But over the past year, I’ve realized there’s another decision quietly shaping our lives every single day — where we place our attention.

Because our attention isn’t just what we notice. It’s what becomes our lived experience — our memories and our view of the world around us.

In this episode, I’m sharing why I’ve become so much more intentional about what I consume, what I give my energy to, and why protecting my attention has become one of the most meaningful practices in my own life.

I share about:

* Why attention is our most valuable resource

* The subtle ways distraction pulls us away from ourselves

* How constant input changes the way we experience ordinary life

* What I’ve noticed since stepping away from social media

* A simple invitation to begin paying attention to what truly deserves it

I hope this conversation leaves you wanting a little less noise—and a little more of your own beautiful, ordinary life.

P.S. This episode is a little different. Instead of sharing an off-the-cuff personal journal, I’m reading a recent essay I published on Substack. It felt like one worth hearing out loud.

In today's episode, I share:

• What it felt like to question nearly everything after a major life transition
• The research that helped me understand why my priorities have shifted so much in my 40s
• How I went from feeling wound-up and irritable to calmer and more present
• The unexpected freedom that came from stepping away from social media
• Why this season feels less like a crisis and more like a homecoming

• Laura Carstensen's Socioemotional Selectivity Theory: https://lifespan.stanford.edu/projects/socioemotional-selectivity-theory-sst

So in this episode, I'm sharing what that looks like in practice, specifically:

• how I'm planning our family's summer (without overplanning it)
• the specifics of how I'll create space for myself as a mom
• the small nostalgic moments I hope my kids to remember

Whether you're a parent planning summer with little ones or simply thinking about how you want this season to feel, I hope this inspires you to approach the months ahead with a little more intention.

And if this kind of conversation resonates, my Substack is where I explore this season of life more deeply in real time—writing about motherhood, personal growth, slower living, life transitions, and what it looks like to create a life that feels more aligned and fully your own.

More importantly, I dive into one core topic: the duality of being human. How it's possible to feel deeply grateful for your life while also feeling unsettled, uncertain, or hungry for more at the exact same time. I share about the grief I still feel after our move to Georgia, the strange in-between season I'm navigating professionally, and why I think so many of us are quietly holding conflicting emotions beneath the surface.

So if you've been feeling the tension of two seemingly opposing emotions at once, this episode is for you.

As I shared in previous episodes, I stepped away from my own IG era about six months ago, which facilitated a giant shift in how I live my life. That's why I love hearing other leaders in the personal growth space talk about this same topic.

Because the truth is, there is a major cultural shift at play right now. In today's episode, I share something I've been pondering—how the massive pivot I experienced in my own life, as it relates to entrepreneurship and living authentically, mirrors what's happening in the world around us.

In this episode, I share:

• A recent conversation with Lacy Phillips and Jessica Gill about this cultural shift that really spoke to me and brought clarity to what's happening right now
• How the social media fatigue we're noticing might actually signal the end of performance culture
• The identity changes I experienced after stepping back from my business, and how the shedding I've done helped reconnect me with who I really am
• A peek into my current weekday rhythm as a mom, writer, and creative—including my go-to hot cocoa recipe for cozy morning writing sessions.

If this episode resonates with you, you'll probably enjoy my Substack as well. That's where I share deeper reflections, personal essays, and my new series Field Notes.

• The tactile rituals I've replaced scrolling with (books, magazines, painting)

• A new daily noticing practice that's helping me retrain my attention

So, if you've been feeling overstimulated, distracted, or just tired of your phone having such a strong pull on your nervous system — this might inspire your own experiment.

If your new year feels less like a clean slate and more like a slow crawl out of holiday chaos, sickness, or just plain exhaustion… you're not alone. This week, I'm sharing why I'm not beginning 2026 with a grand plan, a detailed vision board, or a perfectly mapped-out set of intentions.

Instead, I'm choosing the slowness of winter, the simplicity of small tasks, and the honesty of meeting myself exactly where I am.

Inside, I talk about:

• The moment back in 2012 that shifted how I wanted to enter the New Year — and why I stopped forcing a "fresh start."

• What this past holiday season really looked like (sickness, exhaustion, low capacity) and why big intentions were impossible.

• Why I'm choosing a slower, simpler beginning to 2026 — and letting clarity and momentum trickle in on their own timeline.

Here's to choosing what's real, sustainable, and aligned — not what's expected.

It starts in my kitchen, making hot chocolate for my kids, Bing Crosby playing, the tree lit up across the room… and realizing I didn't feel a single ounce of Christmas magic. Not one spark. Even though everything around me looked perfect.

In this episode, I unpack the truth I uncovered — a quiet holiday epiphany that led me straight to my inner child and the part of me still longing for Christmas to feel the way it used to.

Inside, I share:

✨ Why Christmas feels so different as an adult (especially as a mom)
✨ How moving to a new state and rebuilding community has shifted everything
✨ What my inner child needed me to finally understand

If this season feels different for you — less sparkly, more emotional, more complicated — you're not alone. This episode is an invitation to honor where you are, release the pressure to recreate past versions of the holiday, and notice the tiny moments where magic still finds its way in.

