In today’s episode, I’m joined by one of my coaching clients and long-time friend Rana, a wildly talented portrait photographer who has built a multi–six-figure business over the past 17 years. We originally met over a decade ago, but this past year inside coaching is where I’ve watched her expand, heal, and transform in the most powerful ways.

Rana came into coaching with an already successful business, a thriving family, and a full life… but everything felt fine. Not bad. Not broken. Just fine. And she knew she wanted more.

Inside this episode, we talk about what it actually takes to turn a “fine” life into a favorite one and how Rana moved her entire Favorite Life Wheel from scattered scores to almost all 9s and 10s in under a year.

We explore:

✨ How a successful business can still feel misaligned
✨ Why she walked away from a $50K+/year coaching role that drained her energy
✨ The moment she realized she’d been avoiding sadness and how allowing it changed her marriage, her motherhood, and her emotional wellbeing
✨ The subconscious blocks she cleared in minutes during our sessions
✨ Her shift from forcing things out of obligation to choosing only what feels like a “hell yes”
✨ How she re-entered coaching on her own terms with her new Coffee & Clarity Sessions
✨ What a 9–10 life actually feels like in real time
✨ Why she chose to continue coaching even after her wheel became full of 9s and 10s

This episode is a deep, honest look at alignment, courage, energy management, and the quiet ways we sabotage our own satisfaction. Rana shares openly about motherhood, marriage, ADHD, and the brave decisions she made to reclaim her time, her energy, and her joy.

If you’ve ever felt like your life is “fine” but not your favorite, this conversation will show you what’s possible and how quickly things can shift when you stop shrinking and start aligning.
