2024 reflections: Building a business with energies

Yuli Ziv, Founder & CEO of Heallist, invites entrepreneurs to rethink their approach by viewing their businesses as energetic bodies. In this episode, she shares her journey as a spiritual entrepreneur navigating the interplay between energy and business. Drawing inspiration from thought leaders such as Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton, and Lynne McTaggart, she explores how blending spiritual and scientific principles can transform company culture, foster sustainable growth, and attract aligned clients. As the year comes to a close, Yuli highlights the transformative potential of seeing a business not just as numbers and logistics but as a dynamic, living entity driven by energy awareness. This perspective reduces reliance on complex marketing strategies, instead focusing on cultivating genuine connections.

Yuli also emphasizes the importance of community and mentorship within the holistic ecosystem. Under her leadership, initiatives like the Healers Exchange in New York City and the upcoming Healers Retreat at Menla in May 2025 create spaces for like-minded individuals to connect meaningfully. Through the Heallist Masterclass series, she is committed to closing business and organizational knowledge gaps, empowering healers to thrive both personally and professionally. Yuli reflects on the joy of guiding others in the space—a journey that has fueled the growth of the Heallist podcast and the vibrant community surrounding it. Looking ahead to 2025, she encourages her audience to embrace the opportunities to shine, serve, and transform.

Hello, my dear friends, this is a very special solo episode to wrap up 2024, reflect on this incredible year and share with you some of my learnings, some of the best thing that's happened, some of the things that I wish I could have done better, some lessons learned. I think it's just such a beautiful time of the year to take a pause and reflect on all those beautiful things we're going through. So I would like, as part of my journey, to be more transparent and sharing with some of my lessons as well. I just feel like we underestimate sometimes how much the things we're going through are so similar to some of our peers, people around us, and how much power there is in sharing the lessons we're learning again, some of the challenges and blocks we're overcoming. So here I am, I think, going to next year, I would love to do more solo episodes and share with you part of this fascinating journey that is building a business that is in a very unique place, a business that is a community and a platform, but also this complex software behind it and technology, but it also outside of all of those digital things I was going to say visible, but even those things are not very physical or touchable. They are all in the digital realm. But outside of that, this business also has an energetic body, right, and it's something that people don't often talk about, especially in the business world, often talk about, especially in the business world. But I love those conversations and I would love to bring this energetic realm more into the business conversations, just because I think it's just incredible how much we don't see yet that is affecting and impacting so much of what we do and is rarely spoken about and even less, I would say, taught or even acknowledged. Right, and the energetic body of our business affects everything all the areas it's part of the company culture, growth, the types of clients it attracts, types of clients it attracts. It impacts so many things.

Yuli: 3:09

So, as part of my journey as a business owner, startup founder, spiritual entrepreneur, I'm also practicing what I preach, which is looking at my business as an energetic body and building business with energies. And when I say energies and for those of you that may be new to the realm of spirituality, quantum physics, whatever side you come to this, we know these days that everything is frequency, everything has a vibration. Some of us are becoming more and more fluent in identifying those frequencies and vibrations, especially you, my dear healer friends, but it's one of those things that's really hard to put into words, even though there's a whole quantum science behind it that is now just starting to unpack this science and how it impacts our everyday life. I feel like we're not there yet. We know a lot about quantum mechanics, we know more and more about quantum computing and it's slowly trickling into biology, but we don't know yet anything, or no one talks, about the quantum principles and how they affect business, and this is why I took upon myself, after reading, every possible book on the subject I mean, I know there's more and there's more on my reading list, but getting a pretty good basic idea of some of those principles of energy that partially come from that. Those scientific books partially come from spiritual books and the last part is just my own intuition and my own integration of some of those beautiful teachings that I'm learning from some amazing teachers, especially this year, which is really incredible. And if you listen to some of my my last solo episode talked a lot about some of my teachers, like Joe Dispenza, bruce Lipton, lynn McTaggart all of those incredible people that are really bringing some of this scientific findings about the energy and the quantum world. They're helping to digest all of this very complex information and bring it to our everyday life.

Yuli: 5:31

So what I'm doing is I'm digesting a lot of that information and some of the other books and lectures and practices and integrating with my own spiritual practices and finding application to all of that in business. And this is where it's really exciting for me, because I'm the kind of person that I love all those aspects. I guess my left and right brain are pretty equal, so I'm equally excited about intuitive reading as well as reading a scientific book about quantum physics. So I'm really excited to try to synthesize all of this information and bring it to the business world. And this is what I'm doing when I'm building Healist. It's absolutely business that is built on energy and it's amazing to have those visions in my personal practices. But what's even more amazing to get those validations from the users, the partners and the people that just come across us and the feedback that I'm getting more and more which really, really makes me just so grateful for this process is that the energy that I'm creating and putting out there with this business, it completely resonates with the right people and this is where the magic really is paying off, right, and people that are energetically, I would say, fluent, right, they start telling me that they feel those things that we are projecting and the people and the type of users and the healers that our platform attracts, they get it. It immediately resonates. We don't have to spend a lot of time convincing and using marketing and business jargon terms for them to understand what we are about and wanting to become part of it. So it's an incredible filter.

