If you’ve been sitting on the fifth Zoom meeting of the day, finding yourself drifting off to la-la land – I totally get it. I spent the greater part of twenty years working in the corporate world. Some of those experiences were amazing and others were absolutely soul-sucking.

At some point, it became clear I needed to make an exit plan before my inner fire snuffed out completely. I began teaching free workshops in my home because I loved connecting with other sensitive people. As many of them came up after class to seek my advice, it became clear this was my new calling. I completed training to become a Transformational Presence Coach, launched my business, served four paid clients and made $476 my first year. Woo hoo, I was doing it!

Over time, what began as a weekend hobby expanded to coaching in the evenings, then into group programs.

Yet, the contrast was stark between who I got to be at my ‘day job’ and how I was unfolding spiritually through my soul work.

I hear you thinking – it took three years to have a full-time business? Hmm, I was hoping it would grow quicker…

I don’t share to disappoint or discourage you. I just wish when I first started, that someone had told me what to expect. There were times when I was frustrated, thinking I wasn’t succeeding, when actually, I was right on track.

For most businesses, it takes at least three years to understand who you’re serving, find your voice, gain momentum and visibility, attract an audience of followers, beta-test several ideas and structure your offerings (and your time) to make a profit.

The first year of business is vitally important. You have the opportunity to set the foundations for everything that comes after.

Creating a sustainable business is like sculpting a human figure from a piece of stone. You begin with a large block, roughly the size and shape of the finished product. Maybe you sketch a few guidelines before you begin chipping away with a hammer and broad chisel.

In some areas you can chisel deep, while others take a finer touch. After a while, you begin to see the overall position of the body, but the details are still elusive. Every day, you come into your workshop, turn on inspiring music and continue to coax life from an inanimate object.

Why a Wisdom Circle?

A wisdom circle is a sacred container we create together – where everyone is honored for who you are and what you bring. Your years of life experience, how we are all beginners in some areas, have mastery in others and most importantly, a shared commitment to a life of meaning, purpose and impact.

As we gather together virtually, our deep dive conversations bring forward a wealth of innovative ideas, support, laughter, clarity and aha moments. This is a place where you can get real about your entrepreneurial frustrations and celebrate every success.

Not only will I be sharing everything I’ve learned over the past eight years of shifting from serving as a volunteer, to officially launching, then changing my business focus mid-stream and more recently being featured on global platforms. Consider this your business’s incubator.

We meet together as a cohort for a year-long journey, to take your spark of an idea and bring it into form. By the end, you will understand your niche, what your ideal clients want and need and develop foundations for your brand. Know how and where to tell your story and serve clients with the spiritual, holistic, creative and wellness modalities you love.

Like a tree that puts down strong roots and a straight trunk to support a growing canopy, From the Ground Up is about bridging the grounded, Earthly realm (concrete how-to’s of running a business) with the expansive, Spiritual realm (your soul mission, personal and leadership growth).

Most business masterminds focus solely on what to do and how to do it. Of course, these tools are super important, so I’m including a healthy serving of practical skills and knowledge.

But I’ve learned you can have a good grasp of business basics and still feel self-doubt, nervous about being visible online, have a distaste of marketing and some serious energy blocks around charging for your services. This program attends to both aspects of your entrepreneurial journey.

Your heart and mind.

Your inner feminine (being) and outer masculine (doing).

How to thrive while also serving.

Plus, through the richness of our diverse group interactions and wisdom each participant brings, unexpected goodness will be discovered and co-created. We will practice healthy reciprocity, build confidence in a safe forum and lift you up as meaning, connection and abundance flows into your life.
