Welcome to The Aura Lab — the podcast for visionaries and new paradigm entrepreneurs called to do life and business differently. To do business from the soul is to redefine everything we've been taught about worth, money, pleasure, and purpose. That is my work here — and if this speaks to you, you're in the right place.

    What if reclaiming your pleasure is the most revolutionary thing you can do right now? In this rich conversation, I sit down with author, somatic psychotherapist, and pleasure educator Carly Mountain to explore eros as a life force, the approaching 2027 Human Design collective shift, and what it truly means to untame our pleasure.

    072. Unlocking Feminine Magnetism in Life & Business with CBS Alumni Miranda Arnold

    This is the final installment (for now!) of my mini-series featuring some of the incredible female entrepreneurs and visionaries who have moved through Conscious Business Salon. In today's conversation, you'll meet Miranda Arnold: copywriter turned girl-with-no-job-title who's actively working on getting paid to exist.  Miranda's story is one of the most profound types of transformation: not just building a different business… but allowing herself to outgrow one entirely. When she entered Conscious Business Salon, she was operating from burnout, hyper-independence, and deep conditioning around struggle equaling worth. What unfolded over the following year and a half was a full identity shift into pleasure, magnetism, nervous system safety, feminine embodiment, and the courage to design life on her own terms. Together, we explore what happens when success is no longer built through force - but through receiving, embodiment, and energetic alignment. In this episode, we explore: The mindset and nervous system patterns that keep high-achieving women stuck in burnout, hyper-independence, and over-efforting How pleasure, slowness, embodiment, and nervous system work become catalysts for magnetism, money, and opportunity The surprising impact of the sisterhood wound on visibility, confidence, and business growth What it actually looks like to trust timing and intuition without forcing clarity or outcomes The permission to evolve beyond a business/identity that no longer fits Miranda's decision to build both passion-led work and passive-income structures that support her freedom and chosen lifestyle Connect with Miranda: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mirandaisa_portal Ready for Conscious Business Salon? Conscious Business Salon is my mastermind for female entrepreneurs who are ready to build success without abandoning themselves — weaving strategy, energetics, identity work, nervous system capacity, and aligned execution into a business and life rooted in truth, pleasure, and power.

Together, we explore Farrah's journey from people-pleasing and overgiving into deep self-trust, energetic authority, and full ownership of her intuitive and mediumship gifts, and how Conscious Business Salon supported her in creating safety to be seen, heard, and expressed in her work and life. In this episode, we explore: What it actually feels like when intuitive and channeling gifts begin to come online The transition from "spiritual curiosity" to full ownership of your intuitive identity What power really is, and why it has absolutely nothing to do with control or force How emotional and ancestral clearing impacts visibility, pricing, and intuitive business decisions Why reclaiming time, space, and energy for yourself actually creates more safety and stability for your family The permission Human Design can offer to move, create, and operate in your natural rhythm What changes when you stop trying to follow rigid business formulas and instead build from intuition and alignment Connect with Farrah: Website: www.theaurreal.co  Podcast: Return to Rhythm Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theaurreal.co Ready for Conscious Business Salon?

