I’m going to get real honest here. Every time a beautiful being asked me to be a guest teacher, speaker, or mentor, I ask myself the question, “Am I being asked because I am the handful of BIPOC coaches that they know, and are they trying to round out their guest, so they are seen as allies?” Half of the time, this isn’t the case at all, but it is the question that runs through me and keeps me cautious and highly discerning regarding whom I partner with. Today’s Sacred Business Podcast episode is all about how to invite guests to collaborate with you. Now I get that due to socials being the way they are, it makes you feel as if others are accessible. We tend to be warm, open, and ready to be of service. At the same time, I find myself wanting to make sure that I am respecting people’s time and space. When I receive an invitation in this particular way, I remember the person who has mindfully crafted their introduction, and they will make a lasting impression on me. Listen to today’s episode as I dive into how I invite a guest to collaborate. Let’s take an example like a telesummit. Here is my sacred protocol… I do not create a summit until I feel like I have spent ample time connecting with new and amazing people I call colleagues and possibly new online friends. I’ve done the following because it felt aligned, and I was so excited to get to know their medicine: Listened to several podcasts Attended a summit that was led by them or they were interviewed in Participated in a class, gathering, webinar Subscribed to their podcast Spent sacred time with them at a conference Had a virtual tea date after a mutual friend made an introduction Read their book Done my research Find their email address I do not make my ask via direct, private message Craft an intentional email Open with my vision Share why I love and respect their work - I am specific Share any connections of mutual friends we have I speak about the project in more detail I include guests that are participating My commitment to diversity Explain clearly what I am asking for The amount of time The fact that there are no requirements regarding marketing How we shall meet virtually Any prep work or details I will need before the call A clear outline of dates I invite them to a tea date so they can get to know me better and I can share my intention for this project I give them plenty of time to consider this - typically, I begin this process at least a month or two in advance A Gentle Reminder Having a diverse group of panelists or guest mentors/speakers as part of your program does not highlight the inner work you have done to unpack your privilege. As a woman of color, here is what I am looking for: You know more than 5 of the same BIPOC coaches that are being invited into these spaces. You are doing your research and not taking the easy road of merely asking those that know one another. You amplify the voices and services of others, including BIPOC. You have paid for services or experiences held by a BIPOC and not only to check the box that you’ve done it but because deep within you were called to participate. You have BIPOC clients. I am going to repeat this. Your community consists of BIPOC. This last part is what I believe shows me that your space is safe enough for us to land in. As an invited guest, this is what I am looking for.

Women control $20 trillion in annual consumer spending, and it was estimated in 2009 that this figure would climb to 28 trillion in five years. What if we used our purchasing power to… Be a steward of mother earth Take hold of the patriarchal system and dismantled it from the inside Leverage our purchasing power and redistributed the wealth by giving back to BIPOC and women-owned small businesses Research and give our money to companies and industries that uphold mutual values Ensure our voices were heard Give microloans to businesses who are need of a jump start All the while doing so in money covens, investment circles, service-based communities that value the discussion around money/finance/and abundance. Sora, if we were to come together in a money circle, what questions would we pose? What is money, and why is it valuable? How does currency flow, and can it flow to me with grace? What would I do with the money? How much money do I need and why? Why is generational wealth a way to heal ancestral wounds? Can I co-create money instead of having to “make it” all by myself? Is the construct of money stemmed from the patriarchy, and if so, how do we dismantle it? What does it mean to build new earth with no monetary systems, and is that the way? What does it mean to break the system from within by using financial literacy as a powerful mechanism? Remember. What we purchase matters. Who and what we support matters. Where we spend our money matters. And most importantly - we matter.

For more than 8 years, I’ve been serving womxn around the world, heal their sister wound, remember the magic of circles, and look at business through the eyes of sacred strategies + leadership. Having done so, I am blessed to now celebrate my evolution. I was Sora Surya No. I am now Sora Schilling. Sora Schilling blends business leadership with money coaching and power of insurance as a system to accumulate wealth, be financially secure, live a debt-free life...while living wildly, freely, and joyfully. I believe that our greatest responsibility is to heal our money wound and remember we have the purchasing power and the most significant opportunity to use our money to create change. It is time for us to have financial wellness. I speak about my mission and reveal my new virtual space >>> www.soraschilling.com.

