What happens when your biggest platform vanishes overnight? What do you do if the account you've been growing for years suddenly closes?

In this raw and real episode, I peel back the curtain on the emotional and strategic aftermath of losing my Instagram account over the weekend—and how it became the catalyst for deeper freedom, smarter systems, and a more soul-aligned approach to my business.

Gonna be honest: I spent a good part of the weekend crying and letting out my anger. But then something magical happened as I realized that this was an opportunity to reclaim agency when the rug is pulled from beneath you. In this episode I share how losing something I considered the foundation for my financial growth helped me re-align my strategies to my purpose, joy, and goals.

Inside this episode, I cover:
✨ Why your Instagram is not your business—and never should be
✨ The emotional reality of losing your account (grief, rage, confusion—and clarity)
✨ WHY I lost my Instagram account and the exact steps I took to ensure my new account isn't getting marked down (I don't mention the word, but we are talking about shadowbans, because boy, have I found some dirt!)
✨ How I use this 'loss' as an opportunity to lean further into my business purpose, even in how I write my content.
✨ A big reminder to build out your email list, not rely on Instagram, and give yourself permission to step away from strategy in the name of integrity.
✨ How authenticity and emotional truth can become your most powerful strategy

This isn’t a how-to on getting your account back. It’s a manifesto on building an untethered business that can weather storms, shift gears, and grow—no matter what.

🎧 Hit play and walk away with a deeper understanding of audience growth, business growth, and picking the right strategies for your business.

Because your freedom isn’t up for negotiation—and your business shouldn’t be held hostage by a single app.

What if writing your story could become a tool for healing—and a path to reclaiming your voice?

In this episode of Your Business: Untethered, I’m joined by Nicole Gulotta to talk about the raw, liberating magic of creative nonfiction. We dive deep into how personal storytelling can become a powerful tool for transformation—especially for those of us holding trauma, navigating identity, and craving authenticity.

This isn’t about being a perfect writer. It’s about telling the truth. Writing to understand yourself. And using your narrative as a way to come home to who you really are.

Inside this episode, we cover:
✨ Why creative nonfiction is a tool for deep healing and personal growth
✨ How trauma can shape our stories—and how writing can help us process it
✨ What it really means to write authentically and publish courageously
✨ The difference between performance and presence in storytelling
✨ The messy, beautiful, empowering journey of engaging with your own narrative

Nicole also shares the story behind Bloom Letters—her latest collection—and invites you into your own creative practice through short-form writing and reflective storytelling.

This episode isn’t just for writers. It’s for anyone who’s been through something, held it close for too long, and is finally ready to make meaning, not just noise.

Inside the episode, we cover:
✨ What you need in place before scaling
✨ The mindset blocks keeping you stuck in 1:1 burnout
✨ Why AI is helpful, but human connection still sells
✨ How to navigate business cycles with clarity and calm
✨ Why money is neither good nor bad—it just shows you who you are
✨ The truth about freedom in business: it requires intention and systems
✨ How healing your past directly impacts your sales and structure

What does it actually take to stop working like an employee and step into the role of CEO in your business?

In this episode of Your Business: Untethered, we’re unpacking the essential mindset shifts that every freedom-seeking entrepreneur must make to scale a business that works for you—not the other way around.

This isn’t about hustle culture or trying to earn a gold star for how hard you work. It’s about redefining success, building with purpose, and learning to lead your business like a true CEO—one who’s here to build freedom, not just get paid.

Inside this episode, we cover:
✨ Why working more doesn’t equal earning more—and what does
✨ How to stop clinging to your offers and start aligning with your vision
✨ Why managing money as an entrepreneur is wildly different than budgeting as an employee
✨ The role of intrinsic motivation (and why outside accountability will never be enough)
✨ How to embrace risk, expansion, and building a team that supports your future

This is a wake-up call for the entrepreneur who's still acting like their own worst boss. You didn’t start this business to burn out—you started it to create a life of purpose, impact, and freedom.

🎧 Press play and start building your business like a CEO who believes in themselves harder than anyone else ever could.

Unapologetic Sales & Authentic Business: Ditch the Performative and Do It Your Way

What if sales didn’t feel gross, forced, or performative—but instead felt like an extension of your truth?

In this episode of Your Business: Untethered, I sit down with the radiant Claire Garner for a raw and empowering conversation about unlearning societal conditioning, embracing authenticity, and leading in business with soul. We talk about the moment she realized she’d been living for others, the courage it takes to come back to your truth, and what it actually looks like to sell unapologetically.

