If “success” means burnout, anxiety, and questioning why you even started this business in the first place… that’s not success. That’s a slow death of your passion.

You didn’t start your business to follow a bunch of outdated rules written by people who don’t even live the life you want.

In this episode of the Rebel CEO Podcast, I sit down with Elysia Skye—intuitive guide, speaker, and founder of The Brilliance Method—to spill the truth about building a business that fuels you instead of drains you.

Elysia’s story will blow you away. She’s worked with brands like Oprah, L'Oréal and Sony, managed major Hollywood events, and hosted international speaking engagements. But her greatest turning point? The intuitive nudge that led to a cancer diagnosis (and ultimately, saved her life).

We go deep into:

The balance between intention, aligned action, and structure in business
How to use your intuition as your best business strategy
Why identifying hidden emotions—yes, even anger—can unlock your next level of success
Letting go of vanity metrics so you can focus on genuine connection and impact

This is a must-listen for any heart-led entrepreneur who’s ready to ditch outdated business rules, step fully into their power, and create a business that’s as authentic as it is profitable.

Key Takeaways:

- Trust your inner voice—even when external experts say otherwise
- Success comes from alignment, not overwork
- Your emotions hold clues to your next business breakthrough
- Real growth happens when you focus on connection over clout

Notable Quotes:

"Intuition is the path to our highest truth, and taking aligned action with integrity fuels everything that we do."

"When you release the shackles of what really we put on ourselves, you are free."

"Be the lighthouse, not the lifesaver."

"If you won $450 million and you never actually had to make another penny ever again, how would you spend your time?"
