How do you have faith when finances are low, you're in dire straits... you look at your bank account, and you don't know how you will make rent this month?
Or as an entrepreneur, how can you continue to take risks, emotionally + financially when you have to support your family?
With 2020 behind us, I wanted to kick off 2021 on a HIGH note with my first special guest on the show, my husband, Ryan Silverman, who will join me in sharing our story of how I stepped away from 6-figures in Silicon Valley with NOTHING but faith, and enough money to live on for a few months.
What kept us going, despite the odds, financially, and from the fears projected from our family + friends?
How did Ryan's emotional support help fuel the first year of my business to set the stage for future success?
Ryan and I uncover our secrets through story, and 3 tangible tips to inspire you to take action today in shifting your money story to start or FUEL your biz growth in 2021 and beyond!

Ep 5: The Unspoken Miracles of 2020
In the most engaged post in my FB community of 2020, I asked, “Let’s start a thread of good things that happened to you in 2020?”
In a year that has brought us more panic at times than any sense of joy, I was taken back by the LOVE that poured through this post. This love brought to light the first unspoken miracle of 2020, that of perspective.
Each day, YOU get to choose your perspective, the lens with which you see the world, your life, and how you relate to the chaos around you.
This episode unlocks a fresh perspective to close out 2020 to find the “catalyst” from these challenges...to ask yourself 3 powerful questions that will not only help you look back, but move forward with a guided sense of HOPE for 2021.
- How have you felt uprooted this year?
- What was this taught you about yourself?
- Knowing this, what will you bring into 2021?
Tune in to learn more about the concept of Kensho, which in Japanese and Zen traditions translates to Ken, which means “seeing, and sho, which is “Nature” which is cultivated from a place of suffering, challenges, and pain that pushes you to find the passion within your pain. It is our Soul’s way of calling on you to grow.
As I always say, your pain is your passion. It’s time to find out why.
Let your passions come ALIVE as we reflect back on 2020 together, and bring light to a dawn rising in 2021!
