After six days off-grid in the jungles of Mexico, I came home completely rearranged.
This episode is a love note to every heart-led entrepreneur who’s scared to be seen—but knows she’s here to lead differently.
If you’ve ever felt afraid to show up online, worried about being misunderstood, or exhausted trying to “get it right,” this one’s for you.
In this episode:
(00:02) My retreat experience in the jungle—and the profound peace of total disconnection
(04:06) The tension between wanting to lead and wanting to control perception
(07:45) Why showing up imperfectly is the highest form of leadership
(10:06) How conscious entrepreneurs are redefining business as sacred work
(12:31) The story of a woman who held her 20-year vision—and what it teaches us about resilience and trust
Key Takeaways:
You can’t control how others see you—and freedom lives on the other side of that truth.
The next era of business is built by conscious, energetically aligned leaders.
Destruction is often just a sacred invitation to rebuild with greater integrity.
