The Cosmic Business Podcast (Paula Crossfield)

Are you using ChatGPT in your business? I’ve been connecting with many of you on Instagram about this topic, and it seems that many business owners are steering away from using ChatGPT because it’s perceived to be opposed to the values of creating connection and supporting overall humanity.

I think this perception is based on a misunderstanding of how to actually use this tool. Let’s do some myth-busting today and discuss specific ways you can use ChatGPT to boost your content, save your valuable time, and supercharge your business. Join us!

Show Highlights:

• The reality: AI technology is here to stay; learn to use it wisely and don’t get left behind!
• A few of my favorite AI tools and how I use them: otter.ai, meme.ai, and ChatGPT
• 5 ways to use ChatGPT without compromising your values or dehumanizing your business:
• To reformat content you have used elsewhere
• To research topics you want to learn more about
• To analyze data, create tables, and distill information
• To create the most SEO-ready and searchable titles for podcasts, blogs, subjects, etc. 
• To create code for you within specific parameters
• Considerations about ChatGPT’s free version vs. the paid version
• Why you have to be good at creating prompts to maximize ChatGPT capabilities (Check out Episode 100: Using ChatGPT for Your Cosmic Business with Abhinav Chetan for more.)

We are so grateful that...

Kate Schutt is an award-winning singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer whose voice NPR calls “glassily clear and glossily sweet.” Her songs have won top honors from the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and ASCAP. American Songwriter calls Kate’s newest album, Bright Nowhere, illuminating and “the work that ought to bring her the wider recognition she so decidedly deserves.” Kate has shared stages with Terri Lyne Carrington, Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, Scott Colley, and Bernard Perdie, to name only a few.

When not making music, Kate is an elite life coach who specializes in helping people navigate big, pivotal, powerful moments, like being ready to die, creating new careers, starting new businesses, and chasing gold medals. Her TEDx talk, A Grief Casserole, has had over 50k views and has been called “nothing short of life-changing for people struggling with grief and loss.” In this conversation, we go deep on the subjects of grief, death, and loss. Kate shares how she sat with her mom as she was dying, and how that experience led to the songs on her new album. Join us to hear Kate’s story, her wisdom about the creative process, and her inspiring music. 

Show Highlights:

• Kate’s journey as a musician, which began with piano and guitar at age 11
• How songwriting for Kate is a process to get an answer to something—a very SLOW process with precision and restraint
• How Kate uses folders to create her “word horde” files of ideas and words to be used in songwriting
• How Kate marries music and lyrics in her songwriting process
• How Kate’s reading shows creative energy and the amplification of poetry, perfectly explaining who she is and what she does
• The story of Kate’s mother’s cancer journey and the four-plus years that Kate enjoyed being with her and caring for her to maximize her quality of life
• How Kate’s song, Victory on the Road to Defeat, came about during her mom’s illness as a commentary on the western system of medicine
• How Kate was galvanized to be frank and honest with her mom during her illness–and how loved ones can show up for each other in similar instances
• What it means to “pre-grieve” and prepare yourself for the death of a loved one–and even your own death
• Why Kate has “ready to die” practices to remind her that we are all “on the edge” between life and death
• Why Kate’s experience with the loss of her mother has made her more aware of the sacredness of time and the need for people around her to know what they mean to her
• What it means to Kate to live in her purpose
• Hear Kate’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding habits, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, inspiring people, something people might not know about her, and what’s bringing her joy right now.

As we have just experienced the eclipse, we are entering a powerful nodal time for the next few months. It’s helpful to understand more about Saturn and how we can work with Saturn’s energy. Join me!

Show Highlights:

• Why pain and discomfort can be a time of purification that leads to living our highest selves
• How Saturn strips us of distractions and reminds us to rely on our inner support
• How Saturn is a teacher who doesn’t deny the lesson--but sometimes delays the lesson
• What it means when we have to live out a bad karma, and why we need to prioritize ourselves and our process
• My personal example of nodal disruption

In today’s show, we are talking about the north and south nodes, places in the sky where eclipses happen. They are known as Rahu and Ketu and are considered shadow planets in Vedic astrology. They have the properties of creating quickening, destabilization, innovation, and change. Let’s talk about the times of change that are on the horizon and how you can make the most of them!

Show Highlights:

• How two eclipses are coming on Nov. 18/19 and Dec. 4:
• These are “lay low” days that can be disturbing.
• Emotions can be pulled to the surface.
• Be mindful, don’t take risks, and be extra careful.
• After the eclipses, we move into a period of Kala Sarpa, which lasts for 5-6 months; this means the nodes have all the visible planets on one side.
• How Kala Sarpa is a time of swift changes that is hard emotionally and physically; you may feel busy and disrupted, so ground yourself in the things that serve you best
• From a practical perspective, get back to the basics of yoga, mantras, and meditation
• My tips: do one simple thing that can anchor you in the morning and honor the change
• From an ayurvedic perspective, drink hot liquids, oil the skin, stay warm, and eat simple foods; notice when you feel scattered and come back to yourself, ground yourself, and move more slowly.
• Other tips: be in nature as much as possible, ask for help and support, schedule breaks, be more organized, and don’t make rash decisions.
• In business, you may want to take a break and be less visible on social media

I’m taking a hiatus this summer, stepping back from content creation to focus on my writing project, so we will be sharing some of our favorite episodes over the next few weeks. These are impactful episodes that you might have missed, or if not, they certainly deserve to be revisited. Today’s episode was featured over two years ago as I recorded a live interview at a retreat in Baja, Mexico, with my yoga teacher, Scott Blossom. 

Scott Blossom is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda. He is skilled at elegantly combining science with the experiential practice of yoga. Scott studied for a long time with the founder of Shadow Yoga, Shandor Remete, and he was also a student of Dr. Robert Svoboda. A yoga teacher since 1997, Scott has been an integral part of my life for more than ten years. In today’s conversation, Scott shares his journey into traditional Chinese medicine, yoga, and Ayurveda; what lights him up about his work; and his advice to others who are figuring out their purpose. We also discuss the decolonial worldview, waking up the inherent truths inside us, and the important role that yoga can play in overall awareness. 

**Please see Resources below for Scott’s contact info and available resources, along with sign-up links for the Cosmic Business Lab and the Cosmic Business Mastermind. 

Show Highlights:

• Scott’s journey of discovering yoga as a helpful study tool as a pre-med student and diving headlong into Eastern medicine, meditation, and spiritual practice
• Combining spirituality and science
• Scott’s work with his patients to help them trust traditional Chinese medicine in the Western world
• Prana–”the nexus between Ayurveda and hatha yoga”

• The core of Ayurveda: how the microcosm and macrocosm reflect each other
• Scott’s perspective of living in his purpose
• Scott’s advice to others who are trying to find their purpose
• How Scott survived the pandemic by paying attention to the basics, like sleep and mental health
• Honoring the ancestors of our land, our practice, and our families
• Yoga, traditional Chinese medicine, and Ayurveda can be ways to re-light a fire.
• Allowing “all the voices” to grieve and heal together over racial injustice
• Hear Scott’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding habits, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, an inspiring person, something people might now know, what he’s reading right now, and what’s bringing him joy.

