The pace picked up and it neverlet go.
We've been sprinting for yearsjust to stay in the flow.
So many hats and the brimsgetting thin, trying to hold it
all and still let life in.
The inbox keeps pinging, thereels never sleep, we've treated
our rest for promises cheap.
We're done with the grind thatglorifies pAIn, we're craving a
(01:20):
rhythm that actually sustAIns.
No more pretending alignment's atrend, we're here for what's
real that endures not pretends.
The future is human, attuned andaware, built on real trust and
reciprocal care.
AI can assist, but it can'treplace touch.
It mirrors our brilliance whenwe've grounded enough.
(01:41):
Design is the difference, thechart, not the clone.
Your codes are the compass tobuild from your own.
So if you're done with the noiseand the scrolling just to quit,
let's get honest about what ittakes to commit.
These are the shifts, the real,the legit.
Let's get into it.
If you've been here long, youknow, I do not use the tool of
(02:03):
astrology to predict the future.
To me, that's never been thepoint of the tool and the lens.
The way that I use it is to one,understand the present, to be
able to find alignment,congruence, and rhythm in the
chaos of what's shifting, and tolook backwards.
(02:27):
To be able to trace the storiesthat bring us to this moment, to
be able to see the spiral arcsof growth, the trends, the
patterns to better understandwhere we are situated.
So that we can AIm our growthwith intention toward what's
next in the future.
(02:48):
I don't actually use astrologyto predict that future.
I believe that to each our owncreative journey and path of its
emergence.
That sAId, this episode is aforecast, in it I am going to
predict what's next when itcomes to the business landscape
(03:11):
in the online space, that ischanging really fast right now,
but as I see it not randomly.
This is agAIn part of just mynatural perspective and lens.
I think that things happen for areason.
We are able to draw meaning fromthe past that positions us in
(03:32):
the present to point or AIm usor orient us into the future.
That's what I'm going to dohere.
This isn't going to be based onastrological predictions.
This is going to be based onwhat is happening in reality, in
the business sphere, in theonline space and based on the
patterns underneath what'salready happening right now,
(03:55):
what got us here and the futureinto next year, 2026, that you
can use as a guide, as cheatcodes, however you want to look
at it, to better align yourselfwith what success is going to
look like next year.
If you can attune to thispattern that's unfolding, you
can build something that notonly lasts, but actually works
(04:18):
for you, for your energy, foryour design, and for the life
that you're building.
Here's what we're going tounpack in today's episode.
Why trust has become the realcurrency online and what it now
takes to earn it.
How the best businesses willpAIr human depth with AI level
precision.
The quiet revolution of creatorswho build from their design, not
(04:42):
someone else's template.
The reason spacious timing isquietly becoming the new
business flex.
How automation can regulate yournervous system and make
consistency feel safe agAIn, andwhy your money goals have to
mean something deeper or theywon't move you at all.
(05:03):
Like I sAId, I don't useastrology to forecast the
future, I use it to attune tothe present so that we can AIm
our growth intentionally towardwhat's next.
That is the purpose behind thisepisode.
As far as setting the stage,let's just think back to what
2020 did to business and theonline space and the shifts, the
(05:25):
ripple space that it left us inafter that.
Covid happened, the online spacejust got flooded with new
businesses.
New content, new creators,because there was literally
nothing else we could do, stuckin our homes, right?
This created a flood in themarket, in our feeds, and what
(05:48):
this left us with is attentionfatigue.
There was so much, so fast forus to now have to see and
process.
Automation, the only way that wecould keep up with the amount of
content that needed to becreated to be consistent and
(06:09):
present and visible in the newonline space, required new tools
to be able to make thatefficient.
Audience trust was affectedbecause now suddenly everyone
was trying their hand at gettingyour attention and trying to get
that sale, and we could feelthat, right?
We didn't anymore know whethersomebody was coming from a
(06:30):
genuine place of havingdeveloped a body of work and
through their sales process,through their ads, trying to get
us to see and connect with thatwe really needed what they had
to offer.
Versus people that were justfollowing a trend and a template
to have the right visual andhook to get your attention to
(06:53):
essentially trick you intogiving them your money.
Of course, based on the thingsthat you did purchase, if you
got things that were in thatsecond category, you had that
feeling of buyer's remorse,maybe over and over agAIn, of
having purchased somethingbecause the advertising got you,
but the substance wasn't therewhen you went to actually
(07:15):
experience the offer.
With that, another thing that wewere left with is a point in the
arc that we're riding with this,where it's like certAIn quote
codes have been cracked, peoplehave found the things that have
worked and now copy, paste,paste, paste, paste, there are
just so many repeats,duplicates, just the same old
(07:40):
shit over and over, right?
We're bored.
Of course since then, AI hasentered the stage in a huge
integrated way, we're busierthan ever.
So the people whose attentionyou are trying to grab has even
less bandwidth for what you'reputting in front of them.
