What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am a psychic medium, author, and mentor that teaches business owners how to use their intuitive gifts in their businesses. We help entrepreneurs courageously own their messages, align with their mission, and become more visible in their field. Thousands of people around the globe have learned to engage their imagination, expand their creativity and amplify their reach, affecting momentous change for their clients.

Tell us about yourself

Being able to see people light up when they recognize the dreams in their hearts are really there for them to experience in life is thrilling. I teach people to think out of the box, then jump out of that box and live a life that excites them. I felt trapped in my existence. Throughout my early years, there was a great deal of conflict, sadness, and trauma, but through it all, I always felt that there had to be something more awaiting me. In my heart of hearts, I knew I was meant to leave a mark on this world and not live a small life. Like most people, I ignored my truth and followed a career path that didn't resonate with me. After a successful Emmy Award-winning career in the entertainment industry with MTV and NBC Olympics, I shifted my focus to sharing my natural gifts and helping others discover their own intuitive abilities. As a psychic medium, healer, teacher, author, and speaker, I deliver the training and guidance needed to succeed, thrive, and prosper. I've been told I have an unmatched capacity to ignite deep, soul-level transformation for my clients around the world. I teach spirituality in a way that leads to a practical, meaningful, and joyous life—no unicorns, flying carpets, or impossible routines required. I simplify the path to living a life of peace, ease, and alignment, making true fulfillment easy and achievable for all. And that makes my heart sing.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is simple. It's seeing the light in my student's eyes not only turn on but stay on. When they experience who they are truly capable of being, they trust it and believe it. Watch out, world, because this beautiful change they are going through has a rippling effect and will alter the consciousness of so many people in this world. This is exciting for me. To see their dreams come alive. To experience them not only dream it but believe it and be it. They finally see themselves in their fullness, and the people around them see it too. Then, I've done my job.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Being a business owner definitely has its difficulties. More people need to be honest about their experiences of running their own businesses. You will have moments where you may question a product you put out. Or a launch may fail, but it may just need to be tweaked, not thrown out. And finding a team to support your business is super important. When you have one person who isn't fit, it can create chaos in your business. When these moments happen, step away, go for a walk, and tap into your inner guidance. Remember why you are doing it, and know that this experience is teaching you something amazing that is going to make you even better at what you do.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

My three tips for starting your own business:

Keep it simple in the beginning. You don't need the bells and whistles. Find one product that works, rinse, repeat, and scale.
Take a productivity course if you struggle with putting time aside and achieving goals.
Trust your intuition above all else.
