In this heartfelt episode, Liz Yates Horton shares the unexpected journey of building Engage Therapy & Wellness from “just a few clients” to a rapidly growing, purpose-driven business born out of real community need.

What began without a plan quickly became an all-consuming mission, until a series of quiet warnings—and ultimately a health crisis—forced Liz to pause and reimagine everything.

Liz opens up about burnout, motherhood, capacity, and the powerful shift from constant hustle to intentional living. this conversation is a reminder that success means nothing if you’re not at the center of it—and that sometimes the bravest, most aligned thing you can do is pivot.

There’s something powerful that happens when we allow ourselves to pause, be still, and truly listen. In this episode, we sit down with Tiesha McNeal of Harmonic Path to explore the power of sound, frequencies, brainwaves, and the science behind sound healing.

While many of us have heard of sound baths and singing bowls, Tiesha helps us better understand how sound can impact our emotions, nervous systems, and overall well-being. Because sound healing is about more than just “good vibes” and feelings — there’s real intention and science behind it, too.

Tiesha shares her personal journey into sound healing, her passion for helping others heal, and how being attuned to energy plays a role in creating intentional healing experiences. We also talk about the emotional release many people experience during sound work, the importance of allowing ourselves to actually feel our feelings, and why taking a pause can be one of the most powerful things we do for our healing

As always, we explore what it looks like to prioritize wellness while operating a business, supporting our communities, and showing up for others. We also discuss the beauty of women in wellness supporting one another — because healing isn’t a competition. Plus, listeners will be guided through a short sound journey during the episode, offering an opportunity to pause, reset, and experience the impact of sound for themselves.

In this episode, Allison chats with Caitlyn Cayea, the owner of Enso Design Studio, an intuitive hair and styling experience rooted in authenticity, presence, and care. Caitlyn inherited a long-standing salon from her family, and as a new mother and business owner, she faced challenges most of us can’t even imagine—navigating toxic staff, a major renovation, a global pandemic, and the pressures of stepping into a legacy all at once.

But Caitlyn didn’t just survive—she transformed her space, her approach, and herself. From creating a salon that feels like a sanctuary, to building an inclusive environment for clients of all backgrounds, Caitlyn has learned to trust her intuition, honor boundaries, and listen deeply to her body and energy. She’s not only a stylist but an empath, healer, and guide, helping her clients reconnect with themselves as much as their hair.

In this conversation, we’ll hear about Caitlyn’s journey of resilience, the lessons she’s learned from letting go of what no longer serves, and how she’s creating a business—and a life—that feels alive, balanced, and deeply real.

So, get ready to pause, breathe, and step into a story of courage, care, and mindful transformation.

Jen Dixon founded Clean Slate Cleaning Service in 2019 after her corporate marketing position was "eliminated" while she was on maternity leave. What initially felt like an ending became a powerful beginning. Jen took a cleaning job after rebelling from her career. She found comfort in cleaning and was able to be mindful of her thoughts rather than be distracted by them. As Jen discovered firsthand how a clean, organized space brought her mental clarity and emotional relief, she realized she wasn’t alone in needing that support. Now, Jen is scaling her business and stepping fully into her next chapter of growth.

In this conversation, we’ll explore themes like starting over with a clean slate, navigating life as a single working mom, and using lived compassion as a way to be in service to others. Jen believes many of us are quietly drowning—and that there is absolutely no shame in asking for help.

She credits much of her success to referrals, community, and activating her existing network, showing how reputation, relationships, and integrity can fuel sustainable growth. Through her skills, resilience, and deep compassion, Jen has become the WO-man in her life and in her business—and she’s helping others breathe easier along the way.
