Let's address the elephant in this visibility glow-up room: imposter syndrome.
In this episode, I'm breaking down what an imposter actually is (spoiler: unless you're actively scamming people out of their life savings or the Tinder Swindler, you're fine) and why feeling intimidated just means you're expanding. I'll walk you through the real mindset shifts and practical moves that'll help you own your expertise... no more $5K+ certifications required.
I'm pulling from my own messy AF business moments, podcasting fumbles, and what I've seen working with clients to show you why most of us feel like frauds when we're literally just... growing.
You'll learn how to build ACTUAL self-trust through prep, being completely honest about what you know (and don't), and really embodying your thing, so you can stop enrolling in 8 courses every quarter to "be ready".

Your most requested episode is here: HOW TO ASK FOR MONEY!
How do you make such a big, bold, audacious ask?! In today's ep, I'm breaking down why money is such an anxiety-inducing topic, and the different ways to ask for money, including asking for a raise, a family investment into your biz, a refund from an airline and more!
PLUS, I spill the tea on the time I was in Australia and BROKE AF. I'm talking "living off a tax refund with maxed out credit cards and nannying for accommodation" broke. This experience taught me how feeling shame wasn't a luxury I could afford.
What You'll Learn:

Remember when every coach told you to "post consistently", "show up" and "provide value" on social media? Somatic Depth Coach Antonia Dolhaine did that for YEARS. She created insane viral graphics, wrote endless carousels, and dealt with the classic entrepreneur nightmare: hours spent on Canva graphics leading to tons of inquiries from people who weren't actually a good fit for her work. Wasted time, energy and effort. Sound familiar?
Antonia ditched the content grind and worked with me to get her featured on podcasts instead. Something wild happened: Her applications dropped, but her revenue spiked!
Turns out, getting 30 knee-jerk reactions from a viral post isn't as valuable as getting 3 people who've already heard your voice for an hour and know exactly what you're about (and are ready to make a high-ticket investment).
In this conversation, we break down why she made the switch, and the incredible visibility glow-up that's happened since.

In this kickoff episode of "The Art of the Ask," a limited series podcast all about the power of asking for what you ACTUALLY want—whether in business, life, or relationships, I share how I've SHOT MY SHOT and gotten exactly what I wanted (and of course, how you can too)!
This episode starts with a definition of what "asking" actually means (you know my Virgo Moon/Rising loves a Latin root or definition), and how I built my "ask" muscle, first with landlord negotiations, and then with a massive wellness influencer...
What else to expect this episode:
- Why asking for what you want is often seen as "cringe" or selfish, and how to overcome this limiting mindset
- Real-life example of how I negotiated with my landlord and the ripple effects of those asks
- The importance of creating a win-win situation when making requests
- How asking led to unexpected DRAMATIC business growth, including landing podcast guest spots and new clients (like, LOTS of new clients)
- The law of reciprocity and why timing and empathy matter when making an ask
- The value of orbit-jumping: getting out of your echo chamber to reach new audiences and opportunities
