After almost three years of severe depression my guest Kelsey Aida called out to the universe… “... If I cannot feel better I do not want to be here — Please Help Me!!” After speaking her painful truth out into the universe, of course, the answers came — and help was provided in the necessary support required to lift her out of that hole, and propel her forward into her next stage of life. Like Kelsey, if you are struggling to work through your own obstacles and need help reframing the resistanc...

Today I am talking with Cynthia Sue Larson about high energy money. A state of being that allows more to come into our lives. Early in life we naturally gravitate towards this kind of energy and then somewhere along the journey from childhood to adulthood we create blockages to it. Blockages in the way we feel and think about money. We find ourselves bumping into these beliefs no matter what direction we take. This is where paying close attention will make a huge difference… … what is it that tr...

People want story; it is the universal piece that connects us all. We want to know where someone comes from, who they came into contact with along the way and what their experience was on their journey. Starting out small with connections made through her kids' auditions, my guest Ali Barr found herself surrounded by stories when she ended up consulting on an array of sets for both TV and movies. Long story short, my guest Ali Barr went from soccer mom to film Producer + Director (i.e. Hollywood...

If what you are trying or doing either in business or your personal life is not energetically in alignment with your core being; or if you carry limiting beliefs about yourself in these areas, it won’t matter what you do it's not going to work out. Limiting beliefs are not something we just see our way around and they only work to hold us back from trying anything new for fear of failure or looking like a fool. What if there was a way we could overcome these limiting belief obstacles and finally...

In the US over 90% of the businesses are small businesses. Which means we are the ones who employ the people of this country and with that comes a level of responsibility.

What kind of legal things should we be considering and who should be in place to make it all come together? This is where an exit strategy comes into play.

We have used stories since the beginning of time to teach, educate, sell and entertain. It is what attunes us the most quickly with each other.

Today I am joined by mother and son team Amanda and Aaron Johnson to talk about their ne...

Often when we look at scaling our business, we think about getting it to the top. When the reality a lot of times scaling means tearing down, redoing or shifting what we are already doing. Scaling is whatever it takes to get our business to where it needs to go. For those of us that have been in business for a while or, we know; if we are not getting the results that we want, we may need to stop doing some things, start doing others, and maybe come at things from a different perspective or angle...
