Each issue of The Inside Work offers a glimpse into the rhythms, teachings, and real conversations happening inside the Sacred Business Network — where heart-centered entrepreneurs turn business into a living practice of becoming.

Whether you’re already part of our circle or just beginning to explore, what you’ll find here isn’t information. It’s orientation — a reminder that growth begins within.

💗 This Month’s Frequency : Service

Not helping everyone, but knowing exactly who you’re here to serve.

When Service flows through your work, your offers become crystal clear. Marketing becomes easier because you know who you’re talking to. And business becomes the natural extension of the specific gift you’re meant to give.

This month’s gatherings, trainings, and reflections all center on this truth: 💫 You don’t need more certifications. You only need to trust your focused service is enough.

💗 This Month’s Frequency : Love

Not emotion, but expansion — your capacity to give, receive, and stay open.

When Love flows through your work, clients become reflections rather than transactions.
Visibility becomes devotion.
And business becomes a practice of remembering who you really are.

This month’s gatherings, trainings, and reflections all center on this truth:
💫 You don’t have to earn love. You only have to allow it.

Hey there!

Whether you're a valued member of our Sacred Business Network or someone curious about our community, welcome to this week's update!

For our members - thank you for being part of this growing family of entrepreneurs who understand that business success and spiritual growth aren't separate paths. This is your weekly source for community updates, opportunities, and celebrations.

For those exploring our community - this newsletter offers a window into what makes the Sacred Business Network special. You'll get a taste of our connected approach to entrepreneurship and the supportive environment we're building together.

Now, let's dive into what's happening in our network this week...

The Vitality Code: Transform your Body, unleash your authentic power

An important reminder to add to your calendar: Join us this Thursday, May 15th at noon EST for a transformative workshop with Brian Pruett.

Vitality isn't just about physical health—it's about allowing creative energy to flow through you and following the insights and "crazy ideas" you secretly hold in your heart.

The more connected you are to your body, the less you get stuck in your head and limiting stories. Your physical wellbeing directly impacts your success, confidence, and ability to show up authentically for yourself and loved ones. Brian has a unique coaching approach that aligns body and mind, building confidence from the inside out.

If you struggle with self-doubt or crave greater vitality and excitement in life, Brian may have the message you've been waiting for. Don't miss this opportunity to transform your relationship with your body and unlock your full potential.

See you there!

Join Us Thursday, May 15th at Noon Eastern

In our exclusive fireside chat with Brian, we'll explore:

• Navigating Challenges with Embodied Resilience: Discuss how feeling connected to your body provides the foundation for moving through business and life obstacles with greater ease and confidence.

• Authenticity Beyond External Opinions: Explore the body-mind connection that allows you to stay grounded in your truth and less affected by others' judgments or expectations.

• Vitality as Your Creative Catalyst: Discover how physical vitality becomes the energy source that empowers you to follow through on your inspired ideas and bring your unique vision to life.

Beyond the Physical: Vitality as a Business Foundation

While Brian is known for fitness (his Team Vitality community on Ladder Fitness now approaches 15,000 members), his approach to energy management provides the perfect foundation for entrepreneurial courage.

His belief that "comfort creates complacency and growth happens when you push beyond" applies directly to the visibility work required in your Sacred Business.

Your Questions Welcome!

Have you hesitated to post that video? Held back from sharing your message? Worried about judgment when stepping fully into your expertise?

Reply to this email with your specific questions about visibility, criticism, and authentic growth. Brian's experience navigating these waters with a massive audience gives him unique wisdom to share.

This workshop is exclusively available to Sacred Business Network members. If you're not yet part of our community, now is the perfect time to join.

Will you be there? Reply with "I'M IN" to confirm your attendance.

P.S. Brian's reminder that "your growth doesn't need to be validated by others for it to be real" might be exactly what you need to hear right now. Don't miss this conversation.

The Whipped Cream Lesson: Brian Pruett on Visibility, Criticism & Authentic Growth

What happens when a fitness expert with nearly 800,000 followers posts a playful video that gets misinterpreted by the internet? Valuable lessons emerge that apply directly to your entrepreneurial journey.

