19. Why Business *IS* Personal

Business loves to pretend it’s logical, clean, and “not personal” until you’re the one posting the offer, hearing the no, watching something flop, and feeling your whole body react. In this episode, I’m breaking down why entrepreneurship is actually a deeply personal spiritual journey that drags your old wounds into the light, then gives you a chance to heal them for real. If you’ve ever felt a wave of shame after marketing, second-guessed your voice, or worried you’re “too much,” you’re going to want to listen to this episode.

We talk about how modern selling runs on trust, relationships, and resonance, not transactionalism. From influence culture to word-of-mouth referrals, people buy when they feel safe with the person behind the offer. That’s also why visibility can trigger everything: body image, fitting in, family judgment, and the fear of being witnessed. I share how and why performative content can only take you so far, and what happens when you finally drop the mask and let the right clients find you.

Then we go deeper into failure, ego, and burnout. Your ego can become a “hungry ghost,” chasing more money, more validation, and more proof, only to feel empty again. 

I share what it looked like when I pushed too hard, how I recalibrated, and why inner child work, rest, play, and regulation aren’t extras, they’re the foundation for sustainable success. If you’re ready to build an online business that funds your life without consuming it, you’ll wanna give this a listen.

Why Business Feels So Personal

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Today I'm going to talk to you about how business is actually deeply personal. Welcome to the Magnetic Mindset podcast, where spirituality, psychology, and philosophy meet to make you your most magnetic self. If you feel like you have achieved success on paper, but are craving a deeper meaning and a life that feels alive, keep listening. The show is hosted by me, your coach, Holly Pendergast. Let's get into it. Now, I know that the term business isn't personal or it's not personal, means it doesn't have anything to do with you, who the person is buying from. Like sometimes the person who's buying is not aligned with the program or whatever you are selling. But business is actually a personal spiritual journey. And this is not talked about in the way that I'm going to talk about it today. And for as long as time, business has been operating under the lens of transactionalism. You want something and you want it from somebody else, and somebody's going to give it to you, and you're going to pay them a certain amount of money, right? For this product or this service or this transformation, this result that you want for yourself. When you are in business, it is deeply personal because business is always going to bring up all of your shit, all of your insecurities, all of your fear around being rejected, hearing no, risking relationships. And if you are human, you are wired for connection. I remember years ago, I had a coach that I hired for just like a six-week one-to-one coaching program. And she, I had already been in business for like over five years, maybe like seven years at this point, in my previous business. And she said, business isn't for the faint of heart. And I was like, well, no shit, obviously. Business is hard. That's why a lot of people, business is a hard thing to number one, create, number two, sustain and evolve with the times. And I had already been doing that. And I had already made tens of thousands of dollars and I was already full-time in my business at this point. But I was transitioning into a new business and a new niche, completely serving somebody completely different in a new way. But I remember her saying that. And then I remember having such a visceral ick when she said that because I was like, yes, the fuck it is. Business is going to challenge you to look at every single wound you have ever experienced in your past. So all of your past trauma in belonging, in getting the word out there, in speaking up for yourself, in naming boundaries, in getting people to be interested in what you're offering. And not only that, but everyone's heard, but you've also heard that your net worth is your network or your network is your net worth. Business is about building relationships. And this can be relationships online, it can be relationships in person. You can be networking with people, but ultimately the people with the biggest businesses and the people with the most successful businesses are the people that have people skills, that have friendships, that have, I know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody. Those kinds of relationships are what create a business and the success in it. And that's because people are trading money with other people that they trust for your service or your offer, right? So if you are hearing something from somebody you trust, you're 100 million cajillion bajillion more times to buy it. And you can see this just in the way women react with each other. Oh my gosh, what is

