This week, we’re getting more in tune with ourselves and the universe with author Alessandra Veronesi. Alessandra shares her personal journey of leaving her corporate job to pursue her passion for writing and helping others through spiritual guidance.
A major catalyst for her was experiencing a pivotal moment during the pandemic lockdowns that helped her connect more deeply with herself through meditation. This eventually led her to write her first book, "A New Banana," which focuses on elevating relationships, especially with yourself.
Alessandra provides fascinating insights into recognizing signs and synchronicities as messages from the universe, using techniques like pendulums and muscle testing. She reframes scarcity mindsets into an understanding of the universe's abundance, and offers powerful perspectives on valuing yourself enough to invest in your growth and manifestation abilities.
For those struggling to stay centered amidst life's distractions, Alessandra teaches simple yet profound grounding exercises perfect for doing at your office desk. From energy-shielding visualizations to breath work routines, her techniques allow you to quickly realign with your authentic self.
This episode will equip you with eye-opening concepts and tools for living an intuitive, purposeful, and joyful life.
Key Topics:
Helping people find alignment through reflection and self-discernment Moving from a 15 years of corporate to authorship The profound impact of meditation during the pandemic lockdowns Finding inspiration for her book in her 72 meditations Learning to become a self-starter after leaving corporate Discerning between coincidences and signs What is energy work and what do energy healers do?

If you’ve never heard of sketch noting, today’s your lucky day! I’m chatting with Ashton Rodenhiser about the niche she’s carved out for herself from a job in facilitating corporate meetings, to starting her own business showing people a new way to jot down their thoughts and notes.

Instead of just simply writing down notes from a meeting, podcast, webinar, or even in your personal journaling, have you ever considered drawing them?

Join us to learn more about this fascinating profession and how Ashton broke into the industry by embracing entrepreneurship and marrying it with her creative spirit.
Key Topics:

Using drawing to help ourselves think and gain mental clarity Redefining what “drawing” means The scientific background of why doodling and sketching while learning helps us Transitioning from corporate facilitator to entrepreneur Changing her mentality around “the starving artist” Finding a niche in tech Overcoming fears while starting a business Going from desperate to confident How motherhood has contributed to her success as a business ownerConnect with Ashton online:

This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Melissa Gray, an attorney whose passion is guiding entrepreneurs through the legal side of building a business.
Melissa walks us through her career journey — from serving as general counsel at a billion-dollar company to starting her own law firm. Her firm is dedicated to educating entrepreneurs and getting them set up properly with things like contracts, trademarks, and business formations from the get-go.
One piece of advice Melissa emphasized? Don't just operate on handshake deals with partners or clients. She’s seen too many entrepreneurs come to her after issues arise because they didn't have proper documentation in place. Getting the right agreements drafted upfront can save you major headaches down the road.
As a mom of three young kids, Melissa also shares her experience with entrepreneurship with a family. She emphasizes that to be successful, you need to be willing to ask for help, whether that's hiring someone or leaning on family and friends to give you a helping hand if possible.
Melissa brings a wealth of knowledge not just on the legal nuances entrepreneurs should know, but also the importance of taking a proactive approach and finding balance as a parent.
Key Topics:
Making the decision to go to law school Finding a career that balances the left and right brain What happens after law school? What is the bar? Lifting the curtain in independently running your own law firm Bridging the gap between DIY and large law firms The biggest challenges Melissa helps her clients face Learning to lean on your network when starting a business Delegating what you don’t have time for as a parent Work hard while your kids are young to free up your time later The highs and lows of parenthood

Everyone loves a good personality test. Maybe you used to scour Buzzfeed for new quizzes to learn what your favorite cheese says about you or perhaps took an online IQ test one too many times, there’s a quiz out there for everyone wanting to learn more about themselves.
One of the most popular in the mix is Myers-Briggs, or MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). This test has been around for a while now, with many people retaking it over the years to see how their personality types have changed (if at all).
But one major advantage to this particular personality test is that it can teach us a lot about our passions, goals, and even careers. Maybe you’re an ISFJ who is more introverted, but also warm and kindhearted with a desire to help others. This says a lot about the careers you not only gravitate to, but about the ones you could potentially pursue for ultimate happiness.
So this week, we’re doing a little deep dive into the Myers-Briggs world to see what types of careers your personality type could unlock for you.
