Description

Networking. The word alone can feel draining—but what if it didn’t have to?

In this episode of Confessions of a Spiritual Entrepreneur, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I’ve landed contracts with massive companies like PayPal, Apple, and Instacart—not through stiff networking events, but by building genuine relationships that feel good.

I’ll share:

  • Why unstructured conversations spark more opportunities than formal networking events
  • Four uncommon tips that make connecting feel fun (even if you’re an introvert)
  • How to shift from surface-level small talk to meaningful, lasting relationships
  • The surprising connection between authenticity, curiosity, and business growth

If networking feels like a chore, this episode will change how you approach it. Tune in to discover how to connect with ease, build real friendships, and grow your business in a way that feels aligned.
