We are in a trust recession. There’s too much noise. Too many promises. Too much hype. And buyers are slower, more cautious, and more skeptical than ever.

In this episode, I break down why referrals are no longer “nice to have” but essential.

When trust is low, someone else’s voice carries more power than your best sales page ever could.

Inside this episode, I share:

• What a trust recession actually means for entrepreneurs

• Why referrals shorten the buying cycle instantly

• How I built a multi-six-figure business largely through word-of-mouth

• The two referral pathways: direct asking vs. affiliate systems

• How to decide which path is right for your brand

• Why relationship-building beats transactional marketing every time

• The fear of rejection and why it’s costing you income

Referrals aren’t random.
They’re strategic.

And when implemented intentionally, they become an arm of your business that keeps revenue flowing without constant launching, chasing, or convincing.

If you want consistent income in a cautious market, this episode is your blueprint.

In this solo episode, I’m diving into something most women completely overlook when trying to scale: Identity.

If you’re hustling, plateaued, constantly tweaking your strategy, or feeling burned out… it’s not just a business problem.

It’s an identity problem.

Inside this episode, I break down what I call SHE-EO Energy — the embodied identity of the woman who leads with power, clarity, and ease.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between your human self and your soulful self

• Why your human self keeps you stuck in hustle, validation, and fear

• How to identify energetic kinks vs. strategic kinks in your business

• What it actually means to activate the SHE-EO identity

• Why scaling to 6 and 7 figures becomes easier when you embody the woman who already holds it

• A guided visualization to connect with your highest self and shift your state

Your human self wants safety.
Your soul self wants expansion.

The woman who runs a 6 or 7-figure business with ease?
She already exists.

This episode will help you meet her and choose her.

In this episode, I sit down with CPA and founder of Fixit Accounting, Nancy Benet, for a raw and powerful conversation about business, failure, taxes, and rebuilding from rock bottom.

Nancy shares how she went from multiple failed businesses and $650,000 in debt to building a successful accounting firm rooted in alignment, commitment, and mindset work. This is not just a tax conversation — it’s about identity, responsibility, and refusing to have a back door.

We talk about:

• Rebuilding after massive business failure

• The mindset shift that changed everything

• Why successful entrepreneurs don’t operate with a Plan B

• Nancy’s 4-step process for achieving any goal

• How surrender + perspective open unexpected doors

• The truth about business setup (LLC vs S Corp)

• Why “buying deductions” is usually bad strategy

• How to remove the fear around taxes and compliance

• The importance of hiring a CPA early

If money feels heavy, confusing, or overwhelming — this episode will ground you and empower you.

Nancy also shares insights from her book Tame Your Money Monster, where she dives into the root of financial fear and how childhood beliefs shape our money habits.
