In this episode, I dive into a pattern I see again and again with the incredible women I work with - the deep hesitation around investing in themselves and their businesses, and the belief that they need permission from others before taking bold steps forward.

Drawing from Internal Family Systems and my years of experience mentoring women entrepreneurs, I share how to move from permission-seeking to enrollment and offer practical guidance for claiming your authority as the leader of your business. If you're ready to stop seeking permission and start fully owning your vision, this episode is for you.

Do you believe you have to choose between having structure in your business or maintaining your creative freedom and flow?
In this episode, I challenge this either/or thinking and introduce you to "sacred structure" - where Divine Masculine containment meets Divine Feminine flow to create sustainable, soul-aligned businesses.
Drawing from my own journey from rigid Type-A planning to total fluidity and finally finding a sacred middle way, I share how structure can actually enhance your creativity and intuition rather than restrict it.
Whether you're structure-averse or seeking a more balanced approach, I offer a fresh perspective on how structure can be a form of self-care and spiritual practice, showing that we don't have to choose between being successful and being spiritual.

For women entrepreneurs, one of the biggest struggles is the inner criticâthat relentless voice of self-doubt and judgment that can hold us back from taking risks, stepping into visibility, or pursuing our bigger dreams. Rather than battling this voice, IFS offers a way to transform the inner critic into a supportive ally, opening up new vistas of confidence and ease.
This week on the podcast, weâre diving more deeply into Internal Family Systems (IFS)âa groundbreaking psychotherapeutic model thatâs been life-changing for me and many of my clients. To explore this, Iâm joined by Chris Burris, a senior lead trainer in the IFS model.
In this episode, Chris and I discuss the IFS approach at large, focusing specifically on how to work with extreme parts like the inner critic and perfectionist. Through the lens of IFS, these parts arenât enemiesâtheyâre protectors, often rooted in fear, who need understanding and care to evolve into supportive roles.
Chris also guides us through an IFS meditation to connect with the parts of ourselves that are most dominant right now and shares inspiring, practical ways he uses IFS for daily self-care.
If youâve ever struggled with self-doubt or perfectionism, this conversation will resonate deeply. Itâs an invitation to begin or deepen your own journey with IFS and step into greater and greater levels of Self-leadership.
May it inspire and support you on your path to leading with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
