In this deeply grounding episode of Cosmic Confluence, we explore what it really means to love yourself radically—especially as a woman founder navigating hustle culture and high expectations. Guest Linette Cottrell, a spiritual strategist, breathwork coach, and systems master, shares what burnout taught her that spreadsheets never could. She unpacks her “Four Pillars of Radical Self-Love” and dismantles toxic productivity myths that keep women stuck in cycles of exhaustion and guilt. Linette reminds us that success doesn’t require sacrifice. True power lies in joy, health, and wealth without burnout. Whether you’re running on fumes or rebuilding from the inside out, this conversation is your permission slip to slow down, realign, and rise.
About the Guest: Linette Cottrell is a spiritual warrior, certified breathwork facilitator, systems expert, and the author of Your 90-Day Success Journal for Black Women Entrepreneurs. With decades of experience managing financial systems and now walking her own solopreneur path, Linette fuses strategy with soul. Her framework of sacred small steps empowers women to build legacy-level success while reclaiming their health, joy, and radical self-worth.
Key Takeaways:
Radical self-love begins with four pillars: self-acceptance, self-care, self-worth, and self-expression.
Burnout often masquerades as ambition—until your body demands rest.
Joy, health, and wealth can (and must) coexist in sustainable success.
The grind culture is outdated; efficiency and intentional rest are the new superpowers.
Founders deserve softness, not just strength—success doesn't have to feel like a war.
