You built what most people only dream of — the title, the track record, the room where the real decisions get made. And still, some quiet hour, you wonder when it finally gets to feel like enough.

My guest this week, Celinne Da Costa, knows that feeling intimately. She left the life she was “supposed” to want, spent nine months couch-surfing the world, and came back with a USA TODAY bestselling book, The Burning Ground. In this conversation she also opens up about something extraordinary — clearing three tick-borne illnesses doctors said could take years, by treating her body as a teacher instead of an enemy. This one is a soul transmission from start to finish.

What if the struggle you're gripping so hard right now was never yours to force — only to move through, awake? 

In this episode of The MetaBusiness Millennial, I sit down with Marvin Wilkerson — master evolutionary astrologer, certified hypnotherapist, and author of Soul Fusion Healing: Integrating Mind, Body, and Soul — who has spent 75 years learning, teaching, and embodying one radical truth: you are not the doer.

We go deep on the soul's life plan, why your desires were imprinted before you were born, the real difference between surrender and giving up, why the most spiritual thing you can do is simply be human, and how your birth chart reads like the language of energy itself. If you're a woman building something real and quietly exhausted from forcing it, consider this your permission slip. Come sit with us.

What if every result in your business the revenue, the rooms, the yeses and the nos is just your self-image made visible?

In this episode of The MetaBusiness Millennial, I sit down with Mariko Fujimura — mindset and self-image coach, founder of the Kiseki Institute, and TEDx speaker — for a conversation about the story running underneath your success. Mariko spent years as a pastry chef and mother, looking like she had it all together on the outside while she was miserable inside, before she picked up the pen and rewrote her own story. She shares the moment it broke open, why she stayed a $30,000-a-year earner for years even while devouring every book and program (hint: it wasn't strategy), and how she finally changed it.

We get into the 60,000 to 70,000 thoughts moving through you every day and the same old tape they keep playing, why the answer to “how do I create more abundance” is letting it happen instead of making it happen, and how alignment magnetizes what hustle only chases. We talk about telling the difference between a goal that's truly yours and one you absorbed from the outside, and what to say to the woman who has hit the numbers and still feels the gap.

This one is a soul transmission. Come sit with us.

Forty-four minutes into this conversation, Romi Marie looked down at the timer on her phone and read the number out loud. 4401 — the number that has followed the two of them for twenty-three years. Seconds later, James Haven said the words he had never said out loud in his life.

James Haven is a writer, a director, the son of Jon Voight and the brother of Angelina Jolie. Romi Marie is an author, a coach, a mother, and a Substack bestseller — and she is the woman he married in Laguna Beach in front of his father, then lost fifteen days later when she filed for annulment citing fraud. This is the first time the two of them have ever told that story together.

What they reveal is not what the headlines said. As Romi puts it, she filed because someone was lying to her about a lot of things, but mostly lying to himself.

We go all the way back to May 2002 — the El Rey Theatre, the only date night she ever had with her father, and the tall man who walked over with his mother. The nickname Marcheline Bertrand gave them. The key left under the mat and the twenty years of silence that followed. What it does to a boy to be introduced at Hollywood premieres to people who never take their eyes off his father or his sister. Being locked in a closet at five years old for reaching for a dress. A father who called him sick — at their wedding table, after the wedding.

And then June 5th. The day the court finalized the annulment. The same day Romi picked up the phone and called him, without knowing what day it was.

This is a coming out, a reunion, and a resurrection.

What if the chase to become a better version of yourself is the very thing draining you?

In this episode of The MetaBusiness Millennial, I sit down with author, executive, and Corluma founder Barbara Burgess — whose first book, Enough: Finding Peace in a World of Distractions, Hustle, and Expectations, names the ache so many high-achieving women carry. We unpack the seduction of self-improvement: how the endless pursuit of more conscious, more healed, more optimized becomes just another version of not enough. Two women who climbed every conventional ladder and chose something deeper.

This one is about the difference between growing because you love to and grinding because you are trying to earn your worth. It is about boundaries, the small nos, and what it means to finally build from wholeness instead of lack.

Why does a $5,000 Gucci bag and a $500 bag hold your stuff the same way — but one feels like an extension of your identity and the other doesn't? That's brand love. And in this full-circle episode of The MetaBusiness Millennial, I'm sitting down with the woman who literally wrote the international bestselling book on it — Lydia Michael — who also happened to be the marketing strategist behind my very first clean beauty brand, DAO Detroit (DAO = Defy All Odds), back in 2017.

Years later, she's a #1 international bestseller, owner of Detroit-based Blended Collective, an adjunct professor across three continents, and a Board of Trustees member at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. I'm building Ra Beauty, my second clean beauty brand — this time from a completely different place. So when she reached out a few weeks ago for a testimonial, I told her — let's do better than a testimonial. Come on the show.

What unfolded is part reunion, part masterclass, part love letter to the brands that built us.

We unpack The Eight Brand Love Stages — Lydia's framework featured in university programs worldwide and translated into Turkish and Vietnamese. We talk about why 90% of customers make decisions based on gut feeling (and then justify with logic), why Coca-Cola doesn't sell beverages (they sell joy and happiness), and why I'm a Gucci goddess in the era of Tom Ford sensuality. Lydia walks us through how brands like L'Oréal, Garnier Fructis, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Chanel, and Versace build emotional resonance — and where most small businesses leak love.

