Business has been taught like it's a rigid system with one right answer. Follow the framework, hit the metrics, scale the offer. But for most women entrepreneurs, that approach eventually hits a wall... and nobody talks about why. Samantha Fackler has spent 14 years in brand and marketing at companies like Adobe, PayPal, and LinkedIn — and even longer learning what actually moves a business forward. The answer, in her experience, is never just the frameworks, and it's never just "manifestation vibes." It's both. Your offer suite and your astrology season. Your pricing psychology and your nervous system. Your systems and your intuition. When those things work together, business stops feeling like a fight and starts feeling like yours. This is the weekly podcast for women entrepreneurs who are ready to build that way — whether you're growing fast and feeling spiritually disconnected, successful on the outside and quietly burning out, navigating pregnancy or postpartum, or in the middle of a season of life that's asking you to build differently than before. Every week Samantha brings honest solo episodes and real conversations with astrologers, psychologists, Human Design experts, psychic mediums, healers, and women building businesses that actually fit their lives. If you've been asking: - Why does my marketing feel so hard when I know I'm good at what I do? - How do I trust my intuition when I have a real business to run? - What is this season of my life trying to tell me about my business? - Why do I feel successful on paper but something still feels off? - How do I grow without it costing me my energy, my health, or myself? - What do astrology, Human Design, and my nervous system have to do with my results? Hit follow and get the clarity, confidence, and calm you need to move forward with a business that finally feels like it's working for you. New episodes every Tuesday.https://www.samanthafackler.comfalseepisodichttps://feeds.captivate.fm/confessions-of-a-spiritual-entrepreneur/nopodcast89.

But Here's What Nobody Tells You About Actually Receiving ItI recently attended a women's wealth summit in Arizona and left with a completely different perspective on why so many spiritual entrepreneurs stay stuck in scarcity even when they're doing everything right.

This episode is that conversation. And I'm bringing something most people in this space don't have, a background in financial technology, payments, and blockchain. Money is energy isn't just spiritual. It's literally how capital moves.

In this episode:

  • What a room full of VCs and investors taught me about the energy of receiving
  • Why money blocks aren't a mindset problem, they're a fear problem
  • The one question that allows you to receive more
  • Why abundance affirmations alone don't work and what actually creates monetary flow
  • How to know if you can genuinely hold the capacity for what you say you want
  • My confession: the fear of judgment around how I make money and what releasing it changed

This is not financial advice. This is the money conversation most people aren't having (yet).

Where Spirituality Meets Business: Letting Go of Control to Find Flow with Cari Jacobs-CrovettoAwakening is the easy part—learning how to live it inside your business, your relationships, and your everyday decisions is where the real work spiritual work as an entrepreneur begins.

This conversation explores the tension so many entrepreneurs feel between ambition and alignment. On one hand, there’s the drive to build, grow, and succeed. On the other, there’s a quieter pull toward presence, intention, and something deeper beneath the surface.

In this episode, I sit down with Cari Jacobs-Crovetto to unpack what it takes to integrate a spiritual life with a business life. We talk about the reality of inner work alongside business growth, the moments that force you to slow down, and what begins to shift when you stop operating from your head.

If you’ve ever felt the push and pull between doing more and being more—this conversation will land.

What you’ll take away:

  • A new perspective on balancing ambition with inner alignment
  • Why slowing down can create more clarity and momentum
  • How to begin moving out of autopilot and into intentional living
  • A grounded look at integrating spirituality into everyday business decisions

Running a Business While Pregnant: What I Let Go of in My Second TrimesterI closed both of my communities. I let go of my marketing assistant. I restructured a live program mid-pregnancy. And somewhere in all of it... I felt more free than ever.

This is my honest confessional from second trimester as a pregnant entrepreneur: what I let go of, the emotional side of it, and what happened to my business when I stopped forcing a plan and started listening to my body instead.

And if you're not pregnant — this one's still for you. Because the real theme here is recalibration. What it looks like to release the things you built when they stop fitting, even when you can't fully explain why yet.

In this episode:

→ Why the "most energetic trimester" still required a full nervous system recalibration — and how I learned to tell the difference between aligned action and forced momentum

→ The two communities I closed, the marketing assistant I let go of, and the live launch I restructured mid-pregnancy — and why every single decision made my business lighter

→ The grief that came with letting go, even when you know it's right

→ Body comments, belly size insecurity, and what it actually taught me about other people's opinions (of your body and your business)

→ How to know when you're resting because you need it versus avoiding something you need to do

→ Rapid-fire second trimester tips for pregnant entrepreneurs: baby showers, maternity clothes that don't suck, nesting, skincare, and slowing down your mornings

The real insight from this trimester: when you stop forcing the strategy, something more aligned takes its place.

Spirit Babies: Psychic Medium Mo Explains Loss, Reincarnation & IntuitionWhat if the children meant for you are already around—watching, waiting, and connected to your energy before you ever hold them? And what if the babies you've lost aren't gone at all?

I sit down with Mo, a psychic medium with the rare gift of drawing people's loved ones in spirit without ever seeing their photos. This episode is definitely an emotional one because we are exploring one of the most tender and profound topics in the spiritual world: spirit babies.

Mo shares how mediumship works, what spirit babies are (and the many forms they take), and why souls who've passed through miscarriage, abortion, or infant loss remain deeply connected to you.

And in a beautiful, unplanned moment, Mo shares intuitive messages for Samantha about her own spirit babies—including visions of children yet to come.

Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating loss, or simply curious about the unseen world around you, this conversation will shift how you think about intuition, spirit, and the souls we're meant to love.

