Your Soul-led Business
Stop Following Rules You Never Agreed To
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For six years, Mattanja Lennings tried to fit into a box that was never hers.
She shaved off parts of herself. Followed every rule. Did everything "right" — Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, classical opera training.
And she lost her joy. Her spark. Her reason for singing in the first place.
Until her spirit whispered: "Go paint."
She went to the dollar store. Bought some supplies. And started creating again — this time, with zero rules.
Now she sells paintings for five figures. Not because of strategy. Because she followed her intuition instead of the industry.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• How six years of "doing everything right" led to complete emptiness
• The moment her spirit whispered something that changed her path
• Why not knowing the rules became her biggest business advantage
• The Hathor story: when a painting told her to charge €3,333 (and she'd never sold above €200)
• How to expand your nervous system to hold what your intuition already knows
• The question to ask yourself: What's YOUR opera?
About Mattanja Lennings:
Mattanja Lennings is an artist, former opera singer, and mentor from the Netherlands. After six years of classical training left her empty, she followed her spirit to painting — and built a business selling work for five figures without ever learning the "rules" of the art world.
