In this episode of Emotionally Booked Out, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really means to build a values-centered business — especially when the world feels like it’s on fire.
We’re talking about why staying silent doesn’t serve you, your dream clients, or the communities you care about. I’m digging into the fears that keep folks quiet (spoiler: it’s not just about cancel culture), and giving you tangible ways to stop watering yourself down in your business.

If you’ve ever wondered how to show up louder, clearer, and more unapologetically you. This episode is your permission slip. I’m wrapping things up with a little challenge to get you moving from intention to action.

Time to be about it.