You don't need to become a psychic medium to access your intuition—but after this episode, you'll understand how to start listening.

What You'll Learn:

  • What spirit babies are and the different forms they can take—from children not yet born to those who have passed
  • The spiritual perspective on miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, and infant loss
  • Why our loved ones in spirit meet our babies before they're even born
  • How pregnancy can unlock and strengthen your intuitive abilities
  • The different types of psychic senses and how they show up
  • Practical ways to connect with your own intuition
  • How to set boundaries with your intuitive gifts and spiritual work

Boundaries for Entrepreneurs: 3 Types That Protect Your Energy and Your BusinessYou've heard it a thousand times: set better boundaries. But what about the boundaries you can't see? The ones inside your own head, around the stories you tell yourself, or around your ability to actually receive the support you're desperately craving?

As I am nearing maternity leave, I want to pull back the curtain on three boundary breakdowns that showed up in my life recently—and what they revealed about how we actually protect our energy, creativity, and capacity to lead.

In this episode:

  • The invisible boundary: recognizing when old fears are quietly running the show (and a practice for soothing them without pushing them away)
  • Why receiving support feels harder than giving it—and what that resistance is really protecting
  • The ask that sounds casual but isn't—and how to honor your expertise without guilt or apology

Pregnancy in Your 30s, Egg Freezing, & Postpartum Recovery — An OB-GYN Tells AllThinking about kids while building a business? This is the conversation I wish I had before getting pregnant.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Caledonia Buckheit, a board-certified OB-GYN, to break down what you actually need to know about fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum — without fear, fluff, or internet myths.

We talk about how to think about family planning as an ambitious woman, when egg freezing actually makes sense, and what pregnancy and recovery really look like in your 30s.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s no clear roadmap for this phase of life — this episode will change that.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The first question every OB-GYN asks when you’re thinking about kids
  • When egg freezing is worth it (and when it’s not)
  • What’s actually different about pregnancy in your 30s vs 20s
  • How to optimize fertility for both you and your partner
  • Why exercise during pregnancy is one of the most underused tools
  • The truth about postpartum recovery (that no one prepares you for)
  • How to build a real support system — especially as an entrepreneur
  • The 18-month spacing rule and why it matters for your body

Brand Differentiation: Why You're Blending In and How to Stand OutComparison might be the thief of joy, but it's also stealing your brand, your momentum, and your ability to stand out!

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure of your positioning, or like your message isn’t quite landing, this episode will give you a new lens to look through.

In This Episode, you'll discover:

  • How comparison shows up in subtle (and unexpected) ways
  • The difference between “safe” and “competitive” energy in business
  • Why you might blend in instead of stand out
  • The 3 steps to building a strong brand

Emotions, Mother-Daughter Relationships & Feminine Leadership with Genoveva La PlacaEmotional intelligence shapes far more than we realize, from how we lead in business to how we relate to the people closest to us.

In this episode, Samantha sits down with speaker, executive coach, and CoLab founder Genoveva La Placa to explore the deeper role emotions play in leadership, relationships, and self-awareness. Genoveva shares her journey from CFO of a half-billion-dollar hedge fund to becoming a speaker who helps women understand emotions as messengers instead of problems to fix.

Their conversation explores the connection between emotions and the body, why many women are conditioned to suppress what they feel, and how becoming more aware of our emotional landscape can change the way we make decisions in business and life.

They also touch on feminine leadership, intuition, and the powerful influence of mother-daughter patterns that can quietly shape how we show up in the world.

This episode invites you to rethink emotions... not as something to control or fix, but as something that may have something important to say.

In this episode:

  1. Why emotional intelligence is one of the strongest predictors of leadership success
  2. The connection between emotions, the body, and decision-making
  3. How many women are conditioned to suppress emotions, and what that costs us
  4. What feminine leadership actually looks like in business and life
  5. How mother-daughter patterns can shape self-worth, relationships, and leadership
  6. Why learning to process emotions can change how we lead and communicate

Outgrowing Friends, Clients, and Team MembersThere's a moment in every season of growth where you look around and realize — some of the people who were meant for that old version of you... aren't meant for this new one.

In this episode, I'm getting honest about what it means to outgrow friends, team members, and clients — and why the part no one talks about is the grief that comes after. Whether it's a friendship that slowly faded, a team member you had to let go, or a client relationship that ran its course, these endings carry weight. And they deserve more than a quick pivot.

I'm also sharing the signals I use in my own business to know when something needs to change (including the one that woke me up at 2 AM more than once).

If you're in a season of expansion and you can feel the relationships around you shifting, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

  1. The "cast of characters" framework: why every chapter of your life attracts different people, and why that's by design
  2. The two ways relationships end (and why one of them sneaks up on you)
  3. The nervous system signal that tells you it's time to let a team member go, even before your brain catches up
  4. Why I don't stay in client relationships just for a paycheck, and what I do instead
  5. The grief moment that actually sets you free — and why skipping it keeps you stuck

Fertility, Menopause, and the Missing Conversation in Women’s Health with Kristin HauserWhat if everything you've been told about your cycle, your fertility, and your body's timeline was only half the story?

Women’s health is filled with cultural narratives that many of us never question: fertility timelines, pushing through hormonal symptoms, bouncing back postpartum, or dreading menopause.


In this episode, Samantha sits down with acupuncturist and herbalist Kristin Hauser to explore a radically different perspective on women’s health rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, somatic awareness, and holistic fertility care.


