How could a digital nomad coach possibly help you with that, you may wonder? If you’re new here, it’s best to start with this article about digital nomad coaching.

As a digital nomad coach, I’ll help you create a business that works for YOU, so that you can live your grandest life yet!

And make no mistake, so much of transforming your life happens on the inside—your relationship with yourself, that is. Unlike other ‘online marketers,’ I have the training to guide you through inner blocks, existential questions, and help you align your business with your heart.

This is my wish for you: to build a business that truly supports your location-independent lifestyle. Without selling your soul. Without relying on outdated tactics like scaling through endless 1:1 calls, offering free sessions, or cold outreach.

And most importantly—to have fun while living your laptop lifestyle. Are you in?

    Busting some myths here (and some action steps, st Busting some myths here (and some action steps, stick around) 🔥 No. 1: The biggest lie business coaches tell you is that you can build a business in ten hours a week.
LIES! 🙅‍♀️
You can sustain a successful business in that time, but not build it. 💯
When I first quit, I was grinding every single day — seven days a week, from my mom’s basement, eating snacks she’d lovingly shove on my desk. 🍩
The money will come, so will the time freedom... but it takes a shitload of discipline to get there. 💪 No. 2: You need a large audience to start making money.
BS! 🚫
What you need is a killer offer and the courage to go out there and sell it. 🤑
Or as my client put it: “I tried to get rejected last night and ended up on a date.” 😂
SAME goes for clients. The more you put yourself out there, the more you’ll attract the right ones. No. 3: The flip side to all of this:
If you’ve been at this for years, only have 1:1 clients, and STILL can’t comfortably pay your bills...
You’ve got a STRUCTURE problem. ⚠️
While 1:1 is an explosive way to start, it’s NOT how you’ll sustain your business long-term.
Start here: look at the five things you repeat over and over again. Can you turn them into evergreen offers or at least systematize them? In summary:
If you’re not seeing the time and financial freedom you’d hoped for, put on your detective hat 🕵️‍♀️ and assess: ✨Are you putting in the WORK? ✨Are you SELLING? ✨Do you have one or multiple offers that your clients NEED? ✨Are you still exchanging money for time, or VALUE for money? Need support? 🙋‍♀️
If you’re starting out and feel stuck, comment LEAP.
If you’re stuck with 1:1 clients and ready to break free, comment TRAPPED. You’ve got this. Follow for daily messages of support, love, purpose, and kicks-in-the-booty to build your purpose-aligned, dream life. 🚀💕
    If that’s you, your business owns you instead of If that’s you, your business owns you instead of the other way around. 😬 Step away, and everything stops. That’s not freedom—that’s a trap. 🔒 I know this because I’ve been there. (Drop a 🫣 if that’s you right now) In 2023, I was juggling time zones, dragging a 15-client roster around the world, and working past my mental capacity. Zero time to breathe, zero space to grow, and no clue where I’d put another client—even if I got one. 🤯 I felt chained to my desk. So I know the feeling:
❌ Your business is technically successful, but you’re trapped in it.
❌ Client work eats up your time, and stepping back feels impossible.
❌ You’re ready to move beyond 1:1 work, but you don’t know how.
❌ You crave real freedom—time, location, and financial—but your model isn’t cutting it. ✋🛑 Then, I made one crucial shift: I stopped trading time for money and built a business that works even when I don’t. 💼✨ That one shift can create:
✔ A business that supports your life—not one that demands all of it.
✔ A clear plan to restructure your work and win back your time.
✔ More income, less grind—leveraged revenue streams that don’t need you 24/7.
✔ The confidence to scale smartly—so you serve more people without burning out. 🔥 What you need is a proven plan to Free Your Time & Scale Your Income. That’s exactly what I teach inside The Unchained Entrepreneur Masterclass. 💡 Inside, you’ll learn:
⚡ The key shifts to break free from the 1:1 trap without losing income.
⚡ How to build leveraged income streams that scale without burnout.
⚡ The exact systems & mindset shifts that will help you reclaim your time while growing your impact. 🌱 This is your turning point. The masterclass will show you exactly how to create passive income and step back—without losing revenue. 💸 👉💬 ‘TRAPPED’ if you’re done being the bottleneck of your business. ⏳
    It’s likely not, but it’s a better start than It’s likely not, but it’s a better start than you might think! ✨ What you’re mostly looking for is:
🔑 PURPOSE + SELLING 💡 If you love what you do and haven’t backed away from that passion, GOOD FOR YOU. 🙌
Now, what you want to do is take that passion and double down on it, and move beyond it. Here’s what I mean:
For your offers to sell, they have to be aligned with YOUR purpose and meet your AUDIENCE’s needs. 🚀 PURPOSE
Big words, I know. But here’s the thing: Your passion points you to your purpose—that thing you were placed on this planet to do. 🌍 We just need to turn that passion into your business purpose:
I help [WHO?] go from [problem] to [desire] so that [why’s that matter to you, them, the world???] AUDIENCE’S NEEDS
Does your offer actually support your business purpose? Does it precisely meet your audience’s needs?
Do you communicate:
👉 What’s in it for them?
👉 How this will change their lives?
👉 Why this solution you offer is for them? Passion is great – now we just need to morph it into a business purpose and messaging that magnetizes. 💥 And we will do JUST THAT in my free workshop, Purpose-Aligned, on May 15. 🎯 If you’re ready to turn crickets into sales, passion into drive, and your offer ideas into money-making machines … and want to feel ALIVE, ALIGNED, and DRIVEN while you’re at it, 💬 PURPOSE and I’ll get you signed up! ✨
    The barely talked about reasons for this: First o The barely talked about reasons for this: First of all — I get it.
Entrepreneurship is nothing if not scary (and JUST shy of going back to working for “the man” scary). 😱 But the point isn’t to never second-guess yourself or to be super confident all the time. The point is to create a strong litmus test for making aligned decisions.
The point is to learn to lead with courage (because confidence is a result of doing it anyway). 💥 These two things might just change your world: No. 1: You may be a recovering people-pleaser. 🙋‍♀️
You might find yourself constantly trying to get approval or keep others happy. But why? 🤔 What do you hope to get from others by appeasing them? 💬 Comment HEAL, and I’ll share my resource to break through your people-pleasing habits and turn your compassion into fuel for your business. 🔥 No. 2: You may not have a clearly defined business purpose. 🎯
If you’re second-guessing everything, you’re likely hopping from one “magic bullet” strategy to the next, instead of looking inside yourself. 💡 💬 Drop a FIRE if this resonates! 🔥 What you really need isn’t another course. You need a deep, powerful realignment of your personal and business purpose.
The more you anchor into what you do, who you do it for, and why the heck it matters, the easier business will flow. 💬 Comment PURPOSE, and I’ll get you signed up for my FREE Purpose Aligned Workshop on May 15th.
It’s time to stop second-guessing and start aligning. 💬HEAL to turn your people-pleasing into your best inner guide.
💬PURPOSE to create a business mission so powerful you’ll be undeniable.
    I get it... but here’s the mindset shift you nee I get it... but here’s the mindset shift you need to start cashing in on all the hours you’ve spent: 💡 Selling is SERVING.
The world NEEDS what you’ve built. (I know this because if you’re reading this, you’re clearly driven by a higher purpose... drop a ❤️ if this resonates!) You’re withholding that service from the world by not actively selling your offer/service.
🌱 Organic online marketing may take years to take off... but you know what will only take 5 minutes? Here’s how to supercharge your business growth with some real, tangible actions: ✨Pitch yourself to speak on someone’s mastermind 🎤 — serve ✨Reach out to the person you spoke with last night and offer your help 🤝 — serve ✨Contact 10 podcast hosts whose audience really needs what you have 🎧 — serve ✨Invite 5 people who’ve known you for years to a conversation about “YOUR EXPERTISE” 🗣 — serve ✨Book a trip to a conference to meet the right people, your dream clients ✈️ — serve Notice a trend? 🤔
💕You’re putting yourself directly in front of your dream clients.
💕You’re leading with service.
💕You’re tapping into audiences that have already been built to add value. Yes, this shit is often way more uncomfortable than tweaking your website. 🙈 But do you know what’s even more uncomfortable?
🕰 Working for hours, for months... without seeing a single dime come into your bank account. 😱 Go do it. Do it for your future self. 🔥 What’s ONE thing you’ll do TODAY to serve? Drop it in the comments👇
    What if you didn’t need a 10k audience to start What if you didn’t need a 10k audience to start making money, signing clients, and building your business? 💥 News flash:
Most of my clients, when starting out, sign their first clients from people they’ve known for YEARS.
(Doesn’t matter the industry.) Here’s the truth:
The more you connect with the right people, the better your content will get. 📈
➡️ Figure out who you want to work with — then go where they hang out, ask for introductions, tap into your network. The sooner you start selling on your socials, the more aligned your audience will be (even if growth is slow). 💡
➡️ Build a community of people who are ready to put actions AND money where their mouth is by communicating how they can learn from you.
Selling is a service — don’t withhold it. The more you hone in on your unique, magnetizing message, the better the audience you’ll attract. ✨
➡️ Numbers are good (we want eyes on our content), but we want the RIGHT eyes. Ask yourself:
Would your dream client gain value from your content? And KNOW you’re for THEM? ✨ For today:
Take a step back from content creation and ask yourself:
Who do I know who could use my support? (Don’t even think about selling for now.)
What’s been on my mind that I’ve been too afraid to say publicly? (Go say it NOW!) Double-tap if this gave you the kick you needed to go out and sell, serve, connect, and reach out... while your socials grow slowly in the background. 💪
    This might surprise you… but your wounds show up This might surprise you… but your wounds show up everywhere in your business.
💥How you sell (or don’t).
💥How you price.
💥How safe you feel being seen. Wounds can sound like:
✨A definition of success that keeps you afraid to experiment
✨A story that money = greed
✨A belief that surpassing your parents makes you a traitor
