After two months away from the podcast, I’m back with a topic that came through in the moment : a reflection on desire-led business.

I share what worked, what didn’t, and the key lesson that shaped my 2025: you create your best results when you follow what you want, not what you think you should be doing. From letting go of group programs, to embracing 1:1 depth, to asking myself “what do I want to do today?”, this episode is an honest look at building a business that feels aligned, spacious, intuitive, and successful.

You’ll walk away with one powerful question to shape your 2026: If anything was possible, what would you actually want to do?

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Ella McConnell, senior yoga teacher, solo mum, and entrepreneur, to explore how yoga became both her healing practice and the foundation of her thriving business.

After the sudden loss of her husband when her youngest was just seven weeks old, Ella faced the painful realization that no one was coming to save her. Instead, she chose to step into her power, rewrite her story, and consciously create a life and business that truly support her and her children.

We talk about:

• Moving from victimhood to empowerment and the mindset shift of “I can save me.”
• How yoga supports the nervous system, trauma healing, and resilience beyond just the physical poses.
• The challenges of charging your worth, holding boundaries, and overcoming money stories as a wellness entrepreneur.
• Balancing feminine and masculine energy in business, and working with cycles for greater flow.
• The importance of creating freedom—not just chasing “six-figures”—as the true why behind business.

Ella’s story is proof that even after devastating loss, you can rise, reclaim your voice, and build a life and business that feel deeply aligned.

🎧 Tune in for wisdom, strength, and practical insights to support your own healing and business journey.