Kristin shares why fertility support shouldn’t begin after months or years of trying, how nervous system health and nourishment impact hormones, and why reconnecting with the wisdom of the womb can transform the way women move through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause.


We also talk about the deeper emotional and spiritual themes that arise through motherhood — including surrender, capacity, and learning to trust the body’s intelligence.

If you’re navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, or simply want to understand your cycle and hormones on a deeper level, this conversation will open your perspective.


In this episode:

  1. Why waiting until you're ready to conceive to learn about your fertility might be the biggest gap in women's health
  2. Why burning yourself out might be the reason your hormones are off
  3. How cultural narratives around fertility, birth, and menopause shape women’s experiences
  4. Why reconnecting with the body and pelvic space can deepen intuition and wellbeing
  5. How motherhood and fertility journeys often invite surrender, growth, and expanded capacity



About Kristin Hauser:

Kristin Hauser is an acupuncturist, herbalist, and founder of Womb Medicine. Her work sits at the intersection of Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbal medicine, pelvic health, and somatic education.

She specializes in supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and hormonal health, while also mentoring practitioners who want to bring more holistic care into women’s health.

First Trimester Reflections on Entrepreneurship, Identity Shifts & IntuitionWhat really changes during the first trimester of pregnancy, especially when you’re also running a business?

Not just the physical side of things, but the emotional, spiritual, and identity shifts that have already started happening. Because the truth is, becoming a mother doesn’t just flip on the day a baby arrives. For me, the transformation started the moment I got pregnant.

If you’re someone who is pregnant, thinking about becoming a mother one day, or just curious about what women in your life might be going through during this chapter, I hope this conversation helps you feel a little more connected to the process.

And yes… I also share the baby’s gender at the end of the episode!

In this episode I talk about:

  1. What trying to conceive actually felt like emotionally
  2. The experience that shifted my mindset around pregnancy
  3. What my first trimester has really been like
  4. The identity changes that are already happening
  5. How pregnancy is changing the way I think about business
  6. Letting go of control and learning to trust intuition
  7. The ripple effects pregnancy can have on friendships and boundaries
  8. Why I’m feeling more connected to my purpose than ever

In this conversation, I sit down with KC Steinbeck (tarot reader, astrologer, intuitive, and business owner) to talk about discernment, self-trust, and what it looks like to run a spiritual business through different seasons of growth.

We get into how to tell the difference between intuition and anxiety, how to know when to follow a nudge vs. stay the course, and how to navigate the visibility vs. rest tension without spiraling into fear or feeling behind. KC also shares his behind-the-scenes season: scaling to over a thousand readings, burning out, and shifting into a membership model that supports sustainability.

In this episode:

  1. Why intuition in business isn’t about “trusting the vibe” and how I tell when it’s actually anxiety
  2. The hidden reason authenticity online feels harder the more successful your business becomes
  3. What burnout is really asking for when your business scales faster than your nervous system can handle
  4. How to know when it’s time to rest, pivot, or stay the course even when doubt is loud
  5. The subtle ways entrepreneurs outsource self-trust without realizing it (and how to reclaim it)

How I Built a "Human" Brand in the Age of AIBranding fear is everywhere right now, especially if you’re thinking about rebranding, refreshing your website, or expanding your marketing in 2026.

In this episode, I break down why the fear of “losing yourself” in branding is real — and why it’s also completely avoidable. I share insights from my early career at TBWA and my years working in brand strategy to explain why branding must come before marketing if you want consistency, trust, and results.

I walk through real-world examples of branding done well, like Walmart reconnecting with its heritage, and branding that missed the mark, including Vera Bradley losing alignment with its core audience.

I also talk about the growing role of AI and why your human essence will be the biggest differentiator moving forward. This episode is for entrepreneurs who want to grow and evolve without becoming another template, and who want a brand that actually feels like them.

In this episode:

  1. Branding is the foundation — marketing won’t work without it
  2. Your unique essence is your strongest differentiator in 2026
  3. AI makes human connection more valuable, not less
  4. Consistency builds trust; inconsistency erodes it
  5. Do the identity work before investing in design or a rebrand

Outgrowing the Version of You That Built This and the Limiting Beliefs That Come With ItYour limiting beliefs don’t need to be fixed, they need to be felt.

In this episode we are taking a non-traditional approach to limiting beliefs by working with the body instead of the mind. Rather than journaling fears or repeating affirmations, I am explaining why real transformation happens somatically, through awareness, embodiment, and presence.

I share how limiting beliefs form as protective patterns, how they influence the quality of your work and energy, and why confidence and creativity don’t live in your thoughts alone. If you’re stepping into a new season of business, creativity, or leadership, and feel like something internal needs to shift first, this episode will give you a grounded, embodied way forward.

In this episode:

  1. Why mindset work alone doesn’t dissolve limiting beliefs
  2. How to locate beliefs and identities in the body
  3. Somatic practices to embody your future self now
  4. How to create space for expansion without forcing change

The Coaching Breakthrough That Transformed an Entire Business with Nikki Corbett, The Scarlet EditOwning your real story can completely rewrite what’s possible for your business.

In this episode, I sit down with private client and host of The Scarlet Edit, Nikki Corbett, to share what happens when you stop skimming the surface of your brand and build a business rooted in your true purpose. Nikki opens up about leaving corporate in 2023, nomading through Europe, and hitting “Groundhog Day” in her life and business before everything changed.

You’ll hear how Nikki went from a general entrepreneurship show to creating The Scarlet Edit, a podcast dedicated to the taboo corners of relationships: affairs, divorces, situationships, and all the messy, shame-filled moments we usually hide. Inside my private mentorship and The Brand Edit, Nikki realized her past relationship as “the other woman” wasn’t something to bury, it was the key to her most aligned work.

