As a spiritual CEO for high-achieving business owners, Emma works on the energetic aspects to help her clients shift. In this episode, Emma shares that she’s a 12th-generation Quaker (She’s even a Quaker minister). Coming from this heritage, Emma was DEEPLY ingrained to give her month away, and not want for much. As a coach struggling to pay her bills, Emma decided that she could not be in her gifts if she couldn’t pay her electricity bill! This show chronicles her journey and gives tools for how to break through if you have any issues about being spiritual and wanting to have a lot of money. Like many on this journey, Emma also had people in her life push back on her desire to make a great living. (Maybe you have experienced this as well.) There are many layers to this. First, our identity gets involved. Who are we with money? What would it mean if we stepped out of the level we are at and step into wealth? There is so much work to do here, and you will hear Emma’s story of how she broke through this. You will love the story of when Emma was sick, TRUSTED her body’s wisdom, and the need to surrender, and brought in $87k by staying in bed! And what kind of permission can we give ourselves? This is a huge one, as many who didn’t have exposure to wealth and have been “indoctrinated” to believe that money is bad, how do we give permission to have and be more? We speak a lot about this in this episode. You will hear how Emma has broken free from the old paradigm of struggle and suffering. It’s quite empowering!

In this episode of "Transform With Therese," Beth Nelson is coached around creating a new offer. Beth has taken her work in a new direction. Previously working with midlife women, she woke up to the fact that she's been a high-performance athlete, and so decided to help the women she knows who are super driven, often high performers, motivated to hustle, grind and succeed...but at a very high cost. Initially, the focus of the session was on helping Beth understand the value of her newest program. (She's done this work for years, but since the format is new, she wanted to make sure she understood the value of it and priced it appropriately. But along the way, Therese discovered that Beth didn't have a value problem...she had a messaging problem! What she thought the deliverables were for her new audience were actually way off track. You'll see how when the messaging is aligned, it can light someone up! Beth instantly sees where she was missing the mark and got really happy when the right words and desired state for her new market was revealed. There are lots of wonderful teaching examples in this one, so make sure you listen! Beth Nelson has enjoyed a lifetime of taking herself to the edge through sports and movement. Her rigorous physical training for long-distance triathlons and running races helped her to harness new levels of power in all areas of her life: personal and professional.

Melisa helps women access the most powerful version of themselves, which often requires a lot of “unbecoming.” Focusing on a “whole women's” approach, Melisa dives into her own journey of reclaiming her feminine energy as an approach to healing and wholeness. She shares a story of a recent diagnosis of a possible cancerous tumor on her ovary. She was scheduled for surgery but took time to try to heal herself naturally. At the same time, she had also hired a coach to massively scale her business. And then she’s told she may have ovarian cancer. So she took the time to get quiet and was guided to call on her ancestors. She connected with and healed old money stories from all the women from her past. She began to see that the old beliefs of “money/business aren’t spiritual” and where it was connected in her past. There are many sad and disempowering stories from the women in her family, so Melisa knows that there are always layers and layers which take work to release. If you believe that you can heal ancestral wounds, you will love hearing this story. It’s a beautiful demonstration of taking back power and stepping even more into your power. Melisa gives a ton of information about how to tap into the things you need to discover. Maybe it’s ancestral healing, maybe it’s what your heart wants, and always, it shows you what you can let go of, and what you can step into as well. In fact, during this journey of healing, Melisa doubled her income twice…all while doing tremendous inner/growth work, without hustling. This is how the feminine energy can support you in many, many ways. If healing and running your life in feminine energy matter to you, you will want to listen to Melisa’s episode. Melisa Keenan is CEO, a keynote speaker, and an International and USA Today Bestselling Author. After investing nearly $200K in certifications and training, plus overcoming traumatic relationship experiences, Melisa understands the female CEO feeling trapped in the masculine.

In this episode, Therese shares a story of how following her intuition led her to the next/right level of support for her to take that next level she is stepping into. From setting an intention 3 months prior, to getting the little clues, to saying yes, you will hear Therese talk about how we are always supported, and our souls are guiding us on the journey. The Universe has things laid out for us, and to take advantage of the Divine Order and Timing, you need to say yes...even when it's not clear why that’s being asked of you! There are elements of faith and surrender that are present, and necessary. You also need to be willing to check your ego at the door and allow help and support to gift you what is there. This episode will inspire you, give you hope, and normalize having a life that is led by guidance versus trying to figure things out by yourself. It’s a much easier way to live! Connect with Therese.

