For the next three weeks, I’m sharing bonus episodes featuring some of the incredible female entrepreneurs and visionaries who have moved through Conscious Business Salon — so you can hear what this space is like from the inside. In today’s conversation, you’ll meet Hope Pedraza: functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, Human Design guide, clinical hypnotherapist, and host of the Hopeful & Wholesome Podcast. We dive into the real-time intersection of the physical body + the energetic/emotional plane, and why “root cause” healing do so with so much more than labs and...

A massive astrological threshold is officially here: Neptune has moved from Pisces into Aries (January 26, 2026), and Saturn follows (February 13, 2026). In this episode, we explore what it means when two outer planets shift from the final sign of the zodiac (Pisces) into the first sign (Aries) — and why this marks a collective reset that will shape the energetic background of 2026 and the years ahead. This is an initiation out of the cocoon. Out of the dream-only realm. Out of the “one day” loop. And into action, structure, sovereignty, and fire that can actually be held. If you’re a...

There’s a season in every soul-led path where the cocoon is not only appropriate - it’s essential. The healing. The dissolving. The deconditioning. The years where it feels like your full-time job is unlearning everything you were taught about work, worth, and power. But the cocoon is not the destination. In this episode, I’m naming the moment many of us are standing in right now: the threshold where “alignment” can quietly turn into avoidance… and where the work is no longer to heal instead of building, but to become the structure that allows your work to fly. If you’ve been...

Have you ever had a day where you worked for three hours, got more done than you usually do in eight… and then spent the rest of the day feeling guilty about it? That guilt isn’t a personal flaw or evidence that you've done something wrong. It’s deep conditioning. In this episode, we unpack why so many entrepreneurs, creatives, and visionaries struggle to rest without guilt - even when their work is impactful, profitable, and complete. We explore how industrial-era productivity norms still live inside our nervous systems, why time spent ≠ value created in creative work, and what...

2026 is a numerology 1 year: the beginning of a brand new numerology cycle, and the opening of a fresh nine-year chapter (2026–2035). In this episode, I break down the 2026 numerology themes including why a universal 1 year isn’t a time to demand instant clarity, and how to navigate 1 year energy with patience, permission, and true foundation-building. We’ll explore what a 1 year means in real time, and how the 2026 universal year number sets the tone for everything you’ll grow over the next nine years. This year is less about “go faster” and more about first steps, identity...

This episode is for the visionaries, cycle-breakers, and energy-sensitive leaders who have always felt like the “different one” in their family system. If family gatherings tend to pull you back into old roles, drain your nervous system, or leave you questioning your growth, this episode offers a clear roadmap for moving differently - not by changing anyone else, but by changing how you operate inside the exact same dynamics. Rather than teaching you how to cope, fix, or explain yourself, this conversation explores how family dynamics can function as a precise soul initiation - one...

2025 is a numerology 9 year: a collective portal of letting go, closing cycles, and releasing what’s no longer alive so you can enter a new cycle (2026-2035) with clean energy. In this episode, I break down the 2025 numerology themes I’ve felt most strongly this year, and why the collective 9 year isn’t here to push you forward yet - it’s here to help you complete what’s been unfinished first. We’ll explore what completion energy actually looks like in real life, how the universal year 9 fits into the larger numerology cycle, and why endings and transitions can be both...

In this episode, we're exploring Gene Key/Human Design Gate 59 as a core frequency of the 2027 shift and why dishonesty in the new paradigm isn’t just “big lies,” but the micro-edits, emotional avoidance, and energetic withholding that are quietly blocking your life force. We're going into: The mechanics of how even micro-dishonesty distorts your timeline at the energetic level What this actually costs you: depleted energy, frozen progress, weakened intuition, and relationships built on false ground Signs that this pattern is active in your life and the pathway out Moving from...

I’ve been in a very internal season since the summer Solstice — one that’s asked me to slow down, ask some hard questions, and look deeply at some unconscious patterns I’ve been living within. In this episode, I’m sharing what that’s actually looked like: the role I’ve been living from without realizing it, what my body has been trying to communicate, and the ways all of this is reshaping how I relate to work, value, and my path forward. This episode isn’t a “big reveal.” It’s just an honest share of what I've been moving through over these last months: the unraveling,...

Welcome back, loves! We’re in the middle of quite a few retrogrades as this goes live, and while most of the internet is shouting “don’t launch, don’t decide, don’t text your ex, don’t move forward!"... I have a very different perspective. Retrogrades aren't something to fear. They're portals, pattern interrupters, and cosmic mirrors. Moments when the sky appears to move backward, and we are invited to reclaim the energy we’ve left behind. Inside this episode, we talk about: What a retrograde really is (and why the ‘fear talk’ is misleading) How retrogrades...
info_outlineThere’s a season in every soul-led path where the cocoon is not only appropriate - it’s essential. The healing. The dissolving. The deconditioning. The years where it feels like your full-time job is unlearning everything you were taught about work, worth, and power.
But the cocoon is not the destination.
In this episode, I’m naming the moment many of us are standing in right now: the threshold where “alignment” can quietly turn into avoidance… and where the work is no longer to heal instead of building, but to become the structure that allows your work to fly.
If you’ve been stuck in start/stop patterns, self-sabotaging the very steps that would let your business grow, or feeling a strange resistance to visibility, money, structure, and responsibility… this is for you.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why so many visionaries get stuck at the edge of expansion
- Why the physical plane can feel unsafe for intuitive and spiritually attuned entrepreneurs
- How capitalism, patriarchy, and colonization have distorted our relationship with money, visibility, structure, and responsibility
- What spiritual bypassing looks like in business (and why it can feel so “aligned”)
- The 5 protector patterns that show up at the threshold of expansion
- How to stop swinging between force and floating so you can build something real
- My favorite metaphor for creative energy, and why your vision needs a vessel