How much time do you have left? Are you living your life to the fullest each day? These are concepts that can bring discomfort when we ponder the harsh reality of our lives. Wouldn’t it be more inspiring to view our lives and mortality in an uplifting way? Don’t we all want to live each day “astonishingly alive”? Join us to learn more!

Jodi Wellman is a speaker, author, and facilitator who helps people live lives worth living. She specifically helps her clients live squander-free lives while they're lucky enough to still be above ground.

In this episode, we discuss how connecting with your death can actually help you live a life that is more astonishingly alive, and why you should be counting your Mondays, plus practical tips for cultivating your curiosity and sense that you are not living on the sidelines. Jodi also allows us to take a look behind the scenes of her creativity-focused business.

We just have a couple more weeks of my summer hiatus, during which I’m focusing on my writing project and offering you encore editions of some of our favorite episodes. Today’s episode aired about a year ago, and it highlights the value of language and communication in determining the strength and health of our relationships. My guest shares simple mindset shifts in our language that can transform us into more conscious communicators. Join us to learn more!

Alejandra Siroka is a former client of mine and a communications expert who has devoted her life to teaching how language and communication shape our lives and relationships.

She helps clients learn communication techniques that help them maintain a thriving life. Alejandra combines scientific approaches with holistic methods, and she holds three master’s degrees in the fields of language, communication, and transformative leadership. In today’s conversation, she teaches us how to decondition from the power-over paradigm, how to use language to evolve, and how to connect with people with whom you disagree. She also gives her best tips for showing up authentically in your work and life. 

**Please see Resources below for sign-up links for the Cosmic Business Lab and the Cosmic Business Mastermind. 

Show Highlights: 

• What is Language Alchemy?

• Alejandra’s tips to live and communicate more authentically:
• Separate your agenda from your intentions.
• Use spontaneity and “aliveness” in communication instead of being trite and repetitive.

Are you a workaholic—or a recovering workaholic, like me? Join me as we dive into a deeply personal conversation about escaping the clutches of workaholism and prioritizing health and happiness in our businesses. For years, I believed workaholism was an inescapable part of who I was, but as I explored my lineage and culture, I discovered its roots and made a conscious choice to break free of this trap. I’ve tried a few new strategies, and I’m happy to share with you what works, what doesn’t, and my plan for the next six months.

Let’s uncover insights, strategies, and practices to shift the narrative in YOUR business to honor your health and align with your deepest values. As we seek to build cosmic businesses that nourish our souls, let's revolutionize how we work, redefine success, and learn to live our best lives. Join me for this episode!

Show Highlights:

• Why I’m committed to a new paradigm of doing business where health is prioritized over profit
• How I am deconditioning from a strong lineage and long history of workaholism 
• Why I had to quit everything and take a break before rebuilding and experimenting
• How capitalistic culture conditions us all to overwork and NOT put our health first
• My practices for reducing workaholism: morning movement, gratitude, chanting/breath work, reducing work availability, and canceling “extra” things
• Why I feel that it is a service to my clients to honor my boundaries and create space to serve them at my highest capacity
• How you can strategically cut back where you have overcommitted to save your time and energy
• Why I’m committed to a “three-item list” each day—and how I celebrate its completion
• How my mentality evolves as I make adjustments to my schedule and priorities as the universe leads me to a better way
• How we can “burnout proof” our businesses through strategic systems, clarity of marketing, creating irresistible offers, and learning to love sales
• What I’m focusing on for the next six months to prioritize my health, create spaciousness, and add more JOY activities to my life
• How new AI technology can help us reduce overwork by reformatting and repurposing content
• My question for you: What is ONE thing you can do right now to put your health at the center of your business?

Today’s show is an eye-opening interview with a Soul Midwife. We are talking about death, dying, and how to make things more peaceful and comforting for those who are dying. This topic is an important one, especially in light of the current pandemic and the large number of people who are dealing with loved ones who are dying. Join us to learn more!

Dawn Young is a Soul Midwife. She has done hospice volunteer work since 2012, and she also co-facilitates a community grief group in Astoria, Oregon. She is a member of NODA, No One Dies Alone, and she volunteers at the local hospital in Astoria. Dawn trained to become a Soul Midwife beginning in 2015 with Felicity Warner, the founder of The Soul Midwife Movement in the UK. Our conversation goes deep into what we need to know as the living to become ready for death and how we can take care of those who are dying by noticing the process they undergo. We also talk about how people have passed away alone during this pandemic and how that has changed Dawn’s work. Along with other Soul Midwives, Dawn conducts free Zoom presentations every few weeks called Dying to Chat. See our resources section for more information. 

Show Highlights:

• What it means to be a Soul Midwife, a holistic spiritual companion to the dying and their families
• How working in a pediatric hospital many years ago brought Dawn into her work with the dying 
• Why being in service to those who are dying and their families has become Dawn’s life purpose
• How the physical death process includes changes in appetite, blood pressure, breathing, and other functions as the body prepares to shut down
• The four stages of death recognized by a Soul Midwife:
• Earth–The patient becomes fatigued.
• Water–The patient becomes incontinent and may cry a lot.
• Fire–Restlessness and terminal agitation set in as the patient realizes that death is coming.
• Air–The patient becomes peaceful and quiet.
• How death is like birth–and the midwife’s role is similar in both cases
• Why death is more difficult when people have a lot to resolve to make peace with themselves and others
• The mystery of what dying people see in their final moments that we don’t see or understand
• Dawn’s advice to the living: “Keep your relationships current and healthy.”
• How Dawn’s work has changed because of the COVID-19 pandemic
• Why death should be a time when people are loved, safe, and not alone
• How we can set intentions to reach a loved one through our energy
• What Dawn wishes we all knew about death and how we should “do death differently”
• How to approach a dying person with calm, slow intention, peaceful touch, and soft words
• Dawn’s advice for dealing with the difficult conversations about death with our loved ones
• What it means to Dawn to live in her purpose
• How to better listen to your intuition
• How our culture doesn’t really value the elderly like other cultures do
• How essential oils can be beneficial in soothing someone through the transition to death
• Hear Dawn’s answers to rapid-fire questions about great advice, grounding habits, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, an inspiring person, something that people might not know, what she’s reading, and what’s bringing her joy right now. 
• Parting advice from Dawn: “Be gentle with yourself and others. What you do to another will affect you. Take each person’s heart into consideration. Keep your relationships current and be loving and kind.”

