Speak, Mother | Soul-Led Entrepreneurship for Mothers
Speak, Mother is a podcast for soul-led mother entrepreneurs who are done choosing between their business, their children, and their magic.
You believe in Human Design, astrology, intuition, and energy work, and you also want to build a profitable, purposeful business. You're not here for bro-culture business advice or hustle-at-all-costs strategies. You're here to do it your way: spiritually grounded, unapologetically ambitious, and fully present as a mother.
This podcast is for you if you're asking:
1. How do I build a business that honors my spirituality and my role as a mother?
2. Why does conventional business advice feel so misaligned for me as a spiritual entrepreneur?
3. How do I trust my intuition in my business without second-guessing myself?
4. How do I grow a soul-led business without burning out or abandoning my values?
5. What does success look like for a spiritual mother entrepreneur who refuses to hustle?
6. How do I integrate my spiritual practice of Human Design, astrology, or energy work into the way I run my business?
7. How do I mother with intention while also showing up fully for my business?
8. How do I build a legacy I'm proud of without sacrificing what matters most?
9. How do I find community with other spiritual women entrepreneurs who get it?
10. How do I stop shrinking my spirituality to make my business more "professional"?
Each week, host Shannon Warner — podcast strategist, soul-led entrepreneur, and mother — brings you real conversations with women who are building businesses rooted in intuition, intention, and truth. From Human Design and aligned strategy to spiritual entrepreneurship and conscious motherhood, these are the conversations the mainstream business world isn't having.
Topics include: spiritual entrepreneurship, soul-led business, mother entrepreneur, intuitive business strategy, Human Design for entrepreneurs, conscious motherhood, women's business podcast, spiritual women in business, aligned business strategy, woo-woo entrepreneur, sacred motherhood, mindful entrepreneurship, business and spirituality, feminine business strategy, and motherhood and entrepreneurship.
Speak, Mother is for the mother who knows her magic is not separate from her business. It is the business.
Your voice belongs here. Speak.
