But what if fairness isn't God's priority—obedience is?In this raw and redemptive episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I pull back the curtain on a defining moment in my journey: being falsely accused of financial fraud, facing an IRS audit, and hearing God say “Sign the paper.” What followed was confusion, heartbreak, and the kind of faith you can't fake.Discover how to discern God's voice when obedience feels like surrender.

AI SUMMARY: Summary: Felix from WAVE.space discusses their innovative Visa debit card, WAVE card, which allows users to spend Bitcoin anywhere Visa is accepted. Launched in February as a virtual card, they're working towards a physical card, facing delays due to partnerships with various entities, including banks and Visa/MasterCard. These partnerships are essential as WAVE.space outsources regulatory licenses to focus on product development. A key hurdle is getting card designs approved by Visa and MasterCard, who are cautious about brand association. WAVE.space is transitioning from Visa to MasterCard for better control over card settings within their platform. The card currently supports euros, with plans to expand to other currencies by partnering with entities in different regions, such as Estonia, to handle regulatory aspects. Users can create an account on the WAVE.space web app, complete KYC verification, and deposit Bitcoin to start using the card. Users can also connect self-custodial wallets via NostriWallet Connect to spend Bitcoin directly. WAVE.space aims to enable users to live on a Bitcoin standard, offering an instant swap feature for buying and selling Bitcoin between wallets and bank accounts. This service is facilitated through a partnership with a virtual assets service provider, which is also applying for MiCA licensing. Felix highlights that the company is using other Bitcoin focused companies to leverage themselves off of. The company charges a 1% fee on conversions, whether buying, selling, or spending Bitcoin. Customer feedback reveals unexpected use cases, including Bitcoin beginners using the card to understand Bitcoin better and buying Bitcoin with euros to spend via the card. Some users leverage the platform for reliable and private Bitcoin sales, as WAVE.space issues IBANs in the user's name, ensuring that transfers to their bank accounts appear as internal transfers, avoiding scrutiny from banks. Felix shares a story of someone in the UK struggling to buy a house after selling Bitcoin and recommends people use WAVE.space in Europe to avoid those issues. Felix says the company has a thousand users and is growing 70-80% each month. The company was bootstrapped by three co-founders and then had investment from angels, one of which was one of the first angel investors in Relay. Felix is looking for investors who understand the goals of the company. There are plans for loyalty and rewards programs, potentially integrating with platforms like Satsback, and expanding partnerships with airlines like EasyJet and accommodation providers like Airbnb. Felix shares that the company has a blog post talking about people shorting Bitcoin without realizing it. The WAVE card lowers people's time preference because it causes them to ask the question, "Is this worth 30,000 sats?" Felix recommends people check out the Telegram group, website, and Twitter account for the latest information. He plans to be at Bitcoin Forum in Bavaria and Lugano's Plan B conference. Felix jokes that if he had one orange pill left, he would give it to Christine Lagarde.

