Lisa Simone Richards is the co-founder and CEO of Pearl Spark Pages, a luxury stationery brand designed to help female founders push past imposter syndrome, increase self-confidence, and build thriving businesses through mindful self-reflection.

After 2 decades as a publicist helping women-led startups gain visibility, Lisa found herself grappling with the very challenge she had coached so many founders through—imposter syndrome. Even with years of experience, she recognized how deeply our inner dialogue shapes our reality, influencing how we show up in business and in life.

Determined to shift that narrative, she developed a journalling framework to help women entrepreneurs cultivate confidence, self-trust, and authenticity. This became the foundation of Pearl Spark Pages.

Through beautifully designed paper products, Lisa’s mission is to empower female founders to embrace their true potential—one page at a time.

These are the questions Shay & I have been asking for a while, which is why HeartMath has piqued our interest.

And to break it all down for us, we brought back a podcast guest of ours, Michael Sipe (whose previous episode is one of our most downloaded ones, ever - for good reason!) because he does an incredible job at explaining and exploring the intersection of science & spirituality.

And that’s kinda where HeartMath falls in.

HeartMath is a non-profit that’s scientifically researching the effects of heart & brain coherence. And from that research, they’ve been able to develop tools & training to help us elevate our emotional state, while ultimately reducing stress & improving our well-being.

It’s really cool to see the data backing up what a lot of ancient teachings & spiritual practices have known for a while.

We promise, this is a rabbit hole worth exploring & we’re excited to share this episode with you! 😊

➡️ What is HeartMath?

➡️ “Heart-centered” isn’t just a phrase, it’s science

➡️ The critical impact that the heart has on improving resiliency

➡️ Heart & brain coherence

➡️ How the HeartMath device works

➡️ Developing skills to move through stress in just 5 minutes a day

➡️ How easily subtle stress adds up

➡️ Demo of walking through a HeartMath practice -Timestamp -  1:04:40

➡️ Gamifying the process of coherence

Her knowledge & passion for this system is truly inspiring, and I bet if you didn’t know about Gene Keys until this episode, you’re gonna be running to grab your profile before the conversation ends.

Natashia’s journey of being an entrepreneur in this online space is one that a LOT of us can resonate with. A little over a year ago, she found herself stuck, lost, and completely out of love with her business (not an ideal place to be when you work for yourself lol).

But it was from that place that she was truly able to learn how to come home to herself; which included getting clear on her mission & vision, and gaining confidence in how she shows up in the world.

What we love so much about Natashia is that she’s willing to be super transparent, while laughing & dropping nuggets of wisdom along the way.

If you’re looking for a conversation that’s going to inspire you to come back to YOU, regardless of how that path looks, you’re going to love this episode!

Enjoy! ☺️

(This is our second interview w/ Natashia. If you want to listen to the first one, it’s episode #06: Being an Empath & Following Your Intuition to 6 Figures in Business With Natashia Mack)

➡️ Natashia’s journey of hiring business coaches & how everything brought her back to what really matters 

➡️ Where to start when you’re feeling stuck 

➡️ How we see the online business world shifting in 2024

➡️ Examples of how one opportunity leads to another

➡️ The difference in confidence levels when speaking online vs. in-person 

➡️ The true power of word of mouth, even in small towns

➡️ Taking action & proving your brain wrong

➡️ Being open to other possibilities & building a business that feels fun for you, regardless of how it looks to other people 

➡️ Shifting perspectives to start tapping deeper into yourself

She is passionate about bringing people together with her large group reading events, helping others experience their passed loved ones all over again by being a vessel for their presence, personality, and healing messages, and teaching others to trust their intuition in a grounded way.

LaShonda is truly a breath of fresh air in this online & digital creator space. Her approach is focused on BALANCE; working less & living more. And that’s def not something you hear too often from other full-time content creators lol

In this conversation, we pulled back the curtain on what it takes to create content on your OWN terms, whether that’s a full-time thing, like LaShonda, or creating content online for marketing purposes as a business owner.

We bounce around ideas between strategy & doing the outer work, while also tying that together with energetics & the inside work.

It’s truly a fantastic episode filled with different perspectives & the deeper layers of combining the online world, with the off-line world.

We hope you enjoy! ☺️

➡️ LaShonda’s journey of becoming a content creator 

➡️ Building confidence in sharing your thoughts & going with the flow

➡️ How to take the pressure off having to grow your business online

➡️ Balancing your online & offline presence 

➡️ What brands *really* want when they’re considering working with a creator 

➡️ Embracing rejection on both sides of a collaboration 

➡️ Being relational vs. social 

➡️ Not so secret “secret” of becoming a successful content creator on ANY platform 

➡️ The benefit of growing slow 

➡️ Anchoring into storytelling & who you ARE

For both me & Shay, Human Design has completely changed the way we make decisions, how we interact with each other and the people around us, AND how we approach our careers & business.

We wanted to bring our guest, Adriana, on the podcast because we LOVE how practical & approachable she makes Human Design, especially in a business sense.

Because at the end of the day, if you want to get the most JUICE out of Human Design, in life or business, you have to stop focusing on *just* the learning of it, and instead start leaning deeper into the INTEGRATION of it.

During this convo, we dive into so many different aspects of Human Design, including decision-making, what to pay attention to, what questions to ask yourself, how to apply things in a practical way, and so much more…

We hope you enjoy! ☺️

➡️ Adriana’s journey of finding & using Human Design 

➡️ Human Design vs. other systems (astrology, enneagram, etc)

➡️ What’s your Authority in HD & what does it mean?

➡️ What’s your Strategy in HD & how can you use it? 

➡️ Using HD to make more aligned decisions in business (and life)

➡️ Using HD in relationships 

➡️ Deconditioning and what that means 

➡️ Ways to self-reflect and explore your subconscious 

➡️ Using your profile lines to help steer your business & marketing

We’ve been exploring what “spirituality” means to us, behind the scenes for a long time. And in the downtime between seasons, we’ve been trying to find the words to articulate how we see this podcast moving forward, along with how we see the future of business unfolding…

Big surprise, it’s all connected lol

➡️ Exciting news about the podcast

➡️ What actually IS spirituality?

➡️ Untangling & redefining spirituality (for us)

➡️ Why the future of business is “spiritual” & what that means

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

In a world that expects educators to give MORE...Taylor is always there to remind you that MORE is not required to be a successful educator. She believes that intentionality, best practices, connection, and the permission to have FUN are vital keys to student success in adult learning settings.

When she isn’t educating: Tay can be found playing Uno with her husband and daughter, finishing a thriller book in 24 hours, cuddling with her puppy, planning her next beach vacation, or making dance videos to post on Instagram.

His background includes many more rigid & structured ways of being, like military training, being an airline pilot, engineering, and being an advisor in the corporate world (among many other things).

But what he ended up learning through the journey of it all, is that the true power lies within harnessing your intuition, and focusing on curiosity & collaboration.

This conversation includes SO many knowledge bombs, perspective shifts, and “ah-ha” moments. We’re super excited to share it with you.
