Tuesday Talks with Darleen

Send us Fan Mail Keeping your day job while building your business can feel like you’re standing in an in-between space where nothing “counts” until you quit. I'm calling that out. If you’re growing a business, launching a startup, or trying to start a business while working full time, your job is not proof you’re not serious. It can be the very structure that makes your entrepreneurship sust...

Send us Fan Mail Every entrepreneur knows the feeling. You get a burst of inspiration and suddenly it seems irresponsible not to start right now. I push back on that urgency and make the case for a calmer kind of ambition. When you try to build everything at once, you do not just lose time, you lose momentum, clarity, and the ability to finish what matters. So we slow the whole thing down and choo...

Send us Fan Mail There’s a specific kind of numbness that doesn’t look dramatic from the outside, but you can feel it on the inside. You’re present, yet somehow watching your own life from a few steps back. That’s where the Solar Lunar Chakra enters the conversation. Described as two merged Chakra above the head, and a gateway that helps you understand association versus dissociation with far more...

Send us Fan Mail Your business will teach you more about you than any course ever will and it usually does it through the moments you want to label as “problems.” A plan falls apart, a task takes longer than it should, a client pushes a boundary, or something as simple as a recording not saving suddenly exposes the real issue. You are rushing, ungrounded, and running on adrenaline instead of clari...

Send us Fan Mail Fear has a way of showing up at the exact moment you already feel unsure, then it adds one more layer. Urgency. Decide now. Fix it now. Don’t miss out. I’m calling that out for what it is. A pressure that pushes you into reaction and away from your own awareness. I walk through a practical way to respond to fear while it’s happening, without shutting down and without overriding yo...

Send us Fan Mail Everyone has an opinion when you start a business and somehow they get louder the moment you begin to succeed. I'm talking about the endless “shoulds” that come from family, friends, and people who mean well but aren’t building what you’re building and how that noise can drag you into second guessing, overexplaining, and changing your work just to keep the peace.  I share sim...

Send us Fan Mail If your business feels heavy, it’s not a sign you should “try harder”. It’s often a sign you’ve been shape shifting to fit expectations that were never designed for you in the first place. I’m talking about the slow, sneaky patterns that pull us out of our own rhythm. Saying yes when we don’t want to, stacking commitments we can’t hold, and forcing ourselves into routines that loo...

Send us Fan Mail Your crown chakra is not just a “spiritual” idea. It’s a real lens for how you receive guidance, meaning, and perspective. We dig into what it looks like when your inner child meets the Crown Chakra. Learning from past generations, feeling connected to the collective, and still staying rooted in your own energy so you don’t get drained by the wrong dynamics. I get honest about bou...

Send us Fan Mail Your spiritual world starts expanding and suddenly you feel it. That quiet pull between who you were taught to be and who you’re becoming. I’m sharing something personal today, because I know how complicated it can feel to explore metaphysical spirituality, intuition, and psychic gifts while your family and your history are rooted in religion. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the...

Send us Fan Mail Your phone buzzes, an email lands, a client updates a project, and suddenly your chest tightens like something is on fire. I know that feeling, and I’m here to say it plainly, your business is not an emergency room. After more than 30 years in healthcare on the frontline, I’ve seen what real emergencies look like, and I’ve also seen how easy it is to bring that same adrenaline-fue...

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever finished a client session and felt like you’re carrying someone else’s anxiety in your chest, their stress in your shoulders, or their problems in your head, we made this conversation for you. I’m talking about the skill that separates sustainable coaches from burned-out helpers. Holding space with strong emotional boundaries, so you can stay kind, present, and clea...

Send us Fan Mail Some of the loudest “noises” in life sound like your own thoughts. But what if a big chunk of them were inherited, taught, or absorbed when you were young, and your inner child is still carrying them around? I’m talking about the inner child through the lens of the Third Eye Chakra, where mental clarity, intuition, and creativity meet. We start with the practical side. Brain fog,...

Send us Fan Mail Your to-do list can look harmless on paper and still feel like a brick on your chest. We’ve all had those days where the list isn’t just “a lot” it feels heavy, blurry, and somehow personal. I want to pull that apart and show you what’s really going on so you can stop blaming yourself and start planning in a way that feels lighter. I'll talk about the key distinction that cha...

