The Affluent CEO Show: She didn't build the wrong life. She just built it as the wrong woman.

In this episode, Yuliana sits down with Kristin-Marie, founder of KMP Consulting and fractional COO, to talk about what really scales a business—and what quietly breaks it. From building Goldman-level operations inside growing companies to navigating a rare, aggressive breast cancer diagnosis, KP shares how systems, leadership, and legacy all collide.

You’ll hear:

• Why most founders stay “indispensable” and accidentally cap their own growth
• The hidden cost of avoiding your numbers—and how simple dashboards change everything
• How Christine rebuilt her business mid-chemo and finally stepped out from behind her clients
• What it means to lead “from any seat” and ask for help without losing your power
• The reminder every woman leader needs: too late does not exist if you’re still breathing

In this episode of The Affluent CEO Show, Yuliana sits down with relationship coach Rachel Rose to talk about what it really means for high-achieving women to be met in love — without shrinking, settling, or sacrificing their ambition.

Rachel shares her story of calling off an “ideal on paper” engagement, redefining her work, and claiming a new standard of romantic abundance rooted in feminine power, authenticity, and self-worth.

🔑 In this episode, we explore:

• Why “non-toxic” and “okay on paper” still isn’t true alignment
• How high-achieving women unconsciously over-lean into masculine energy
• What it means to date your worth, not your wound and call in a provider-style, emotionally attuned partner
• How authentic relationships become a catalyst for wealth, purpose, and expansion

In this soulful conversation, Yuliana sits down with global change expert, author, and speaker Ariane de Bonvoisin to unpack what it really takes to navigate life transitions — from leaving a prestigious corporate career and breaking off an engagement, to building a purpose-led body of work grounded in service, intuition, and spirit.

From New York City to Sydney, Switzerland, and Cape Town, Ariane has lived as a true “global soul.” After years of doing what was expected — climbing the corporate ladder, leading a $500M venture fund, collecting all the right titles — her inner life kept whispering: “This ladder isn’t yours.” That whisper turned into a wake-up call that changed everything.

In this episode, Ariane shares powerful insights from interviewing over 1,000 people for her book The First 30 Days and distills what makes some people truly good at change. She reveals the “change guarantee,” why your body is the most honest advisor you have, and how your spiritual life is not separate from your role as a CEO, founder, or leader — it’s the next frontier of leadership.

If you’ve ever felt the inner nudge to leave what looks “successful” on the outside, or you’re navigating a big personal or professional transition, this conversation will land like a deep exhale.

In this episode of The Affluent CEO Show, host Yuliana Francie sits down with Paige Arnof-Fenn, the powerhouse behind Mavens & Moguls, a global branding and marketing firm helping companies find the right words and images to tell their story — and sell faster.

Together, they dive deep into one of the most underestimated success secrets in business: your personal brand.

From her early days leading marketing at giants like Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble to launching her own firm post-9/11, Paige shares powerful lessons every entrepreneur needs to hear — especially in a world where your digital presence is your first impression.

💎 In this conversation, you’ll discover:

• Why your story is your strongest business asset — and how to tell it authentically.
• The LinkedIn essentials that instantly boost your credibility.
• How to avoid the “generic AI trap” and stand out in a sea of sameness.
• Why saying no to misaligned clients opens the door to true abundance and alignment.
• The golden rule of branding: consistency builds trust — and trust builds empires.

With her signature warmth and wit, Yuliana also shares a relatable story about using LinkedIn for a little “personal due diligence” — proving that authenticity and awareness matter in every relationship, business or personal.

In this heart-opening and deeply conscious conversation, Yuliana sits down with Cathy Dimarchos, founder of Solutions2You, a social enterprise that’s redefining what it means to build a business with purpose, ethics, and humanity.

Cathy shares how her 40-year background in finance and psychotherapy led her to create a movement that merges profitability with positive social impact. Through her work in Africa, from financial literacy and leadership programs in Tanzania and Malawi to empowering youth to become change-makers, she demonstrates how one person’s vision can create a global ripple effect.

Together, Yuliana and Cathy explore the essence of legacy, integrity, and conscious leadership — and what it truly takes to build a business that nourishes both the soul and society. They unpack powerful truths around success, ego, and identity, revealing why letting go of who we were told to be is the real key to becoming who we are meant to be.

In this inspiring episode, Yuliana sits down with Emma Lovell, the Blaisure Coach—a woman redefining what it means to blend business, leisure, and self-care into one harmonious life.

Emma’s story began 15 years ago when a back injury became the catalyst for change. Determined to design life on her own terms, she launched her business at just 22 and made a commitment to never give up her love of travel. What started as a dream of freedom evolved into a philosophy—and a movement—she now calls Blaisure: the art of merging business, leisure, and self-care so you can live a life you love now, not “someday.”

