Here’s the #1 reason why you feel heavy & stuck running your business as a weirdo entrepreneur & spiritual creative – even though the world is hungry for your gifts 👇  Since the Industrial Revolution, much of human history has revolved around conquering Nature. But just as species have been hunted to extinction and forests have been leveled to create farmland and factories… the wildness inside you, too, has been suppressed. You’ve been taught that your wildness is unsafe. You’ve distanced yourself from the untamed parts of your soul: your creativity, your prolific ideas, your truest life. But to become the business owner you long to be, you need to unleash your wildness. Regenerative Business creates fertile ground within you to unearth and express your soul purpose. It stewards a version of you that’s fully in bloom. It’s creative, healing, and intentional, and it births a better world for future generations. This podcast will not only help you get in touch with your truest, unrestrained self. It will also help you use the principles of Nature to realign your business with your unique essence for all the abundance, fulfillment, and impact you crave. Tune in with bestselling author, marketing expert, and business coach Sam Garcia for Regenerative Business.

    RBE Success Series: Paula McKinney & Two Years of Revenue in Three Months

    What if the unfinished parts of your business aren’t proof that you’re failing... but clues about the phase you’re currently in? When Pauline McKinney started Be The Data Hero, she had been to business school and had spent 20 years working in the business world. But building her own business left her feeling lost, ashamed, and convinced that she should know more than she did. She tried other people’s systems. She attended networking events that led nowhere. She avoided looking at her numbers because they seemed to confirm her fear that the business wasn’t working. Then she joined the Regenerative Business Ecosystem. Inside RBE, Pauline found a pathway that helped her understand where she was, the systems that gave her business roots, and visibility strategies that actually matched her strengths. Instead of forcing herself to become louder on social media or better at awkward networking events, she began pitching workshops and teaching in spaces where potential clients could experience her expertise. In the first three months of 2026, Pauline made as much revenue as she had during her first two years in business combined. In this episode, we explore: — The difference between being lost and simply being in an earlier phase — Why sustainable growth rarely comes from one magical tactic — How systems can create confidence, capacity, and real roots — Why visibility should be treated as a menu, not a mandate — How Pauline replaced unproductive networking with workshops — Using data to witness and celebrate your progress—not judge yourself — What becomes possible when you stop separating logic from intuition Pauline also shares the philosophy shaping the next era of her work: “Data isn’t king. Your intuition is queen.” She is now combining data, intuition, joy, and celebration to help founders see how far they have come & feel confident enough to imagine what comes next.

    RBE Success Series: AleZandra Kerlin & What to Do When Your Business Outgrows You

    There comes a point in many businesses where it feels easier to burn everything down than keep going. But what if the business isn't actually the problem? In this RBE Member Spotlight episode, I sit down with Zandra—an embodiment coach, hands-on healer, and teacher of voice reclamation and embodied communication—to talk about the season when she almost walked away from her business. Instead of starting over, she chose to build the support, structure, and systems that could finally hold the next version of her work. The result? Her biggest launch yet. But this conversation isn't really about launch numbers. It's about learning how to stay grounded when the sales don't come immediately, recognizing the difference between needing a new business versus a new way of holding your business, and creating sustainable growth without sacrificing yourself in the process. In this episode, we discuss: Why so many entrepreneurs mistake structural problems for "I need to start over"The question to ask before burning your business downHow ritual and nervous system regulation changed the way Zandra workedWhat happened when nobody bought at the beginning of her launchHow she navigated self-doubt without abandoning her strategyThe role community and support played in her biggest launch yetWhy regenerative businesses aren't just about making more money—they're about increasing your capacity to hold your missionWhether you're in the middle of a launch, feeling exhausted by your business, or wondering if you're ready for your next level of growth, I think you'll see a little of yourself in Zandra's story. 🌿 Join the Regenerative Business Ecosystem If you're listening before July 29, 2026 at 11:59pm, you can learn more at: https://learn.thedirtyalchemy.com/ecosystem-2026  If doors are closed, join the waitlist and you'll be the first to hear when we open again.

