Yes, And! w. Bunny Young

Making more money doesn’t automatically mean you’re building wealth.

In this solo episode of Yes, And!, Bunny Young shares the money lessons that shaped the way she runs multiple businesses today, starting with what she learned watching her mom manage money, clients, payroll, taxes, and profitability from a very young age.

Bunny breaks down why revenue is only one part of the equation, how better financial systems create more freedom, and why knowing how much money your business can actually keep and manage matters just as much as how much it can make.

She also shares practical lessons around setting aside money for taxes, building cash reserves before hiring, understanding profitability, reducing unnecessary overhead, and using your numbers to make more confident decisions as you scale.

If you’re a woman entrepreneur focused on predictable revenue, business growth, and long-term wealth building, this episode is a reminder that the goal isn’t just to make more money. It’s to build a business that knows what to do with the money once it arrives.

What if your next level of business growth isn’t asking you to do more, but to learn how to receive more?

In this solo episode of Yes, And!, Bunny takes you behind the scenes of a relationship coaching session that unexpectedly revealed a lesson she also teaches women entrepreneurs: receiving support, love, feedback, and care can be just as important as knowing how to give, lead, and perform.

Bunny shares what happened when she slowed down enough to actually receive the love and support already available to her, why presence can be more powerful than fixing or solving, and how the same lesson applies to relationships, business coaching, clients, leadership, money, and sustainable growth.

If you’re used to being the woman who holds everything together, this episode is an invitation to ask a different question: what could become possible in your business and life if you allowed yourself to receive more?

What if the reason your business isn't growing has less to do with what you're doing and more to do with who you're becoming?

When Identity Coach Karen Gray started working with Bunny as her business coach, she wanted all the business strategy. The systems. The steps. She came into Bunny’s coaching looking for the answer to the question so many women entrepreneurs ask: “But how do I make this work?”

And for a while, she genuinely felt like nothing was working... until it did.

In this episode, Bunny and Karen look back at more than three years of coaching and the realization that changed everything: Karen, like many women entrepreneurs, needed to stop abandoning herself while building her business and her life.

This episode is a must if you’ve invested in your business and still haven’t seen the results you expected. They talk about self-trust, learning to receive money and support without guilt, finding real community, and why having all the right business strategies won't create sustainable growth if you're building them around a version of yourself that isn't really you.

Because sometimes the question isn't, “How do I grow my business?”

Sometimes you need to switch the words around and ask instead: “Who do I need to become to hold the business, wealth, and life I actually want?”

You know that feeling when you want to leave your job and build your own business, but you have absolutely no idea how to do it?

That was Lisa Miller when she met Bunny.

She was a single mom with three boys to support, a successful career that no longer made her happy, zero coaching clients, and a big question: Can I actually build a successful coaching business on my own?

In this episode of Yes, And!, Bunny and Lisa go back to the very beginning of their coaching relationship and talk about what it actually took for Lisa to become the successful relationship coach she is, with an online community of almost 300,000 people.

Here's a hint: the work she did with Bunny to reach that place wasn't just about business strategy.

There were months when the clients came in and months when they didn't. Lisa almost went back to a full-time job because, as a single mom, inconsistent revenue wasn't something she could simply ignore. She had to learn how to trust herself, believe in the value of her work, show up consistently, and let herself be supported while she figured it out.

Lisa also shares why she believes Bunny's coaching changed the trajectory of her business, what Bunny saw in her before she could see it herself, and why having the right business coach became so much bigger than having someone tell her what to do.

If you're a woman entrepreneur building a coaching business, thinking about leaving your job, struggling with inconsistent revenue, or wondering whether the right business coach could help you reach your next level, this conversation is for you.

If you’re a spiritually led individual, we’re certain you’ve wondered how to connect your spiritual practice and soul mission with your money-making activities, have a successful business, and create the predictable revenue we all look for.

For Harmony Slater, a member of DEFY, the answer has been a journey of seeking answers to deeper questions, exploring the world, achieving great things, and deprogramming her mindset in order to ditch scarcity and welcome wealth.

In this episode of Yes, And!, Harmony, a spiritual teacher, somatic energetics coach, business mentor, and founder of the Lightworker Mastermind, talks about what it really means to build a business as a spiritual entrepreneur, and how Bunny’s coaching has helped her reach new levels of success in her business.

Harmony shares her journey from leaving home to study yoga and Eastern philosophy in India, Thailand, and China, to building her own yoga school and eventually creating a successful coaching business. They talk about authenticity, leadership, marketing, and the tension many spiritual entrepreneurs feel between their gifts and the business skills required to bring those gifts to more people, without demonizing money.