    070. How To Use Human Design & Astrology In Daily Life As An Entrepreneur

    Human Design and astrology are two of the most powerful tools for self-awareness and energetic alignment available to us… but they are also two of the most misunderstood. In this episode, I'm sharing what it actually looks like to live with these systems - as languages that give context to your experience, deepen your self-trust, and help you make decisions in a way that is aligned with your natural energy as an entrepreneur. If you've ever wondered how to use Human Design and astrology in a grounded, embodied, real-world way (especially while building a business) - this episode will help you understand how these systems can support your timing, decision-making, creativity, and capacity without bypassing your power. In this episode, we explore: The real purpose of Human Design and astrology, and why they're not meant to predict or control your life The difference between making aligned decisions and outsourcing your authority to spiritual systems Why understanding your design dramatically reduces trial-and-error, comparison, and burnout in business How energetic timing influences creativity, visibility, productivity, and emotional capacity What these systems cannot do for you (and where true personal power still requires choice, embodiment, and responsibility) The real-life astrology example that sparked this episode 🌹 If you feel called to build your business in deeper alignment with your natural energy… Applications are open for Conscious Business Salon: my mastermind for soul-led female entrepreneurs building thriving, sustainable businesses using the integration of Human Design, astrology, deconditioning, and grounded strategy. Inside CBS, you receive: Immediate access to 100+ hours of trainings, protocols, activations, and business frameworks A 1:1 Soul Code Business Session (or 90-minute equivalent) to map your unique energetic blueprint Weekly live coaching calls for 6 months A Monday-Friday Telegram coaching thread for real-time implementation and support Monthly live breathwork sessions + full breathwork vault access A monthly Elemental Business call to align your focus with your personal astrology transits A deeply connected network of women building powerful, soul-led work alongside you Applications close February 13, 2026.

In today's conversation, you'll meet Hope Pedraza: functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, Human Design guide, clinical hypnotherapist, and host of the Hopeful & Wholesome Podcast. We dive into the real-time intersection of the physical body + the energetic/emotional plane, and why "root cause" healing do so with so much more than labs and protocols. In this episode, we explore: What the Healy device is and why frequency medicine is becoming the new normal The shift from "woo woo is weird" to "if you don't understand energy, you're behind" Hope's Human Design (3/5 Sacral Manifesting Generator) and what it taught her about visibility, magnetism, and integrating her "many threads" How deconditioning work allowed Hope to step into her role as a leader of the new health paradigm Why Manifesting-Generators don't have to "pick one thing" - and what happens when you finally stop trying to Why chronic symptoms are your body's last attempt to get your attention after your energetic body has been signaling for years How CBS helped Hope stop separating her spiritual work from her scientific work - and what opened up when she integrated everything Links + Resources Learn more about the Healy: Episode 51: The Future Is Frequency. Listen here.

    068. Neptune & Saturn in Aries: Making Your Dreams Reality

    A massive astrological threshold is officially here: Neptune has moved from Pisces into Aries (January 26, 2026), and Saturn follows (February 13, 2026). In this episode, we explore what it means when two outer planets shift from the final sign of the zodiac (Pisces) into the first sign (Aries) — and why this marks a collective reset that will shape the energetic background of 2026 and the years ahead. This is an initiation out of the cocoon. Out of the dream-only realm. Out of the "one day" loop. And into action, structure, sovereignty, and fire that can actually be held. If you're a spiritual entrepreneur, mystic, artist, visionary, or soul-led business owner, this conversation will help you understand the energetics you're moving through — and how to work with them in a way that supports your impact, income, visibility, and capacity without burning out. 🌹 If you're feeling called to build in this new era...

    067. Are You Using Alignment to Avoid Your Business? (Spiritual Bypassing Explained)

    There's a season in every soul-led path where the cocoon is not only appropriate - it's essential. The healing. The dissolving. The deconditioning. The years where it feels like your full-time job is unlearning everything you were taught about work, worth, and power. But the cocoon is not the destination. In this episode, I'm naming the moment many of us are standing in right now: the threshold where "alignment" can quietly turn into avoidance… and where the work is no longer to heal instead of building, but to become the structure that allows your work to fly. If you've been stuck in start/stop patterns, self-sabotaging the very steps that would let your business grow, or feeling a strange resistance to visibility, money, structure, and responsibility… this is for you. In this episode, we explore: Why so many visionaries get stuck at the edge of expansion Why the physical plane can feel unsafe for intuitive and spiritually attuned entrepreneurs How capitalism, patriarchy, and colonization have distorted our relationship with money, visibility, structure, and responsibility What spiritual bypassing looks like in business (and why it can feel so "aligned") The 5 protector patterns that show up at the threshold of expansion How to stop swinging between force and floating so you can build something real My favorite metaphor for creative energy, and why your vision needs a vessel — 🌹 Please note: This episode may reference time-sensitive opportunities, promotions, or offers that were current at the time of recording.