If you’ve felt the nudge that your business could be bigger, deeper, or more you, this conversation will show you what’s possible when you bet on yourself and get support.

 

In this episode:

  • How Nikki turned her most vulnerable relationship story into a powerful, shame-free brand
  • The role The Brand Edit played in clarifying her niche, visuals, and message
  • Why Scarlet Edit’s first month became her highest-download month ever
  • How she’s building a safe, paid community around taboo relationship stories
  • The mindset and implementation required to actually use coaching to transform your business

]]>Owning your real story can completely rewrite what’s possible for your business.

In this episode, I sit down with private client and host of The Scarlet Edit, Nikki Corbett, to share what happens when you stop skimming the surface of your brand and build a business rooted in your true purpose. Nikki opens up about leaving corporate in 2023, nomading through Europe, and hitting “Groundhog Day” in her life and business before everything changed.

You’ll hear how Nikki went from a general entrepreneurship show to creating The Scarlet Edit, a podcast dedicated to the taboo corners of relationships: affairs, divorces, situationships, and all the messy, shame-filled moments we usually hide. Inside my private mentorship and The Brand Edit, Nikki realized her past relationship as “the other woman” wasn’t something to bury, it was the key to her most aligned work.

If you’ve felt the nudge that your business could be bigger, deeper, or more you, this conversation will show you what’s possible when you bet on yourself and get support.

 

In this episode:

  • How Nikki turned her most vulnerable relationship story into a powerful, shame-free brand
  • The role The Brand Edit played in clarifying her niche, visuals, and message
  • Why Scarlet Edit’s first month became her highest-download month ever
  • How she’s building a safe, paid community around taboo relationship stories
  • The mindset and implementation required to actually use coaching to transform your business

Listen to This Before You Set Your Next Business GoalsMost entrepreneurs are setting goals from fight-or-flight and then wondering why nothing sticks. In this episode, I break down the deeper energetic and strategic foundations that need to be in place before you even think about revenue targets, launch plans, or audience growth.

I share how I approach goal setting as both a business mentor and lifelong goal-obsessed Capricorn, and why I treat it as a sacred act rather than a rushed to-do. You’ll hear the exact pre-work I walk myself through!

If you’ve ever set big goals, fallen short, and made it mean something about you, this conversation will feel like a reset for how you hold your vision, your numbers, and your energy as a spiritual entrepreneur.

In this episode:

  • My grounded pre-goal ritual that you can use. 
  • How astrology and numerology can help you map energetic seasons in your business
  • The difference between vision, goals, plans, strategies, and priorities (and how they stack)
  • Why “quantum leaps” create collapse and what sustainable growth actually looks like

Unlock Creative Magic: Rituals with Word Witch Kate BelewCreativity isn't something you chase, it's something you wake up. In this conversation, I sit down with poet, author, and self-proclaimed Word Witch Kate Belew to explore rituals that unlock inspiration, the power (and reclamation) of the word witch, and how to confidently claim identities like writer, artist, and creator.

You'll hear how simple, intentional practices—from automatic writing and dreamwork to nature walks and even doing the dishes—can become portals to more courageous, resonant work. We also unpack creativity and spirituality, the difference between spelling and a "spell," and Kate's hot take: writer's block is a myth.

In This Episode:

  • What "witch" can mean today: cycles, ritual, advocacy, intention—and how to try it on in your own way
  • Creative rituals to spark momentum: automatic writing, altar-craft, dreamwork, "finger-painting" the page
  • Identity reclamation: saying "I'm a writer/poet/artist" before the world does
  • Creativity as conversation with the mystery (and why play matters)
  • Why contrast fuels art—and how to find it in the mundane
  • Navigating spirituality, boundaries, and hope in messy times

Kate Belew is a poet, initiated green witch, and author of Word Witch, a guide for creative rituals. She co-hosts Tamed Wild's Magic & Alchemy podcast and shares weekly poetry prompts on Substack.

This show is for women who are scaling service-based businesses—creatives, CEOs, and agency owners—who care just as much about inner alignment as they do about external success. 

They’ve moved beyond the hustle and now crave grounded guidance, elevated strategy, and space to reconnect with their voice, energy, and next-level vision.

Listeners walk away with more clarity, confidence, and alignment—along with the tools to attract clients, refine offers, and lead their business from a place of ease and integrity.

  • How do I build a brand that stands out but still reflects me?
  • What backend systems actually support sustainable growth and protect my energy?
  • How do I market in a way that works and feels good?
  • What’s my next offer—and how do I position it to stand out?
  • How do I lead a team with clarity and confidence?
  • How is my relationship with money affecting my business?
  • How do I balance listening to my intuition along with implementing business strategy?
  • What kind of marketing actually works long-term—without burning me out?
  • How do I scale without losing my center?
  • What rituals actually help during a launch—or when I’m picking up the pieces after one?
  • How can I prevent burnout as an entrepreneur?
  • How do I make my business feel like mine again?

Behind the Scenes of My Latest Launch: What Worked And What Didn’t WorkIn this episode, Samantha goes behind-the-scenes of her recent launch for The Brand Edit group program—what worked, what didn’t, and what it taught her about herself and her audience. With real-time reflections and a no-fluff breakdown of both the emotional rollercoaster and strategic takeaways, this episode is a must-listen for any business owner in launch mode (or about to be). You’ll walk away with practical advice, fresh mindset shifts, and permission to embrace the messy middle of building something meaningful!

