    #52 - How Do You Build a Funnel That Feels Authentic — Not Pressured or Performative? With Alex (S4)

    When you've built the pathway, written the pages, mapped out every step — and your soul still says no — that's not resistance. That's wisdom asking for a better framework. In this power coaching episode, Aimée coaches Alex, a Taoist yoga teacher, Qigong teacher, and psychic medium, through the exact moment her funnel was complete but she couldn't launch it. What unfolds is a masterclass in building a premium buyer pathway that actually matches the depth of your work — without borrowing a structure that was never built for your body, your clients, or the way you lead.    Key Takeaways ⚡ A funnel is not a manipulation tool — it's a nurturing pathway that creates intentional touch points, shifting beliefs and building trust until a "yes" feels inevitable, not forced. ⚡ Pain is not the only thing that sells — desire, possibility, and the next evolution of who your client is becoming are equally powerful, and far more aligned with how premium buyers actually move. ⚡ Safety is not separate from strategy — especially in deep transformational work, the pathway into your offer needs to feel as thoughtful and held as the offer itself. ⚡ You don't need to start from scratch — what you need is clarity on your core premium offer, and a connected ecosystem that leads your soulmate client home to it. About Alex Alex is a Taoist yoga teacher, Qigong teacher, and psychic medium with over 12 years of experience supporting clients online. Originally an occupational therapist specialising in mental health and chronic pain, she healed herself through Taoism and discovered her gifts as a psychic medium.

    #51 - 9 Things I'm Doubling Down On to Stay Irreplaceable in the AI Era (S4)

    In this episode, I share why I believe the AI era isn't something to fear—it's an invitation to lead differently. As information becomes more accessible, trust, embodiment, and genuine connection become your greatest competitive advantage. I walk you through the nine shifts I'm personally making in my business to stay deeply human while leveraging AI strategically, so I can create more impact without losing my voice. If you're ready to build a premium business that stands out because of who you are, not just what you produce, this conversation will show you where to focus next.   Key Takeaways ⚡ Why trust, perspective, and embodiment are becoming more valuable than information in the age of AI. ⚡ How I strategically use AI to amplify my leadership, streamline my business, and create more space for my unique voice—not replace it. ⚡ Why opinion-led content, podcasts, video, and storytelling create deeper connection than endless how-to content ever can. ⚡ How building a connected body of work and trust ecosystem naturally attracts premium clients instead of relying on constant content creation. ⚡ Why real relationships, in-person experiences, and transformational containers will become even more valuable as the online world becomes increasingly automated. ⚡ How nervous system regulation is the foundation for sustainable leadership, premium visibility, and expanding into your next level with confidence.  Relevant Offers from Aimée ✨ Millionaire Breathwork™ Club If this episode reminded you that your biggest edge isn't producing more—it's becoming someone who can hold more—then the Millionaire Breathwork™ Club is where we put that into practice.

    #50 - Rich & Regulated: The Be-Do-Have Shift That Saves You 10 Years (S4)

    I've seen two women walk the same stage for the same million-dollar achievement — and feel completely different doing it. One radiated. One held back. That moment changed everything for me. In this episode, I'm sharing the exact shift that separates the coaches and healers who build rich, magnetic, legacy businesses from those who keep gripping their results and waiting for them to disappear. It's not more strategy. It's not more certificates. It's the be-do-have shift — and it starts with becoming rich and regulated before the results arrive. Key Takeaways ⚡ Why two people can run the exact same strategy and get wildly different results — and what's actually running in the background ⚡ What I witnessed at Freedom Queen Live that gave me the most powerful embodiment lesson of my career ⚡ How imposter syndrome is not a knowledge problem — and what it actually is (and how to dissolve it) ⚡ Why "just being regulated" without the money is not full regulation — and why that matters for your clients ⚡ How Millionaire Breathwork™ shifts your identity in 35 minutes by taking you into a theta-like brainwave state where old beliefs finally move ⚡ The zero self-b******t policy — and how to use it to audit your own content, energy, and standards Relevant Offers from Aimée ✨ Rich & Regulated Breathwork Experience (July 16th) — A 75-minute live Millionaire Breathwork™ session dedicated entirely to this theme. Your nervous system won't just hear about regulation — it will practice it. DM me "REGULATED" on Instagram (@aimeedrost) before July 16th, or find the link in the show notes. Replay access for 30 days. ✨ Millionaire Breathwork™ Club — If one session moves you, imagine going deeper every month. This is where we do the identity work that makes your strategy actually land.