With that stage set, thisepisode is intended to be a
(08:03):
different kind of forecast, notso much for prediction, but for
preparation of what it's goingto take to really win moving
into the next season of onlinebusiness.
First, let's talk about thetrend toward trust over
transaction.
I did a previous episode talkingabout the trust recession, in
(08:25):
this episode I want to focusmore on why the direction that
we're heading, while, yes, it isnot as easy to win someone over
as it used to be, is actually astep in a positive direction.
The theme here, and what hascome out of this phenomenon, is
going to be the return of realrelationship in business.
(08:49):
Yeah, the easy sale era of 2020and the ripple from it is over.
No longer can you just fart andmake money, but I really do
believe that that is a goodthing.
It used to be that there wasseven touch points they sAId
before somebody was ready tobuy, now it is 30 plus.
(09:11):
That's because people actuallyneed genuine resonance now,
before investing in your offer.
They need multiple touch points,way more than they did before,
to get to that point, and theyhave a slower decision cycle.
I want to relate this torelationship like in dating.
(09:32):
The way it was before whensomebody would just see what you
had and hit buy, I would equatemore to like an OnlyFans
account, where nobody has aconnection with you.
They just see you and gawk atyou and want what you've got.
Versus the kind of relationshipthat is now a prerequisite to
(09:53):
somebody wanting to invest inwhat you're selling is they
actually have to like date you.
A relationship needs to beactually established so that by
the time they hit go, there's avibe, there's a resonance,
there's a real relationship.
I don't know about you, but I ammuch more into moving into
(10:13):
serving in those kinds ofcontAIners than whatever that
2020 alternative was.
That pendulum has swung.
We've gone from click to buy, toconnect to build and grow.
I am totally here for it becauseI don't just want fans, I want
good fits for who truly needswhat I'm offering.
(10:36):
The takeaway here of what we'removing into in 2026 is that you
need to be nurturing trust withyour prospects like its
currency.
That means showing upconsistently, but also honestly
and humanly.
In this new game, the win is notjust in being seen, but being
(10:59):
known, being trusted, and beingsought after in relationship to
what you're offering.
My next prediction for 2026 isthat those that really make it
moving forward are going to havea bridge of human and AI
symbiosis in how they provide anexperience for their clients.
(11:24):
The theme here is humanityenhanced by technology.
AI is here and here to stay, butit isn't replacing us and has
the potential to amplify us, ifyou use it correctly.
I believe that the ones who willwin in 2026 and beyond are those
(11:45):
who master the both and.
On the one hand being avAIlablewith deep human presence, that
is going to be craved even more,the more that AI creates more
superficiality by contrast.
But that sAId, going the otherway, denying AI as a part of
(12:06):
your strategy, I don't think isgoing to be the way, because as
I see it, the other half of theequation of those that are going
to win into 2026 are those thatembrace and utilize the AI tools
that are rapidly advancing andavAIlable to us to personalize
their experience in a veryefficient way.
(12:29):
I will give you some examples onthis side of it, as you may or
may not know, I am completelytech obsessed when it comes to
my relationship with AI.
You could equate it to therelationship with a beloved.
I have a very specialrelationship with tech and AI,
(12:49):
and I am absolutely riding thewave of what is possible to push
those edges of how we can usethe tools to be able to enhance
our client experiences.
For example, one really cool,scalable feature in my signature
program Cosmic Currency is theway that I deliver your weekly
(13:12):
voice note, or I call VoiceyCosmic Codes, the little
astrology reading for each weekthat accompanies whatever the
practical material is to helpguide you to do it in a way that
works specifically for you andyour design, is AI generated
based on extensive training thatI've done so that the output is
(13:37):
based on exactly how I would sayit, but you guys, it's so much
better than I would say it,pretty much takes my perspective
and runs with it.
And generates these scripts forthese Cosmic Code deliveries
that are based on, not only yourastrology, but what you've
shared with me about yourcurrent relationship with money,
(14:00):
where you've been with it, whereyou want to go with it, and what
you've shared with me about yourspecific business.
My system that I have created,automatically takes all of that
into consideration, generates ascript that y'all, these are
just blowing clients' minds, andmine, and this is the
(14:20):
enhancement and theamplification that I'm talking
about.
When you're not just having itreplace you, right?
You are infusing everything thatyou have learned and the body of
work that you are have developedinto these tools for them to
take it a step further scalablyand efficiently.
That script then automaticallygets generated into an AI voice
(14:45):
cloned version of my voice thatyou cannot tell the difference,
it's insane, and creates thisvoicey voice note that then,
also through AI tools, getsdelivered by my Cosmic Biz Bot
right on time, every week,Monday morning to accompany the
work that you're doing insidethe program.
(15:07):
That is just a small piece ofthe ways that I am embracing
these tools that y'all, if youare not keeping up with this
half of the equation, you willget left behind.