Today's guest is an absolute powerhouse of a mentor and a former 1:1 client of mine who I consider a friend by now. She is one of those women who embody what happens when you stop trying to shrink yourself into what the industry tells you to be – and instead go all in on who the fuck you actually are. Mirjam Novy has built not just one, but TWO magnetic online brands over the past 7 years – and she did not do so by obsessing over trends and rules. Instead, she showed up as her bold, intense, messy, real self. Now she helps other women build their EMPOWERED EMPIRES by turning their “too muchness” into their biggest superpower. We're diving deep into all things identity shifts and stepping into the next level, stripping away the non-literal filter, showing up as your true self, the correlation between healing work and success, fears when entering a breakthrough, the importance of embodying health feminine and masculine energy, and so much more! So babe, grab your cacao or matcha and a journal, because you're going to want to take notes and implement these golden nuggets! Curious about getting mentored 1-1 by me like Mirjam to upgrade your health, wealth and love life?I have ONE spot open for private coaching starting in December to lay the inner & outer grounds for 2026: CLAIM YOUR SPOT TO WORK WITH ME IN A PRIVATE SETTING HEREWhat's possible, you might wonder?In Mirjam's words:"The realization that I could finally SCALE once I learned how to balance my masculine and feminine energy was life-changing. I discovered that scaling doesn't work if you're hustling yourself to death, because it will never feel safe or fun. Now, for the first time, it feels safe to scale and I didn't even realize before that it hadn't felt safe. I think that's such an important point to highlight, because I think a lot of women are unaware of this (like I was).Another powerful piece is definitely how I transformed my love life. The love and appreciation I receive from the men in my life right now is iiiiinsane and I'm finally able to fully receive it."In this episode, we discuss: 00:40 - Intro to today's guest - a powerhouse mentor & former 1:1 client of mine, Mirjam Novy03:40 - Mirjam's journey and the identity shifts that allowed her to unlock her next level20:15 - Stripping away the non-literal filter in order to show up as your true & authentic self 27:25 - The correlation between identity & healing work, and success in your career36:35 - How to move through fear when entering a messy breakthrough season40:30 - Why embodying healthy masculine and feminine energy is so life-changing 51:50 - How Mirjam flipped being feminine in her business and masculine in dating59:45 - Mirjam's top tip Unfuck Your Life that you can integrate ASAPSimilar Episode: Episode 112: Becoming a top 1% feminine leader and creating a balanced lifestyle with Corinne DeFilippis—--Connect with Mirjam: Mirjam's Website: https://mirjamnovy.com/Mirjam's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ownitmirjamnovy/German Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mirjam.novy/Mirjam's Podcast: Tune into OWNING WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE here!Connect with Laura: Laura's Website: https://www.lauraherde.com/Laura's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laura.herde/Laura's 1-1 Coaching: https://www.lauraherde.com/application-1-1Laura's Coaching Certification Course: https://www.instagram.com/embodiedcoachacademy/More free resources for you:*FREE* HEAL YOUR FEMININE ENERGY GUIDE⁠*FREE* MASTERCLASS: THE ART OF ATTRACTION (MEN & MONEY)>> EMAIL ME TO CONNECT/ ASK QUESTIONS: hello@lauraherde.com>> FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM: @laura.herde Feel free to share this episode with your bestie, and tag us on IG when you listen so we can repost you!Make sure to be subscribed to UNFUCK YOUR LIFE, we publish episodes every single Tuesday.Thank you so much for tuning in, love xx

Philippe Bouissou: Aligning the Dots and Building Businesses that Grow

If you've ever caught yourself stuck in black and white thinking or feeling the pressure to be a good therapist, this episode might really land for you. I'm sharing my personal journey growing up in a deeply religious environment and how those early lessons about fear, guilt, and self-sacrifice still echo in my work today.We'll talk about how patterns from fundamentalist upbringings can sneak into our professional lives, shaping our beliefs about money, worthiness, and what it means to help others. I'll open up about the challenges of leaving the church, the residue of old fears, and the ongoing process of finding nuance and self-compassion. If you've ever felt pressure to be the “perfect” therapist, felt guilty for wanting more, or wondered how your past might still be shaping your present… this one's for you.Topics covered on Black and White Thinking:Growing up in fundamentalist churches and how it shaped my beliefsHow black and white thinking from religious environments can resurface in the lives of exvangelical therapistsThe myth that good therapists must be selfless and never care about moneyThe parallels between religious conditioning and professional expectations in therapyMy journey of leaving the church and the lingering patterns that followed meConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachFacebook group: Healing MoneyQuote:“You can leave the church, but all of those patterns of thinking are still in you.” - Felicia

You'll learn how these actions do double duty—cementing your brand in a subscriber's memory while improving sender reputation with Gmail and Yahoo. We share easy prompts you can deploy today, from “Reply with a keyword” for a free resource to giveaway formats that encourage forwarding to peers and bring new educators into your world.Next, we focus on service. Freebies help, but ideas that solve real classroom problems build authority faster. We talk through how to deliver practical, Monday-ready tips and then bridge to a related product that saves time and amplifies results. This isn't a tease; it's a natural extension of value that makes the purchase feel obvious and helpful.Finally, we make the case for unapologetic selling. Clear, direct sales emails set the stakes, define the fit, and create timely reasons to act. We cover frequency, messaging, and gentle urgency that respects your audience. By rotating emails that spark engagement, serve with substance, and sell with clarity, you'll see stronger opens, richer conversations, and more consistent sales over the next two to six months.If you're serious about growing a profitable TPT business through email, this is your roadmap.