You are in for a treat in today’s episode! I’m sharing a clip from a teaching given by my dear friend and former podcast guest, Rachael Ferrera. She teaches about healing and the power of letting go of competition and becoming more of ourselves and our businesses through tapping into self-love, trust, and intuition. This clip is from a class that she delivered in one of my group programs, and I wanted to share it here because Rachael is amazing and inspiring.

Last year, she had an episode of sepsis that almost took her life. As her friends and support, many of us have been rooting her on and trying to help her as she heals. A GoFundMe has been a lifeline to help with her medical bills and recovery, but it’s still about $5000 short of her goal. If you get something out of this episode and want to help Rachael, find the GoFundMe link in our Resources section and please support Rachael. She’s someone who wears many hats with her work as an actor, singer, transformational speaker, spoken word poet, and Reiki Master Practitioner.

Join us to hear more from Rachael!

Show Highlights:

• Learn breathwork with Rachael
• How to hold space for your intentions and open yourself up to energies
• How Rachael came to her healing work as a theater student at NYU
• Why people need the gifts you offer them through your work
• How Rachael’s business offerings have shifted and been reshaped as she experienced growth
• How to allow your business to unfold as you reach your highest potential
• Why blocks happen when we need to uplevel self-love, intuition, and trust
• A three-step process to increase your level of self-love and activate belief in yourself:
• Identify the negative stories
• Identify three truths about you and your business–and write them down!
• Integrate Steps 1 & 2 by recognizing each negative story and replacing it with one of your truths. 
• Rachael leads us in an exercise to allow healing energy to flow in and wash over us

In addition to writing the words that get landing pages converted at 60% or higher and crafting personality-filled emails, Marisa Corcoran is the creator of the wildly popular Copy Chat Summit and helps coaches and creatives craft their uncopyable message inside her program, The Copy Confidence Society. Her framework has been featured in Business Insider, Thrive Global, and Voyage Atlanta. When not click-clacking on her laptop in the Atlanta sun, you can find this Harvard grad analyzing Real Housewives episodes like it’s a government policy in consuming inappropriate amounts of outrageous farce. In this conversation, Marisa explains why copy is the center of your business, her journey from actor to copywriter, and how her program will help you succeed in business. She is the kind of entrepreneur whom I admire because she builds giving back into her business model, seeing her business as a useful channel for helping people. 

Show Highlights:

• Marisa’s journey from actor to copywriting genius–and how Winnie the Pooh broke her
• How she moved from Plan A to Plan B–and found everything she wanted
• Why your words are SO important in calling people into your business, allowing them to know you, and helping you stand out in the marketplace
• Why one of Marisa’s core values is to give back to causes that mean much to her
• Why Marisa isn’t shy or hesitant to speak up about the causes she supports
• Marisa’s tips for being more vocal about what you believe and giving back through your business
• What it means to Marisa to live in her purpose
• How working with Money Mindset Coach Amber Dugger helped Marisa get on track with her personal and business finances

Nothing is more important to the success of your business than your message. Everything about your brand and your values is reflected in your marketing message. Is now the time to refine and refresh your message? Today’s show covers the six keys to crafting your strong message that will help you get more sales and have more happy customers!

Show Highlights:

• Why your message should help your ideal client answer three questions: “Is this for me? Why are you the one to help me? How do I know this is worth the risk?”
• How your message acts as a filter to attract your ideal clients who need what you have to offer and to repel those who aren’t a good fit
• The six keys to a strong message: clear, consistent, relevant, differentiated, engaging, and valuable
• “Take these keys and use them to refine your message and connect more deeply with your ideal clients.” –Paula

Do you want to know more about accessing your intuition? This episode is about using your intuition as a powerful insight to know what to do next and how to work with the energy of Saturn to overcome obstacles. Join us to learn more!

I’m joined by my friend, mentor, and client, Dr. Robert Svoboda. He is an expert in his knowledge of the Vedic sciences from the traditional Indian teachings, and it is an honor to have him on today’s show to teach us about working with Saturn. He wrote The Greatness of Saturn, a book I highly recommend if you want to understand your obstacles, triggers, and things that keep you from rising to your highest potential. As the planet that holds and unfolds our karma, Saturn is an important planet to understand.

Show Highlights:

• Why Saturn is the planet we should pay attention to more than any other
• The qualities of Saturn and its effect on us
• How Saturn does not encourage quick gratification because of its remoteness, separation, isolation, dissatisfaction, and slowness
• How Saturn rules old age, sickness, and death
• How Saturn has positive qualities that can be accessed when we understand discipline and impulse control
• Why Saturn brings a satisfaction that comes gradually—and not a quick and temporary gratification
• How Saturn strips away our desires and helps us see what really matters
• How Saturn helps us see what we are supposed to do in the world–and what we are not supposed to do
• How Saturn teaches us to be quiet and calm, enduring what needs to be endured (as we endure, we purify our karmic reality and have better and clearer awareness)
• How Saturn helps us navigate obstacles, clear space, and learn to be of service
• How Saturn helps us clarify the right goals for alignment with our dharma
• How we can tune into our intuition to know what to do, with Saturn’s help

Key takeaways: “When working with Saturn, we have to be calm and patient, knowing when to rest and how to cultivate our intuition. We have to be willing to change our course and always start slowly when we attempt something new.”

We are talking about dharma, artha, kama, and moksha, which are the four aims of life according to the Indian wisdom teachings. I’ll discuss each one and put them in context for you as a business owner, including why your business should tap into all four. Join me to learn more!

Show Highlights:

• The four aims of life:
• Dharma, which represents justice, righteousness, and balance, means sharing your particular gifts. It correlates to the first 25 years of life. 
• Artha is about acquiring material wealth so we can take care of our responsibilities and generally covers life from 25-50 years. 
• Kama is about enjoyment, which is just as important as dharma and artha. It roughly correlates to ages 50-75.
• Moksha is about release, which means setting aside material things to finish untying your karmic knots, releasing things you no longer need, and preparing for death in honor of the cycle of life. If we are lucky, this correlates to ages 75-100. 
• How these four periods can happen concurrently, with none of them being more important than the others
• Why spiritual entrepreneurs have the opportunity to include all four aims and not focus solely on artha and business building
• How each of the four aims is at work in your business:
• Dharma is your reason for doing what you are doing–your WHY.
• Artha, infused with dharma, inspires us to give back and make more impact as we grow our bottom line.
• Kama is where we derive our inspiration; it’s essential to prevent burnout.
• Moksha is all about “the bigger picture.” It is about legacy, taking time away for retreat, and knowing what really matters. 
• If these four aims resonate with you and the kind of business you desire to build, please join Your Magnetic Blueprint today!

Setting intentions in our businesses and lives is a very powerful concept, and it plays a big role in the way we bring things to fruition. Join me for a deeper look at why goals and intentions are not the same thing. 

