Confessions of a Spiritual Entrepreneur: Intuition, Business Growth & the Inner Work of Building Something Visible

Your intuition is talking to you all the time, through feelings, flashes of insight, dreams, even songs on the radio. It's time to start noticing.In this solo episode, I'm breaking down what intuition is, why so many of us learn to shut it down, and the different ways it shows up. I cover all the clairs and more: clairvoyance, claircognizance, clairaudience, clairsentience (body sensations), smell, taste, dreams, and external signs. I also share the moment in 2017 that became my turning point for trusting my own inner voice, and how that one decision changed the entire trajectory of my life.In this episode I talk about:The subtle signs your intuition has been sending you (and why you might have missed them)How to reflect on past moments to identify your own intuitive languageHow to tell the difference between intuition and just anxious thinkingWhy the most successful work, content, decisions, and ideas often come from intuition rather than AIA personal update on heading into maternity leave and what's next for the showCatch bonus clips and episodes on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@confessions-samantha-facklerGet even more behind-the-scenes insights to my life and business at samanthafackler.com/newsletterIf this episode resonated with you, hit follow or leave a review.

I recently attended a women's wealth summit in Arizona and left with a completely different perspective on why so many spiritual entrepreneurs stay stuck in scarcity even when they're doing everything right.This episode is that conversation. And I'm bringing something most people in this space don't have, a background in financial technology, payments, and blockchain. Money is energy isn't just spiritual. It's literally how capital moves.In this episode:What a room full of VCs and investors taught me about the energy of receivingWhy money blocks aren't a mindset problem, they're a fear problemThe one question that allows you to receive moreWhy abundance affirmations alone don't work and what actually creates monetary flowHow to know if you can genuinely hold the capacity for what you say you wantMy confession: the fear of judgment around how I make money and what releasing it changedThis is not financial advice. This is the money conversation most people aren't having (yet).Get my 1-minute weekly newsletter: https://www.samanthafackler.com/Confessions of a Spiritual Entrepreneur is for women building profitable businesses and creative projects through strategy, intuition, and nervous system alignment...without abandoning themselves in the process.

Awakening is the easy part—learning how to live it inside your business, your relationships, and your everyday decisions is where the real work spiritual work as an entrepreneur begins.This conversation explores the tension so many entrepreneurs feel between ambition and alignment. On one hand, there’s the drive to build, grow, and succeed. On the other, there’s a quieter pull toward presence, intention, and something deeper beneath the surface.In this episode, I sit down with Cari Jacobs-Crovetto to unpack what it takes to integrate a spiritual life with a business life. We talk about the reality of inner work alongside business growth, the moments that force you to slow down, and what begins to shift when you stop operating from your head.If you’ve ever felt the push and pull between doing more and being more—this conversation will land.What you’ll take away:A new perspective on balancing ambition with inner alignmentWhy slowing down can create more clarity and momentumHow to begin moving out of autopilot and into intentional livingA grounded look at integrating spirituality into everyday business decisionsConnect with Cari:Website: www.bravedirections.comCari's Podcast: https://www.bravedirections.com/podcast👉 Get Samantha's weekly newsletter to learn more BTS info on what she's learning, experimenting with, and growing from: https://samanthafackler.myflodesk.comConnect with Samantha:DM her on Instagram at @samantha.fackler to share your takeawaysVisit samanthafackler.com for more info about coaching and resourcesSubscribe on YouTube: @confessions-samantha-facklerMentioned in this episode:Learn more about Focus Pocus: http://samanthafackler.com/focus

I felt more free than ever.This is my honest confessional from second trimester as a pregnant entrepreneur: what I let go of, the emotional side of it, and what happened to my business when I stopped forcing a plan and started listening to my body instead.And if you're not pregnant — this one's still for you.

