If you’re a regular listener of the podcast you may have heard bits and pieces of how I started in business and got to where I am today, but in Part 1 of this two-part series we really go deep about the low points, struggles, setbacks and breakthroughs that I’ve experienced along the way.

• My earliest entrepreneurial ventures and the money story I was told growing up
  
• The powerful lesson that taught me about profit and how I really learned how to bargain

Today’s guest is intuitive healer and psychic business coach Emily Aarons, and she’s going to go deeper in explaining just why intuition is so critical, and how you can really develop and flex this muscle.

Formally trained in Polarity Therapy, Emily has been clearing energy for nearly two decades. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Communications and Business Management from Salem State University. Combining her abilities as a healer with her love of business allows her to mentor and teach others how to run powerfully profitable businesses. Emily’s body of work includes guided meditations, a flourishing Facebook group called Life Made Simple, self-paced online intuition and business classes, in-person live events, 1:1 sessions, and an exclusive 12-month mentorship.