What you’ll learn:

  • The real reason strategy sometimes doesn’t resonate in your messaging (and what to do instead)
  • How to plan a launch around your energy and not just your calendar
  • Why launching feels like a portal and how to emerge stronger on the other side
  • The surprising power of “show, don’t tell” moments in marketing
  • What to do when a launch doesn’t go as expected (and your confidence takes a hit)
  • How to leverage your community and tap into new networks without paid ads
  • Why batching content and preparing in advance is crucial for your nervous system
  • Emotional resilience tools for riding the highs and lows of launching
  • How to use market research to validate your offer and your belief
  • Why fewer people in your program might actually be the biggest gift

Questions answered in this episode:

  • How do I make sure my launch content actually resonates?
  • What if no one signs up right away…does that mean I’m failing?
  • How do I emotionally handle the ups and downs of launching?
  • Is it okay to pivot my messaging mid-launch?
  • How do I time a launch around my life, team, and energy?
  • When do you know if your offer needs to be refined or if it’s just timing?
  • Why isn’t my audience responding to strategy talk (and what should I say instead)?
  • How can I tap into other people’s networks to expand my launch reach?

Vish Chatterji is not your typical executive coach. He’s also a Vedic astrologer, a dedicated yogi, and the author of The Business Casual Yogi and Astrology Decoded. We met at the Berkeley Coaches Conference (shoutout to the yogi lunch table!), and I instantly knew we had to record this. This conversation is for anyone who feels like they’re navigating dual identities—balancing intuition and analysis, crystals and KPIs.

Vish breaks down how yoga, Ayurveda, and astrology aren’t separate silos—they’re a three-legged stool for conscious leadership and personal alignment. We dive into the eight limbs of yoga, the power of personalized Ayurvedic practices (yes, that cold smoothie might be wrecking your productivity), and the surprisingly scientific logic behind Vedic astrology. And if you think astrology doesn’t belong in the boardroom? Vish will prove otherwise. Let’s just say… CEOs are more open than you think when Mercury starts retrograding.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How do yoga and Ayurveda enhance leadership?
  • What’s the real difference between Vedic astrology and Western astrology?
  • The three doshas explained: Are you Vata, Pitta, or Kapha?
  • Can astrology be a legit tool in executive coaching?
  • Why chanting 'Om' might be the ultimate life hack

Vish Chatterji is not your typical executive coach. He’s also a Vedic astrologer, a dedicated yogi, and the author of The Business Casual Yogi and Astrology Decoded. We met at the Berkeley Coaches Conference (shoutout to the yogi lunch table!), and I instantly knew we had to record this. This conversation is for anyone who feels like they’re navigating dual identities—balancing intuition and analysis, crystals and KPIs. Vish breaks down how yoga, Ayurveda, and astrology aren’t separate silos—they’re a three-legged stool for conscious leadership and personal alignment. We dive into the eight limbs of yoga, the power of personalized Ayurvedic practices (yes, that cold smoothie might be wrecking your productivity), and the surprisingly scientific logic behind Vedic astrology. And if you think astrology doesn’t belong in the boardroom? Vish will prove otherwise. Let’s just say… CEOs are more open than you think when Mercury starts retrograding. In this episode, we discuss: How do yoga and Ayurveda enhance leadership? What’s the real difference between Vedic astrology and Western astrology?

Why Hiding Your Real Self Is Hurting Your Business31. Why Hiding Your Real Self Is Hurting Your BusinessCan you really build a business by being your full, unfiltered self? I’m here to tell you — absolutely yes.

In this episode, I share what happened when I stopped hiding the intuitive, spiritual, and yes, slightly "woo" parts of me from my professional life.

From my love of astrology and Reiki to my obsession with color psychology, I’ve seen how bringing these truths to the table doesn't repel clients — it attracts the right ones.

I open up about the fear that used to keep me compartmentalized and the powerful shift that happened when I chose to show up fully. I also break down real-life client wins, the sneaky ways fear limits your brand, and why trust is the underrated secret sauce of your marketing.

Plus, I’m spilling details on my How to Rebrand workshop — both designed to help you integrate strategy and soul. Let’s make your marketing magnetic... by just being you.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What does “authenticity” actually mean in business?
  • How do I integrate intuition into marketing without sounding unprofessional?
  • Why do most rebrands fail to connect?
  • How can I stop hiding parts of myself in my brand?
  • What does it really mean to trust your energy?

Rebranding is more than just swapping out your logo or picking a new color palette. It’s a full-blown identity shift—and trust me, I’ve been in the thick of it. In this episode of Side Note, I get real about my rebrand journey and why strategy must come before design. Spoiler: your brand isn’t just how it looks, it’s how it feels—and if you don’t know what makes you different, neither will your audience.

I also spill the tea on what’s coming in my upcoming brand workshop. Think of it as brand therapy, but with actionable frameworks and way less crying. I walk you through the essential questions to ask before you even think about hiring a designer. We get into brand identity, differentiation, psychological triggers, and how to make your brand stand the hell out—without blowing your budget.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What is the difference between branding and design?
  • How do you prepare for a successful rebrand
  • Why is a brand strategy deck a non-negotiable?
  • How do I communicate my brand vision to a designer?
  • Budgeting tips and timing advice for your next rebrand.

