Episode Overview

In this episode of the Inspired Founders Podcast, Priscilla Ann sits down with entrepreneur, creative visionary, and founder Amy Shaw to explore the powerful intersection between entrepreneurship, spirituality, and authentic living.

Amy shares her remarkable journey from building a successful career in the fashion industry to undergoing a profound personal transformation that reshaped her life and business. From working her way up in major fashion brands to launching and scaling her own fashion label Frowtribe, Amy built a thriving career without following a traditional path.

However, a deep spiritual awakening led her to dismantle the life she had built—including selling her business and leaving her marriage—to pursue a path that was fully aligned with her authentic self.

Today, Amy leads Lurve, a spiritual creative agency and wellness platform that helps individuals connect with their purpose, personal brand, and soul-led business.

How to Build a Global Brand Using Instagram & Community with Brooke Vulinovich

In this deeply personal solo episode of Inspired Founders, host Priscilla Ann opens up about a theme that has shaped both her life and entrepreneurial journey: pivoting.

Recorded live during the Inspired Founders launch event, Priscilla shares the story behind her mission, the experiences that led her to create this platform, and why learning to pivot has become one of the most powerful skills she’s developed as a founder.

From leaving home at 17 to building and closing businesses, navigating burnout, changing cities, and evolving her vision multiple times over the past 12 years, Priscilla reflects on how embracing change has allowed her to grow into the person and leader she is today.

In a world where entrepreneurs are often taught to stick rigidly to a plan, Priscilla challenges the idea that consistency equals success. Instead, she invites founders to see pivoting not as failure or inconsistency, but as a sign of awareness, alignment, and evolution.

Throughout the episode, she explores the difference between fear-based decisions and intuitive redirection, how to recognize when something is no longer aligned, and why letting go of the need to be understood by everyone can unlock your next level of growth.

This conversation is an invitation for founders who feel like their path is shifting — reminding them that change is not a setback, but often the very thing that moves them closer to their true purpose.

Key Topics Covered


Priscilla’s personal entrepreneurial journey and mission behind Inspired Founders


Why pivoting is one of the most important skills in business and life


The difference between discipline and forcing outcomes


Control vs. trust in entrepreneurship


Recognizing when something is no longer aligned


Listening to intuition over public perception


How pivoting can create new opportunities and growth


Releasing the need to be understood by everyone


Understanding the difference between fear and misalignment


Reading energy, timing, and momentum in business decisions


Why evolution requires letting go of past versions of yourself

Notable Quotes

“Pivoting is not a weakness — it’s responsiveness.”

“Sometimes control is just fear dressed up as leadership.”

“Consistency feels safe, but sometimes the original plan was built by a previous version of you.”

“When you listen to intuition over optics, your business becomes magnetic.”

“The most powerful move you can make is changing direction when something no longer aligns.”

Themes & Insights Pivoting Is a Leadership Skill

Many founders fear changing direction because they worry about appearing inconsistent. But the most effective leaders are not rigid — they are aware, adaptable, and responsive to the moment.

Alignment Creates Momentum

When something is truly aligned, it often feels energizing and expansive. When something is forced, it feels heavy and resistant. Learning to recognize that difference is a powerful entrepreneurial skill.

Your Past Self Should Not Dictate Your Future

Many business plans, offers, and timelines are created by earlier versions of ourselves. As we evolve, it’s natural for those plans to evolve too.

Letting Go Creates Space for Better Opportunities

Every time Priscilla has honored a pivot in her journey, something new and more aligned has eventually emerged. Pivoting creates space for the next chapter to unfold.

You Don’t Need Everyone to Understand Your Evolution

When you make bold decisions in business, some people may not understand. But the right people — your clients, audience, and community — will align with your authenticity.

Actionable Takeaways


Pay attention to how your body responds to decisions — alignment often feels lighter and more expansive.


Reflect on whether you are forcing an outcome or taking aligned action.


Ask yourself whether a decision is coming from fear or from intuition.


Allow yourself to release timelines that no longer feel aligned.


Remember that pivoting can open the door to opportunities you couldn’t see before.


Focus on evolving with who you are becoming rather than clinging to past versions of your vision.

Follow-Up Questions for Listeners


Is there something in your life or business that no longer feels aligned?


Are you holding onto a plan because it still feels right — or because you announced it publicly?


Where might your intuition be asking you to shift direction?


Are you resisting change because of fear of perception?


What might become possible if you allowed yourself to pivot?

Final Thoughts

Entrepreneurship is not a straight path — it is a journey of constant evolution.

The most successful founders are not the ones who cling rigidly to a plan, but the ones who are willing to adapt, listen, and trust their intuition when something no longer feels right.

Pivoting is not a step backward.
It is often the moment that moves you forward.

If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who may need the reminder that change is not failure — it’s growth.

Pivoting Is a Founder Superpower with Priscilla Ann

Episode Overview

In this deeply raw and expansive conversation, Priscilla Ann sits down with coach, breathwork facilitator, former political candidate, and emerging spiritual rap artist Scott Wallace.

