What if staying aligned with your goals didn't require doing more—but doing less on purpose?

In this solo episode, I walk you through exactly how I structure my days, weeks, and months so my time, energy, and money are all pulling in the same direction. I start with the nervous system piece—because if I'm wired for busyness, I'll sabotage white space—then share the practical scaffolding that keeps me focused on what truly moves the needle.

You'll discover:

• The "crowd it out" method — Put the most important things in first, then let everything else fill around them
• My non-negotiable guardrails — No Monday appointments, hard stop after 4 p.m., a real lunch, and no more than 2–3 Zooms per day
• Energy-saving batching strategies — Like stacking podcast recordings to eliminate context switching and preserve mental bandwidth
• The 80/20 rule in practice — Plus the 80/20 of that 20% for laser focus on what truly matters
• Boundary mastery — Why my default answer is "no" unless a request clearly serves my priorities
• Life-force energy as a success KPI — Tracking not just metrics, but how alive and energized you feel
• Seasonal business rhythms — Using my "Upward Cycle of Success" (emergence, visibility, culmination, fertile void) to build in natural ebb and flow instead of constant grind
• Annual planning that honors your whole life — Our family-first approach where personal "boulders" get calendar priority before business goals

If you're ready to create results with more ease and integrity, this episode is your step-by-step blueprint.

What if the bravest way to grow your life is to burn down the business that's "working"?

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Samantha Skelly, founder of Pause Breathwork, to explore her holy-disruptive moment of closing a wildly successful, multi-seven-figure emotional eating company overnight. Following a crystal-clear divine directive, she rebuilt her work around breath as a path to healing and leadership. We dive into the fireworks-in-the-sky signs, middle-of-the-night downloads, and the day she literally hit "cancel" on recurring revenue to honor her soul's assignment.

You'll hear us explore:

• The science and soul of breathwork — How it shifts the body through the amygdala and vagus nerve, creating an 8-minute doorway into altered states, and why gentle, trauma-informed facilitation is essential
• Running a company the feminine way — Embracing spaciousness, cyclical leadership, and building profits without self-betrayal
• Lessons from a year that "built" her — Developing discernment with team dynamics, keeping the main thing the main thing, and choosing depth over novelty for true mastery
• Creating a sustainable daily breath practice — including how to adapt your practice during tender seasons like pregnancy

If you're feeling the nudge to pivot—or simply to soften how you work—this conversation offers both permission and practice. Press play, breathe with us, and let your next chapter arrive with more ease, truth, and plenty.

Have you ever had your intuition whisper "stop" while your business (or bills) shouted "go"?

In this week's Plenty episode, I hand the mic to my producer for a surprise Q&A—and I share honest, behind-the-scenes stories about trusting inner knowing, closing successful offers that are no longer aligned, navigating chaotic seasons, and holding both structure and flow in business and life. You'll hear how I work with my nervous system when money pressure spikes, why "feminine" leadership doesn't mean avoiding systems, and how I stay in integrity when industry hype says otherwise.

What you'll learn:

• Intuition vs. obligation: Why every leap I've taken that "didn't make sense on paper" ultimately created more alignment and revenue
• Doing less, not avoiding life: The difference between regenerative rest and resistance (and how I spot it in myself)
• Structure and surrender: How healthy systems let your creative, feminine energy flourish—without outsourcing your power
• Rhythms through hard seasons: Why cycles include creation and destruction, and how to trust the rhythm even when life feels anything but "in flow"
• Money, nervous system, and Source: Practical ways I reset when finances feel tight so I can see possibilities again
• Integrity in the personal-growth space: Why I don't believe in "having it all figured out" and how I stay honest about being human

This conversation pulls back the curtain on what it really looks like to build a business and life from authentic alignment.

“Feminine leadership doesn’t mean avoiding structure—it means building containers that let you exhale.” –Kate Northrup