A Story About Being Seen

Recently, Brian Pruett (our upcoming workshop guest) posted a video of himself surprising his wife with whipped cream to the face—a birthday prank she had actually requested. What viewers didn't see was the family laughter afterward, the dancing together, or the fact that his daughter was in on the fun.

What followed was a wave of judgment from strangers who didn't have the full context.

Rather than becoming defensive, Brian extracted powerful insights about visibility that apply perfectly to heart-centered entrepreneurs:

"If you put yourself out there into the world, whether through content or just stepping outside your comfort zone, you open yourself up to being judged and misunderstood. You have to accept being misunderstood."

Sound familiar? This is exactly the fear that keeps many of us from being fully visible in our businesses.

Join Us Thursday, May 15th at Noon Eastern

In our exclusive fireside chat with Brian, we'll explore:

• How to maintain your core values (Brian's are love, respect, and playfulness) while increasing visibility

• Why "people's opinions cannot make or break you" and how to truly embody this truth

• The liberating perspective that "true success is when those who know you best love and respect you the most"

• Practical strategies for handling criticism while staying energetically aligned

Beyond the Physical: Vitality as a Business Foundation

Sacred Business Collective: Your Voice Matters for "Divine Connection"

Just 10 days remain to submit your perspective for our May Writers Collective issue exploring "Divine Connection" — and your contribution holds more power than you might think.

First, let's celebrate what we've created together. Our April issue on "The Remembering" beautifully illustrated how abundance isn't something external we pursue, but a state we already embody. , , , , and each brought unique insights that, when woven together, created something far more meaningful than any single voice could achieve.

Three Powerful Benefits of Sharing Your Wisdom

When you contribute to our collective, these three things happen:

1. Your reach expands significantly - Selected essays reach over 10,000 Sacred Business Flow subscribers plus the combined audiences of all featured contributors through our CrossPosting approach.

2. Your authority deepens naturally - Being featured alongside other heart-centered thought leaders positions you as an expert on topics that matter to your ideal audience.

3. Your own clarity sharpens - Writing about Divine Connection often reveals insights you didn't realize you had access to within yourself.

Every Submission Creates Value

Here's something important we want to clarify: every submission creates visibility for you and your work.

Even if your essay isn't selected for the main publication, it will still be shared as a post on the Collective page and promoted through Substack Notes. You'll also receive a columnist profile with links back to your publication, increasing your discoverability.

If you submitted last month – thank you for your courage and wisdom! We hope you'll continue sharing your unique perspective. If you haven't submitted yet – this is the perfect moment to start.

May Theme: Divine Connection

This month we're exploring how we align with something greater than ourselves in our business and life.

• What does Divine Connection mean in your experience?

• How has it shaped your entrepreneurial journey?

• What practices help you maintain this connection through business challenges?

Submission deadline: May 14th

Check the guidelines and submit your contribution here

Remember, your perspective matters deeply. Your insights might be exactly what someone in our community needs to hear right now.

With appreciation,

Phil

🌟 Member Spotlight: Sol Slade

Meet Sol Slade, a Mental Fitness coach who helps sustainability professionals fall back in love with their work—and themselves. After noticing how many purpose-driven people were struggling with burnout despite their passion, Sol developed a unique approach focused on three essential practices that most overlook.

As Sol explains, his work helps clients "tune into the things we don't always notice": body awareness (interoception), thought pattern recognition (metacognition), and emotional processing. This powerful combination allows sustainability leaders to maintain their drive while avoiding the exhaustion that often comes with purpose-led work.

Totally aligned with our Sacred Business approach!

Based in Hertfordshire, UK, Sol founded The Alt Academy just over a year ago, bringing his nature-inspired approach to both individual clients and organizations. Though his business is still in early growth stages, his work addresses a critical need in the sustainability sector—where burnout rates are particularly high among those most passionate about creating change.

Sol's philosophy mirrors his own life balance: just as he finds renewal through woodland walks and good books, he helps clients discover sustainable wellbeing practices that amplify their impact rather than diminish it. His approach proves that effectiveness in purpose-driven work comes not from pushing harder, but from cultivating deeper awareness.