Yuli: 7:34

Just working with energies more in a way that it has more awareness and is more intentional is extremely powerful, because it basically eliminates the need for complex marketing strategies. And don't get me wrong, I'm still a marketer. I still love to brainstorm and craft the perfect offering, the perfect messaging. I think that still has to be there, right? We can't just put out a beautiful picture of an energetic cloud and hope that it will attract the right users. No, it has to be done both ways. It has to be grounded right, and I do believe every vision that we bring to this earth has to be grounded, otherwise it just stays in the quantum and it rarely manifests right? So I think having that vision, having that intention right, that intentionality and that energy, and then working with the 3D tools to ground that vision and make sure that it speaks to the right language, it has the right messaging, is just so powerful.

Yuli: 8:44

This is where magic happens and we're starting to see this year was really a year of seeing that magic happens and we're starting to see this year was really a year of seeing that magic. And I really want to wish every creator out there, every entrepreneur, anyone who has that big idea and wants to put it out in the world and hopes that it resonates with people, I wish you to go to that process and get to that point that resonates, because it just becomes so powerful. This is that process that keeps us creating and keeps us producing more things and attracting the right people and contributing more to this world. So it's just a beautiful way to witness. So to translate that to more of the everyday terms. For those of you who kind of got lost a little bit in all those terms is that we've seen a really incredible growth this year in terms of our community.

Yuli: 9:38

Really, I'm talking about healers in 30 plus countries, 100 plus modalities, that almost every day, we get another email that asks us to add a new modality to our platform, just because there are so many beautiful, beautiful teachings that are being born these days and so many amazing healers that are adopting these new modalities. That often like a fusion of some ancient techniques, some modern science, it's just something that's been so beautiful to watch and the responses we get and the feedback we get. People are just so grateful for finding a place where they can feel seen and this is, I think, one of the biggest achievements of Healist that we've done that we really managed to build it in a way that speaks the language of our potential clients, users, customers. It's something that when the right person stumbles upon, they know it's for them, they know they feel home, they feel like they resonate and they immediately get on board, and I think this was probably the hardest thing to do and to crack the code. I'm not going to claim that it was immediate. You know, a first try, first attempt, success. It took a while to fine tune the messaging, the flow, the offerings, and it's still. It's a constant process and I enjoy that process a lot.

Yuli: 11:11

I think, if you're a type of person that doesn't have patience to really watch, put things out, watch what happens right, analyze it, go back to drawing board, optimize, refine, improve and then go test it again and then analyze and go through that process over and over, this is how things work. So, with all of our divine connection and all the amazing downloads that I'm getting, you know it really helps. It helps focus. But at the end of the day, a lot of those more of a practical things like you know, the messaging, the product flow, the way we attract users, the way we structure offerings, you can't escape those things. Those things rarely come in a very clear download right Like the perfect I don't know, take example, a perfect landing page or the perfect user flow. We rarely get downloads like that. We get a general direction, we get some signs that tell us, you know when, right path, maybe something to look into. But all of those other things you kind of have to figure out and you have to be patient and you have to trust the process right. You have to trust that you're on the right path, but you have to figure out the details of the path right.

Yuli: 12:38

And this is, I think, something that a lot of people on the spiritual journey and trying to build spiritual businesses they're missing because they get the part of the vision and the download and the manifestation but they don't do the work. They don't do the 3D work to actually show them the way, and sometimes the way it's going to be shown by you testing multiple things right. It's not just going to reveal itself for you. That will make life too easy and probably boring. So the way to do that is to test as much as possible until you get the right, it all clicks together. So that's been at least my journey and this is my two cents on this whole idea of manifesting but also bringing to reality and some of my visualizations.

Yuli: 13:29

And I spent a good chunk of last year really battling this idea of, you know, surrendering versus being more proactive, and I think I kind of I read a lot on the subject and I think I did a couple of episodes past episodes on the subject and then I just let it integrate right, because there's only so much that you can push and try to do the work At some point. You just have to trust that you know your brain, your spirit, your body will just integrate some of those lessons, and it did, and I think that I'm finding this like perfect way of working, like I said, is having this visions and then testing it in multiple ways and this 3D reality and using your intuition to choose the right path, but also looking at the data and being very honest with what are you seeing and being honest with what do you see that resonates versus not, and that's, I think, another very important part. Not to look at things and try to kind of ignore them or sweep them under the table and kind of just hope that it's going to improve or go away. Be very honest with yourself and also accept things that don't necessarily work for you and just accept them as part of the journey and again, but going back to the drawing board and trying different things. So this episode was supposed to be my reflection, but it turned into a big, big share about some of my internal processes and my philosophy around building business with energies, which is a really exciting subject for me, but I hope you enjoy that. Sometimes things come to me as a download during the episode. I rarely plan it, so this is what came through just now and I do believe that when things like that come through, it means some of you needed to hear that, so I hope there are a few of you. But I did want to use this episode to do a true reflection also on, and express my gratitude for, some of the things that happened this year.

