I took the leap and created a podcast. It’s equal parts terrifying, exhilerating, and totally fulfilling!

Welcome to The SoulBiz BFF, the podcast where you get to connect with your best friend who’s also a soulpreneur business coach! Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur, just starting out, or somewhere in between, this podcast is all about helping you create a business that’s deeply aligned with who you are—authentic, purposeful, and soul-nourishing.

In the very first episode, I’m sharing my personal story of how I became what I like to call The Accidental Entrepreneur. It wasn’t something I had planned for, but looking back, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t have a clear roadmap or found yourself stumbling into entrepreneurship, trust me—you’re not alone. And it’s more than okay. This episode is about embracing the unexpected twists and turns that come with being a soulpreneur and how those “accidental” moments can lead to something incredibly aligned and fulfilling.

Why ‘Accidental Entrepreneur’?

We often hear the term “entrepreneur” tossed around as if it’s a title you’re born with or a path that’s carefully mapped out. But for many of us, the journey is anything but linear. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t “plan” on being an entrepreneur, or maybe the idea of owning a business seemed like something that just happened over time rather than a big dream you had, you’re not alone.

The truth is, most entrepreneurs don’t start with a roadmap. They start with a spark—a passion, a desire, a need, or a moment of clarity that leads them to take action. Maybe it’s a side hustle that turns into something bigger, or a hobby that becomes a business. For me, it was a combination of intuition, curiosity, and a desire to create something meaningful in the world.

In the first episode, I share how I ended up in this space, weaving together stories from my journey, including unexpected detours, moments of fear, and plenty of “what was I thinking?” realizations. But the thing is, each of these moments led me here, to SoulBiz BFF—to this moment where I get to help others navigate their own path to creating a soul-aligned business.

Embracing the Journey

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned along the way is that the entrepreneurial journey isn’t about following a strict formula—it’s about finding your own path and embracing what feels true to you. I talk about this in the episode because I know how easy it is to get caught up in the comparison game. Social media is filled with success stories, hustle culture, and perfectly curated entrepreneurial journeys that can make you feel like you’re falling behind if you don’t have everything figured out. But here’s the truth: no one has it all figured out. And that’s okay.

The moment I started leaning into my intuition and trusting my energy was the moment I began to build the business I’ve always wanted—not the business I thought I was “supposed” to have. SoulBiz BFF is a direct reflection of that shift. It’s not about chasing after someone else’s idea of success, but rather about creating something that’s aligned with your soul, your values, and your unique gifts.

The Accidental Path to Alignment

We don’t often hear the phrase “soul-aligned business” when we talk about entrepreneurship, but that’s exactly what I want to share with you in this podcast. For me, being a soulpreneur means more than just starting a business—it’s about aligning my energy with my purpose and creating a space where authenticity, connection, and joy thrive.

In The Accidental Entrepreneur episode, I explore how I moved from a place of uncertainty to a place of alignment by tuning into my human design, my values, and the deep knowing that my journey was meant to unfold exactly as it was. It wasn’t always easy or clear, but it was mine.

I share a few key insights from my journey, including:

  • Trusting Your Intuition: This isn’t just about business decisions; it’s about aligning your day-to-day choices with your inner truth. When you begin to trust your gut, you start attracting the right opportunities and people into your life and business. I talk about how I learned to listen to my inner wisdom and let it guide me.
  • Embracing the Unexpected: The “accidental” part of the journey is often where the magic happens. I never planned on becoming a business coach, but here I am—and I wouldn’t change a thing. Sometimes, the best opportunities come from the unexpected detours. I encourage you to stay open to the possibility that your path may be much more flexible than you think.
  • The Power of Being Authentic: In this episode, I dive into how embracing who I truly am—both the light and the messy parts—allowed me to build a business that felt fulfilling, meaningful, and deeply aligned. Authenticity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the foundation of a business that lasts.
