What does it really take to build a business that doesn’t just make money today, but creates impact, freedom, and legacy for years to come?

In this episode, I share the foundational steps every heart-centered, mission-driven entrepreneur needs to design a purposeful, profitable business that truly lasts. This isn’t about quick fixes, chasing the next client, or throwing spaghetti at the wall, it’s about clarity, intention, and alignment.

In this episode:

• Why getting crystal clear on your mission is the first and most important step in building your business.
• How your business model shapes not just how you serve, but how you sustain yourself, your family, and your impact.
• The role of aligned marketing, sales, and delivery in creating momentum without burnout.
• How Human Design and soul work can anchor your business decisions so you stop second-guessing and start leading with confidence.

I recorded this episode fresh off of an emotional, joy-filled conversation with the incredible women inside the Spiritual Business Incubator, and it reminded me exactly why this work matters. When you align your mission, your business model, and your momentum with who you truly are, growth happens faster, easier, and more authentically than you ever imagined.

If you’ve ever felt like your business was chaotic, scattered, or just not clicking, this episode will help you see the path forward with clarity and purpose.

Listen now to Ep. 132 and start building the business (and legacy) you’re truly meant for.

What happens when you finally give yourself permission to step fully into your gifts?

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible ReAnna Romero-Alirez, a 2/4 Generator, women’s wellness guide, and founder of the Embodied Alchemy Collective. ReAnna’s story is one of alignment, courage, and vision coming to life faster than she ever imagined.

In this episode:

What it feels like to discover your human design and see your purpose reflected back at you.

How ReAnna went from dreaming of a women’s community “someday” to launching sold-out events and opening her own wellness center within months.

Why community, friendship, and service are at the heart of her mission, and how that alignment has magnetized the right women to her work.

The messy, real side of entrepreneurship, navigating fears, building structures, and trusting yourself even when the vision feels bigger than you.

This conversation will inspire you to stop waiting for “someday” and start bringing your vision to life now. If you’ve ever doubted whether your dream is possible, ReAnna’s story will remind you that alignment + action is the most powerful combination.

Listen in to hear how ReAnna turned clarity into momentum, and how you can, too.

If your business feels like chaos, too many ideas, too many directions, too many shoulds, this episode is your invitation to breathe, refocus, and create clarity.

I’m sharing how to move beyond chasing the next client or spinning up yet another offer, and instead build a business that feels steady, aligned, and designed for real growth.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why clarity in your marketing, sales, and delivery is the key to lasting success
How to stop spreading yourself thin across too many strategies and opportunities
The difference between aligned action and busy action (and how to know the difference in your body)
A personal story about what happened when I said yes to everything, and how I found focus again

This is not about hustling harder. It’s about consciously designing your business so that every effort supports your long-term vision, your energy, and the mission on your heart.

If you’re ready to trade chaos for clarity, and overwhelm for confidence, this conversation will show you how to step into growth with intention.

This week I’m joined by leadership powerhouse and 1/3 Projector, Kelly Stevens,a woman who “saw” me before we’d even said hello. In this conversation, we talk about what it really takes to lead and live in alignment: the brave unraveling before the rebuild, the courage to choose your own definition of success, and the quiet, sovereign trust in your inner yes.

Kelly spent 15 years shaping high-impact initiatives for chambers, governors, and tech associations, then walked away to create Aligned Society, a community for ambitious women leaders. We talk about the moment Human Design gave her permission to structure her days like a Projector (hello, energy hygiene), and how following her splenic truth has become her sharpest strategic edge.

In this episode:

• Why “balance” is a myth and what to anchor to instead
• The difference between intellectual alignment and embodied alignment
• Seasons, capacity, and building a strategic life plan (not just a business plan)
• Community as a catalyst: being truly seen and seeing others
• Saying a real yes (and the freedom that follows)

If you’ve been defining yourself by old titles, chasing gold stars that no longer light you up, or wondering how to lead without burning out, this episode is your permission slip. Come for the strategies; stay for the soul-level reminder that you’re allowed to build success on your terms.

One of the most important, and overlooked, decisions you’ll ever make in business is choosing the right business model.

Most entrepreneurs don’t. They dive in because they love what they do, they have a gift, or they simply want to help people. But without consciously choosing a business model that’s aligned with your mission, your energy, and your long-term vision, you risk building something that drains you instead of sustains you.

