In today's episode, you’ll learn how to lead from your truth and create a soul-led life, even when it defies logic, and the path forward is unclear.

If you’ve ever felt like your way of being doesn’t fit into the conventional molds of business or life—or if you’ve been called to live in deeper alignment with your own truth, this episode is for you.

Jak Shaw is here to share her journey of building a 7-figure spiritual mentorship business, unschooling her children in Costa Rica, and deepening her marriage after rupture—all through radical devotion to her inner knowing. Jak is a mentor and spiritual teacher who activates her clients’ deepest wisdom, guiding them to live unapologetically in their truth. Through her work, women experience profound transformation—not by following rigid frameworks, but by returning to their own knowing.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How Jak embraced her 6-line Projector energy to lead unapologetically and soulfully in her life and business
• Her journey from traditional business models to living and leading in full devotion to her inner knowing
• How she navigated financial uncertainty and leaned into trust when there was no evidence
• The sacred journey of rebuilding trust and intimacy in her marriage after infidelity
• Her experience with unschooling her children in Costa Rica and living life on her own terms
• The process of writing her book, staying true to her story, and refusing to dilute her truth—even when others told her to

This isn’t about following someone else’s blueprint. It’s about tuning into your own divine wisdom, reclaiming your truth, and trusting it so deeply that it becomes your guidepost, no matter what the outside world says.

You’ll walk away from this episode inspired to honor your own knowing, embrace the unknown, and lead from a place of full embodiment.

Today’s episode is a soulful deep dive into the real, raw, and wildly inspiring world of motherhood, purpose, and presence with my dear friend Kanika Chadda Gupta — a powerhouse former CNN anchor turned purpose-led entrepreneur, podcaster, and mom of three (including twins!).

Kanika is the voice behind That’s Total Mom Sense, a top-ranked parenting podcast that’s featured everyone from Kelly Rowland to Chelsea Clinton. But in this conversation, we go behind the brand — into the quiet inner wisdom, the burnout, the self-doubt, the knowing, and the “get to” moments that have shaped her journey.

We talk about:

• What “Mom Sense” really is — and how to reclaim it
• How to stay connected to your dreams and intuition (even while sleep-deprived)
• The subtle shift from “I have to…” to “I get to…”
• Navigating ambition without abandoning yourself
• How Kika built a media brand and podcast empire with three kids and no full-time help
• Tuning into purpose through meditation, dreams, and vision boards
• Tips for speaking powerfully, building presence, and reclaiming your voice

This one’s for the mamas who’ve ever felt torn between ambition and motherhood, exhaustion and purpose, or survival and soul.

📍 Kanika's warmth, wisdom, and wit will remind you: you’ve got this.

Because you’ve always known.

If you've ever felt like you're at rock bottom—like life has hit you hard, and you're not sure how you’ll ever rise again—this story is going to shift something in you.

This is about resilience in real time. It's about what happens when someone takes the lowest of lows and transforms it into purpose, abundance, and legacy. It's about what’s possible for you, too.

Coss Marte went from solitary confinement… to Saks Fifth Avenue. From running the streets of the Lower East Side… to building two mission-driven empires: ConBody and ConBud.

At just 19 years old, he was running a $5 million drug operation that ultimately landed him behind bars. Today, he’s doing over $7 million in legal cannabis sales—using the very industry that got him incarcerated to create jobs, rewrite narratives, and build generational change.

He founded ConBody, a prison-style fitness bootcamp that has served over 70,000 people and hired more than 100 formerly incarcerated individuals to lead the work. He’s been featured in The New York Times, Men’s Health, CNN, NBC, and over 200 major media outlets. He’s given four TED Talks, authored a book, and continues to break cycles of incarceration by helping others transform their lives too.

With ConBud, he’s flipping the cannabis industry on its head—creating opportunities for people who were once criminalized for the very thing he’s now legally succeeding in.

In this conversation, we explore the deeper layers:

• How do you keep moving forward when it all falls apart?
• Where do you find the strength when everything feels stacked against you?
• And how do you turn your hardest seasons into fuel for something revolutionary?

I feel deeply connected to this story because I was touched firsthand by the power of this mission. I brought Coss into Saks as part of a project I was leading, and that moment ended up being pivotal for both of us. Getting to know him, witnessing his growth, and watching him continue to make such a profound impact moves me, inspires me, and honestly—it just makes me want to hear more.

So without further ado, let’s get into it.

What if the version of you you’ve been hiding is the one the world’s been waiting for?

In this honest and unfiltered episode, we pull back the curtain on the quiet war with self-doubt—the inner voice that whispers “too much,” “too loud,” “not enough.” Through my own six-month journey of reclaiming my voice in the face of criticism, fear, and the pressure to play small, I share what it really looks like to choose authenticity over approval.

In this episode, we dive into:

✨ What it actually means to stop shrinking and start taking up space ✨ How to navigate fear without letting it run the show ✨ Why your voice is your most powerful tool for liberation and connection ✨ And how authenticity isn’t a destination—it’s a daily choice

If you’ve been biting your tongue, second-guessing your truth, or playing small in spaces that deserve your full presence—this conversation is yours.

What if the patterns keeping you stuck aren’t even yours?

In this raw, powerful episode, I take you inside one of the most life-altering healing sessions I’ve ever experienced—an ancestral healing journey that unlocked shifts not just in my mind, but in my body, my relationships, my nervous system, and how I move through the world.

You’ll hear me vulnerably guided in real-time as I connect with a little girl in my lineage, carrying the weight of generations of unmet needs, disconnection, and unspoken pain. Together, we witness the mother line patterns that had silently shaped my parenting, my health, and even my relationship with myself.

But the real magic unfolded after…

In the second half of the episode, I share the full ripple effect of this session:

✨ How it rewired my nervous system and released stored generational trauma

✨ How it shifted my relationship with my daughter and mother—bringing deeper intimacy, empathy, and connection

✨ How it opened up new layers of creativity, play, homemaking, and self-expression I’d never accessed before

✨ And even the wild physical manifestations (including unexpected body symptoms!) that came as my system recalibrated

If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying invisible weight—whether in your health, relationships, or sense of self—this conversation is for you.

Tune in and witness how ancestral healing has the power to ripple through generations forward and back… and liberate the truest version of you.