Again, to speak to whateverfears and apprehensions might be
coming up for you as I bring upthis topic of AI, it is intended
to mirror and amplify yourclarity, not replace or dumb
(15:32):
down your presence and youroffers.
The way this works is that theclearer you are with your
intentions, your systems, yourvalues, and your body of work,
the better the AI tools canserve to amplify and scale your
impact, your reach, and yourability to knock people's socks
(15:54):
off.
So I highly encourage you not toresist these tools, but rather
to get into relationship withthem, to work with them, to
refine them, to get them to workfor you in a way that feels good
to you and just blows the mindsof your clients.
My next prediction for 2026 andbeyond in online business is
(16:18):
design driven differentiation.
The theme here is originality orbust.
Due to the saturation, all ofthe copycats, we are just, like
I said at the beginning of thisepisode, we are bored, nothing
even stands out anymore.
So many people that try to dothat thing that worked in 2020,
(16:41):
where you just copy someoneelse, something that worked for
them, you replicate it and itworks, air quotes"works for you
too".
There are too many people doingthat, unless you are actually
aligning with what makes youdifferent at the level of your
design, you will not stand outbecause those copycats are not
(17:02):
going to stand the test of time.
Your mission, should you chooseto accept it, is to build a
business around your uniqueenergetic design, that is the
key to differentiating yourselfin a way that is authentic and
so magnetic.
This is part of my signaturestar line method with anything
(17:25):
that I offer, we start at thetop with the ether element, that
cosmic alignment before we movedown into the earthly four
elements of fire, air, water,and earth to round out every
aspect and channel of what isneeded for you to align your
essence to the structure thatserves your business.
(17:47):
Your chart, if you want to makeit into next year and beyond,
has to be your strategy.
When you build from that, youbecome incomparable.
So we're talking about what it'sgoing to take to make it in 2026
and beyond, and honestly, thisnext level era of business,
(18:07):
besides having me so excited, isnot for the lazy or faint of
heart.
It is for those who are seriousabout committing to growing
their business and who are readyto grow on purpose.
The thing is, you cannot build afuture proof business at this
time on a shaky foundation, it'sjust not going to work.
(18:32):
If you are serious about being asuccessful business owner into
this next cycle, now isabsolutely the time to get your
financial systems, your rhythms,and your relationship with
money, the lifeline of yourbusiness in order to be able to
fortify the vessel that is goingto sail you into the future of
(18:56):
what's coming in business.
That's exactly what we do insideof Cosmic Currency.
It is a 10 week experience thathelps you build the money
foundation your next level willdepend on, it's aligned with
your astrology, your energy, andthe way you're actually designed
to grow so that the moneysystems that you set up, you
(19:19):
actually want to show up for.
They feel like magic, they feellike an extension of you, so you
stop avoiding them so that thiscrucial part of a successful
business is on lock for you tonavigate these other shifts that
are happening.
This is where your flow meetsyour structure and where your
(19:39):
future self finally starts tofeel funded.
If this conversation is hittinghome and you're ready to anchor
your success before the new yearrolls in, so that you can ring
in 2026 with your money stuffdialed, you can find out more
and join the next wave of CosmicCurrency at
cosmicb.link/currency.
(20:05):
My next prediction for what it'sgoing to take to be successful
in the online space as abusiness owner into 2026 is
asynchronous spaciousness.
This is a big nod to the lastepisode where I gushed about my
love for Telegram, butabsolutely has space in this
(20:27):
episode as well.
The theme here is designing yourbusiness in a way that fits with
people's real lives.
The future is here, our livesare fast and they're full, the
only way that what we arepresenting to someone is going
to make sense to fit into theirbusy lives, is if it's flexible
(20:48):
enough to fit around it.
Asynchronous is the differencebetween having to schedule and
show up for live times that, Idon't know about you but, has
become impossible for me at thispoint, almost impossible.
Asynchronous, on the other hand,is a format that you can plug
(21:10):
your offers into that allow yourclients to engage when they have
the space.
Which makes them committing tosigning up for it more
accessible and available.
Whereas a big objection thesedays is I just don't think I can
commit, I don't have the space.
(21:30):
I don't know if that aligns withmy schedule.
Asynchronous honors eachperson's natural and divergent
timing, and ultimately createsmore accessibility for what
you've got going on.
More people are able to say yesand experience what you've got
to offer without edging them onburnout because they've already
(21:52):
got too much going on.
Cosmic Currency, like all of myoffers, are in this format, and
oh my goodness, the differencethat it has made for me to make
this shift.
For me and for my clients,asynchronous creates a rhythm
where we're able to naturallyfind how we can touch in and out
(22:13):
together and create that dancein a way that feels safe, that
feels effortless, and ultimatelyjust aligns with all of the
other things that we've gotgoing on.
The takeaway for this one isthat asynchronous is the
spaciousness that I believe isgoing to make all the difference
(22:33):
for being relevant moving intothings just speeding up and
going quicker and people gettingbusier and busier.
