Have you ever walked into a room—real or virtual—and instantly felt like you didn’t belong?

Maybe you worried you weren’t experienced enough.

Or that everyone else had it more “together” than you.

Or that you’d come off too much… or not enough.

That’s imposter syndrome. That’s insecurity. And if you’re a coach, expert, or service-based business owner, these sneaky mindset patterns can quietly sabotage your visibility, income, and confidence—no matter how talented or qualified you are.

In this episode, I’m sharing how to move through imposter syndrome and step into what I call your I’m a Big Deal energy—because that’s what it takes to grow a coaching or service-based business that’s profitable, impactful, and aligned with your purpose.

This conversation was inspired by a retreat I just attended where I showed up as me—fully expressed, grounded, and in my power—and walked away with incredible opportunities. Not because I was faking it, but because I owned my Genius Edge and allowed myself to be seen.

Inside the episode, I share:

• How insecurity shows up in entrepreneurship (and why it’s not just a “newbie” thing)
• What it really looks like to lead with your confidence and clarity—without ego or performance
• Why your mindset and energy matter more than your business cards, website, or follower count
• How to prep yourself to show up powerfully at events, workshops, networking, and even online
• Why community, collaboration, and being in the room are essential for sustainable growth
• My favorite mindset practice for stepping into your “big deal” energy before you show up

This is a must-listen if you’re ready to stop playing small, start showing up fully, and finally own your place in the world as a coach, healer, or creative entrepreneur.

You don’t need to become someone else to grow your business.

You just need to claim the version of you that’s already ready.

And YES—we’re going to help you step into that version of yourself at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE: Your Genius Edge, happening October 17 & 18 in NYC.

This episode will show you why being seen matters—and how to start showing up as the leader you already are.

In this solo episode, I’m talking about something that most business owners don’t do enough, but absolutely need to if they want to grow a sustainable, profitable, and fulfilling business:

✨ Actually taking the time to work ON your business, not just in it.

It’s so easy to stay caught in the loop of delivering, posting, reacting, and trying to keep up. But building a business you love—that reflects who you are, pays you well, and lets you make the impact you’re here to make—requires you to step back, take a breath, and look at the big picture.

Because your business? It’s not static.

It’s always evolving.

You’re always evolving.

And if you’re not giving yourself the time and space to reflect, vision, create, and adjust, you’ll stay stuck in busy mode, wondering why things aren’t flowing.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why your business needs you to step back and do the deeper work
• What it really means to “work ON your business” and how to make time for it
• The role your money mindset plays in your evolution (and what to watch for)
• How to connect with your genius edge and create from that version of you
• What to do when your offer, message, or audience starts to feel off
• Why content, community, and creativity are at the heart of long-term success
• And how I think about growing, pivoting, and leading in my business

I’m also giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how I’ve been working ON my business lately—where I’m evolving, what I’m creating, and why I’m inviting you to come be in the room for what’s next.

Passionate & Prosperous LIVE: Your Genius Edge is happening October 17 & 18 in NYC—and this episode will give you a taste of the energy, clarity, and creativity we’ll be tapping into together.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge that something needs to shift—or you’re ready to reconnect with your purpose, passion, and power—this one’s for you.

In this episode, you get to listen in on a real coaching session with one of our Passionate & Prosperous listeners who applied to be coached on the show!

Meet Cathy Fitzgerald—a newly certified coach with a rich, creative background as a yoga and dance studio founder, professional photographer, and longtime entrepreneur.

Cathy came into our session knowing her niche probably wasn’t clear or specific enough. She had a general idea that she wanted to work with midlife women—but like so many other coaches who say the same thing, she wasn’t sure what that really meant or how to stand out so she wasn’t really offering her services or talking about her coaching business much at all. She knew she needed to get her messaging dialed in so that she could start to market herself and attract ideal clients but felt stuck trying to figure out what that actually looked like.

So we got to work!

In this episode, you’ll hear us:

• Dig deep into what “midlife coaching” actually means—and uncover what makes Cathy’s perspective and gifts unique
• Identify key areas of her zone of genius that she wasn’t even thinking about bringing into her coaching
• Clarify who she really helps and what her people are seeking—so she can speak to them with confidence and resonance
• Explore how to bring her years of business experience, life wisdom, and creative energy into her next evolution as a coach
• Shift her entire mindset around what her niche is, how to talk about it, and how to build her business moving forward

What we ended up with was a completely new way for Cathy to think about her niche, her ideal clients, and the kind of coach she’s here to be.

This is one of those juicy, transformative coaching sessions that shows you how quickly things can change when you’re willing to go deeper and trust what’s already inside you.

If you’ve been circling around a vague niche, wondering how to bring all of YOU into your business, or craving permission to do things differently, this episode is going to light something up in you - guaranteed!
