    You know that feeling when you're sitting in your comfortable life, but deep down you know there's something more calling you?

    That restless energy that whispers "this isn't it" even when everything looks perfect on paper? That's exactly what happened to my guest Ioana Wilkinson. She had the house, the stable teaching job, the "should be happy" life - and yet something inside her was screaming for freedom, for travel, for a completely different way of living.

    ⁠Have you done the 90-Second Truth Quiz to Check in with Your Soul? ⁠


    In this episode, we talk about Ioana's beautiful journey from small-town Texas to Barcelona, Spain - how she left everything behind to chase her dreams, and how becoming a mom during COVID completely shifted her path into freelance writing and location independence, building a career in your suitcase.


    We chat about the identity crisis that can come with motherhood, the fear of losing your freedom, and how spirituality became the foundation for building a business and life that actually works.


    This conversation goes places most career podcasts won't -we're talking about prayer as business strategy, about hearing God's voice in major decisions, and about that moment when you realize you're never actually alone.

    Why "I will make a way for you" became Ioana's anchor through the scariest decisions

    How to use intuition and prayer as actual business strategy (seriously)

    The difference between fear marketing and desire marketing - and why it matters for your soul

    Why surrendering control actually gives you more power in business and life

    How to trust that inner voice when it's telling you to make a major life change - even when it seems crazy to everyoneelse

    How Ioana replaced her teaching income within months through freelance writing - starting with zero experience

    The power of win probability and why responding to existing opportunities beats cold pitching every time

    How to build a business that travels with you

    In this episode, we talk about Ioana's beautiful journey from small-town Texas to Barcelona, Spain - how she left everything behind to chase her dreams to build a career in a suitcase.

    If you're listening to this as a working mother, maybe feeling lost in a job that doesn't fulfill you, or maybe freelancing but feeling like you're constantly on a hamster wheel, I want you to know that there's another way.

    You can build systems that protect you. You can create products from your expertise. You can set up streams of income that don't require you to trade every hour for a dollar. It's not easy, and it's not instant, but it's absolutely possible.


    Key Takeaways:

    Scarcity kills sustainability: You cannot build a lasting intuitive business based on fear and short-term thinking

    Contracts are your safety net: Short-term projects are fine for short-term money, but long-term success requires protective agreements

    Systems trump scrambling: The All-In system emerged from crisis but became the foundation of consistent client acquisition

    Professional relationships require mutual respect: If you give notice, they should too

    Passive income is possible: Digital products can create freedom while you focus on family

    Teams amplify your impact: You don't have to do everything yourself – collaboration accelerates success

    Risk-taking is essential: The biggest breakthroughs come from the biggest leaps

    Mindset creates possibilities: Believing in endless possibilities isn't naive – it's necessary for growth
