In today’s episode, host Vicki Chisholm sits down with the incredible Anna Parker-Naples, founder of Influential Breathwork Academy. Together, they dive deep into what it really means to build a business that’s truly aligned with your soul, rather than chasing success by someone else’s definition.
Anna opens up about her journey from being known as the “podcast queen” in the online space—focused on visibility, rapid growth, and that elusive seven-figure mark—to experiencing burnout when her business no longer felt aligned with who she truly was. Vicki and Anna share honest reflections on the realities of burnout, the importance of tuning into your intuition, and how finding a sense of “aliveness” in your work can be even more powerful than chasing joy or fun.
The conversation highlights how stress, ambition, and people-pleasing can derail entrepreneurs, and why self-regulation through tools like breathwork can be a key to not just surviving, but thriving. Anna shares her personal experience of how discovering breathwork transformed her life and business, and offers listeners simple, practical techniques for managing overwhelm in the entrepreneurial journey.
If you’re looking for a refreshingly honest take on business, success, and personal growth—as well as actionable ways to regulate your mind and emotions—this episode is for you. Tune in for a real conversation about releasing what no longer serves you, aligning with your true purpose, and breathing new life into your business.