The New Moon, day one of a menstrual bleed, the first day of a new season, can signify a new beginning. As spiritual womxn leaders, we love tapping into the feeling of new beginnings, for it means it is a new dawn, and our explorer-self is ready to seek another adventure. But what happens when our new beginnings take on a different form? It feels vague, unknown, slippery, and intangible? The frequency of this type of new beginning can sometimes feel elusive and therefore scares us. On today’s episode of Sacred Business Podcast, I share my feelings around new beginnings. I believe there are two types, and I’m ready to share it with you when they are. A hint - think new chapter vs. a new book. I don’t know where I’ll go from here, but I’m here. I am here to walk this Priestess path with myself and with you.

Fear gripped me hard. She took hold and wouldn’t let go. She coiled around my energy centers, locked in on vulnerable spaces, and wreaked havoc on my body, mind, and my energy system. My inner voice told me I only had one job: to talk to you - to share what I was feeling, what I was processing, how I was navigating this emotion, and what it was teaching me. If you are feeling afraid, stifled, and paralyzed by fear - may we walk with HER and her sacred medicine together.

In today’s episode, Team Sacred and I speak about what we’ve been working on behind-the-scenes for the past couple of weeks and how excited we are about launching the Sacred Business Collective and providing you with valuable + fun content via a Sacred Business Playbook. All of this is free. Why? Because we believe in serving first and then inviting you to join us for new experiences second. Listen in as I share why I love collaboration, then sneak into a conversation with my team and myself, and then end with solo time - just you and I as I share what the Sacred Business Collective is.

Stop using the Universe as an excuse to not be a Wildly Successful Entrepreneur. The Universe has a plan and provides endless ways to help us on our sacred path and yet we take this for granted and use the Universe as an excuse to do whatever we want without any deep acknowledgment that it’s causing disruption to our community and to ourselves. I’m committed. The Universe is telling me I need to do something else. I have so much to say and do. I am here to create impact. The Universe is telling me to wait. I am fully devoted to that program. The Universe is telling me I have way too much on my plate and I need to focus on self care. What?! The Universe doesn’t give mixed messages, our humanness does. It’s time to dive into this week’s Sacred Business Podcast. It’s going to get REAL today with some tough love from me to you. The Universe totally has our back and our heart but what if we stopped using the Universe, Goddess, God, Great Spirit as our excuse to not step into our power and commit to change and evolution? What if we took the time to do our work and notice when it’s true and when it’s bullshit? That is courage.

YOU ARE WORTHY. Does that feel hard to let in fully? Society tells us never to be boastful and think we are the best. Our parents may have taught us to be humble and therefore shy away from any sense that we have significant powers to share with others. And our wounds have cut deep into our belief system that we may not have value or less than so many others out there in the world. Charlotte Elea is devoted to shifting this in every person she comes across through her book, To Be Worthy. Our wounds are our gifts, and we speak about this and so much more on today’s podcast. You are worthy. And. You have a worthy business. So as you listen to Charlotte and I share, notice how you have been holding yourself back in your work. It’s time, as we prepare for the new year, to consider whether or not it’s time to release these fears and step into the fullness of yourself and let nothing get in your way. Charlotte Eléa is the author of the book, To Be Worthy, and an expert in emotional self-healing. She is an intuitive guide and mentor to soulful women who are ready to know who they really are and awaken their healing gifts. She is passionate about leading women to the discovery that they may take the painful, difficult, and wounded parts of themselves and transform them into frickin’ gold. She has a background in clinical psychotherapy and has been a student of her intuition for over 20 years. She has developed unique approaches to self-healing and self-discovery through her own experiences of deep transformation and healing. She lives in La Crescenta, California, with her wife and dog.

An entrepreneur is defined as a person who creates a business and operates a business while taking on greater than normal financial risks. This. Is. You. And if you haven’t heard this in a while - YOU ARE AMAZING! It takes courage to have no idea what the outcome will be and sit with the discomfort of the unknown while taking intentional action every day. Sometimes you are led by your intuition, and other times you are making decisions based on data and facts. I am in awe of you. Entrepreneur enjoys having control, but controlling the outcome is rarely possible. That is why cultivating 15 traits can help you be fiercely committed to your vision and, therefore, allows you to ride the frequently of a Wildly Successful Entrepreneur. Listen to today’s Sacred Business Episode and I’ll tell you all about it! As a woman entrepreneur, I move through the world based on feelings, connection, and gut instinct. Analysis, logic, and reasoning are what support this primary way of being. Of the 12.3 million women-owned businesses, many seek to develop and grow their business through collaboration and soulful business strategies. But nearly all business trainings are not created for a spiritual womxn entrepreneur. As a part of the $9.9 billion self-development industry, I want to change that. As a business coach, I fill a gap, helping coaches + healers grow within their market. I merge business with self-regulation skills, empowering women to claim their equitable place in entrepreneurship. Reach out and connect with me to achieve clarity in your business or if you desire to support spiritual womxn entrepreneurs. Let’s find out which traits you weave into your life with ease and which are a bit harder to incorporate.