Show Highlights:

• Why setting an intention is much more than a goal because it means “putting your life force into something”
• Why an intention doesn’t have to be an outcome-based goal 
• A closer look at the concept of “the ends justify the means”
• How the intention that we set for something will create the outcome
• Why it is important to set up our businesses with the intention of having space for rest, nature, and other things
• Why it’s easiest to set intentions on a regular basis by following the moon’s cycle
• Practical ways to set intentions to create more power behind them and remind our subconscious 
• How intentions create the direction for our lives while remediating our karma by refocusing our attention

In today’s conversation, Scott shares his journey into traditional Chinese medicine, yoga, and Ayurveda; what lights him up about his work; and his advice to others who are figuring out their purpose. We also discuss the decolonial worldview, waking up the inherent truths inside us, and the important role that yoga can play in this awareness.

The word “home” means many different things that bring a wide range of feelings, depending on your experience. You may see that home is the keyword for today’s episode and the conversation with my lovely guest. Join us for this conversation that is full of light and warmth. 

Genevieve Walker is a violinist and composer who grew up in a musical household in which the sound of tuning a violin became synonymous with home. She lived in the classical music world for many years before traveling the world as a young adult. She was influenced by different cultures and approaches to music and began weaving these influences into her playing. Having toured internationally as a violinist, Genevieve has seen the world through the perspective of the stage. Perhaps she is most known for her long-time accompaniment for Krishna Das, with whom she has recorded and performed extensively. Genevieve composed her first solo album, Walking Home, while pregnant with her first son. Two kids and some life later, she has completed her second solo album, Home Songs. This album is a shift in her orientation, drawing upon the sounds and melodies of everyday life to express a collective ode to the longing and cultivation of home. Home Songs is a musical exploration of finding home and the people we love. In addition to being a violinist, Genevieve is a certified yoga teacher and a licensed psychotherapist. She views her approach to these disciplines as a way to unwind deeper into ourselves and untie the home that exists within us all. In this conversation, we talk about what it is like to have a long-term relationship with an instrument and her journey to playing the violin. She discusses the idea of home and what it means to her, along with how motherhood has influenced her music, and she shares how she came to meet Krishna Das and ended up playing music with him. 

Show Highlights:

• Why Genevieve was inspired as a young child to start to play the violin
• Why the concept of “home” has been a preoccupation for Genevieve in her spiritual journey
• How Genevieve’s chart aligns perfectly with her path and her craving for home
• How she has learned to balance creativity and motherhood
• How she met and began playing with Krishna Das
• How playing kirtan and classical differ for Genevieve
• Genevieve’s new project: writing melodies for the 21 Tara mantras
• How music and creativity can help support mental health 
• What it means to Genevieve to live in her purpose
• Hear Genevieve’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding practices, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, an inspiring person, something people might not know about her, what she’s reading right now, and what’s bringing her joy.

As I’m taking a summer hiatus, stepping back from content creation, and focusing on my writing project, we are airing some of our favorite episodes that deserve to be repeated. 

Today’s episode originally aired a little over one year ago and features powerful insight into understanding intuition and working with the energy of Saturn to overcome obstacles. 

I’m joined by my friend, mentor, and client, Dr. Robert Svoboda. He is an expert in the knowledge of the Vedic sciences from the traditional Indian teachings, and it’s always an honor to welcome him to the show. He wrote The Greatness of Saturn, a book I highly recommend if you want to understand your obstacles, triggers, and things that keep you from rising to your highest potential. As the planet that holds and unfolds our karma, Saturn is an important planet to understand. 

**Please see Resources below for sign-up links for the Cosmic Business Lab and the Cosmic Business Mastermind. 

Show Highlights:

• Saturn: its importance, qualities, and effect on us as humans
• Saturn’s remoteness, separation, isolation, dissatisfaction, and slowness mean it doesn’t encourage quick gratification.

• Saturn’s role in stripping away our desires and helping us see what really matters
• Saturn’s role in helping us see what we are supposed to do in the world–and what we are not supposed to do
• Saturn’s role in teaching us to be quiet and calm, enduring what needs to be endured (as we endure, we purify our karmic reality and have better and clearer awareness)
• Saturn’s role in helping us navigate obstacles, clear obstacles, and learn to be of service
• Saturn’s role in clarifying the right goals for alignment with our dharma
• How Saturn helps us tune into our intuition to know what do to
• Key takeaways from Dr. Svoboda: “When working with Saturn, we have to be calm and patient, knowing when to rest and how to cultivate our intuition. We have to be willing to change our course and always start slowly when we attempt something new.”

Is visibility a struggle for you in your business? Don’t miss this episode about developing better strategies for being visible so you don’t burn out. Join us!

Mai-kee Tsang is the Sustainable Visibility® Mentor, Certified Trauma-Conscious Leadership Coach, podcast guesting strategist, and public speaker. She helps socially-conscious leaders become sustainably visible so they can continue to make a deeper difference to those they serve without compromising their own capacity, safety and values in the process. In this conversation, we go deep into sustainable visibility by discussing what it is, what it looks like in practice, and how you can weave it into your business. We also talk about podcast guesting as a strategy that lasts and builds relationships, and why it’s a great move for introverts and empaths. She also talks about leading with your values and creating a business that is centered on your purpose and aligned with your human design, a subject near and dear to Mai-kee’s heart. She shares her thoughts about long-term profit as a result of leading with your values instead of just looking for short-term gains.

Show Highlights:

• What it means to have sustainable visibility–and how Mai-kee has built a brand around it
• Why Mai-kee wanted to “flip the script” about visibility in the online world
• How we can be visible and still maintain a safe space with boundaries, safety, and empowerment
• How the trauma brain works
• How to create safety in visibility around sharing details
• Mai-kee’s three A’s of capacity: anticipation, action, and aftermath
• How Mai-kee decompresses and grounds herself to minimize anxiety
• Advice for business builders
• How understanding her human design helps Mai-kee understand her business
• How Mai-kee functions as a cyclical content creator synced with moon, menstrual, and manifester cycles
• How her business has ebbed and flowed as she has refined her zone of genius and learned to lead from her values
• How she began addressing inequity and racism in her business as an ethical entrepreneur
• What Mai-kee’s chart says about her creative energy, innovation, and communicating her values
• How Mai-kee deals with “repelling energy” from clients by viewing it as a misalignment
• How she uses podcasting to promote her work and connect with people
• Hear Mai-kee’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, morning routine, and what she is reading/recommending.

I’m back after a summer hiatus, and I have much to share with you about how I spent these two months, mostly focused on writing my book. I’ve had the chance to connect more fully with our farm, harvesting, preserving, and canning food. I even experimented with making pickles, drying herbs, and creating herb blends. Many great guests and conversations are coming up for you on the podcast, and I can’t wait to share them with you!

