Are empaths and narcissists more closely linked than we realized? The truth is we empaths share some traits and characteristics with narcissists. We've just chosen different ways to explore or deny our self-worth and our wounding. 

In this episode, Aasha, a Certified Emotional & Energetics Intelligence Facilitator and Keynote Speaker, joins me to talk about the narcissist empath dynamic, how to heal the deep inner relationships wound through energy, and be more emotionally available for yourself.

Aasha works with clients from Self-Worth all the way to the Top 1% and high-achievers. She has been an entrepreneur & consultant for over 15 years, a certified trauma Specialist, and a few other healing modalities. Her approach is down-to-earth, and her main goal in life is to bring energy work to the masses to stop trauma bonding with relationships, addiction (to anything) and money.

Is sales and marketing a source of anxiety for you? Are you wondering why what you are taught is not working for your business? 

In this episode, I challenge the traditional sales funnel approach and explore a more empowering perspective. Instead of focusing on attracting, nurturing, and converting, systems and metrics, you are invited to consider a different paradigm that emphasizes communication, staying top of mind, and meaningful conversations.

Join me on this journey as I challenge the norms and embrace a more heartfelt and intuitive approach to sales and marketing. Together, we can redefine success on our own terms and create a business world that honors our deep sensitivity and empathic nature.

Tune in to this episode and let's embark on a path that empowers, liberates, and celebrates the beautiful diversity within each of us. Welcome to a new way of doing business.

Highlights of this episode:

• Three big steps of sales and marketing.
• Society's preconceived ideas of success.
• The need for meaning, connection, and a little bit of magic.
• Be less on numbers and more on communication.
• Have clear and strong brand messaging.
• Business is about connection and conversation.

Hey there! Welcome to the Ambitious Empath Show. Today, I want to get personal and share my journey with you. So grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and let's dive in!

When I started as an emotional coach for ambitious empaths, I thought I had it all figured out. But life had other plans. I discovered a deep passion for copywriting and connecting through words. It was like finding the missing piece of a puzzle I didn't even know was incomplete.

Making the decision to shift my business direction wasn't easy. It meant leaving the familiar and stepping into the unknown. Doubts crept in, but I knew I had to honor my intuition and follow this new path.

Here's what I've learned: entrepreneurship is a journey of self-discovery. It's about listening to your inner voice and embracing change, even when it's scary. Trust the process and believe in your unique path.

So, ambitious empaths, take your time. Rest, reflect, and listen to your heart. Your journey is yours alone, and it's okay to change direction. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace as you navigate this entrepreneurial adventure.

In this episode, I'll share my insights and experiences, exploring the power of intuition and authenticity. Let's embrace this journey together, step by step, and create a life and career that truly lights us up.

I'm excited to have you here. So let's dive in and connect on a deeper level.

Highlights of this episode:

• Making big business shifts.
• The peace and ease of following intuition.
• The reason why I chose copywriting.
• Entrepreneurship is a path to self-discovery.
• Embracing change your way.

Everyone has difficult circumstances to navigate next to their business, whether it is your empath nature, introversion, divorce, chronic illness, or anything in between. Achieving financial success while honoring those circumstances and your lifestyle takes more than some gimmicks and tricks. So how do you manage that? How to build a successful business with integrity with yourself?

Maggie grew up in Singapore and is based in Amsterdam, where you can find her chilling on the Dutch canals on her boat, playing video games, or walking her dog, Frodo.
