  • I’m sharing a big shift in my business philosophy—one I never saw coming. If you’ve been around for a while, you know I used to avoid funnels like the plague. They felt salesy, rigid, and completely out of alignment with my more soul-powered approach. But today, I’m here to explain why I’ve done a complete 180 and how embracing a single, clear pathway has transformed my business.

    Join me as I dive into:

    Why I resisted funnels for so long and the misconceptions that held me backThe moment I realized a funnel could help me simplify, scale, and create a more supportive customer journey How I built an aligned, creative, and soulful funnel that feels genuine rather than sales-drivenThe powerful benefits of focusing on one main offer and pathway for both myself and my clients

    Whether you’re hesitant about funnels or looking for ways to simplify and grow sustainably, this episode will give you fresh insights and practical tips to consider. Plus, I’ll share a few reflections on why staying open to new ideas—especially the ones we resist—can be the key to more ease, clarity, and expansion in your business.

    And, as a special gift, I want to offer you free access to one of my most popular programs, “Getting Out of Your Own Way” (an IFS Daily Parts Meditation Kit to help you cultivate inner wholeness, harmony, and Self-Leadership at the start of each day).

  • As women entrepreneurs, we’re often brilliant at visioning—mapping out our dreams with precision and clarity. Yet, when it comes to implementation, we get stuck. Why? Because perfectionism and procrastination step in, fueled by fear of failure, overwhelm, or judgment.

    In this episode, I’ll unpack how these high standards, while valuable, can also hold us back from fully showing up. We’ll explore the power of taking messy action and why this approach is the antidote to perfectionism. If you’ve been delaying a big project—whether it’s writing a book, launching a new offer, or building a website—this is for you. Let’s explore why messy action is still action, and how it can lead you to the breakthroughs you’ve been waiting for.

    We’ll explore how you can feel safer being messy in my upcoming, free workshop: The Burnout Cure. Save your seat at programs-saraavantstover.com/workshop.

  • In this episode, we dive deep into the unique challenges that highly sensitive, spiritually-attuned women face in the entrepreneurial world. Graced with finely tuned nervous systems, we often feel overwhelmed by the fast pace, constant stimulation, and patriarchal demands of productivity at all costs. Despite having a wealth of training, degrees, and sacred gifts to offer, we encounter friction (inner and outer) when trying to share our work with the world.

    I explore how burnout—an issue affecting 42% of female entrepreneurs—can persist even with all the right self-care practices in place. We’ll talk about why traditional self-care often falls short and how something deeper is needed for true transformation. I'll share how we can heal burnout from the inside out, using a fresh approach rooted in feminine wisdom, collective collaboration, and deeper self-care.

    Join me as we examine what’s really happening beneath the surface and discuss how we can forge a more sustainable, soul-aligned path forward. If you're ready to break free from burnout and find a new way of working, this episode is for you.

  • As I’ve taken this past month off and am slowly returning to the public realm later this week, I wanted to share a recent conversation with a fellow leader in the field of mindful and spiritual leadership. Rob Dube is a speaker, author, mindfulness expert, and co-founder of one of Forbes’ top 25 small companies.

    Together, Rob and I explore the emerging archetype of the “spiritual entrepreneur” as well as:

    Ways I’ve used different embodiment practices to support me to “get out of my mind” throughout my lifeWho my key mentors are and what I’ve learned from them My morning routine and how it resets me for the day ahead The books I turn to learn about prosperity and abundanceHow I incorporate Internal Family Systems into my work How I’ve transformed (and redefined) being an “overachiever” How building a business can be a spiritual practice How I teach women entrepreneurs to manage money

    Entrepreneurship is a spiritual practice that regularly requires us to tune into that "still small voice” inside. Listen in to explore ways to break free of the barriers that keep you disconnected from this, so you can build a business that serves the world and reflects your innate potential.

    And, as a special gift, I want to offer you free access to one of my most popular programs, “Getting Out of Your Own Way” (an IFS Daily Parts Meditation Kit to help you cultivate inner wholeness, harmony, and Self-Leadership at the start of each day).

  • While I’m taking time off this month, I wanted to share a very intimate conversation I had this past spring about grief and heartbreak with Sarah Tacy, a mind/body trainer and nervous system expert, on her podcast “Threshold Moments.”

    Our dialogue felt less like an interview and more like a supportive, truth-telling session with a close friend. We went to such deep places and I was so moved by our time together, that I wanted to share this with my audience, too.

    Together, Sarah and I explore:

    How I learned to trust myself and connect with my deep truth after a significant betrayalAn exploration of a new archetype for women in mid-adulthood, beyond those of “Mother” and “Queen”The power of processing grief through community instead of on our ownTender sharings of ways that we both healed after complicated abortions  How moving through dark times can lead to profound personal growth Why it’s important to accept the anger that comes with heartbreak What’s waiting for us on the other side of heartbreak, loss, and grief

    May this be of benefit to you and whatever thresholds of grief and heartbreak– past and present, little and large– you’re facing.
