I have a special guest today who I reconnected with a few months ago after 10 years. Christie Flynn was a client back in 2014 when she was a health coach. We re-engineered her business and transformed her money relationship. And then we lost touch for a while, which I found out why and you will hear about that in our interview. When she found me on LinkedIn back in November 2024, I was delighted to see her direct message in my account. But something was different about her energy and the info on her profile had changed. It read Psychic Medium and Executive Coach. I said to myself...

When I choose guests for the podcast, I come from an intuitive place obviously given the purpose and premise of this show and how I operate. I also look for creatives with compelling stories – the strength of the human spirit. Being a journalist, writer, and storyteller as a foundational part of my background, I love how the story is what inspires people to relate as they apply it to their own lives and take action. So, when I met my guest In October 2024 at a women’s global networking event here in LA and listened to her story as she was introducing herself, I intuitively knew she’d be...
info_outlineWelcome back, creative soul! After a summer of reflection and re-airing several of our most impactful episodes through the Summer Reset Series, I’m returning refreshed, excited to jump back into connecting with you on the show—and a renewed devotion to women’s reinvention.
In this milestone 90th episode, I take you behind the scenes of our sold-out Your Voice Matters: Setting the Stage to Impact Humanity workshop. After nine months of visioning, setbacks, breakthroughs, and co-creation with my brilliant collaborators Laura Chavez Weintraub and Ashley Rivera, we brought to life an unforgettable day of empowerment, vulnerability, and transformation.
You’ll hear how women—from emerging speakers to seasoned leaders—moved through fear, imposter syndrome, and resistance to boldly own their voices and share their stories on stage. What happened in that room wasn’t just a workshop—it was a call to rise, to speak, to lead with soul.
And that’s exactly what this episode is about.
We are not returning to business as usual.
We are taking a Quantum Leap forward to our future selves.
This episode is a love letter to the woman who is:
-
Feeling the stirring inside for something deeper
-
Questioning the old metrics of success
-
Craving more joy, play, adventure, sensuality, and desire in her life
-
Tired of the burnout loop and ready to work with her intuition—not against it
✨ I’ll guide you through:
-
The origin story of my Creative Achievement Formula — Desires + Goals = Transformation & Results
-
My 2017 burnout that catapulted me into a month-long soul-led adventure in Florence, Italy—and completely redefined my identity
-
Why we must stop neglecting the feminine gifts of creativity, desire, feelings, and intuitive leadership
-
What happens when we build from burnout versus when we create from overflow
-
How to embody your next-chapter self by shifting from “doing” to being—from a verb to a noun
You’ll also hear about the upcoming Soul-Led Next Level Portal, my 90-day immersive coaching container beginning October 8th, created for women who are ready to:
-
Redefine success from the inside out
-
Create aligned income with less push, more pull
-
Lead with grace, joy, creativity, and power
-
Live and work from the union of feminine energy and productive action
This isn’t about abandoning your ambition. It’s about amplifying it—with alignment, intuition, and divine feminine leadership.
This is your invitation to return to the wisdom of your body, your joy, and your soul’s desires. You’re not stuck. You’re being called to a new chapter. And I’m here to help you design it.
Tune in now and let this episode be your permission slip to redefine what success really means—for you.
