In this episode of the More Alive podcast, I’m thrilled to share an intimate and powerful conversation with Nicole Culver, one of my students and a shining embodiment of The Pleasure Model™ philosophy. Nicole is a seven-figure entrepreneur who didn’t just learn the model—she’s living proof of how prioritizing pleasure over pressure transforms business, relationships, and life itself.

We dive into the story of her journey from hustle-driven burnout to deeply aligned, joy-fueled success. Nicole brought her curious and nuanced questions about what it really means to build wealth and impact with ease—and I got to share the practical, magnetic framework that changed everything for both of us: “Not a penny from pressure, only pleasure.”

Tune in as we explore:

• The subtle shift that freed Nicole to redefine success and wealth in her terms.
• Why your nervous system needs to rest before it can rise—and how pleasure is the key.
• How to spot (and stop) sneaky pressure in your business, parenting, or self-care.
• What happens when you let go of perfectionism and let the muse lead.
• My personal take on rewiring old scripts about "sacrifice equals success" (spoiler: it doesn’t).

This isn’t just theory—this is about finding aliveness in everything you do, creating from curiosity and play, and magnetizing what you desire most. Whether you’re navigating a new season in your business or you’re curious about ditching hustle for good, Nicole and I are breaking it all down for you.

Grab your headphones, hit play, and let’s shift into pleasure together.
