If someone told you that you could get paid to have conversations about what you actually want in life — without funnels, freebie strategies, or obsessive marketing — you might assume it takes luck, a viral post, or a fancy email sequence.

It doesn’t.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Steph DragonHeart Benedetto, founder of The Awakened Business and mentor to conscious entrepreneurs, to unpack how business can follow your desires, inner knowing, and unique way of showing up... instead of the other way around.

We’re talking about why chasing the “perfect niche” can actually block success, the hidden dangers of client-first business models, and how to attract soulmate clients without hype or over-engineered strategies. Steph breaks down what unmarketing really is, why building a business around what you love is sustainable, and how experimenting with your offers and conversations can unlock growth that actually feels fun.

If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to “do it all right” in your business, from chasing trends and following other people’s formulas to obsessing over funnels and content, this episode will give you a new perspective.
