Have you ever felt like slowing down might cost you everything? Like if you take a break, the momentum will disappear, the clients will stop coming, and the money will dry up? You’re not alone. I recently faced this fear myself—and what it revealed to me about my nervous system, hustle patterns, and relationship with money completely changed the way I see rest.   In this episode of The Couragecast, we’re diving into:

• Why pausing or taking a break feels so unsafe for many entrepreneurs
• What my summer slowdown revealed about my nervous system + money stories
• How to create natural rhythms in your life and business without losing momentum
• The key role nervous system regulation plays in sustainable success

I’ll share my personal story of stepping back from teaching and podcasting, and how that opened space for deeper alignment, flow, and divine inspiration. If you’ve ever worried that rest equals failure, this conversation will shift how you view breaks, hustle, and abundance.   Let’s connect:@andreacrispcoach + www.andreacrisp.ca ✨ Links mentioned in this episode:

You likely became an entrepreneur because you wanted to have more freedom in your life. But here you are in the midst of building a business, doing all the things and more frustrated than ever that you are not experiencing the success you desire.   When you get to the point of asking whether or not you should go back to a 9-5 job that is the moment you need to ask yourself whether or not this is truly what you want and if you feel compelled to do this work.   Your divine purpose is so much bigger than you. But you may have gotten caught up in thinking that you have to be an overnight success.   It is very normal to have doubts and insecurities and part of the entrepreneurial journey is moving through those old stories and creating new more empowered truths about who you are and what is possible for your life.   It's time to let go of the struggle and the hustle to embrace the power of surrender.   Connect With Andrea: @andreacrispcoach + @the.couragecast   Join Weekly Community Call: Courage + Conversations Wednesdays at 12 pm EST   Are you ready to unlock your purpose and potential to step into your future self, now?   Next Level Coaching is for the female entrepreneur who is sitting on the sidelines stuck in comparison mode.

For years I thought that self love was the last thing in the world I needed to work on. I felt confident and mostly self assured when it came to taking risks in my life and business. But that was far from the truth when it came to making mistakes or all out failure. That was the time that I punished myself for not doing more or being better. I lacked the capacity for self love and not only was it effecting me personally but it was also keeping my business from the growth that I desired. In this episode we talk about the ten surprising benefits of self love that have helped me fall in love with my business again.   Connect With Andrea: @andreacrispcoach + @the.couragecast   Join Weekly Community Call: Courage + Conversations Wednesdays at 12 pm EST   Are you ready to unlock your purpose and potential to step into your future self, now?   Next Level Coaching is for the female entrepreneur who is sitting on the sidelines stuck in comparison mode.

So often, we are looking for the approval of others or someone else's permission to succeed. But my encouragement for you today is what is possible when you give yourself permission to be successful.

You will only manifest into your reality what you expect to receive. So what are you truly expecting to manifest into your life and business?   Over the years I have set intentions for what I desired, I have chosen a word of the year -- I've pretty much done it all. And I have to say that I've had success doing that. But when I started to align my expectations with my desires absolutely everything changed for me.   Bob Proctor says this, "Develop a clear image of what you really want and get emotionally involved with that image. Then you can use your will power and persistence to get the results you truly want."   Today on 'The Couragecast', I'm going to share with you the magic of creating Intentions and setting your Expectations to receive what you truly desire.   Connect on IG: @andreacrispcoach + @the.couragecast   Join Weekly Community Call: Mindset Mentor Circle   Book a DISCOVERY CALL: www.andreacrisp.ca/schedule

Tis the season to purge and let go of everything and anything that is no longer adding value to your life. Here we are at the end of the year and as you are getting ready to ring in the coming new year this is your invitation to take a look at every area of your life and evaluate what needs to stay and what is no longer serving your highest good.   In this episode I am going to share with you my personal tips to releasing things in my own life. I pull back the curtain to reveal what I decided to release and why. And I will leave you with some actionable steps for you to take so that you can start 2023 feeling like you have the space and the capacity to welcome in what you actually want (and not what has been taking up space).   Connect on IG: @andreacrispcoach + @the.couragecast   Join Weekly Community Call: Mindset Mentor Circle   Book a DISCOVERY CALL: www.andreacrisp.ca/schedule

As we embark on another holiday season, I want to remind you that you are the sole creator of your experience. The holiday season can be both magical and also one of the hardest times of the year but it all depends on your perception and on how you decide to show up for yourself.   On the podcast I want to share with you how I have learned to keep my peace in the midst of unmet expectations, being single during the holidays and why I believe it is important to set an intention for what you want to manifest.   Connect on IG: @andreacrispcoach + @the.couragecast   Join Weekly Community Call: Mindset Mentor Circle   Book a DISCOVERY CALL: www.andreacrisp.ca/schedule

Every year I chose a word for the year. It's something I have done religiously for the past five or so years. It's a word that I deeply connect with and something that I want to build my entire year around in every area of my life. When it came to choosing a word for 2022 I knew that I had some work to do to help me truly move beyond where I was.   The word'expansion' kept coming up in my life and when I sat to really think about what I wanted -- it was the word EXPANSION that I knew was what I needed for me to take the next steps in my life. Today on the podcast I want to share how I have allowed myself to expand and what that really looks like for me.     Connect on IG: @andreacrispcoach + @the.couragecast   Join Weekly Community Call: Mindset Mentor Circle   Book a DISCOVERY CALL: www.andreacrisp.ca/schedule

Your desires and goals are important. So important (in fact) that once you have thought about them they are in the creation process. But that is where most people get stuck. We allow ourselves to dream but then place our attention back on what we lack when really we need to be focusing on what we desire. Today on the podcast I'm going to share with you how I have changed my perspective when it comes to manifestation and how I personally move towards my desires and goals.   Journal Prompts:  

1. Is this serving me (these thoughts)?
2. What are you trying to get away from?
3. Are you trying to justify your old circumstances?
4. Do you believe that you deserve or are worthy of your goals /desires?

The reason you are in confusion has nothing to do with the lack of clarity you have in your life and business. It is simply a bi-product of doing nothing and yet hoping that things magically fall into place.   Your blocks (limiting beliefs) may be telling you that you need more clarity but that is really your old narrative trying to keep you from moving forward.   The truth is you need to take action. Your confidence and clarity will increase exponentially when you take one step. And then another, and then another. The key is to act!   In this episode I am letting you in on what I have learned through action and inaction.   Connect on IG: @andreacrispcoach + @the.couragecast   Join Weekly Community Call: Mindset Mentor Circle   Book a DISCOVERY CALL: www.andreacrisp.ca/schedule

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things—vision boarding, affirmations, meditations—but abundance still isn’t flowing the way you desire?

The truth is, manifestation isn’t just about thinking positive—it’s about who you are being at the core. If you’ve been feeling stuck, doubting yourself, or wondering why your desires aren’t materializing, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Couragecast, we’re diving deep into:

• The deeper truths about manifestation beyond just "thinking positive"

• Why traditional manifestation advice doesn’t always work

• How to shift your identity to match your desires

• Practical manifestation rituals for spiritual entrepreneurs

I’ll share personal stories, energy-shifting techniques, and actionable steps to help you align with abundance, release resistance, and co-create with the Divine. Your desires are already on their way to you—it’s time to embody them.