What it looks like to release the things you built when they stop fitting, even when you can't fully explain why yet.In this episode:→ Why the "most energetic trimester" still required a full nervous system recalibration — and how I learned to tell the difference between aligned action and forced momentum→ The two communities I closed, the marketing assistant I let go of, and the live launch I restructured mid-pregnancy — and why every single decision made my business lighter→ The grief that came with letting go, even when you know it's right→ Body comments, belly size insecurity, and what it actually taught me about other people's opinions (of your body and your business)→ How to know when you're resting because you need it versus avoiding something you need to do→ Rapid-fire second trimester tips for pregnant entrepreneurs: baby showers, maternity clothes that don't suck, nesting, skincare, and slowing down your morningsThe real insight from this trimester: when you stop forcing the strategy, something more aligned takes its place.Get My 1-Minute Weekly Newsletter: https://samanthafackler.myflodesk.comConfessions of a Spiritual Entrepreneur is for ambitious women building profitable businesses through strategy, intuition, and nervous system alignment — without abandoning themselves in the process.👉 Get Samantha's weekly newsletter to learn more BTS info on what she's learning, experimenting with, and growing from: https://samanthafackler.myflodesk.comConnect with Samantha:DM her on Instagram at @samantha.fackler to share your takeawaysVisit samanthafackler.com for more info about coaching and resourcesSubscribe on YouTube: @confessions-samantha-facklerMentioned in this episode:Learn more about Focus Pocus: http://samanthafackler.com/focus

What if the children meant for you are already around—watching, waiting, and connected to your energy before you ever hold them? And what if the babies you've lost aren't gone at all?I sit down with Mo, a psychic medium with the rare gift of drawing people's loved ones in spirit without ever seeing their photos. This episode is definitely an emotional one because we are exploring one of the most tender and profound topics in the spiritual world: spirit babies.Mo shares how mediumship works, what spirit babies are (and the many forms they take), and why souls who've passed through miscarriage, abortion, or infant loss remain deeply connected to you.And in a beautiful, unplanned moment, Mo shares intuitive messages for Samantha about her own spirit babies—including visions of children yet to come.Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating loss, or simply curious about the unseen world around you, this conversation will shift how you think about intuition, spirit, and the souls we're meant to love.You don't need to become a psychic medium to access your intuition—but after this episode, you'll understand how to start listening.What You'll Learn:What spirit babies are and the different forms they can take—from children not yet born to those who have passedThe spiritual perspective on miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, and infant lossWhy our loved ones in spirit meet our babies before they're even bornHow pregnancy can unlock and strengthen your intuitive abilitiesThe different types of psychic senses and how they show upPractical ways to connect with your own intuitionHow to set boundaries with your intuitive gifts and spiritual workLearn more about Focus Pocus: https://samanthafackler.myflodesk.com/focus-pocusConnect with Mo:Website: https://www.momediumship.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/momediumshipTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@momediumshipYoutube: https://youtube.com/@momediumship👉 Get Samantha's weekly newsletter to learn more BTS info on what she's learning, experimenting with, and growing from: https://samanthafackler.myflodesk.comConnect with Samantha:DM her on Instagram at @samantha.fackler to share your takeawaysVisit samanthafackler.com for more info about coaching and resourcesSubscribe on YouTube: @confessions-samantha-facklerMentioned in this episode:Learn more about Focus Pocus: http://samanthafackler.com/focus

You've heard it a thousand times: set better boundaries. But what about the boundaries you can't see? The ones inside your own head, around the stories you tell yourself, or around your ability to actually receive the support you're desperately craving?As I am nearing maternity leave, I want to pull back the curtain on three boundary breakdowns that showed up in my life recently—and what they revealed about how we actually protect our energy, creativity, and capacity to lead.In this episode:The invisible boundary: recognizing when old fears are quietly running the show (and a practice for soothing them without pushing them away)Why receiving support feels harder than giving it—and what that resistance is really protectingThe ask that sounds casual but isn't—and how to honor your expertise without guilt or apology👉 Get Samantha's weekly newsletter to learn more BTS info on what she's learning, experimenting with, and growing from: https://samanthafackler.myflodesk.comConnect with Samantha:DM her on Instagram at @samantha.fackler to share your takeawaysVisit samanthafackler.com for more info about coaching and resourcesSubscribe on YouTube: @confessions-samantha-facklerMentioned in this episode:Learn more about Focus Pocus: http://samanthafackler.com/focus