✨A fear that being “too different” means being unlovable (Any of those hitting home yet?) When left unacknowledged, these patterns quietly sabotage growth.
 But when you turn and face them?
They become fuel.
Catalysts.
Gold. The path forward isn’t sexy, but it is sacred:
🫶Journaling.
🫶Visualizing.
🫶Writing letters to your younger self.
🫶Being radically honest with your coach—not just strategic. In (Un)Becoming, a two-part masterclass, we go deep into the heart of this: 
🫶How to recognize your blocks, meet them with compassion, and alchemize them into business breakthroughs. This class is a transformative experience, and clients have had breakthroughs within days of taking it: 
💕A brand new offer channeling their true purpose
💕A whole new relationship with their family
💕Finally reaching out to that dream collaborator Are you ready to stop letting the past lead your business—and start becoming the badass leader you came here to be? 💬 “HEAL” below and I’ll send you the link.
    Why one will lead to business growth, and the othe Why one will lead to business growth, and the other just to growth. CAPTION: Okay, bring it. Hit me with why I’m wrong. I’ll wait. 👀 Here’s why, as a business owner, resonance > growth. Every. Damn. Time. 1️⃣ TRUST
People don’t buy from you until they trust you.
Not just trust you—but your process, your vibe, and their own readiness.
👉 Does your content actually highlight your core values, and speak to their core needs and desires?
Or just chase the algorithm? 2️⃣ PURPOSE
You’re not here to regurgitate. You’re here to lead.
If you’re creating from obligation, your audience can feel it.
The best content comes from conviction. From that something in you that has to speak.
Call it truth, intuition, divine timing—I call it resonance. 👉🏻Are you posting because you should or because you ‘just really have to share this message with the world or else you’ll explode?’ 3️⃣SUSTAINABILITY
Show me someone who sticks to someone else’s content plan longer than a month and I’ll show you a robot.
You want to grow for the long haul?
Then your strategy needs to be sustainable. And sustainability comes from authenticity.
👉🏻 Are you showing up as your whole damn self, unapologetic self? 💥Real talk:💥
The kind of content that builds trust, purpose, and longevity won’t always go viral.
But it will build a business that lasts, one you’ll love, one that’ll change the world. ✨✨✨P.S. Freedom Business Mastermind is now open.✨✨✨
6 spots. 6 souls.
This is for the visionary purpose driven entrepreneur ready to heat up their business, deepen their spiritual alignment, and grow in sacred community. DM me to see if it’s the space for you. 💬
    Last week, I almost made a decision from fear. Ye Last week, I almost made a decision from fear. Yep—even as someone who teaches purpose-led business. (We’re all still in it, always.) I was faced with a big investment. One that triggered every old wound:
💸 Money fears
😣 Scarcity loops
🤯 Pressure to grow fast, to “keep up” My mind was spiraling.
But my body? She wasn’t sure. So I paused.
 I called one of my mentor—not for advice, but for mirroring. 
And he asked me a question that cracked me open: ✨ “Are you forcing growth… or is this decision pulling you deeper into your purpose?” ✨ Then he reminded me:
“It took the entire Universe to create you. Trust that the Universe has your back.” Whew. That was my call back to my I am.
The truest part of me. The quiet knowing beneath all the noise. And when I anchor into that?
🌊 My message deepens.
🌊 Clients rise.
🌊 Sales happen with ease and integrity.
🌊 My nervous system rests.
🌊 And everything flows again. This time, the investment wasn’t mine to make.
Not because I won’t invest. (I do.)
But because the real invitation wasn’t growth—it was faith. So I’ll ask you this, love:
What is your “I am”?
What is the myth that wants to be told through you? (Hello, Carl Jung 💬) 
Are you forcing—or following the pull? 🌀 This is the work we’re doing in (Un)Becoming—Part 2 is happening this Wednesday.
Come if you’re done with forcing, faking, or people-pleasing… and ready to come home to your truth. Drop a 💫 below and I’ll send it your way.
    Apparently we need to have this conversation, beca Apparently we need to have this conversation, because the level of sleaze happening in the DMs lately?
Off. The. Charts. 🤯 Let’s talk about what not to do:
❌ Random messages asking if my “motivation is playing hide and seek with my goals.” (Who writes this!?)
 ❌ Cold DMs from strangers tearing apart my IG profile to offer their ‘fix it’ package.
 ❌ Unsolicited invites to a group program “for people like me”...without one question about my business.
 ❌ Comments on my content telling me to “check DMs for a special offer.” 🙃 Let’s be clear:
These messages are either ending up in my IG story for a full-on rant…
Or you’re getting blocked. Bye. The sad part?
People are actually teaching these strategies. 🤯 
like… WTF happened to authentic connection? 📢 Sales 101:
If your strategy pisses off your potential client before they even know your name, it’s not a strategy — it’s sabotage. 🫣 Yes, you can automate with funnels.
Yes, you can scale with ads.
But no, you cannot outsource connection. Paying someone to send awkward, poorly written messages to strangers?
Big. Nope. 🚫 If someone’s teaching you that mess — run.
Fast. So… how do you sell in a way that actually builds relationships, trust, and income? Great question. So I did a whole episode on it on my podcast. Comment CONNECT and I’ll send it over. Let me know in the comments: What’s the most cringe DM you’ve ever received? 👇
