What happens when your inner voice is silenced for decades—and what does it take to finally hear it again? In this powerful episode, I sit down with the courageous Luna Marie, a woman who spent over 40 years in high-control religious environments that dictated her identity, worth, and even her right to trust her own voice. Luna opens up about what it was like to grow up in a belief system that equated love with pain and obedience with value - and how she finally broke free to rediscover her true self. What I admire most about Luna is her refusal to see herself as a victim. Her story is not...

Are you just "loving" your business, or are you truly adoring the journey and devoted to its purpose? We often use powerful words without considering their depth. Today, let's pause and explore the transformative energy behind love, adoration, and devotion, and how mindfully embracing them can revolutionize your life and business. The words we use really do shape our reality. They can build bridges or create distance, reveal our truths or keep them hidden. So, I invite you to consider: How do you truly show love – to yourself, to others, and to the very work that fills your days? It's...

I understand that feeling of pushing against an invisible wall, the resistance that creeps into every aspect of our lives, from our work to our personal growth. It's that nagging sense of knowing what you want, but constantly finding reasons to stay put. Today, let’s unpack this together. Resistance is a mix of our mind and heart telling us to stay safe, even when “safe” keeps us from our dreams. It shows up as procrastination, self-doubt, and those excuses that sound so convincing. But...
