    Letting Go to Grow: The Truth About Firing Clients and Protecting Your Energy

    Firing a client is never easy—and if anyone tells you it is, they’re either lying or numb to the emotional toll it takes. In this episode, I’m getting deeply honest about one of the hardest parts of being a service-based business owner: knowing when it’s time to let go of a client… and actually doing it. Whether it’s energy drain, boundary breaches, or just a gut feeling that it’s no longer aligned, we unpack what to look for, what to ask yourself, and how to walk away with grace, clarity, and peace. Inside this episode, we talk about: How to know when it’s time to fire a client (even the “good” ones)Why letting go is essential to long-term alignment and business growthThe spiritual, emotional, and energetic weight of holding onto misaligned clientsHow to audit your pricing, boundaries, and client fit with honestyThe “client rating system” I’ve used—and why it’s about more than just moneyWhy we can’t people-please our way to sustainable success This is a compassionate, no-fluff conversation about the real stuff behind the scenes of a healthy business. If you're a heart-led service provider struggling to let go of someone who’s no longer a fit, this episode is the reminder that you’re allowed to choose you. 💡 Key Takeaways:You’re not a bad business owner for letting someone go—you’re a wise one.It’s okay to not be the right fit for someone anymore—and to say so with love.Energy leaks often start as subtle nudges.

    The Sacred Art of Spaciousness: Reclaiming Time, Joy & Your Right to Breathe

    What would your life look like if you allowed yourself space—real space—to just exist, rest, and receive? In this cozy, coffee-in-hand conversation, I’m inviting you into a powerful reflection on spaciousness: the intentional pauses we’re often taught to avoid in motherhood, business, and everyday life. This episode is a love letter to women who are tired of earning rest, tired of performing for their worth, and ready to burn down the lie that we must always do more to deserve more. We talk about: The lie we’ve been told (and internalized) about "earning" spaciousnessRecognizing and breaking the default patterns that steal your time and energyLearning how to receive without guilt or apologyLetting go of hyper-productivity and embracing slower rhythmsHow your own joy and rest can ripple out into your family, business, and communityWhy giving yourself permission to pause invites others to do the sameThis episode will remind you that you don’t have to hustle harder to be worthy of peace—and that joy, rest, and play aren’t indulgent. They’re revolutionary. 💡 Key Takeaways:Spaciousness isn’t a reward—it’s a necessity.Your default patterns (like cleaning or caretaking) are not always truth-tellers.Modeling joy and rest teaches your children and partner to do the same.True rest doesn’t cost a dime—it just takes permission.You don’t have to fold the laundry to be a good mom or partner. You just have to be. This week, find just one hour that’s yours. Not for chores. Not for others. Just for you. Fill it with whatever brings you joy—and don’t apologize for it. Hosted on Acast.

    Conquering Doubt: Navigating Disbelief from Others & Setting Boundaries

    In this episode, we dive deep into the tricky terrain of dealing with people who don’t believe in you—whether it’s family, friends, clients, or even other business owners. This is a topic close to my heart, one that I’ve faced head-on in my own journey. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle the energy of people who doubt you, and in this episode, I share how to spot the signs and protect yourself from negativity that can stifle your growth. We talk about: The importance of setting strong boundaries in both personal and professional spacesHow disbelief from others is often rooted in their own insecurities and strugglesRecognizing toxic dynamics in your relationships and knowing when to walk awayNavigating clients who aren’t the right fit for your business and knowing when it’s time to part waysThe value of self-care and understanding that you can’t help others if you’re not helping yourselfBuilding a strong foundation with clients who align with your values and goalsThis episode is a powerful reminder to only surround yourself with people who lift you up—not those who hold you back. It’s okay to disappoint people when you’re staying true to yourself and your business vision. Trust your heart, set those boundaries, and walk away from the ones who just can’t believe in what you’re doing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
