In this behind-the-scenes episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I’m taking you inside a whirlwind, exciting, and very full three weeks in my life and business—one that perfectly captures what it actually looks like to run a human-centered, high-touch, visibility-driven coaching business.

Between launching and delivering my Profitable Coaching Business Bootcamp, hosting an in-person client retreat, and attending Selena Soo’s Rich Relationships Mastermind and book launch—all while fracturing my ankle halfway through the chaos—this was a stretch that touched every part of what it means to grow a Passionate & Prosperous business:

✨ Attracting clients

✨ Serving at the highest level

✨ Building relationships

✨ And saying yes to big, bold opportunities that align with your purpose

This is more than just a recap—it’s a real-life, in-motion snapshot of what it looks like when you're living your business. Because growth doesn’t come from staying behind your laptop. It comes from showing up, engaging with people, creating experiences, and letting your life and your work fuel each other.

In This Episode, I Share:

• What a real 3-week stretch looked like inside my thriving, busy life and business
• The full breakdown of what goes into an 8-day launch event
• Why creating a relationship-driven business requires getting out from behind your laptop (duh!)
• How to build momentum by actively connecting, creating, and saying YES
• Why just posting on social media is not a client-attracting growth strategy (and what to do instead
• How in-person experiences deepen trust, create content, and expand your impact
• How to use your gifts, skills and expertise to grow your business
• Why being “busy” is actually a sign of vibrancy when it’s built around purpose and service

This episode is a full-bodied look at what it takes to grow a Passionate & Prosperous business in real life, not just in your feed.

It’s for the business owner who’s ready to build through action, connection, service, and momentum. Because this is the work—and it’s also the reward.
