Ep. 97 What if sales didn’t have to feel pushy, fake, or overwhelming? Welcome to the aligned approach you’ve been waiting for. Merchon Hargrave sits down with ethical sales coach and content creator Allie Fell, who’s redefining what it means to sell with soul. After vibing on Threads over their shared love for aligned business, the two connect in this powerful convo to unpack the sticky, “ick” feelings so many entrepreneurs associate with sales—and how to ditch them for good.

Allie Fell is a business strategist, ethical sales coach, and the visionary behind Angelical Sales—a movement helping creative and soulful entrepreneurs sell in a way that feels good, honest, and wildly effective. A former corporate girlie turned entrepreneur, she brings both real-world experience and a radically human approach to her work. As a neurodivergent business owner with ADHD, she’s passionate about building sales strategies that actually work with your brain. She’s also the founder of Allied Creative Solutions, where she supports small businesses with social media growth.

Together, Merchon and Allie explore what it means to build confidence, handle rejection without losing momentum, and find your people—the ones who get you and want what you’re offering. From neurodivergent creativity to authentic messaging, this episode is a must-listen for anyone craving a more human-centered approach to business growth.

💡 Key Takeaways:

🗣️ Notable Quotes from Allie Fell:

"Build a business that works with your brain and not against it.""The more you do something, the more you have confidence in it.""Don't create unnecessary nos that ruin your confidence.""Everyone's not for me either, and that's okay.""Surround yourself with what you want to be versus the ick."

Ep. 96 What would you speak about for 25 hours straight? That question hit me hard.

In this episode of High Vibe Table Talks, I reflect on Senator Cory Booker’s record-breaking 25-hour speech—and what it teaches us about relentless action. Whether you're navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship or finding your voice in a noisy world, this is your sign to push past perfectionism and step fully into your power.

📣 I break down how Booker's boldness, persistence, and community-driven spirit can fuel your own mission. Because here’s the truth: if your message matters, discomfort is part of the process. But you don’t have to do it alone.

Let’s talk about how to stay aligned, speak your truth, and show up—even when it’s hard. Because your voice, your story, and your why are more powerful than you think.
