If you’ve ever hit a point where your business growth stops feeling good, this episode is for you. Fractional CFO and financial strategist Jenn Baas (aka Zen Jenn) joins me to unpack the hidden reasons growth becomes stressful, why so many entrepreneurs feel shame about money, and how to create sustainable financial success without burnout. We talk about the emotional and energetic side of business finances, how big assumptions drive over-expansion, and what it really takes to build a profitable business that also feels peaceful and aligned. 📝 Top 3 Takeaways from the Episode: 1️⃣ When Growth Serves a Big Assumption, It Leads You Off Course: Sometimes the drive to grow comes from an unconscious belief that bigger means better or that success will finally make you feel safe, worthy, or free. We explore how these hidden money beliefs can drive over-investment and create misaligned decisions that drain both your finances and energy. 2️⃣ Shame Keeps You Stuck, Awareness and Compassion Move You Forward: Financial shame thrives in secrecy. Jenn shares how to move from judgment to curiosity so you can manage your money with clarity and confidence. You’ll learn how to release guilt, rebuild trust with your numbers, and take small steps toward financial alignment. 3️⃣ Build a Healthy Business First and Let Growth Be the Byproduct: Sustainable business growth starts with a healthy foundation. When your business is financially organized, emotionally grounded, and energetically aligned, expansion happens naturally. Focus on creating stability and your growth will follow. 🎧 Related episodes you’ll love: Episode 47: The Journey from Compliance-based Bookkeeping to Powerful Finance-driven Business Decisions with Accountant Jenn Baas  Episode 49: Finding the Right Financial Experts for Your Team and Your Role as the Business Owner with Jenn Baas Wondering how coaching could support you?