Trust, Influence, And Modern Selling

SPEAKER_00 3:40

that lip gloss? It looks so good on you. And that woman will go to town selling why they love the lipstick, how it doesn't dry out her lips, how it fits perfectly in her purse, how she has one in her purse, one in her kitchen, one in her bathroom, right? Women are natural salespeople when we love something. We love a person. We're like, oh my gosh, you have to go to my Pilates class. Oh my God, you're gonna love the teacher. They're so funny. Or you need to buy this lip gloss, this candle is something I bought off of da-da-da-da-da. Right? I have sold so many, then this is what influencing is, right? Is there is an entire multi-million bajillion dollar interest industry based on influencing people to buy something based on if this person is in the know, is an expert, is an it girl, is passing along something of wisdom that, hey, I want to share this with you, you can have this too. That is how we buy things these days. So if you are a business person, you are creative, you are in turn a salesperson. You are influencing somebody to buy what you have to offer. And when you do that, you have to market your business. You have to put yourself out there, which means your body is going to be in front of other people. So it's gonna bring up your body image issues if you have them. It is gonna bring up how you present yourself, your style, your makeup, your hair, how you speak, how educated you are in your language. It is going to bring up all the fitting in feelings you had growing up in school. When you, even if you are not in person, you're only doing digital products or you're only selling digitally. Maybe you're working with like Facebook ads or something. I remember in this group launch that I had, the first time I launched a group program, I was doing it completely online. And it was more closer to the time of the pandemic. So this was like maybe 2021, 2022. And I remember I was I had all the strategy in place. I was following this rubric, I was posting every day, multiple times a day. I was sending out all the emails and I was reaching out to people who are already interested and having conversations with them, having consultations with them. And I remember even my marketing plan, I was like, okay, I'm gonna

Marketing Brings Up Body And Belonging

SPEAKER_00 6:10

be an example of my work and I'm gonna demonstrate how I have gone through this process, my before and after photos to demonstrate who I have become in the process of my own business because I was selling business coaching and expression and using your personality to market your offers in a way that's really fucking magnetic and unique to you. That I was I was going through all of this and I was being an example of what it was going to be like to work with me. So it's sort of meta. I was being the demonstration of my own work that I was selling to other people to help them go through their own personal transformation. That was my marketing strategy, and it fucking worked, and it was so much fun to do. And it also, at the same time, that it was so fun, and it helped me bust through my own insecurities about how energetic I am or how funny I am or ridiculous, or sometimes I'm exaggerating something in my marketing, like a real, funny, real or dramatic, or I'm using lyrics to a song. All of this stuff that came up for me was are you a little bit much? Is this performative? What is this person gonna think that takes business really seriously and says you have to be professional? I also was having dreams. So my subconscious was processing this information. My subconscious, while I was sleeping, was bringing up stuff from middle school to handle, to process, and to heal. And this is why I say business is deeply personal because when you're putting yourself out there, it brings up all your most personal stuff. It brings up your family stuff. Is my family gonna think that I am off the rails because I'm doing something that my family generationally has never done, like run a business or run an online business in the way that I'm doing it, selling something called coaching. It's not consulting, it's a lot closer to therapy than it is strategy. And I'm not a therapist, but I am very educated in cognitive behavioral therapy and other tools that I've used on myself and my clients, but they have no idea. My family has no understanding of what I do, and nor do I try to explain it to them. But do they see me doing it? Yes. Did I care a lot what they thought about and did it hold me back for years before I had to overcome that stuff internally, do all the work to be brave and do it anyway? Yes. So that is why I offer coaching for the duration that I do, three month or six months, because all of this comes up in a launch. And you can try to override your nervous system. Absolutely. You can try, you will get whiplash and you will expand a bunch, and then you will want to contract. And that sometimes comes in the form of burnout. It can also feel like you want to run away from the internet because you have a vulnerability hangover, because you were a little bit too much yourself, and that was a little too vulnerable to show the masses of people that were witnessing you, or people that used to know you, or people who were attracted to your business a year ago have not seen who you are now. And so you're really exposing your freak flags, your real authenticity to these people. And they're like, whoa, I didn't realize she was that wacky or that seatly or that ridiculous. And that comes with a sort of distrust of, oh, I thought she was more humble. I thought she was more put together, polished, professional. So when you allow yourself to be more magnetic, it will come with this vulnerability of exposure. They saw me, they witnessed me, they saw this part of me that was really real. And that can come with that whiplash kind of feeling. But ultimately, what you're trading is your shyness for really aligned clients that are obsessed with you, your work, and they take action because they are so inspired by you, but also they're inspired by the transformation that they see potentially in themselves now that they've worked with you. The reason they have chosen to work with you is because that you have shown them a version of themselves that is bigger than what they've been able to see for themselves and bigger

