How do you use intuition when making changes in your life, like decluttering or shifting daily routines?
Listening to your intuition unlocks the next right step, even if it seems random, like suddenly deciding to get rid of your couch or declutter after the holidays. The process is about acting swiftly on those inner nudges, which often reflect deeper changes happening inside you. When you follow through, you'll notice how the external shifts—whether creating space at home or changing habits—mirror your own inner growth and desires.
Why are you sleeping on the floor now?
I got rid of my bed three months ago because ever since my first pregnancy eight years ago, I couldn't lay down flat on my back. It felt like my body was in two broken pieces—my top half and bottom half were just floating next to each other instead of locked together. I stumbled across videos on Youtube about sleeping on the floor. The comments were incredible—everyone talked about how it helped their sleep, posture, and back pain.
After sleeping on the floor for just two or three days, my back pain went away. Now I can move my body in ways I couldn't before.
Plus, now I have so much more space! There's not a huge bed taking up my entire room. Once I got rid of the bed, it really changed things energetically. I felt a lot more energy. Things could flow around more. I felt more aligned, grounded and productive.
Why does resting and self-care matter so much when you're trying to grow your business or help others?
There is a correlation between resting and revenue. The more I have rested, the better I have been with business and making money, investing money, growing money, being smarter with money.
I used to work really hard to “help other people”, but it was a form of self abandonment. Until I came back home to myself and took care of myself, things didn't get better.
The biggest contribution I can give to others is to heal myself. If I had a ceiling on how much I was allowing myself to take care of me, then no matter how much I try to pour into the community, I'm putting a ceiling on all of you. I'm projecting my ceiling onto you.
How can you ensure your business supports your life, instead of overwhelming it?
Let the system be “the good husband” (a concept I’m learning from Kelly Brogan) I already created “the man”—the systems, the workflows—so I can be the woman. I can live in the feminine side of my business - creation, expression, fun, flow.
This started two years ago when I realized I needed to stop being "a girl who can work hard and make money" and become "a woman who can work less and make the money work hard." I spent two years figuring out how to line that up for myself.
The boundary I’m trying out for myself right now is to only do one business task a day (outside of daily admin), and it can't take more than 60 minutes. Not "well, I'm going to try to work less." That's too vague.
When I do my weekly planning, I look at all my tasks and move things around because I can only have one a day. It's such a beautiful boundary to have with myself.
What's the value in sharing your voice through mediums like a podcast or YouTube, even if you feel hesitant?
Sharing your voice is as much about personal healing as it is about building a platform. Start with the intention of creating for yourself and healing your relationship with your own voice, rather than worrying about serving an audience.
That's why I started my podcast. It wasn't to serve an audience. It wasn't to help people. It was: I need to heal my relationship with my voice, and that is why I'm starting a podcast.
Even today, when I sit down and record something, it's not because I need to get my message out there or help the world or save other people. It's me and my inner child having the permission to have an opinion, speak it out loud, and press publish. And then, boom—that does help other people. That does serve other people. But I'm not worried about them. It's just me and my inner child.
That's the energetic shift.
What are actionable ways to bring intention and self-care into daily life?
Integrate your intentions—like your word of the year—across different areas, from business to self-care, home, and relationships. Slow down. Create beautiful moments just for yourself. Design routines that nurture you. Whether it's preparing a meaningful breakfast, lighting a candle for your skincare routine, or making your own flaxseed hair gel, little actions add up to life-changing habits.
Key Takeaways
Creating an abundant, joyful life starts from within. Trust your intuition, set clear boundaries, and build systems to support you. Honor your own needs and self-care first—only then can you truly make a difference for others. Don't be afraid to show up and share your voice. Your personal growth and courage ripple outward, inspiring those around you.
