So many entrepreneurs think growth comes from one big moment like a viral post, the huge launch, the shiny new program. But in reality? Growth is built step by step, one “small yes” at a time. In this episode of Your Mic is Hot, we’re diving into why micro-commitments matter so much in building a mission-driven business. I’ll walk you through examples of small, low-barrier ways you can invite your audience to engage with you, and how those small yeses add up to trust, loyalty, and long-term clients.

In this episode of Your Mic is Hot, I sit down with my dear friend and entrepreneur, Sahar El Hodiri Aker — founder of I Choose Beauty and creator of the 7-Day Inner Peace and Healing Reset.

Sahar’s journey is proof that business can be deeply personal and profoundly impactful. What started as a simple 30-day challenge to find beauty every day turned into a movement that shines a light on mental health, healing, and self-care. Today, her brand blends clean products, inspiring content, and holistic practices.  

In our conversation, we talk about:

• How Sahar turned her own health struggles into a mission-driven business.
• The importance of building transparency and community around mental health.
• Why purpose can fuel not just your work, but your whole life.
• The inspiration behind her newest program, the 7-Day Inner Peace and Healing Reset, and what you can expect if you join. (Limited time offer Sept. 11-17  )
