I sit down with sales mentor Jane Garee to unpack what selling really is (and what it's not). Spoiler: it's not about pushing, convincing, or "selling yourself." It's about facilitating powerful conversations that change lives—including your own. Inside this episode, we cover: ✨ Why selling is a noble act of service—not manipulation ✨ How to move away from "selling yourself" into offering true transformation ✨ Why rejection isn't personal (and how to detach your worth from a yes or no) ✨ The link between learning sales and creating a business that funds your freedom ✨ How to integrate travel, business, and sales so they actually work together This conversation isn't about sleazy scripts or outdated formulas. It's about redefining sales as the life skill that allows you to design a business—and a lifestyle—on your own terms.

In this episode of Your Business Untethered, we go deep with inner child coach and fellow nomad Dr. Kai on the exact practices that heal the patterns running your life (and your business) from the shadows. This isn't fluffy—it's the work that turns chaos into clarity, feast-or-famine into flow, and people-pleasing into purposeful leadership. Forget the cookie-cutter strategies—real freedom entrepreneurship asks you to defy conditioning, define your values, and structure your business around who you truly are. Inside this episode, we cover: ✨ Kai's 4-step "butterfly" method: boundaries, mindfulness, loving-kindness (metta), and knowing your needs/values ✨ The courage to "look under the bed" (the boogeyman metaphor) and face what you've been avoiding ✨ Two client case studies: a physician who finally said no (and rebuilt trust at work) and an architect who negotiated her dream role on a hospital project ✨ Why inner work is the secret business strategy (hello, sales triggers, money stories, and consistent clients) ✨ Slowmad > burnout: why settling in one place can scale both your impact and your income This isn't just another strategy talk—it's a call to unlearn what you were taught about success and build a business that serves you, not the other way around.

What if the key to scaling your business wasn't more hustle, more content, or more offers—but deeper healing, richer self-worth, and a community-led approach that aligns with your freedom? In this episode of Your Business: Untethered, I'm joined by Grace for a conversation on building a business that grows with ease, sustainability, and soul.

I've brought him on to talk about the fears, hurdles, and mindset shifts we go through as new entrepreneurs:  How do you sell something you deeply believe in… without slipping back into people-pleasing, perfectionism, or playing small? We're unpacking the nervous-system truths behind selling — especially when you're at the beginning of your business or evolving into a more aligned offer. This episode isn't about sleazy strategy or manipulating psychology to get the sale. It's about understanding the emotional charge around selling, healing your relationship to visibility, and moving from "I have to sell" to "I can't wait to share this." If you've ever felt yourself freeze, fawn, or overthink when launching something new (even as big as an entire business) — this conversation is your reset button. Inside this episode, we cover: ✨ The #1 reason selling feels scary (and it's not strategy) ✨ What your nervous system is trying to protect you from — and how to work with it ✨ The power of launching with a "real-time" audience, even when your offer is new ✨ Why making aligned money requires simplifying, not over-planning ✨ How to stop proving and start leading — even before you feel "ready" As always with Badr, we go way deep: this is a reckoning with everything you were taught about being too much, too ambitious, or too visible. Because when you build your business on freedom, service, and self-trust — selling becomes sacred.

Dina sits down with Jessica to unpack what it really means to build a business rooted in authenticity, emotional connection, and the freedom to be fully you.

What does it really take to scale your business—without abandoning your mission, values, or actual freedom? In this episode of Your Business: Untethered, I sit down with seasoned entrepreneur and business strategist Lisza Crisalle to explore the human side of scaling. Forget overnight success stories and growth hacks—this conversation is a deep dive into the mindset shifts, foundational structure, and personal healing required to grow a business that actually sustains you. Together, we unravel the phases of entrepreneurship—from chaotic early client work to automation and systems that protect your energy. We talk about money as an amplifier, AI as a tool (not a shortcut), and why sales is still about human connection.

Ever felt like the business you built to set you free has somehow become the thing keeping you stuck? In this episode, I'm diving headfirst into the messy middle of entrepreneurship—the part where your business starts to feel more like a cage than a gateway to freedom. I peel back the curtain on my own journey from burnout and enmeshment to liberation, revealing what it actually takes to unchain yourself from business traps and reclaim your freedom. This isn't about tweaking your offer or posting more reels—it's about doing the deeper work to untangle your purpose from your patterns...and then understanding the strategic levers you need to implement to expand your impact, turn your systems into a sales machine, and grow your client-base and income without spending even more time on our business. Scaling should reduce your working hours. Inside this episode, I cover: ✨ What it means to feel trapped by your own business (and how to spot the signs) ✨ Why inner healing is non-negotiable for true entrepreneurial freedom ✨ How to revisit your business purpose and realign with your original why - and why this matters for your content, offers, and client journey. ✨ The keys to diversifying your offers without diluting your mission ✨ Mapping your client journey to create more ease, flow, and impact (on your community and bottom line.) ✨ The exact shifts to create a business that supports your life—not sabotages it This isn't strategy for strategy's sake—it's a call to defy the frameworks that aren't working, remember who you are, and design a business that's rooted in your freedom, purpose, and power. Take THE UNCHAINED ENTREPRENEUR Masterclass Your business should run while you sleep, travel, or take a damn break. If the second you step away, your income stops, it's time to change that.
