EP 02: I Built a Business *That Felt Like Work*- Big Mistake

STRIPPED · 2025-03-23

I built a business that looked good on paper. I was making money, working with great clients & doing something I was good at… but it never TRULY lit me up or felt sustainable in the long-run. And ignoring that? Big mistake.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

Why forcing what’s “practical” or "logical" over what brings you JOY will burn you outThe wake-up call that made me rethink everythingWhat I’m shifting to now (it's not THAT big of an adjustment, but made a HUGE difference) & why it matters

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a career, business or life that technically “works”, but secretly drains you—this one’s for you. Let’s talk about the cost of ignoring what actually lights you up.

STRIPPED

STRIPPED is where I say the things you’re probably thinking - but out loud.

It’s raw, real & unfiltered - we're talking love, power, sex, deep spiritual practice & more (through the lens of Tibetan Buddhism, irreverence & my own messy life lessons after 25 years in the spiritual trenches & over a decade mentoring people worldwide).

If that’s your vibe...light a candle, grab a snack & let’s strip it all back.
