Christine Coughlin, founder of YVR Creatives and community builder for female entrepreneurs, went full tilt in spring 2025—hosting multiple events a week, showing up everywhere, looking like the definition of success. 

Then she hit a wall. Hard. 

In this episode, Christine shares what entrepreneurial burnout actually looks like when you're living out of integrity with your values, how she recognized the signs her body was giving her, and what it takes to rebuild your business around what actually matters (even when your mentors tell you to slow down and you want to scream). 

This episode is for anyone building a business while juggling family, questioning if they're doing "enough," or wondering why success feels so damn heavy. Because sometimes the most radical thing you can do is hit pause. If you're a mom building a business, a content creator drowning in the pressure to post, or an entrepreneur who looks successful on paper but feels like a mess behind the scenes—this conversation will make you feel less alone.

In this episode, I sit down with astrologer Jess Ellen to dive deep into astrocartography—the practice of using your birth chart to find locations around the world that can activate different parts of your personality and support your goals.

Whether you're planning a six-month soul-searching journey (like me) or just curious about why certain places make you feel more creative, confident, or centered, this conversation will blow your mind.

We cover everything from how to read those crazy lines on your astrocartography chart to what happens when you're living somewhere with no major planetary lines. Jess breaks down the difference between breadth and depth when it comes to location hopping, shares stories about Mars lines and honeymoon planning, and explains how to integrate the insights you gain from traveling to your power places.

If you've ever felt called to make a big move but didn't know where to go, this episode is your reminder to trust that intuition—and maybe even find the cosmic coordinates to back it up.

Mentioned in this episode:

• How astrocartography works and what those lines actually mean
• The difference between MC, IC, AC, and DC lines and what they activate
• Why longer stays create deeper psychological shifts
• How to choose between exploring multiple lines vs. going deep on one
• What to do when you don't have major lines where you currently live
• Integration practices for when you return from your power places

I was supposed to come to you with 36 perfectly packaged truths for my 36th birthday, channeling my inner Grandmother Willow energy. But here's the thing - I don't have 36 neat little wisdom nuggets for you.

What I do have is this messy, real-time reflection on what it actually looks like to navigate life when you're still figuring shit out. And this feels way more honest.

In this episode, I'm processing out loud about the voices I've silenced (including my homesickness for SEVEN YEARS), why I've been hiding from my business content, and how a recent situationship taught me to ask for what I want unapologetically - in dating AND everywhere else.

This birthday episode it's me demonstrating exactly what I teach: that your voice is how you process, claim, and own your story. Even when that story is about being scared, hiding, or not having it all figured out at 36.

In this episode:

• Why being told you're "too loud" might actually be your superpower
• The connection between silencing your homesickness and silencing your voice
• How I've been hiding from my business (while creating business content by processing out loud - the irony!)
• The situationship that taught me to stop asking permission for what I want
• Why this messy reflection IS the content
• Permission to start before you have all the answers

Charly Stoever is a formerly undocumented, Latinx, queer, non-binary money coach who completely changed my perspective about wealth building. While most of us are waiting to make six figures before we can "start living," Charly reverse-engineered their dream life on less than what most people pay in rent.

In this episode, Charly shares how they have been able to live rent-free in places like Seattle and Paris using an app that costs $120/year, the “boring” investment strategy that built a $200K net worth, and how one of their clients found $141,000 she didn't even know she had.

But here's what Instagram doesn't show you—the real emotional cost of living differently than everyone around you, and why building wealth can sometimes feel lonely and sad.

If you want to twerk your way to early retirement, you need to hear this conversation.

✨Mentioned in this episode:

• The $120/year app that can replace rent entirely (Trusted House Sitters)
• Why "boring" index fund investing beats day trading and crypto
• How to find "forgotten" money you might already have
• The emotional reality of building wealth when no one around you gets it

In this solo episode, Mafe gets real about what it's like to be "officially homeless" and navigating a major life transition. From missing her dog Abby (who she calls her true home) to living in a full house after years of having one human roomie, she's learning what it really means to date yourself all over again.

In this episode, we dive into: 

✨ What "dating yourself" looked like before vs. during a major transition

✨ Why your dog might be more "home" than any apartment ever was

✨ How to fall in love with your business ideas (and when to break up with them)

✨ The art of setting boundaries when everything feels chaotic

✨ Building a business that supports the life you actually want - not just any life

✨ Why sometimes you have to leave home to really come back to yourself

This isn't about having it all figured out. It's about showing up messy, honoring what you actually value, and learning that the relationship with yourself becomes everything when life gets chaotic.

Because the only way to figure things out… is to start moving.

Steph Wharton, founder of the Speaker Movement and fellow Latina entrepreneur, completely rewrote the rules of business success. Steph went from seven years of corporate burnout to building a thriving community for underrepresented speakers - all while prioritizing family time and sustainable visibility.

We dive deep into her journey from Argentina to Canada, feeling invisible in white-dominated entrepreneurship spaces, and how she created her own room when she couldn't find where she belonged. This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about hustling, success, and what it actually means to use your voice.

What You'll Learn:

• How to transition from burnout to sustainable business practices
• Why "impact over reach" beats follower counts every time
• The real strategy behind working less while growing more
• How to embrace your speaker era (even without traditional stages)
• Why making your own rules is the ultimate business strategy

In two weeks, I'll be technically homeless, and I've never been more excited. After months of ignoring the universe's whispers about travel, life got LOUD and forced my hand. Now I'm taking my podcast management business on a 6-month adventure across the world to prove to myself that I can really work from anywhere, and that location freedom is something is totally attainable.

This adventure isn't a vacation; it's a real-time case study. Can I really help entrepreneurs build businesses and podcasts that work from anywhere if I haven't tested it myself? From managing client calls across time zones to working from chaotic family homes, I'm documenting the unglamorous truth behind the digital nomad dream.

Sometimes the life you want is on the other side of temporary discomfort. What nudges have you been ignoring?

After leaving Venezuela — not just because of political instability, but also because she couldn’t fully be herself in a culture that felt performative — Mafe spiraled into survival mode. Working obsessively in the service industry and drinking daily to numb the pain of constant change, she lost her sense of stability.

The turning point? A bright yellow book (“You Are a Badass” by Jen Sincero) that sparked the beginning of her self-development journey.

In this episode, Mafe reflects on:

• How losing her mom at 14 shaped her relationship with money, grief, and home
• Why she used to outsource her identity to work, alcohol, and others
• Her decision to leave her apartment of 6.5 years to travel for six months
• What it really means to become your own foundation

This episode explores the universal truth that we are the only constant in our own lives, and the importance of becoming your own foundation rather than seeking belonging externally. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes the biggest act of self-love is learning to be at peace with yourself, wherever you are in the world.

Think of this episode as a voice note from your best friend, because I'm sharing my journey from being a "pros and cons list girl" to trusting my body's wisdom when making decisions.

Don't get me wrong, I still love myself a good list! But living my life through lists meant I ignored my intuitive pull to start a business for YEARS, which led to serious burnout.

In this episode, I'm breaking down my new decision-making trifecta: sensual (how it feels in your body), spiritual (intuitive knowing through human design), and strategic (the logical filter that comes LAST, not first).

Mentioned on this episode:

• (02:00) How a casual conversation at a restaurant bar sparked the idea to become a virtual assistant - and why I initially ignored that bodily "nudge"
• (06:00) The client who changed everything by asking for podcast help, leading to discovering my true calling in the podcasting world
• (11:00) My human design as an emotional generator and how understanding my authority transformed my decision-making process
• (15:00) The burnout and depression that resulted from forcing logical decisions instead of responding to energetic invitations

What if there was a way to approach it that felt as natural as... networking at a business event? What if there was a mindset shift that you could implement today?

This mindset shift is brought to you by a random, funny comment, I made to my best friend while I was getting ready to go on a networking event. A random comment that completely changed the way I view dating. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I reframed dating as networking—and why this simple shift took all the pressure off and made meeting people feel natural again. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, building a business, or just tired of feeling anxious about dating, this reframe will change how you approach connections forever.

⚡Mentioned in the episode:

• Why dating and networking are literally the same process (with different currencies)
• Three game-changing takeaways that will transform how you meet people
• How to approach dating apps like the tools they actually are
• The power of bringing curious energy, instead of desperate energy

This isn't just about dating—it's about reframing how we approach all human connections. And honestly? It might just change your life like it changed mine.

What if the life you were supposed to want never actually fit you?

In this episode, I sit down with Paulette Erato, a fierce, funny, child-free Latina. She’s a speaker, mentor, a true advocate of diversity in media. But our convo goes way beyond that. We talk about what it really means to create a “vida más chévere” — a better, fuller life designed entirely on your own terms.

From breaking generational patterns to tuning out the noise of what everyone else thinks you “should” do, Paulette opens up about choosing self-trust over guilt, joy over obligation, and pleasure over pressure.

Are you going through a big life pivot or just craving more alignment in your life? This episode is your permission slip to rewrite the rules — and maybe even burn the old playbook entirely. 🔥

When was the last time you looked at your podcast like the CEO you are?

Not just the downloads. Not just the content calendar. The bigger picture: Does it still light you up? Is it working for you, or against you?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how The Podcast Reset was born—and the exact 4-step framework that helped me grow my show by 30% without burnout.

This is for the CEO who’s done forcing content and ready to:

☑️ Reconnect with her voice.

☑️ Align her podcast with her business (not just her passion).

☑️ Trade spaghetti-at-the-wall strategies for clarity.

⚡ We break down:

• The ‘why’ behind The Podcast Reset (hint: strategy = self-care).
• How to audit your podcast like a CEO (not a content robot).
• The game-changing shifts that actually move the needle.

Your voice isn’t just a rebellion—it’s a revolution. Time to hit reset.

What do Elaine Archeron (yes, that Elaine from A Court Of Thorns And Roses) and you have in common?

Society has been feeding you the same 3 toxic lies to keep you quiet, and it’s time to call bullsh*t.

In this episode, we’re stabbing the patriarchy (metaphorically… mostly) by dismantling these lies:

1️⃣ "I’m not expert enough" – Expertise is earned by doing, not waiting.

2️⃣ "No one cares" – Wrong. Your people are begging for your voice.

3️⃣ "It’s too late" – Tell that to Vera Wang, Martha Stewart, and your future self.

You’ll also hear:

• Why your "tourist phase" (aka beginner era) is your greatest asset.
• My regrets from taking a year off podcasting—and why inaction hurts A LOT more than failure.
• How to claim your throne without asking permission.

Your voice isn’t just rebellion—it’s your legacy. Now grab your proverbial knife (or mic) and show up.

The episode begins with her decision to move to Canada with her ex-partner, obtaining visas, and making the move in just three months.

After a year in Canada, she decided to stay and continue her education and work journey. She also talks about the financial struggles and uncertainties she faced, navigating through different immigration statuses, and finally obtaining a post-graduation work permit and later permanent residence.

This episode also touches on how she discovered her passion for podcast management and embarked on starting her own business. She reflects on the pivotal moment when she launched her podcast management venture, which ultimately led to the birth of her podcast, "The Spanglish Show with Mafe"

The episode also highlights the emotional aspect of leaving her home country and finding a new sense of belonging in Canada. Mafe candidly shares her ups and downs, including feelings of homesickness and uncertainty, and the support she received from her new friends and community in Canada.

The culmination of her journey comes in 2023 when she finally becomes a Canadian citizen after successfully passing the citizenship test and participating in the ceremony.

The key takeaway from this episode is: if you feel a pull to do something, even if it's scary, go for it. She emphasizes the importance of taking risks, embracing change, and finding the courage to create a new beginning, no matter where life takes you.

Mafe hopes this episode leaves you with a sense of motivation to chase your dreams and embrace life's challenges with determination and optimism.