That’s exactly where I am right now—deep in the growth zone as I say goodbye to one chapter and step into another with our big move to Georgia.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to trust the process when the full picture isn’t clear yet.

Right now, I’m navigating one of the biggest changes of my life—moving my family to another state. It’s overwhelming, emotional, and exciting all at once. 

Through it all, I’m leaning on the practice of visioning to help me stay grounded, trust the process, and step into what’s next with intention.

I also share a deeply personal experience—how I used this practice to overcome my fear of getting a mammogram after a past traumatic experience. 

If you’re in a season of change, uncertainty, or fear, this episode is for you.

Inside, I share:

• The intensity of moving and how I’m staying connected to the vision of what’s next
• How holding a clear vision helped me navigate my recent mammogram experience with ease
• How the mind influences our reality and why feeding it the right vision is key
• A simple but powerful practice to create clarity and momentum when you feel lost or stuck

I share my personal journey as I prepare to leave a familiar chapter behind—a home, a community, routines, and a vision for the future—and step into the unknown.

I explore:

• The grief and emotional waves that come with letting go of a place and a life you’ve built.
• The fear and uncertainty of starting over in a new chapter—and why that can feel so disorienting.
• How past transitions—leaving college, moving homes, or ending relationships—mirror this experience and teach us to trust the process.
• Why change always feels like a mix of pain, growth, and renewal.

Through the ups and downs of this transition, I’m finding ways to navigate the grief, fear, and gratitude that coexist in this season of life. 

This episode is an invitation to reflect on how you face change and to find peace in the knowing that endings always make room for new beginnings.

This was sparked by a story I heard on the Honestly with Bari Weiss podcast, where Peggy Noonan shared a simple but powerful response to rudeness: “How extraordinary.” 

It made me think about how we’ve lost touch with calm and composed strength, especially in a world that feels so reactive—online and in real life.

What would it look like to embody elegance in the way we respond to challenges and conflict? 

That’s what I’m diving into today, along with how I’m working on this in my own life. It’s not about perfection—it’s about choosing intention and grace, even in hard moments.

So, fun fact: Ana has become one of my good friends thanks to my neighbor Michelle and the fact that our daughters go to the same school. When I met her, I was like, “Oh thank goodness, I’ve found a kindred spirit here in the burbs.” Because he’s not only a mama like me but she’s also an entrepreneur in the wellness space.

It’s been so fun to watch her put herself out here and grow such a successful business specializing in ADHD. In this episode, she shares tons of wisdom, and I can’t wait for you to listen.

In this episode, we chat about why becoming a mother was the catalyst for exploring entrepreneurship and finding work that lit her up, what is was like to “come out of the closet” with ADHD and how it quickly turned into her specialty as a coach, the key things she did to grow a following of 90,000 on Instagram and launch her super successful membership offer, her biggest content tips for grabbing the attention of your target audience and the kind of content that turns them into paying customers, and so much more!

She’s been featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine, Vogue, ABC, The New York Times, Forbes, and more.

Critiquing the new website of a well-known entrepreneur, Jenna Kutcher.

This is a respectful, yet direct critique about the opportunities I see for Jenna to elevate your new brand.

While I’ve always loved Jenna’s websites and look to her for a inspiration as fellow creative.

In this week’s episode, I share why this month - and the summer season in general - is such a nostalgic time of year for me. And remains one of my favorites.

While summer can bring so much energy and aliveness to our lives, it can also inspire slowness and an “out of office” vibe that takes us out of the momentum of growth as entrepreneurs.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing - but we want to make sure we find a way to balance out the play and the productivity in an intentional way.

Which is why I share 6 things I’m doing to enjoy summertime while also making important and consistent moves inside my business.

Enjoy!

Known as the OG of sexual wellness retreats, Pamela is a fearless advocate for women’s health and integrated sexuality who leverages her raw honesty and well-informed wit to help strip the stigma from women’s wellness, female desire and pleasure, body image, and infertility. 

She is the author of Shameless: How I Ditched The Diet, Got Naked, Found True Pleasure and Still Got Home In Time To Cook Dinner. And she has appeared on Sex with Emily, Oprah, O Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Women’s Health, Buzzfeed, 60 Minutes, CNN, The New York Times, USA Today, and more.

She is such a badass and a truly poetic speaker. I have no doubt you’ll be hanging on her every word.

In this episode, we chat about what it was like to start an anonymous blog about sexuality with 40,000 readers back in the day, and how it wound up costing her a big role in her career, her decision to go all in on embodiment work, sexuality, and her idea to create a safe space for women to reconnect with their bodies, what it looked like for Back to the Body to be birthed into the world without a business plan - and the incredible growth that happened almost immediately, how she built a 7-figure business with retreats as the core source of revenue and how she’s planning to scale beyond that, and so much more!

She’s been practicing yoga for 11 years, trained in India and all over Europe, and learned from some of the most brilliant physiotherapists and meditation teachers out there.

She combines movement science and ground-breaking research into the science of emotions, and offers it in simple practical terms as healing movement to all her students.

