Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has been more than a series of sold-out shows—it’s become a cultural phenomenon that has united millions around the world. In this episode, titled "It's Not A Cult, It's A Community: My Reflection of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour," we dive deep into the magnetic power of Taylor Swift and how her authenticity has fostered one of the most connected and supportive fan communities ever seen. Swifties aren’t a cult—they’re a global network of individuals who have found common ground in Taylor’s vulnerability, storytelling, and unshakable gratitude for her fans. 

On stage and online, Taylor radiates love, humility, and an almost unmatched ability to make everyone feel seen. From her heartfelt interactions on social media to the way she pours her soul into every performance, Taylor has built a safe space where fans can celebrate their individuality while feeling part of something bigger. 

I explore how her dedication to honesty and connection has transcended the traditional artist-fan dynamic, creating a community rooted in shared experiences and mutual respect. Whether you’re a die-hard Swiftie or a curious observer, this episode sheds light on why Taylor’s impact goes far beyond the music—it’s about the love, gratitude, and authenticity that she embodies in every interaction.

When October 2024 began I just kept getting this message that it was all going to be about connection. So I took it and ran with it. And the theme continued to roll through this month in ways that I did not anticipate and what I received in return was nothing like what I expected but everything that I knew was waiting for me. 

Finding the balance between connecting with others and connecting with myself is hard. What used to serve me no longer does. And what used to never serve me now fills me up like no other. 

So, the name of the game was Connection. And I am going to have to say it was pure magic both in business and in my personal life. 

Now... I am curious what the theme of November will be! #StayTuned

Oh my goodness. What a journey this wild rollercoaster ride is of being an entrepreneur.

I just came out of another "Dark Night of The Soul" phase which SO MUCH feels like burnout when I am in it. But then on the other side I am a completely different person and my downloads just continue to get so much more clear.

I am never the same person AFTER one of these experiences. And honestly, the last year I've got through a few of these 'pin holes' and it's been expansive and exhausting all at the same time.

In this episode I share with you what just went on for me as well as I chit chat about all the other things that relate to it.

AND of course I do a little plug for Living In Balance Seminars as I could not go through these experiences without their support getting me to the other side and moving forward rather than going backwards. 🩵

Also, the CDM Summit is coming up fast on September 17 & 18th and you should come if you are local to Vancouver, BC and surrounding area!
