her Self: IFS & Spiritual Entrepreneurship

This past month handed me two things I didn't plan for: my father's death, and a record-breaking heat wave that made our apartment in Bordeaux uninhabitable for two weeks. Both came back-to-back, with no warning and no gradual transition. Just: life arriving and asking everything to hold. In this episode, I'm sharing what those two experiences revealed about my business and why I think this is one...

What if the most exhausting, dysfunctional relationship in your life is the one you have with your business? For many of us — especially those doing soul-led, heart-centered work — the line between who we are and what we do has become almost invisible. We don't just have a slow week. We are a slow week. Rest feels unsafe. Worth lives in output. And somewhere along the way, devotion became dependen...

If you've been exhausted by what visibility has required of you (the hooks, the reels, the constant performance for an algorithm that doesn't align with your values), keep reading. Two months into launching my own Substack, elle-même , I am going all in on the platform I believe finally rewards what women of depth have always brought: real voice, earned trust, and ideas that can't be flattened int...

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...

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 spiritu...

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...

What if the real path to a thriving business isn't about doing more, but about doing less with more intention? In this first episode of the year, I'm reflecting on what's shifted since moving to France and taking an unexpected two-month break from the podcast. What's become clear is this: I'm committed to a business that feeds my soul as much as it serves the world. A slower, more sacred way. And...

Have you ever built something successful—only to realize it wasn't sustainable ? In this episode, I'm sharing why I walked away from my membership model after two years.

When mastery meets messiness behind the scenes Several years ago, I lost an entire retreat curriculum—hours of teaching notes, insights, and debrief reflections—because I couldn’t remember where I’d saved the file. That moment sparked a total reorganization of how I run my business. But what I’ve realized since then is this: I wasn’t alone. So many brilliant, intuitive women—coaches, healers, serv...
