Ever felt like a total failure? Like the universe has just thrown you into the deep end with no floaties? Same.

In this episode, we dive into the messy, gut-wrenching side of business. The part no one puts on Instagram. The setbacks, the self-doubt, and those moments where giving up feels easier than pushing forward.

We chat about:

• Why failure isn’t actually the end (even when it bloody feels like it)
• How to reframe setbacks as stepping stones
• The spiritual lessons hidden in your biggest flops
• Letting go of the shame and trusting yourself again

You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on failure—one that doesn’t make you want to crawl under a rock.

So, if you're in a rough patch or just need a reminder that you're not alone, this one's for you.

Tune in and let’s navigate the chaos together.

Welcome back, gorgeous ones! Today, we're diving into the magic of birth—not just babies, but ideas, projects, and creations. It's all about co-creating with Mother Nature, leaning into intuition, and letting go of the pressure to make everything perfect.

What We Chat About:

✨ Birth as a co-creation—not just a physical thing but an energetic process
✨ Letting go of perfectionism and control
✨ The stress around pregnancy, IVF, and the pressure to get it “right”
✨ The way society has turned birth and even sex into another task on the to-do list
✨ Trusting your body, your instincts, and your own timing
✨ Why Stacey isn’t sharing her due date with anyone
✨ Breaking free from information overload and tuning into your intuition

Whether you’re thinking about having a baby, birthing a business, or just trying to live with more flow, this convo is for you. It’s not about having all the answers—it’s about shifting perspectives and getting comfy with the unknown.

We’re unpacking the ways we’ve been conditioned to push, force, and plan every detail, and instead, learning to trust that things unfold exactly as they should. No more people-pleasing. No more outsourcing our decisions. Just deep self-trust and alignment.

Hit play and let’s dive in! 💫

Hey legends, welcome back! This episode is all about the cosmic dance between trusting the universe and making sh*t happen for yourself. Ané and Stacey dive deep into the fine line between surrendering to the flow and stepping up to take action.

🔥 In This Episode, We Chat About:

• Eclipse energy, retrogrades, and why this is the perfect time to reflect and rewire
• When “trusting the universe” turns into avoiding hard choices
• Building self-trust and knowing when to say YES (and when to say HELL NO)
• The challenge of setting boundaries—especially when people-pleasing is the easy way out
• How to navigate external pressures, from business decisions to hospital visits (yep, Stacey’s got a personal story)
• Making the hard choices now so life flows easier later

💡 Big Takeaway:
Trust isn’t just about surrender—it’s a practice. The more you flex your decision-making muscles, the easier it gets to balance intuition with action.
