273: “This is a together kind of thing. I say that 800 times a day and yet here I was doing it alone. And, at the time I had a team and, I had backend support, but not mojo support and not strategy support.” - Abbi Miller 

If you’ve ever wondered why business advice feels like it was made for childless tech bros… spoiler alert: it probably was. In this episode, Chelsea and WorkWomb founder Abbi Miller get real about building businesses that actually fit your life — kids, naps, messy buns full of dry shampoo and all. 

Episode themes:

• The systems we operate in weren’t built with women in mind; let’s stop twisting ourselves to fit them.
• Motherhood cracked me open in ways that made me rethink everything about how I work.
• If you build your business without considering your energy, you're building a burnout machine.
• I wasn’t looking for another productivity hack — I needed a whole new rhythm.
• Your business should work with your body, not against it.

This episode is your friendly reminder to stop trying to squeeze your life into someone else’s business blueprint. Take a breath, trust your rhythm, and remember: building your OWN business YOUR way isn’t selfish; it’s the revolution we need (now more than ever).

272: The next time you walk through your favorite matcha cafe, see how you can emulate pieces of it in your online business.

Use the simple menu, with just 4 items, to inspire your offer suite.

Take in the physical space, filled with imperfect pottery and lush plants, to emulate the aesthetic in your next sales page, graphics, or email banner.

Study how the barista shares info, like where the matcha came from (directly from a five-generation Japanese tea farm in Japan - duh!), to tell stories about your business and offers.

And never stop sharing your work - just like this matcha cafe in NYC doesn't stop sharing its simple menu and matcha lore in fear of "being annoying."

If a cafe sells the same thing every day, year after year, decade after decade, why can't you do the same?

This quick episode is meant to inspire you to reimagine how a simple business can become the hottest thing since... well, matcha lattes.

 271: “I just can't see life without me being me, and that requires me to be okay with the possibility of disappointing someone or losing friends or being seen as odd or different.” - Mari Roberts 

In a world that runs on chaos, disconnection, and speed, how radical would it be to slow down, tune into your senses, and understand the language of your intuition? Chelsea and psychic energy healer Mari Roberts spill the tea on clearing bad juju, trusting your spidey senses, and why you don't need a crystal collection the size of Costco to shift your energy. 

Snippets from the episode:

• Clearing energy isn’t about drama — sometimes it’s just ringing a tiny bell and setting the intention.
• You don’t need a six-step ritual; even clapping your hands can shift the vibe.
• I get this little pressure in my head — that’s my sign things are moving. Your sign might be something totally different.
• Stop overthinking. Your body already knows when something’s off.
• Energy healing is less about fancy tools and more about tuning in and trusting yourself.

Ready to stop second-guessing and start trusting that inner GPS? This episode is your permission slip to ditch the overcomplicated rituals and get back to basics: your energy, your intention, your power. Sage bundles optional.

270: “In trying to go faster, we bypass embodying the skill. We are slowly decaying our critical thinking.” - Chelsea Riffe

AI was supposed to make us superhumans, right? Faster, smarter, wiser than Buddha? Instead... we're all out here copy-pasting ourselves into oblivion. In this fiery solo ep, Chelsea pulls the curtain back on AI's fascinating paradox: are we actually getting smarter… or will we be potato-brained zombies in the near future?

Snippets from the episode:

• I fully get why we wanna move faster; capitalism is running through my veins too, but… are we forgetting how to think?
• Copy might sell your program, but if your skills can’t back it up, your clients will bounce.
• If you're not fact-checking your AI outputs, this is the issue that will destroy our media consumption, because we’ll believe everything on the internet is true, no matter where it came from.
• We don't need another perfectly polished sales page written by a robot. We need YOU. Messy, weird, freaky deaky you.
• The real flex in 2025? Having human reactions, a POV and something to say from your lived experience.

Chelsea reminds us that critical thinking, human connection, and genuine life experience are going to be the most valuable currencies of the next decade. Sounding smart is one thing. Embodying your experience is another. If you're outsourcing your whole brain to ChatGPT... it might be time for an internal reboot.

269: “Make it easy for interesting people to find you.” - Chelsea Riffe 

In this episode, Chelsea shares the behind-the-scenes story of how one podcast interview changed her entire business trajectory. She unpacks the power of proximity, how to get into the right rooms, and the real art of visibility that leads to booked-out services and dream collaborations.

Snippets from the episode: 

• This one interview alone got me 500 new followers, a one-on-one roster booked out for six months… People stayed in my world for over four years because of one podcast interview.
• We’re not here to just operate with people chasing views and vanity. When you’re putting yourself in someone else’s orbit, you’re doing it because you’re aligned—values, vision, and vibe.
• If you’re not consuming someone’s content on a pretty regular basis, the pitch is going to be harder for you. Do your homework.
• Proximity creates familiarity. Familiarity builds trust. Trust opens doors.
• This isn't just about networking—it’s about creating actual relationships that open portals, not just doors.

This episode is your permission slip to stop chasing random likes and start curating your own corner of the internet where visibility leads to actual opportunities (and maybe a few dream DMs). Let’s orbit intentionally, yeah?

