  • 5 life-changing lessons I learned in 2022

    Send a text

    Hello, amazing one! Welcome back to the Empowered Edupreneur podcast.

    Today I am going deep! This is the most vulnerable podcast I have created to date but it just felt right and it was the message I wanted to share this week. Since we have hit December of 2022 (can you even believe it?) I have been doing a lot of reflecting on this year and what a year it has been.

    **Trigger warning** Death, loss and grief will be involved in this episode.

    In this episode, you will hear about: 

    • How my world turned upside down in the blink of an eye in March of 2022.

    • 5 life-changing lessons I learnt in 2022 that have made me a wiser and stronger person and business owner. 

    • How these lessons, if understood and integrated, are truly transformative and can change the way you live and run your business (in a beautiful way). 


    A lot of these lessons are life lessons but they can be used in your business to help you build a sustainable business that allows your humanity to exist within it (we are not robots). I don’t think we talk about the messy and dark stuff enough, and this episode certainly touches on some of that.

    Unfortunately, most of the biggest lessons we learn in life and business are the toughest ones and I had no shortage of that this year. 2022 will be a year etched in my mind and history forever as one of the hardest years to date… and it’s up to you to tune into this episode to hear more. 

    If this episode resonated with you in any way, share that with me on email or Instagram. It will mean the world.

  • Money rituals to bring abundance to your online business

    Send a text

    Hey amazing ones, welcome back to the Empowered Edupreneur Podcast. In today's episode, I am diving into the ever-so-important money conversation with a particular focus on opening the channels to receive more money in your online education business and life.

    As educators, we have a ton of work that we need to do on improving our personal relationship with money and with receiving more money.

    You may think; Duh, of course, I want more money (don't we all) but on a deeper more subconscious level, you have a lot of money wounds or blocks that alter your energy around money and as a result, can repel it.


    So in this episode, I will be sharing with you: 

    • 6 money rituals that you can implement to shift your relationship and energy around money so that you can welcome and receive MORE abundance in your life. 

    • If you're an educator in business, doing work on your money mindset is IMPERATIVE for your business. I cannot tell you how much of our subconscious blocks, scarcity mindset, and fear-based energy around money can sabotage our chances of ever making more money in the first place... We continue to perpetuate the cycle we so badly want to escape! 

    • These money rituals are delicious and expansive! They will start to transform how you perceive money, how you receive money, and also how you spend it. Essentially, we are shifting your money on a belief system and energy level so that you can put out the energy that attracts (hello law of attraction).

  • Masculine and feminine energy - How to use both in your online education biz

    Send a text

    In this episode, I go into the masculine and feminine energy and how operating in both is going to help you build a more sustainable and successful business.

    It isn't a common topic to be discussed, and I think most of us tend to operate in our masculine energy which is great to a certain extent but then it
    can become damaging. In this episode, I share with you how it looks in reality to be in your masculine and feminine energy and how that can look in business.

    You will learn: 

    • What masculine energy is and how to looks like in life and business.
    • What feminine energy is and how to looks like in life and business.
    • How balancing these two energies in your body and business can create sustainable growth.
    • How potent and magnet the feminine energy actually is and a reminder on leaning back into this nurturing and powerful place. 


    As business owners, we need to learn how to tap into both for growth that doesn't burn us out.

  • How your teaching identity is keeping you broke in business

    Send a text

    This is probably one of my favourite topics to talk about: identity work and how it can truly change the game in your business.

    There is a big internal shift that needs to take place as you evolve from being an educator who earns from a boss, to being an edupreneur who earns for themselves. Not only do you have to build new skills, but you have to step into a new version of you that can run a profitable business.
     
    You have to start identifying as a business owner and CEO, not "just a teacher". This can be one of the biggest blocks in scaling your business.

    It doesn't matter how much strategy you have,  your teacher identity and energy that you bring will shape your results in business (and often sabotage them).

    In this episode, I share my story of how I had to really step into my CEO self and let go of old ''teacher'' identity for me to rise up in my business. I will show you how your energy will trump strategy over and over again, and that strategy cannot outperform a poor mindset and 'struggling/ victim' identity.

    You are going to learn: 

    • How important the way you perceive yourself / identify yourself is in your business success. 
    • How 'just a teacher' identity is most likely going to sabotage your success and cause repeat cycles that you don't want.
    • How your identity and your 'beingness' is more important than your 'doing'. 

    Tips on how to start shifting your identity from ''I am just a teacher'' to ''I'm a badass CEO and entrepreneur who makes their own money''. And how this can transform your business results.

  • Two key things to get your online education business to 6-figures

    Send a text

    In this episode, I share two key things that you would need to activate in yourself to grow a profitable business online. This concept hasn't been 'spoken' about anywhere else that I have seen and I really believe activating these two things, continuously and simultaneously in your business is really important.

    These two sides of you that you need to activate are:
    The creator AND the destroyer.

    I really believe that having both of these parts of you activated in your business will lead to faster growth and momentum and I think every profitable online business owner embodies this creator and destroyer within.

  • Why you shouldn't worry about choosing the wrong niche in business

    Send a text

    If there is one thing I see that really stresses educators in business out and stops them dead in their tracks, it is choosing their niche. I have never fully understood why people have put so much pressure on themselves to choose the 'perfect' niche and anything beyond that isn't even worth starting, and so the result: They never actually start. The honest truth is that you are worrying way too much about the wrong things, and in this episode, I show you why by sharing my niche journey with you.

     You will learn how I started in the 'wrong' niche, but how that was the perfect stepping stone to get me to where I wanted to be. If you're changing niches every two seconds, or you are still putting all this pressure on yourself to have the 'perfect' niche and you're frozen to move forward then this podcast episode is for you.