Her yoga style combines trauma healing somatics, zen Buddhism, but also biomechanics, and physiotherapy, because she believes there is a bigger picture we’ve been missing in our movement. The body and the mind are one, and only by tending to both can we truly heal.

As you’ll hear, Manu is a wealth of wisdom around building a digital product-based business. That and she is the most beautiful soul, leading her work with so much integrity and heart. I know you’ll adore her as much as I do.

In this episode, we chat about the remote job she got right out of college that allowed her to live on an island in Spain and teach yoga and meditation for free in her spare time, why working at a startup taught her all about marketing and online courses and ultimately inspired her to launch her first course just 3 years ago, the multiple digital products that flopped, and what she did to learn more about her audience and create something they wanted to buy, the launch of her most popular course, Hips Like Honey, the problem it solved for her ideal buyers, and why it turned into a great success, how she found her rhythm with social media and figured out what her audience engages with the most - and why that’s so crucial to anyone’s success on IG and beyond, and so much more!

With over a decade of experience as a yoga teacher, she seamlessly weaves ancient rituals and spiritual wisdom into her practice. In one hand, she honors the sacred, connecting with the divine and invoking the energies of ancestors for profound healing.

If yes, this episode is for you.

Since 2010, she has been immersed in private healing work, teaching at top wellness centers, and training hundreds of practitioners to activate their gifts.

Today, the newly launched Ground&Gold offers people just dipping their toe into energy work AND those who’ve been on the path for years to experience group classes, gifted practitioners, and certification programs that root them into their power, restore energy to the body, bring clarity to the headspace, and activate their intuition.

So, if you’ve been thinking about creating one, are about to launch one, or are looking to refine the one you’ve been running for years -

This episode is for you.

Group programs are magic for a few reasons:

1. They give you the opportunity to have a bigger impact beyond private, one-on-one offers. Instead of serving a handful of clients at once, you can serve many more.
2. They create community which is a highly transformative component of the human experience. Being held in community is often the special sauce behind the best group programs.
3. They are often rinse and repeat in nature. You can create content for them once - like video lessons, audio lessons, homework assignments - and be done aside from ongoing tweaks and enhancements.
4. They usually require less of your time and energy. Instead of having daily private calls with clients, you have one weekly group call and you’re done for the week.
5. They have more earning potential. There are a variety of ways to structure a group program, but oftentimes there isn’t a cap on how many people you can enroll at once. And if there is, you can make it a high ticket offer that brings in multiple 5 figures each time you run it.

So lots of reasons to create one, right?

Now, how does one create a program that produces results - that both delivers to the clients who invest and earns a decent chunk of change.

That’s what I’m going to share with you today.

Just like so many people who start businesses, she knows she’s meant to help people - she yearns to change lives, but can’t figure out why it’s been such a struggle.

As I chatted with her to help identify what’s been in the way of her building momentum, making money, and having an impact…

I discovered two core things that have been holding her back without her knowing it. 

1. Giving up on her ideas and creations too soon.
2. Looking for the perfect formula or framework.

Inside the episode, I share how these have played a big role in blocking momentum, clients, and money from flowing easily in her direction.

I also share how I started my business mentorship program, Your Wellness Brand, in 2017, and how I could have perceived it as a failure - but instead stayed the course and earned multiple 6-figures from that revenue stream alone.

If you’re someone who is feeling like you’ve failed recently, I see you and it’s my hope that this episode lifts your spirits and inspires you to keep going; to see things all the way through; and to always, trust your instincts.

Meaning – the periods where you show up consistently and create a lot of visibility and relevancy for yourself…

And then the periods where you pull back, do less, and aren’t prioritizing your visibility as much.

What does it all mean? What’s the impact? And why do we judge ourselves so much when we’re not following the perfect content creation plan every single month? 

As someone who has most definitely been on top of my game – on fire creating content – and then, basically disappeared for months on end…

I’ve seen the impact of this on my business firsthand.

So, today – I’m going to share about what happens in those contrasting scenarios and what you can do to “get back on the horse” so-to-speak.

Inside, I offer three powerful tips that will help you enjoy the process of creating content again – and remind you why social media is a vital piece of the business puzzle.

I hope it also gives you permission to regularly pull back and take breaks – because we all need it!

It can be hard to know what to do in situations like these – when the world seems to be falling apart, when humanity feels lost, and we’re over here safe, comfortable, and able to fully live our lives.

Running a business. Growing a business. Promoting a business…

All of it can feel trial and meaningless, and you might be wondering, “Is it ok for me to still actively do the work I love, to share my message, and offer my expertise?”

In this episode, I offer my thoughts on how to do both things:

• Continue to run a business so that you can earn what you need to live your life
• Continue to pray for and donate to the people in deep suffering in abroad

I also offer guidance around how to pull yourself out of a despair spiral as It relates to times like these as well as when you’re facing something much more minor like COMPARISON.

My hope is this solo episode brings you a bit of clarity on how to move forward and still follow you’re soul’s work – in the way that feels most aligned to you.

