. Because so many of us are detached from our own sensations, we revert automatically to our brains in search of solutions. And that's all too often pinging around inside our heads? Lots of noisy self-doubts, recrimination, and other negative thoughts that do not serve. As Britt explains, however, we can befriend even the most toxic of emotions and in so doing diffuse them. “When we know how our brains work, we can feel like we're in the driver's seat of our life,” she says, “instead of locked in the trunk of the car, driving 95 miles down the highway.” You’ll love hearing how this multi-modality therapist and thinker came to her work, why ultimatums are less effective than healthy boundaries, and what modest actions you can take to interrupt when your body has taken over the driver’s seat.
