Founded with Soul

What happens when you wake up at 29 and realize you don’t know who you are?

In this episode of Founded with Soul, Alana sits down with Kimberly Adams, owner of Kimberly Rebekah Hair in Columbus, Ohio, to talk about walking away from corporate PR and rebuilding her life around a childhood love of hair.

After years of climbing the corporate ladder, Kimberly realized she was trading “apples for oranges” — different jobs, same misalignment

Burned out, anxious, and questioning whether she could survive 40 more years of work that didn’t feel aligned, she made the decision at 30 to choose herself.

She quit.
She enrolled in cosmetology school.
And she began building something of her own.

Today, Kimberly’s work goes far beyond hair. Through holistic scalp care, head spa services, extensions, and hair loss solutions, she helps women reconnect with their confidence — not just cosmetically, but energetically. Her journey is a reminder that success isn’t about climbing faster. It’s about coming home to yourself.

This episode explores identity shifts, financial fear, self-trust, nervous system regulation, and what it really takes to build a business rooted in alignment instead of hustle.

• Outgrowing the “good girl” path and corporate conditioning
• Starting over at 30 — and betting on yourself anyway
• Building a service-based business from the ground up
• Redefining success as rest, regulation, and self-trust

Kimberly Adams is a hairstylist and holistic hair wellness practitioner based in Columbus, Ohio. She specializes in head spa services, extensions, and hair loss support — blending beauty with nervous system care and confidence restoration.

What happens when you build the “successful” business… and still feel exhausted, disconnected, and unfulfilled?

In this episode of Founded with Soul, Alana sits down with Stephanie Riel — former marketing agency owner turned intuitive mentor, somatic guide, and wellness practitioner — to talk about burnout, identity, and the courage it takes to walk away from a life that looks good on paper but doesn’t feel aligned.

Stephanie shares her journey from high-achieving entrepreneur and agency founder to someone who now helps others reconnect with their bodies, intuition, and authentic path. This conversation explores the pressure to prove your worth through productivity, the body’s warning signs of burnout, and how rest, somatic work, and spiritual awareness can lead to a completely different definition of success.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why doesn’t this success feel like freedom?” — this episode is for you.

• Stephanie’s path from marketing agency owner to intuitive mentor
• Living in constant hustle while trying to prove self-worth through work
• The physical and emotional signs of burnout she ignored
• Realizing success didn’t equal freedom or alignment
• Closing a thriving business and grieving the identity shift
• How meditation, somatic healing, and nervous system work changed everything
• Learning to rest without guilt and embrace slower seasons
• Redefining success as authenticity, embodiment, and inner freedom

Stephanie Riel is an intuitive mentor, somatic and wellness guide, and former brand strategist with 15+ years of experience building businesses and brands. After experiencing severe burnout, she shifted from agency life into work that blends strategy, intuition, nervous system healing, sound, yoga, and embodied leadership. She now supports entrepreneurs and leaders in creating aligned, authentic lives and businesses.

In this episode of Founded with Soul, Alana sits down with Kelly Morgan, a former nurse turned gym owner, to talk about reinvention, resilience, and what it really takes to change your life — at any stage.

Kelly shares her journey from a stable career in nursing to entrepreneurship, offering an honest look at the mindset shifts, discipline, and self-trust required to step outside of comfort and build something of your own. This conversation isn’t about overnight success or chasing trends — it’s about becoming the kind of person who doesn’t quit when things get hard.

Together, they explore why failure isn’t failure at all, but feedback and learning in real time. Kelly breaks down the difference between wishing for change and actually choosing it, and why taking responsibility for your life is the most empowering move you can make.

This episode is a reminder that you’re allowed to change your mind, rewrite your story, and choose growth — even when it’s uncomfortable. Reinvention isn’t reckless. It’s intentional.

Whether you’re questioning your current path, feeling stuck in something that no longer fits, or standing on the edge of a big decision, this conversation will challenge you to look at what’s possible when you stop waiting for permission.

• Reinventing yourself at any age
• Finding a need and mixing it with your passion
• Why failure is feedback, not a dead end
• The discipline and mindset behind lasting confidence and authenticity
• What entrepreneurship really teaches you about yourself
• Starting and growing a new business
• What it takes to build community and lead

In this powerful episode of Founded with Soul, Alana sits down with Amanda Zeglinski, a former Emirates Flight Attendant and Luxury Jewelry Consultant turned soul-led entrepreneur who completely redefined success for herself and her family of 5.

After years of working in high-end service jobs, navigating burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional exhaustion — all intensified during the pandemic — Amanda reached a breaking point. What followed was an unexpected healing journey that led her out of corporate life, out of the system she no longer resonated with, and into a completely new way of living and working that was concious and sustainable.

Amanda shares how discovering PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy became the catalyst for healing her mental health, reclaiming her body, and awakening a deeper sense of purpose. That single turning point ultimately inspired her family of five to sell their home, leave their careers behind, and move to Costa Rica — site unseen — to build a slower, more conscious life rooted in wellness, freedom, and alignment.

Now living in the jungle just steps from the Pacific Ocean, Amanda runs PEMF Pura Vida, offering healing sessions and supporting practitioners around the world, all while raising her children outside of the traditional system.

This episode is an honest conversation about burnout, nervous system regulation, trusting intuition, stepping out of the Matrix, redefining success, and what’s possible when you stop playing it safe and start listening to what your body and soul are asking for.

• Working in high-performance corporate roles that looked successful but felt empty
• Amanda’s experience with anxiety, depression, and feeling disconnected from herself during the pandemic
• The struggle of raising kids with opposite schedules
• How PEMF therapy supported deep mental, emotional, and physical healing
• Leaving corporate life and walking away from “security”
• Selling everything and moving a family of five to Costa Rica without a backup plan
• Building a soul-led wellness business from scratch
• Creating freedom around time, income, and family life
• Redefining success beyond money, titles, and productivity
• Why your health is the foundation for everything else

Sometimes the breakdown isn’t the end — it’s the initiation. When you slow down, regulate your nervous system, and listen inward, clarity follows. From there, aligned action becomes possible.

In this deeply honest conversation, Kirstyn shares what it really takes to leave corporate, trust divine timing, move through fear, and redefine success on your own terms.