Essentially, the online storefront that is home to your brand and the foundation of your business – including:

• Your core message
• Your story and mission
• Your offers
• Your deeper content like a blog or podcast
• Your client testimonials and more

I like to think of your website as the center of your business’s online presence. Because everything you do from a content perspective on social media and via email is meant to pull people back to your website.

Whether that’s to a sales page, a post, or a lead magnet.

But how do you ensure that your website is strong and going to work for you once those people land there?

In today’s episode, I share 5 key steps you must take to ensure your website is not only beautiful, but also performs for you!

And by perform, I mean, getting your website visitors to sign up for your email list, email you about your offers, or buy right there on the spot.

So if you’ve been curious about how this could support you in your business, listen to the very end.

Even though the online space is less tense than it was in 2020, it’s normal for so many of us to still carry that fear around. Because, well, it was traumatic to not only witness people being torn down, but to also see it happen to people we know.

But here’s the thing – this fear is stealing something so important: the freedom to be fully you and fully expressed. When you hold back or edit yourself, it can feel not only stressful, but a bit suffocating, right? And that’s no way to live! Especially, when you’ve got a purpose to pursue.

Today’s episode offers you 5 tips that will help you loosen the grip the fear of “being cancelled” has on you, and will also support you in having a cohesive brand voice online.

I hope it helps!!

What is that thought? “I can’t.”

There are a few reasons I wanted to address this:

Unsure how to structure your schedule as an entrepreneur so you get a lot done?

One thing that many business owners don’t talk about openly are the challenges that often happen in the sales process and within client delivery.

And ghosting is most definitely an issue everyone has experienced at least once.

After learning to care for plants and experiencing the joy this brought to her life, she launched the Bloom and Grow Radio Podcast to learn alongside her listeners as she interviews experts in all aspects of plant care.

Since the launch of her podcast, she also launched the Bloom & Grow [Virtual] Garden Society and authored Growing Joy: The Plant Lover's Guide to Cultivating Happiness (and Plants).

Maria spent the last decade as a professional Musical Theater performer and has been seen in Broadway musicals on the Great White Way and around the world.

She's thrilled to now use her voice to help people grow more joy in their lives, through plant care.

As you'll soon hear, I recently stumbled upon Maria, her incredible work, and magnetic energy on Instagram.

I bought her book - which I'm loving - and soon found out that my husband knows her! You'll find out how in the episode.

Maria is a true breath of fresh air and is blazing a brand new trail in the wellness space.

I can't wait for you to hear all of the details on how this beautiful venture came to be.

In this episode, we chat about her journey pursuing her dream career as a singer and Broadway performer, landing a role in CATS, and more, how her love affair with plants began and became her favorite form of self-care, and included having coffee with her basil plant every morning instead of looking at a screen, what inspired her to start her podcast Bloom & Grow Radio, why it exploded in growth almost instantly, and now has over 1 million downloads, what it looked like for her to leave behind her career in the arts and become a fulltime entrepreneur, how she went from growing her listeners and subscribers, to launching a successful paid membership community and writing her book, and so much more!

During that session, I felt my heart burst open and all of this inspiration pour in. And it gave me an idea – an important topic to share – with you here. Ever since I've been figuring out how to communicate it with you.

But essentially, it is a core problem I see happening in our collective that is blocking authentic self-expression and kindness from dominating in the world.

This is a problem for so many reasons – but as it relates to business, if you want to be an authentic, magnetic, heart-led leader, you've got to examine these two human tendencies that are creating a ton of pain and misalignment.

I hope it inspires you to take a closer look at yourself – as I have been too! – and begin bringing courage and compassion into your connection points with other people on the planet, especially those who disagree with you.

After dedicating the first 20+ years of their lives studying and practicing movement, Aly and Colette met as professional dancers. While training, both were warned that running and other high impact workouts would be detrimental to their professional dance careers.

I'm excited to bring the Brand Yourself podcast back to life after a 4-month break and create this new season with fresh eyes and a new intention.

As you'll hear in this welcome back episode, the last quarter of 2021 was especially challenging for me – for a variety of reasons. And it woke me to the truth – I had been pushing myself too hard and gotten to a place where I was resenting the second business I launched in June.

And my body? Wow, it made it very clear that I needed to slowwwww way down and be much more protective of my time, energy, and wellbeing.

I dive into the details of what happened and what I'll be doing differently this year in the episode. I also share how my solo episodes will be shifting a bit AND my intention for having more diverse guests on the show – particularly when it comes to worldview.

I'm excited to step into this fresh start with you and create a space where you feel inspired to be more you in your life and your business.

Big hug,

Blair

She has dedicated her career to helping women connect spiritually, start profitable businesses, create wealth from a feminine perspective, and become highly visible so they can make a global impact.

Some of those women include Jen Sincero, who (fun fact!) dedicated her book on money to Gina.

Gina believes that there is a Queen in every woman: "Within every woman lives a Queen," Gina affirms, "And only from the position of Queen can you fulfill your purpose."

So, as you'll hear in the episode, Gina is such a badass. Her journey to creating the platform she has today took a whole lotta hard work, guts, and faith. Get ready for some incredibly juicy stories.