We are in the middle of huge astrological events! The ancestor fortnight and eclipse tomorrow are monumental in the way they align. I want to talk about their impact and what you can do during this time. Join me to learn more!

Show Highlights:

• Two powerful cosmic phenomena are combining to make this fall a very intense and transformative moment:
• Details about the first eclipse: tomorrow, Sept. 17 at 10:34 pm Eastern
• There are signs of ending and loss, and this is a bad time to make aesthetic decisions. We should focus more on spiritual practices.
• Details about the second eclipse: Oct. 2 at 2:48 pm Eastern
• There are signs of working with your hands, manipulation and making things happen. This is THE single most inauspicious day of the year, which makes it a lay-low day. This is a good time to honor our ancestors. For your business, steer clear of important conversations and doing business; stay behind the scenes and work on systems and processes. 
• A recap of important dos and don’ts for now through Sept. 18 and Sept. 17-Oct. 2
• This is a great time for extra self-care, less screen time, eating easily digestible foods, and getting extra rest.
• This is a great time for reflection on “what has been” in honoring the ancestors and performing rituals to call them forward.
• How I use the ritual of offering incense and sweets to a body of water on behalf of my ancestors to reduce karmic friction and disturbances
• Focusing on our personal well-being can benefit our businesses by putting us in the best shape possible to be in a good flow to move forward!

Today’s show is a real treat! It’s a rich conversation about being grounded and using divination as a tool. We discuss those things and much more with our exciting guest. Join us!

Téo Montoya is a human design analyst, metamodern myth mender, and indigenous futurist living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is also an enrolled member of the Lipan Apache Band of Texas. His work focuses on synthesizing cosmological and spiritual systems, myths, archetypes, and modalities to find ways of supporting an emerging world in crisis through human development, ecological literacy, and reciprocity with our more-than-human kin. In today’s conversation, Téo explains myth mending and the concept of meta-modernism, along with indigenous futurism, how he defines it, and why it’s important in this day and age. His work is important because it is on the leading edge of where we go from this current time of ecological and social crisis. 

Show Highlights:

• A brief overview of how Téo’s spiritual path unfolded, thanks in part to his unusual mentor of ten years
• How understanding human design brought an understanding of the different ways of being human and conscious
• Why Téo’s work and focus falls between the esoteric and the practical spaces
• Why the current “meaning crisis” is contributing to a psychological health crisis
• Why we need myths and systems that help us understand who we are and where we fit into the complexity of our world
• How we move through developmental stages of an intersubjective understanding of reality
• The difference in modernism, postmodernism, and meta-modernism
• The work of myth mending in helping people rebuild their meaning-making muscles
• The basics of human design, which is a synthesis of multiple modalities that helps people bring their fullness into the world
• A look at Téo’s chart and what it shows for him
• The interesting space of being “in-between” spirituality and practicality
• How Téo explains indigenous futurism as a narrative blueprint for the future
• How we can remain hopeful and aware of the infinite possibilities for the future, even in the midst of the terrible things around us
• How the incarnation cross in human design is our energetic purpose in the world
• Hear Téo’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding habits, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, favorite books, and what’s bringing him joy right now.

If you love this episode, I ask you to 1) share it with a spirit-led entrepreneur you...

If you listened to Episode 137, you heard the re-air of my appearance on the Cubicle to CEO podcast with Ellen Yin. Today’s episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how that appearance came to be, how I pitched myself, and how I got a YES within 24 hours. You’ll hear a lot from me this year about how podcasting and pitching podcasts can be a marketing tool and a very effective business growth strategy. Listen up and take good notes because I’m dropping lots of helpful gems in this episode!

Show Highlights:

• Why pitching podcasts grows your audience and draws more people into your ecosystem than social media platforms
• Why a pitch to any podcast begins with detailed research to figure out who the audience is and how you can help them
• The steps to the methodology of my pitch:
• Lead your pitch with a compliment or something you can do for the podcast host.
• Offer a big idea about how you can help their audience.
• Share who you are, your point of view, and why their podcast is of interest to you.
• Be sure to include human elements in your “story.”
• Share your credentials and explain why you are the right person for their podcast. (Link your bio or website.)
• Let the podcaster know how you will promote the episode to your audience. 
• Hear my actual pitch to Ellen Yin for examples of how I implemented these steps!
• The results of my pitch: an acceptance within one day, along with increased sales and new people joining my circle after the episode aired
• My challenge to you: Locate five aligned podcasts for which you think you would be a great guest and write that pitch that gets you a YES!

I’m happy to be back with you after taking some time away for retreat. It’s so important that all of us take time to reconnect with something greater than ourselves and be refreshed. I have found that taking time for retreat and rest is good for my business, too, so I view it as essential to my well-being in many ways. I hope you will take your time for retreat, rest, and reconnection in whatever ways are possible for you. Let’s talk about the bigger benefits of time away!

Show Highlights:

• How my recent “mugwort experience” on retreat inspired me and reconnected me to the Earth, the sky, and natural rhythms
• How time away gives you space for true rest and helps generate new ideas and creativity
• How time for retreat connects you in community with new people
• How completely letting go of normal daily activities opens up new doors and possibilities
• Why taking time for retreat is a celebration of life and the joy of being human
• Why I urge you to take time for retreat and rest—even if it’s only one day

In many ways, all of life is a big experiment. We are constantly having to shift and change, even when we think we have things figured out, and this is true in life AND in business. In my experience, the best entrepreneurs are those most fluid in their ability to experiment. Let’s dive deeper into this topic!

Show Highlights:

• Why risk is the biggest piece of experimentation
• How vision (and support for that vision) will make or break your business
• Why you have to be willing to fail—and realize that “failure is learning”
• Why innovation (via experimentation) is a core tenet of the next two years of Saturn in Aquarius
• Why experimentation is the entrepreneur’s playground, laboratory, and field of endeavor
• Why experimentation is the leading edge of human imagination based on the information we gather
• How to evaluate your experimentation for success before moving to the next step
• “Will you let yourself experiment and evolve your business?”

Today’s episode is a turning of the tables as I am interviewed by a former client, Dr. Vignesh Devraj, on his podcast, Ayurvedic Healing & Beyond. In our discussion, we go deep into Saturn and the role of Saturn in obstructing us in our different areas of success, along with how money karma affects our success.

