What happens when a business becomes a vehicle for awakening?

Troy Hadeed is living the answer. In this episode, the author of My Name is Love, Zen yoga teacher and soulful entrepreneur from Trinidad & Tobago, shares how he blends devotion, vulnerability, and leadership in the way he builds and stewards community.

He’s not just teaching yoga—he’s redefining success, surrendering control, and showing what it means to serve something greater than self. We discuss the tension between heart and profitability, why letting go is sometimes the most loving move, and how to build a business that remains true to its soul.

• The emotional rollercoaster of stepping back as a founder
• How to find a general manager who won’t kill your vibe—or your mission
• The difference between self-help and self-realization
• Turning used cooking oil into profit (and peace of mind)

Can you build a thriving business and be a present parent?

In this inspiring episode, Dr. Anne WelsH, a clinical psychologist, executive coach, and mom of four, shares how she turned her values into a vibrant, heart-led career. From her early days at Harvard to creating her own private practice, Anne opens up about what it really takes to juggle ambition and motherhood, leave the insurance model behind, charge what you're truly worth, and navigate perfectionism without losing your identity.

Her story is a refreshing and empowering reminder that you don’t have to choose between purpose and profit—you can absolutely have both.

🎧Are you a therapist, coach, working mom, or heart-led entrepreneur? This episode is full of real talk and smart insights to help you build a business that truly fits your life and values.

• The truth about building a “portfolio career” that balances passion, profit, and parenting
• Why heart-led business owners struggle to charge their worth—and how to change that
• The magic of community and why going solo doesn’t mean going it alone