In this episode, we chat about

the early stages of her professional life working in the White House and then with Marianne Williamson in her 20's, her decision to become a psychotherapist and what it looked like to drop that career and move to LA and become a life coach, why shining a light on her money story and replacing it with a more empowering one was the key to her selling $20,000 and then $100,000 programs, how her spiritual practice and trust in the Universe is the foundation of her work and life, and how integrating them has been key to her becoming a multi-millionaire, why she says being herself and not following the rules that so many people subscribe to as entrepreneurs was key to paving her own path and reaching such a high level of success, and so much more!

To run my own business, build another one with co-founders, be present for my 2-year-old, have a solid relationship with my husband, and still have time to take care of me too.

This idea to open up this was inspired by a conversation I had with a colleague recently who is an entrepreneur and in her first trimester of pregnancy. She asked…

"Have ever given people a real behind the scenes peek into how you do all of those things?" And I realized, I haven't.

I've shared bits and pieces here and there – on the podcast, on social media, but never in one place with a detailed play-by-play.

But I've realized that there are people out there who are probably curious because maybe they too want to start businesses or grow businesses, while juggling other things.

So, I'll be breaking this down so you can understand how I've made it work.

Truly one of the biggest reasons entrepreneurs fail to create content that resonates and attracts their dream clients is … they don't know their audience.

Your audience is who you design not only your offers for, but also your message so that it makes them feel seen and heard.

If you notice that your content isn't getting any engagement—those IG posts have few likes or comments or your email open rates are low—that means you likely need to do some work here.

In this episode, I share my top recommendations for choosing the right audience for you and position your business as their solution.

The corporate world puts a lot of value in accolades, credentials, and resumes. Which can be disorienting when you start a business. You may feel pressure to have "more experience" in order to be taken seriously.

But do you really need to worry about that in the beginning?

This week on the podcast I dive into this topic and give you my honest opinion, especially as it relates to this week's question from a dear listener:

How do you speak to your experience when your resume speaks of a different journey? How can you legitimize your credentials as someone who really cares to be there and be honest with others?

I am coming from a corporate past, with everyone telling me to go back into finance, but I know there is gold in my new path.

We've hit the 150th episode of the show with over 220,000 downloads and counting.

I've been considering how I wanted to celebrate it for months. Should I have some super high-profile guest? Should I do it solo? Or should I do something different?

After a few weeks, the answer became clear.

I want to use this moment to let you in what's been going on over here.

I've been secretly co-creating a second business with two amazing women. Women who are not only doing really important work in the world, but who I know are soul-mate level friends.

That's Alissa Alter and Anne Omland.

Alissa is a Women's Health Expert & Motherhood Advocate, author of Unstuck: From Understudy To The Study Of Your Undercarriage, and host of the podcast Myth of Motherhood who is all about cracking open the taboo topics of pregnancy and motherhood. She uses movement, mindfulness, and good ol' education to help mamas and mamas-to-be stop suffering in silence so that pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum can be healing and empowering stages of life.

Anne is a Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Hypnobirthing Childbirth Educator, Women's Health Coach, Doula-in-training and the founder of Mamakind, a platform where she creates personalized wellness plans that care for the whole woman on her journey to motherhood. In her former career, she was a VP at a Fortune 500 company and struggled with workaholism, and later found it challenging to become pregnant. She realized a deep disconnect between not only how our systems of care support women in their motherhood journey but also between her and her body. Six years and 3 little ones later, she's found a passion in supporting women as they look to conceive, navigate pregnancy, and as they transition into new motherhood.

As you'll hear in the episode, these two went through my Your Wellness Brand Program in 2020 to build their businesses.

I felt an instant connection with both of them—like we'd known each other for years.

And over the summer, when I got the download for this new venture, I knew I couldn't do it alone.

In this episode, we chat about why both Anne and Alissa were a hell yes to co-founding a company together, the challenges that we each experienced after having babies and how there is a huge missing link for all women and birthing people, why the postpartum experience is so screwed up, what we believe it should be like, and how our platform will be part of the solution, and so much more!

If yes, congratulations: you're a multi-passionate entrepreneur. And while this is such a beautiful thing to be, it can often feel challenging to present yourself and your work in a way that is cohesive so that no one questions what you stand for.

From writing your website copy to posting on social media, being clear on how all of what you have to offer fits together under one brand umbrella, is essential to not only becoming known for what you do, but also for attracting your perfect-fit clients.

In this episode, I share my top recommendations for how to find the thread that ties all of your passions, interests, and projects together thanks to this week's question which asks…

While my main business is a virtual yoga studio, I am invested in other complementary, growing, and collaborative projects.  How does one successfully bring these projects together as a cohesive brand? To me, my projects ALL relate and serve my greater public image. They all bring revenue and I feel on the right track with them all.... yet, my outward message is still awkwardly trying to find its unifying glue.

Adi created Teami Blends when she was just 23 years old after being unable to find any solution to her digestive issues. In search of an all-natural solution, Adi started blending her own loose-leaf teas and created one herself.

After solving her own health issues, Adi started Teami in 2013 and has been helping people live happier, healthier lifestyles ever since.