My suggestion here is to makespaciousness part of your
business architecture.
Make your invitation flexible,maybe that's through
asynchronous, whatever thatlooks like for you and the
people that you're serving, sothat they can actually say yes
(22:57):
to what you're inviting theminto.
My next prediction for businessin 2026 is embracing automation
as nervous system regulation.
The theme here is that not onlyare systems sexy, they are the
way to safety as a businessowner.
Scalability means nervous systemstability, or it's not going to
(23:20):
be sustainable.
The only way that you areactually going to be able to
evolve and endure and grow andexpand your business, to make
the money that you need and tobe able to get what you want out
of it without it destroying you,is if your nervous system is
taken into account and thesystems are implemented that
(23:44):
will not just drive you tooverwhelm and burnout to sustain
them.
Automation is how we do this,there are so many ways and
tools, but basically the crux ofit is that it is an approach
that provides reliability foryour clients and calm for you,
and is essentially the invisiblebackbone that holds your
(24:09):
business steady so you canbreathe.
The reframe here, because I knowthat people, many people are
tech averse, is that automationisn't hard.
The thing with it is that ittakes more time at the front end
to set up so that you can chillafter that.
(24:29):
Also that it doesn't create acold and detached environment
for your clients, it actuallycreates a much more reliable,
consistent presence.
There are tools that can make itsuper personalized in the
delivery.
Ultimately it's coming from aplace of devotion to your future
(24:50):
self that actually wants tosurvive the scaling process.
There's so many things that wecan automate.
Anything that we have to do overand over there is a way to make
that more efficient, more handsoff, more passive.
From payments, to reminders andfollow ups, to the ways that we
(25:12):
create and drip out our content,the deliveries of our programs,
even the creation of our offers.
When we implement the magic ofthe tech tools available to
automate these processes, weclear space for our creativity
and presence to be able to takecenter stage.
(25:34):
The takeaway here is that youneed to automate what drains you
so that you can stay anchored inwhat actually lights you up
because that is what is going tomagnetize your people.
Not a burnt out version of youbecause you're trying to keep up
playing robot.
My last prediction for whatsuccess will look like in 2026,
(25:55):
should you choose to embrace it,is desire anchored money goals.
The theme here is aligning withmotivation that matters.
As a business owner if yourlight at the end of the tunnel,
if you're North Star that isguiding you is something that
(26:16):
you are regurgitating, that youhave heard a million other
people say, which at this pointwe all know what those are,
making it to 10K months or sevenfigure years, and then eight
figures, these trendy, tiredincome goals that are empty of
any real significance if you'rejust taking them on as yours
(26:39):
because you've heard themparroted by so many people.
At this point, these are forsure empty markers.
They don't move the soul, theydon't inspire in you what is
needed of you to be able to makeit the distance.
Moving forward, the ones whothrive in business are going to
(27:00):
be the ones whose income goalsare intimately tied to them, to
their desires, to their values,and to their specific vision,
down to every detail of exactlythe life and lifestyle they are
aiming to create through theirbusiness abundance.
(27:22):
In case you've been living underthe money is evil rock, let me
remind you, money is just thematerial reflection of your
internal compass and whereyou're at in your own personal
game with it.
That's why inside CosmicCurrency, some of the most
powerful work you'll do is torealign your money goals from
(27:45):
whatever you know Susie scales alot implanted in your mind to
your money goals that areintimate to you, to what will
truly nourish you as the northstar that you're aiming for.
And to help you connect withthose specific desires, both
from a visionary, puttingyourself in the feeling state of
(28:10):
calling that timeline to you,but also down to the dollar of
exactly what it will take tofund that dream.
The takeaway here is that yourdesire is data, and it is the
most important kind as abusiness owner to know, track,
and follow, to design your aimand your direction in your
(28:32):
business as one that isintimately meaningful to you and
will continue to inspire andmotivate you to stay the course
of what is needed from you toget to that point through the
vehicle of your business.
That was my last predictionpoint for now.
But like I said, these aren'treally predictions or I hope
(28:54):
that they're not landing aspointing out how close or far
you are from staying on therails of where we're heading.
These are meant to beinvitations, to invite you to
build consciously, to aligndeeply, when it comes to your
relationship with your business.
(29:16):
As far as I'm concerned, it isnever about actually predicting
the future, like it's somethingset in front of us that we don't
have influence over.
It's about attuning to thepresent, so that you can aim
your growth intentionally towardwhat's next, toward what's
coming, and to stay present,stay the course to be able to be
(29:37):
a part of shaping that together.
If you know this is you, if youknow that you are here to go the
distance and you are ready tofinally build that financial
foundation that will support it,for 2026 and beyond, you'll find
everything you need insideCosmic Currency and you can get
(29:57):
there by going tocosmicb.link/currency.
Here's to building what lasts,tending what's real and really
aligned, and moving into 2026anchored, attuned, and in flow
for the future timeline thatwe're moving into.