Currently expanding his network of organizational partnerships, Sol is open to podcast appearances, guest workshops, cross-promotions, and accountability partnerships. His work demonstrates that sometimes the most powerful sustainability practice is learning how to sustain ourselves first.

📣 April Network Theme Announced: Divine Connection - Opening Ourselves to Something Greater

We're excited to reveal our Sacred Business Network theme for April: Divine Connection.

This powerful theme will guide all our activities throughout the month—from Carolina's embodiment classes to our community discussions and the second issue of our Sacred Business Writers Collective slated for a May release.

Why Divine Connection matters for your Sacred Business:

As Carolina explains in our theme overview video (members only), when we don't feel connected to something bigger than ourselves, true fulfillment remains out of reach. Without this connection:

• Business becomes a zero-sum game where someone must lose for you to win

• Fear of competition takes over, causing constant comparison with others

• Trust in your own intuition weakens, making it harder to create with confidence

Divine Connection invites us to recognize that we're guided by something greater—helping us align our business with our heart, passions, and highest purpose.

Ways to engage with this theme in May:

• Embodiment Practice: Sacred Growth Club members can join live classes Tuesdays and Thursdays where Carolina will lead movement practices that help rewire limiting beliefs at the body level. Network members will receive one powerful prerecorded class focused on Divine Connection.

• Social Mixer - April 30th at noon Eastern: Members, mark your calendar for our monthly community gathering where we'll explore Divine Connection through meaningful conversations in small groups.

• Writer’s Collective Contribution: Share your perspective on Divine Connection for our May issue.

  • Submission deadline: May 14, 2024

  • Publication date: May 31, 2024

This month offers a perfect opportunity to strengthen your connection with your inner guidance, your community, and the greater purpose behind your work.

Watch the complete theme overview to hear Carolina and Phil explain why this theme is essential for your Sacred Business growth.

🌟 Member Spotlight: Kristoffer “KC” Carter

Meet , the author of Permission to Glow—A Spiritual Guide to Epic Leadership and the mind behind Permission to Chill, where spirituality meets practical leadership. After facing significant personal challenges including childhood trauma and addiction, K.C. transformed his path and now guides Fortune 500 executives at companies like Amazon, AT&T, and Edward Jones through his organization, Epic Leadership.

As K.C. shared in his content, "I couldn't find the grace, or joy in my life without facing the depths of my pain." This profound insight fuels his approach to leadership development, where meditation, self-acceptance, and conscious living form the foundation of both personal and professional growth.

Based in Akron, Ohio, K.C. brings his background as a yogi and Board Member of Yoga Alliance to his work, helping thousands establish daily meditation practices. His teachings merge ancient wisdom with modern leadership challenges—creating space for leaders to be both effective and authentic.

K.C. is currently growing Permission to Chill as a community where members engage in weekly practices, deepen their meditation skills, and learn to face life's challenges with grace. His approach proves that true leadership power comes not from pushing harder, but from creating what he calls "a wider, softer space" of self-acceptance and purpose.

🌟 Member Spotlight:

Meet Filip, a client success strategist who helps entrepreneurs and coaches build businesses where clients don't just buy once and disappear, but stay, get real results, and happily upgrade. After facing a life-threatening health crisis that served as his wake-up call, Filip pivoted from high-level launch strategy to his true calling – helping businesses create exceptional client experiences.

As Filip shared in his recent Sacred Business Stories interview, "I always cared about my clients and my clients' clients...I realized that not a lot of people are paying attention to basically what happens after clients come into their world." His approach proves that focusing on existing clients rather than constantly chasing new ones creates both greater fulfillment and better business outcomes.

Based in Zagreb, Croatia, Filip brings his philosophy of "amor fati" – embracing every part of the journey – to his work through the Client Flow™ Mentorship. Over 12 weeks, he helps entrepreneurs map, optimize, and scale their client experience to reduce churn, increase lifetime value, and unlock significant backend revenue.

Filip is currently growing Client Flow as not just a business, but a movement that demonstrates the best way to scale isn't chasing the next sale – it's building a business where clients succeed and fuel your growth naturally.