Kaili Meyer

Rooted in principles from traditional journalism, modern marketing, and behavior economics, my approach to copywriting is bold, no bullsh*t, and always on purpose. I believe anything worth saying shouldn’t require extra fluff. I'm direct and intentional with just the right amount of edge, operating with a singular goal in mind: Write words that move your people (toward you, of course)

Plus, we talk about The Artist’s Way and our plans to co-lead a community journey through the program.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How do you become a thought leader without forcing it?
  • The role of vulnerability in storytelling (and when to set boundaries)
  • How AI and automation impact creativity—without replacing personal energy
  • Why intuition, synchronicity, and universal signs guide decision-making
  • The power of creative alignment—and why The Artist’s Way is a game-changer

How to Plan a Brand Shoot That Reflects Your True Business IdentityBrand shoots aren’t just about getting some pretty photos for your social media—they’re a powerful opportunity to tell your brand’s story in a visual way. I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about planning a successful brand shoot, from choosing the right photographer to creating the perfect wardrobe that reflects your brand identity. I’ll admit, my first brand shoot didn’t go as smoothly as I hoped, but that’s why I’m so excited to guide you through the process today—because planning matters.

It’s not just about looking good in front of the camera; it’s about capturing your brand’s true essence. In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to strategize your shoot, select the best location, and choose outfits that work with your color palette. 

You’ll also hear some of my personal lessons learned, like why having a shot list and props are crucial, and how prepping yourself (and your team) for a shoot can make all the difference in capturing that brand magic. Let’s dive in!

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How to choose the right photographer for your brand shoot
  • What to wear: Aligning your wardrobe with your brand’s identity
  • Why a brand strategy is essential before any photo shoot
  • Tips for preparing your shoot (from mood boards to shot lists)
  • How props and people can enhance the authenticity of your shoot

]]>Brand shoots aren’t just about getting some pretty photos for your social media—they’re a powerful opportunity to tell your brand’s story in a visual way. I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about planning a successful brand shoot, from choosing the right photographer to creating the perfect wardrobe that reflects your brand identity. I’ll admit, my first brand shoot didn’t go as smoothly as I hoped, but that’s why I’m so excited to guide you through the process today—because planning matters.

It’s not just about looking good in front of the camera; it’s about capturing your brand’s true essence. In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to strategize your shoot, select the best location, and choose outfits that work with your color palette. 

You’ll also hear some of my personal lessons learned, like why having a shot list and props are crucial, and how prepping yourself (and your team) for a shoot can make all the difference in capturing that brand magic. Let’s dive in!

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How to choose the right photographer for your brand shoot
  • What to wear: Aligning your wardrobe with your brand’s identity
  • Why a brand strategy is essential before any photo shoot
  • Tips for preparing your shoot (from mood boards to shot lists)
  • How props and people can enhance the authenticity of your shoot

How to Grow & Monetize Your Newsletter with Beehiiv – Tips from Preeya GoenkaSocial media is changing every day, and putting all your eggs in one TikTok-shaped basket is a recipe for disaster. But what if I told you there’s a way to build an audience that you own—one that can grow with you, generate revenue, and even lead to acquisition? That’s exactly what Preeya Goenka, COO of Beehiiv, is here to break down.

Preeya shares why email newsletters are the most reliable way to connect with your audience, the key to growing and monetizing your list (even if you’re starting from zero), and how platforms like Beehiiv are helping creators turn their newsletters into thriving businesses.

We even dive into real-life case studies—like how Milk Road went from launch to acquisition in under a year. If you’ve ever thought about starting a newsletter but felt overwhelmed, this episode will show you why it’s easier (and more profitable) than you think.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why relying on social media for your business is a risky move
  • How to grow an email newsletter from scratch
  • What are the best ways to monetize a newsletter?
  • How do newsletters get acquired? Real-life examples & strategies
  • The biggest misconceptions about email marketing (and what actually works)

How to Hire the Right People for Your Business (and Avoid Costly Mistakes)25. How to Hire the Right People for Your Business (and Avoid Costly Mistakes)Hiring is broken—but it doesn’t have to be. I’ve seen firsthand how the wrong hire can drain time, energy, and money. But when you get it right, it’s magic. In this episode of Side Note, I’m sharing my personal playbook for strategic hiring—how to find the right people, avoid common hiring traps, and build a team that actually supports your business growth. Whether you have a few contractors or a full-scale team, all it requires is a little intention and a few key questions to unlock the right people in the right places. 

I break down how to identify hiring gaps before you’re scrambling, why 80% of your time should be spent in your "genius zone," and the three essential interview questions that reveal more than a resume ever could. Plus, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own hiring process—how I use test projects to assess strategic thinking and cultural fit, and how I use intuition as one of my many hiring tools. If you’ve been putting off hiring (or made hiring mistakes before), this episode is for you.

In this episode, I discuss:

  • How do you know when it’s time to hire? (And why you should do it before you feel ready)
  • What are the three hiring questions that reveal more than a resume ever could?
  • Why most hiring processes fail (and how to avoid the biggest mistakes)
  • How to hire strategically so you can focus on revenue-generating activities
  • The role of intuition in hiring: red flags, gut feelings, and making confident decisions

Reinventing a Business Through Digital Storytelling with Patrice PoltzerPatrice Poltzer didn’t just switch careers—she burned it all down and rebuilt from scratch. Moving from Brooklyn to Lisbon with her family, she ditched the traditional corporate path, pivoted from television producer to business owner, and faced the tough reality of reinvention. But here’s the twist: she never planned to be an entrepreneur. Now, she’s using storytelling and AI to help others show up authentically online.

