This is the very first episode, the episode of Inception and I am so excited to be here with you and be your host.An introduction is in order so you know who I am and why you should tune into this podcast.I had a client the other day, call me baking soda. I thought nothing of it except for maybe that she had lost her mind and I needed to refer her to a therapist instead of working with me as her coach. I had never heard that expression before and I sort of brushed it off as though it wasn't important and I let it be. Then it showed up for me again. Somebody else called me baking soda. Completely independent of this person of this client. They don't know each other. They had not had conversations with each other. This time, I said, what do you mean by that? This is the second time someone's called me baking soda.And she said, “you're an activator.” And I thought, jeez. That's one of the greatest compliments I've ever been given, because it's true, that is what I do, I activate people. I activate, what is lying dormant in them!I help women RISE into their next level. With all of the ingredients, they already have inside of them.This is a podcast about the new era of business, spirituality, soul-led entrepreneurship. Energetics, money. Relationships, love.

I've experienced my fair share of rough drafts both in my business literally and in my life figuratively and that's really what this podcast is about.
