As I am in India right now, I’ve decided to pull back the curtain on a recent coaching session with my coach, Liz Kimball, to give a raw and deep behind-the-scenes look at my business. This was last month during the Ancestor Fortnight when I was at home with my family after my dad had major surgery. There was a LOT going on for me, so you are getting an unprocessed, unfiltered look at my vulnerabilities. Why am I doing this? I want to be completely transparent about where I am and how this current process looks for me. I wouldn’t be where I am without the coaching programs and support I have invested in, and I want to help you in the same ways that my coaches help me.

You are in for a treat in today’s episode! I’m sharing a clip from a teaching given by my dear friend and former podcast guest, Rachael Ferrera. She teaches about healing and the power of letting go of competition and becoming more of ourselves and our businesses through tapping into self-love, trust, and intuition. This clip is from a class that she delivered in one of my group programs, and I wanted to share it here because Rachael is amazing and inspiring. Last year, she had an episode of sepsis that almost took her life. As her friends and support, many of us have been rooting her on and trying to help her as she heals. A GoFundMe has been a lifeline to help with her medical bills and recovery, but it’s still about $5000 short of her goal. If you get something out of this episode and want to help Rachael, find the GoFundMe link in our Resources section and please support Rachael. She’s someone who wears many hats with her work as an actor, singer, transformational speaker, spoken word poet, and Reiki Master Practitioner.

Today’s episode is all about the wisdom of the Enneagram, which is a system of transformation that classifies human personality into nine basic types. I’ve been fascinated, maybe even low-key obsessed, with this self-evaluation tool for about a decade. Even though it isn’t central to the work I do with clients, I use it to support myself in my self-observation practice.&nbsp;My guest is the ideal person to help us understand this interpersonal tool that she uses in her work. Join us to learn more!Holly Krepps is a former client of mine and the founder of Circle Yoga Shala. She is an internationally accredited yoga therapist and a facilitator of the West Wisdom Enneagram. She is an alumnus of Father Richard Rohr’s three-year Living School, a non-dual-based wisdom school in conjunction with his Center for Contemplation and Action in Albuquerque, New Mexico.Holly has facilitated Enneagram groups seeking an authentic relationship with self and others for the past 16 years. In her own words, “I lead a full and content life resulting from fearless, sensitive living and radical acceptance of what is. If a way of ‘being’ has culminated or been reinforced by my engagement with Yoga, the Enneagram, and other perennial teachings, it is that of surrender. Surrender to the Divine and to what is happening in each moment and maintaining a felt connection to Self is the opposite of getting lost in mechanical action as the basis for joy and peace in the midst of this beautiful play of MA(ya).” Holly previously joined the show for Episode 55, Saying Yes to Reality.&nbsp;Show Highlights:Holly’s explanation of the Enneagram as “much more than a personality tool”Why the Enneagram is a mysterious wisdom and ancient teaching about how the cosmos worksHow figuring out Holly’s Enneagram number has helped her understand her stress reactions and her “survival operating system”Why all of us can be multi-dimensional with more than one number on the Enneagram because of the natural movement in our livesHow self-observation helps us “see through” our fixations and reclaim our power around themHow knowing her Enneagram number has helped Holly with business successWhat Holly recommends for those just starting with the wisdom of the EnneagramAn overview of Holly’s course, programs, and offeringsResources and Links:Connect with Holly KreppsWebsite&nbsp;Circle Yoga ShalaBooks Mentioned in this episodeFrom Fixation to Freedom by Eli Jaxon-BearThe Wisdom of the Enneagram by Don Richard Riso and Russ HudsonHelen Palmer’s booksSign the 2K for Change Pledge, committing as a spirit-led entrepreneur to giving $2000 to causes in 2024 in both cash and/or services.

Are you using ChatGPT in your business? I’ve been connecting with many of you on Instagram about this topic, and it seems that many business owners are steering away from using ChatGPT because it’s perceived to be opposed to the values of creating connection and supporting overall humanity.I think this perception is based on a misunderstanding of how to actually use this tool.

