I couldn't resist asking Ainslie a whole host of questions regarding our souls, romantic soulmates, our spirit guides, and so much more. Plus, we get into the discussion of what it means to truly be an empath and why he believes there is an epidemic between the empaths and the narcissists. Let's just say that this content is just for the soul âš -- Figure Out Your Soul Type!

What is your soul's purpose? What are you meant to be doing with your life? Why are you being called into certain career paths? Why do you feel drawn to helping other people?
Ainslie MacLeod is a past-life psychic who has uncovered these exact burning questions. He explains that in order to know where we're going in life, we have to understand where we've been. Everything about where we've been can explain why those of us feel 'called' into our helping profession. Whether you're in the non-profit world, a doctor, a therapist, a social worker, or some other form of helper - it's not a coincidence. Your soul is on the path it is supposed to be and you're working towards fulfilling your soul's purpose. If you have ever identified as an "old soul", have ever believed that there is more to this world than meets the eye, and have felt your intuition pulling you into a new direction, than this conversation will highly resonate with you! This is one of the most impactful episodes yet, because it should connect with you on a soul level - so queue it up and enjoy!

Have you been wondering to yourself, "am I in the right city for my next big move?" Whether that's for your career, starting a business, looking for a new romantic partnership, or just looking for a fresh start it can be overwhelming with where to start.
I was so fortunate to sit down with Jessica Palm and Tim Cowden from The Kansas City Area Development Council to talk about the unique idea that some cities are better than others for your entrepreneurial goals. From cost of living, to tax implications, to start up resources, and more, it can be an interesting debate. Large companies move cities and open new branches for a variety of reasons, but what would be the benefit of starting your new business somewhere new?
It's an interesting conversation, and one that will leave you wondering if a move (particularly among our Midwestern friends) is right for you!

Ah, success. A word we all tend to have a love-hate relationship with.
And when youâre on the entrepreneurial journey, it can be even more difficult to define and work towards. Weâve known for years that success and money arenât a perfect correlation, because money isnât the only thing we should be striving for in life. (Itâs super important) but it doesnât grasp the full range of human emotions that we need, crave, and desire.
Iâve heard a thousand definitions for success over the years, and today, I hope to offer you a different perspective by sharing mine.

A question about the non-profit sector that gets me really fired up?
âHow much of my donation goes to the mission vs. overhead?â

Tune in to figure out my take on the subject and what questions I think we should be asking non-profits instead!

Have you ever thought to evaluate how well your organization was doing in terms of...health? If a non-profit was a body, how is each area really doing? And how does that translate to the outside world?
Itâs an interesting, but incredibly useful perspective, that Jess Cooper developed after her years in non-profit management. She knew there had to be a different way to evaluate the âhealth-beatâ of an organization in order to maximize how theyâre giving back and how the people within the organization are feeling day-in and day-out.
Tune into this intriguing conversation about how to do your next high-level evaluation, insight on how to deal with toxic co-workers, leadership changes, and more! And make sure to follow Jess on Instagram at: @jesscooperconsulting!

Itâs no secret that the marketing and advertising space becomes more crowded by the second. Everything in our lives can feel like an ad is attached to it, or like our phones are listening to us (targeting the next brand of vacuum cleaner we just discussed in the creepiest way, right?)

There are a thousand ways to try and combat this and push through the noise, but non-profits often need to take a hard look at their tone and messaging. Racheli drops some controversial (and necessary!) truth bombs about non-profit marketing and how you can correct it to cultivate your most engaged audience yet!
