In this episode, Stephanie and I sat down in one of the local public library meeting rooms to record an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about what’s stirring in our life and business right now.

We talk about the return of Free the Dream (or… is it Building a Soul-Aligned Business?) and why we’re feeling called to step back into the rhythm of live events again. From our first workshops in the Next Level Studio, to Free the Dream conferences in Franklin, TN, to the new rooms we're reserving at the local library, we’re reimagining what it looks like to gather in person, with meaning and depth — minus the performance and overhead.

We also dive into some very real reflections on business models, coaching, finances, and what it would take to generate $20K/month (or more) in a way that feels fully aligned with our current season. I share transparently about pricing, client capacity, and why I’m not chasing coaching clients, but rather creating space for resonance and miracles.

Other highlights in this episode:

• Our 9-hour drive home from Tennessee on a donut tire (and how it actually saved us $1,000)
• How my most recent dental "crisis" may have been a divine nudge, which worked out perfectly to get the healing I needed without an unnecessary root canal
• How my new live stream series (How May I Serve You? Ask Me Anything) has become one of the most fulfilling creative practices I’ve returned to in years

The deeper theme that runs through all of this? Presence. Alignment. Doing what feels joyful, spacious, and true.

We’re not chasing numbers or planning for scale. We’re showing up with open hearts, a deep well of experience, and a desire to serve whoever feels called to step into the space with us.

This is what building a life and business together looks like for us in this season. One decision, one flat tire, one library meeting room reservation at a time.