The pace picked up and it neverlet go.
We've been sprinting for yearsjust to stay in the flow.
So many hats and the brimsgetting thin, trying to hold it
all and still let life in.
The inbox keeps pinging, thereels never sleep, we've treated
our rest for promises cheap.
We're done with the grind thatglorifies pAIn, we're craving a
(01:20):
rhythm that actually sustAIns.
No more pretending alignment's atrend, we're here for what's
real that endures not pretends.
The future is human, attuned andaware, built on real trust and
reciprocal care.
AI can assist, but it can'treplace touch.
It mirrors our brilliance whenwe've grounded enough.
(01:41):
Design is the difference, thechart, not the clone.
Your codes are the compass tobuild from your own.
So if you're done with the noiseand the scrolling just to quit,
let's get honest about what ittakes to commit.
These are the shifts, the real,the legit.
Let's get into it.
If you've been here long, youknow, I do not use the tool of
(02:03):
astrology to predict the future.
To me, that's never been thepoint of the tool and the lens.
The way that I use it is to one,understand the present, to be
able to find alignment,congruence, and rhythm in the
chaos of what's shifting, and tolook backwards.
(02:27):
To be able to trace the storiesthat bring us to this moment, to
be able to see the spiral arcsof growth, the trends, the
patterns to better understandwhere we are situated.
So that we can AIm our growthwith intention toward what's
next in the future.
(02:48):
I don't actually use astrologyto predict that future.
I believe that to each our owncreative journey and path of its
emergence.
That sAId, this episode is aforecast, in it I am going to
predict what's next when itcomes to the business landscape
(03:11):
in the online space, that ischanging really fast right now,
but as I see it not randomly.
This is agAIn part of just mynatural perspective and lens.
I think that things happen for areason.
We are able to draw meaning fromthe past that positions us in
(03:32):
the present to point or AIm usor orient us into the future.
That's what I'm going to dohere.
This isn't going to be based onastrological predictions.
This is going to be based onwhat is happening in reality, in
the business sphere, in theonline space and based on the
patterns underneath what'salready happening right now,
(03:55):
what got us here and the futureinto next year, 2026, that you
can use as a guide, as cheatcodes, however you want to look
at it, to better align yourselfwith what success is going to
look like next year.
If you can attune to thispattern that's unfolding, you
can build something that notonly lasts, but actually works
(04:18):
for you, for your energy, foryour design, and for the life
that you're building.
Here's what we're going tounpack in today's episode.
Why trust has become the realcurrency online and what it now
takes to earn it.
How the best businesses willpAIr human depth with AI level
precision.
The quiet revolution of creatorswho build from their design, not
(04:42):
someone else's template.
The reason spacious timing isquietly becoming the new
business flex.
How automation can regulate yournervous system and make
consistency feel safe agAIn, andwhy your money goals have to
mean something deeper or theywon't move you at all.
(05:03):
Like I sAId, I don't useastrology to forecast the
future, I use it to attune tothe present so that we can AIm
our growth intentionally towardwhat's next.
That is the purpose behind thisepisode.
As far as setting the stage,let's just think back to what
2020 did to business and theonline space and the shifts, the
(05:25):
ripple space that it left us inafter that.
Covid happened, the online spacejust got flooded with new
businesses.
New content, new creators,because there was literally
nothing else we could do, stuckin our homes, right?
This created a flood in themarket, in our feeds, and what
(05:48):
this left us with is attentionfatigue.
There was so much, so fast forus to now have to see and
process.
Automation, the only way that wecould keep up with the amount of
content that needed to becreated to be consistent and
(06:09):
present and visible in the newonline space, required new tools
to be able to make thatefficient.
Audience trust was affectedbecause now suddenly everyone
was trying their hand at gettingyour attention and trying to get
that sale, and we could feelthat, right?
We didn't anymore know whethersomebody was coming from a
(06:30):
genuine place of havingdeveloped a body of work and
through their sales process,through their ads, trying to get
us to see and connect with thatwe really needed what they had
to offer.
Versus people that were justfollowing a trend and a template
to have the right visual andhook to get your attention to
(06:53):
essentially trick you intogiving them your money.
Of course, based on the thingsthat you did purchase, if you
got things that were in thatsecond category, you had that
feeling of buyer's remorse,maybe over and over agAIn, of
having purchased somethingbecause the advertising got you,
but the substance wasn't therewhen you went to actually
(07:15):
experience the offer.
With that, another thing that wewere left with is a point in the
arc that we're riding with this,where it's like certAIn quote
codes have been cracked, peoplehave found the things that have
worked and now copy, paste,paste, paste, paste, there are
just so many repeats,duplicates, just the same old
(07:40):
shit over and over, right?
We're bored.
Of course since then, AI hasentered the stage in a huge
integrated way, we're busierthan ever.
So the people whose attentionyou are trying to grab has even
less bandwidth for what you'reputting in front of them.