What if the thing you loved most about starting your business is the very thing you've delegated away? In this episode, Casey sits down with Jane Scroggs, founder of two virtual assistant agencies supporting the property management industry. Jane brings her signature warmth and curiosity to a conversation about what happens when business growth pulls you away from the work that lights you up—and how to find your way back. Jane is asking the questions so many entrepreneurs ask: "Am I still in alignment? What brings me joy now? How much of my day actually feels purposeful?" And instead of burning it all down (a temptation she admits to), she's learning to find the magic within the business she's already built. This conversation is deeply reflective, practical, and full of "aha" moments. Casey guides Jane through a powerful exercise—recalling a childhood memory of flow—that reveals the golden thread running through her life and work: connection, curiosity, partnership, and creating "clubs" where people belong. In this grounded conversation, we explore: The sticky throat vs. the expansive chest: How to recognize alignment (or misalignment) through body sensations When growth feels like a trap: Why taking on more team and admin can pull entrepreneurs away from their zone of genius The childhood club creator: Jane's memory of making "potions" with her friend Cheryl and what it reveals about her true gifts Projectors in business: Why Jane thrives in visionary, big-picture roles and struggles in the weeds of execution The Cheryl you need: How the right person on your team can free you to stay in your gifts Perfectionists and delegation: Why having high standards isn't something to shame yourself for—it's about finding the right people who match that standard The small hinge that swings a big door: Why you don't always need to burn the business down—sometimes one role change shifts everything Shiny object syndrome vs. sticking it out: How to find sparkle and alignment within the business you already have Three words that anchor you: How defining your purpose in a short statement can guide every decision VA business models: Why there's no one right way to build—some thrive solo, others love leading teams This episode is for any business owner who's wondering if they've lost themselves in the growth, who's feeling the weight of team management, or who's simply asking, "What now?" It's a reminder that sometimes the answer isn't out there—it's in remembering who you were when you started.

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Andy Gwynn, the hardest thing in growing a small business is mastering sales and marketing. Many business owners struggle to effectively promote and sell their products or services, even when they offer great value. Andy believes that consistent marketing, clear systems, and the ability to adapt quickly are essential for sustainable growth. He also emphasizes that as a business scales, systemizing operations becomes one of the biggest challenges, requiring strong processes to support rapid expansion and maintain quality.  What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? According to Andy Gwynn, the business book that has helped him the most is “The E-Myth Revisited” by Michael Gerber. He explains that it taught him the importance of systemizing a business so it can run efficiently without relying solely on the owner. Andy also recommends “The Business Coach” by Brad Sugars, which aligns with his coaching background, and “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki, for shifting the mindset from simply working in a business to building one that creates long-term wealth and investment opportunities. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? According to Andy Gwynn, some of the best online learning resources for growing a small business include ChatGPT, YouTube, and the teachings of Russell Brunson, especially for improving webinars and sales strategies. He also values using platforms like LinkedIn for continuous learning and networking with experts in different industries. While Andy doesn't host his own dedicated podcast, he frequently shares insights through interviews and training content under his company, Three Degrees Social, helping business owners master LinkedIn marketing and digital growth strategies. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? According to Andy Gwynn, one of the best tools to help grow a small business is LinkedIn, especially when used strategically for sales and relationship building. He recommends using advanced LinkedIn features like Sales Navigator to identify ideal clients, automate outreach, and maintain consistent engagement. Andy also highlights the value of tools such as ChatGPT, Xero for bookkeeping, Dashlane for password management, and GoHighLevel for CRM and marketing automation. Together, these tools help small business owners save time, stay organized, and build meaningful connections that drive sustainable growth. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Andy Gwynn, the advice he would give himself on day one of starting out in business is to follow the system and get out of his own way. He admits that in the early days, he often let overconfidence and complacency lead to missed sales opportunities or inconsistent results. Andy emphasizes the importance of learning proven systems, sticking to them, and maintaining focus instead of constantly trying to reinvent the process. His key message is that success comes from discipline, structure, and trusting the process rather than relying solely on natural talent or intuition.
