How do you make a brand your own? I'm joined by Alexis Stetler, the owner & creative director of Whxte Atelier, a modern fine jewelry brand rooted in meaning, craftsmanship, and quiet luxury. Today, we talk about Alexis's internal and external journey of buying Whxte, what her process looked like behind making such a huge decision, and how her creative vision is now expanding the brand post-acquisition. We explore what it looks like to build a business with intention as a single mom, and how to bring your vision to life by tapping into your intuition and creativity. Alexis also shares her favorite spiritual shifts to help you fully commit to the woman you want to become and overcome the limiting beliefs that keep you playing safe.

All great things require a level of risk. This past week, I've had a profound breakthrough: I realized I don't like to be seen trying. I don't like to be publicly seen boldly declaring what I want, going after it, and risking failure. If this resonates with you, I'm here to give you the tools to support yourself through that energy of resistance, overcome the fears keeping you small, and step into your higher self. I'll walk you through how to de-condition old patterns of achieving and share one question that will instantly open you up to more of what you want (whether it's love, connection, results, etc.) If you're ready to get over the fear of trying and create real, tangible outcomes, you're in the right place!
 
HIGHLIGHTS
00:00 Are you afraid of being seen trying?
03:00 Why a single post on social media sparked my most profound breakthrough yet.
06:45 The first step to de-condition old programming.
10:50 What is on the other side of getting over the fear of being seen trying?
13:55 This one question will unlock your higher self.
