What happens when success feels like a beautiful prison? Australian jewelry designer Scosha shares her raw journey of building a 20-year jewelry empire while navigating financial crashes, celebrity endorsements, cancer, divorce, and ultimately the healing that set her free. From accidentally starting her business with macrame learned in Brazil to working with brands like Ralph Lauren and getting Brad Pitt wearing her jewelry, Scosha's story isn't just about business growth but about choosing authenticity over approval.

In this deeply personal conversation, Scosha reveals why her business actually grew during the 2008 crisis, how a breast cancer diagnosis became "the gift that changed everything," and why she left a 20-year marriage to dive into plant medicine healing. She discusses setting boundaries with family after decades of people-pleasing, her unique jewelry philosophy of making "the value of gold and string equal," and her new venture Shama Shama Productions focused on helping others transform through healing work.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• [09:16] How Scosha's business actually grew during the 2008 financial crisis while others failed
• [35:33] The Brad Pitt endorsement that "blew up" her men's jewelry line
• [41:16] Breast cancer diagnosis: "the gift that changed my life"
• [44:46] Using Landmark Forum to get clarity on leaving her 20-year marriage

What if the biggest thing blocking your success is the 5-inch gap between your ears?

I had one of those conversations that leaves you staring at the wall afterward. Brain rewiring expert Mindi Huebner accidentally started rewiring my relationship with rest and productivity during what was supposed to be a casual catch-up call. She told me about a client who wanted seven figures but could only work 25 hours a week. One 15-minute session later, that limiting belief vanished and she hit a million dollars in three months.

Mindi reveals why mindset and identity are completely different, her 24-karat identity framework, and how to spot when you're stuck in an identity box. You'll discover why rest breeds creativity, simple language swaps that rewire your brain, and how to replace "should have" thinking with future-focused language. If success feels heavy or you're working harder than you should for results, this conversation will shift what you see as possible.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• [2:08] The email that changed everything - Mindi's "rest is lazy" identity breakthrough
• [8:19] Why mindset and identity are different but connected
• [14:47] The 15-minute session that unlocked $1M in 3 months
• [25:16] How to identify when you're stuck in identity boxes
• [31:26] The 24-karat identity framework explained
• [39:10] Casting votes toward your future self through micro actions
• [43:21] Language pattern rewiring: swapping "but" for "and" and "should have" for "from now on"

This week, I'm sitting down with Stacey Owen, founder of Hey Silly Rebel and Sacred Money Archetype coach, who made the most courageous decision of her entrepreneurial journey: selling her thriving marketing agency to step into the unknown.

Stacey shares how my Art of Reinvention program helped her navigate this transition with clarity and courage. She talks about being "in the process of being in process," separating your identity from your business success, and why sometimes the scariest question isn't "Can I do this?" but "Is this possible for me?"

Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur feeling called to your next evolution or someone who knows there's something bigger waiting for you, Stacey's story will remind you that reinvention isn't about starting from scratch. It's about honoring who you're becoming.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• [05:11] Stacey's journey from bullied teenager to serial entrepreneur
• [12:47] The emotional process of deciding to sell a successful business
• [18:04] Dealing with guilt and identity when exiting your "baby"
• [30:50] Why the Art of Reinvention felt like it was "built for me"
• [32:07] Learning to be "in the process of being in process"
