Ep. 97 What if sales didn’t have to feel pushy, fake, or overwhelming? Welcome to the aligned approach you’ve been waiting for. Merchon Hargrave sits down with ethical sales coach and content creator Allie Fell, who’s redefining what it means to sell with soul. After vibing on Threads over their shared love for aligned business, the two connect in this powerful convo to unpack the sticky, “ick” feelings so many entrepreneurs associate with sales—and how to ditch them for good. Allie Fell is a business strategist, ethical sales coach, and the visionary behind Angelical Sales—a movement helping creative and soulful entrepreneurs sell in a way that feels good, honest, and wildly effective. A former corporate girlie turned entrepreneur, she brings both real-world experience and a radically human approach to her work. As a neurodivergent business owner with ADHD, she’s passionate about building sales strategies that actually work with your brain. She’s also the founder of Allied Creative Solutions, where she supports small businesses with social media growth. Together, Merchon and Allie explore what it means to build confidence, handle rejection without losing momentum, and find your people—the ones who get you and want what you’re offering. From neurodivergent creativity to authentic messaging, this episode is a must-listen for anyone craving a more human-centered approach to business growth. 💡 Key Takeaways: Build a business model that aligns with your neurodivergent strengths instead of fighting against them. Sales doesn’t have to feel gross—clear messaging and client alignment can remove the “ick” entirely. Leaning on your community when launching can boost your visibility and your confidence. Infusing creativity and personality into your pitch can transform how your offers are received. Rejection doesn’t have to wreck your self-worth—it’s often a sign you’re one step closer to your people. 🗣️ Notable Quotes from Allie Fell: "Build a business that works with your brain and not against it.""The more you do something, the more you have confidence in it.""Don't create unnecessary nos that ruin your confidence.""Everyone's not for me either, and that's okay.""Surround yourself with what you want to be versus the ick." 🔗 Resources & Links: 💼 Follow Allie Fell on Instagram for more ethical sales tips and soulful content 💡 Learn more about Angelical Sales and Allie’s "Ditch the Ick" framework 📚 Book Mentioned: You Are the Brand by Mike Kim 🎧 Stay connected with host Merchon Hargrave on Instagram 💬 Join the Conversation on Threads @‌HighVibeCowork 💻 Virtual Co-Working for Creators – Virtual Coworking | SPS High Vibe Cowork **Sales Prospecting Simplified: The Course **Register Now Chapters: 0:00 Aligning Sales Strategies With Personal Values 8:16 Building a Business That Aligns With Neurodivergent Needs 14:26 Embracing Authenticity and Courage in Personal and Professional Life 19:12 Building Confidence and Community in Sales 27:07 Inspiration, Creativity, and Community in Personal and Professional Growth Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 96 What would you speak about for 25 hours straight? That question hit me hard. In this episode of High Vibe Table Talks, I reflect on Senator Cory Booker’s record-breaking 25-hour speech—and what it teaches us about relentless action. Whether you're navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship or finding your voice in a noisy world, this is your sign to push past perfectionism and step fully into your power. 📣 I break down how Booker's boldness, persistence, and community-driven spirit can fuel your own mission. Because here’s the truth: if your message matters, discomfort is part of the process. But you don’t have to do it alone. Key Takeaways: Embrace "Relentless Action": Translate Cory Booker's courageous speech into actionable lessons by pushing through discomfort to achieve entrepreneurial dreams. Community Power: Building a strong support network is crucial for achieving personal and professional goals.

Find Your 'Why': Know what drives you deeply enough that you'd be willing to dedicate hours to speaking passionately about it. Overcoming Perfectionism: Embrace imperfection; progress in business and politics comes through action, not waiting for perfect conditions. Let’s talk about how to stay aligned, speak your truth, and show up—even when it’s hard. Because your voice, your story, and your why are more powerful than you think. 💬 Join the Conversation on Threads @‌HighVibeCowork 💻 Virtual Co-Working for Creators – http://highvibecowork.com/virtual **Sales Prospecting Simplified: The Course **Register Now Chapters: 0:00 Cory Booker's Historic Speech Inspires Entrepreneurial Lessons 4:45 Embracing Discomfort to Create Positive Ripple Effects 6:52 Persistence and Courage in Achieving Success 9:27 Power of Community in Achieving Success 11:48 Sales Skills for Building Resilient Businesses 14:22 Community and Prospecting #HighVibeTableTalks #EntrepreneurMindset #RelentlessAction #CoryBooker #PurposeDrivenBusiness #CommunitySupport #DiscomfortIsGrowth #WomenInBusiness #POVHostMerchon Learn more about your ad choices.
