EP 218: Your Business Feels Excruciating because You Were Built in the Underworld

Your business feels excruciating because you were built in the underworld.But your business was never built to hold you there.If you're a healer, creative, curse breaker, storyteller, or impact-driven woman who is undeniable at what you do and absolutely exhausted by the business side of it this episode is for you.You didn't fail at business. Business was never built for you.In this episode I'm talking about why the traditional bro-coded business model was never designed for women like us. Women who are sensitive, empathic, intuitive. Women who go into the underworld not because something is wrong with them but because that's where their best work gets excavated.I'm also sharing what I burned down in 2024, why I did it, and what I built from the ashes that finally matches how I actually work, live, and move through the world.In this episode:Why feast and famine cycles aren't a discipline problem — they're a model problemWhat it means to build a business that works WHILE you're in the underworldWhy I fired my entire team, killed every offer, and rebuilt from scratchThe business model built specifically for the woman who moves by feeling not by spreadsheetWhat UNLEASHED is and why it's $11UNLEASHED — 3 Day Live Business Retreat March 23, 24 & 25 $11 breadwinnerenergy.co/unleashed Day 1: Revenue Systems stop the feast and famine Day 2: Visibility Systems stop gambling on social media Day 3: Momentum Systems stop being in the weeds with every clientThree days.

You are undeniably gifted at what you do.Your clients get life-changing results. When women work with you something shifts that they have never experienced anywhere else.But here is the part nobody talks about: being gifted does not automatically make you visible, well-paid, or sustainably in business.And most soul-led women, healers, intuitives, and spiritual business owners are not struggling because their work is not good enough. They are struggling because they are missing the business infrastructure to hold their gifts.In this episode Tay breaks down the licensing model she built specifically for the woman who wants to be paid really well, work with incredible women, and be part of something bigger than herself without having to build a household name brand, deal with trademarks, or figure out the business side alone.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE• Why soul-led women, healers, and intuitives are the most gifted and often the least resourced women in business• The difference between wanting to build an empire and wanting to be paid really well for what you do (and why both are valid)• Why feast and famine cycles have nothing to do with your mindset and everything to do with your revenue structure• What it actually means to borrow a brand instead of building one from scratch• The three systems inside BWE Licensing: Revenue, Visibility, and Collaboration• How the public directory generates inbound leads without you doing anything in that moment• What JV partnership matchmaking looks like when it is based on actual business synergy not just vibes• Why the women who make money faster are not more talented but more backed• What Founding Mother status means and why the first round is the only round• How to know if you are ready for Licensing or need Academy firstLINKS MENTIONEDApply for BWE® Licensing: https://breadwinnerenergy.co/licenseInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/itstaydaniels_llc/BWE Academy® (not ready for Licensing yet?): breadwinnerenergy.co/academySEO KEYWORDS • how to get paid for your gifts• spiritual business owner tips• soul led women in business• business licensing for coaches• how to make money as a healer• women in business podcast• feast and famine cycle solution• business infrastructure for coaches• breadwinner energy podcast• licensing intellectual property• how to build without personal branding• collective revenue for women• JV partnerships for coaches• visibility for spiritual entrepreneurs• mission driven women in business• generational wealth for women

Breadwinner Energy® Is No Longer Just Coaching We Are Building an InstitutionIn this episode, I’m sharing something massive.Breadwinner Energy® is evolving from a coaching brand into a Licensing + Leadership Institution for women who are ready to build real wealth, real power, and real legacy together.For years, women have been told to build alone.Alone in business.Alone in leadership.Alone in wealth building.I’m done with that model.This next era of Breadwinner Energy® is about infrastructure, intellectual property, licensing, leadership, and putting powerful women inside something bigger than just another program.After over a decade across the service industry and coaching industry, I saw the same pattern:Brilliant women.Powerful ideas.But still building alone.Still capped by time, energy, visibility, and reach.Licensing changes that.Instead of building next to each other we build under the same institution, using shared infrastructure, shared brand authority, and shared visibility.Women will now be able to:• License the Breadwinner Energy® brand, IP, and frameworks• Be trained in thought leadership and brand representation• Be listed inside a public directory of certified leaders• Be featured across podcast, media, and institution opportunities• Be part of a high-level Alumni Leadership MastermindThis is not a course.This is not just a certification.This is institutional placement.The certification process is 4 months and teaches:• Thought Leadership• Brand Standards + Representation• Licensing Integrity + Use• Movement-Level Leadership• Wealth + Sovereignty Business InfrastructureFirst Certification Class Begins:April 6, 2026The first 15 women entering this institution will be our Founding Mothers.They will receive:• Priority placement in the public directory• Early access to leadership and collaboration opportunities• Founding level positioning inside the institution• Special recognition as first movers in this modelThere are only 15 spots.Annual Licensing Fee: $3,333 per yearThis includes:Directory ListingAlumni Leadership MastermindInstitution Access + OpportunitiesBrand + Licensing RightsPrivate + Founding Enrollment is currently open.Initial Enrollment Window:Open through February 28After Founding spots fill, pricing and placement will change.This is about women becoming breadwinners of their own lives.Breaking generational cycles.Building wealth in community.Creating power structures that include us — not exclude us.This is not just business scaling.This is movement building.If you are a woman who knows your work is bigger than your current container…If you are ready to stop building alone…If you are ready to step into leadership at an institutional level…This is your invitation.Follow & DM me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/itstaydaniels_llc/Join the Waitlist: https://itstaydaniels.myflodesk.com/headquarters Join the Free Fire Pit: https://www.skool.com/breadwinner-energy-club-7485 Breadwinner EnergyWomen in leadershipWomen licensing programCoaching industry evolutionWomen building generational wealthLicensing intellectual property coachingThought leadership certification for womenWomen business institutionFemale leadership certificationWomen business licensing modelHigh level mastermind for women entrepreneursBuild wealth in community womenWomen business directory listingFemale founder leadership programInstitution model for women entrepreneursWhy I Moved Away From One-on-One CoachingThe Breadwinner Energy® Licensing + Certification ModelCertification Program DetailsFounding Mothers — First 15 WomenLicensing Investment + StructureEnrollment WindowWhy This Matters (Bigger Than Business)If You Feel Called Into This LevelKEYWORDS (SEO)

In 2021, a psychic client in BWE Academy® told Tay Daniels something that would change her entire life: "When you stop hiding and let your freak flag fly, your business will explode."At the time, Tay had no idea what she meant.She thought it was about being more "authentic" or sharing more personal content. She didn't realize the psychic was talking about a complete death and rebirth an annihilation of the version of herself trying to fit the mold, be palatable, and follow the rules of "good business coaching."In this raw and vulnerable episode, Tay shares:→ The 2021 psychic story and what she finally understands now→ The brutal death and rebirth cycle she walked through (from $200K to $4,500/month and back)→ How her grandmother's terminal illness and passing triggered a massive spiritual awakening→ Why she's finally done hiding her psychic abilities and Native American spiritual roots→ The shame she carried growing up for believing in soul contracts and reincarnation→ What her grandmother's dying process taught her about death, rebirth, and living in alignment→ Why your favorite coach won't be here this time next year→ The mass exodus from entrepreneurship happening as a 9-year cycle ends in 2025→ Why 2026 marks the rise of thought leadership, embodied leadership, and healers→ How to let YOUR freak flag fly and step into your true callingThis episode is for lineage breakers, curse breakers, truth tellers, and medicine keepers who've been hiding their weird, dimming their magic, and playing small to be liked.Your freak flag is your power.