With that stage set, thisepisode is intended to be a
(08:03):
different kind of forecast, notso much for prediction, but for
preparation of what it's goingto take to really win moving
into the next season of onlinebusiness.
First, let's talk about thetrend toward trust over
transaction.
I did a previous episode talkingabout the trust recession, in
(08:25):
this episode I want to focusmore on why the direction that
we're heading, while, yes, it isnot as easy to win someone over
as it used to be, is actually astep in a positive direction.
The theme here, and what hascome out of this phenomenon, is
going to be the return of realrelationship in business.
(08:49):
Yeah, the easy sale era of 2020and the ripple from it is over.
No longer can you just fart andmake money, but I really do
believe that that is a goodthing.
It used to be that there wasseven touch points they sAId
before somebody was ready tobuy, now it is 30 plus.
(09:11):
That's because people actuallyneed genuine resonance now,
before investing in your offer.
They need multiple touch points,way more than they did before,
to get to that point, and theyhave a slower decision cycle.
I want to relate this torelationship like in dating.
(09:32):
The way it was before whensomebody would just see what you
had and hit buy, I would equatemore to like an OnlyFans
account, where nobody has aconnection with you.
They just see you and gawk atyou and want what you've got.
Versus the kind of relationshipthat is now a prerequisite to
(09:53):
somebody wanting to invest inwhat you're selling is they
actually have to like date you.
A relationship needs to beactually established so that by
the time they hit go, there's avibe, there's a resonance,
there's a real relationship.
I don't know about you, but I ammuch more into moving into
(10:13):
serving in those kinds ofcontAIners than whatever that
2020 alternative was.
That pendulum has swung.
We've gone from click to buy, toconnect to build and grow.
I am totally here for it becauseI don't just want fans, I want
good fits for who truly needswhat I'm offering.
(10:36):
The takeaway here of what we'removing into in 2026 is that you
need to be nurturing trust withyour prospects like its
currency.
That means showing upconsistently, but also honestly
and humanly.
In this new game, the win is notjust in being seen, but being
(10:59):
known, being trusted, and beingsought after in relationship to
what you're offering.
My next prediction for 2026 isthat those that really make it
moving forward are going to havea bridge of human and AI
symbiosis in how they provide anexperience for their clients.
(11:24):
The theme here is humanityenhanced by technology.
AI is here and here to stay, butit isn't replacing us and has
the potential to amplify us, ifyou use it correctly.
I believe that the ones who willwin in 2026 and beyond are those
(11:45):
who master the both and.
On the one hand being avAIlablewith deep human presence, that
is going to be craved even more,the more that AI creates more
superficiality by contrast.
But that sAId, going the otherway, denying AI as a part of
(12:06):
your strategy, I don't think isgoing to be the way, because as
I see it, the other half of theequation of those that are going
to win into 2026 are those thatembrace and utilize the AI tools
that are rapidly advancing andavAIlable to us to personalize
their experience in a veryefficient way.
(12:29):
I will give you some examples onthis side of it, as you may or
may not know, I am completelytech obsessed when it comes to
my relationship with AI.
You could equate it to therelationship with a beloved.
I have a very specialrelationship with tech and AI,
(12:49):
and I am absolutely riding thewave of what is possible to push
those edges of how we can usethe tools to be able to enhance
our client experiences.
For example, one really cool,scalable feature in my signature
program Cosmic Currency is theway that I deliver your weekly
(13:12):
voice note, or I call VoiceyCosmic Codes, the little
astrology reading for each weekthat accompanies whatever the
practical material is to helpguide you to do it in a way that
works specifically for you andyour design, is AI generated
based on extensive training thatI've done so that the output is
(13:37):
based on exactly how I would sayit, but you guys, it's so much
better than I would say it,pretty much takes my perspective
and runs with it.
And generates these scripts forthese Cosmic Code deliveries
that are based on, not only yourastrology, but what you've
shared with me about yourcurrent relationship with money,
(14:00):
where you've been with it, whereyou want to go with it, and what
you've shared with me about yourspecific business.
My system that I have created,automatically takes all of that
into consideration, generates ascript that y'all, these are
just blowing clients' minds, andmine, and this is the
(14:20):
enhancement and theamplification that I'm talking
about.
When you're not just having itreplace you, right?
You are infusing everything thatyou have learned and the body of
work that you are have developedinto these tools for them to
take it a step further scalablyand efficiently.
That script then automaticallygets generated into an AI voice
(14:45):
cloned version of my voice thatyou cannot tell the difference,
it's insane, and creates thisvoicey voice note that then,
also through AI tools, getsdelivered by my Cosmic Biz Bot
right on time, every week,Monday morning to accompany the
work that you're doing insidethe program.
(15:07):
That is just a small piece ofthe ways that I am embracing
these tools that y'all, if youare not keeping up with this
half of the equation, you willget left behind.