Rachael is a brand strategist gone wild who helps rebels, revolutionaries, and businesses who burn the rulebook to build epic, unforgettable brands online. In this episode, you will hear the story of how Rachael (aka RKA) “set her business on fire.” A year ago she hit a crossroads where she had a crisis of faith by seeing the downside of the marketing industry, so she endeavored to do things in a different way. As she spent time on Instagram in her stories, she began sharing the truth about what happens in the background of what we may not be seeing. We talk about the bad practices in the industry and the high cost of this. If you have ever wondered about the celebrity brand names behind the scenes, you’ll get a glimpse. Rachael took to Insta and started revealing things that most people only whisper about. She got so many others following her who had felt the same things but didn’t know what to do with it. What’s unique about her position is that Rachael named names. She had the courage to show up and share bad practices as she saw them. As a result, she suffered huge consequences. She lost many business relationships, as well as clients and money. The business she had spent 12 years building, was almost gone. You’ll appreciate how even though she was quite persecuted online, she made it through. We also talk about the “branded version” of herself. Through the process of burning down her business, she had quite the dark knight of the soul moment where she got to discover who she truly was and what she wanted. This is a story of having the courage to follow your deep knowing, being willing to walk through the fire for the truth, and what good comes on the other side. You’ll hear the strength, the new growth, and the how to do this. Rachael Kay Albers is a creative director and brand strategist for businesses that burn the rulebook. When she's not helping rebels and revolutionaries set fire to the box they were told to think outside of, she writes about the intersection of branding, pop culture, tech, and identity. Rachael is also a stand-up comedian and hosts a business comedy show using sketch and storytelling to teach about entrepreneurship in the Internet age. Get the U-Factor!

In this episode, Therese talks about the concept of “differentiation.” She pulls from her therapist days and explains what it means to hold onto yourself in the face of another person’s experience. What happens quite often is that we take on the feelings of others. So, if there is conflict, tension, potential for anger, etc., it’s easy to want to manage that or control the other person’s response. But at what cost? For example, if you are a business owner and have a desire to raise your rates, projecting onto your client how much they will be upset or feel hurt by this will make you crazy and likely prevent you from making more money because you envision the conversation being challenging. The “work” is to be able to communicate assertively, hold onto yourself, and NOT worry about how someone else will respond to you. Therese talks about leadership and how to strengthen your ability to take charge, say what you feel, and move forward, knowing your truth, versus backing down so as not to ruffle feathers. There are tools that will allow you to be self-regulated, so that you can be your powerful self. Knowing these will allow you to stay feel in control of yourself, be even more sovereign, and avoid a boatload of overwhelm, or other emotionally charged states. BTW- this isn’t just a “therapy” concept! It has to do with all the personal interactions you have in business and life. You will hear the path out of getting too activated emotionally.

(This is a replay of episode 54 published in August 2021) In this episode, Therese shares what she considers the “curse” or some of the challenges of being an Alpha woman in your business. (BTW – if you don’t like the word Alpha, substitute “high achiever” or “driven” instead.) The downside of being powerful in this way may be elusive to you. While it’s amazing to be able to be brilliant, work hard, and focus on your goals, there can be a huge cost if you don’t do it right. Therese talks about what fuels the drive for achievement. Often times it’s a desire to do good in the world, or follow your soul’s mission, but what if the drive comes from unmet or unknown needs, childhood wounds, or something else that isn’t quite healthy? Truth is, it’s usually a mix of both. That’s why these are so tricky to find and release. In addition to the three places where the ‘curse’ is showing up, Therese also gives the way out. Listen as she gives powerful and transformative tools to navigate this so that you can be the most sovereign, amazing light that you are meant to be!

(This is a replay of episode 65 published in November 2021) If you are looking to have more impact and income, you will definitely want to listen to this episode where Therese talks about how trauma can hold you back in both of these areas. Most of us think of trauma as the "Big T trauma's" like rape or witnessing an horrific event. But research is now showing that the "small "t" traumas can cause huge challenges in later life because for most of us, we have no idea how they are still impacting us all these years later. Therese shares some personal stories (being picked last in school because she was a sickly child) and how that set her up with a trauma response. Trauma is so subtle, that most of us don’t recognize how it shows up, and when it does, it can slow down your progress, get in the way of you making the money you want, and even prevent you from reaching the people you know you are here to reach. You will hear the three reasons that haven’t reached your potential that will blow you away! (Most of these things are hidden or unconscious, so listen as Therese uncovers what they are.) Then you’ll hear the top tips to release the trauma so you can move forward and be in more of a state of freedom. Ultimately, to live our fiercely brilliant lives, we must learn how to navigate our past, so this episode is very helpful in helping you let go!