Known for her down-to-earth approach, it is her mission to make intuition accessible to everyone.

In her work with individuals and groups, she guides clients to use their intuition to look at what's holding them back in the here and now, empowering them to take action on their inner truths.

So, if you've been listening to the show for a while, you know how passionate I am about intuition. It is truly our greatest superpower as humans—and as entrepreneurs.

Which is why I was so excited to have this conversation with Natalie. Not only is she a delight to talk to, but she's brimming with incredible wisdom.

In the episode, we chat about her journey to developing her intuitive gifts, being part of psychic circles since age 16, and why she kept it all under wraps for nearly 15 years, what it was like to meet her spirit guide, and why she's always acted on the guidance she's gotten, even if it required massive leaps of faith, what it was like to release her former career and identity, and step fully into being a psychic medium publicly, why she says being your true authentic self amplifies your energy and makes you naturally magnetic— and how so many things clicked into place when she showed the world who she really was, why she says we're all intuitive and that the key to strengthening our connection to it lies in slowing down enough to notice the themes and patterns showing up in your life, and so much more!

After spending her twenties working in wellness and tech startups, she launched this platform with the intention of bridging the gap between the intuitive and the intellectual and to make well-being less stigmatized, more normal, and more relevant to all.

Since starting Holisticism, her community has grown to over 40,000 people, and she's built a 7-figure business.

Ok, so. I LOVE Michelle. In fact, we share so many of the same views on business, and why using intuition is ESSENTIAL to success. I also love how real she is, and how fully she owns her unique voice.

Which means this is going to be a fun listen for you.

In this episode, we chat about

why finding her way to the wellness space was initially driven by her desire to get to the root cause of her epilepsy diagnosis, her winding career path from professional modern dancer, celebrity fitness trainer, and nutrition coach to working at tech start-ups and finally landing on her business idea for Holisticism, her brilliant approach to initially building her email list in the first year, and how much love and attention she gave to nearly 1,000 people— and her biggest tips for growing an engaged community today, what it was like for her to develop and bootstrap a practice management software for wellness practitioners and how this evolved into helping people run intuitive businesses, how she's integrated a very witchy, powerful, fun vibe into her branding—from the voice to the visuals— and created something that is nowhere near the classic ethereal wellness aesthetic, which I love, and so much more!

Her career started over 10 years ago as the founder of a popular online magazine Bella Life, the host of her own talk show on global television, and a brand ambassador for some of the most prestigious beauty brands on the market.

However, in the midst of her success, she felt a deep longing for something more. Something she could create that would truly have an impact on the lives of others.

After living with severely debilitating psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for over 30 years, Nitika Chopra found that no matter how hard she tried, she always felt completely isolated and alone.

After getting the courage to open up about her health, she realized that every time she met someone who had a chronic illness, they felt the exact same way. And she knew she wanted to create a space to help them feel supported, seen, and part of a community.

That passion sparked the idea to create Chronicon. And the New York City event sold out, had 2,000 livestream viewers, and high-level brand sponsors.

Now, this platform is expanding with The Chronicon Community, a new, accessible online space with inspiration, advocacy, and empowerment for chronically ill folks across the globe to connect.

In this episode, we chat about the biggest lesson she learned from living with chronic health issues for decades—in many cases being bedridden and unable to fully live her life, her journey to becoming an entrepreneur in her 20's, launching her first business, and nearly 10 years later landing on her brilliant idea for Chronicon, what it looked like to pivot away from brand partnerships as her core source of income to creating an entirely new revenue stream, and why it was initially a bumpy ride for her financially, why she sat with the idea for Chronicon for nearly a year before stepping fully into making it a reality, and all of the incredible, dreamy support and guidance that showed up in her life when she finally did, why she's the type of person who can only honor and speak her truth, and how that's been so vital to her playing the long game as an entrepreneur, and so much more!

Her first book, Party In Your Plants, 100+ Plant-Based Recipes and Problem-Solving Strategies to Help You Eat Healthier Without Hating your Life recently hit kitchen counters and nightstands, debuting as a #1 New Release. She lives in New York with her husband and her goldendoodle, both of whom love kale and one of whom eats it off the floor.

So, Talia and I have been friends for years. She's one of those people I instantly clicked with and love being around—probably because she's so easy to talk to and hilarious.

She's a rock and roll roadie at heart and spent the first part of her career as a touring sound engineer for music icons like Dolly Parton, Melissa Etheridge, and Jason Mraz.

Being in this environment, she saw that everyone, including the people that "have it all" still struggle with feeling fulfilled, worthy, loved, successful and enough.

This along with the sudden passing of her father was the catalyst for the creation of her mindset and self-talk platform. And it's been her mission ever since to inspire others to fully own who they are and claim their joy every single day no matter what.

