Katie Hess may be known for her flower power message with her flower elixir company LOTUSWEI, but behind the soft beauty is a powerhouse conscious leader. After spending 12 years transforming people’s lives with one-on-one flower elixir therapy consultations and seeing astounding results, she knew she wanted to bring it to the next level to impact millions of people.

Conscious leadership and what it has to do with honest communication
How plants and flowers are an accessible way to reconnect to nature
Do flower elixirs still work if you're a skeptic?
Transitioning a successful offline business onto social media
How the intention of joy can be the most important element of creating a successful conscious business
How shifting our awareness can expand our perception of reality
How growing a business is like a spiritual path
How choosing to not do trade shows and organizing her own out-of-the-box Flowerlounge events was the best business decision she made

Sah is an embodiment of living a Woke and Wired life, and I am very excited to share this conversation with you! In this episode, we talk about:
