    S1E6 | The highly sensitive coach's guide to thriving (not just surviving) in business

    🌼Welcome to Episode 6 of The Wildflower Way 🌼 There was a time when I believed rest was an indulgence. That if I wasn’t constantly pushing, I was failing. That I needed to be ‘stronger’ to make it as a coach and a business owner.  But then I learned the truth: For highly sensitive people, rest isn’t a luxury. It’s oxygen.  In this episode, I’ll share how I went from burnout to balance, from forcing myself to fit into mainstream business models to creating a way of working that actually nourishes me. And if you’ve ever wondered, ‘Can I really thrive as an HSP coach?’—this one’s for you. Stay with me until the end for a special gift: a reading of Wild Geese by Mary Oliver, a poem that feels like a home coming for the soul.  🌿 Join my Wildflower Letter (free and loved by 4,000 readers worldwide): milenanguyen.com/letter 🌺 Read the article: https://milenanguyen.com/blog/2022/the-sensitive-coach-guide-to-thriving-not-just-surviving-in-business #Podcast #ChasingDreams #Entrepreneurship #Calligraphy #Creatives #Arts #SoulfulBusiness #Resilience #Meditation #Flow

    S1E5 | Why talented coaches and creatives stay broke (and how to change that)

    🪻Welcome to Episode 5 of The Wildflower Way🪻 So many of us believe that if we love what we do, we shouldn’t charge for it. That art, creativity, and coaching should be given freely.  But what if that very belief is keeping you from doing the work you’re meant to do in the world? In today's heart-centered episode, I share a story about Grace, a gifted calligraphy artist who unknowingly turned away the very people who wanted to learn from her. And if you’re a coach or business owner, this might just hit closer to home than you expect. Stay with me until the end of this episode for a special experience: The Intentional Ink Practice - a meditation and calligraphy ritual to help you anchor into your deepest desire for your coaching business.  Pour yourself a cup of hibiscus tea, find a quiet corner, and let’s wander down this path together. 🌿 Join my Wildflower Letter (free and loved by 4,000 readers worldwide): milenanguyen.com/letter 🌺 Read the article: http://milenanguyen.com/blog/2022/why-talented-coaches-and-creative-stay-broke-and-how-to-change-that #Podcast #ChasingDreams #Entrepreneurship #Calligraphy #Creatives #Arts #SoulfulBusiness #Resilience #Meditation #Flow
