In this heartfelt solo episode, I share updates from my life, including navigating a busy holiday season, new client wins, and reflections on how our past shapes our present. A recent interview reminded me of a childhood memory that revealed how ancestral joy—those little sparks of happiness passed down through generations—can manifest in our current dreams and endeavors. I dive into my father's passion for antique cars and how his joy influenced my latest professional chapter in ways I never imagined. This story is a beautiful reminder that it's not just ancestral trauma we carry but also the dreams and joys of those who came before us. Through stories of intuition, manifestation, and finding purpose in unexpected places, I invite you to reflect on how your own past may be influencing your current path. Whether it's something as simple as a hobby or as big as a career pivot, joy has a way of weaving through our lives in the most incredible ways. Let's take a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate those connections!

Running a business can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also come with challenges that drain your energy and enthusiasm. If you've been feeling disconnected, burnt out, or uninspired, you're not alone. The excitement that once fueled your entrepreneurial journey can fade over time, leaving you wondering if the joy you once had is truly gone for good. But here's the good news: there is hope. You don't have to settle for a business that feels like a constant grind. The loss of joy doesn't have to be permanent, and with the right tools and mindset shifts, you can reignite your passion and find fulfillment in your work once again. The first step is understanding that feeling burnt out or uninspired doesn't mean you're failing—it's a signal that something needs to change. Whether it's adjusting your business strategies, rethinking your goals, or taking time for self-care, small changes can lead to powerful results. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Power of social media is unmatched in today's world. However, we know that you, as the CEO and business owner, can't do it all while still operating at your highest level in your zone of genius. So, let us do the heavy lifting, and in the meantime, check out what could happen once you start to work with us…. Here at Meraki Media Management we help our clients in so many ways. A few of our clients recently got noticed through their social media pages and have achieved the following opportunities: Our very first client EVER got approached to be on a TV segment launching this month on ABC, NBC, FOX & WPHL! Our long-term skincare client has been chosen over a major skincare brand (hint: it starts with a D) to be the SOLE skincare provider to a well-known esthetics school in California. Each student will be trained using our specialty products and become extremely familiar with our brand. Another amazing client of ours was approached for a brand opportunity to become a paid creator for a company she already uses, and will be launching a partnership in the near future.

A gift I see a lot of HSPs (Highly Sensitive Persons) have is that we are able to see intention behind words - like a deeper intention. When I see my clients start to experience this, it is often very overwhelming. It's almost like a rush of information that our bodies were picking up on but that we hadn't consciously registered until that moment. For this reason, many of us may choose to spend more time alone during this phase of the process, simply because it's easier to manage the energy we're absorbing. I also believe most people naturally spend more time alone as they get older; however, this becomes necessary for HSPs in order to have the energy to interact and spend time with others. A perfect example of this is something that I saw on the recent @netflix show with @tylerhenrymedium show, where he talks about how channeling takes a toll on his body. He mentions in this show, when channeling certain lives, his body is actually feeling the sensations as he is tapping into their energy. Tyler's gift is what I like to think of as a HSP at one of the deepest levels we as humans have ever experienced. He spends a lot of time resting due to the toll that channeling takes on his body, which makes complete sense to me.  He also talks about how after this channeling, it takes time for him to disconnect. Sometimes, he even said he “leaves a piece of himself” with these souls during a reading which again, makes a lot of sense to me. I love this example because many of us can relate to it. While Tyler channels from the other side, an HSP is essentially channeling an energetic exchange with the people right in front of them. As this gift grows, HSPs might even begin to sense other things as they become more attuned to this energy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When you look at your life, are you able to find areas of joy? Things that you're so proud of making, developing, putting effort into?  Many business owners think that the more they pour into their business, the more they will naturally get out of it. However, when that is not the case, many of us are left frustrated, confused and even angry. It feels like we're working towards nothing - and sometimes, we wonder, what is the point?  In my own experience, when this happened, I was really pissed, drained and ready to throw in the towel. This moment, I have seen time and time again, is the exact tipping point that we all need in order to adjust our beliefs around acceptance and receiving.  This is when we can acknowledge that just because one aspect of our lives—like our business—isn't working out as planned, it doesn't mean nothing is. What did work out? What did you create already right in front of you that seems to be going well?  This gets us back into the state of understanding. This shift brings us back to the realization that something in your life that's working perfectly now—whether it's your kids, your puppy, your current home, that cup of coffee, or your relationship with your significant other—might have once felt like it would never work out, or that it might drain you until you had nothing left to give. But you never gave up. You kept going and now you can see the beauty in these beautiful things that you have. It was all worth it, right?  Learn more about your ad choices.

Where are my nervous system nerds?! Since learning more about the nervous system, I find myself leaning more towards conversations on this podcast to help us harness this amazing system each of us has.  This week we are chatting with @jessicaraddeo!  “I am a nervous system coach for women.

