Dealing with the “Shoulds.” Boundaries for Family and Friends {Ep 229}
Send us Fan MailEveryone has an opinion when you start a business and somehow they get louder the moment you begin to succeed. I'm talking about the endless “shoulds” that come from family, friends, and people who mean well but aren’t building what you’re building and how that noise can drag you into second guessing, overexplaining, and changing your work just to keep the peace. I share simple, real world boundary setting for small business owners. Why the people closest to you are often not your ideal client, how to stop taking business...
Stop Shapeshifting. Letting Your Business Fit You {Ep 228}
Send us Fan MailIf your business feels heavy, it’s not a sign you should “try harder”. It’s often a sign you’ve been shape shifting to fit expectations that were never designed for you in the first place. I’m talking about the slow, sneaky patterns that pull us out of our own rhythm. Saying yes when we don’t want to, stacking commitments we can’t hold, and forcing ourselves into routines that look productive but feel awful.I share why your business should fit your life, not replace it, and why blindly foll...
Living With Meaning and Inner Guidance {Ep 227}
Send us Fan MailYour crown chakra is not just a “spiritual” idea. It’s a real lens for how you receive guidance, meaning, and perspective. We dig into what it looks like when your inner child meets the Crown Chakra. Learning from past generations, feeling connected to the collective, and still staying rooted in your own energy so you don’t get drained by the wrong dynamics.I get honest about boundaries and the moments when you finally admit a connection is costing you too much. From there, the conversation moves into ripple effects and purp...
Embracing the Metaphysical Without Abandoning Your Religious Roots {Ep 226}
Send us Fan MailYour spiritual world starts expanding and suddenly you feel it. That quiet pull between who you were taught to be and who you’re becoming. I’m sharing something personal today, because I know how complicated it can feel to explore metaphysical spirituality, intuition, and psychic gifts while your family and your history are rooted in religion. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the new practices, it’s the guilt, the loyalty, and the fear of being misunderstood by the people you love. I get into why shame often has more to do wit...
Your Business is Not an Emergency Room {Ep 225}
Send us Fan MailYour phone buzzes, an email lands, a client updates a project, and suddenly your chest tightens like something is on fire. I know that feeling, and I’m here to say it plainly, your business is not an emergency room. After more than 30 years in healthcare on the frontline, I’ve seen what real emergencies look like, and I’ve also seen how easy it is to bring that same adrenaline-fuelled urgency into entrepreneurship where it doesn’t belong. I talk about the hidden cost of running a small business in constant...
Holding the Space Without Taking On The Baggage {Ep 224}
Send us Fan MailIf you’ve ever finished a client session and felt like you’re carrying someone else’s anxiety in your chest, their stress in your shoulders, or their problems in your head, we made this conversation for you. I’m talking about the skill that separates sustainable coaches from burned-out helpers. Holding space with strong emotional boundaries, so you can stay kind, present, and clear without absorbing a client’s baggage.I get practical and a little blunt. I break down how I tune in with permission, feel what a client feels, and...
Trusting Your Intuition Without Losing Clarity {Ep 223}
Send us Fan MailSome of the loudest “noises” in life sound like your own thoughts. But what if a big chunk of them were inherited, taught, or absorbed when you were young, and your inner child is still carrying them around?I’m talking about the inner child through the lens of the Third Eye Chakra, where mental clarity, intuition, and creativity meet. We start with the practical side. Brain fog, focus, and the moments when your mind doesn’t feel as sharp as you want it to be. Instead of shame, I offer a gentle...
Why Your To-Do List Feels Heavy {Ep 222}
Send us Fan MailYour to-do list can look harmless on paper and still feel like a brick on your chest. We’ve all had those days where the list isn’t just “a lot” it feels heavy, blurry, and somehow personal. I want to pull that apart and show you what’s really going on so you can stop blaming yourself and start planning in a way that feels lighter.I'll talk about the key distinction that changes everything. Mental tasks versus energetic tasks. Mental tasks are your logical admin like scheduling, filing, paying bills, and...
The Gap Between Knowing and Acting {Ep 221}
Send us Fan MailYou can be completely clear on what to do next and still not do it. That’s not a character flaw, and it’s not a sign you need more information. It’s the gap between knowing and acting and it’s where momentum gets built or quietly lost in business and in life.I dig into why clarity isn’t the thing that creates movement. Clarity gives direction, but decision is what moves you forward. When you’re hesitating, it often isn’t loud fear. It’s subtle delay that’s easy to justify...
When Trust Shapes the Way You Speak {Ep 220}
Send us Fan MailYour Throat Chakra isn’t just about speaking clearly. It’s about whether you feel safe enough to be honest, whether you trust yourself, and whether your inner child believes it’s allowed to take up space. When that foundation is missing, communication can sound stiff or guarded, even when your intentions are good. I walk through how the Throat Chakra is supported by the lower chakras like grounding, stability, and security, and why self-compassion from the heart changes the way your words land. I also invite you to reflect on childho...
The Cost of “Almost” Aligned Clients {B'Day Fun D12 Ep 219}
Send us Fan MailThe client looks “good enough”, the money helps, and nothing is obviously wrong yet your body hesitates. That quiet hesitation is the start of what I call an almost aligned client, and it can cost far more than a few extra hours. I talk through the real texture of the half-yes. The tight chest, the pause before replying, the internal negotiation that says “I’m being too picky” while your nervous system says “no”. If you’ve ever felt slightly on edge with a client you technically should be happy about, you’ll recognise this imm...
Helping People Without Being Pushy {B'Day Fun D11 Ep 218}
Send us Fan MailYour intuition can be a superpower in business, but it can also become a shortcut into pressure if you’re not careful. I get real about the moment “helping” starts turning into steering and how to catch it before it damages trust. If you’ve ever felt that surge of urgency to convince someone, persuade them, or “wake them up,” this conversation brings you back to grounded, ethical selling that still feels confident and clear.I unpack the difference between intuition and projection in sales conversations. Intuition notices patterns and offers insight with...
