    S2 E10 Recovering Out Loud and What it Takes to Go First with Shannon Kelley

    Shannon Kelley is a life coach, entrepreneur, and the founder of Recovering Out Loud — a movement dedicated to removing the shame and stigma from addiction and sobriety. Drawing from her own lived experience with substance dependency, incarceration, and profound spiritual transformation, Shannon is building a community that makes recovery visible, accessible, and empowering for everyone — whether you're in the thick of it or just getting curious. Shannon Kelley doesn't whisper about recovery. She does it out loud — and she's inviting everyone else to do the same. In this episode, Shannon shares her raw, unfiltered story: from blackout drinking at 15, to addiction, homelessness, and prison, to getting sober and building a business rooted in spirit, connection, and empowerment. What struck me most was Shannon's insistence that shame is the real disease — and that visibility is the cure. This is a conversation for anyone who's ever made a choice they weren't proud of, anyone navigating sobriety in a world that still treats it like a secret, and anyone who believes that community is medicine. IN THIS EPISODE How Shannon went from rock bottom — addiction, homelessness, incarceration — to building a movement rooted in spirit and empowermentWhy shame is the single biggest barrier to recovery, and what happens when people finally see it's safe to come outThe difference between religion and spirituality in recovery, and why AA's "God of your own understanding" changed everything for Shannon (even a door handle counts)What Shannon discovered after five years of solid sobriety — and why she relapsed anyway (this one will make you think differently about what recovery actually requires)The rat park: what a famous experiment about addiction, connection, and environment reveals about what humans truly need to healShannon's vision for a physical space — a nonprofit community hub — where connection replaces substances as the centerpieceWhy you don't have to commit to forever — and how recovery is actually just one daily decision made through small, intentional habitsHeather's own honest reflection on alcohol, clarity, energy work, and what it means to be a clear channel GUEST LINKS & RESOURCES Instagram: @recoveringoutloudmovementEtsy store Spirit of Sobriety: thespiritofsobriety.etsy.comEmail: recoveringoutloudmovement@gmail.com CONNECT WITH HEATHER 🎙️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sacred-boardroom/id1800819041📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theheatherwick (@theheatherwick)💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-wick-8534a76/📰 Substack: https://substack.com/@heatherwick

    S2 E9 How to Build Business Momentum This Summer Without Sacrificing Your Family Adventures

    Episode description: Heather gets honest about the years she got summer completely wrong — taking her hands off the wheel, losing momentum, and starting from scratch every fall. In this episode, she shares the energetic framework she now uses every spring to set her business in motion before summer even begins — so the season becomes presence, not sacrifice.

    S2 E7 Forgiveness, Feminine Wisdom & Cycle Syncing with Janna Fackrell

    What does it actually take to rebuild your life from the darkest place imaginable — and build a thriving, soul-led business from that foundation? This week I'm joined by Janna Fackrell, spiritual coach, retreat facilitator, and founder of Sacred Hearts Healing. Janna survived trafficking in Los Angeles, found her way back to herself through plant medicine, forgiveness work, and spiritual practice — and went on to build a sacred business and life that is nothing short of extraordinary. We go deep on the practices that actually move the needle: two forgiveness tools you can use today, how to use your menstrual cycle (or the moon) as a business planning framework, and the specific shift that helped Janna stop trying to do everything herself. In this episode: Janna's origin story — rock bottom in 2012 and the ayahuasca ceremony that changed everythingWhy forgiveness sets you free, not the other person — and how energetic cord cutting worksTwo forgiveness practices: the University of Santa Monica method (via Janna's mentor Alyssa Nobrigo 🔗) and the Burn LetterWhy self-forgiveness comes first — and how it simultaneously releases the hold on the other personPlant medicine vs. breathwork — an honest comparison from someone who facilitates bothA 60-second grounding practice you can do right nowCycle syncing as a business tool — what each phase is actually built forHow to work with the moon if you're post-menopausal or not currently cyclingThe "is this a 10 for me?" filter — and the three options when it isn'tHow Kate Northrup 🔗 shifted Janna's mindset on asking for helpWhy the feminine doesn't force — and what to do when something feels hard Connect with Janna: Janna's Podcast: Radiate Instagram: @janafackrell Website: sacredheartshealing.org 🎁 Free 1:1 coaching session — DM Janna on Instagram to claim yours Resources mentioned: Alyssa Nobriga — coach who trains coaches, Los AngelesKate Northrup — feminine business advocate and author of Do LessVipassana 10-day silent meditation retreat — dhamma.org

This episode is a love note to every heart-led entrepreneur who’s scared to be seen—but knows she’s here to lead differently. If you’ve ever felt afraid to show up online, worried about being misunderstood, or exhausted trying to “get it right,” this one’s for you.
