  1. From Disconnection & Emotional Inflammation to Soul-Aligned Businesses with Annore & Kellie

    From Disconnection & Emotional Inflammation to Soul-Aligned Businesses with Annore & Kellie

    Join me for an incredibly inspiring conversation with Annore and Kellie, two powerhouse women from the recent Holistic Career Change Group who courageously listened to that inner voice whispering "there has to be more than this." We dive deep into the physical and emotional toll of career misalignment - from what Annore calls "emotional inflammation" to the Sunday scaries that signal our nervous system's response to work that doesn't fit our soul. In this raw and honest discussion, we explore the limiting stories we tell ourselves about why we can't change ("my skills only work in this industry"), the unexpected challenge of loved ones who resist our aligned path, and what it really takes to build a soul-centered career after decades in traditional roles. You'll also hear about their exciting new businesses that light them up from the inside out, plus the messy, non-linear reality of manifesting your vision into existence.  ABOUT ANNORE Annore is an endlessly curious, multifaceted guide weaving a soulful online space to share the wealth of insight she's gathered, lived, and lovingly applied over the years.  Annore is the creator of an Aligned Parenting by Design where she blends over 25 years of nannying experience with Human Design to support parents in raising children with presence, care, and deep energetic understanding. Her other offering, Unfold and Align, introduces Human Design as the first pillar in a growing body of embodiment practices — creating gentle, grounded tools to help others return to their rhythm, their truth, and their inner steadiness in a world that so often pulls us away.

    Authenticity, Self-Acceptance, and Building a Business as a Multipotentialite with Rebecca

    In this week's episode, I'm joined by Rebecca, a graduate of my Holistic Career Change group program, who shares her powerful transformation from people-pleasing perfectionist to someone who makes aligned decisions through her body's wisdom. Rebecca opens up about being a "serial class taker" with too many interests and no clarity, and how a vivid childhood memory shaped years of climbing the professional ladder solely for approval and validation. We explore Rebecca's journey of learning to tune into her "loud body" as an internal navigation system, discovering her identity as an emotional projector, and shattering limiting beliefs about being bad at decision-making and never finishing things.  She shares practical insights about setting boundaries at work, asking for help, overcoming shiny object syndrome, and building self-awareness to course-correct when slipping into old patterns. Rebecca also discusses launching her beautiful multipotentialite business, moving through comparison mode, and learning to build an aligned venture in strategic phases while honoring how all her past experiences now weave together perfectly to support her new path. ABOUT REBECCA Rebecca is the Creator, Editor, and Curator of Compassionate Contrarian, a website and blog dedicated to cultivating knowledge and power in changemakers, wellness seekers, and curious souls.