Authenticity, Exposure, And Aligned Clients

SPEAKER_00 10:40

than what their other peers or relationships or friends or family, whatever, has been able to say, Hey, I see this big potential in you. You can absolutely become this person that has created this next result that you want. So when people hire me, it's because I have shown them a version of themselves that's possible for them too. And sometimes I see the vision before they do. Sometimes we figure it out together, but ultimately I'm always seeing the best in people to a fault, even. But when I see somebody and I see who they've been, or I've seen some of their work, or I've seen some of their marketing, I can see where they're holding back. I can feel it energetically. And I know the kinds of questions that will help them surrender the shield, the protection that they are putting up that is kind of the facade, the mask that they feel comfortable showing the world because it's more acceptable. When I show them, hey, if you drop this mask, this is what's possible for you. And they start to see that vision too, is when they start feeling they start feeling safe enough to drop the mask, to actually say the things that they want to say in their marketing or what is wrong about their industry that is preventing their clients from creating results. And this is why the marketing, when it's genuine and true, is so effective. Being performative, the thing about it is it does create some results because people will meet you as deeply as they have met themselves. So if you've met yourself a little bit, let's say 10%, the people who have met themselves 5% see you as their leader of how to get a little bit deeper into meeting your shadow, your cringy parts of you, the parts of you that you used to feel insecure about and how you've embraced them. That's very inspiring for somebody who has done a little bit of work, right? And the more you meet yourself, that's why I'm saying business is deeply personal. The more you do, the brave, harder, more real way of marketing your business, which is to show your personality and show what you really think, the more people you will attract that are better aligned with you. Now, I will say there is a little bit of a gap. There's a gap of who you used to be and who used to be watching you to the people who are about to discover you and find you at where you're at and don't know the past versions of you. And the people that are attracted to a version of you now who is opening up and sharing more of who you are in your unique voice, the more people will flock to you. And then there will be a third category of people who have witnessed your journey all along, who have been with you for years, that also sensed that you had more to share, more to give, that are now ready to invest because they've seen your growth and they're like, I want that. I can see my own transformation and how I've been showing up. And you've inspired me to express myself. And I've been here the whole ride. And now that you are your most authentic, I believe you more. I trust you the most now than I ever have. And I want to take this journey with you. And they will pay you thousands of dollars to work with you because they have that duration, they have that years of trust that they've watched you grow and they've seen your fails.