    RBE Success Series: Paula Parker & Not Needing a Bigger Audience to Make More Money

    What changes when you stop treating your nervous system as collateral damage for growing your business? In this episode, I’m introducing you to Paula Parker, founder of Mindful Shape and a member of the Regenerative Business Ecosystem. Paula helps women become stronger, healthier, and more in charge of their relationship with food. When she joined RBE, her business was already working. She wasn’t at rock bottom or desperately searching for a solution. She thought everything was mostly fine. But after one workshop showed her how much more was possible, she began looking at her entire business through a new lens. A year earlier, Paula had launched a group program and enrolled one person. The experience was so stressful that she closed the cart early because she was convinced no one had joined. This year, after applying what she learned through Somatic Branding, Drool Worthy Offers, Launch Alchemy, and the embodiment work inside RBE, she launched the program again—and enrolled eight people. But the numbers weren’t the only transformation. This time, Paula felt calmer, more grounded, and more capable of staying present throughout the launch. She didn’t have to sacrifice her emotional wellbeing in order to create better results. We also talk about: Why experienced business owners may need a new perspective more than a brand-new strategyHow Paula went from one enrollment to eight in the same group programWhat it looks like to launch without abandoning yourselfHow nervous-system and embodiment work can improve both your marketing and your client deliveryWhy you may not need a bigger audience before you can make more moneyThe simple outreach strategy that helped Paula sign two clients and generate $3,000 within 74 hoursWhy direct outreach doesn’t have to feel awkward or manipulativeHow Somatic Branding helped Paula make her business more creative, exciting, and enjoyable to sellWhy Paula prioritizes the live RBE calls, even with two young children and a full lifeHow she is now mapping her group program, private coaching, funnels, and audiences into a more intentional business ecosystemPaula’s story is an important reminder that most entrepreneurs aren’t failing. They’re often just operating within the limits of what they currently know. Sometimes one new perspective, one better question, or one conversation can completely change the trajectory of your business. Join the Regenerative Business Ecosystem Enrollment for the Regenerative Business Ecosystem is currently open through July 29, 2026. Inside RBE, you’ll get access to the courses, coaching, embodiment practices, templates, and community support designed to help you build a more profitable, sustainable, and regenerative business.

    RBE Success Series: Stephanie Keiko Kong & Building a Regenerative Business for Collective Liberation

    One of my favorite parts of building Regenerative Business Ecosystem has very little to do with teaching. It's getting a front-row seat to some of the most thoughtful, creative, values-driven entrepreneurs I've ever met. So I decided it was time for you to meet them, too. In this conversation, I sit down with Stephanie Keiko Kong — founder of ponyponytail, public speaking coach for collective liberation, community organizer, and one of the most insightful humans inside RBE. What started as a member interview quickly became a much bigger conversation about what it actually takes to build a business that can sustain both your work and your values. Together we explore:  Why entrepreneurs freeze when they look at the backend of their business  The surprising role your nervous system plays in marketing and implementation  Why community is about so much more than networking  The hidden cost of trying to build a business alone  Stephanie's favorite (and most unexpected) part of Regenerative Business Ecosystem  The advice they'd give anyone who's afraid to invest in themselves Whether you're building a business, leading a movement, or simply trying to create something meaningful in the world, I think you'll leave this conversation with ideas that stay with you long after the episode ends. If you'd like to learn more about Regenerative Business Ecosystem, enrollment is open for a limited time through July 29. 🌿 Learn more: https://learn.thedirtyalchemy.com/ecosystem-2026

    Sacred Growth Pt. 4: The Energetics Behind Your Business Growth

    Strategy only gets you so far if the soil you're planting in isn't fertile. In the final part of Sacred Growth, Sam gets into the energetic side of business — your subconscious, your mindset, and yes, a little magic — and how all of it directly shapes what your business is capable of. You'll learn a shadow work process for identifying what's actually blocking your success, practical mindset tools for rewiring limiting beliefs, and a few (surprisingly grounded) magical and energetic practices to support the business you're building. This is the series wrap-up — if this whole training has you thinking about what it looks like to build this out fully, with direct support, that's exactly what Regenerative Business Ecosystem is for.

    Sacred Growth Pt. 3: The 7 Layers Every Regenerative Business Needs

    A real food forest isn't one plant — it's seven layers, all working together. In part three of Sacred Growth, Sam maps those same seven layers onto your business: from your core offers (the tall trees) all the way down to your team (the vines that touch everything). You'll learn what each layer's job actually is — which ones are built for stability, which are built for novelty, and why trying to make one layer do another layer's work is usually where things start to feel off. By the end, you'll have a clear picture of what's thriving in your business ecosystem, and what's missing. Grab the companion workbook to fill in your own seven layers as you listen.

    Sacred Growth Pt. 2: The 3 Types of Forest-Style Business Systems

    Every food forest falls into one of three types — and so does every business. In part two of Sacred Growth, Sam walks through the Oak Savanna, the Recovering Forest, and the Mature Forest: three distinct ecosystem models, each with a completely different rhythm, workload, and marketing strategy. Using your answers from part one's quiz, you'll figure out which type actually matches your goals, your energy, and the kind of business you want to be running three years from now — not the one that looks best from the outside. Missed part one? Go back and take the quiz first — you'll need it for this episode. Want the whole series right now instead of waiting?
