About Alessandra Caprice:

Alessandra Caprice is an Energetic Business Mastery Coach who has founded a unique combination of business strategy and breathwork in her Money Breathwork method. She is a former private practice psychotherapist who, after 3 years as an online business strategist for mentors, coaches, changemakers, and healers, realized there was something missing from the business growth and development sector. She believes that in order to advance in business and actually sustain big money months, own their bigness, and make more money, women need to heal their limiting beliefs and money traumas and take off their, what she calls, Armors of Smallness™ while simultaneously expanding into what is possible. She is paving the way for the use of breathwork as a business expansion tool, being one of the first to do so. 
She grew her online coaching business to multi-6-figures while having children (3 active kids under 6 and currently pregnant with their fourth) with her husband and prioritizing family life. They currently live in Arizona, and they travel as often as they can.

"Grief is something that we just heal and get over. We hold it, and then we can move and expand. This modality really gives you that opportunity to hold life, to heal the things you need to heal, to function." - Alessandra Caprice

"We feel safe in being small and not being seen or being at the level where we are at because that's ‘safe’ and getting bigger is ‘unsafe.’ It's scary, but being bigger is going to activate you. It's going to be exciting." - Alessandra Caprice

So, you get a lot of candidates that are good quality candidates and you can be matched with the right person.” - Heidi DeCoux

 “We tend to like people that are like us. Those are not necessarily our best employees. In fact, oftentimes they're not— because we don't actually need another us. We need somebody that compliments us and that brings other things to the table. We already have our energy and bring our magic. We need people to bring THEIR magic. And so it's about two puzzle pieces that look very different. They're shaped very differently, but they sink in together.” - Heidi DeCoux

Molly Keyser:

Molly’s first business was a photography studio. It was a massive success, and other photographers started asking her how she did it, so she decided to package her knowledge into digital products. Those digital products turned into a $2 million-per-year business, and people started asking her how she did that. Today, Molly helps business owners add passive digital products to their businesses so they can stop trading their time for money and help even more people by sharing their knowledge with the world! Molly currently lives in New Mexico with her husband Aaron and dog Franklin. You can often find them camping in the mountains, road-tripping the southwest, or traveling Europe.

I've heard a lot of other creators talking about it, so I definitely don't take credit for the invention or anything, but it just really makes a lot of sense. Essentially, what you're doing is using the fact that when people pay attention, they pay attention, which does work.” - Molly Keyser 
“If the videos are easy to consume and the homework is easy to do, then, they're more likely to do the challenge. When they actually do the challenge, they're going to get results, be happy, and they're going to end up buying the thing that you're pitching at the end.” - Molly Keyser 
“I definitely think it's worth the money that people are spending. And ultimately, I also know that because people put that money down, they're more likely to actually do the work.” - Molly Keyser 
“You will never want to be unfair to people who've already paid, because that never feels good.” - Molly Keyser 
“If you want handholding, coaching, scripts, templates, keep watching and you can see what is all inside my program.” - Molly Keyser