Do you want to know more about accessing your intuition? This episode is about using your intuition as a powerful insight to know what to do next and how to work with the energy of Saturn to overcome obstacles. Join us to learn more!I’m joined by my friend, mentor, and client, Dr. Robert Svoboda. He is an expert in his knowledge of the Vedic sciences from the traditional Indian teachings, and it is an honor to have him on today’s show to teach us about working with Saturn.

As the planet that holds and unfolds our karma, Saturn is an important planet to understand.

Today’s episode is a rich and beautiful conversation with my guest, Meghan Thomas, about entrepreneurship, pivoting, intuition, and more. Join us to hear insights and wisdom from Meghan!Meghan Thomas is a podcast host and serial entrepreneur who believes in following her intuition, which has allowed her to pivot her business over the years. Her latest intuitive nudges led her to create the Emotional Expedition podcast, which was born out of the many challenges she has experienced in her life. When she understood that emotions and trauma get stuck in the body and show up in various forms of disease, she realized that stuck emotions require work to move them through the body. The process begins with an awareness of what we are feeling in the first place and doing the work from there. Meghan opens up as she shares the ups and downs in her story that have brought her where she is today.&nbsp;Show Highlights:How Meghan’s entrepreneurship began by taking early leadership roles in school and starting her wedding photography business after collegeHow a medical misdiagnosis of Crohn’s disease and surgery left her debilitated and in/out of hospitals for about a yearHow her medical challenges gave her a greater drive, a sense of purpose, and an understanding that life cannot be wastedHow Meghan made two major pivots around her expanding, but niching down, business through her intuition and desire for alignmentWhat Meghan’s birth chart shows about her sense of self, emotions, work, and energyHow Meghan “burned the boats” of her wedding photography business to follow her intuition into teaching yoga, leading women’s retreats, and coaching womenHow a social media detox made things quieter and her intuition louderWhy Meghan started her podcast and course, Emotional ExpeditionHow she realized she had unprocessed trauma and emotions that she needed to moveHow Meghan learned to manage her relationship with fear and perfectionismHow she learned to have healthy boundaries in business and her personal lifeWhy it is important to be vulnerable and share your storyHear Meghan’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, morning routine, and what books she’s reading/recommending.Resources and LinksConnect with Meghan ThomasWebsite, Emotional Expedition podcast, and InstagramBooks mentioned by MeghanBig Magic, by Elizabeth GilbertAtlas of the Heart, by Brené BrownGet more info about the 2023 Vibrancy Retreat, an astrology and ayurveda retreat to rejuvenate, go deep into your personal astrology, and plan together for the year ahead.

We all must deal with our emotions and experiences, but some people do it better than others. Today’s guest knows what it’s like to struggle, scramble, and “hide in plain sight.”&nbsp; Fortunately, she emerged from the darkness through deep healing and transformation, and she’s devoted to helping others find their way out by being brave and stepping outside the shadow of their own fear. Join us to learn more!My guest is Iona Holloway, the founder of Soul Breathwork and the best-selling author of Ghost: Why Perfect Women Shrink.

The word “home” means many different things that bring a wide range of feelings, depending on your experience. You may see that home is the keyword for today’s episode and the conversation with my lovely guest. Join us for this conversation that is full of light and warmth.&nbsp;Genevieve Walker is a violinist and composer who grew up in a musical household in which the sound of tuning a violin became synonymous with home. She lived in the classical music world for many years before traveling the world as a young adult. She was influenced by different cultures and approaches to music and began weaving these influences into her playing. Having toured internationally as a violinist, Genevieve has seen the world through the perspective of the stage. Perhaps she is most known for her long-time accompaniment for Krishna Das, with whom she has recorded and performed extensively. Genevieve composed her first solo album, Walking Home, while pregnant with her first son. Two kids and some life later, she has completed her second solo album, Home Songs. This album is a shift in her orientation, drawing upon the sounds and melodies of everyday life to express a collective ode to the longing and cultivation of home. Home Songs is a musical exploration of finding home and the people we love. In addition to being a violinist, Genevieve is a certified yoga teacher and a licensed psychotherapist. She views her approach to these disciplines as a way to unwind deeper into ourselves and untie the home that exists within us all. In this conversation, we talk about what it is like to have a long-term relationship with an instrument and her journey to playing the violin. She discusses the idea of home and what it means to her, along with how motherhood has influenced her music, and she shares how she came to meet Krishna Das and ended up playing music with him.&nbsp;Show Highlights:Why Genevieve was inspired as a young child to start to play the violinWhy the concept of “home” has been a preoccupation for Genevieve in her spiritual journeyHow Genevieve’s chart aligns perfectly with her path and her craving for homeHow she has learned to balance creativity and motherhoodHow she met and began playing with Krishna DasHow playing kirtan and classical differ for GenevieveGenevieve’s new project: writing melodies for the 21 Tara mantrasHow music and creativity can help support mental health&nbsp;What it means to Genevieve to live in her purposeHear Genevieve’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding practices, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, an inspiring person, something people might not know about her, what she’s reading right now, and what’s bringing her joy.Resources and Links:Connect with Genevieve and her music: Website and FacebookMentioned by Genevieve: Sri Siddhi Ma&nbsp; by Jaya PrasadaDon’t miss this exciting opportunity!

