How do we create real balance between doing and being in business - especially when we’ve been conditioned to work in hustle culture?

In this episode, I sat down with Nils Schink, a men’s and business coach I met here in Thailand, to talk about something that’s been a hot topic in my life and with my clients: feminine and masculine energy.

We dove deep into how understanding and integrating these energies can support long-term business growth, prevent burnout, and actually make you feel more fulfilled in life and work.

Inside this episode we explore:

- The difference between feminine energy (receiving, being, presence) and masculine energy (doing, structure, action)
- Why so many entrepreneurs (especially women!) default to burnout-mode
- How to use energy awareness to guide business decisions
- My own story of experiencing 3 burnouts and what I’ve changed since
- Tools that help you create balance and still make progress
- The one thing that might be missing in your current business strategy
- Why slowing down can be the secret to faster growth

If you’re building a business and craving more balance, this one’s for you. You’ll walk away with practical steps and powerful mindset shifts to help you grow without grinding.

Ever felt like life was pushing you to change... but you had no idea what came next?

In this episode, I’m joined by Heather Morgan - host of Wandering the Wild Mess Podcast - to talk about what it really looks like to trust the process and rebuild your life from scratch.

Heather left behind a marriage, a corporate career, and everything she knew in Utah to start over in Nashville - guided only by her intuition. We had such an honest, real conversation about navigating change, self-discovery, and what happens when you finally listen to that quiet inner voice.

We talked about:

- Learning to trust your intuition (even when it doesn’t make sense)
- Why your ego can actually help you move forward
- How to deal with the messiness of starting over
- Synchronicities and those weird “signs” that tell you you’re on the right path
- Shifting your self-concept so success feels natural
- Releasing old identities and stepping into the version of you that’s actually aligned

If you're in a season of change or feel like something's calling you even though it makes no sense, this episode will remind you to trust the process and take that first step.

Ever feel like you're stuck in a life that doesn’t feel like yours? It might be time to escape the matrix and start building your freedom life.

In this solo episode, I’m diving into what it actually takes to create more freedom in your life - especially if you’re feeling stuck, uninspired, or like your current circumstances just aren’t working for you anymore.

I’m sharing the truth about comfort zones, why we get trapped in them, and how you can start moving out of yours. Plus, I’ll walk you through the four types of freedom - emotional, time, financial, and location.

You’ll also hear a sneak peek from my free masterclass, where I break down my Freedom Model Method - a framework I created after going through this journey myself. It's the exact method I used to leave my old life behind and build a business (and lifestyle) that actually works for me.

You'll Learn:

- The four key types of freedom and how they’re all connected
- Why emotional freedom needs to come before financial or time freedom
- How to escape the matrix - the system, the job, the expectations keeping you stuck
- My Freedom Model Method: Clarity + Alignment + Action = Freedom
- Why online business is one of the best paths to designing your freedom life
- The four traits I believe every freedom-seeking entrepreneur needs

You can watch the full masterclass and learn more here:
