her Self: IFS & Spiritual Entrepreneurship

After I closed down my business in 2019 and then decided to rebuild it two years later, I had the benefit of hindsight and past trial and error to learn from. With the wisdom of my past experience, I could more intentionally and strategically rebuild my business from the ground up (instead of duct-taping things together piecemeal). Today I’m sharing the key steps I took to do this– the very same ones I share with the women I work with– as they can be applied to any small business owner. So, rather than building your business by default, build it with a clear, intentional design. Today’s episode will help you get clear on how to do that. And, as a special gift, I want to offer you free access to my on-demand course, “Getting Out of Your Own Way” (an IFS Daily Parts Meditation Kit to help you cultivate inner wholeness, harmony, and Self-Leadership at the start of each day).All you have to do is: 1) Leave a review of this podcast. 2) Email a screenshot of your review to hello@saraavantstover.comIt’s as simple as that! If you'd love to watch the video versions of these episodes, be sure to subscribe to the podcast's YouTube channel here.Resources:Pre-Order My New Book: Handbook for the Heartbroken Getting Out of Your Own Way: An IFS Daily Parts Meditation KitFree Mini-Course: 3 Lies that Hold Succesful Women BackConnect on InstagramMentioned in this episode:DYDB 2026 Regular

We usually don’t talk about trauma and business together in the same sentence, but that needs to change. And that’s what we’re doing here together today. Here’s the thing: Trauma impacts us ALL as entrepreneurs, to different degrees and in different ways– especially when you’re taking a creative risk or moving into uncharted territory. I’m going to share with you the #1 sign that your trauma may be impacting your business and some steps you can take to shift that. And, as a special gift, I want to offer you free access to my on-demand course, “Getting Out of Your Own Way” (an IFS Daily Parts Meditation Kit to help you cultivate inner wholeness, harmony, and Self-Leadership at the start of each day).All you have to do is: Leave a review of this podcast. Email a screenshot of your review to hello@saraavantstover.comIt’s as simple as that! If you'd love to watch the video versions of these episodes, be sure to subscribe to the podcast's YouTube channel here.Resources:Pre-Order My New Book: Handbook for the Heartbroken Getting Out of Your Own Way: An IFS Daily Parts Meditation KitFree Mini-Course: 3 Lies that Hold Succesful Women BackConnect on InstagramMentioned in this episode:DYDB 2026 Regular

Starting at a young age, we’re taught to ignore our body’s signals (like the need to go to the bathroom or drink water). As we get older, the repercussions of silencing our instincts become more and more grave. This can lead us to get (or stay) in harmful relationships, mistrust our feelings, and perpetuate an ever-widening split between our bodies, psyches, and souls. Rather than perpetuating this split through spiritual bypassing, it’s time for us women to remember our innate strength to deeply feel– even, and especially, the hard stuff. Today I’m talking with bestselling author, artist, and transformational coach, Alexandra Roxo, about her beautiful new book, Dare to Feel: The Transformational Path of the Heart. In its pages, she guides us to reconnect with the important messages from our souls that ALL of our feelings hold. And, as a special gift, I want to offer you free access to my on-demand course, “Getting Out of Your Own Way” (an IFS Daily Parts Meditation Kit to help you cultivate inner wholeness, harmony, and Self-Leadership at the start of each day).All you have to do is: Leave a review of this podcast. Email a screenshot of your review to hello@saraavantstover.comIt’s as simple as that! If you'd love to watch the video versions of these episodes, be sure to subscribe to the podcast's YouTube channel here.Resources:Alexandra RoxoPre-Order My New Book: Handbook for the Heartbroken Getting Out of Your Own Way: An IFS Daily Parts Meditation KitFree Mini-Course: 3 Lies that Hold Succesful Women BackConnect on InstagramMentioned in this episode:DYDB 2026 Regular

Money, pricing, and enoughness, oh my! Today we’re talking about something that every woman I work with struggles with– and that I used to struggle with- underpricing and overdelivering. It’s a recipe for burnout, resentment, health challenges, and a compromised work/life balance at large. Not to mention feelings of scarcity and financial anxiety. Let’s not do that anymore. I’m going to share with you some key steps to take to start pricing from your true power, not the parts inside of you that never feel like they’re “enough.” And, as a special gift, I want to offer you free access to my on-demand course, “Getting Out of Your Own Way” (an IFS Daily Parts Meditation Kit to help you cultivate inner wholeness, harmony, and Self-Leadership at the start of each day).All you have to do is: Leave a review of this podcast. Email a screenshot of your review to hello@saraavantstover.comIt’s as simple as that! If you'd love to watch the video versions of these episodes, be sure to subscribe to the podcast's YouTube channel here.Resources:Free Guide: 5 Money Mistakes NOT to make in 2024Getting Out of Your Own Way: An IFS Daily Parts Meditation KitCreate Your Dream Business: 12-Month Mentorship & MastermindFree Mini-Course: 3 Lies that Hold Succesful Women BackConnect on InstagramMentioned in this episode:DYDB 2026 Regular

Eight years ago today, February 4, 2016, my life fell apart. I now see that fateful date as the demarcating line between who I was and who I am to become. Since then, my path of rebuilding every crevice of my inner and outer world hasn’t been easy. But it’s been beyond worth it. I’m only now beginning to stand on the deeply aligned and sturdy foundation I’ve created for myself, both personally and professionally.Today I want to have an honest conversation with you about what this process of creating a whole, soul-aligned foundation for yourself and your business entails. I’ve found that it’s not common to find people who are genuinely doing this, much less teaching you how to do it. Since 2024 is the year of quantum leaps, the more committed you are to living your own deep truth, the more possibility there is for you to experience the miraculous in the next twelve months. If you feel the pull of that soul desire and potential as much as I do, this conversation is for you. If you’re interested in being part of our Create Your Dream Business community, applications are open for a couple of more days for our February circle.

Today's episode holds a special place in my heart, not just because we're celebrating these soulful, Self-led entrepreneurs, which I love that we are, but because I want this to be an example of what’s possible, especially for women in business.  I think there's a special power in sharing our successes and our challenges, what’s working and what isn’t.When we talk about our journeys, we normalize and validate hardships, while also empowering others to dream big and move toward their goals. When you walk away from this episode, I only want you to think, “If they can do it, so can I.” Enjoy!Here’s where to learn more about these beautiful women: Carrie HaynesEmily O’NealJulia ForbergIf you’re interested in being part of our Create Your Dream Business community, applications are now open for our February circle.

I know from my own journey as a business owner over these past decades, as well as the experiences of all of my students and clients, that overwhelm and disregulated nervous systems are things we need to be constantly working on.
