Episode 33: Pleasure, Profit & Permission to be Yourself with Julia Wells
In this episode I chat with Julia Wells (a.k.a. Julia Mother Effing Wells) to talk running a pleasure based business and what that even means. Julia is a fellow introvert and first made the jump into entrepreneurship and coaching about 5 years ago and had zero clue as to what she was doing. She took courses, hired coaches, posted on social media, made offers and tried to sell yet, basically got nowhere. She eventually got sick of spending money on things that didn’t work and didn’t feel good and decided that she had to find what worked for her. She quickly realized that the thing that makes us innately female is the very thing missing in business that is robbing us of the income and impact we’re so longing to make. We chat:What a pleasure based business is (it’s not all sexual!)Prioritizing and delegatingWhy introverts are so good at relationship buildingHow to have a small audience but large businessBreaking rules and being shameless in life and businessPleasure when it comes to profitBy undoing the conditioning that says we have to work harder, crush our competition, used fear based marketing, and sacrifice until we make it (aka delay pleasure until we hit our goals) Julia’s pleasure based business took off and she now teaches others how to have the same.

Episode 29: Human Design 101 with Analena Fuchs
This week I’m joined by Analena Fuchs to discuss Human Design at its basis. Analena is a Quantum Human Design and deconditioning expert and helps her clients to create magical results in all areas of their life. As a trained Quantum Human Design practitioner she has discovered many powerful tools to assist in performing the deep inner work that comes along with self-discovery. For the longest time Analena tried to figure things out in her head and set rigid goals for herself, but it never quite worked in the way she hoped until she dove into the world of Human Design and began to better understand herself and how effortless the shifts really could be just by gaining a new sense of knowledge. Analena and I discuss: How human design came about and where it starts for usThe 64 gates within human design, specifically gate 40Why you should never ask the question “what’s wrong with me?The 5 human design typesHow we can use our human design chart to make informed decisionsDeconditioning and limiting beliefsThe Sacral ChakraAnalena believes success does not have to be hard. Through her own personal experience and now with her clients she has seen many people move away from a life dominated by fears, anxiety, and playing small, and step into a life of opportunities and synchronicities.