They also talk about Harmony’s experience inside DEFY and the moment she realized she had reached the edge of what she could create on her own. For her, investing in coaching, community, and the right systems wasn’t about working harder. It was about creating the structure to hold the next level of her vision.

And eventually, the conversation lands on something even deeper: the business of being you.

Because your certifications are not your business. Your title is not your business. Your offer is not you. The highest value you can bring to your business is your willingness to fully be yourself.

Let’s talk about the visibility wound many women have, and how it can hold female entrepreneurs back from actually building and thriving in the business of their dreams.

And we’re going to dive right into that with an expansive experience Bunny Young recently had.

The circumstances might change, but there are moments when someone else sees something in you that you haven’t been willing to see in yourself yet, and that can trigger the mindset shift you need in order to go all in!

In this solo episode, Bunny takes you behind the scenes of a spontaneous trip to Scottsdale that put her face to face with one of the most recognizable voices in female entrepreneurship, Natalie Ellis, the Boss Babe herself.

But this episode is not about meeting someone recognizable in the entrepreneurial space.

It’s about what happened when Bunny found herself in a room surrounded by women who reflected her own value back to her, and how that experience brought her face to face with a visibility wound she didn’t realize she was still carrying.

Bunny talks about the stories female entrepreneurs tell themselves about their message, their audience, their engagement, and whether they are “visible enough” to matter. She also shares why community, relationships, and putting yourself in the right rooms can create growth that no algorithm can manufacture.

If you see yourself in this, and you feel like you’ve been holding back, waiting until your message is perfect, or wondering whether your work is actually making an impact, this episode is your reminder that your value doesn’t become real when more people see it. You have to be willing to let it be seen.

What unfolds afterwards is the life you love to live!

Love this episode? Don’t just listen and move on. Leave a review, follow the show, and share this episode with a woman who needs the reminder that she doesn’t have to become more valuable to become more visible.

In this solo episode, Bunny explores why showing up fully, holding people accountable, and living in alignment with what you believe is possible can trigger some people while deeply inspiring others.

This is particularly relevant to female entrepreneurs. Bunny explores the connection between triggering and inspiring, and why you cannot spend your life making yourself smaller just to keep everyone else comfortable. 

Bunny also gets personal about the moments when she has questioned whether her work matters, what she has learned from being criticized, and why she has stopped allowing someone else’s reaction to determine how boldly she shows up.

And that right there is a lesson every female entrepreneur, coach, and consultant should embrace in their journey towards predictable revenue and consistent income. 

If you have been holding yourself back because you are afraid of disappointing someone, being judged, or becoming the villain in somebody else’s story, this episode is your reminder that their curriculum is not yours.

You get to take up space. You get to be fully yourself. And you get to build a life that feels like yours.

This episode is a celebration of what can happen when a woman stops building her life around everyone else and finally starts choosing herself, and how this can have a pivotal impact on her business growth. 

Bunny brings Nikki Acosta, a licensed marriage and family therapist, relationship expert, and transformation coach, into the studio to talk about the woman she was when they first met, and the woman she has become after a year inside DEFY.

This episode is all about the mindset shifts she experienced in her first year of DEFY. And, trust me, she has quite an interesting story. 

Nikki already knew how to build a business. She had successfully run multiple businesses and had a thriving therapy practice. What she didn’t know was how to build the coaching business she actually wanted, or how to stop operating from the belief that she simply had to keep doing more for everyone else.

Inside DEFY, that started to change. Nikki began making herself a non-negotiable, creating a business around the freedom she wanted, showing up more visibly, and learning to trust her own answers instead of constantly looking outside herself for them.

It’s time to face the truth: No matter how many zeroes are in your bank account, if your business only works when you are exhausted and available around the clock, your business might just be a different version of a golden cage. 

In the first episode of season 3 of the Yes, And! Podcast, I’m chatting with multi-industry entrepreneur, bestselling author, and powerhouse operator Kelsea Koenreich.

And her story is one for the books. Kelsea spent her early twenties in and out of jail, drinking every night, and watching her life completely unravel. Instead of staying stuck, she chose radical responsibility, rebuilt from rock bottom, and spent the last 15 years going inside the businesses of high-achieving multi-six and seven-figure women as their right-wing woman. 

In this conversation, we’re talking about the messy reality of breaking the mold, dropping the performance trap (yes, even the business blazers), dealing with unspoken rules in female entrepreneurship, and realizing that a business running on your constant burnout isn't freedom at all.

If you’re ready to stop performing and start building a business that actually supports your life, press play.
