  • Is it possible to beat burnout and enthusiastically enjoy your work again? Yes, you CAN rediscover your zone of genius! Today’s episode is a re-air of an interview from about a year ago with Michael Graham, a former client of mine and the owner and founder of Satsang Vanworks. His story is impactful in showing how someone can go from feeling burned out and unenthusiastic about their business to loving their work and feeling fulfilled in their purpose. It all happens through the strategic implementation of systems and mindset shifts. Join us to learn more!

    Michael Graham started Satsang Vanworks in Lafayette, Colorado, in 2017. He uses his skills as a high-caliper woodworker honed over more than two decades to bring vibrancy and true craftsmanship to the luxury van building industry. Following the growing demand, Michael has worked to expand his company to create a space for van conversions and CNC milling. In this conversation, Michael discusses what it means to run a business from a sacred place, how not to personalize every YES and every NO, and what it’s like to leave burnout behind and love your business again. Michael also shares what it’s like to live the “van life,” so you’ll enjoy his insights if you’ve ever dreamed of roaming the world in a van.

    How Michael got his start and came to the work he does todayWhy Michael wanted to help people get out of the “mortgage trap” in today’s worldHow Michael formed the foundations of his business to align with his values and be an extension of his spiritualityWhy he chose to use the word Satsang (a Sanskrit word meaning “sacred community”) in his business nameHow Michael came to a breaking point and worked through feelings of burnoutHow Michael learned to not personalize every YES and every NO How implementing systems and trusting the process can bring fresh confidence to a business ownerHow Michael learned to step into his Saturn energy and his experience with Mars to find more ease in his workHow he gained credibility through finding freedom to do his work and trusting himself as a unique creator in the van building industryCommon misconceptions about van lifeHow working with Paula helped Michael better understand himself and his business, especially in gaining insights through his birth chartHear Michael’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, morning routine, and what he’s reading right now.

  • I’m excited to bring you this episode with Ramdev Dale Borglum, the founder and executive director of the Living/Dying Project. He is a devotee and student of Maharajji Neem Karoli Baba, and he spent a lot of time in India with Ram Dass and Krishna Das. Ramdev Dale is also a client of mine, as I’ve helped with marketing for the Living Dying Project and the process to streamline their message to bring in more income as a nonprofit. He co-authored the Journey of Awakening: A Meditator’s Guidebook with Ram Dass, Daniel Goleman, and Dwarkanath Bonner, and has taught meditation since 1974. 

    Ramdev Dale lectures and gives workshops on meditation, healing, spiritual support for those with life-threatening illnesses, and caregiving as a spiritual practice. We discuss the conscious dying movement, how the fear of death holds us back, and tools that we can use when we are with a dying person to connect and support them and ourselves. We talk about Dale’s journey, background, and what spiritual practice is in today’s changing world. 

    Before we get started, I want to remind you that my premier year-long program, the Cosmic Business Lab, begins on January 2. See the link below to sign up today!

  • As I am in India right now, I’ve decided to pull back the curtain on a recent coaching session with my coach, Liz Kimball, to give a raw and deep behind-the-scenes look at my business. This was last month during the Ancestor Fortnight when I was at home with my family after my dad had major surgery. There was a LOT going on for me, so you are getting an unprocessed, unfiltered look at my vulnerabilities. Why am I doing this? I want to be completely transparent about where I am and how this current process looks for me. I wouldn’t be where I am without the coaching programs and support I have invested in, and I want to help you in the same ways that my coaches help me. Join us for this unusual episode!
