  • This guided meditation helps you reconnect with your business on a soul level. Through visualization and deep inner work, I guide you to unlock hidden insights about your business's needs and direction. Perfect for entrepreneurs navigating slow seasons who want to emerge stronger and clearer.

    In this episode we explore:

    How to use meditation to overcome business dry spells Techniques for visualizing and communicating with your business entity Ways to identify necessary shifts and improvements in your business Methods for receiving intuitive guidance about delegation and growth
  • Running a successful business isn't always sunshine and rainbows. I'm getting real about my 2024 journey — from a failed launch to juggling a wedding, honeymoon, and house purchase. I learned the most important lesson: that dry spells are actually invitations to level up.

    I'm sharing how I transformed my own business plateau into powerful insights about pricing, marketing, and most importantly, trusting my intuition. Whether you're questioning your prices, feeling pressure to market aggressively, or just trying to figure out your next move, this episode cuts through with what I wish someone had told me.

    Forget the cookie-cutter advice. Let's talk about what actually works for YOUR unique business DNA, from human design to finding your natural sales style. Plus, I'm busting the myth that you need to hustle harder when business slows down (spoiler: sometimes doing less is the answer).

    In this episode, we discuss:

    Why traditional marketing advice might be sabotaging your success

    The truth about pricing (and why your gut feeling matters more than market research)

    What should you focus on during a business dry spell?

    How to know when it's time to invest vs. when to pull back

    The real reason most business owners struggle during dry spells

    Why detaching from your business might be the key to growth

  • Why do women wait until their plans are perfect to take the leap, while men charge ahead with half-baked ideas?

    I sat down with powerhouse entrepreneur Olenka Cullinan for a mind-bending conversation about the science behind why women and men approach business completely differently. From accidentally landing a Costco deal through a viral video to running multiple successful ventures while prioritizing family time, Olenka breaks down how our brain chemistry shapes everything from networking to negotiation.

    What fascinates me most? The revelation that women have double the neural connections between brain hemispheres compared to men – explaining why we excel at team leadership but often hold ourselves back from taking big swings. Olenka shares how her journey from Eastern European "good girl" to boundary-setting business leader required completely rewiring deeply ingrained patterns.

    You'll discover why men pitch ideas on napkins while women wait for perfection, how to identify childhood patterns blocking your growth, and practical strategies for building a thriving business without sacrificing balance. This conversation goes way beyond typical business advice to explore the psychology and neuroscience of success.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    How brain structure differences impact male vs female business approaches

    Why women wait for "perfect" while men pitch on napkins

    Strategies for breaking free from "good girl" syndrome

    The psychology behind finding true work-life balance

    Navigating major retail partnerships as a startup

  • In this mind-bending conversation, astrologer Virginia Rosenberg reveals why 2025 will be a historic year of massive transformation. We dive deep into how major planetary shifts will reshape everything from technology and government to our personal lives. Virginia explains why the fall of "empires" happening right now is just the beginning, and how the movement of Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn into new signs signals a dimensional shift that will fundamentally change how we experience reality.

    I talk with Virginia about what these cosmic changes mean for conscious entrepreneurs, why water and healing become central themes, and how we can navigate this period of intense change with grace. We explore the rise of technocracy, the future of human consciousness, and why personal liberation might be the key to our collective evolution.

    Why multiple governments are currently experiencing collapse and what this means for 2025
