According to Chinese astrology, this is the year of the Fire Horse – a rare cycle of bold energy, rapid transformation, and courageous visibility.
And whether you follow astrology or simply feel that something is shifting, this episode will help you understand how to harness high-intensity energy in a grounded, sustainable way. Because in business, powerful momentum can either lead to burnout… or breakthrough.
The difference isn’t in the market.
It isn’t in your strategy.
It’s in how you manage your energy, your mindset, and your leadership as you grow.

Why your business can’t grow beyond your willingness to grow as a person

Two types of Home Staging business owners- and why one runs on fumes and the other strives for fulfillment

What most training and coaching programs overlook and where real breakthrough happens
If you’ve been feeling the pull to raise your visibility, strengthen your leadership, or finally build your business with intention, this conversation will give you both inspiration and grounded direction. Passion is powerful. But when it’s paired with awareness, strategy and smart decisions, it becomes transformational.
