What happens when you stop separating who you are from what you do and start leading your business from your full identity?

In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with Nathalie Garson, business and leadership mentor and founder of the Global Network for Jewish Women Entrepreneurs and Leaders. After years of success as a business strategist, Nathalie hit burnout and realized her work no longer reflected her purpose. Her story is a powerful reminder that true alignment happens when you bring every part of yourself, your purpose, values, and vision, into your business.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
✨ How Nathalie moved from burnout to alignment by reconnecting with her purpose
✨ Why integrating your personal, spiritual, and professional identities leads to more fulfillment
✨ The difference between being a CEO and being a leader
✨ How to balance masculine and feminine energy in business
✨ The mindset shifts that help you move from competition to collaboration
✨ Practical ways to recognize misalignment and rebuild from authenticity
✨ Why your unique identity is the key to differentiation and joy in business

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your work, struggled with comparison, or wondered how to bring more purpose into your business, this episode will remind you that alignment is not a destination. It’s a practice.

Tune in and learn how to lead with authenticity, connection, and confidence while building a business that reflects your whole self.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re constantly racing the clock in your business, this episode will help you finally understand why. I break down the real source of that pressure and show you how clarity, not more hours, is what actually creates ease, momentum, and focus. When you know exactly where you’re going and how to get there, your to-do list stops feeling like a runaway train and starts feeling like a path you’re choosing with intention.

You’ll hear powerful stories from real clients who shifted from overwhelm to spaciousness simply by creating a clear, aligned plan. Whether you’re juggling multiple offers, feeling scattered in your marketing, or investing in things that don’t move the needle,  I show you how a simple, values-centered plan becomes the anchor that brings everything into alignment. When your business has direction, you stop spinning and start leading yourself with confidence.

You’ll learn:
✨ Why lack of clarity, not lack of time, keeps you feeling behind
✨ How a clear plan helps you prioritize the right offers and reach the right people
✨ The way structure creates mental spaciousness instead of restriction
✨ How planning helps you save time, money, and energy by making better decisions
✨ Why boundaries become easier when your priorities are defined
✨ How a simple, flexible plan brings confidence, calm, and room to breathe
✨ What becomes possible when you stop reacting and start directing your business with intention

When you trade guessing for clarity, you reclaim your time, your focus, and your power. This episode will help you step out of the swirl and into a business that feels aligned, doable, and deeply supportive of your life.

If you’ve been craving more clarity and flow in your business, this episode is for you. I’m sharing how to turn self-leadership into a strategy so you can create a plan that feels aligned with who you are and what you value. When your business is built from the inside out, strategy stops feeling like pressure and starts feeling like possibility.

You’ll learn how to connect the inner work of self-trust with the outer work of business growth, design a structure that supports your life, and choose marketing that feels natural instead of forced. Because when your plan fits you, it becomes easier to stay consistent, confident, and in control of your results.

You’ll learn:
✨ Why self-leadership must come before strategy for sustainable growth
✨ How to design a plan that reflects your goals, values, and energy
✨ Why structure actually creates more flow, not less
✨ How to set goals that match both your desire and your capacity
✨ Ways to build marketing that feels genuine and connected
✨ Why a strategy built on self-trust feels energizing instead of overwhelming

When you lead yourself well, your business starts to feel steadier, clearer, and more aligned. You’ll stop reacting and start creating with purpose, clarity, and confidence.

If you’re ready to build a strategy that fits you, join me for Strategic Planning for Solopreneurs, my live, hands-on workshop where we’ll design your roadmap for growth and create a business plan that truly supports your life. Save your seat at rachellubchansky.com/strategic-planning

If you’ve been working hard in your business but still feel stuck, this episode is for you. I’m sharing how true success starts with you, not with another strategy, tool, or system. You’ll learn how to strengthen your self-leadership so you can trust yourself, make confident decisions, and create real momentum in your business.

In this empowering conversation, I’ll walk you through what self-leadership really means and how it shapes every part of your growth. You’ll hear how to stop second-guessing, take action even when things feel uncertain, and align your business with your values so it finally feels like your path, not someone else’s.

You’ll learn:
✨ Why no strategy works until you trust yourself to use it
✨ How to build confidence through self-leadership instead of waiting to feel ready
✨ The four traits every self-led business owner practices
✨ Why clarity comes after action and how to move forward without overthinking
✨ How to stop waiting for permission and start leading from your values
✨ Simple steps to strengthen your self-trust and consistency
✨ How your energy and mindset directly shape your business results

When you learn to lead yourself first, everything else in your business becomes easier — your strategy, your systems, and your growth.

Before becoming a business mentor and strategist, I bootstrapped my first company, grew it into a beloved brand, and sold it, all before the age of 31. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the real-world business school I didn’t know I was in and share six timeless lessons every entrepreneur can apply today.

These lessons go beyond tactics, they are about mindset, relationships, and building a business with staying power!

You’ll hear:
✨ Why branding is more than a logo and how it makes you memorable
✨ The myth of “going solo” in solopreneurship (and the support you actually need)
✨ How marketing thrived before social media and what that means for you now
✨ The clarity that comes from tracking your numbers (even the small ones)
✨ The power of owning your legitimacy before anyone else does
✨ How thoughtful customer care becomes your best growth strategy

Whether you’re just starting out or scaling your next big idea, these lessons will give you both encouragement and practical takeaways to help you grow a sustainable, values-driven business.

What happens when you take your most painful experiences and turn them into a movement of healing and hope? In this powerful conversation, Rachel sits down with her friend Dr. Azi Jankovic, educator, speaker, and author of Mental Health Reclaimed.

Diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 17, Azi spent decades navigating a mental health system that treated symptoms but overlooked the whole person. Her journey led to a deeper truth: healing is possible, and it begins from the inside out.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
✨ How Azi moved from silence and stigma to courage and clarity in sharing her story
✨ The moment that transformed her pain into purpose
✨ Why challenging conventional mental health narratives matters
✨ The role of spirituality, science, and self-leadership in healing
✨ How putting yourself first is not selfish but essential for thriving in life and business
✨ The power of sharing your story and voice to impact others

If you’ve ever felt defined by a diagnosis, weighed down by self-doubt, or unsure how your story fits into your business and life, this episode will inspire you to reclaim your voice and step fully into your purpose.