This is not a fluffy pep talk—it’s a real convo about what happens when women stop contorting themselves to fit a mold and instead build businesses rooted in who they actually are.

✨ Inside this episode, we cover:

• How societal norms keep women from owning their voice in business

• The truth about sales (hint: it starts with being fully you)

• Why freedom starts on the inside, not in your calendar

• The power of pausing consumption so you can hear your own wisdom

• Claire’s journey to creating the Real and Raw Movement

• And why the mess isn’t something to clean up—it’s part of the path

This one is for the visionary woman who’s done following the rules and is ready to lead her business from truth, not tactics.

🎧 Hit play and start redefining what business—and freedom—can look like when you stop trying to be “enough” and just start being you.

In this episode of Your Business: Untethered, we’re breaking down how to design purpose-aligned offers that fuel your freedom, reflect your deepest values, and scale your business without sacrificing your lifestyle.

Because here’s the truth: most coaches build their businesses like employees—with someone else’s roadmap, someone else’s structure, and someone else’s version of success. But your freedom-based business needs to be built your way. That starts with crafting offers that are grounded in purpose and aligned with your vision.

Inside this episode, we cover:
✨ Why your offers should support your life—not steal from it
✨ How to create an offer ladder that builds trust and income
✨ The connection between lifestyle freedom and business structure
✨ Why starting small can be the most scalable strategy
✨ The power of multiple offers and how they deepen impact

This is the strategy talk that skips the formulas and gets real about what it takes to scale a business that’s built around you. If you’ve been stuck in someone else’s version of coaching, this episode is your permission slip to burn it down and build better.

What if freedom wasn’t a destination, but a mindset? And what if you didn't need a large audience, but an engaged WhatsApp community?!

*Please note our invitation to contribute at the bottom*

In this episode, we’re taking a journey from Uber to audio nomadism with the one and only Diveakssh Schae—founder of Jungli, a nomad village in South India that’s rewriting the rules of community and digital freedom.

We dive into what it really means to create something purpose-driven from scratch, how abundant thinking shifts everything, and why community is more than a marketing strategy—it’s a living, breathing system of support, truth, and mutual growth.

This isn’t about manifesting your dreams from a beach. It’s about using what you’ve got, embracing fear as fuel, and building with what’s real.

Inside this episode, we cover:
✨ How to stop chasing perfection and start showing up with what you’ve got
✨ Why the difference between an audience and a community matters (and how to build the latter)
✨ The raw truth about crowdfunding, giving back, and community-led business models
✨ What it looks like to create location-independence without losing your integrity
✨ How abundant thinking can become your most powerful business strategy
✨ The role of storytelling, vulnerability, and healing in entrepreneurship

Divi also shares the heartfelt story of crowdfunding for his childhood music teacher—a reminder that our communities can help us give more, grow more, and build businesses that don’t just sustain us, but create ripples of impact.

Ever felt like the business you built to set you free has somehow become the thing keeping you stuck?

In this episode, I'm diving headfirst into the messy middle of entrepreneurship—the part where your business starts to feel more like a cage than a gateway to freedom.

I peel back the curtain on my own journey from burnout and enmeshment to liberation, revealing what it actually takes to unchain yourself from business traps and reclaim your freedom. This isn’t about tweaking your offer or posting more reels—it’s about doing the deeper work to untangle your purpose from your patterns...and then understanding the strategic levers you need to implement to expand your impact, turn your systems into a sales machine, and grow your client-base and income without spending even more time on our business. Scaling should reduce your working hours.

Inside this episode, I cover:
✨ What it means to feel trapped by your own business (and how to spot the signs)
✨ Why inner healing is non-negotiable for true entrepreneurial freedom
✨ How to revisit your business purpose and realign with your original why - and why this matters for your content, offers, and client journey.
✨ The keys to diversifying your offers without diluting your mission
✨ Mapping your client journey to create more ease, flow, and impact (on your community and bottom line.)
✨ The exact shifts to create a business that supports your life—not sabotages it

This isn’t strategy for strategy’s sake—it’s a call to defy the frameworks that aren’t working, remember who you are, and design a business that’s rooted in your freedom, purpose, and power.

Take THE UNCHAINED ENTREPRENEUR Masterclass
Your business should run while you sleep, travel, or take a damn break. If the second you step away, your income stops, it’s time to change that. I teach you my exact systems to do this in my masterclass, the Unchained Entrepreneur. PLUG IN HERE.