In this crazy world of social media, we can find ourselves fixating on the amount of views, likes, followers, etc. So much so that some of us business owners get wrapped up in the incorrect goals. We think that - and I have thought this as well - once I go viral, then I will be….rich….have endless amount of clients….get the recognition from others that we believe we need to seem credible.  But how much of this thought process is actually true? As many of you have seen over the years, going viral can kind of be like a one-hit wonder. It's really about what you have set up to capture leads prior to that and how you harness the growth and exposure from it. This week, we will dive into the mental and physical of what it takes to really be your own quiet power, giving yourself the stability to create and launch a brand. That way, when you do create an evergreen lead-generating system, that you're actually prepared for the outcome.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

These next two weeks, we are diving into the topic of being yourself! What if someone told you that being YOU was all you needed to be successful? That you have everything you need right now to make it, and make it big? What would you do next?  This concept took me a few years of sitting with it, wondering, if they're doing it, can't I? I gave up my power, asking others for their “secrets,” trying to replicate exactly what they did, thinking that that would make me money. At first, I was so focused on money because that's what every coach said was the most important. But was it important to me? I wasn't sure yet.  The more I set financial goals, the more disconnected I felt from my work. I was so concentrated on money that I kind of lost myself in the process. When I did not reach those goals, I made myself feel terrible, drifting further away from who I truly was and who I am today.  Listen, I'm not saying that money in today's society isn't important. We all know it is. But what I wasn't getting was why it felt so empty? I started this business to do it my own way. So why wasn't I doing just that? The more I tried their way, the more money I lost, and the more disconnected I felt from my company. So I tried something else…. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Here is the deal: I don't know about you, but I have met several people that run extremely successful businesses who strongly dislike social media. Some of them have started their companies without using social media at all and have created extremely high profit margins, which is amazing! Social media isn't for everyone, and when it comes to our marketing coaching, this is something we stress for our clients. Feeling pressured or pushed to show up online should be the last of their worries, especially when they're just starting their companies.  Social media can support your business when it has a time and place in your company. Sometimes, it's not the right time to start a social media campaign; others it's important to consider social media promotion in order to have a successful launch. It is all dependent on your season of business, business development, the ideal clients etc!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As most of us know, social media can be highly addictive. Many business owners find ourselves comparing through these platforms, thinking we may even get an over night success and years later beating ourselves up for not making it yet. Sometimes social media can even draw us in to where we have completely forgotten what we need to be doing and dissociation - also not great especially when you're a CEO.  A lot of my clients come to me thinking that their social media usage is way too high and they find themselves mindlessly scrolling for hours, getting little done and most of the time after scrolling in the scroll hole - they have little energy to accomplish whatever is necessary that day. Over simulation on these platforms need to be discussed more in my opinion and this week that is exactly what we are diving into.  Stay tuned for tips on how to disengage, what to do when your feed is overcrowded with people that arent your ideal clients, and how to stay focused and realign your energy as an HSP and business owner.  Learn more about your ad choices.

When you grab your phone to get on social media, do you ever stop to ask yourself, “Why am I reaching for this?” Better yet, “Why am I reaching for this specific platform?” When you are gathering information, you may reach for a platform like Pinterest. When you want to mindlessly scroll, you may be reaching for Instagram or TikTok. But most of the time, there is a conscious or subconscious reason why you are reaching for a certain platform.  The same is true for your clients! I hear people say all of the time, “Well my ideal client isn't on that platform.” However, is that really true? Most of our clients use all social media platforms, again for different reasons at different times. So, what if by not posting to all of the platforms you could be missing out on a critical touch point for a potential client?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The power of words has become extremely important to my marketing and to the journey of becoming a business owner over the past few years.  I have my minor in Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication, and in college, I learned a lot about words and how they can yield certain energies,especially in marketing. The more I got into running my own business, the more I found this to be true. I am by no means perfect when it comes to using words, and I still find myself questioning and stumbling in certain areas today. However, I can say that the impact of creating safety with words and making my clients and team feel heard has been a valuable skill, allowing me to build a business that can hopefully make an impact for my team and my clients.  This week, I am looking forward to uncovering the power of words.

Recently, I started reading a book called Zero Limits. Shout out to @aoifemindbodycoaching for sharing this book with me!  I was shocked at how much this book caused me to jump into action. I have been using the Ho'oponopono since she shared this tool with me a while back, but I hadn't read about the power behind this tool since this book. @drjoevitale shares many different stories about this prayer's power inside his book. This week on The End in Mind, I will be sharing a bit more about what I have learned so far. But let's start out first by understanding the meaning of this prayer- what is the intention?  Ho'oponopono (Ho Oh Pono Pono), roughly translated as “to make right”, “to correct,” is an ancient transformational and healing technique originating in Hawaii. Its simple message of 100% responsibility, repentance, and gratitude has been changing the lives of all it touches. Pretty powerful right?  Learn more about your ad choices.

How is energetics playing a role in your business?  Do you ever feel like you are just gaining momentum and all of the sudden, something happens? Your energy is drained and you find yourself back in freeze mode? This is exactly how your energy may be impacting your consistency, your presence with your clients, and even throwing you into a situation where you are negatively driving your clients or potential clients away.  When we say everything is energy - it's important to note that we are actually creating or utilizing energy in certain ways, which may be intentional or unintentional.  Join me today inside the @wearecocreated June 18th at 2 PM EST for our next Vulnerable Networking Meet up: Vulnerable Networking: Energetics and Conversions, where we ask if your energy repels you from reaching your goals.

This week we are chatting with Mind Coach @guineveremartin. We discussed her journey from the solitude of isolation to developing her business. Many would assume that living a Monk's lifestyle would be more challenging than launching a business; however, Guinevere shares the complete opposite actually on our upcoming podcast episode. She shares that starting a business was one of her biggest mirrors into areas of herself that she was overlooking. As most of us know now, when designing a brand, those areas need to be nurtured in order for us to reach our full potential.  What is one area of your business that you would like to nurture more? Is it a belief? A pattern? A thought loop, maybe?  www.guineveremartin.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
