Tuesday Talks with Darleen

Your business will teach you more about you than any course ever will and it usually does it through the moments you want to label as “problems.” A plan falls apart, a task takes longer than it should, a client pushes a boundary, or something as simple as a recording not saving suddenly exposes the real issue. You are rushing, ungrounded, and running on adrenaline instead of clarity.

I talk about using entrepreneurship as personal development without turning everything into drama or self-blame. When the same stress keeps showing up, I see...

Fear has a way of showing up at the exact moment you already feel unsure, then it adds one more layer. Urgency. Decide now. Fix it now. Don’t miss out. I’m calling that out for what it is. A pressure that pushes you into reaction and away from your own awareness.

I walk through a practical way to respond to fear while it’s happening, without shutting down and without overriding yourself. I start by questioning urgency, then creating a small pause that interrupts the automatic loop. You don’t need a...

Everyone has an opinion when you start a business and somehow they get louder the moment you begin to succeed. I'm talking about the endless “shoulds” that come from family, friends, and people who mean well but aren’t building what you’re building and how that noise can drag you into second guessing, overexplaining, and changing your work just to keep the peace. 

I share simple, real world boundary setting for small business owners. Why the people closest to you are often not your ideal client, how to stop taking business...

If your business feels heavy, it’s not a sign you should “try harder”. It’s often a sign you’ve been shape shifting to fit expectations that were never designed for you in the first place. I’m talking about the slow, sneaky patterns that pull us out of our own rhythm. Saying yes when we don’t want to, stacking commitments we can’t hold, and forcing ourselves into routines that look productive but feel awful.

I share why your business should fit your life, not replace it, and why blindly foll...

Your crown chakra is not just a “spiritual” idea. It’s a real lens for how you receive guidance, meaning, and perspective. We dig into what it looks like when your inner child meets the Crown Chakra. Learning from past generations, feeling connected to the collective, and still staying rooted in your own energy so you don’t get drained by the wrong dynamics.

I get honest about boundaries and the moments when you finally admit a connection is costing you too much. From there, the conversation moves into ripple effects and purp...

Your spiritual world starts expanding and suddenly you feel it. That quiet pull between who you were taught to be and who you’re becoming. I’m sharing something personal today, because I know how complicated it can feel to explore metaphysical spirituality, intuition, and psychic gifts while your family and your history are rooted in religion. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the new practices, it’s the guilt, the loyalty, and the fear of being misunderstood by the people you love. 

I get into why shame often has more to do wit...

Your phone buzzes, an email lands, a client updates a project, and suddenly your chest tightens like something is on fire. I know that feeling, and I’m here to say it plainly, your business is not an emergency room. After more than 30 years in healthcare on the frontline, I’ve seen what real emergencies look like, and I’ve also seen how easy it is to bring that same adrenaline-fuelled urgency into entrepreneurship where it doesn’t belong. 

I talk about the hidden cost of running a small business in constant...

If you’ve ever finished a client session and felt like you’re carrying someone else’s anxiety in your chest, their stress in your shoulders, or their problems in your head, we made this conversation for you. I’m talking about the skill that separates sustainable coaches from burned-out helpers. Holding space with strong emotional boundaries, so you can stay kind, present, and clear without absorbing a client’s baggage.

I get practical and a little blunt. I break down how I tune in with permission, feel what a client feels, and...

Some of the loudest “noises” in life sound like your own thoughts. But what if a big chunk of them were inherited, taught, or absorbed when you were young, and your inner child is still carrying them around?

I’m talking about the inner child through the lens of the Third Eye Chakra, where mental clarity, intuition, and creativity meet. We start with the practical side. Brain fog, focus, and the moments when your mind doesn’t feel as sharp as you want it to be. Instead of shame, I offer a gentle...

Your to-do list can look harmless on paper and still feel like a brick on your chest. We’ve all had those days where the list isn’t just “a lot” it feels heavy, blurry, and somehow personal. I want to pull that apart and show you what’s really going on so you can stop blaming yourself and start planning in a way that feels lighter.

I'll talk about the key distinction that changes everything. Mental tasks versus energetic tasks. Mental tasks are your logical admin like scheduling, filing, paying bills, and...

You can be completely clear on what to do next and still not do it. That’s not a character flaw, and it’s not a sign you need more information. It’s the gap between knowing and acting and it’s where momentum gets built or quietly lost in business and in life.

I dig into why clarity isn’t the thing that creates movement. Clarity gives direction, but decision is what moves you forward. When you’re hesitating, it often isn’t loud fear. It’s subtle delay that’s easy to justify...