You’ll learn more about my background and philosophy as I share my life experiences. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

Show Highlights:

• Why doing business is “an opportunity to expand your spiritual pursuit”
• Where blocks come from in running a business–and why fulfillment comes in making an impact
• Why money is a neutral thing that is part of our lives and can be in harmony with our spiritual practice and values
• How to get clear about your money blocks
• Why Saturn will give you obstacles and cause you to lean in and learn
• How Saturn and money karma are connected
• How to remedy obstructions from Saturn by making a Saturn list
• How and why burnout occurs when we are misaligned with our purpose
• A summary of the steps to alignment and success:
• Get clear with your situation.
• Use clarity to inspire creativity.
• Declutter your life.
• Give to others to invite new energy.
• Go deep into your purpose.
• Why chanting is “medicine” to help you realign and gain insights

Today’s show brings inspiration in the form of a comeback story due to living an Ayurvedic lifestyle. Join us to learn more!

Angela Perger is an Ayurvedic practitioner in Florida and a nature-loving Mama of two beach babies.

• How Angela’s experience with a serious diagnosis and basically a death sentence has motivated her to share with others
• Why Angela understands the despair of feeling hopeless–and why she’s determined to help others
• Why we need constant awareness to realize when an eating system isn’t working–and pivot to something else
• Why Angela doesn’t advocate using a food list but encourages people to understand their bodies and adapt as they go
• Why Angela’s brand focuses on “simple Ayurveda” to bring it into a modern lifestyle 
• Angela’s Ayurvedic meal ideas that are kid-friendly and do-able for families
• How Angela’s chart shows a wounded healer with grace and creative vision
• How Ayurveda helps with ulcerative colitis
• Angela’s resources and programs for those suffering with ulcerative colitis
• What it means to Angela to live for your purpose: “It means slowing down and turning inward to hear the voice of your own intuition.”
• Hear Angela’s answers to rapid-fire questions about advice, grounding practices, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, an inspiring person, something people might not know, what she’s reading, and what’s bringing her joy right now.
• Angela’s advice for those starting a business: “Be as authentic as possible and make meaning of everything, even if it’s messy.”
• Parting advice from Angela: “Taking one small step at a time is the most sustainable path.”

Today’s show takes a look at shadow work, which is a practice that uncovers parts of our personality that may be more obscure. Even though shadow work can be unpleasant, understanding its basic function can flip the script on past traumas and bring freedom and empowerment. Join me to learn more!

Show Highlights:

• How shadow work comes from the work of Carl Jung, who explored the “unconscious parts of our personality”
• How our days are run mostly by our subconscious programming
• How Ayurvedic shadow work requires digging below the surface to look at our stories, behavior patterns, and what has impacted our minds
• The goal of shadow work
• The connection between our karmas and the planets, the supreme possessing agents of our lives
• How shadow work helps create more groundedness, healing, and overall mental health
• Why shadow work is repellent because it forces us to look at the unpleasant parts of us, but gives us the opportunity for transformation
• How shadow work is essentially taking back our story to be empowered by it
• How your birth chart can indicate where the shadow work needs to be done because of past traumas and the stories that hold us back 
• How shadow work brings us freedom as we learn to trust the unfolding

Happy New Year! As we begin this new year, you may feel pressured on every side to make resolutions and set goals; like me, you probably hear a lot of talk about New Year’s Resolutions. There’s nothing wrong with setting those goals, but I feel that resolutions and goals often fall short because they don’t have intention behind them— that’s what I’m talking about today. I hope you’ll join me!

Show Highlights:

• Why there is a big difference between setting goals and setting intentions
• What it means to truly set intentions in the best way possible
• Why the New Year doesn’t have astrological significance but brings in an auspicious time 
• How to use successes and accomplishments from last year to help set intentional goals that will stretch us in 2023
• Why intention is about flourishing and co-creating outcomes with universal forces
• How to make SMART goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timebound
• What it looks like to add intention to SMART goals for your business and life (Grab a notebook!)
• How to let yourself flow into a dreamy state to let your brain create and sink into intention

We have discussed the upcoming eclipses in past episodes, but I wanted to get more specific since they are just around the corner. Since eclipses often come in pairs, the in-between time can get sticky. Let’s talk about how these energies affect our lives and businesses and how we can make the most of this time. Join me now!

Show Highlights:

• An explanation of the eclipses and the retrograding nodes
• Why this time has the quality of moving things backward to disrupt existing patterns and create powerful shifts
• How this energy can propel us forward with innovative thinking–IF we are intentional
• The first eclipse on October 25 is a solar eclipse and the new moon; in the lunar constellation Swati, this energy is about receiving information, creating force, and being open to newness and freshness.
• My advice for the period between October 25 and November 8:
• As a business owner, avoid important decisions, contracts, and hiring new people during this time.
• Since karmas come to the surface to be dealt with, it’s important to focus on practices to ground yourself, remain calm, and give yourself grace.
• Eat well, rest well, and be slower about making decisions.
• This period is a great time for visioning, journaling, and taking in all the new ideas that come to you.
• The second eclipse is a lunar eclipse on November 8; it is a deep, ponderous, receptive, and creative container for an intense and powerful chakra.
• Why the placement of this period is about catharsis, like a death to bring rebirth and a release to allow something to be reborn
• Why this in-between period is a time for reflection and inner work and requires us to be grounded and intentional during this shifting time
• My advice: “Tap into your creative side and allow your new ideas to be born after November 8. Don’t fear the strong energy of the eclipses and remember that their goal is to eliminate obstacles and difficulties. Embrace the process and become even clearer about your purpose.”

As I am away for a couple of weeks, I wanted to re-air a couple of specific podcast episodes. I’ve chosen thoughtfully those that I think are the most helpful for entrepreneurs who think about their businesses from a spiritual perspective and are using spiritual practices to help support them. Today’s episode originally aired in October 2021, and it’s an interview with my Vedic chanting teacher. Since then, I’ve taken more of her chanting courses, which I highly recommend. Join us!

Shantala Sriramaiah studied Sanskrit chanting and Indian scriptures from an early age as part of her family tradition and school education in Bangalore, India. After being mentored by several Vedic scholars, she teaches a growing global community of students through her online platform. Our discussion covers her journey from being an engineer to starting her spiritual business, along with her family lineage as a chanter. We’ll get her perspective on being a spiritual person offering services in the Vedic traditions, and why she feels good about charging for her services. She shares how chanting supports you and how you can use it to summon the courage to get to the next level in your business. I hope you enjoy this impactful interview. 

Show Highlights:

• Shantala’s journey from growing up in a chanting household to diverse paths that have merged to point her to her purpose
• How Shantala was inspired by her mother, a chanting teacher and community leader
• How Shantala began teaching Veda Studies after moving to Belgium and becoming a mother
• Why Shantala felt clear in her purpose in teaching, even though her start was rocky and uncertain
• What it’s like to build a business around sacred things
• How Shantala’s community is benefitting from the value exchange she offers through Veda Studies
• The differences between Vedic chanting and Kirtan chanting as far as the technicality of the notes used
• Why Vedic chanting requires 100% concentration in following the rigors of the text, grammar, syllables, etc., even though they produce mental clarity and a calming effect
• How Shantala met and partnered with her teachers
• Why it’s important to find and live in your purpose
• How Shantala’s foundational practices ground her no matter what obstacles come her way
• Hear Shantala’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding practices, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, inspiring people, something people don’t know about her, what she’s reading right now, and what brings her joy in life.

We all must deal with our emotions and experiences, but some people do it better than others. Today’s guest knows what it’s like to struggle, scramble, and “hide in plain sight.”  Fortunately, she emerged from the darkness through deep healing and transformation, and she’s devoted to helping others find their way out by being brave and stepping outside the shadow of their own fear. Join us to learn more!

My guest is Iona Holloway, the founder of Soul Breathwork and the best-selling author of Ghost: Why Perfect Women Shrink. Iona’s work is rooted in her experiences as a highly functioning, invisibly struggling woman and her unconventional recovery from a 20-year battle with an eating disorder and depression. Something she learned on the long road home is: “It’s never too late to remember who you are.” Iona is “tough as old boots but soft like a marshmallow.” Her ZeroFluff breathwork app, intensives, and psychedelic live experiences help you do three things: clear the muck, turn the stone in your chest back into a beating heart, and burn bright, not out, in your life and work. In today’s conversation, we discuss Iona’s first experience with breathwork as a professional athlete and how breathwork can be used to clear up past traumas and learn timeline jumping. Iona also shares her insights into experimentation and content creation and her thoughts about the writing process and self-publishing a book. 

Show Highlights:

• How Iona’s strong sense of independence and entrepreneurship have carried from childhood into her adult years
• Why Iona’s 20s were spent as an athlete and creative suffering from a lot of internal pain
• How Iona wrote a book and built a business around her own healing journey
• What Iona’s birth chart says about her
• How Iona came to realize that she is a “deep well” of appreciation for her soul and her precious life
• Why Iona has centered her brand around breathwork and wisdom
• The importance of “finding a way to stay” through breathwork
• The basics of timeline jumping–and how Iona practices this technique
• Why borrowing inspiration, bravery, and insight from yourself is meaningful 
• How words have power and magic in them
• A fresh look from Iona at experimentation, failure, bravery, and success
• Why the online space is a whole different dimension of reality with its own energy
• How our visibility depends on how safe we feel in being seen in different ways
• How someone can get started with breathwork today
• Hear Iona’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, morning routine, and recommended books
• How Iona navigated the self-publishing process for her book

Welcome to an eye-opening episode guaranteed to challenge your thinking! We are covering a lot of ground regarding the food industry, the human’s place in nature, journalism, psychedelic drugs, and your morning cup of coffee. Join us for a wild ride to learn more.

BTW, if you'd like to join the workshop mentioned at the beginning of the episode, Moving Beyond Your Money Karma with Paula, go here to register.

Michael Pollan is the author of nine nonfiction books written largely about nature and plants. For 30 years, he’s written articles about places where the human and natural worlds intersect. In today’s conversation, Michael shares how he became a writer, how he became interested in the natural world, and his thoughts on activism and journalism. We also discuss the food movement in regard to where we’ve gotten and where we still need to go.

His latest book, This is Your Mind on Plants, is available wherever books are sold. The book looks at three plants that change our consciousness: mescaline, coffee, and opium. Michael tells of his experiences with all three of these plants, which is an extension of his last book, How to Change Your Mind. I highly recommend that you check out Michael’s books!

Show Highlights:

• Michael’s lifelong interest in plants and how they combined with his love for writing
• How Michael tangled with the deeper questions of finding his harmonious place in relationship with plants and nature
• How Michael’s battle with a persistent woodchuck gave him material for essays and articles that later became his first book, Second Nature
• How the questions of human engagement with nature still preoccupy Michael’s thoughts and his work
• How journalists get a sense of what the culture is talking about
• How Michael’s astrology chart shows him as a polite disruptor with creativity, discipline, and the ability to say things and see things
• How Michael wrote The Omnivore’s Dilemma and became the leader of the food movement as our culture exhibited generalized anxiety around food
• How Michael looks at the food-environment questions through the lens of ecology
• How Michael helped people realize there is another way to grow cattle by writing his NY Times cover story, “Power Steer” 
• Why he likes to offer people solutions, hope, and power through understanding the food movement
• Michael’s view of the journalist’s role in changing society in presenting with fairness
• Michael’s take on the food movement, its positive outcomes, and its shortcomings
• What drove Michael to dig deeper from his book, How to Change Your Mind to write This is Your Mind on Plants
• Why coffee is the #1 plant to change consciousness and caffeine is the most widely-used drug around the world
• Why journalists need to have “skin in the game” 
• How psychedelics can be a tool for a shortcut to understanding yourself, realizing your purpose, and resetting priorities
• A metaphorical look at the value of the psychedelic experiences when you’re older and more experienced in life
• The connection between psychedelics and meditation
• Hear Michael’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding habits, his favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, an inspiring person, what he’s reading right now, and what brings him joy.

What is the role of our ancestors in our lives and work? We are exploring this topic today ahead of the Ancestor Fortnight that starts later this month. Honoring our ancestors is an important remedy to put us in flow with divine forces, and this is crucial for spirit-led entrepreneurs. Join us to learn more in today’s episode!

I’m excited to be joined by my friend, mentor, and client, Dr. Robert Svoboda for this discussion. He has joined us for three other episodes, so check out our Resources section for more details on those. We are discussing the importance of honoring our ancestors for creating success and harmony in our lives. Dr. Svoboda explains how to do this easily on your own, why the Ancestor Fortnight is a great time to focus on the ancestors, and what not to do during this time. He explains how he works with his troubled ancestors, along with teaching us about the Indian calendar and its logic. 

Show Highlights:

• Why having a relationship with your ancestors is important in understanding where you come from
• How ancestors influence the patterns in their descendants in both positive and negative ways
• How we can tell the difference between ancestor disturbance and our karma–and how ancestor work can relieve confusion
• How knowing our lineage helps us discover things about ourselves and gives us insights and perspectives
• What Dr. Svoboda has learned about his troubled ancestors and how Paula keeps in touch with her Cherokee heritage
• What our responsibility is in ancestor worship
• Why the Ancestor Fortnight is important
• What it means (practically) to worship your ancestors and how it brings harmony into your family line
• How the Indian calendar factors into ancestor worship
• What to do (and not to do) during the Ancestor Fortnight
• How to start honoring your ancestors today with simple steps

Today I’m discussing money karma, astrological timing, and career success. Our focus on this topic is prompted by a question from a client in my coaching course, Your Magnetic Blueprint. 

Join me for a closer look.

