232 | What a Cease & Desist Letter Taught Me About Soul-Powered Leadership

What if the breakdown was really the breakthrough you didn’t see coming?

Today, I’m sharing a deeply personal story—one that began with a cease and desist letter landing in my inbox on an ordinary Tuesday morning… and ended up sparking an unexpected evolution of my business.

Because sometimes, soul-powered leadership doesn’t look like scaling or launching or growing on schedule. Sometimes, it looks like letting go. Listening deeply. And honoring the quiet knowing that something needs to change.

Over the past year, I’ve navigated some major thresholds—internally and externally—and in today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to lead from the inside out, especially when the outside world feels uncertain.

Whether you’re standing at your own business crossroads or sensing that something is quietly asking to evolve within you, this episode will help you reconnect with your truth and remember that you’re not alone.

HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Action Creates Clarity.

It’s tempting to wait until you have the perfect plan, name, or direction—but this story shows how each step (even the messy ones) reveals the next. The divine meets you in motion.

2️⃣ Your Business Is a Living Thing.

I share how my signature program is changing, not because of strategy, but because my business was asking to grow with me. When we listen, our work becomes a reflection of our own transformation.

3️⃣ Leadership Is Staying in the Room.

Soul-powered leadership means doing the deeper, often uncomfortable work of staying present, even when the path isn’t clear. Not quitting. Not bypassing. But listening, refining, and rising—with integrity.

If you’re tired of surface strategies...

If something in your work feels off, but you can’t yet name it...

Or if you’ve been quietly questioning what’s next...

This conversation is a mirror, and a map.