Failure, Ego, And Nervous System Resilience

SPEAKER_00 14:08

Failure is something that the human brain is wired to resist and avoid. And business requires you to fail. That's the only way you learn. And I remember being younger in my entrepreneurial journey where I used to think, yeah, but not me. I will just not fail and I'll just like do what I think is totally achievable. And I'll take baby steps there instead of taking giant steps and failing, and giant steps and failing. So basically, what I was telling myself is number one, I'm not worth the risk of taking big steps and trying it and failing. And not only am I not worth it, but I was telling myself subconsciously through this logic that I won't be able to recover from failure if I do have a big, massive public failure. And the thing that is so wild about that is when you're running your own business, only you really know, you and your coach probably, only really know this way you failed and how you failed. Nobody else really knows that or is keeping track of you the way you think you other people are keeping track of you. So the cost of it is your ego. Your ego will be rused when you fail. And how you handle your ego is a spiritual journey. You have to reconnect to why the fuck are we doing this anyway? Because ego won't sustain you. Even if you grow a business based on your ego, you will burn out and you will have to burn down your business. Because when you build your business based on your ego and trying to go viral, etc., etc., or even solely on money, that is not enough to satiate your soul and it will exhaust you because eventually you will stop caring about those things once you get them. It's hedonistic, even to want it to achieve it, and then you're like, okay, that's done. Now I need another one. You will absolutely burn out when you build your business based on your ego and comparing yourself to other people in your industry and even comparing yourself to who you were last year. That shit is toxic too. When you share that part of you, and let's say it flops, okay, because sometimes we do put stuff out there and it totally flops, it just doesn't resonate. Getting up again tomorrow, when you were attached to that idea of transactionalism, what actually does not work in business, when you're in that transactionalism of if I just show my most authentic self, then I will get thousands of dollars and it doesn't work, you will be so humbled, right? And you will be tested. How resilient are you? How flexible is your nervous system? And that's why I'm saying this, this is so personal because your nervous system affects how you show up for yourself, if you are taking deep breaths or not, how you eat, how you digest your food, how you react and engage with your significant other, your friends, family, your community. If you're having a shit business day and you're going to the grocery store and you're like having a horrible day down the job, you are more likely to snap at the cashier for whatever fucking reason, right? Or give nothing when somebody's trying to be kind and have a conversation with you. That is just a small example, right? But really, when you learn how to double down on not only loving who you are when you fail and when you win, that is when the ego starts to pipe down. And we don't need to demonize the ego. The ego is a part of the brain that has helped us survive. But the ego is a hungry ghost. One of my coaches years ago called it a hungry ghost, and I think it's an Eastern philosophy term. But basically the hungry ghost is insatiable because ghosts, when they're hungry and they eat, they have nowhere to put it, right? So the hungry ghost just wants more and more and more and more, and it will haunt you, haunt you, haunt you until you relax the ego and let go of all the things that are external that are driving your motivation. So motivation to appear a certain class, a certain socioeconomic background, right? When you are, I mean, materialism gets a bad rap for this, right? When you want a certain kind of um brand name to represent you, a certain kind of car to represent who you are, it doesn't work because the ego is driving that. And you will ultimately, I believe it's three days, become accustomed to that new item, let's say a car. In three days, you're like, yep, it's my new normal. You have acclimatized, you have acclimated to a new level of an experience, and your brain basically desensitizes itself to it, and now it's just normal and boring again. So it causes you to want more and more and more, like an addict, to create that same dopamine dump in the nervous system. And you will be chasing your tail into infinity because you will want more and more and more every time, and it will do it for you less and less with less kicks. When you surrender to the idea that you can't operate your business from a place of ego and carrying what people think or driving yourself mad to make the money, because the money to you is a signifier of success, which it is a result that you can measure if people are responding to your marketing or not. But when you surrender to okay, business is a personal journey and you can use it to grow.