In this conversation, Patrice and I talk about the messy middle of career transitions, why calling yourself a "freelancer" might be holding you back, and how AI can actually help you find your voice. She shares the unexpected moment that changed her business trajectory, the story behind her viral LinkedIn post, and why her vulnerability about hearing loss sparked unexpected connections, proving that authenticity cuts through digital noise and that marginalized voices must take up space. If you’ve ever doubted whether your story is "big enough" to matter, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What happens when you stop calling yourself a freelancer and own your expertise
  • How AI can actually make storytelling more authentic
  • "Do I really need to be on LinkedIn?"—The surprising answer for entrepreneurs
  • How personal stories (even the ones you’ve kept quiet) can drive business success
  • Why the fear of saturation is BS (and how to stand out in a crowded market)
  • What makes podcasting the ultimate relationship-building tool for female entrepreneurs

Try This 5-Minute MeditationI know how overwhelming AI can feel—like it’s just churning out endless fluff. But what if we could use it with more intention, keeping our creative spark intact? In this episode, I guide you through a short but powerful meditation to help set boundaries with AI and make sure it amplifies—not replaces—your unique voice.

By the end of this meditation, you’ll feel more grounded, clear on your purpose, and confident in using AI as a creative tool rather than a shortcut. Whether you’re a business owner, content creator, or just trying to figure out how AI fits into your life, this is your chance to reset and take back control.

In this episode, I discuss:

  • How do you stop AI from diluting your creativity?
  • The power of setting boundaries when working with AI
  • A simple visualization exercise to make AI-generated content feel more personal
  • How to ensure AI works for you (not the other way around)
  • Why intention is everything when creating with AI

AI Won't Replace You, But You're Using It Wrong (7 Ways to Make It Work for You)Stop treating AI like a toddler's toy. As a Fortune 100 marketing advisor, I see too many business owners misusing AI in ways that strip away their unique magic. AI isn’t here to replace you, but if you’re using it wrong, it could be holding you back. Most people treat AI like a shortcut instead of a strategic tool, and that’s where things go sideways. I’m breaking down how to train AI to enhance your brand voice, optimize marketing, and keep your content powerful—without losing its human touch.

From practical AI strategies to ethical considerations, I’m covering what most business owners get wrong about ChatGPT, Claude, and content repurposing. Whether you’re skeptical or already experimenting, this conversation will change how you think about AI in your business.

Want to save thousands of hours on content creation without losing your authentic voice? I break down my exact process for training AI to understand your brand voice, plus the energetic practices that keep your content powerful.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How can AI improve your marketing without making it sound robotic?
  • The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when using AI for content creation
  • What are AI "projects" and why should you be using them?
  • What are the legal implications of using AI-generated content for my business?

In this candid conversation, I dive into the real dynamics of my relationship with my husband, David, from communication struggles to breakthrough moments that transformed our marriage.

Whether you're in a relationship or searching for one that lasts, these insights will help you build a stronger, more resilient connection.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How do quiet and reactive partners successfully communicate in marriage?
  • How can couples communicate better and avoid unnecessary conflicts?
  • How can regular check-ins improve a relationship over time?
  • What’s the secret to resolving conflicts when partners have different communication styles?
  • Why do past experiences impact current relationship triggers, and how can couples address them?
  • What is theEight Dates book, and how can it help couples grow together?

Why Love Isn’t Supposed to Be Chaos—But Ours Kinda WasCan love be both passionate AND peaceful? In this special Valentine's Day episode, I'm joined by my husband David for an unfiltered conversation about our relationship: from first impressions to navigating entrepreneurship, conflict, and personal growth together. We share the lessons we’ve learned, the mistakes we’ve made, and the rituals that keep our connection strong.

We talk about the differences that have led to the greatest conflict, the unexpected impact of taking dance classes together, and David’s slightly concerning fascination with cults. 

David shares his raw perspective on leaving corporate life for entrepreneurship and then choosing to go back, while I open up about learning to embrace my feminine energy in our relationship and secure attachment. Whether you're navigating your own relationship or still searching for the right partner, this candid conversation reveals why love doesn’t have to be complicated or dramatic to be real.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How do first impressions shape long-term relationships?
  • What’s the secret to balancing love and entrepreneurship?
  • How can couples argue better instead of just arguing?
  • Can opposites attract and actually build a lasting relationship?
  • What relationship habits make love feel effortless?

If you’ve ever felt like your story wasn’t worth telling, this conversation will change your mind—and maybe your life.

Our conversation takes an unexpected turn when Aleya coaches me through discovering my own "Carl's Jr. moment" – a pivotal experience that shapes who we become. She demonstrates in real time how to transform challenging memories into powerful speaking opportunities.


We dive deep into:

  • Why most corporate presentations fail (and how to fix them)
  • Why storytelling is the ultimate personal branding tool
  • How to structure your story to make it unforgettable
  • How vulnerability becomes your competitive advantage (and where to draw the line)

I'm getting real about my 2024 journey — from a failed launch to juggling a wedding, honeymoon, and house purchase. I learned the most important lesson: that dry spells are actually invitations to level up.

I'm sharing how I transformed my own business plateau into powerful insights about pricing, marketing, and most importantly, trusting my intuition. Whether you're questioning your prices, feeling pressure to market aggressively, or just trying to figure out your next move, this episode cuts through with what I wish someone had told me.


Forget the cookie-cutter advice. Let's talk about what actually works for YOUR unique business DNA, from human design to finding your natural sales style. Plus, I'm busting the myth that you need to hustle harder when business slows down (spoiler: sometimes doing less is the answer).


