    Second Act Female Founders — Live from Little Beach House Malibu

    In this bonus episode of The Alchemy of Success, we bring you a live panel conversation recorded at Little Beach House in Malibu, featuring a group of founders in what many would consider their “second act.” This conversation explores the realities of building and rebuilding — career pivots, trusting intuition, setting boundaries, and redefining success beyond traditional markers such as money, status, or external validation. Each founder shares their own path, offering a grounded look at what it takes to navigate entrepreneurship in a way that is both sustainable and self-honoring. Across the panel, themes of inner work, resilience, and non-linear growth emerge — alongside honest reflections on failure, timing, and the decisions that shape both business and life.

    Sarah McCrum, Author of Love Money, Money Loves You, on Money, Energy, and a Different Relationship to Wealth

    In this episode of The Alchemy of Success, author Sarah McCrum joins me for a conversation that explores our relationship with money through the lenses of energy, intuition, and awareness. We move beyond traditional conversations around money mindset and into a more nuanced understanding of how money operates within both business and life. Sarah shares her perspective on money as an energetic exchange, and how fear, control, and unconscious patterns can shape financial outcomes in ways many founders don’t initially recognize. We also discuss her book Love Money, Money Loves You, and the experiences that led her to write it — including business challenges, personal shifts, and the process of developing a more conscious and grounded relationship with wealth. This conversation offers an alternative way of thinking about money, one that integrates well-being, intuition, and long-term sustainability into how we build and grow. In this episode, we explore: Rethinking money mindset through the lens of energy and awarenessHow fear and control can shape financial decisions and outcomesThe relationship between intuition and wealth creationBuilding a more conscious and sustainable relationship with moneyIntegrating well-being into business and financial growthTimestamps: 00:00 Podcast Intro01:00 Episode Intro05:07 Introduction to Money as Energy08:06 The Journey of Writing Love Money, Money Loves You11:06 Experiencing Business Failure and Channeling Messages14:10 Applying the Book’s Principles in Real Life17:00 Transforming Relationships with Money20:00 The Role of Well-Being in Wealth Creation23:13 Real-Life Success Stories from Coaching25:58 Key Principles for a Healthy Relationship with Money29:16 Understanding Wealth Beyond Money32:05 The Intersection of Money and Spirituality34:57 The Impact of the Book on Readers38:06 Conclusion and Final Thoughts45:30 Season Two Wrap-Up and Future Insights Resources Mentioned:Love Money, Money Loves You by Sarah McCrum GuestSarah McCrum is an author and speaker focused on transforming how individuals and founders relate to money, integrating principles of energy, awareness, and well-being into financial growth and decision-making.

    IN SESSION: Unpacking imposter syndrome & fundraising.

    In this episode of The Alchemy of Success, our guest joins us for an In Session episode where we explore the deeper layers shaping her feelings around self-worth in the fundraising process as a founder. The conversation also touches on the realities of raising capital as a female founder, and how internal patterns can influence investor relationships and decision-making. We move through the challenges she’s faced in raising capital, and how dynamics with investors, men, and even family begin to mirror internal patterns around worthiness, approval, and belonging. The conversation opens up a broader look at how these patterns can shape decision-making, negotiation, and leadership. Through the lenses of astrology, subconscious patterning, and business strategy, we unpack what it looks like to shift those dynamics — from proving to choosing, from overextending to holding clear boundaries, and from external validation to inner authority. This is a nuanced conversation about the intersection of personal history and business — and what becomes available when those two are brought into awareness. In this episode, we explore: The emotional and relational dynamics that can surface when raising capital How patterns with family and early relationships show up in business The role of boundaries in investor and partnership decisions Moving from external validation to internal authority Using astrology as a tool for self-awareness and pattern recognition Timestamps:00:00 Guest Clip00:18 Podcast Intro00:54 Episode Intro03:14 And the session begins09:05 Exploring Worthiness and Imposter Syndrome15:18 Understanding Family Dynamics and Their Impact21:10 The Role of Inner Authority in Self-Worth27:21 Gender Dynamics in Business and Fundraising29:21 Navigating Gender Dynamics in Professional Spaces32:36 Proving Worth: The Intersection of Gender and Relationships34:51 Investors and Personal Connections: The Importance of Vibe37:50 Choosing Your Path: Empowerment in Relationships and Investments41:05 Healing Patterns: Codependency and Boundaries43:26 Setting Healthy Boundaries: A New Approach46:27 The Importance of Self-Awareness in Investor Meetings52:14 Lessons Learned: Growth Through Experience55:43 Outro Resources Mentioned: Cues: Master the Secret Language of Charismatic Communication by Vanessa Van Edwards HOST: Trinity Rose — Integrative Business Strategist and Advisor to early-stage founders Website: illumeconsultingstudio.com Instagram: @illumeconsultingstudio IN SESSION CO HOSTS: ⁠Gabrielle Perez ⁠— therapeutic astrologer ⁠Shannon Kim⁠ — Intuitive & Certified hypnotherapist PRODUCED BY Producer: Quentin Self Executive Producer: Alicia Lui SPONSOR This episode is brought to you by Lavender & Truffles — a modern wellness brand creating plant-based, dairy-free ice cream made with clean ingredients and thoughtful sourcing.

    David Dayan Fisher on What Remains After the Applause — A Reckoning with Success and Happiness

    In this engaging conversation, Trinity Rose, Brand, Marketing + Business Strategist, interviews David Dayan Fisher—an evolutionist, actor, author, and artist—on his path from a troubled childhood in England, through London’s club scene, to pursuing his dreams in Hollywood, and ultimately finding inner peace through spiritual psychology. David reflects on the impact of childhood trauma, family dynamics, and the pursuit of external validation, alongside the lesser-discussed emotional and psychological complexities that can accompany visibility and success. He speaks candidly about fame, personal loss, and the inner reckoning that led him toward emotional healing, spiritual inquiry, and a redefinition of success rooted in alignment rather than achievement.