    #49 - Why Do Some People Seem Like an Obvious Yes… But Still Don’t Move Forward? - With Jonas Wolf (S4)

    Have you ever looked at someone you care about and thought, "My work could completely change their life"—yet they still hesitate to take the next step? In this Power Coaching episode, I coach Jonas, a purpose strategist and leadership coach, through one of the biggest challenges heart-led coaches face: knowing when to serve and when to let go. We explore why readiness matters more than potential, how to avoid slipping into the rescuer role, and what it really means to build a premium client journey that empowers people to choose transformation for themselves. Key Takeaways ⚡ Why premium clients buy from readiness—not because they need convincing. ⚡ How to recognize the difference between serving someone and trying to rescue them. ⚡ Why separating friendship from business creates healthier relationships and stronger client results. ⚡ How a clear premium buyer pathway helps the right people confidently say yes. About Jonas Jonas is a purpose strategist and leadership coach who helps leaders navigate life transitions and step into their next chapter of purpose, career, and impact. Based in Bali, he works with leaders across Asia and Europe, drawing on more than a decade of experience in the startup ecosystem.

    #48 - 5 Reasons You’re Still Undercharging for Powerful Work (S3)

    If you've been telling yourself you need more confidence, more certifications, or more experience before you can charge premium prices, I want to lovingly challenge that belief. In this episode, I share the five real reasons powerful practitioners stay stuck undercharging—and why it's often not an identity problem at all. It's about building an offer, messaging, and client journey that truly reflect the transformation you create. My hope is that you leave this episode seeing that premium pricing isn't something you earn—it's something you build the foundation to hold. Key Takeaways ⚡ Why selling transformation instead of time changes everything. ⚡ How to create an offer you're genuinely excited to sell. ⚡ Why your mentor's pricing doesn't have to become your ceiling. ⚡ How empowered messaging attracts committed clients instead of those looking to be rescued. ⚡ Why premium pricing requires a stronger container—not more proving.

    #46 - Why People Love Your Work But Still Take Months to Buy (S3)

    If you have people who adore your content, binge your podcast, save every post, and tell you, “I’ll work with you someday” — but that someday never seems to arrive — this episode is for you. In this conversation, I share why the issue is rarely your pricing, your audience, or the quality of your work. More often, it’s that your business is missing the architecture that turns admiration into investment. I dive into the difference between being loved and being understood, and why premium buyers need a clear pathway before they’re ready to say yes. If you’re ready to stop collecting internet besties and start building a premium business by design, this episode will shift the way you think about sales forever.  Key Takeaways ⚡ Why attention, engagement, and praise do not automatically translate into sales ⚡ The hidden gap between “I love your work” and “I’m ready to invest” ⚡ How to create a clear buyer pathway that leads people into your premium offers ⚡ The difference between content that gets applause and content that creates buyers ⚡ Why “love bomb launches” often create hype without creating conversions ⚡ How to build a premium business with structure, leadership, and long-term momentum Relevant Offers from Aimée ✨ Millionaire Breathwork™ Club Your next level isn't created through strategy alone.

    #45 - How Do I Rebuild a Sustainable Business Without Pressure or Survival Mode? - With Ilse Ruijgrok (S3)

    You've done the inner work. You have the experience, the methodology, the proof. So why does rebuilding still feel so heavy? In this raw and real power coaching session, Aimée sits down with Ilse Ruigrok — a master hypnotherapist with nine years in the transformational space — who is in the middle of her own rebuild party. Together, they uncover why doing more is actually what's keeping her stuck, and what it really looks like to lead from clarity instead of chaos. If you're craving stability in your business but refuse to create it from pressure, this one is for you. Key Takeaways ⚡ You don't have to rebuild the same way you built before — stability gets to look like leadership, not survival.  ⚡ That inspired idea pulling at you right now? It might be productive procrastination in disguise.  ⚡ When your offer messaging leads with features instead of transformation, even the right clients won't feel ready to say yes.  ⚡ Asking for support isn't weakness — it's the move that actually breaks the pattern of holding everything alone. About Ilse Ruigrok Ilse is a master hypnotherapist from the Netherlands with nine years in the transformational space and over 100–300 clients served through her signature two-month program. She helps people reconnect with their authentic selves and live fully from that place.