There's power in mid-life if you tap into it. On the outside, it looked like Jennifer Arthurton had it the dream life. A very successful corporate career, a beautiful house, lots of travel, and a super fit body. But coming into her 50th year, she found herself in the position of losing it all. She got divorced, lost her job, her daughter went to college, and to top it off, she got extremely sick for months, so that body she worked so hard for had even failed her. In this episode, we share how a woman's identity and sense of purpose get tied up in who she can please and what she can accomplish. Jennifer shares her story of literally being on her back for months, until one day, she decided to go inward and see if she could learn who she was beyond what she was producing. This started her healing journey. The show talks about the mid-life woman's journey and how there is so much available to women in this time of life, but you have to get past the proving energy and people-pleasing that drove many of us. Jennifer Arthurton is the creator, and founder of Old Chicks Know Sh*t, a community and podcast (of the same name) designed to inspire and support midlife women in chasing their dreams and creating their kick-ass next chapter. In addition, Jennifer is an empowerment coach, podcast host, writer, and speaker.

Dawni is a life coach who specializes in helping people align with their core values. She had a childhood filled with poverty and abuse, and yet she was a spiritual seeker from the time she was young and has always been interested in personal growth. She was trapped with the mindset of “this is the life I SHOULD” live by following her family tradition. We talk about the difference between what you inherited and then the world you can create. The goal is to break out of the inherited world to create the life your soul wants. We also talk about the role of childhood trauma and how it affects us today. Dawni shared that she used to “justify” her choices by attaching them to a trauma response. The goal is to work through the trauma, own its impact, but not get defined by it or allow yourself to be run by it. Dawni asks a very potent question – “Am I more powerful than what has happened to me?” This will help you determine who you want today. You will hear Dawni share about her “waking up” from the dream life she inherited. She had the look-good life on paper, was doing everything right, but was miserable. She hated the life she had created, so had to allow the dream to shatter. It took tremendous courage to leave, and Dawni shares how she initially tried to not hurt anyone, still look good, but after almost 5 years, she realized she could not break free in this way of still trying to please others. So she had choose herself and chose real over ideal. Dawni Angel believes she was a weird kid. From a very young age she read everything she could get her hands on that talked about human behavior. According to neuroscientists, we are conscious of only about 5 percent of our cognitive activity, and Dawni's life’s obsession is to raise that 5 percent in herself and others. That way people can understand themselves deeply, thereby maximizing their strengths and ability to create consciously. Dawni's background is in public speaking, entrepreneurial coaching, and deep conversations over high quality coffee. She's passionate about teaching core values, the free market, assisting businesses in being sustainably successful, and being the glitch she wants to see in the matrix.

When Jeff's wife got cancer six years ago, this diagnosis woke him up to the fact that healthcare is not designed to heal but to make money. So, Jeff and his wife took the journey to try to save her life. They went to Germany, healed her cancer naturally, and when he started talking about it on social media, was told that he should make a film about it. That film, Cancer Can Be Killed, Natural Ways of Curing Cancer – got made and then got taken down. We talk about censorship and how we have to find our own answers. Jeff had to do something bigger than he’d ever been as he saw the misinformation and suffering out there. He created a film to discuss the mind/body connection and how trauma creates disease. Making it even more special, Jeff decided to allow himself to be in front of the camera. He knew that he had to share his story to be the change he knows is possible. Sadly, after 4 years, his wife’s cancer returned. In his research, Jeff found that his wife’s unresolved trauma was the factor in creating the return of cancer. The story of the “healing” his wife went through is a beautiful one. She unhooked from the trauma and had peace at the end. After she died Jeff did his own healing work. He looked at his part in his wife’s death and dove into healing his own past trauma. This is a beautiful episode where Jeff shares his very real and authentic journey. You will hear the story of how his movie Beliefs and Stories was created. He also did something few filmmakers do. He told his story on camera. He shares his story of dealing with 5year old sexual abuse and how he healed it, and also how he forgave himself for his wife’s death. This is such a soulful episode. Jeff’s healing journey will touch you. This is an empowering conversation if you believe in natural health, healing, and being a sovereign being, you will really enjoy this.