Show Highlights:

• An explanation of planetary periods and why they are powerful
• How the planetary periods change the way your karmas play out
• Why a period of affliction means you should move more slowly and rest more
• The basics of the main, secondary, and tertiary planetary periods
• How changing planetary periods sometimes bring major shifts in priorities, interests, and personalities
• How each planetary period has a flavor and influence by the nature of that planet
• Why you should continue with long-term vision even against the odds of the planetary period 
• My advice: “Move more slowly, use remedies (covered in Ep. 52), and know when the windows are there to take action and when to rest.”
• Why a slower planetary period is an invitation to shift, as I’ve done by:
• Shifting core beliefs and mindset
• Widening my karmic pool by partnering with others to give back
• Creating a Saturn list of tasks I have avoided
• How partnering with others whose karmas complement yours can be helpful
• Why giving back helps the universe see you as a collaborator

We are diving into the topic of karma and politics with my guest, Dr. Robert Svoboda. You’ve heard him on the podcast numerous times, as we have covered many fascinating topics with him in the past, taking advantage of learning from his wisdom and expertise. We are taking a big-picture view of this political moment in time, along with the karma of being involved in a political system and the dilemma of why or why not to vote. You’ll hear our personal thoughts on current political threads as if you’re a fly on the wall in our conversation. This episode is an overview of how to stay sane in a time when Rahu is on the scene, and we’ll explain what that means.

The biggest takeaway from this conversation is that we are in a time of unpredictability and ungrounding energy, and our responsibility is to navigate this season with grace, skill, and overriding respect as helpful spiritual practitioners.

Join us to learn more!

Show Highlights:

• Being in a period of Rahu: What does that mean? What are the basics we need to understand?
• Characteristics of people (including political candidates) who are manifesting Rahu
• Remedies to stay calm, grounded, and steady in the middle of chaos and disruption
• The importance of voting as a civic responsibility–and a karma
• Being part of a political system, whether you like it or not
• The collective and shared karma of the population getting the ruler we “deserve”
• Dr. Svoboda’s historical perspective of communities, governance, and democracy
• Unpacking “the ends” and “the means” relating to cause and effect concerning Israel and Gaza
• Reforming, rebuilding, and restructuring our political system must begin locally. 
• Our responsibility to reduce harm and negativity within the political realm
• “Religion combined with politics creates a huge karmic mess.”
• What we can do to calm our nervous systems and care for ourselves during this time
• Using our knowledge of history to help us make good decisions

My guest today is, like me, a marketing nerd who loves all things marketing, and she’s sharing practical tips to help anyone improve their marketing strategy. Join us to learn more!

In this episode, we discuss what marketing is really about. We discuss ethical marketing practices, what a hook is, and how to uplevel your content. We also got Rachel’s hot take on AI, and you don’t want to miss how she’s using it in her business. We talk about the power of niching and what you should be doing at the beginning and later on as your business grows. 

Show Highlights:

• How Rachel chose holistic practitioners as her niche
• Why she finds the world of marketing so fascinating
• How marketing is all about storytelling

Welcome! This is a time when so many things are happening astrologically, so I invite you to join the Patreon to learn more and get weekly updates. Happening on Wednesday of this week, Jupiter moves into Pisces, so let’s talk about what that means.

Show Highlights:

• How Jupiter has been entangled in the Grand Conjunction with Saturn since January 2020
• Jupiter’s energy and characteristics as the “Great Teacher”
• How Jupiter in Pisces brings the quality of seclusion to seek out information, like through meditation, creative endeavors and channeling ancestors
• How Jupiter in Pisces brings conclusion and relationship to the subconscious, bridging the material and astral world
• For business owners, this brings expanded possibilities and opportunities with creative energies and lightened stress and strain; it is also an excellent time for success in teaching and finding support from the teacher figures in your life
• My advice: “Take note of how the shift affects you, pay attention to your intuition and dreams, and keep a Jupiter journal over the next year of the places in which you feel more space.”

I’m thrilled to bring you another conversation with my mentor and friend, Dr. Robert Svoboda. He is the first Westerner to graduate from a college of Ayurveda and be licensed to practice Ayurveda in India. Both during and after his formal Ayurvedic training, he was tutored in Ayurveda, yoga, Jyotish, tantra, and other forms of classical Indian lore by his mentor, the Aghori Vimalananda. He has written over a dozen books and has served as an adjunct faculty member at The Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Bastyr University in Kenmore, Washington. You can find out more about his work and study online at drsvoboda.com and follow him on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that I helped Dr. Svoboda build and run his online business, have taken many of his courses, and have learned much from him. He has joined the podcast many times for conversations about karma, money, Saturn, ancestors, his personal story, and more. Today’s topic is the element of fire and how fire is useful for us as business owners and living individuals as a form of transformation, clarity, working with our minds, digesting ideas, and being able to produce things. We will discuss why working with fire is important in the Vedic sciences and get Dr. Svoboda’s perspective as an Ayurvedic physician. Join us!

Show Highlights:

• Fire has made us humans what we are today and provided many benefits for us.
• Fire, as one of the five elements, is vital and foremost in the Vedic sciences.
• The concept of Buta Agni in Ayurveda and matter being transformed into energy
• Our bodies as a “processing” organism and the Bhuta Agni as a digestive process in life and business
• Understanding the digestion process, physically, mentally, and spiritually
• Clarity and the decision-making process
• Tips from Dr. Svoboda for better mental digestion: “Be selective. Don’t ‘eat’ too much.”
• Making space for tapping into your dharma as your unique responsibilities in life
• Understanding prajna, “the wisdom of your organism,” in relation to alignment with the natural world
• Intuition: “The small, squeaky voice that’s easy to ignore”
• Applying the principle of “reverse effort” in amplifying your intuition

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Cosmic Business Podcast! Paula is excited to share all about the new concept for the show. While astrology will be a huge focus here, the podcast pivot will help reach the goal to help a million spirit-led entrepreneurs build a cosmic business around their genius so that they can earn wildly well and bankroll the change they want to see in the world.

What is a Cosmic Business? A Cosmic Business is a new paradigm business that believes in collaboration over competition, building a business around your unique genius, aligning to the planet and your intuition, and leading with your values.  It also involves putting your health and the health of the planet first, treating people fairly, and building giving into your business model. If this sounds fabulous to you, you’re in the right place!

Show Highlights:

• The podcast will take you behind the scenes of Paula’s thriving, multi-six-figure business.
• We will focus on strategy and on closing more sales.
• The new format will focus on astrological insights to optimize your business and life.
• Paula will also feature conversations with spirit-led business owners, creatives, and changemakers to inspire you.
• Paula believes that those of us who maintain a spiritual practice and seek to deeply align with our purpose, are the ones who can genuinely make a change in the world.
• Paula will give you examples so you can feel inspired and will also be sharing more of her personal business knowledge around making more sales, marketing authentically, and building community. 
• The content will be very much for spirit-led business owners who are looking to create a new paradigm of value-based business.
