  • The Best Accountants Trust Their Gut (Not Just the Numbers)
    Nov 3 2025

    There's something most people don't know about the best financial advisors, the sharpest accountants, and the portfolio managers who consistently beat the market:

    They don't just trust the numbers. They trust their gut.

    Chrissy Hollis is a Chartered Accountant and CPA. When she became the sole income earner for her family while carrying debt, most people would have panicked and hustled harder. Instead, every time scarcity kicked in, she used it as data—a red flag to get still, breathe, and let the right action reveal itself.

    Three years later? Debt-free. Business growing every year. With more peace than she's ever known.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • Why scarcity is information, not a directive—and how to read it
    • The moment Chrissy launched her business in March 2020 despite everyone telling her no
    • How she navigates high-stakes decisions from peace instead of panic
    • Why 5 minutes of intentional stillness outperforms 5 hours of grinding
    • The unconscious pattern that kept her stuck (and how breaking it led to her biggest revenue jump)

    Featured Quote: "I get more done now in less time than I ever did in the grind." — Anik Malenfant

    The Bottom Line: When you start your day grounded—hydrated, walked, still—your nervous system has capacity. You can deep listen, see root problems, and have hard conversations without getting triggered. When you start with coffee and panic, you work twice as hard to get half the results.

    Peace doesn't mean everything is easy. It means you're grounded enough to handle what's hard.

  • Your Intuition Is Your Highest Intelligence
    Oct 27 2025

    Most leaders don't have an intuition problem. They have a discernment problem.

    You've been getting signals. You've been sensing when something's off. You KNOW when a decision doesn't sit right.

    But you can't tell the difference between your survival brain screaming "Stay safe!" and your inner wisdom whispering "This is the way."

    So you ignore it. Override it. Ask everyone else's opinion. And six months later? You're thinking, "I KNEW I shouldn't have done that."

    That inner doubt isn't just frustrating. It's expensive. It's the partnerships that drain you. The hires that don't work out. The opportunities you say yes to that pull you further from what matters.

    In this episode, we go deep on Pillar #2: Intuitive Discernment—your compass. You'll discover:

    • The difference between instinct (survive) and intuition (thrive)—and why confusing them costs you
    • The Relief vs. Resonance Framework: How Wall Street's best make aligned decisions
    • The 3-question diagnostic to know if you're following fear or wisdom
    • Real stories: The 7-figure entrepreneur who almost burned out his team and the dentist who chose health over industry standards
    • The Intuitive Audit: A 4-question practice to develop discernment now
    • The Body Compass Practice: A simple tool you can use between meetings

    Self-trust isn't a personality trait you're born with. It's a skill you BUILD. When you distinguish fear from wisdom, you stop second-guessing yourself.

  • Why Your Values Determine Your Revenue Ceiling
    Oct 20 2025

    What if the business strategy you're following is perfectly designed... for someone else's values?

    You're successful on paper. You're hitting the metrics. Checking the boxes. But inside? You feel empty. Not because you're doing it wrong—but because you're building on the wrong foundation.

    In this episode, we go forensic on Pillar #1: Values—the foundation of every Conscious Business Model.

    You'll discover:

    1. The 3 types of values violations (and which one is silently draining your energy)
    2. The Buffet Metaphor: Why you're letting everyone else fill your plate—and how to take it back
    3. The 8-figure CEO who went from begging for a raise to designing a 7-figure buyout—in 45 minutes of values work
    4. The Complete Values Integrity Audit: A 15-minute diagnostic that reveals exactly where your foundation is cracked
    5. The 3 ways to honor your values (without blowing up your entire life)
    6. Why "future you" is pissed about the compromises you're making today

    Real talk: You didn't survive everything you've survived just to spend the rest of your life living someone else's values. That's not resilience—that's resignation.

    If you're ready to stop building on borrowed blueprints and start building something that's actually yours, this episode will show you exactly where to start.

    FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE:

    1. The cost of values violations (and why your body knows before your mind does)
    2. How one CEO pivoted from wage negotiation to 7-figure exit in a single session
    3. The "parking lot client" who hadn't even given herself permission to be hungry
    4. Why most people do the audit—then do nothing (and how to break the pattern)
