Today on the Profit Connections Podcast, I’m joined by intuitive relationship expert and Human Design specialist Sandra Lee.

Sandra shares how understanding your energy and the energy of those around you can transform strained relationships, ease emotional tension, and help you finally clear the mental clutter that keeps you from showing up fully in your business.

We explore how tools like Human Design and sound therapy can bring powerful clarity, not just in your personal life, but in how you communicate, connect, and lead as an entrepreneur.

It all starts with inner and outer healing and connection. Because when your relationships are aligned, your focus sharpens, your energy flows, and your business begins to thrive.

Key Takeaways:

• Emotional pollution impacts business – Stress from strained relationships drains your energy and focus.
• Human Design provides clarity – Mapping shows yours and others’ energy types, motivations, and communication styles.
• Stop self-blame – Understanding chart differences helps you stop internalizing conflict as solely your fault.
• Broadcast consciously – If your natural energy expression could feel “pushy,” acknowledge it and dial it back when needed.
• Creating safe connections – Inviting clients to share and be heard helps build rapport and trust quickly.
• Alignment attracts – When your actions, words, and energy match your Human Design, opportunities find you.
• Consistency is key – A coherent energetic and behavioral message builds credibility in your business.
• Transformation is possible – Healing personal relationships clears space for business growth and renewed motivation.

In today’s episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of some of my real-life conversations with business owners to reveal the three biggest and often hidden barriers that keep us entrepreneurs stuck.

From the fog of indecision to the perfectionism-fueled hurdles we create that sabotage progress, we’re breaking down the mindset traps that quietly block your momentum.

If you’ve been spinning in “what ifs,” waiting for a sign, or holding back until things feel perfect, this is your nudge.

It’s time to decide, take action, and trust yourself enough to move forward with in both clarity and confidence.

Key Takeaways:

• Indecision is a choice that keeps you in place—Choose a direction and work to make it the right one.
• False hurdles stop progress—Things like “I can’t move forward until my website is done” are often self-imposed barriers rooted in fear or perfectionism. Done is better than perfect.
• Delaying what matters sabotages your growth— Taking action—any action—is the fastest way to build clarity and momentum.
• You’re more ready than you think—You don’t need permission. You just need to move.
• Accountability and mindset matter—If you struggle to move forward alone, find someone to hold the mirror up for you and walk the path together.
• Progress happens in motion—There are a hundred ways to reach your goal, but only one thing guarantees progress and that is forward action.

Are you running your business—or is it running you? In this week’s powerful episode, Sharon welcomes business growth strategist Lynne Roe, who helps six-figure entrepreneurs step into the CEO role, build businesses that scale, and reclaim their time.

If you’ve ever felt stuck doing all the things or wondered how to take your business to the next level without sacrificing your life—this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• The Power of the CEO Mindset – Why business owners must shift from doing everything to leading strategically.
