her Self: IFS & Spiritual Entrepreneurship

There's a particular kind of relief that comes when your business finally starts to reflect who you actually are.
And I need to warn you, not every business conversation sounds like this one!
In this episode, I'm joined by three women from the current cohort of her Self CEO — Courtenay Mastain, Reise Tanner, and Anna Pell — for an honest, intimate conversation recorded at the very end of our journey together.
What you'll hear is rare: a real-time glimpse into what shifts when your inner work and outer work happen in the same container. These women come from different backgrounds, different businesses, and different seasons of life. And yet the thread running through all three of their stories is the same. When your business finally reflects who you are, everything changes.
If you're standing at your own kind of threshold, you'll find yourself in every one of these women's stories.
Doors to the April cohort of her Self CEO are open for a short time now.

There's a belief many accomplished women carry that we rarely say out loud: if it didn't cost you everything, it doesn't count.
In this episode, I trace a pattern that followed me from late-night finals in college to leading week-long retreats around the world. The belief that success and depletion are two sides of the same coin. And I share the moment a therapist asked me a question that changed everything.
We explore what happens when accomplished, high-functioning women stop performing leadership and start participating in it, and what becomes possible when you let go of the belief that it all has to cost you everything. If you've ever worn your exhaustion as a badge of honor, this is your invitation to set it down.

Living in France has a way of making me get really honest about what matters most to me. During my first several months here, what’s kept rising to the surface is writing — real writing. Personal essays. Intimate reflections.
So I created a more curated space to do just that. It's called elle-même (French for "herself"), and I made it for you– and for every woman who values belonging to herself. Today I’m sharing what it is, what you'll find there, and how to join us. The first three issues are free, and the first one drops tomorrow! Bienvenue.

What if your business isn’t an object you manage… but a living entity in relationship with you?
In this episode, I share a perspective that changed everything for me: your business has its own highest self, its own intelligence, and its own evolutionary path. And it chose you as much as you chose it.
We explore how fear, resistance, and recurring patterns in your work are not obstacles but spiritual trailheads, pointing toward the parts of you ready to be healed and reclaimed. If you’ve been feeling friction in your business, this conversation invites you to listen differently. To your inner world, and to your business itself.
In this Episode We Explore:
00:00 – A recurring pattern you can’t seem to outgrow
03:19 – When business becomes more than strategy
06:44 – A different definition of spiritual practice
10:12 – The “trailhead” hidden inside resistance
12:38 – Why external success can quietly deplete you
15:10 – Relating to your business as something alive

What if I told you that you could attract more of your right-fit clients…without posting on Instagram every day?
If you're a highly sensitive woman running a business, you know this exhaustion intimately: The constant pressure to show up on social media. The dread of creating content that feels performative. The loneliness of figuring it out all by yourself. And now—AI everywhere, making you feel like you're falling even further behind.
Here's what I'm seeing: Some prominent voices are shaming women for using AI. Others are just copy-pasting, leaving no authentic voice. And studies show women are already falling behind men in adopting this technology. Meanwhile, you're stuck in the middle—exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering if there's another way.
There is (and it doesn't require you to dance on TikTok or master complicated tech).
In this episode, you'll discover:
The real reason you need AI (it's not about being "tech-savvy"—it's about whether your ideal clients can actually find you when they're searching for help)
How AI can end your lonely workdays (and make the parts of business you dread—like writing sales copy—actually enjoyable)
The paradigm shift that changes everything: from visibility marketing (exhausting daily posts) to discoverability marketing (being found when people need you)
My exact process for partnering with AI (the back-and-forth that keeps your authentic voice while reducing your workload)
Why your beautiful Instagram posts disappear within hours—and what to create instead so your work can be discovered months or even years from now
The one diagnostic question
How to position yourself so AI recommends you to ideal clients—while you're sleeping, walking your dog, or taking your sabbatical
