Legal Shouldn’t Be Last: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You 05/28/2025

Understanding Burnout VS. Growth: When to Push and When to Pause 05/23/2025

Understanding Burnout VS. Growth: When to Push and When to Pause You know that moment when you realize you’ve been grinding, pushing, and hustling for something—only to wake up and admit it’s not even what you wanted? Yeah, this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on burnout. Not the glamorized, over-caffeinated version that gets praised on LinkedIn. I’m talking about the quiet unraveling that happens when you build your life or business in a way that betrays your truth. We explore what burnout really looks like—because spoiler alert, it’s not always about working 12-hour days. Sometimes it’s subtle. A gut feeling. A loss of joy. A constant questioning of: “Is this really it?” I share how I stayed in a role for far too long, mistaking discomfort for discipline, and what finally snapped me out of autopilot. You’ll also hear the real-life questions I now ask myself (and my clients) when burnout creeps in and why growth often requires sacred discomfort—not self-abandonment. If you’re tired of the narrative that burnout is just “part of the hustle,” this episode gives you the permission slip to pause, realign, and choose differently. This one’s not just about business. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about trusting your body, your energy, and your knowing. In this episode, we cover: The sneaky signs of burnout high achievers often ignore Why overextending yourself isn’t proof of ambition Soul-led questions to help you recalibrate The sacred invitation hidden inside burnout Growth is sacred. But it shouldn’t cost you your peace. Ready to hear more? Tune in now and reclaim your energy, your power, and your path.

Contracts Are Spiritual Tools: How to Use Them to Set Boundaries, Create Clarity, and Protect Your Business If the word “contract” makes you think of stuffy legal jargon and unread fine print, this episode is here to change that. In this powerful conversation, we’re redefining what contracts can mean for you and your business. Whether you’re brand new to client work or have been booking projects for years, it’s time to see contracts as more than just protection—they’re a practice in clarity, intentionality, and energetic alignment. We talk about what makes a contract effective, the common pitfalls that come with skipping them, and why clear agreements actually create better, more trusting relationships. You’ll hear how contracts can help you avoid emotional burnout, eliminate awkward conversations, and establish boundaries before they’re tested. This episode is especially for service providers, creatives, coaches, and anyone who’s ever had a client experience that left them feeling frustrated, underpaid, or misunderstood. We’ve all been there—and the solution often starts before the project even begins. Here’s what we cover: → What a contract really is and why it's more than a formality → How to use contracts to state your intentions up front → The mindset shift that turns contracts into empowering tools → The must-have clauses that protect your time, energy, and boundaries → How to avoid assumptions and misalignment with just a few clear lines If you’ve been relying on emails and crossed fingers, it’s time to elevate how you show up in your business—and a strong contract is a key part of that.

Burnout-Proof Your Business: How Boundaries Create Space for Real Success 04/16/2025

Burnout-Proof Your Business: How Boundaries Create Space for Real Success What if the secret to long-term success wasn’t more effort... but better boundaries? In this powerful and personal episode, we’re diving deep into the real talk behind boundaries—what they are, what they’re not, and how they could be the missing link between you and the sustainable business you crave. I open up about my own journey of burning the candle at both ends, convincing myself that if I didn’t push harder, I wouldn’t be able to make ends meet. Like so many high-achieving entrepreneurs, I believed the myth that struggle was a requirement for success. But I learned the hard way: overgiving only leads to resentment. And if we’re not careful, the very dream we’re chasing can become the thing that drains us. Whether you're navigating client expectations, juggling personal responsibilities, or trying to make peace with saying “no” more often, this episode is your permission slip to protect your peace. Because boundaries aren’t just about saying no—they’re about saying yes to the right things. Inside this episode, I’ll walk you through: The biggest myths that keep us stuck in cycles of overextending Simple mindset shifts to start claiming your space unapologetically Practical boundary-setting strategies that actually work The one truth about high-performing people that changed everything for me This isn’t just about business—it’s about building a life that aligns with your energy, your values, and your definition of success.