In this episode, she shares why she almost committed suicide at 15 years old and how choosing to live set her on a powerful trajectory to ditch the need to fit in and fully own her truth, her process for intentionally moving through her fears, stories, and uncomfortable feelings so that she can find self-understanding and take action from that place— and her top tips for doing it yourself, why taking "should" out of her vocabulary and replacing it with want changed her life in a massive way, how she got the unique opportunity to tour with Jason Mraz and became his personal wellness + joy guru, and why this kickstarted the beginnings of her business and reputation as the Joyologist, what it looked like for her to take this work and turn it into an online platform with multiple revenue streams, and so much more!

So, as you'll hear in the episode, Kait is an incredible human—a really good human. And beyond the work she does to help more people meditate, she also uses her voice and platform to speak up about issues she cares about—one being racism.

She is actively anti-racist, which is something I've committed to being very recently. Because what happens to black people and people of color in our country is not ok. And I'm sorry for taking so long to take a stand on this publicly.

If you're a white woman who had been outraged by recent events or every event affecting a person of color, then I invite you to stop hiding too, use your voice, and educate yourself about how what you can do to help the black community.

What does this look like? It looks like examining our own subconscious beliefs. It looks like following and supporting black women and all women of color. It looks like having hard conversations with family and friends who make racist remarks.  It's about doing all of the above consistently. Not only when a black person dies.

I know this is heavy, but it's important. And if all of us want to really change the world—to help people awaken, be healthy, find inner peace and joy, and lead with integrity—then we have to play a part in changing this too.

I'll be sharing some resources with you below, so you can check them out. And I will be making a massive effort to have more women of color on the show.

In this episode, she shares her journey with anxiety and chronic panic attacks and why it ultimately led her to explore meditation, and the massive impact it had on her state of mind, the moment she got the download for her business idea in her living room and how her husband played a key role in helping her turn it into a platform and app, what it looked like for her and her husband to quit their jobs and devote themselves to creating the business for two years—and why she points out that her ability to do that was largely rooted in privilege, how they tested out the concept before fully launching the brand and the incredible feedback they received from users early on, the grassroots efforts she made to build awareness about her platform and app early on in order to cultivate community and a wider audience, why collaboration has been SUCH a huge piece of her marketing strategy and how that's impacted the growth of her company, and so much more.

If you're new here, #OnTheRise is an interview series with early-stage entrepreneurs who are experiencing significant success within the first few years of launching their brands.

I created this series to give you a peek at the decisions, intuitive guidance, and strategy that have empowered young business-owners to grow quicker than most.

And today's #OnTheRise guest is Elsa Valentine.

Elsa is the co-founder of Innate Food, a UK-born collection of vegan superfood crackers.

Ignited by her own health transformation as a teenager, Elsa wondered why all humans are not innately connected to the foods they need to thrive. And why the majority chose to eat processed foods, which are essentially accumulative poison.

Later in life, it became her mission to create a healthy snack that not only contains superfood ingredients but also brings people the sensory euphoria that would keep them coming back for more— making it easy and delicious to choose something healthy over and over again.

Her first product line, Innate Food was born out of this mission and a shared passion to shift the landscape of commodified food with her co-founder, Tess. The Innate Food collection can be found in Whole Foods and Sainsbury's across the UK, and it continues to expand globally.

In this episode, why her sense of ambition was big from the ripe age of 12 years old and the wild million-dollar business plan she came up with back then, her winding career path from commissioned artist to working alongside a marine biologist, to running the horse-trekking farm of a cowgirl in New Zealand to the work she does today with Innate, her process for developing her product line and why she treated everything from recipe creation to branding as a work of art, why tuning into herself and connecting with nature have always acted as a compass and anchor in uncertain times, and are what have empowered her to see her circumstances as an adventure, her brilliant invention of Innate Mood, a digital product designed to help people build self-awareness and process their emotions using video journaling—this is fascinating, and so much more!

In this episode, she shares how she shifted from being of spoiled, materialistic, and angry in early adulthood to becoming who she really is: loving, purpose drive, and tapped into her soul, why moving from New York City to LA completely changed the trajectory of her life for the better, and the adventure she found herself on navigating a career as an actress and yogi, the experiences that sparked the idea to open her own raw food café, and her super cool, serendipitous process for manifesting its launch in New York City, how meditation has been her anchor in everything she creates, and why getting quiet and tuning into her own inner wisdom has been the most effective business strategy, what it was like to realize she didn't want to be a restaurant owner anymore after devoting years to the business, and how to make the pivot into the work she does today, why she says owning your truth, living what you say, and taking action in alignment with your future self is THE key to attracting the right opportunities, and so much more!

Aside from being one of the first to create a one-stop-destination of this nature for women, Kindbody also builds all of their own software in-house to reduce the cost of care for their patients and modernize the experience.

Joanne has been leading product and engineering teams her whole career starting at Google in the Bay Area, and most recently at Flatiron Health, a cancer technology company.

Joanne and I had this conversation at the end of 2019 way before COVID-19 became a worldwide pandemic. What's amazing is that in New York City, fertility care has been deemed an essential healthcare service, so KindBody's clinic has remained open and actively seeing patients. They also offer virtual consultations. Which means that women who are still on their fertility journeys can get incredible support even right now.

I could not admire Joanne and her co-founder Gina more, and I'm really excited to give you a peek inside this incredible company.

