Boundaries in Business: What to do When People Mess with You EP457

Not everyone has millions like you (she wrote)

All you do is talk about money…what about all people who can’t afford to pay you? Do you ever care about them?!! (this part she wrote was in ALL CAPS)

When you continue to grow in your business, and your public presence has expanded to millions of people worldwide like my podcast and brand have, you are going to trigger people. 

It’s impossible to help millions of people without upsetting 1-2% of them. 

If you haven’t experienced that yet in your business or personal brand, you will, or you are playing it so safe to avoid this kind of judgment and nasty human behavior (which is also why your business isn’t growing faster). 

My long-time Coordinator Nancy is in charge of my emails, 99% of the ones we get are beautiful, abundant, loving, and filled with heart-breaking incredible stories of survival. Than 1% of the emails and DM’s are filled with people’s self-hate, self-judgment, and anger about their own lives projected onto me and sometimes my team.

I read them all with the same energy. Compassion. 

You will NEVER be able please everyone in business or in your personal life, if you keep trying to, you will lose yourself (I know this from experience). 

I know when I trigger someone it’s actually a good thing, that means my message is getting to them. For every one person I may trigger, there are 99 who it woke up, who it empowered, who it validated, and who it changed. 

None of us no matter how experienced a coach, a counselor, a doctor, or a healer will be able to help someone who is DEAD SET on it not working. 

Some people will buy the business program, hire the nutritionist, sign up for an inner child healing retreat, wanting the desired outcome, but are in complete and total resistance to making it work.

In fact, all they can focus on is how it isn’t working fast enough, what they aren’t receiving from you, and how they already “know all of these things” you’re teaching them. These people are stuck in self-inflected purgatory (they have zero awareness of it). 

Their GIANT EGO is running the show, and they may have even signed up to work with you to further prove that “nothing works out for them,” to further prove that what you say isn’t possible!!! This way, they don’t have to make scary internal and external changes. Plus, what a great way to deflect from their own demons than to blame someone or something else. 

I help my clients establish business boundaries to protect and honor their energy, their intellectual property, and their money from the 1% of toxic people who would love to see them fail, so they can feel better about their own miserable lives. 

Tune in to hear how I handle these people.

Ep 780 $10K Months in 2026: 3 Decisions to Make it Happen

If you’ve been trying to make consistent $10K months online but your income still feels inconsistent, unpredictable, or harder than it should be… this episode will change how you approach your online business.

Because there has never been a better time to make money online.
With billions of people consuming content daily and most buyers discovering services through social media, content marketing, and online platforms, the opportunity to attract clients, grow an audience, and generate consistent monthly income is already built in.

So if you’re not hitting consistent $5K, $10K, or multi-5-figure months yet, it’s not because you need more information, more courses, or a more complicated business strategy.

It comes down to a few key decisions most entrepreneurs avoid—and the lack of consistent execution behind them.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 decisions that separate inconsistent income from predictable $10K months, and how to apply them to your content, offers, and sales process so you can start making money online more consistently.

Ep 778 The Emotional Side of Launching No One Talks About (The Truth about Selling Your Offers!)

Launching an online program can look exciting from the outside. The announcements, the social media posts, the excitement of welcoming new clients into your world. But behind the scenes, there is an emotional side of entrepreneurship that almost no one talks about.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it actually feels like to launch and sell your offers online while you are in the middle of doing it. Because the truth is that building an online business and promoting your work can bring up far more than just marketing strategy. It can bring up vulnerability, pressure, self-doubt, and the quiet mental stories entrepreneurs create when they are putting something meaningful out into the world.

If you are launching a course, coaching program, membership, or digital product, you have likely felt some version of this. The emotional rollercoaster that happens while you are selling your offer online. The moment where you wonder if you explained it clearly enough. The moment where you check the numbers and your brain starts creating stories about what it means.