We have discussed the upcoming eclipses in past episodes, but I wanted to get more specific since they are just around the corner. Since eclipses often come in pairs, the in-between time can get sticky. Let’s talk about how these energies affect our lives and businesses and how we can make the most of this time. Join me now!Show Highlights:An explanation of the eclipses and the retrograding nodesWhy this time has the quality of moving things backward to disrupt existing patterns and create powerful shiftsHow this energy can propel us forward with innovative thinking–IF we are intentionalThe first eclipse on October 25 is a solar eclipse and the new moon; in the lunar constellation Swati, this energy is about receiving information, creating force, and being open to newness and freshness.My advice for the period between October 25 and November 8:As a business owner, avoid important decisions, contracts, and hiring new people during this time.Since karmas come to the surface to be dealt with, it’s important to focus on practices to ground yourself, remain calm, and give yourself grace.Eat well, rest well, and be slower about making decisions.This period is a great time for visioning, journaling, and taking in all the new ideas that come to you.The second eclipse is a lunar eclipse on November 8; it is a deep, ponderous, receptive, and creative container for an intense and powerful chakra.Why the placement of this period is about catharsis, like a death to bring rebirth and a release to allow something to be rebornWhy this in-between period is a time for reflection and inner work and requires us to be grounded and intentional during this shifting timeMy advice: “Tap into your creative side and allow your new ideas to be born after November 8. Don’t fear the strong energy of the eclipses and remember that their goal is to eliminate obstacles and difficulties. Embrace the process and become even clearer about your purpose.”Resources: Join the Weave Your Bliss newsletter for exclusive Resonance Love Letters– sign up here.Check out my mini-course, The Planets, and Your Business: www.weaveyourbliss.com&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you a spiritual business owner?

We are talking about dharma, artha, kama, and moksha, which are the four aims of life according to the Indian wisdom teachings. I’ll discuss each one and put them in context for you as a business owner, including why your business should tap into all four. Join me to learn more!Show Highlights:The four aims of life:Dharma, which represents justice, righteousness, and balance, means sharing your particular gifts. It correlates to the first 25 years of life.&nbsp;Artha is about acquiring material wealth so we can take care of our responsibilities and generally covers life from 25-50 years.&nbsp;Kama is about enjoyment, which is just as important as dharma and artha. It roughly correlates to ages 50-75.Moksha is about release, which means setting aside material things to finish untying your karmic knots, releasing things you no longer need, and preparing for death in honor of the cycle of life. If we are lucky, this correlates to ages 75-100.&nbsp;How these four periods can happen concurrently, with none of them being more important than the othersWhy spiritual entrepreneurs have the opportunity to include all four aims and not focus solely on artha and business buildingHow each of the four aims is at work in your business:Dharma is your reason for doing what you are doing–your WHY.Artha, infused with dharma, inspires us to give back and make more impact as we grow our bottom line.Kama is where we derive our inspiration; it’s essential to prevent burnout.Moksha is all about “the bigger picture.” It is about legacy, taking time away for retreat, and knowing what really matters.&nbsp;If these four aims resonate with you and the kind of business you desire to build, please join Your Magnetic Blueprint today!Resources:The doors are closing on Thursday (9/22) for this round of Your Magnetic Blueprint, my eight-week accelerator for Spiritual Entrepreneurs.