267: “It all has to be in alignment. I have to be living very honestly in order to do my most honest work. And honesty is a fundamental requirement for the work that I do. I find that if I'm not living honestly, and it doesn't have to be a hundred percent, if I'm not living honestly in ways that are actually very important, I actually can't show up for my work in the way that I need to.” ~ Africa Brooke

This soul-baring conversation between Chelsea and Africa dives deep into self-censorship, shadow work, heartbreak, and the raw journey of sobriety. Together, they explore how our patterns in love and life reveal the unhealed parts of ourselves - the ones we try to tame, cage up, and discard. Yet the truth is: owning and integrating these parts and reclaiming our voice is a revolutionary act. Listen closely.

Africa is a Zimbabwean-born consultant, developmental coach, speaker, and author of "The Third Perspective: Brave Expression in The Age of Intolerance." She is known for her work in overcoming self-sabotage and self-censorship. She hosts “Beyond the Self” and “Unthinkable Thoughts,” and is a frequent guest on TV, podcasts, and radio. This is an ep you don't want to miss!

• “What happens when we believe that there's a higher cost to telling the truth than to pretending?”
• “I decided to suffer out loud, and that was going against so many rules... I was just speaking into the void.”
• “I would choose people that I perceive to be lesser than me in some way, so that I get to be the superior one in the relationship... but it’s me they’re showing me.”
• “Instead of chasing the new self-concept of ‘I’m a good person,’ I had to accept all the shadowy components of myself and humanize myself.”
• “Be okay with talking about your interests... because that’s what makes it erotic. That’s what creates magnetism.”

Chelsea & Africa remind us the path to empowered relationships and aligned work begins with radical truth-telling - to ourselves first.

266: “I used to have a very toxic relationship with work. Then I realized—I don’t have to work. Who said I have to work? I choose to play instead.” - Klara Hascakova

In this episode, Chelsea and Klara Hascakova explore the concept of "Antichrist Consciousness" (eek! provoking, but listen to the ep for an explanataion) and how collective thought patterns shape personal identity. Are we all really one? They discuss the impact of societal conditioning, the power of gamifying daily life, and why thinking about work and discipline differently can lead to a more fulfilling and energized, zesty existence.

• “It’s a collection of various collective consciousnesses that one individual is tapping into at any given moment.”
• “I used to have a very toxic relationship with work. Then I realized—I don’t have to work. Who said I have to work? I choose to play instead.”
• "The more energy you have, the more you can create your own reality. When you're drained, you default to following other people’s rules. But when you have energy, you feel bold enough to make things up as you go.”
• “I choose to have a playful attitude and I’m gamifying all my tasks so life feels fun and exciting, even when I do daily life stuff.”
• “If you outsource too much, you can lose touch with reality. One man I know outsourced everything, and his business started crumbling because he was too disconnected."
• “We don’t have to change the current systems. It’s more constructive to design your own system within them, one that works for you and keeps you energized.”
  
  
  

This episode is an invitation to rethink the way we navigate work, identity, and play. You don’t have to work 9-5, grind your way to the top, or do anything the way other people say to. Whether it's shifting your mindset, questioning outdated societal narratives, or gamifying your daily tasks like a game of Mario Kart, Klára and Chelsea encourage listeners to scuba dive into self-inquiry and personal experimentation to create a life that feels truly aligned.

265: "I came to a point of realization that everything here is made up. And why I couldn't be just another human being that is going to make something up? I have this audacity within me...I'm very courageous. I love to experiment and see if it's gonna work out. And so far, so good. I feel very supported in these bold choices." 

Klara Hascakova is a systems designer for geniuses, innovator, Name Patterns expert, and 5/1 Oxford-educated Reflector helping people gamify their lives, play with consciousness and operate outside of traditional conditioning.

In this episode, Chelsea and Klara dive into the power of name patterns, why identity is more flexible than we think, how to gamify everything in life, and how designing personal systems can put you in an energetic surplus.

Klara shares how changing her name for four years reshaped her self-perception, why she believes everything in life is made up, and how embracing bold experimentation can lead to radical freedom. Talk about AUDACITY!

Snippets from the episode:

• "Identity is a flexible thing. We have way more control over it than we think."
• "If you outsource too much, you can lose touch with reality. "
• "The dominant systems we operate in were not designed for women's bodies. We need to learn how to move within them in a way that actually supports us."
• "I design my own systems—from the way I eat to the way I run my business—so they energize me instead of draining me."
• "I literally made it up. Everything here is made up. So why couldn’t I be just another human being who makes something up?"

264: "“You believe in that shit?!” my date blurted out, eyebrows furrowing in disbelief. The cat was out of the bag: I was one of THOSE girls."

LADIES - why the hell are men so triggered by astrology???

I enlisted the help of on an astrologer who married a scientist to help me answer this question: Jaz Borri.

Pssst - having these conversations is exactly how you take down the patriarchy... one witchy yap sesh at a time ;)

This podcast is repurposed from my Substack: Slight Turbulence. Check it out!

Did ya know... this isn’t the first time Jaz and I fell into a conversational whirlwind. Catch her on this ep of In My Non-Expert Opinion from 2023.
