The Business Strategy No One's Teaching: Sovereignty
Funnels, scaling, hustle… none of it matters if your perfectionist, people-pleaser, or inner critic is in charge. That’s why so many brilliant entrepreneurs end up building cages instead of empires.
Sovereignty means your wisest Self is CEO—not your wounds. When you lead from clarity instead of fear, your business becomes an expression of your truth, not your trauma.
Because you didn’t start a business to build a prettier cage. You started it for freedom.
SOMETHING I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT
I've been thinking about this pattern I keep seeing with my clients.
They've built incredible things. Successful businesses, impressive careers, the kind of life that looks amazing from the outside. And they come to me saying some version of the same thing:
"I should be happy. I have everything I thought I wanted. But I feel... empty."
The part that gets me is how guilty they feel about it. Like they're ungrateful or broken for not feeling fulfilled by their success.
But here's what I've learned: achievement doesn't automatically heal your inner world.
