This episode of Yes, And! is one of a kind. For the first time, Bunny brings on a DEFY member into the studio to talk about the growth she’s experienced since joining Bunny’s signature program.

What you’ll hear in this episode is more than just a before-and-after story.

Sarah Sturm started her growth journey with Money Magic May (a challenge we’ll be hosting this May again), and she shares how it helped shift her mindset and business to a place where ideal clients were coming into her world with ease.

You’ll hear what shifted for Sarah in her relationship with sales, and how everything started to fall into place when she stopped trying to sell and started serving.

There’s also a deeper layer in this conversation. About support. About being seen. About what happens when you stop doing everything alone and let yourself be in the room, even when it feels uncomfortable.

So this episode is for you if you’ve been in that space where you know you’re capable of more, but something keeps holding you back. This conversation will feel familiar. And maybe, like Sarah, it will show you that the shift isn’t as far away as it seems.

Most entrepreneurs start businesses with one goal: freedom.

But somewhere along the way, those companies end up completely depending on them. And the result is a business that can't scale without the founder, and therefore, a business that can't be sold.

In this episode of the Yes, And! Podcast, Bunny talks with investment banker and The Silicon Valley Podcast host Shawn Flynn to talk about what it actually takes to build a company that can be sold.

Drawing from years in mergers and acquisitions, venture ecosystems, and startup incubation, Shawn shares why founders should start thinking about their exit from day one.

Together, in this episode, they cover:

• Why every founder should build their business with a potential exit in mind

• What makes a company attractive to buyers

• The difference between businesses that scale and businesses that trap their owners

• How intellectual property, systems, and revenue streams impact valuation

• The biggest mistake coaches and consultants make when trying to sell their companies

Bunny also shares stories from her own entrepreneurial journey, including selling business assets, structuring deals, and why she learned the hard way that becoming an employee after selling a company isn’t always the dream exit founders imagine.

If you’re an entrepreneur, founder, or consultant who wants to build something valuable and eventually walk away from it, this conversation will change the way you think about your business.

Burnout might not be what you think it is.

In this episode of the Yes, And Podcast, Bunny invites Executive Coach and Author Shannon Weber, for what feels like a behind-the-scenes conversation about imposter syndrome, leadership, and community.

What starts as a conversation about burnout quickly shifts into something deeper. Shannon introduces a powerful reframe: what if burnout isn’t an individual failure, but a systemic issue? What if we’ve been putting the responsibility on ourselves when the structure itself needs to change?

From there, they explore:

• Why “burnout” might actually be moral injury

• How self-care has been commercialized and what real resilience investments look like

• The connection between presence and imposter syndrome

• Why exhaustion and busyness are not the same thing

• How small systemic tweaks can create real organizational change

• The power of modeling self-love for the next generation

This episode moves between leadership, mental health, motherhood, identity, and generational healing. There’s honesty. There’s laughter. There’s a pink vibrator story. And there’s a reminder that loving yourself is foundational.

Shannon also shares the heart behind her global Love Note Project, inspired by the loss of her brother, and how small, tangible expressions of love can shift culture one note at a time.