Burnout, Red Flags, And A Livable Pace

SPEAKER_00 20:00

Now you can start to see opportunities that come to you in your business as oh gosh, this opportunity is really scary. It's pretty intimidating, it's overwhelming. Universe must think I'm ready for this now. It's came here before I was ready. Okay, let's try it, right? And also the tribulations, the obstacles that come to you in your business are not a fluke. They are there to show you something, to teach you something. Maybe you're becoming too attached to either the money, the fame, whatever it is that you have been chasing with your ego. Your business will always reflect to you what you're either needing to grow through or let go of. Your business will offer you obstacles that will question your devotion to your mission. So I went through a point where I was severely burned out because I was using my launches to measure how good I was doing in the world and in business. And so I had to take some time to really chill the fuck out and calm my nervous system because there was a point where I was peer coaching over 25 hours. No, it was probably 30 hours a week of peer coaching. And then on top of that, I was marketing my business and I was a one-woman show. I was didn't hire out any work, and I still have never hired out any work, and I was doing everything myself. Every email was created and sent by me. Every reel was edited and curated, and every piece of copy, everything that went out was me. And I got to a point where I was drinking so much coffee, honestly, probably, and it was black coffee at the time too. Oh my god. I remember my nervous system was so wired that I was working with a coach who was also a therapist, and she was having to bring me down. From like hyperventilating because I was so driven, yes. And that created a lot of success for me. But I was in a place where I was almost like dizzy, like my eyes were like jotting from side to side, trying to be like, what's next? What I have to do. Oh my God, I have to wake up, I have to do this. And it just messed up my nervous system so badly that I had to really surrender to this isn't working because I am unhappy. And people stopped replying and stopped um engaging with my content and stopped signing up for my offers. That is how you know the universe was like, you don't really want this. You were doing this because you think you should want it, and you're driving yourself to complete exhaustion, working in the bed, like finishing up an email at 9:30 p.m. after you worked all day because you got a quote unquote second wind. And I really had to take time, and my ego was going crazy. My ego was like, You're being consistent. Oh my god, blah blah blah. And there became a point where I was like, Hold up. Is this still what I really wanted to do? Is this still what I am here to do? And I remember like really reflecting and looking at some of my past work and listening to some of my old videos and things like that. And I was like, oh my gosh, I was good at that shit. I was real good at that shit. And I love what I said, and I loved who I was being when I was being that person. Now I just need to figure out how to do it in a way that's actually livable for me, where I can enjoy my life and have so much play and fun that my life is my life, and my business is a basically my business is my side hustle, and my life is the main project. My happiness is my main project. And that doesn't mean happy, happy, joy, joy. It means contentness, feeling good in my body, eating beautiful foods that fuel my body, connecting deeply with my friends. My life is my priority. My business is quote unquote the side hustle. And yes, my side hustle, quote unquote, my business is what funds my life. So I have to do well in my business in order to have the money that I make to fund my life. And I've ultimately found that this is how things come to me with ease. Things float into my world either through an ad, they float into my inbox, they float into my awareness. A friend of a friend of a birdie once told me, I'm getting all of these offers that now that I am really regulated and I have doubled down on this is my life's work, is to help people and reflect back to them what they're thinking and how they're feeling and how it's creating their results and how to think in a new paradigm in a new way that's gonna set them free and create an alternate reality for themselves. That is where my work is.

Inner Child Work And Real Regulation

SPEAKER_00 25:14

And I've been teaching yoga actually lately, and I've been absolutely loving it. And I'm seeing how when I guide somebody through a practice and how they leave the room, they are so much more regulated, relaxed. We went through a journey in that one hour of yoga that I taught, and it has completely changed their perspective on their life, what's going on on that day. And that is something that I offer through coaching as well. I feel like the yoga is really a physical practice of the work because you're moving your body, you're on your mat, you're sweating. And the coaching is more of the intellectual side where we can talk through it and really understand it verbally. And I remember coming back to this point. And I remember, like, actually, ChatGPT gave me this coaching because I was like, I am going through this. This this used to work. And it told me that I was romanticizing my past, my old life, my old, an old chapter of my entrepreneurial journey, because those that part of me created results. So the more I romanticize, oh my God, I used to post seven times a day on this, and I used to do this and this and this, I was saying, Oh, I think I should become that person. And it just like smacked me upside the head a little and like splashed my face with cold water of like, oh yeah, but I remember how that felt. And I my eyes were like red from staring at the screen all day. I was actually exhausted. I was actually on coffee cup number six, cup of coffee number six, and I was not doing well, I was having major back pain. I was um not really being real in my relationships. I was starving for like friendship connection, but I poured all of my time and energy into my business. So I was actually very isolated, and it just revealed so much to me about my personal life. So ChatGPT told me that. And I was like, oh shit, you're right. I am romanticizing the past version of me, but not because it was right or better, but because it was creating different results for me that I was making even more money back then. But that's not the way I'm willing to risk my life anymore. I'm not willing to risk and be of detriment to my own self and my nervous system because I've learned how to fiercely protect basically my inner child who was screaming at me, saying, No, this is not right. I need rest, I need play, I need to go outside. But I couldn't listen to her because I didn't trust her yet. I hadn't done any of my inner child work yet that's left me, that led me to heal it and listen to her. To now I'm at the point where I can honor her, take care of her, and really give her what she needs and be the adult. And younger me is so stoked, so happy that adult me is who she is today because she's not being mean to herself, she knows how to love us, she knows how to physically take care of us, emotionally, mentally, and nutritionally, which young me didn't know how to do that. And baby me, younger self me, and her child me is just thriving now. She's happy, she's been acknowledged, she's actually so much less destructive because she's been acknowledged and she's been taken care of really truly deeply because I respect her. I was not respecting her. I was I was um infantilizing her, and I was telling her that she didn't matter, I was telling her that she didn't exist, and boy, does that gaslighting do a number on your nervous system. Your nervous system is the thing that will decide your quality of life, how you feel, how much energy you have in a day, how resilient you are, how connected you feel. We we forget that connection, human connection is what keeps us going. It creates a sense of belonging, a that sense of community that we need primally. That is so crucial to our nervous system to feel that we are safe in the world versus being constantly on alert and fearing that we are in danger all the time. That will do a number that's called toxic stress. Okay, chronic stress too. So throughout my business, I have been through many chapters, many versions of myself, lots of evolution, and I can see when I look back, oh, I just started doing inner child work. Oh my gosh, I remember I was doing inner teen work at this point. Oh my gosh, I was doing early 20s work at this point, and really observing and healing past versions of me so that I can be the most whole healed version of me in a way where I can honor whoever is speaking to me at the time. Whether it's inner teen me, who's like wanting attention, needing attention. It's kind of like having a counsel in your mind that you get to listen to based on their wisdom, based on their level of maturity. And you're also the adults. So you get to use your wisdom now to suss out what does that version of

