  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Honest business advice meets astrology, intuition, and real life for women entrepreneurs who are ready to build differently. Business has been taught like it's a rigid system with one right answer. Follow the framework, hit the metrics, scale the offer. But for most women entrepreneurs, that approach eventually hits a wall… and nobody talks about why. Samantha Fackler has spent 14 years in brand and marketing, and even longer learning what actually moves a business forward. The answer, in her experience, is never just the frameworks — and it's never just manifestation. It's both. Your offer suite and your astrology season. Your pricing psychology and your nervous system. Your systems and your intuition. When those things work together, business stops feeling like a fight and starts feeling like yours. This is the weekly podcast for women entrepreneurs who are ready to build that way. Every week Samantha brings honest solo episodes and real conversations with astrologers, psychologists, Human Design experts, healers, and entrepreneurs who are building businesses that actually fit their lives. Whether you're just getting started, growing fast but feeling off, or successful on the outside and quietly burning out on the inside — this show meets you there. If you've been asking: - Why does my marketing feel so hard when I know I'm good at what I do? - How do I trust my intuition when I have a real business to run? - What is this season of my life trying to tell me about my business? - Why do I feel successful on paper but something still feels off? - How do I grow without it costing me my energy, my health, or myself? - What do astrology, Human Design, and my nervous system have to do with my results? If you answered yes to any of the above — hit follow and get the clarity, confidence, and calm you need to move forward with a business that finally feels like it's working for you. New episodes every Tuesday.

    83. Pregnancy in Your 30s, Egg Freezing, & Postpartum Recovery — An OB-GYN Tells All

    Thinking about kids while building a business? This is the conversation I wish I had before getting pregnant. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Caledonia Buckheit, a board-certified OB-GYN, to break down what you actually need to know about fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum — without fear, fluff, or internet myths.

    82. Why You’re Blending In (Even Though You’re Good at What You Do)

    Comparison might be the thief of joy, but it's also stealing your brand, your momentum, and your ability to stand out! In this episode, I am getting real about the two ways comparison shows up for entrepreneurs: as a safety mechanism that keeps us blending in, or as competitive fire that leaves us burnt out and resentful. Whether you're unconsciously mimicking your "competitors" or feeling the jealousy of watching others succeed, this episode will help you step back, reclaim your unique positioning, and build a business that actually feels like you. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure of your positioning, or like your message isn’t quite landing, this episode will give you a new lens to look through. In This Episode, you'll discover: How comparison shows up in subtle (and unexpected) waysThe difference between “safe” and “competitive” energy in businessWhy you might blend in instead of stand outThe 3 steps to building a strong brandA new way to think about standing out without forcing it The Brand Edit - Self-Paced: Samantha's signature program to help you discover your unique positioning, craft magnetic messaging, and design a brand that feels like you.

    81. Emotions, Mother-Daughter Relationships & Feminine Leadership with Genoveva La Placa

    Emotional intelligence shapes far more than we realize, from how we lead in business to how we relate to the people closest to us. In this episode, Samantha sits down with speaker, executive coach, and CoLab founder Genoveva La Placa to explore the deeper role emotions play in leadership, relationships, and self-awareness. Genoveva shares her journey from CFO of a half-billion-dollar hedge fund to becoming a speaker who helps women understand emotions as messengers instead of problems to fix. Their conversation explores the connection between emotions and the body, why many women are conditioned to suppress what they feel, and how becoming more aware of our emotional landscape can change the way we make decisions in business and life. They also touch on feminine leadership, intuition, and the powerful influence of mother-daughter patterns that can quietly shape how we show up in the world. This episode invites you to rethink emotions... not as something to control or fix, but as something that may have something important to say. In this episode: Why emotional intelligence is one of the strongest predictors of leadership successThe connection between emotions, the body, and decision-makingHow many women are conditioned to suppress emotions, and what that costs usWhat feminine leadership actually looks like in business and lifeHow mother-daughter patterns can shape self-worth, relationships, and leadershipWhy learning to process emotions can change how we lead and communicate Connect with Geno: Website: https://genolaplaca.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bekindandpresent/ 👉 Get Samantha's weekly newsletter to learn more BTS info on what she's learning, experimenting with, and growing from: https://samanthafackler.myflodesk.com Connect with Samantha: DM her on Instagram at @samantha.fackler to share your takeawaysVisit samanthafackler.com for more info about coaching and resourcesSubscribe on YouTube: @confessions-samantha-fackler