Again, to speak to whateverfears and apprehensions might be
coming up for you as I bring upthis topic of AI, it is intended
to mirror and amplify yourclarity, not replace or dumb
(15:32):
down your presence and youroffers.
The way this works is that theclearer you are with your
intentions, your systems, yourvalues, and your body of work,
the better the AI tools canserve to amplify and scale your
impact, your reach, and yourability to knock people's socks
(15:54):
off.
So I highly encourage you not toresist these tools, but rather
to get into relationship withthem, to work with them, to
refine them, to get them to workfor you in a way that feels good
to you and just blows the mindsof your clients.
My next prediction for 2026 andbeyond in online business is
(16:18):
design driven differentiation.
The theme here is originality orbust.
Due to the saturation, all ofthe copycats, we are just, like
I said at the beginning of thisepisode, we are bored, nothing
even stands out anymore.
So many people that try to dothat thing that worked in 2020,
(16:41):
where you just copy someoneelse, something that worked for
them, you replicate it and itworks, air quotes"works for you
too".
There are too many people doingthat, unless you are actually
aligning with what makes youdifferent at the level of your
design, you will not stand outbecause those copycats are not
(17:02):
going to stand the test of time.
Your mission, should you chooseto accept it, is to build a
business around your uniqueenergetic design, that is the
key to differentiating yourselfin a way that is authentic and
so magnetic.
This is part of my signaturestar line method with anything
(17:25):
that I offer, we start at thetop with the ether element, that
cosmic alignment before we movedown into the earthly four
elements of fire, air, water,and earth to round out every
aspect and channel of what isneeded for you to align your
essence to the structure thatserves your business.
(17:47):
Your chart, if you want to makeit into next year and beyond,
has to be your strategy.
When you build from that, youbecome incomparable.
So we're talking about what it'sgoing to take to make it in 2026
and beyond, and honestly, thisnext level era of business,
(18:07):
besides having me so excited, isnot for the lazy or faint of
heart.
It is for those who are seriousabout committing to growing
their business and who are readyto grow on purpose.
The thing is, you cannot build afuture proof business at this
time on a shaky foundation, it'sjust not going to work.
(18:32):
If you are serious about being asuccessful business owner into
this next cycle, now isabsolutely the time to get your
financial systems, your rhythms,and your relationship with
money, the lifeline of yourbusiness in order to be able to
fortify the vessel that is goingto sail you into the future of
(18:56):
what's coming in business.
That's exactly what we do insideof Cosmic Currency.
It is a 10 week experience thathelps you build the money
foundation your next level willdepend on, it's aligned with
your astrology, your energy, andthe way you're actually designed
to grow so that the moneysystems that you set up, you
(19:19):
actually want to show up for.
They feel like magic, they feellike an extension of you, so you
stop avoiding them so that thiscrucial part of a successful
business is on lock for you tonavigate these other shifts that
are happening.
This is where your flow meetsyour structure and where your
(19:39):
future self finally starts tofeel funded.
If this conversation is hittinghome and you're ready to anchor
your success before the new yearrolls in, so that you can ring
in 2026 with your money stuffdialed, you can find out more
and join the next wave of CosmicCurrency at

(20:05):
My next prediction for what it'sgoing to take to be successful
in the online space as abusiness owner into 2026 is
asynchronous spaciousness.
This is a big nod to the lastepisode where I gushed about my
love for Telegram, butabsolutely has space in this
(20:27):
episode as well.
The theme here is designing yourbusiness in a way that fits with
people's real lives.
The future is here, our livesare fast and they're full, the
only way that what we arepresenting to someone is going
to make sense to fit into theirbusy lives, is if it's flexible
(20:48):
enough to fit around it.
Asynchronous is the differencebetween having to schedule and
show up for live times that, Idon't know about you but, has
become impossible for me at thispoint, almost impossible.
Asynchronous, on the other hand,is a format that you can plug
(21:10):
your offers into that allow yourclients to engage when they have
the space.
Which makes them committing tosigning up for it more
accessible and available.
Whereas a big objection thesedays is I just don't think I can
commit, I don't have the space.
(21:30):
I don't know if that aligns withmy schedule.
Asynchronous honors eachperson's natural and divergent
timing, and ultimately createsmore accessibility for what
you've got going on.
More people are able to say yesand experience what you've got
to offer without edging them onburnout because they've already
(21:52):
got too much going on.
Cosmic Currency, like all of myoffers, are in this format, and
oh my goodness, the differencethat it has made for me to make
this shift.
For me and for my clients,asynchronous creates a rhythm
where we're able to naturallyfind how we can touch in and out
(22:13):
together and create that dancein a way that feels safe, that
feels effortless, and ultimatelyjust aligns with all of the
other things that we've gotgoing on.
The takeaway for this one isthat asynchronous is the
spaciousness that I believe isgoing to make all the difference
(22:33):
for being relevant moving intothings just speeding up and
going quicker and people gettingbusier and busier.