Together, Yuliana and Emma unpack what it really means to work from anywhere while staying grounded in wellbeing. They discuss:

• The myth of work-life balance (and why Emma prefers harmony).
• How multiple income streams can create more freedom and flow.
• The mindset shift from earning your rest to choosing your rest.
• Why receiving abundance often feels uncomfortable for high-achieving women.
• The magic of retreats—and how time, space, and intention can change your life.

Emma also shares her approach to creating profitable, soul-aligned retreats through her company Rest & Receive, helping others blend travel, transformation, and business in ways that are truly sustainable.

Her closing message is one every entrepreneur needs to hear:

In this episode of The Affluent CEO Show, I sit down with the inspiring Melissa Schneider, founder of Home Innovation, who shares her powerful journey of reinvention—from yoga teacher to interior designer and home renovator.

Melissa opens up about the pivotal moment during COVID when her thriving yoga studio came to a halt, forcing her to pivot into an entirely new field. What started as flipping homes alongside her husband turned into a passion-fueled design business that now blends creativity, intuition, and the art of helping people transform their living spaces.

We dive into:
 ✨ How her yoga background continues to shape the way she connects with clients, builds trust, and navigates challenges.
 ✨ The biggest lessons she learned when a $10,000 mistake nearly made her give up—and why she now calls it one of her greatest blessings.
 ✨ The dance between logic and intuition in business decisions—and why ignoring intuition often comes at a cost.
 ✨ How Melissa weaves spirituality unapologetically into her business culture, including grounding rituals and meditation practices with her team.
 ✨ Why she believes true leadership comes from aligning with soul purpose and bringing out the best in others.

Melissa leaves us with a beautiful reminder: “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt.

This conversation is both grounding and inspiring—a must-listen if you’re navigating your own “big turn” and seeking courage to follow your intuition in business and life.

In this episode, I sit down with Isabella Loneragan, a powerhouse in the skin health space whose journey proves that passion, persistence, and practice can transform not just a career—but lives. 

Isabella started in 2007 as a mature-age beauty student in South Africa, running facials from a spare room in her home. Her curiosity and love for skin led her into the world of dermatology, where she spent five years learning directly in consulting rooms alongside top doctors. While she absorbed priceless knowledge, she realized the medical model felt too transactional—patients left with prescriptions but not the connection or care they craved. 

That insight became the foundation for her first business, The Dermal Diary. With a reputation for results, clients quickly followed her, and soon she was treating serious skin conditions through touch-based therapies rather than medication. Her journey took her to Paris, where she mastered advanced buccal facial massage, later trademarking her own method, The Intrinsic Facial. 

Today, Isabella runs clinics in Sydney and Bowral, leads a thriving skincare brand, and trains therapists worldwide through her education programs. She has taught over 300 practitioners to guide them on the path to mastery. 

Beyond technique, Isabella opens up about mindset, imposter syndrome, and the reality of carrying the financial weight of her family while working alongside her husband. She shares how clear roles, mutual respect, and low ego make their partnership thrive—both in business and at home. 

Her story is one of resilience, reinvention, and relentless upskilling. Whether she’s reducing acne for a model whose career depends on it or empowering a therapist to master her signature facial, Isabella’s mission is clear: to connect, to heal, and to help others believe in themselves.

Bernadette is a Sydney-based buyer’s agent on a mission to make professional support accessible beyond the ultra-premium end of town.

In this episode 

• Why buyer’s agents exist (and who they really help)—and why sellers shouldn’t be the only ones with professional representation.
• Emotions vs. numbers: how to value a property, set a clear “tap-out” point, and avoid the “emotional tax.”
• Owner-occupier vs. investor decisions: different lenses, different limits.
• Sydney market realities: construction quality, strata risks, and why a strong team matters.

In this episode of The Affluent CEO Show, Yuliana sits down with Cassandra Cadorin, award-winning business operator and founder of Can Ticket App, a revolutionary system designed to help businesses stop leaking profit through inefficient workflows. 

Cassandra brings nearly two decades of global marketing agency experience and shares how burnout, time leakage, and endless tech tools inspired her to create a smarter way to manage operations. She dives deep into: 

• The hidden profit leaks in your business—why software subscriptions and scattered systems cost more than you realise.
• Burnout vs. balance, why scaling without scalable systems leads to collapse, not growth.
• Time tracking truths, the unpopular opinion that measuring time isn’t just about accountability, but profitability.
• The first step to fixing inefficiency, how analysing your P&L can uncover thousands in wasted spend.
• Her journey from “accidental entrepreneur” to pitching Can Ticket in Paris, winning global attention, and now preparing to present to 3,000 agencies in the Philippines.

Cassandra also redefines soulful success, sharing how building a profitable and values-driven company allows her to leave work early, pick up her son for ice cream, and provide for not just her 12 staff but their families as well.

If you’ve ever felt buried under too many tools, burned out from inefficiency, or frustrated by profit that doesn’t match your effort, this episode will open your eyes to where your business may be quietly bleeding money, and how to stop it.