Your Throat Chakra isn’t just about speaking clearly. It’s about whether you feel safe enough to be honest, whether you trust yourself, and whether your inner child believes it’s allowed to take up space. When that foundation is missing, communication can sound stiff or guarded, even when your intentions are good. 

I walk through how the Throat Chakra is supported by the lower chakras like grounding, stability, and security, and why self-compassion from the heart changes the way your words land. I also invite you to reflect on childho...

The client looks “good enough”, the money helps, and nothing is obviously wrong yet your body hesitates. That quiet hesitation is the start of what I call an almost aligned client, and it can cost far more than a few extra hours. I talk through the real texture of the half-yes. The tight chest, the pause before replying, the internal negotiation that says “I’m being too picky” while your nervous system says “no”. If you’ve ever felt slightly on edge with a client you technically should be happy about, you’ll recognise this imm...

Your intuition can be a superpower in business, but it can also become a shortcut into pressure if you’re not careful. I get real about the moment “helping” starts turning into steering and how to catch it before it damages trust. If you’ve ever felt that surge of urgency to convince someone, persuade them, or “wake them up,” this conversation brings you back to grounded, ethical selling that still feels confident and clear.

I unpack the difference between intuition and projection in sales conversations. Intuition notices patterns and offers insight with...

Your business doesn’t run on January, September, or “Q4 energy” the way the internet says it should. Mine doesn’t either. I'm talking about business seasons beyond the calendar, and why following someone else’s timeline can quietly turn your work into a grind. If you’ve ever wondered why you can be wildly motivated one month and deeply reflective the next, this is a reminder that you’re not broken, you’re cyclical.

I explore the idea of internal seasons like expansion, visibility, creation, and retreat. You’ll hear how personal “summ...

Spiritual language can feel like a warm blanket in business, until it becomes a hiding place. I talk about spiritual bypassing in business. The subtle habit of using words like alignment, divine timing, trust the universe, and energetics to avoid the exact things that grow a company such as clear decisions, honest money conversations, structure, and uncomfortable emotions.

I share real examples of what bypassing can sound like, including calling fear “not aligned,” postponing action under the banner of “waiting,” or refusing strategy and financial tracking because it feels too corporate. Then I g...

Your banking app shouldn’t feel like a threat, but for so many of us the simple act of checking a bank balance comes with a tight chest, a quick inhale, or a wave of shame. I get it, because I’ve lived it. So I’m taking you into a different way of seeing money, where the number on the screen stops acting like a verdict on your worth and starts acting like feedback you can actually use.

I talk money mindset in a grounded way, starting with the nervous system...

Bored with your business and quietly wondering if that means you’re off track? I want to challenge that assumption. Sometimes the dullness you feel is not a red flag, it’s a sign you’ve built real competence. When the early “everything is new” adrenaline wears off, your nervous system settles, and steadiness moves in. If you’re used to intensity, that calm can feel like you’re stuck even when you’re actually growing.

I dig into why boredom can signal mastery, and how entrepreneurs end up chasing adrenaline through loud, im...

Perfection is a moving target and chasing it is stealing your momentum. I take on the unspoken rule that you must be “fully healed” before you’re allowed to lead, charge more, or expand your impact. Instead, we make the case for a different path. Success in the now, built on clear offers, consistent action, and clean communication.

Across this candid conversation, I unpack how self-awareness can quietly morph into self-surveillance and hesitation. You’ll hear why confidence comes from being seen, not before it. How unpolished videos, simple launches, messy first dr...

Your screen isn’t neutral. It’s an environment shaping your energy, authority, and results. Today I pull back the curtain on digital clutter and decision fatigue, and I get practical about building a calmer, more focused workflow that actually supports your goals. From the myth of “thriving in chaos” to the real cost of 110 billion open tabs, this conversation turns vague stress into clear choices you can make right now.

I start with the nervous system toll of visual noise like overflowing inboxes, a messy desktop, and constant notifications that fracture...

Your heart races, your stomach tightens, your thoughts get loud. So is that the thrill of growth or a red flag asking you to pause? I dig into the real difference between good fear and bad fear and walk through practical ways to read your body before your mind writes a story. Instead of treating fear as the enemy, I treat it as information. An early signal from the reptilian brain that kept our ancestors safe and still helps us navigate modern choices in business and life.

I explore how good...

What if your business is being run by a script you never chose? I dig into the hidden ways family beliefs about work like hard labor, survival, and sacrifice, how you shape your schedule, your pricing, and even your ability to rest. If ease feels unsafe or slow days feel wrong, this conversation helps you find the roots and plant something healthier in their place.

I start with the early lessons absorbed at home and school. The mantras that say nothing worth having comes easy and the quiet modeling that linked...