Send us Fan Mail You can be completely clear on what to do next and still not do it. That’s not a character flaw, and it’s not a sign you need more information. It’s the gap between knowing and acting and it’s where momentum gets built or quietly lost in business and in life. I dig into why clarity isn’t the thing that creates movement. Clarity gives direction, but decision is what moves you forwa...

Send us Fan Mail Your Throat Chakra isn’t just about speaking clearly. It’s about whether you feel safe enough to be honest, whether you trust yourself, and whether your inner child believes it’s allowed to take up space. When that foundation is missing, communication can sound stiff or guarded, even when your intentions are good.  I walk through how the Throat Chakra is supported by the lower cha...

Send us Fan Mail The client looks “good enough”, the money helps, and nothing is obviously wrong yet your body hesitates. That quiet hesitation is the start of what I call an almost aligned client, and it can cost far more than a few extra hours. I talk through the real texture of the half-yes. The tight chest, the pause before replying, the internal negotiation that says “I’m being too picky” whi...

Send us Fan Mail Your intuition can be a superpower in business, but it can also become a shortcut into pressure if you’re not careful. I get real about the moment “helping” starts turning into steering and how to catch it before it damages trust. If you’ve ever felt that surge of urgency to convince someone, persuade them, or “wake them up,” this conversation brings you back to grounded, ethical...

Send us Fan Mail Your business doesn’t run on January, September, or “Q4 energy” the way the internet says it should. Mine doesn’t either. I'm talking about business seasons beyond the calendar, and why following someone else’s timeline can quietly turn your work into a grind. If you’ve ever wondered why you can be wildly motivated one month and deeply reflective the next, this is a reminder...

Send us Fan Mail Spiritual language can feel like a warm blanket in business, until it becomes a hiding place. I talk about spiritual bypassing in business. The subtle habit of using words like alignment, divine timing, trust the universe, and energetics to avoid the exact things that grow a company such as clear decisions, honest money conversations, structure, and uncomfortable emotions. I share...

Send us Fan Mail Your banking app shouldn’t feel like a threat, but for so many of us the simple act of checking a bank balance comes with a tight chest, a quick inhale, or a wave of shame. I get it, because I’ve lived it. So I’m taking you into a different way of seeing money, where the number on the screen stops acting like a verdict on your worth and starts acting like feedback you can actually...

Send us Fan Mail Bored with your business and quietly wondering if that means you’re off track? I want to challenge that assumption. Sometimes the dullness you feel is not a red flag, it’s a sign you’ve built real competence. When the early “everything is new” adrenaline wears off, your nervous system settles, and steadiness moves in. If you’re used to intensity, that calm can feel like you’re stu...

Send us Fan Mail Perfection is a moving target and chasing it is stealing your momentum. I take on the unspoken rule that you must be “fully healed” before you’re allowed to lead, charge more, or expand your impact. Instead, we make the case for a different path. Success in the now, built on clear offers, consistent action, and clean communication. Across this candid conversation, I unpack how sel...

Send us Fan Mail Your screen isn’t neutral. It’s an environment shaping your energy, authority, and results. Today I pull back the curtain on digital clutter and decision fatigue, and I get practical about building a calmer, more focused workflow that actually supports your goals. From the myth of “thriving in chaos” to the real cost of 110 billion open tabs, this conversation turns vague stress i...

Send us Fan Mail Your heart races, your stomach tightens, your thoughts get loud. So is that the thrill of growth or a red flag asking you to pause? I dig into the real difference between good fear and bad fear and walk through practical ways to read your body before your mind writes a story. Instead of treating fear as the enemy, I treat it as information. An early signal from the reptilian brain...

Send us Fan Mail What if your business is being run by a script you never chose? I dig into the hidden ways family beliefs about work like hard labor, survival, and sacrifice, how you shape your schedule, your pricing, and even your ability to rest. If ease feels unsafe or slow days feel wrong, this conversation helps you find the roots and plant something healthier in their place. I start with th...