🌟 Member Spotlight: Eliarani Kanak Rajah

Meet Elia, an embodied healing and integrative wellness guide who helps sensitive souls transform their relationship with themselves. Based in Dubai, Elia brings together advanced therapeutic practices, somatic wisdom, and embodiment techniques to create powerful spaces for deep transformation.

As a certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist and facilitator of Trauma-Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY)—an evidence-based approach validated for treating PTSD—Elia offers both scientific rigor and heart-centered compassion in her practice.

Her work especially resonates with highly sensitive individuals carrying personal, intergenerational, or cultural burdens who are ready to reclaim their wholeness, worthiness, and wellness.

Elia embodies the Sacred Business principles by honoring both the practical and mystical aspects of transformation, creating offerings that respect the interconnection between mind, body, spirit, and community.

📅 Event Highlight: Two Incredible Sacred Business Stories Live Episodes

This week we have not one but two incredible Sacred Business Stories episodes happening on Substack Live. And they're both people I am so excited for you to learn from and get to know better.

First up is my longtime ally Kristoffer “KC” Carter, of . We've traveled together, visited Michael Singer's Temple of the Universe together, and co-created retreats in Costa Rica. KC is an organizational leadership coach who works with Fortune 500 leaders, helping organizations lead change and innovation rather than simply managing it.

He has an amazing book, "Permission to Glow: A Spiritual Guide to Epic Leadership," leads retreats at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, and serves on the board of directors for Yoga Alliance. KC was an early example for me of someone living a yogic householder lifestyle while building an effective, successful business. He truly exemplifies Sacred Business principles, and I'm thrilled for you to learn from him on Wednesday, March 26th at 10am Eastern.

Then on Friday at 1pm Eastern, we'll be joined by one of our own Sacred Business Network and Sacred Growth Club members, . Silvi is an incredible copywriter and creative strategist who explores presence, mindset, and energy in her work.

For those who don't know, Silvi created the illustrations for the Sacred Business Manifesto and was the inspiration for our entire brand style. She also writes , an illustrated newsletter helping readers get out of their head, zoom out, and relate to themselves and the world with more clarity, ease, and bliss.

I know you'll love her newsletter and connecting with her personally. We hope you can join us for both of these sessions this week – they're going to be amazing!

Want to upgrade your network with incredible heart-centered entrepreneurs building Sacred Businesses like KC and Silvi?

March Social Mixer - Join Us This Wednesday!

This Wednesday at Noon Eastern, we're hosting our monthly Sacred Business Network Social Mixer - a space where heart-centered entrepreneurs gather to connect, share their journeys, and find inspiration.

Last month's mixer was filled with powerful conversations about fear, taking action despite uncertainty, and the true cost of not pursuing your vision. As shared, "I trusted myself and it was scary and it was uncomfortable... But whenever I walk into fear, generally it leads to a breakthrough or something better."

What to expect:

• A centering practice led by to help you transition from your busy day into a space of presence

• Meaningful discussion prompts that spark genuine connection

• Small group conversations with fellow sacred business owners

• A chance to share your current journey and receive support from other members of the community.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: During this month's mixer, we'll be unveiling something huge that has the potential to transform how our members create visibility for their writing and offerings in 2025 and beyond. This is something we've been developing behind the scenes that we believe will be a game-changer for heart-centered entrepreneurs looking to share their message with the world.

🌟 Member Spotlight:

Meet Sarah-Frances McCormick, a former educator with a master's in teaching who's creating a transformational path for women ready to trust their inner wisdom. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Sarah-Frances brings a unique blend of storytelling ability, teaching expertise, and spiritual exploration to her work.

What makes Sarah-Frances's journey particularly powerful is her own transformation from constantly seeking external validation to trusting her inner voice. "I never thought to look inside myself to see if I knew the answer," she shared in a recent conversation. "Once I finally learned how to trust myself, I feel unstoppable."

Her approach balances deep reflection with practical action steps, creating a container for women who've awakened to questions like "How did I get here?" and "What's my purpose?" to find their way forward with confidence.

Sarah-Frances embodies the Sacred Business ethos perfectly: bringing her unique gifts forward in service to others while honoring the integration of spiritual growth and practical business development.