My suggestion here is to makespaciousness part of your
business architecture.
Make your invitation flexible,maybe that's through
asynchronous, whatever thatlooks like for you and the
people that you're serving, sothat they can actually say yes
(22:57):
to what you're inviting theminto.
My next prediction for businessin 2026 is embracing automation
as nervous system regulation.
The theme here is that not onlyare systems sexy, they are the
way to safety as a businessowner.
Scalability means nervous systemstability, or it's not going to
(23:20):
be sustainable.
The only way that you areactually going to be able to
evolve and endure and grow andexpand your business, to make
the money that you need and tobe able to get what you want out
of it without it destroying you,is if your nervous system is
taken into account and thesystems are implemented that
(23:44):
will not just drive you tooverwhelm and burnout to sustain
them.
Automation is how we do this,there are so many ways and
tools, but basically the crux ofit is that it is an approach
that provides reliability foryour clients and calm for you,
and is essentially the invisiblebackbone that holds your
(24:09):
business steady so you canbreathe.
The reframe here, because I knowthat people, many people are
tech averse, is that automationisn't hard.
The thing with it is that ittakes more time at the front end
to set up so that you can chillafter that.
(24:29):
Also that it doesn't create acold and detached environment
for your clients, it actuallycreates a much more reliable,
consistent presence.
There are tools that can make itsuper personalized in the
delivery.
Ultimately it's coming from aplace of devotion to your future
(24:50):
self that actually wants tosurvive the scaling process.
There's so many things that wecan automate.
Anything that we have to do overand over there is a way to make
that more efficient, more handsoff, more passive.
From payments, to reminders andfollow ups, to the ways that we
(25:12):
create and drip out our content,the deliveries of our programs,
even the creation of our offers.
When we implement the magic ofthe tech tools available to
automate these processes, weclear space for our creativity
and presence to be able to takecenter stage.
(25:34):
The takeaway here is that youneed to automate what drains you
so that you can stay anchored inwhat actually lights you up
because that is what is going tomagnetize your people.
Not a burnt out version of youbecause you're trying to keep up
playing robot.
My last prediction for whatsuccess will look like in 2026,
(25:55):
should you choose to embrace it,is desire anchored money goals.
The theme here is aligning withmotivation that matters.
As a business owner if yourlight at the end of the tunnel,
if you're North Star that isguiding you is something that
(26:16):
you are regurgitating, that youhave heard a million other
people say, which at this pointwe all know what those are,
making it to 10K months or sevenfigure years, and then eight
figures, these trendy, tiredincome goals that are empty of
any real significance if you'rejust taking them on as yours
(26:39):
because you've heard themparroted by so many people.
At this point, these are forsure empty markers.
They don't move the soul, theydon't inspire in you what is
needed of you to be able to makeit the distance.
Moving forward, the ones whothrive in business are going to
(27:00):
be the ones whose income goalsare intimately tied to them, to
their desires, to their values,and to their specific vision,
down to every detail of exactlythe life and lifestyle they are
aiming to create through theirbusiness abundance.
(27:22):
In case you've been living underthe money is evil rock, let me
remind you, money is just thematerial reflection of your
internal compass and whereyou're at in your own personal
game with it.
That's why inside CosmicCurrency, some of the most
powerful work you'll do is torealign your money goals from
(27:45):
whatever you know Susie scales alot implanted in your mind to
your money goals that areintimate to you, to what will
truly nourish you as the northstar that you're aiming for.
And to help you connect withthose specific desires, both
from a visionary, puttingyourself in the feeling state of
(28:10):
calling that timeline to you,but also down to the dollar of
exactly what it will take tofund that dream.
The takeaway here is that yourdesire is data, and it is the
most important kind as abusiness owner to know, track,
and follow, to design your aimand your direction in your
(28:32):
business as one that isintimately meaningful to you and
will continue to inspire andmotivate you to stay the course
of what is needed from you toget to that point through the
vehicle of your business.
That was my last predictionpoint for now.
But like I said, these aren'treally predictions or I hope
(28:54):
that they're not landing aspointing out how close or far
you are from staying on therails of where we're heading.
These are meant to beinvitations, to invite you to
build consciously, to aligndeeply, when it comes to your
relationship with your business.
(29:16):
As far as I'm concerned, it isnever about actually predicting
the future, like it's somethingset in front of us that we don't
have influence over.
It's about attuning to thepresent, so that you can aim
your growth intentionally towardwhat's next, toward what's
coming, and to stay present,stay the course to be able to be
(29:37):
a part of shaping that together.
If you know this is you, if youknow that you are here to go the
distance and you are ready tofinally build that financial
foundation that will support it,for 2026 and beyond, you'll find
everything you need insideCosmic Currency and you can get
(29:57):
there by going tocosmicb.link/currency.
Here's to building what lasts,tending what's real and really
aligned, and moving into 2026anchored, attuned, and in flow
for the future timeline thatwe're moving into.