The New York Times identified her as "a new role model." She appears regularly as an expert on The Dr. Oz Show and co-hosted the Guinness World Record largest guided meditation with Deepak Chopra. Additionally, Gabrielle has been featured in media outlets such as ELLE, OWN, TODAY, Marie Claire, Health, SELF, Women's Health, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, the covers of Success Magazine, Experience Life Magazine and more.

So, I came across Gabby Bernstein back in 2008 while reading an article in the New York Times. But I didn't fully get into her work until 2011 when I was going through a terrible break-up.

From her books to her live events to her guided meditations, her work has played a significant role in my own personal growth, and I'm so honored to have her on the show to share all kinds of business wisdom with you.

In this episode, she shares the life event in her 20's that made her fearless in the pursuit of her work as a spiritual teacher, what it was like to start a business before social media existed and why word of mouth was the secret to her growth especially in the beginning, what it looked like to transition from coaching clients to exclusively make a living speaking and writing books, why she was forced to come to terms with her workaholism 10 years into business, and what it looked like for her to finally build a team, why she says focusing on service has been the secret to her success and global impact, the 7 blocks that we must get over in order to become what she calls a "Super Attractor", and so much more!

Her goal is to make yoga, inversions, health, strength, and whole, happy living accessible to everyone. She is excited to continue this mission with her most recent baby, CrossFlow: Yoga with Heidi Kristoffer, an app and online forum that allows everyone around the world, from yoga newbie to seasoned pro, to practice with Heidi's healing-centered yoga methods.

She's been rated one of the Hottest Trainers in America by Shape Magazine, one of the most inspiring yoga teachers in the world by DoYouYoga, and one of the most popular instructors in NYC by RateYourBurn and ClassPass.

In our conversation, we chat about why leaning more into her love for yoga from day one created serendipitous opportunities—like befriending the founders of MindBodyGreen, why saying yes to every opportunity and doing things for free in the early stages of her yoga career was so key to building momentum and becoming known in the industry, how giving herself permission to be herself as a yoga teacher and bring levity to her classes was when everything started to grow and blossom for her, the moment she turned down an audition for a major role on the show 30 Rock, left behind her 10-year career as an actress and went all in as a yoga teacher, why she still experiences imposter syndrome even though she wrote the encyclopedia on yoga for one of the biggest companies in the world, Microsoft, and so much more!

Jess is a Holistic Health & Wellness Coach who guides her clients to find a life of bliss, free from fad diets, over-exercising, and burnout. She believes that in order to change our habits we must address the "holistic picture" and compassionately investigate how all areas of our lives are interconnected.

Jess spent over a decade yo-yo dieting, exercising for punishment and ignoring the messages her body was sending her. This lifestyle coupled with a slew of stressful jobs, led her to develop debilitating migraines which she eventually cured with a holistic approach. When she discovered the power of food and lifestyle as medicine, she decided to become a health coach via the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and dedicate her time to helping others find the 2.0 version of themselves!

Today, she coaches clients privately and works in partnership with her mom Candace Burch who is a hormone health educator. She also leads a virtual group coaching course, hosts events and retreats and is the creator of the Sexy Sugar Cleanse, a 20-day system reboot for weight release, increased energy levels, and hormone balance!

So, as you'll hear in the episode, Jess and I get pretty fired up in when it comes to things like social media, authenticity, and more.

Their classes combine 60-minutes of intensity with heat and strength, complemented by deep breathing to calm the mind--all while set to the latest beats (think A Tribe Called Quest, Cardi B, Frank Ocean). The other element making it accessible and inclusive? All classes take place in a dark room with zero mirrors to eliminate the distraction of physical comparison.

Because of their devotion to a great customer experience, these two have built a multi-million dollar company that has been called one of the fastest-growing fitness boutiques in the country and ranked in the top 100 of Inc's annual 5000 list.

Since then, she's worked with notable companies on creating content, dozens of individuals to achieve a healthier and more balanced lifestyle and developed her personality as a podcast host on Freckled Foodie & Friends. She was named one of the five entrepreneurs changing New York's wellness scene by Forbes.

On her website, Instagram, and podcast (Freckled Foodie & Friends), Cameron makes a conscious effort to show you the truth of her health journey, without a filtered lens.

In a world that often feels too curated and inauthentic, she is challenging the status quo that people need a pristine kitchen or a perfect blowout to make a delicious meal. All you need is your precious time, fresh ingredients, and the determination to feed your body what it deserves.

What I love about Cameron is how unfiltered she is. She is one of the most authentic wellness influencers I've come across and, as you'll hear in our conversation, that has played a huge role in how quickly her business has grown.

In this episode, Cameron shares the life-altering moment that made her reevaluate her career and ultimately leave behind a high-paying salary and job in finance, all of the strategic steps she took before giving her notice and why she was able to monetize her business almost immediately, how her business evolved from 1:1 service offerings primarily earning income through content and brand partnerships, why authenticity has ALWAYS been something she's been conscious of and how she's kept it really real with her audience every step of the way, what she's done in order to boost engagement on social media, why she says it's so much more important than follower count, and so much more.