In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why traditional marketing advice might be sabotaging your success
  • The truth about pricing (and why your gut feeling matters more than market research)
  • What should you focus on during a business dry spell?
  • How to know when it's time to invest vs. when to pull back
  • The real reason most business owners struggle during dry spells
  • Why detaching from your business might be the key to growth

The Neuroscience of Business: Why Women Wait While Men Take Action with Olenka CullinanWhy do women wait until their plans are perfect to take the leap, while men charge ahead with half-baked ideas?

I sat down with powerhouse entrepreneur Olenka Cullinan for a mind-bending conversation about the science behind why women and men approach business completely differently. From accidentally landing a Costco deal through a viral video to running multiple successful ventures while prioritizing family time, Olenka breaks down how our brain chemistry shapes everything from networking to negotiation.


What fascinates me most? The revelation that women have double the neural connections between brain hemispheres compared to men – explaining why we excel at team leadership but often hold ourselves back from taking big swings. Olenka shares how her journey from Eastern European "good girl" to boundary-setting business leader required completely rewiring deeply ingrained patterns.


You'll discover why men pitch ideas on napkins while women wait for perfection, how to identify childhood patterns blocking your growth, and practical strategies for building a thriving business without sacrificing balance. This conversation goes way beyond typical business advice to explore the psychology and neuroscience of success.


In this episode, we discuss:

  • How brain structure differences impact male vs female business approaches
  • Why women wait for "perfect" while men pitch on napkins
  • Strategies for breaking free from "good girl" syndrome
  • The psychology behind finding true work-life balance
  • Navigating major retail partnerships as a startup

We dive deep into how major planetary shifts will reshape everything from technology and government to our personal lives. Virginia explains why the fall of "empires" happening right now is just the beginning, and how the movement of Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn into new signs signals a dimensional shift that will fundamentally change how we experience reality.

I talk with Virginia about what these cosmic changes mean for conscious entrepreneurs, why water and healing become central themes, and how we can navigate this period of intense change with grace. We explore the rise of technocracy, the future of human consciousness, and why personal liberation might be the key to our collective evolution.


In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why multiple governments are currently experiencing collapse and what this means for 2025
  • How the North Node moving into Pisces will affect business decisions and personal growth
  • What Uranus in Gemini reveals about the future of education and communication
  • The connection between ancient Atlantis and our current technological revolution
  • Ways to maintain agency and power during this transformational period

Your Intuition is Screaming (Here's Why You Can't Hear It) with Rita MirchandaniIn this episode of Side Note, I sit down with spiritual life coach Rita, together, we unlock the secrets of intuitive decision-making, decode mysterious hawk encounters (including one from my own past), and dive deep into reading life's hidden messages.

Rita reveals how ancestral patterns might be secretly holding us back and shares her empowering techniques for clearing energetic blocks. As she opens up about her journey from skeptic to spiritual teacher, we explore how she uses the Akashic Records to help clients step into their power.


From navigating relationships to launching businesses, Rita explains how we can all interpret signs from the universe and trust our gut. She offers practical tools for tapping into your intuition, including powerful questions to ask yourself when facing resistance. As someone who's struggled with these blocks in my own journey, this conversation opened my eyes to new possibilities and I absolutely loved this conversation.


In this episode, we talk about:

  • How to harness intuition for life-changing decisions
  • Identifying ancestral patterns by asking, "Do I have patterns that don't belong to me?"
  • Breaking ancestral patterns to unlock your potential
  • Explore areas where you don't feel safe to spot where you're afraid to be empowered
  • Using Akashic records to clear blockages and empower your journey

Rita reveals how ancestral patterns might be secretly holding us back and shares her empowering techniques for clearing energetic blocks. As she opens up about her journey from skeptic to spiritual teacher, we explore how she uses the Akashic Records to help clients step into their power.


From navigating relationships to launching businesses, Rita explains how we can all interpret signs from the universe and trust our gut. She offers practical tools for tapping into your intuition, including powerful questions to ask yourself when facing resistance. As someone who's struggled with these blocks in my own journey, this conversation opened my eyes to new possibilities and I absolutely loved this conversation.


In this episode, we talk about:

  • How to harness intuition for life-changing decisions
  • Identifying ancestral patterns by asking, "Do I have patterns that don't belong to me?"
  • Breaking ancestral patterns to unlock your potential
  • Explore areas where you don't feel safe to spot where you're afraid to be empowered
  • Using Akashic records to clear blockages and empower your journey

Rita, and I am an Akashic Records Teacher, & Spiritual Life Coach. These titles represent my background but are essentially my way of saying that through my work, I help everyone that I work with to connect, expand and evolve into the core essence of who they are, and the life they desire to lead. My philosophy replies heavily on personal empowerment, shadow work, heart-led living, and an understanding that we each take personal responsibility for our life and where we are headed.

What Your Hunger is Telling You About Unmet Needs with Dr. Adrienne Youdim8. What Your Hunger is Telling You About Unmet Needs with Dr. Adrienne YoudimWhat if your hunger is signaling more than just a need for food? Dr. Adrienne Youdim, physician, author, and keynote speaker, joins host Samantha Fackler to uncover the profound link between hunger, emotions, and self-compassion

 In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Adrienne explores the common, often unrecognized needs she sees in patients—from the desire for agency in healthcare decisions to the yearning for emotional support and balance. She explains how hunger can sometimes signal stress or emotional unmet needs rather than just a need for food, revealing ways to interpret these signals as a call for self-care and purpose. 


With insights on embracing autonomy, practicing self-compassion, and finding equilibrium in life, Adrienne offers a roadmap for managing stress and honoring one's emotional state with healthy coping strategies. This episode dives deep into the journey of listening to our bodies and meeting our needs with clarity and intention.