Yuli: 15:34

It's really it was so interesting going into this business and building this platform. I knew that community it was going to be a big piece of it, but I didn't realize, like, how big that piece is going to be, because I think being in a startup, big that piece is going to be, because I think, being in a startup world that is so driven by technology, you know it's so easy to kind of like get caught up and you know what's the business model and what's the product roadmap. And at the end of the day, I think anyone who's building software should really think that the people that are using the software are extremely important and if we can build something that really resonates with a specific group of people and I think, again this is something that I'm learning from building a software for a specific group of people that is maybe niche but brings together people with very similar passions, similar blocks, similar challenges, similar blocks, similar challenges. So it's actually a software like that, like ours. There's a essentially practice management software. It's actually a great way to bring together like-minded people and this is something I didn't realize going into this business how powerful this is because, again, everyone who signs up on our platform, they find so much value in collaborating and networking with peers.

Yuli: 16:51

So, really, this year we've been diving so deep into events, whether it's virtual or in-person. We had an opportunity to host so many beautiful in-person gatherings, whether it's some of our local healer circles that we host in Hudson Valley, new York. We hosted a beautiful farm dinner at Landy's Farm this summer. That was really incredible, with beautiful fire ceremony. We hosted almost 100 healers in New York City for Healers Exchange, which was a full day of incredible connection and learning and exchanges of practices. And we hosted so many beautiful virtual gatherings as well, from our monthly healer circles to master class series, that we're going to continue next year and, most importantly, we are finally coming to a place that we actually feel good and in the right place to host the Healers Retreat, which was really one of my original visions. It was always part of Healers.

Yuli: 17:53

I knew we're going to have to have Healers Retreat, but things just didn't come together until literally maybe a month ago. So we're going to be gathering together in May 2025 in a beautiful retreat spot called Menla in Catskills, new York, just about a couple hours north from the city, and it's going to be magical. So many incredible people are already coming on board to teach and to share their gifts. And if you're a healer who's looking for this supportive community and opportunity to share your gifts as well and really level up your practice and learn a lot of great skills business skills, teaching skills, make some amazing new friends and colleagues, please come join us in may. Check our website and check menlaorg for more information, and we're going to be announcing more details soon but there's only a few limited spots available, so I know it's going to be a very special group of people and I cannot wait to see everyone, so that's something I'm really looking forward to next year. This is really puts like. Every time I think about that event, it puts a smile on my face and so definitely we're going to continue doing more of those events.

Yuli: 19:10

And another piece that I didn't know going to this business, how much education is going to be so important, and that's why we're going to continue our master class series. We're going to be bringing more experts on board. I really underestimated how much education is missing in this space, with everything that relates to business, finance and just general organization systems in place marketing, go through and it's been such a rewarding process and really every masterclass we hosted, every workshop, has been just so beneficial for our community. We're getting so much great feedback. So I love to continue investing in this space and me myself personally.

Yuli: 20:05

It was really interesting to step into this mentorship role and share some of my knowledge that I guess I take for granted often about being in the marketing and tech space for a couple of decades. A lot of those things are easy and obvious to me, and then every time I get to teach anything like digital marketing or just general technology or bookings flow, whatever it is it just brings me a lot of joy and actually really recognize my passion to come on board also as a mentor and not just someone who is a facilitator. So I'm definitely going to be stepping more into that role and sharing more of my expertise. I'm just here to serve the healers community. This is my mission in life and whatever shape and form that I can do that through Healist, through this incredible vehicle that we built with my incredible team, which I would really I wouldn't be here without, and just wanted to acknowledge that. So, really, it's the people behind the technologies, our incredible team, our incredible healers who trust us with their practices and with running their entire practice and their clients through our platform.

Yuli: 21:24

I really couldn't be more grateful to be able to bring more abundance and just more flow to the space. So I'm really really full of gratitude at the end of this year and I look forward to 2025. I'm going to continue. This podcast has been such a great outlet, creative outlet, to share some of my ideas, some of the behind the scenes, some of my philosophies and visions, and thank you for all the listeners that join us this year this podcast grew a lot and all the incredible guests that allowed us to share their stories. So I'm wishing all of our incredible community of healers an incredible 2025. It's going to be a really, really transformative year for all of us. I know it, you all know it, you all read astrology and energy and you know what's happening in the world. And this is our time to shine, and I'm just so grateful to be able to serve this incredible community.
