Yes, And! w. Bunny Young

This episode is a celebration of what can happen when a woman stops building her life around everyone else and finally starts choosing herself, and how this can have a pivotal impact on her business growth. Bunny brings Nikki Acosta, a licensed marriage and family therapist, relationship expert, and transformation coach, into the studio to talk about the woman she was when they first met, and the woman she has become after a year inside DEFY.This episode is all about the mindset shifts she experienced in her first year of DEFY. And, trust me, she has quite an interesting story. Nikki already knew how to build a business. She had successfully run multiple businesses and had a thriving therapy practice. What she didn’t know was how to build the coaching business she actually wanted, or how to stop operating from the belief that she simply had to keep doing more for everyone else.Inside DEFY, that started to change. Nikki began making herself a non-negotiable, creating a business around the freedom she wanted, showing up more visibly, and learning to trust her own answers instead of constantly looking outside herself for them.Timestamps00:00 Yes, And!

It’s time to face the truth: No matter how many zeroes are in your bank account, if your business only works when you are exhausted and available around the clock, your business might just be a different version of a golden cage. In the first episode of season 3 of the Yes, And! Podcast, I’m chatting with multi-industry entrepreneur, bestselling author, and powerhouse operator Kelsea Koenreich.And her story is one for the books. Kelsea spent her early twenties in and out of jail, drinking every night, and watching her life completely unravel. Instead of staying stuck, she chose radical responsibility, rebuilt from rock bottom, and spent the last 15 years going inside the businesses of high-achieving multi-six and seven-figure women as their right-wing woman. In this conversation, we’re talking about the messy reality of breaking the mold, dropping the performance trap (yes, even the business blazers), dealing with unspoken rules in female entrepreneurship, and realizing that a business running on your constant burnout isn't freedom at all.If you’re ready to stop performing and start building a business that actually supports your life, press play.Timestamps00:00 Yes, And!

This is going to sound hard, but trust me, it’s an important wakeup call: AI won't go anywhere, but neither will you if you keep outsourcing your power to an LLM.This podcast episode is Part 2 of Woo & AI, a two-part series where Bunny talks about why AI won't replace you if you know what tasks to outsource and where to protect your uniqueness in a world that seems more vanilla than ever before.In this second part, Bunny shares an overview of her AI tech stack and offers coaching insights on how to make the most of AI to expand your reach and amplify your magic.Timestamps00:00 Welcome back to Part 202:35 Why AI is a vehicle, not the problem07:00 The "house manager" analogy 10:35 Why AI should support your ideas, not create them12:43 Bunny's AI framework: See It, Do It, Be It18:20 The AI tools Bunny uses every day21:38 The inbox AI that's saving hours every week23:26 What's next in AI and autonomous agents27:12 The future is both AI and intuitionLinks & Resources⁠Watch Part 1 on YouTube⁠Join our DEFY community here⁠Instagram⁠LinkedIn⁠Website