Obstacles As Spiritual Feedback

SPEAKER_00 30:34

me actually need? And really listen to her instead of listening to your ego that's saying probably mean things and probably things that will cause you to be in overdrive. As you can see, business is very deeply personal. And I've shared some of the ways that business has been so personal. And even though when somebody says no to your offer, they say rejection is protection or rejection is redirection. And yes, that is true. So this is not an episode on how to not take things personally, because when somebody says no, it's not personal in that it's about you as a person. And actually, sometimes it could be about the energy that you showed up in. Maybe your energy was kind of clingy, or maybe you didn't describe the offer in a way that was super enticing, or maybe this client really was not for you. Okay, it could be a myriad of things. But what I'm saying is business is not about you. Okay, so your success is not about you as a person and your worthiness, but in fact, the lessons are for you. The lessons are for you to grow as a human being, personally. Every obstacle is placed for you to grow. Now, obstacles aren't necessarily fun, and sometimes they're a bit, right? But they are there for you to grow. So instead of seeing them as this thing that is annoying, and sometimes these obstacles make you cry, right? Sometimes you're frustrated, sometimes you're furious, sometimes you are like freaking out. Yes, but even those obstacles are there for you to teach you something, to reflect back to you an area that it's time for you to grow, or something in your past, it's time for you to heal. The universe only gives us stuff that we are ready for. And I truly believe that it waits to give you some of its lessons until you are at a place that you can handle it. Now, 99% of the world does not operate this way. 99% of the world has no idea that they can self-reflect, that they can think about their thoughts, that they can choose how they want to feel and change their perspective. Some people are purposefully closing up their ears and being like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Life is amazing. Never mind, nothing's happening bad. And there are people that are actively neglecting looking at themselves. And there are people that don't know that they can use these tools to grow and feel better and more secure. And then there are people who are you who are listening to this podcast that are familiar with some of these tools already, that have done some work or even a lot of work on themselves to understand where they're at in their life and their business. And I just want to send you so much love right now and validate that business is deeply personal. It is a spiritual, existential reflection of who you are at any point in time. And sometimes we're not working our in our business, right? Sometimes we're like either choosing to take, you know, a month off, a sabbatical to reacquaint yourself with yourself, right?

