Ep 35 | You Say You Want More Money… But Do You Feel Safe Having It?
1w ago00:14:56Tap to summarize🎧 Let’s have a brutally honest conversation about money.Because I think a lot of people believe they want more money…until more money actually starts getting close to them.And I don’t mean in a cute motivational quote kind of way.I mean in a heart-racing, overthinking, self-sabotaging, wanting-to-burn-your-business-to-the-ground kind of way.Because money is deeply emotional.And so many women are trying to grow their income while their nervous system is screaming in the background:“This does NOT feel safe.”In this episode, I talk about:• Why money feels unsafe for so many women in business• The link between your nervous system and your income• How childhood conditioning shapes your relationship with money• Why your body remembers what your brain forgets• The real reason you self-sabotage when things start going well• Why more money can trigger guilt, fear and emotional overwhelm• The danger of trying to “force” yourself into bigger income levels too quickly• Why big income jumps often lead to burnout or income crashes• The importance of building nervous system safety around receiving more• How to stretch your financial comfort zone in a sustainable wayThis episode is your reminder that:✨ You are not lazy✨ You are not incapable✨ You are not “bad with money”Your nervous system is simply trying to keep you safe based on what feels familiar.And if you’ve never experienced consistent money, overflow, wealth or financial safety before… of course your body reacts when it starts getting close.In this episode, I also share:• Practical examples of how to safely increase your capacity for money• Why tiny shifts create bigger long-term expansion• The difference between forcing growth vs holding growth• How to know what level of income actually feels safe for your body right now• Why your pricing strategy must feel safe for YOU firstBecause the goal isn’t to force yourself into expansion.The goal is to create safety around receiving more. ✨I also mention The Aligned Business School - my membership for ambitious women who want to build businesses that feel aligned, sustainable and financially expansive without burning themselves out in the process.Inside the school you’ll find:• Monthly coaching• The Money Course• The Energetic Blueprint• The Aligned Business School Signature Course• Expert support• Nervous system and identity work• Business strategy and implementation supportBecause scaling your income isn’t just strategy.It’s identity.It’s safety.It’s capacity.The Aligned Business SchoolInstagram

The constant noise of the online space. The pressure to “do it right.” The obsession with the perfect strategy. And the way so many women have accidentally outsourced their self-trust.Because when your brain sounds like a group chat with 47 people talking at once… of course your business starts to feel heavy.In this episode, I talk about:• Why overwhelm doesn’t mean you’re incapable• The hidden reason your business suddenly feels “off”• How overstimulation disconnects you from your intuition• Why overloaded brains struggle to make decisions• The danger of constantly consuming business advice online• How women accidentally outsource their self-trust• Why “doing it right” is destroying creativity in business• The truth about alignment and what it actually means• Why the most successful businesses are built differently• The importance of creating space to hear yourself againThis episode is your permission slip to stop trying to build your business based on everybody else’s opinions.Because the women creating the biggest impact and the most fulfilment?They’re usually the women doing things their own way.Inside this episode, I also share practical steps to help you reset:✨ How to do a full brain dump✨ How to identify the people and content causing mental noise✨ Why muting and unfollowing can actually be self-care✨ The importance of making decisions without outsourcing validation✨ How self-trust is rebuilt in businessI also talk about:The Aligned Business School - my membership for ambitious women who want to build businesses that feel aligned, spacious and sustainable.Inside the school you’ll find:• Monthly coaching• Identity work• Energetics• Alignment-based business support• Community• Courses designed to help you build your business YOUR wayBecause this isn’t about becoming another copy-and-paste business owner.It’s about coming back to yourself. ✨The Aligned Business SchoolInstagram

Transcribe →EP 27: The Way I Run My Business Would Make Most Coaches Twitch
Mar 3000:14:29Tap to summarizeIn this episode of The Energetic Shift, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I actually run my business… and why most traditional business coaches would probably have something to say about it.No spreadsheets.No rigid five-year plans.No complicated onboarding systems.No strict lead tracking.And yet… it works.I make serious money.I’ve built multiple businesses.And I’ve been doing this for over a decade.This episode is about understanding that there is no one “correct” way to build a business. There are only ways that work for you… and ways that don’t.I talk about why I’ve built my business around alignment instead of structure, intuition instead of rigid planning, and identity instead of imitation.Because when your business is built around who you actually are, everything changes.You make cleaner decisions.You attract the right clients.You move faster.And it feels lighter.This episode will challenge everything you’ve been told about how business “should” be done… and help you realise that you’re not the problem.You’ve just been trying to build in a way that doesn’t fit you.In this episode, we explore:• Why there is no one “right” way to run a business• The pressure to follow traditional business structures• Why rigid planning doesn’t work for everyone• The difference between alignment and imitation• How identity impacts the way you build and scale• Why some systems feel heavy and draining• The role of intuition in decision-making• Why forcing structure can block growth• How to build a business that feels natural to you• Why alignment will always outperform imitation long-termIf your business currently feels forced, heavy or like you’re trying to follow someone else’s rulebook, this episode will give you permission to do it differently.Join me on Instagram
Transcribe →EP 26: My Feral Nervous System Toolkit
Mar 2300:19:49Tap to summarize🎧 Listen now if you’ve been trying to regulate your emotions the “right” way… and it’s just not working.In this episode of The Energetic Shift, I’m completely tearing up the polished, Pinterest version of nervous system regulation.Because not everyone regulates by journaling, meditating, lighting candles and sitting in silence.And honestly? That doesn’t always work for me either.I’m sharing what my version of regulation actually looks like. The unfiltered, slightly chaotic, very human version.The voice notes.The group chats.The rants.The reality TV binges.The full-on “dummy out the pram” moments.Because regulation isn’t about looking calm.It’s about moving the emotion.In this episode, I talk about why suppressing your emotions is actually what’s keeping you stuck, overwhelmed and exhausted… and why letting yourself fully feel and express them (in a safe way) is what actually brings you back to yourself faster.This is for the woman who feels like she’s doing everything “right”… but still feels dysregulated underneath it all.You don’t need to be more composed.You need to be more honest with yourself.In this episode, we explore:• Why the “perfect” version of nervous system regulation doesn’t work for everyone• The pressure to regulate in a calm, aesthetic, “acceptable” way• Why suppressing emotions leads to burnout and exhaustion• How unexpressed emotions show up in your business and decisions• The power of venting, speaking and moving energy out of your body• Why “feral” moments can actually be healthy regulation• The importance of safe spaces to release emotions• Why you shouldn’t make business decisions when dysregulated• How emotional processing impacts leadership and capacity• What real nervous system regulation actually looks like in practiceIf you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things to stay calm… but still feel overwhelmed underneath, this episode will shift your perspective.Join me on Instagram
