Letting It Be Easy: Ambition, Motherhood & Flow with Susanne Eifler

In this deeply grounding and expansive conversation, Alicia sits down with Susanne Eifler—former international business owner turned intuitive coach—to explore what it really looks like to build a life and career that supports you, not the other way around. After building and leading a successful international company for 27 years, Susanne shares how she approached business and motherhood differently from the very beginning. When she became a mother in 2001, she made a clear and intentional decision: her life would come first and her business would be designed to support it. From that point on, she set non-negotiable boundaries—including keeping Fridays completely off—and built a company that allowed her to be present for her family without sacrificing her ambition. Together, Alicia and Susanne unpack the quiet tension so many ambitious moms feel—the pull toward something more, even when life looks successful on paper—and what it looks like to follow that pull with trust instead of force. This conversation explores: What it looks like to design your business around your life from the start Why success can still feel misaligned—and how to navigate that  The power of self-trust, even when you don’t have the full plan  Letting go of timelines, expectations, and rigid outcomes  Simple ways to reconnect with your inner voice through meditation and journaling  The difference between forcing results and allowing them to unfold  If you’ve been feeling the pull toward something more—but can’t quite see the full path yet—this episode will feel like a deep exhale and a gentle reminder: You don’t need to burn your life down. You need to come back home to yourself.
