In this episode of Yes, And!, host Bunny Young sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur Ashley Gordon, Founder and CEO of Quantum Coach Academy. Together, they tackle the elephant in the room: "Everyone's a f*cking coach", and dive deep into what separates mediocre advice-givers from transformational leaders.

Ashley shares the breathwork ceremony breakthrough that shifted her from plateau to seven-figure launch, proving that the answers we're seeking aren't out there, they're within us. This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about coaching, parenting with your professional tools, and the somatic work required to hold massive success.

• The difference between therapy, coaching, mentorship, and friendship

• Why your body is the container for your business growth

In this episode, Bunny Young sits down with Juliet Tripp, an international events strategist, mindset coach, and experience designer. Juliet brings over ten years of hands-on experience from the global events industry and walks us through why real transformation doesn’t happen behind a screen. It happens when we’re in the room together.

This conversation is about more than hosting retreats or selling out a venue. It’s about what shifts when people come together in person, how those moments can change everything in a business, and why showing up in real life matters more now than ever. Bunny and Juliet talk about the strategy behind great events, but also the energy and intention that make them unforgettable.

When I first met Shoshanna Raven, I wasn’t expecting her to change the way I thought about business. But in less than 30 days, she shifted my perspective on everything from sales to scaling, and I knew I had to bring her on the show to share her approach with you.

Shoshanna is the founder of Living Brave and has built a multi-million dollar business without complicated sales funnels, high-pressure launches, or a massive social media presence. Instead, she leads with relationships, ease, and a deep trust in her work and her community.

This episode is about what happens when you stop forcing business to work the way you think it “should” and start leaning into the way it actually wants to work for you. We talk about how to scale without burnout, how to build deep connections that lead to real success, and why finding the gap in the conversation is the most powerful thing you can do in your business.
