The Bold Business Podcast with Rachel Star

This podcast is for the ones who want to do business DIFFERENTLY. For those ready to reject the old school of business that glorifies burnout, profit-at-any-cost and fitting in with “the boys”. We know that UNIQUENESS is our superpower. That operating in our zone-of-genius will lead to higher satisfaction and reward. There’s a way of building a successful and satisfying business that is both authentic and purposeful. And it starts with understanding the strategies that specifically work for YOU. I’m here to make this powerful insight mainstream, to bring the “Cosmic Cutting Edge” to the people. It’s time for this information to come out of the shadows and for us to stop pretending that cosmic systems like Astrology & Human Design don’t hold the keys to our self-actualisation & success. They do. You won’t find any marketing bros, cookie cutter approaches or ‘3 guaranteed steps to success’ BS here. Because there isn’t one path to success…there is only YOUR path. And the one thing you need to be…is BOLD. *** Rachel Star is the founder of the empowerment brand Cosmic Queen and the business movement, Nova 2025. She exchanged a successful career in tech for entrepreneurship and now teaches and mentors ambitious entrepreneurs using mindset techniques and advanced Astrology and Human Design insights. She is passionate about bringing the "cosmic cutting edge" to the mainstream.

53: Astrologers at Oxford! Reflections and How to kick hyperindependence to harness the power of community in your business

As business owners and entrepreneurs, we often pride ourselves on being independent, we’re the capable creatives who can carry it all, do it all, and figure it all out on our own. Hyperindependence can feel like strength…but in reality, it can easily become the very pattern that holds your business back.Last week, Rachel spent time studying Astrology at Oxford University (yes Oxford via the Faculty of Astrological Studies!) and in this episode she reflects on some of the cosmic gems dropped and the most valuable lessons that came from that experience. Lessons not only about the stars, but about how we as business owners are meant to be in relationship: with our work, with others, and with the communities that support us.Because the truth is, no great business is built alone. The next level of growth, stability, and inspiration comes when you let yourself be seen, supported, and expanded by others.In this episode, you’ll be invited to notice where you’ve been over-relying on hyperindependence, and the 5 Ways you can immediately start to shift into a more connected way of leading. You’ll discover how to harness the true power of community, so that your business isn’t just sustained by your energy alone, but lifted by the greater collective.This podcast is a reminder that you don’t have to hold it all by yourself. You are not meant to. Your business will grow even more when you let others walk the path with you.***Autumn Spots OPEN for my private two-month Private Business Coaching.
