Building a Spiritual Business from Scratch: The Real Talk No One Shares

Welcome to the very first episode of The Pathless Path Podcast. We’re Kiki and Naya, two women with different backgrounds, stories, and callings, coming together to build something rooted in truth, spirituality, and community.

This episode is raw and honest. After an eight-hour tech meltdown the day before, we decided to hit record and talk about it, because this is exactly why we started the podcast: to show up as we are. No filters. No perfect edits. Just real conversations.

We dive into:

• What really happened behind the scenes (yes, it was that chaotic)
• Why failure is part of the process, especially when you’re doing it all with a limited budget and big vision
• The pressure of comparing yourself to polished online brands while you’re still figuring it out
• How having a creative partner can keep you grounded when you’re tempted to give up
• Why communication, accountability, and shared values matter more than anything when building something from the ground up

We also share how our friendship began years ago during a Reiki Master program, and how the seeds of this collaboration were planted back then, even though we didn’t know it yet. From a spontaneous phone call to launching a podcast, this is the story of how things organically unfold when you’re aligned (and willing to trust the unknown).

Toward the end, we introduce what you can expect from future episodes:

• Honest discussions on spirituality, energy healing, modern life, and staying authentic
• The reality of being a creator, healer, and entrepreneur in today’s world
• Creating a space for people who feel like they don’t quite fit into the typical mold

You’ll hear about our personal spiritual paths, Kiki’s work with energy, sound, and nurturing tools for healing, and Naya’s work with sacred medicine, nature, and intuitive guidance. We may not love labels, but we both feel called to serve in our own ways, through voice, presence, and co-creation.

If you’ve ever felt lost, tired of pretending, or unsure where to turn next… this space is for you.

We’re starting from the ground, but we’re showing up anyway.

This is The Pathless Path and we’re just getting started.

With love Naya & Kiki.
