Let's build community care, social responsibility, and allyship into every aspect of your business — not as an afterthought, but as a core foundation. Because business isn’t neutral. The way we sell, market, and structure our offers either upholds oppressive systems or actively works to dismantle them. We’re here to have honest, nuanced, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations about what it really means to run a business that is both profitable and radically principled.

    59. What my 30's taught me

    As I turned 40 recently, I started asking myself what the single biggest lesson of my thirties was — and the answer surprised me. It wasn't a business strategy or a mindset shift. It was about the importance of self-respect in relationships. Listen to hear more about: The difference between self-confidence, self-love, and self-respect What it looks like when someone loves you without needing to control, validate, or fix youThe quiet, almost invisible moments that told me something fundamental had shifted inside meIf you've been pouring yourself into relationships — romantic, professional, friendships — and wondering why some of them feel so heavy while others feel so free, this episode might show you what's actually making the difference.

    58. How to actually get unshakable confidence

    You've been told that confidence is an inside job — go inward, believe in yourself, hype yourself up, and then go do the thing. But what if that kind of confidence is fragile and incomplete?  In this episode, I'm offering a fundamentally different model of confidence — one that you don't have to generate at all. Listen to hear more about: The critical lesson that The Lion King (yes, the Disney movie) teaches about confidence that the entire self-help industry gets wrongThe difference between individualistic confidence and relational confidenceA concrete practice for the next time you're about to do something scaryIf you've been white-knuckling your way through "I believe in myself" and wondering why it never quite holds, this episode will show you what will.

    55. Four questions to ask if you think you might be underpricing

    Here is a completely different way to think about pricing — one that has nothing to do with industry norms or value propositions, and everything to do with what your ancestors planted inside you and what it actually requires to steward that.

    53. Why your excited copy isn't working

    If you’ve ever written copy that felt amazing — full of passion, fire, excitement — only to have it land with a dull thud… this episode is for you. Today Simone breaks down why “I’m so excited!” energy often repels rather than connects, and what to do instead. You’ll learn: The hidden flaw inside passion-driven copy (and why it disconnects you from the person reading)How to shift out of your emotional enthusiasm and into your client’s lived experienceWhy your passion is fuel — but not the messageReal examples of how to transform “I’m passionate about helping ___” into grounded, client-centered languageThe 5-question checklist Simone uses to audit her own copy before publishingThe simplest form of “market research” (that isn’t corporate, gross, or extractive)How to let your passion shine through your work, not through over-excited marketing that confuses your audienceIf your writing feels heartfelt but isn’t converting… if people say your posts are “beautiful” but don’t actually buy… this episode will shift the way you think about communication forever. In this episode, Simone covers: The trap of self-centric excitementHow passion can distort clarityThe difference between information and valueWhy people hire expertise before enthusiasmHow to write copy that speaks to their problem, in their languageWhen passion becomes a bonus — not the hookYour passion is sacred and necessary — but your copy needs to center them, not you. When you do, everything becomes clearer, stronger, and more effective.

    52. What to do when you're cringing at old posts

    If you’ve ever scrolled back through your old posts and wanted to disappear into the floor… this episode is for you. Simone talks about what to do when you're haunted by who you've been on social media: the angry rants, the fake positivity, the performative cool girl era, the MLM hustle days, the silence when it mattered, or just… a version of you that no longer fits. She shares her own evolution online, and why your past does not get to veto your future. You’ll hear about: Why your future owes nothing to your past (and why you don’t need to “get everyone on board” with your changes)How to quietly drop old topics, dynamics, and spaces that no longer feel alignedA loving reminder that nobody is tracking your every move the way your brain thinks they areHow showing up as your current self naturally attracts new people who love this version of youThe radical truth that everyone has been the a*****e in someone’s story—and why that doesn’t disqualify you from leadership, love, or visibilityHow extending more grace to your own messiness expands your capacity to love others as they areThis episode is your permission slip to stop letting your old posts, old choices, or old selves sit in the driver’s seat of your business. You’re allowed to grow. You’re allowed to change. And you’re allowed to start showing up today as the person you actually are now.
