- Endings Can Be Sweet Too (Goodbye to The Hive)
"Don't go into business with friends" is what they say...
But Melinda and I became fast friends AND business parters in a very beautiful, intentional way. Even as we've made the difficult decision to end this particular business venture (The Hive membership) after 16 successful months, our relationship remains stronger than ever.
The Hive members "honeybees" wanted to hear more about our process to end a venture and behind the scenes of how we have and are still working through this so here it is!
In this episode we cover:
- Why we decided to close The Hive membership even though it's going so well and makes no logical sense to close
- The emotion behind ending something so meaningful
- How we came to the decision and had a radically honest talk
- What is next for each of us
- How we approached the business and friendship territory

1 hr 7 min - Is Satisfaction in Business Actually Attainable?
Do you ever just wonder... when is enough enough?
Will I ever feel like I've "made it"?
Is it even possible to achieve satisfaction as an entrepreneur?
In this episode, I am sharing with you about the HUGE epiphany I've had this month about where I am at and how I'm feeling in business.
Spoiler alert: I'm feeling satisfied, fulfilled and CHILL for the first time ever about where I am at.
These are my reflections on the inner and outer work it took to get here.
My harvest era.
It wasn't that long ago that I *demanded* my business become more reciprocal and I knew things had to change...
I remember deeply reflecting last April if I would continue my business at all,
And in November of 2024 I decided to focus more on writing and speaking since speaking gigs have been paying me most generously.
I'm happy to say that I've really stuck to that focus of serving my existing communities (including The Hive now!) and the speaking and writing.
AND - I am at a spot where I would truly use the word "thriving" to describe my business and it's not just a numbers thing.
It's an energy thing.
It's a reciprocity thing.
It's a fulfillment thing.

40 min - My First 6-Figure Year: BTS
Join me as I pull back the curtain of my first 6-figure sales year as a coaching and speaking business. This is a no nonsense, no fluff, very transparent and vulnerable look at:
- The numbers- how much I actually received in cash (not sales), what my expenses looked like and how much net profit was actually left
- Taxes, exchange rates and other barriers Canadian businesses face when operating internationally
- The first high ticket mentorship I've NOT regretted
- What worked well?
- What didn't work?
- How I can streamline for next year
- How I can increase profit margins
This is a tender share but I hope it will help you feel more encouraged and tuned into what *actually* goes into generating a profitable coaching business.

59 min - Hello From My Rest & Reciprocity Era
Hello From My Rest & Reciprocity Era! I am back from an unintentional 2 month podcast hiatus and feeling clarity, creativity and reciprocity. If you need permission to continue embracing winter and going into hermit mode - this is for you. Though you're more than likely to roll your eyes at my version of hermit mode: taking a 200 hour yoga teacher training, writing a book and working a full time job! But for me and my #ADHD stimulation needing brain, this is me "coasting". The yoga is truly just for me right now and is honestly changing my life. I'll share more soon, but for now I am happily in full student mode.

About The Soul‘s Way
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to the Soul’s Way podcast!
This is your host Emily Anne Brant. I am a proud First Nations (Mohawk) author, speaker and mentor here to meet you at the intersection of personal development and decolonization.
I truly believe that when we see ourselves and one another mind, body, emotion AND most of all soul or spirit… we can break through systematic, ancestral and generational ways of being that we came here to disrupt and rise above, and lean into the ways that heal our spirits.
I know that we can do this through honest conversations, radical responsibility, and healing together in community.
Through my stories and the incredible conversations with some truly amazing guests - my hope is that you leave each episode with a more open heart and that you feel emboldened in your medicine and your voice- knowing your ripple effect matters.
OUR ripple effect matters.
