213 | Breaking Free from the Paradox of Potential

You know your work makes a difference. You’ve seen the impact, received the glowing feedback, and know—deep down—you’re meant for more. Yet, something keeps holding you back from fully stepping into your power and creating the thriving business you envision.

Today we’re unpacking The Paradox of Potential—the tension between deeply knowing your value while simultaneously doubting it. We’ll explore the patterns that keep brilliant, heart-centered entrepreneurs playing small:

• Having expertise but feeling the need for more credentials
• Creating incredible programs yet hesitating to share them
• Wanting to serve while struggling to charge your worth

We’ll also dive into the real cost of staying stuck—the financial, emotional, and energetic toll—and why traditional business advice alone isn’t enough to break the cycle. I’ll guide you in shifting from scarcity to sacred leadership—building a business that honors your rhythms, supports your growth, and allows you to step forward with clarity and confidence. Because your gifts are needed now more than ever.

If you’re ready to make 2025 the year you finally break free, listen in.

⭐ And, as a special gift, I want to offer you free access to one of my most popular programs, “The IFS Kickstarter Kit.” This will teach you the foundational concepts of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model—a proven framework that has helped me and countless others navigate challenges, build inner clarity, and create thriving, soul-aligned businesses.

Through this 7-part video series, you’ll gain a deep understanding of how IFS works and how to apply it to your own life and business. These are the same principles I teach in my advanced programs, now made accessible in an introductory format.