ADHD, Chapters, And Not Being Done

SPEAKER_00 34:03

And I remember too, I had this point where I was, I took some time off of my business, even though I was still working in my business, but I wasn't working on my business, so I wasn't marketing and stuff, but I was still serving my clients, obviously. I was like, Am I done with this chapter? Because I, someone who has ADHD, once I really like something, I get obsessed with it, I invest in it, and then I master it, and then I immediately get bored and move on to the next chapter and dump it. I was like, oh my God, no, is my coaching business really something I'm gonna master and then be done with it? And I remember I was reflecting and going back on my past asset creations videos content, and I was like, I fuck with this bitch. I love who she is, I love what she's saying. I still agree. I'm actually gonna take this note for myself and apply it for me. Like I forgot that I said that genius thing. And again, I brought this to Chat TBT to coach me, and Chat TBT said, This is somebody who's not done yet. And I was like, Oh. So I just had to pause, rearrange, and come at this work when I was at a place where I was more relaxed, more healed, faced some of my worst case scenarios. I faced that shit. Worst case scenario is you put yourself out there, you put your heart on the line, nobody shows up. I've done that. Worst case scenario is you completely change your life, and new circumstances come uh present themselves, and the very last thing that you wanted to happen happens. Your worst fears happen, and you're like, Oh, yeah, I got knocked down, but I get up again, and you're never gonna keep me down. I get knocked down. You know what I'm saying? That song, the way that has been my anthem throughout my life. I mean, it was foreshadowing as a business owner. So as you fail, whether it's a micro fail or it's a big major fail, I'm going to celebrate you every time because it's and everybody celebrates. Oh, every time you fail means you're getting closer to your dream. Yes, absolutely, which is like the point of failing on purpose to grow. But really, I know and I can see that each failure is here to show you something, to grow something in you that either needs to expand or you've healed something from your past. And healing something from your past and letting it really marinate and letting it go is what allows you the freedom to move with ease forward, which allows you to feel even more convicted in your mission, allows you to be more yourself in your marketing, in your expression of yourself, showing up to networking events more vocally expressive about what you do and asking people more questions. You're gonna be more present in your body. Your vibration is gonna be something that attracts people to you. Opportunities will come to you because you feel so secure in yourself, in your body, in your past, in your story, in your future. All of that is because of your business journey. So let's thank your business for a moment for bringing up all your shit to heal, for growing you into the person you are today and setting you up for a future where you will have even more success now. It might not look exactly how you think it will. And in fact, I always choose to believe it's gonna look even better than you think it's going to look and feel. Let's take a moment to honor that the business journey is the container and the vortex in which you enter in order to become that new person. And if I am speaking to you and you're like, holy shit,

Coaching Invite And How To Work Together

SPEAKER_00 38:18

that's me. Holy shit, this obstacle is kicking my ass right now. Come to coaching. The magnetic frequency is my program where we coach weekly. We talk about all this stuff because it's not only about your strategy. Yes, I know the strategy, yes, I know the funnels, yes, it's about data and your personal life, how you feel about your business, how you feel about a client that deeply upset you, or is canceling or rejected payment or how your webinar account and like only three people are coming, which usually 3,000 people come. All of that shit is here for you to get coached on, to grow and heal from. And if you resonate with this message, I'm gonna be a great coach for you. So I want to invite you to sign up for a free consultation. The link is in the description in this podcast, and we can talk about where you are in your business. We could talk about the big obstacle that's coming up, and I can help show you where you can go from here, the potential that I know and I can see that you have waiting for you. And you can tell me too about where you want to go, where you're taking this business, and what you want to create. And I wanted to share something that a client recently told me. And she said, What makes Holly so exceptional is her ability to get right to the heart of what's happening for somebody with both precision and compassion. She's deeply intuitive, emotionally intelligent, dynamic, and incredibly engaging. I watched her coach artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs both within our training programs and in her own work. And she has a rare ability to create real transformation while making people feel completely safe, seen, and empowered. And I thought, thank you. This has been a longtime client of mine, and she has been with me, and I've been with her through her personal business goals and obstacles. And I've seen her grow and bust through her own limitations and obstacles in her business and in her life. And I just thought that that was such a kind reflection, and I completely agree. The way I get laser focus into the root of the problem and rip it out for both of us to see, the easier it is for us to look at it together and heal it so you can move on with it and you can grow with less friction in your life and in your business. That is what I have for you today. I would love to work with you. Feel free to message me on social media. I'm at coach.with.holly, or you can send me an email.