In this episode:
Understand the role your business model plays in your purpose and profitability

Choose a model that aligns with your energy and the way you’re designed to serve

Identify the stage of awareness your clients are in so your offers actually meet their needs

Create a long-term vision that supports both your clients and the life you desire

You can deliver the same outcome through totally different business models, but only one of them is the right fit for you.

Whether you’re a coach, healer, practitioner, or creative entrepreneur, this conversation will help you zoom out, see your business as the puzzle it truly is, and consciously design the pieces so they actually fit together.

It’s time to build a business that serves your clients and your future.

This episode is unlike anything we’ve ever done before, because it’s partially channeled straight from the Akashic Records.

I’m joined by the incredible Jessa Lin Rose (5/1 Manifesting Generator, healer, and Akashic practitioner), and together we dive into a topic that every soul-led entrepreneur needs to master: discernment.

Discernment is not judgment. It’s the art of knowing what is and is not for you. It’s how you tune into your channel, how you separate projections from truth, and how you lead your business (and your life) in alignment with your soul.

In this conversation, Jessa and I explore:
What discernment actually feels like in the body
The difference between projection, judgment, and true knowing
Why speaking your truth is part of discernment in action
How to sit with both your human and higher self when making decisions
Why your unique way of discerning matters more than following any blueprint

This episode is a potent reminder that the clarity you’re seeking isn’t “out there” it’s already within you. Discernment is the frequency that brings your soul and human into harmony, so you can lead, create, and serve from a place of truth.

Grab your journal, open your heart, and let this conversation guide you back to your own knowing.

Every entrepreneur has those moments. You get feedback from someone in a position of authority, scroll past someone else’s success on Instagram, or sit staring at your own plans wondering… Am I really on the right track?

In this episode, I’m sharing a very real story from the editing process of my upcoming book. Even after years of experience and putting my heart and soul into this work, I found myself questioning if I was “doing it right.” The truth is, moments of doubt don’t mean you’re failing. They’re invitations to realign.

Inside this episode:
The 3 things to do when you’re doubting the future of your business
How to filter outside opinions through the lens of your Human Design
Why defining the kind of business you’re building matters more than you think
How to use your emotions as a guide back to clarity and alignment

Your vision is too important to abandon at the first sign of self-doubt. These three steps will help you reconnect to your purpose, strengthen your foundations, and keep moving forward with confidence.

Because the truth is, your business isn’t just about what you’re creating, it’s about who you’re becoming in the process.

Community is not a business strategy, it’s a heartbeat.

In this episode, I’m chatting with Inbal Claudio, a 5/1 Projector, community curator, and membership mentor who has built both online and in-person spaces where women don’t just connect… they thrive.

From launching her candle company to creating Like-Minded Collective and now hosting in-person events and coworking spaces, Inbal has mastered the art of bringing people together in a way that feels genuine, warm, and deeply impactful.

In this episode:

• The true difference between a community and a membership (and why you need both)
• How to create spaces where women feel seen, heard, and celebrated
• Why starting small and nurturing early members leads to long-term loyalty
• The secret to balancing impact with sustainable income
• How to design memberships that grow with you instead of draining your energy

If you’ve ever dreamed of building a membership or community that feels alive, inspiring, and aligned, this episode is your permission slip and playbook.

I’ll be honest with you  I wasn’t planning on recording this episode. The idea dropped in while I was driving to the library the day before school started, and I knew this was the message you needed right now.

Feeling confident about the financial future of your business isn’t always easy. Life throws curveballs. Plans change. For me, that looked like moving across the state, having my kids home all summer, and realizing we needed to slow down in ways I hadn’t expected.

But here’s the thing: true confidence with money doesn’t come from having everything go perfectly. It comes from building the inner trust and the external structures that hold you steady when things don’t go as planned.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• The real story of what shifted for my family this summer and what it taught me about money
• How to create financial structures that give you stability without killing your freedom
• The role your Human Design plays in building a business that feels safe and aligned
• Why confidence isn’t about working harder, it’s about designing on purpose

This is your reminder that your business isn’t just about making money. It’s about creating stability, freedom, and a life you actually enjoy living. And that starts with knowing your financial future is secure.

The moment you discover who you really are… everything changes.

When you stop chasing other people’s blueprints and start leaning fully into your own strengths, you unlock a level of leadership — and life — you didn’t know was possible.
