  • Ep. 81: How Jen Hit Her First Six Figures as an Interiors Photographer by Doing Less, Not More
    2026/05/06

    In this episode of The Aligned Female Entrepreneur, I'm sitting down with real estate, architecture, and interiors photographer Jen Cypress for a conversation about business growth, refinement, and what it really takes to reach your next level.

    Jen has spent over a decade building a successful photography business, working with high-level clients and consistently growing year after year.

    But like many entrepreneurs, she reached a point where she wanted to grow her revenue in an aligned way.

    In this conversation, we explore what shifted when she stopped looking outside her business for the answer… and started refining what was already working.

    Through a few focused changes, Jen was able to increase her revenue, sign higher-level clients, and ultimately reach her first six-figure year.

    This episode is a great reminder that your next level often isn't found in doing more — but in mastering what works for your business.

    Here's what we cover:
    • Why building something new isn't always the most effective next step

    • The role of messaging in attracting higher-level clients

    • What happened when Jen raised her prices

    • How creating packages shifted the way clients engaged with her work

    • Why upsells can increase both client satisfaction and revenue

    • The three ways to grow your business revenue

    • How to identify and replicate your best clients

    • The mindset shift that changed how Jen approached her business

    • Creating more stability in a seasonal business model

    • Building a mentorship offer to support slower seasons

  • Ep. 80: How Women Can Build Real Wealth: Investing and Financial Literacy with Morgan Blackman
    2026/03/05

    In this powerful episode of The Aligned Female Entrepreneur, I'm sitting down with holistic wealth coach, investor, writer, and speaker Morgan Blackman.

    Morgan helps soul-conscious women build wealth in alignment with their values, vision, and energetic design. Her work blends practical financial strategy with mindset, wellness, and deeper personal alignment so women can create true financial security and freedom.

    In this conversation, we dive into one of the most important topics women are rarely taught: how to actually build wealth.

    Morgan shares how she went from knowing nothing about investing to becoming a self-taught investor with consistent returns, and how that journey inspired her to help other women gain the financial literacy and confidence needed to grow their money intentionally.

    Together, we unpack the mindset shifts and practical tools that help women move from simply earning money… to building long-term wealth.

    If you've ever felt intimidated by investing, unsure how to organize your finances, or stuck in the cycle of making money without growing it, this episode will give you a clear and empowering starting point.

    Here's what we cover:

    • Morgan's journey from university student to self-taught investor
    • Why financial literacy is a powerful form of self-care
    • The concept of "expanders" and how they shift your beliefs about wealth
    • Why defining your personal version of wealth matters more than chasing a number
    • The difference between gross income, net income, and net worth
    • Why tracking your finances is the first step to building wealth
    • How creating financial margin opens the door to investing
    • What compound interest really means and why time matters so much
    • How to get started investing even if you only have a small amount of money
    • Why diversification and ethical investing are important parts of long-term wealth

    This conversation is full of practical financial wisdom, empowering mindset shifts, and simple steps you can take to start building wealth with clarity and confidence.

    How Chelsy Went from a Capped 1:1 Practice to a $11K Group Launch in Weeks—Without Childcare

    In this powerful episode, I sit down with the brilliant and beloved Chelsy Barber — a certified personal trainer, orthopedic exercise specialist, and NLP practitioner — to talk about how she transformed her business after hitting a plateau. As a solo mom and service-based entrepreneur, Chelsy knew something had to change if she wanted to grow her income without burning out.

This is an inspiring behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to pivot your business with clarity, creativity, and heart.

    What We'll Cover:
    • How Chelsy built a 90-day fitness program that feels personal at scale

    • The role of mentorship, clarity, and reflection in business growth as a seasoned entrepreneur

    • The truth about launching before you're ready — and why it works

    • The mindset shift that helped Chelsy let go of perfectionism and launch with ease

    • How launching before her course was 100% finished created a better product

    • The unexpected emotional and creative benefits of finally getting out of the echo chamber

    Pull Out Quotes:

    "Launching before I felt ready turned out to be the best thing I could've done — for me and for the people in the program."

    "The planning IS the doing. Stop thinking about being in business — and just BE in business."

    2025/01/03

    Welcome to another episode of The Aligned Female Entrepreneur! In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most powerful tools I've discovered in my decade-plus as a coach and business mentor: visioning. This is the practice that has consistently created "can't-make-this-up" miracles for me and my clients. If you're ready to reflect, realign, and set yourself up for success in 2025, you're in for a treat.

    • Personal stories of how I've used visioning to turn struggle into success in my business, health, relationships, and beyond.

    • Practical steps you can take today to clarify your vision and align your energy for a powerful new year.

    What You'll Walk Away With:

    • A clear understanding of how visioning works and why it's so effective.

    • Tools to release the blocks that have been holding you back.

    • The confidence to act as the highest version of yourself and attract the success, relationships, and life you truly desire.

    Key Takeaways:

    • The Power of Energy Alignment: Whether it's attracting clients, finding love, or achieving health goals, I've seen time and again that shifting your energy creates results beyond logic.

    • Lessons from My Struggle: From rebuilding my business after having two kids under two to navigating big life transitions, I share how visioning helped me find clarity and stay grounded.

    • You Can't Make This Sh*t Up: In my community, we often joke about the hashtag #YouCantMakeThisShitUp because crazy miracles happen when you align your energy with your vision and take consistent action.

    I'm hosting a special event to help you take this work to the next level and craft your vision for 2025, plus learn how to take the right next steps to make it happen:
