Today’s episode I got to sit down with my friend Vanessa Kavulish, someone I connected with back in 2024 and continue to grow alongside in such a real and meaningful way.

When I think about the last year, and how much both of us have evolved in our businesses, our identities, and even our friendship, this conversation captures all of it.

We talk about what it means to grow intentionally… not just in business, but in your relationships, your energy, and the way you choose who gets access to you.

We’ve both been in seasons of learning to nurture the right people, honor our bandwidth, and let go of the “golden retriever” version of ourselves that befriended everyone and tried to hold it all.

Vanessa also shares what it’s been like to evolve as a Human Design manifesting generator, a multi-passionate entrepreneur, and someone who genuinely loves to build.

We dive deep into:

• Fear, discomfort, and “the edge” — and how to know when it’s a loving push vs. a misaligned yes.
• Why some people thrive with multiple passions and why that’s a gift, not a flaw.
• The truth about consulting vs. fractional vs. coaching, and why consulting is such a powerful support system for founders.

It’s honest, energizing, and such a reminder that we are all allowed to grow, shift, and re-choose as many times as we need.
