In the latest episode of the "Her Empire Builder Show," I had the privilege of speaking with the incredible Brigit Esselmont, who transitioned from a passion for tarot reading to building a multi-million dollar business. Her journey is filled with valuable insights for entrepreneurs at any stage. 🎧 Tune in for an enriching conversation about blending intuition with entrepreneurship, managing growth, and redefining success. Here are 3 key takeaways that could change the way you approach your business: Intuitive Decision-Making: Brigit emphasizes the importance of aligning business goals with personal values and using intuition over external metrics to make critical decisions. True success is about personal alignment, not just societal expectations. Managing Growth and Teams: Building a business doesn't mean expanding for expansion's sake. Brigit's experience of reducing her team from 30 to 15 members to maintain effectiveness and align with her vision underlines the importance of sustainable growth. Redefining Success: Traditional metrics like revenue aren't the be-all and end-all. For Brigit, profit and personal satisfaction hold more weight. Tina Tower also shares her journey of seeking genuine contentment over external validation, opting for a simpler lifestyle that enables personal happiness and freedom. If you're looking for inspirational and practical advice on entrepreneurship, teamwork, and personal growth, this episode is a must-listen. 🎙️✨ 📚 Be sure to check out Brigit's new book, "Intuitive Manifestation," for deeper insights on setting aligned goals and becoming your future self.

This is a bit more of a deeper personal episode from me. We recently sold our dream home because, well we got a new dream!

All about examining what we really want from life, why we do what we do, how much is enough - you know, the small stuff 😜 I don't have to grind. I don't have to hustle. I don't have to sacrifice my health, my happiness daily, my relationships, my friendships, my time with my kids. I don't have to sacrifice that. I can be happy with what I've got and I can have this and that. And that's what I want to be able to have.

Just wrapped up an incredible session on the Her Empire Builder Show with Sharon Collon. Sharon is a credentialed award winning ADHD coach & consultant who is passionate about helping people with ADHD have functional and fun lives. Sharon uses her lived experience, 15 years of research and formal training at ADDCA to help and support those living with ADHD. When her first son was diagnosed with ADHD she felt incredibly alone. There was information about how to help the child, but there was nothing on how to support the whole family. The journey of raising her beautiful boys with ADHD was isolating and exhausting. The stress severely affected her health. She realised that she was only surviving each day and things had to change. She began researching ADHD and developing systems to work with the ADHD brain. She realised that she could change the environment around her children to work with their strengths. She loves anything that makes life with ADHD easier! Sharon's company, The Functional Family, has assisted over 35,000 families and individuals with ADHD. She has created online support groups where parents can ask questions, connect and support each other. She offers one on one coaching, parent mentoring, a blog, podcast, a membership and a 6 week online program. She wants to help those with ADHD get back their time and energy, but most importantly create space for the good stuff!