That quiet can feel deafening, but a no doesn’t get to narrate your future. I take you inside a compassionate, practical process to handle a failed launch or a declined offer without letting it harden into a limiting story. First, I frame the “energetic ouch” with a 24-hour rule which is a clear window to feel disappointment, anger, or frustration so the charge moves through your body instead of getting stuck. Then I get tactile.  Hands on your chest, arms, or belly to map where the sensation lives, because turning anxiety into a felt...

Ever felt a quiet pull in your body while your brain builds a flawless case against it? I open up the messy, very human space where intuition and logic collide and how to navigate that tension without freezing or overthinking your way out of clarity.

I start by mapping the difference. Logic offers facts you can defend, timelines you can explain, and plans that win approval. Intuition arrives differently. Sometimes it’s a whisper; sometimes it’s a full‑body yes that you can’t source or prove. Through a simple bus‑brea...

What if your business isn’t a machine to manage but a living energy to collaborate with? I open the door to a listening-first approach that replaces noise with nuance, pressure with presence, and generic frameworks with guidance that actually fits. By treating your company as something with its own rhythm and purpose, I show how to shift from controlling every variable to partnering with a wiser signal that can point you toward clearer offers, calmer launches, and marketing that feels honest.

I unpack the difference between your life purpose and yo...

Tired of feeling “behind” because your path doesn’t match the internet’s timeline? I dig into a calmer, saner way to grow: defining success on your terms, at your pace, with your values in the lead. From ditching 4 a.m. routines that don’t fit your life to questioning glossy profit posts, this conversation is a reset for anyone overwhelmed by comparison and one-size-fits-all playbooks.

I talk through why different responsibilities demand different strategies, how to build sturdy foundations before you scale, and what it looks like to measure progress by actions...

Looking for the right crystal but overwhelmed by endless lists and rules? I walk through a grounded, no-gatekeeping guide to choosing stones that match your season of growth, whether you’re opening your intuition, holding space for others, or navigating high-frequency work. Instead of treating crystals like shortcuts, I show how to use them as clear mirrors and steady reminders so you can do the real work like trusting yourself, setting boundaries, and staying present.

We start with beginner-friendly allies that offer safety and clarity. Amethyst helps calm intuitive overwhelm, clear qu...

Ever wonder if guidance could be real, useful, and safe all at once? We open the door to spirit guides, star family, angels, and councils and keep it grounded with clear consent, strong boundaries, and a steady focus on living a full human life. I share candid stories, from recognizing the Pleiades as “home” to the moment my soul clicked back into my body, and show how those experiences translate into practical choices you can use today.

We map the terrain of guidance in plain language. Spirit guides and ancestors help prot...

Sometimes, healing can feel so good that we start chasing it. The happy hormones, the breakthroughs, the retreats, the sense of doing something, and it all feels amazing. But what happens when healing becomes addictive? When we keep doing more and more, yet nothing in our life actually changes?

In this episode, I talk about how easy it is to get stuck in the loop of healing, especially when it becomes an identity or something we use to avoid life. I share my own experience with it such as how I...

Authenticity isn’t a trend. It’s a lived experience. And in this powerful conversation with my special guest Sarah Yeoman, we explore what it genuinely looks like to build a business from your truth, your values, and your inner compass rather than from industry templates or pressure-filled strategies.

Sarah brings over 20 years of experience in health, wellbeing, pain management, energy healing, and holistic counselling and she speaks honestly about dismantling inauthentic business tactics, navigating triggers, redefining success, and choosing a business path that honours who you are.

This milestone conversation marks the 200th episode and turns inward to explore the inner child as it relates to the Solar Plexus Chakra.

This conversation explores the inner child as it relates to the Solar Plexus Chakra, focusing on self-esteem, identity, personal power, and self-belief, particularly in business and adult life.

The Solar Plexus Chakra is where confidence, courage, choice, and authority live. Inner child patterns can surface here, not to make decisions, but to show where beliefs around self-worth, power...

At the start of the year, business can feel scattered. Strategy, visibility, and pressure to move fast can pull your energy in too many directions at once, especially after time away.

This conversation explores a different way of working. One that begins with grounding rather than rushing. It focuses on aligning business from the Earth Connection Chakra through to the higher energetic centres, and why grounding is the foundation that allows guidance, intuition, and strategy to work together rather than against each other.

When business isn’t gr...

In this episode, I explore what it really means to restart your business after a break and how to gently get your business mojo back without pressure, urgency, or burnout.

Rather than jumping straight back in at full speed, I talk about the importance of starting slow, easing into your rhythm, and respecting both your own energy and the energy of your business. A steady, intentional restart often creates far more sustainable momentum than forcing yourself to sprint from day one.

I share practical ways to re-enter your business...
