From $10K pipe dreams to apps you can build in 10 minutes — discover vibe coding and why it matters for your business.

In this episode of Heart-Led CEO, Anacani Walters breaks down the revolutionary trend of vibe coding — a conversational way of guiding AI to create functional apps in minutes, no coding required.

She shares her personal story of dreaming about apps that once cost thousands, how vibe coding changes the game, and why this trend is already reshaping businesses. With real-world stats, niche-specific examples, and a simple quick-win exercise, this episode is designed to spark possibility and move you from survival mode to CEO mode.

💡 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What vibe coding actually is (and where it came from)
• Why it matters: speed, accessibility, and market adoption stats
• The messy side: tech debt and why it’s not production-ready for big systems
• Niche examples for birthworkers, energy healers, SUP/water instructors, wellness coaches, and military spouses/moms
• A simple exercise to brainstorm your first app idea today

✨ Action Step: Take 5 minutes today and answer this question in your journal or notes app: 👉 If I had an app in my pocket that could take one weight off my shoulders (or solve one problem for my clients), what would it be?

That’s it. No coding, no fancy tech — just write it down. That idea is your starting point.