    80. Outgrowing Friends, Clients, and Team Members

    There's a moment in every season of growth where you look around and realize — some of the people who were meant for that old version of you... aren't meant for this new one. In this episode, I'm getting honest about what it means to outgrow friends, team members, and clients — and why the part no one talks about is the grief that comes after. Whether it's a friendship that slowly faded, a team member you had to let go, or a client relationship that ran its course, these endings carry weight. And they deserve more than a quick pivot. I'm also sharing the signals I use in my own business to know when something needs to change (including the one that woke me up at 2 AM more than once). If you're in a season of expansion and you can feel the relationships around you shifting, this episode is for you. In this episode: The "cast of characters" framework: why every chapter of your life attracts different people, and why that's by designThe two ways relationships end (and why one of them sneaks up on you)The nervous system signal that tells you it's time to let a team member go, even before your brain catches upWhy I don't stay in client relationships just for a paycheck, and what I do insteadThe grief moment that actually sets you free — and why skipping it keeps you stuck Get Samantha's weekly newsletter to learn more BTS info on what she's learning, experimenting with, and growing from: https://samanthafackler.myflodesk.com Book a 60-Minute Deep Dive with Samantha: https://samanthafackler.hbportal.co/public/659b3f8356ff7d00cc1a0dd7 👉 Get Samantha's weekly newsletter to learn more BTS info on what she's learning, experimenting with, and growing from: https://samanthafackler.myflodesk.com Connect with Samantha: DM her on Instagram at @samantha.fackler to share your takeawaysVisit samanthafackler.com for more info about coaching and resourcesSubscribe on YouTube: @confessions-samantha-fackler

    79. Fertility, Menopause, and the Missing Conversation in Women’s Health with Kristin Hauser

    What if everything you've been told about your cycle, your fertility, and your body's timeline was only half the story? Women’s health is filled with cultural narratives that many of us never question: fertility timelines, pushing through hormonal symptoms, bouncing back postpartum, or dreading menopause. In this episode, Samantha sits down with acupuncturist and herbalist Kristin Hauser to explore a radically different perspective on women’s health rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, somatic awareness, and holistic fertility care. Kristin shares why fertility support shouldn’t begin after months or years of trying, how nervous system health and nourishment impact hormones, and why reconnecting with the wisdom of the womb can transform the way women move through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause. We also talk about the deeper emotional and spiritual themes that arise through motherhood — including surrender, capacity, and learning to trust the body’s intelligence. If you’re navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, or simply want to understand your cycle and hormones on a deeper level, this conversation will open your perspective. In this episode: Why waiting until you're ready to conceive to learn about your fertility might be the biggest gap in women's healthWhy burning yourself out might be the reason your hormones are offHow cultural narratives around fertility, birth, and menopause shape women’s experiencesWhy reconnecting with the body and pelvic space can deepen intuition and wellbeingHow motherhood and fertility journeys often invite surrender, growth, and expanded capacity About Kristin Hauser: Kristin Hauser is an acupuncturist, herbalist, and founder of Womb Medicine. Her work sits at the intersection of Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbal medicine, pelvic health, and somatic education. She specializes in supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and hormonal health, while also mentoring practitioners who want to bring more holistic care into women’s health.

    78. I’m Pregnant! First Trimester Reflections on Entrepreneurship, Identity Shifts & Intuition

    What really changes during the first trimester of pregnancy, especially when you’re also running a business? Not just the physical side of things, but the emotional, spiritual, and identity shifts that have already started happening. Because the truth is, becoming a mother doesn’t just flip on the day a baby arrives. For me, the transformation started the moment I got pregnant. If you’re someone who is pregnant, thinking about becoming a mother one day, or just curious about what women in your life might be going through during this chapter, I hope this conversation helps you feel a little more connected to the process. And yes… I also share the baby’s gender at the end of the episode! In this episode I talk about: What trying to conceive actually felt like emotionallyThe experience that shifted my mindset around pregnancyWhat my first trimester has really been likeThe identity changes that are already happeningHow pregnancy is changing the way I think about businessLetting go of control and learning to trust intuitionThe ripple effects pregnancy can have on friendships and boundariesWhy I’m feeling more connected to my purpose than everAnd the baby’s gender reveal at the end 👉 Samantha shares 3 quick tips weekly in her 1-minute newsletter—straight from the messy, magical middle of entrepreneurship.
