  • What the F is Alignment? with Heather Mann

    Alignment is a MAJOR buzz word 🐝 in the business world, particularly in the human design and Instagram worlds. But what does it actually mean? Even more.. what does it look and feel like?

  • Meet Brenna Fox, Owner of Island Ice & Inner Circle Member
    Meet Brenna Fox, owner of Island Ice, Inner Circle Member and the Ice Princess of North Captiva Island! Brenna came to me last year recently sober and wondering what the heck she was going to do next after a lifetime as a bartender. She was making $14/hour at a job she dreaded and wanted to do something that made her feel good inside.
    She noticed a supply & demand issue on the small island where she lives in Florida. People and restaurants were constantly running out of ICE. Well 6 months later, Brenna has two commercial ice machines, a reverse osmosis system, three commercial freezers and a business that is FULLY supporting her.
    In this episode we discuss:
    👉  Not being afraid to try something new
    👉  The importance of community to keep you accountable
    👉  Running your business YOUR way, not the customer’s way
    👉  Figuring things out as you go because none of us have all the answers

  • Episode 25: Taking a Page From My Own Playbook

    In today’s episode, I go solo and talk to you about some of the struggles I’m having in my business. Instead of freaking out and overworking myself (& my team) to try to fix the problems before my course’s launch, I decided to take a page from my own playbook and give myself time to breathe. Instead, I am delaying the launch while I get my ducks in a row.


    In this episode I discuss:

    👉  How I leaned on the Inner Circle when I had an issue in my business

    👉  How to spend your energy in the right places

    👉  Business is about trial and error, so don’t stress about the errors

    👉  Why it's important to show up authentically with your community

    👉  What to expect from the next season of Ask Abby; my new course and the next round of the Inner Circle!

    This is the last episode of Season 1, don’t miss it!