Then we cross the bridge into my world: the mirror principle. A brand can't receive love it isn't broadcasting. I share why I'm praying over every Ra Beauty box and signing every insert card by hand — and why building from the inside out is the new luxury.

This is the conversation for every founder, marketer, and high-achieving woman who wants to build something people don't just buy — but actually love.

She married her best friend of 23 years. She married him in front of one of the most famous fathers in Hollywood. And she filed for annulment fifteen days later.

In this raw, faith-forward conversation with her sister and bestie Erin Patten, Romi Marie sits in the seat of her own truth — for the first time, in long form, in her own voice — about marrying James Haven (Angelina Jolie's older brother), the night-of-the-wedding moment that changed everything, the pattern of saying yes to men who couldn't stay, and the holy work of coming home to herself.

This is not a tell-all. It is a testimony.

We talk about three marriages and one annulment. We talk about the daddy wounds underneath all of it. We talk about her daughter who pulled her out of survival mode and looked her dead in the eye and said, "Mama, you got a bad picker." We talk about the memoir she is releasing one chapter at a time on Substack, read in her own voice, with no editor sexualizing her story for the page. And we talk about Jesus — about hiding, about being seen, about the moment a woman finally decides she has nothing left to hide.

Romi has been in People Magazine. She has been on reality television. She could have taken this story to any platform she wanted. She chose this one — because she wanted to be heard, and held, by her sister.

If you have ever said yes too fast, walked away too late, or wondered whether the life you are being asked to release is the door to the life you actually came here to live — this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

In this episode, I'm getting honest about the season I've been quietly walking through. I haven't been on a date in months. I've stopped drinking. I deleted Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Facebook from my phone. I'm not going out on weekends. And my life, my business, and my alignment have never been more dialed in.

I'm calling it The Great Subtraction. And I am very much not the only woman in it.

There's a quiet movement underway among high-achieving women right now — an abstinence economy, a sacred withdrawal, a season of nothing that is actually a season of everything. We're stepping away from the cocktails, the dating apps, the constant content, the swipe-left-swipe-right disposable economy of attention. Not out of restriction. Out of recognition.

This conversation is about why subtraction is one of the most strategic spiritual moves you can make. It's about the mirror principle — how the chaos in your inner world is showing up directly in your business, your money, your relationships — and why deleting an app, declining a drink, or saying no to a date can do more for your next-level than another strategy session ever will.

𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲, 𝗜 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁:

This is not about deprivation. It's not punishment. It's preparation.

If you've been feeling lonely, restless, or quietly pulled away from the version of life you used to chase — this episode will meet you right where you are.

Tune in as I get real about what it feels like when every planet in the solar system is moving forward and your life still feels like it's buffering. This is a solo episode. No guest. Just me, my truth, and a download I couldn't keep to myself.

I'm in limbo right now. The custody situation with my son is unresolved. My beauty brand Ra Beauty just launched and we're still figuring out direction. Business relationships I've outgrown are shifting. And my evolutionary astrologer Kristin Fontana told me something that rearranged how I see this entire season. She said you are right on time. And the system isn't fully a go yet.

So I break down what's actually happening in the cosmos right now, why the lunar nodes hovering at eight to nine degrees Virgo/Pisces since mid-January have us sitting between what we're finishing from our past and what we're anchoring to in our future. I share the mirrored revolving door image that changed how I understand growth and why half of us are being sent back to re-evolve while the other half are being upgraded and sent forward. I get vulnerable about what it's been like to have no legal rights over my own son's medical care and schooling and how I had to move from shame and anger into unconditional trust in God. And I walk you through the April 20th to May 6th acceleration window that's coming and why you will only receive it if you honor the stillness first.

This episode explores:

This is not a motivational speech about patience. This is me sitting in the wait with you and telling you the truth about what I see on the other side of it.

If you're sitting in April with a launch that's not ready, a situation that's not resolved, and a life that feels like it's on pause. If you needed someone to tell you that you are not behind.

This episode is for you.

Tune in as my guest, Ksenia Merck, and I sit down to talk about what happens when the love of your life leaves behind an unfinished story. Not a metaphor. A real science fiction novel sitting in a drawer. And you decide to pick up the pen and finish it.

An architect with over four decades in construction, a woman who grew up on job sites with her World War II paratrooper father, built her own consulting firm in 2002, and now runs two businesses while honoring the literary legacy her late husband Bill left behind. This conversation is not about loss. It's about what love looks like when it refuses to end.

Ksenia shares what it was like to feel the vibration between her and Bill rise in the hospital during his most critical moments, how she went from PTSD and sleepless nights to locking the door and pulling out her paints at the same dining room table where her father taught her to draw. She walks us through finding stories about their love woven into his manuscript, why she creates in complete silence because that's where she feels him closest, and how painting the Twin Star became the symbol of their eternal bond. One soul in the center. Two hearts.

I share my own experience with losing my father and how grief presents us with two doors. Destruction or creation. We get to choose which one we walk through.

This episode explores:

This is not a conversation about moving on. It's about moving with. When love is built in the spirit the physical world has no authority to end it.

If you've ever lost someone and wondered if the connection still lives. If you've ever needed someone to remind you that love doesn't need a body to keep going.

This episode is for you.
