This episode is for the builders who are navigating ambition and humanity at the same time. We explore what it means to lead and create from purpose—without forcing clarity, chasing validation, or burning out.
Through strategic thinking, spiritual grounding, and honest reflection, this episode speaks to entrepreneurs who are rebuilding momentum, managing imposter syndrome, and staying in action even when motivation is low or life feels heavy.
This is a conversation about knowing when to walk away, trusting peace over pressure, and beginning exactly where you are.
In this episode, we talk about:
Entrepreneurship as a practice, not a personality
Strategic thinking without overcontrol
Imposter syndrome and past trauma in the workplace
Taking action without motivation
Rebuilding focus after time off or the holidays
Overthinking vs inner knowing
Why peace doesn’t always make sense
Releasing what you can’t fix
Surrender, self-trust, and staying in purpose
Beginning where you are as a leadership skill
Key Takeaway:You don’t have to force clarity to move forward. When you show up with honesty, take aligned action, and release what isn’t yours to control, that is more than enough.

Today I’m revisiting a special conversation with one of my teachers, Ron Wells. I’ve studied around the world with Ron and his wife, Marianne—over 500 hours of yoga school credentials—and Coffee & Crystals was actually born during one of their trainings in Costa Rica.
This episode was recorded back in 2022, when I was brand new to podcasting and honestly so nervous to have Ron on. We talked sutras, his journey after a heart attack, and… a little bit of everything else.
Tune into this repost as we get ready for Sutra & Sht — Part Two.*
