The Blue Sofa: Beyond Strategy — Leadership & Growth for Women in Business
Welcome to The Blue Sofa: Beyond Strategy — a podcast about leadership and business growth for women in business.
I’m Mia Poulsen, and this is where we go deeper than tactics.
Because at some point, growth is no longer about learning another strategy. It is about developing the leadership required to hold more complexity, visibility, responsibility, and scale.
Inside each episode, we explore the architecture of sustainable growth. We talk about decision-making, developmental psychology, identity shifts, and the internal structures that determine how far your business can actually expand.
This is not a podcast about trends or quick wins.
It is a space for thoughtful conversations about what it means to grow as a female leader — to increase capacity, to evolve your authority, and to build a business that reflects who you are becoming.
If you are ready to move beyond strategy and into leadership, you are in the right place.
New episodes drop every week.

Soulful Business Growth Part 1: Energetic Alignment
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Blue Sofa, I introduce the Soulful Growth Series, a transformative journey designed to help female entrepreneurs grow their businesses in alignment with their true essence - without the hustle and burnout.
This first episode focuses on energetic alignment, which I believe is the foundation for building a soulful, sustainable business. I emphasize the importance of understanding who you are, your strengths, and your unique contribution to the world. When you align your business decisions with your authentic self, you create ease, fulfillment, and meaningful growth.
Here’s what I cover:
- Breaking Free from the Hustle Paradigm: I challenge the traditional "hustle and grind" mindset, showing you how to embrace strategies that align with your energy and strengths.
- Human Design as a Tool for Self-Awareness: I share how Human Design has helped me and my clients understand our energetic blueprints, guiding us to make aligned, soul-driven decisions.
- The Difference Between Positive Challenges and Misalignment: I discuss how to recognize growth challenges that build you up versus misaligned efforts that drain your energy.
- The Power of Intuition: I highlight the importance of trusting your gut and honoring your inner knowing to make aligned business decisions.
- My Personal Journey: I reflect on my own burnout and how rediscovering alignment through Human Design transformed my approach to business.
I also share a success story from one of my clients to illustrate how embodying energetic alignment can reignite joy, attract opportunities, and lead to effortless success.
To help you dive deeper, I invite you to explore your Human Design through my free masterclass. It’s packed with actionable insights to help you uncover your energetic blueprint and use it to grow your business.
Join me next week for Episode 2, where I’ll guide you through breaking mindset limitations and mastering your thoughts for soulful growth.
