By the Fire with Faye - Conscious Leadership for Awakened Women

S2:Ep10: Why your Training School still doesn’t exist & what happens for you when it does!

There comes a point in business where your work is no longer asking to simply be delivered by you, it’s asking to become something bigger than you. In this final episode of Season 2 of By the Fire with Faye, we explore the stage of business that many healers, therapists, and spiritual entrepreneurs arrive at, the moment where your work has depth, transformation, and demand… but the training school, certification, or practitioner pathway still doesn’t exist, even though you know it's the next step for expansion and are excited about it! Because building a transformational practice and building a training school are two entirely different things. Together, we explore: – Why so many experienced practitioners become exhausted by business models tied entirely to their own hours – The hidden “expansion ceiling” many transformational businesses eventually hit – Why your training school may still be sitting in notebooks, voice notes, and half-written frameworks – The difference between depth and business architecture – And what fundamentally shifts when your work evolves from private practice into lineage, certification, and sustainable scale I also share my own journey building both an award-winning franchise company and an accredited eco-somatics training school, and why now I am so passionate about helping practitioners bridge the gap between transformational depth and scalable business structure. This episode is for the woman who knows her work is ready to expand beyond direct delivery and is finally ready to stop carrying the vision alone. Depth without structure stays small. Structure without depth feels hollow. The magic is learning how to hold both to build, launch & scale a training school, certification or lineage. And that is exactly what we do together in Expansion Accelerator!

S2:Ep9: Astrology & Conscious Business Decisions with Gina King (Wild as the Moon)

We’re often taught to make decisions in business through logic alone. Through planning. Through timelines. But there are other rhythms at play. Cycles we can’t always see, but that we feel. In this episode of By the Fire with Faye, I’m joined by Gina King, founder of Wild as the Moon [https://wildasthemoon.co.uk/], to explore astrology as a tool for conscious business decision-making, timing, and deeper alignment. Because not every moment is meant for the same kind of action. Together, we explore: – How astrology can support decision-making in business – How planetary cycles influence energy, clarity, and momentum – The difference between forcing and flowing with the right season – How intuition and astrology work together – And how understanding your own chart can help you build your business in a way that aligns with your natural leadership style and capacity Conscious decision-making isn’t just about what you do, it’s about understanding when the energy is truly ready to support it.

S2:Ep8: Hormones, Cycles & Business Decision with Samantha Hadadi (The Hormone Goddess)

For women, decision-making is not separate from the body. It’s not separate from our energy. Our rhythms. Or our hormones. In this episode of By the Fire with Faye, I’m joined by Samantha Hadadi [https://www.instagram.com/the_hormone_goddess/], also known as The Hormone Goddess [https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1446314480/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_BAKQ5BFFGDCKSWGXPP5G?linkCode=ml1&tag=thehormonegod-21&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnwug3hmvhQxuTw0F7Prdr1DMxV3e5-GcSoCU73LzrjBsiaWWuYU8Roj4eDl4_aem_pYvA8Cs5_OwqlGThVLzyew], to explore how our hormonal cycles influence the way we think, feel and make decisions in business. Because the same decision can feel clear, expansive, and aligned one week and heavy, overwhelming, or impossible the next. Not because you’ve lost clarity but because your body has shifted. Together, we explore: – Where hormones and the menstrual cycle come into business decision-making – How the different phases influence clarity, energy, and action – What happens when we ignore our body and try to operate the same way every day – How hormones influence intuition – The link between our Womb and our Voice – And what it looks like to build a business that works with your cycle rather than against it For more information about Sam's work say Hi on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/the_hormone_goddess/].

S2:Ep7: Ancestral Wisdom, Returning to Your Soul Path & Business Decisions with Guest Emma Griffin

In this episode of By the Fire with Faye, I’m joined by Emma Griffin [https://www.emmagriffinwitch.co.uk/home/], modern witch, intuitive guide, and author, to explore what it really means to come home to your soul path, and how ancestral wisdom shapes the way we choose, lead, and live. Because the voice guiding you forward often doesn’t feel new. It feels ancient. Like something remembered. Like something that has always been there. Together, we explore: – Whether your soul path is something you choose or something you remember – How ancestral patterns and lineage influence your decisions in business and life – The fear of being seen, judged, or walking a different path, and the deeper roots of that fear – Why following your truth can feel uncomfortable before it feels aligned – And what truly changes when you begin to walk your path fully This is a conversation for the woman who feels the pull toward something deeper but knows that following it will ask her to choose differently. Some decisions aren’t about figuring it out, they’re about remembering who you are and trusting it enough to act.

S2:Ep6: Neurodiversity, Trauma & Conscious Business Decision-Making - guest interview with Samantha Stein (Yo Samdy Sam)

Not all business decisions are made from clarity alone. Sometimes… they’re shaped by your nervous system. Your lived experiences. Your patterns of safety and protection...your Wild Brain! In this episode of By the Fire with Faye, I’m joined by Samantha Stein (Yo Samdy Sam) [https://yosamdysam.com/], creator of Wild Brains, to explore how neurodiversity and trauma influence the way we make decisions in business. Because for many women, especially those who are neurodivergent, decision-making isn’t just about knowing what to do next. It’s about capacity. Safety. And whether the way you’re building actually fits how your wild mind works. Together, we explore: – What’s often missing from conversations around business and decision-making – The role of masking and pressure to “do business the right way” – And how to begin building a business that works with your neurodiverse brain, not against it This is a conversation for anyone who has felt overwhelmed, inconsistent, or out of sync with the way they’ve been told to build their business. Your business doesn’t have to be something you force yourself into, it can be something that supports you to thrive.