This week on Sacred Business Podcast I speak with former Priestess Mistress Minder, current Sacred Business Masterminder, close sister, and member of Team Sacred, Emilie Gomez. Emilie is a healer and coach for spiritual entrepreneurs as well as a tech professional though more like a wizard. During this episode, we will discuss Emilie’s transition from a corporate world she no longer desired to be in into her work as a spiritual entrepreneur.

Leaving can be intimidating, yet the desire to turn your career into something you love to do burns on! On this episode, you will hear from Emilie her transition story as well as best practices for wisely transitioning into starting a successful business. So listen in, as we hope this episode will both inspire and teach. Emilie Gomez Emilie is not your usual tech whizz.

Do you feel the insecurity, inner fears, the wounding from the patriarchy, and the enormous amount of rage that is calling to be expressed?

Oh how she embraces us fiercely - the way an earth warrior would. This episode is not to be missed as you dive into the darkness of our own inner complexities and begin to unwind them through Sarah’s transmissions.

On this week’s episode, Vanessa Codorniu and I speak from our hearts about a concept we as human beings cannot seem to escape: validation. The hierarchical structure of our system has programmed us to demand validation. This can often make us feel limited and small in our worth whether this is from getting into college, to applying for a job, to walking as a priestess. We should never feel small just because we do not check the boxes of what the old, archaic system says we must do in order to be considered worthy. Listen along as Vanessa and I speak through systemic limitations as a womxn and as a priestess. Vanessa Codorniu, CHT RMT, With more than 10,000 psychic intuitive sessions & with hundreds of students in the US, Europe and Latin America, Vanessa is an acclaimed psychic intuitive, clinical hypnotherapist and Soul Business mentor.

Recently, I’ve been exploring the concept of systems. From a tangible point of view, I’ve been looking at how form and function create a system. On an energetic level noticing how interconnected everything is and wherein that intersection has one designed mechanisms that bring optimal magic and others that break down and bring disruption. A signature creates an identity and distinguishes us, setting us apart from someone else. This leaves a mark, a quality that impressed on another so that they remember your essence. The goal is to leave a strong and everlasting impression that you serve in a way that is specific to your gifts. When we put Signature + System together - can you see how potent this is for your clients? As a healer, I love looking at your systems. You have a system for money, for love, for your business, for calling in clients, etc. You have systems for everything! Within that system, some mechanisms are working well and others look more like a creation from a Dr. Seuss book, and at any second it can come crashing down. You are overexerting yourself, and it does not feel graceful at all. As a business coach, I love looking at your systems that honor your medicine. How do you share your specific gifts in a way that allows others to go on an exhilarating journey with you and feel grounded at the same time? The best part of a Signature System is that it doesn’t have to be unyielding, rigid, unadaptable, uncompromising, dogmatic, and oppressive. Instead, your Signature System can create a cellular network that allows others to grow new pathways to support their development. New pathways, in a new network, creates a new language, that is then rewired into a person’s programming, so that they are now living in a world vastly different than the way they were prior to working with you.

On today’s Sacred Business Podcast, you’ll learn how I and my team hold Wildly Successful Exploratory Calls. The power of having a Soulful Sales Script is that you release your fears and enter the space of divine sovereignty. It’s time to be professional about this, meaning we create an experience where we are not consumed by our emotions that are frankly, heightened by the power of our ego. This isn’t the divine energy we want to be with when we are holding space for a potential client. To have a clear understanding of the flow of your conversation is quite powerful so here is an outline you may consider. Enjoy the podcast and I look forward to hearing how you have taken inspired action to improve your sales calls. If you are interested in having a Wildly Successful Business and receiving personal support with business strategies such as personally scripting your soulful sales calls, apply for the Sacred Business Mastermind. www.sacredbusinessmastermind.com
