Finance & Organization Tips for Entrepreneurs, Blending Strategy & Astrology – Chaos to Peace with Conny

As we head into the year’s most reflective season, I’m sharing my simple Word of the Year process that I tie in with the Winter Solstice and the 12 Holy Nights ritual. I’ll walk you through how I choose the word including a bonus tip if you can't decide. 

I'll also share why a guiding word can feel like it’s “not working”, including some of my past words and what they taught me. 

If you're interested in my 12 Holy Nigh...

In this epsiode the wonderful Katie Pulsifer joins me. Katie is a coach who helps women rediscover who they are after big life shifts (think: raising kids, navigating empty nesting or stepping out of high-powered corporate roles).

She opens up about her own journey, the big leap from working as an employee and teacher to returning to full-time entrepreneurship. We dive deep into what it really takes to move through uncertain transit...

In this episode we take a look at the popular advice to “spend to save taxes.” Together we walk through a simple example that shows why buying random things at the end of the year just to reduce profit is usually a losing game for your bank account and your peace of mind.

Instead of trying to get rid of profit (hear how backwards that sounds?), I invite you to see profit as something you can direct. I'll suggest calmer, more em...

I invite you to slow down the Black Friday frenzy and honestly look at how you are spending. Are you buying “just in time” to solve a real problem in your business, or “just in case” because of FOMO and clever marketing? 

Together we explore how Black Friday plays with our nervous system, why “just in case” courses and tools often turn into digital and financial clutter, not to mention mental and emotional chaos. I also talk about h...

Building on last week’s Mercury Retrograde Money Audit, I invite you to take an honest look at your unfinished business like the started projects, half-baked ideas, and unmade decisions still lingering in the background.

I share how these open loops quietly drain your energy, focus, and even profit. You’ll hear real-life examples from my clients, my own business, and insights from a book I recently read. The practical part is a simp...

In this episode, I help you move from financial fog and reactive chaos to clarity and confidence through a Mercury Retrograde Audit of your business vision and finances.

I’ll walk you through the two key retrograde phases, from broad to deep, from vision to verification, and I show you how to use this cosmic slowdown as a powerful time for reflection and realignment.

Have you also seen videos on social media that made you stop and think "wait... is that real?" 

It's not just AI slop that's deceiving us. We're also deceiving ourselves every time we look at someone else's life and think their grass is just naturally greener.

In this episode, I share a mind-bending insight from Dr. David Hawkins that can completely reframed how you think about deception (both external a...

Change is hard, not because we don’t know how, but because we don’t always want to. In this episode, I explore what really fuels resistance and how it shows up differently for each of the four elements (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water). 

You’ll recognize your own patterns around change and what’s keeping you stuck, whether that's in your business finances, your systems, or your mindset. The key to change isn’t another “how-to.”, it...

"I just need to make more money" or "I just need a few more clients" If you've ever thought that... and then made more money but still didn't have enough, this episode is for you.

Today I'm sharing why your money problem probably isn't what you think it is, and the one question that changes everything when you ask it. 

Fair warning: this goes deep. But if you're tired of the anxiety-avoida...

We’ve been taught that independence equals strength. Especially as women, we tell ourselves we should be able to do it all: the finances, the strategy, the planning, and hold it all together.

But what if that belief is what’s keeping you stuck and exhausted? What if real strength isn’t about doing it alone?

In this episode, I talk about why having support doesn’t make you weak, it makes you wiser. I share new research from the Univer...

What if the relationships in your life are weighing you down more than you realize? In this episode, I talk about how to identify what I call 'social clutter' - the friendships, commitments, and connections that drain your energy rather than fill you up. 

Learn the love tour technique to first appreciate your positive relationships, then honestly assess what's no longer serving you and implementing practical steps to ...

In this episode, I explore how different decision-making styles play out. I cover the range between endless research for the “perfect” option to impulsive decision for "good enough". 

I also look through the lens of the four element types (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water) and how each type approaches decisions, their common traps, and practical ways for them to move forward. 

You’ll hear about simple but powerful tools plus ext...

Indecision, aka sitting on the fence, is a sneaky form of mental clutter. It drains our energy without moving us forward. In this episode, I explore what it really costs us, why half-decisions rarely work, and share a simple framework for moving off the fence into "all-in"-action.

If you struggle with believing in yourself, I also share an insight from my mentor that made me chuckle (hint: it may or may not involve a unico...

According to the Personality Theory our greatest strengths can become our biggest weaknesses, especially when we lean on them too hard. 

In this episode, I shine a light on this pattern from the perspective of the dominant elements. How the Fire type’s passion can turn into frustration, the Earth type’s reliability into stubbornness, the Air type’s brilliant ideas into scatteredness, and the Water Type’s empathy into  overwhelm and ...

What if I told you we're all paying taxes beyond what goes to the government? We pay mental taxes (worry and guilt), emotional taxes (stress and resentment), and even spiritual taxes when our spending isn't aligned with our values. 

In this episode, discover how to start shifting from money anxiety to more cheerful spending using ancient Stoic wisdom and modern mindset tools. I offer three practical techniques to transform...

Some words trigger our inner bully — you know, that harsh voice that criticizes and tears us down. I recently was taught that one of those words is self-improvement. In this episode, I want to pass on what I learned, why to let it go, what to use instead on your journey from chaos to peace.

Let’s explore what happens when we’re pushing ourselves to reach a goal… versus when something is pulling us forward. and also the connection to perfectionism! This ties right into the work I do around chaos vs peace and supportive vs restrictive order from last weeks episode and I introduce you to a way how perfectionism often sneaks in through the back door without you realizing it.
