In this episode of Business Witch, I share the story of how I started my business. I hope it resonates for some of you that need the reminder that your struggles shape the work and that your story is an important thing to share with others.

I share about my diagnosis with a chronic medical condition, being newly diagnosed and ineligible for health insurance. I also spill the tea on the worst job I ever had (that I took because of health insurance). And weave together how finally getting sick of having the Sunday Scaries on Saturday night pushed me to become an entrepreneur and never look back.

I also invite you to join me in an upcoming class series that helps you scale your business in a meaningful and value-aligned way. Sign up below.

I'm thrilled to share something truly close to my heart – my Ethical Sales Incubator. Launching on April 22, 2024, this program is a heartfelt invitation to a journey of sales done differently. I want to reframe the sales process to one that honors every client's space, empowers their choices, and cultivates a connection that’s both authentic and respectful. This isn't just about transactions; it's about transforming how we connect, communicate, and create value together.

In this solo episode, I discuss the delicate balance of power and how to lovingly navigate sales conversations without ever compromising on integrity. No more gaslighting or pressure tactics. Instead, we explore how to welcome potential clients into a space where they feel seen, heard, and valued.

We discuss the pressing need for a cultural paradigm shift away from Western dominance towards embracing indigenous wisdom, in order to tackle global challenges such as the epidemic of loneliness and environmental degradation. Her work offers a pathway for individuals to reconnect with their indigenous roots, fostering healing and connection in our increasingly disconnected world.
