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 765 The Final Shedding Required for the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life

If you have been feeling restless, emotionally raw, impatient with your old patterns, or like your current life suddenly feels too small, you are not imagining it.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

Instead of surface-level motivation or spiritual bypassing, this conversation focuses on honest self-reflection, releasing emotional attachments, confronting resistance, and taking decisive action so you can move into your next level with clarity and momentum.

EP 764 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Boundaries) How to Set Healthy Boundaries Without Guilt in 2026

This episode of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol is all about boundaries.

Not the cold, harsh, push-people-away kind.
But the kind that protect your energy, your peace, and your future.

Most high achievers think burnout comes from working too hard. The truth is much simpler: burnout comes from weak boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, it’s not because you care too much or work too much. It’s because you’ve been saying yes to things that should have been a no.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, fear, or anxiety — and how to finally stop overgiving to the point of losing yourself.

EP 763 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Being) How to Feel Like Yourself Again and Become Who You’re Meant to Be in 2026

So many high achievers spend years trying to fix their life when what really needs to shift is their identity. If 2025 left you exhausted, disconnected, or wondering where the real version of you went, this conversation will feel like a homecoming.

True change in 2026 doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from becoming someone new on the inside first.

In this episode, we go beyond surface level self-improvement and get into the emotional, psychological, and energetic work of remembering who you actually are and deciding who you want to be next.