Scott shares his unconventional journey from environmental science and law to political activism, running for office during the chaos of 2020, and ultimately stepping into entrepreneurship as a coach and facilitator.

But this episode goes far deeper than career pivots.

Scott vulnerably opens up about the moment that shook him to his core — running a powerful three-day immersion and making zero dollars in sales. What followed was a profound reckoning with failure, identity, self-worth, and the question many entrepreneurs secretly ask:

What if this path isn’t actually meant for me?

Together, they explore entrepreneurship as a spiritual initiation, the fear of being polarizing, the shame of returning to part-time work, and the courage it takes to evolve — even when it means letting go of something successful.

The conversation ends on a powerful note of reinvention, as Scott shares his newest creative edge: performing conscious, high-vibe spiritual rap as the next evolution of his mission.

This episode is a must-listen for any founder navigating doubt, pivots, or the messy middle of becoming.

Key Topics Covered:


From environmental science to law to political candidacy


Running for state election during the global collapse of 2020


Activism, veganism, and the fear of being polarizing in business


Entrepreneurship as the ultimate spiritual initiation


The three-day immersion that generated zero sales


Processing failure emotionally — not just reframing it mentally


Shame around taking part-time work while building a business


Letting go of a successful program to create space for reinvention


Trust vs. strategy in spiritual entrepreneurship


Nervous system regulation and breathwork in high-pressure moments


Stepping into creative expression through spiritual rap

Notable Quotes:

“I’ve realized I don’t have a sales problem. I’ve got a personal problem that gets in the way when I’m making sales.”

“What if the dreams and vision I’m working so hard towards aren’t actually in alignment for me?”

“Entrepreneurship has been my biggest spiritual initiation.”

“Remember who the f*ck you are, bro — what you’re here to do.”

Themes & Insights:


Business exposes your deepest wounds around worth, rejection, and failure


Authenticity requires risking being misunderstood


Failure must be felt — not bypassed


Courage is a daily practice of leaning into discomfort


Alignment sometimes requires burning down what once worked


Creative expression can become the next evolution of your mission


Nervous system regulation is essential for embodied leadership

Actionable Takeaways:


If something “fails,” allow yourself to feel it before reframing it


Notice where you may be holding back your truth to avoid rejection


Reassess whether your current offers still align with who you’re becoming


Develop tools (like breathwork) to regulate your nervous system in moments of contraction


Remember that pivots are not setbacks — they are evolution

Follow-Up Questions for Listeners:


Where are you playing small to avoid being polarizing?


Have you fully processed your business “failures,” or just reframed them?


What would it look like to trust your next evolution — even if it makes no logical sense?


Are you building a business from alignment or from fear?


What creative edge is asking to emerge through you right now?

Final Thoughts:

Scott’s story is a powerful reminder that entrepreneurship is not just about strategy or sales — it’s about identity, healing, and becoming.

The moments that feel like collapse are often initiation.

Whether it’s zero sales, financial pressure, or questioning your entire path, these are the fires that refine you.

Your mission may evolve. Your offers may change. You may even reinvent yourself entirely.

But if you stay courageous enough to face yourself — growth is inevitable.

Scott&rsquo;s story is a powerful reminder that entrepreneurship is not just about strategy or sales &mdash; it&rsquo;s about identity, healing, and becoming.

Whether it&rsquo;s zero sales, financial pressure, or questioning your entire path, these are the fires that refine you.
Your mission may evolve. Your offers may change. You may even reinvent yourself entirely.
But if you stay courageous enough to face yourself &mdash; growth is inevitable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect &amp; Continue the Conversation

The Spiritual Initiation of Entrepreneurship with Scott Wallace

In this powerful and deeply reflective episode of Inspired Founders, Priscilla Anne sits down with coach, speaker, author and founder Lewis Huckstep for a conversation that bridges high performance with deep inner healing.

Lewis shares his journey from a childhood marked by trauma, anxiety, and diagnoses of Asperger’s and ADHD to becoming what he calls an “insecure overachiever.” Driven by a need for validation and safety, he chased achievement relentlessly: national sports titles, early success in network marketing with Herbalife, and owning three gyms by the age of 22.

But external success did not equal internal fulfillment.

After burnout, financial instability despite running a million-dollar business, and a profound “dark night of the soul,” Lewis began asking a different question:

Who am I without the achievements?

What followed was a shift from desperation-fueled success to purpose-driven leadership.

In this episode, Lewis breaks down his three-pillar framework of self-mastery, strategy, and inner work. He explains why most people don’t lack discipline they lack alignment. Why courage is blocked by unresolved past hurt. And why your external reality is a projection of your internal identity.

This conversation is for founders who feel successful on paper but restless within  and for anyone ready to take radical responsibility for their life and leadership.

Lewis Huckstep’s Background

Lewis Huckstep is a coach, speaker, author, and founder focused on self-mastery, purpose, and business strategy.

Diagnosed with Asperger’s and ADHD and raised in a volatile household, Lewis developed a deep sense of anxiety and insecurity early in life. He channeled that pain into achievement, excelling in sport, building a strong Herbalife network marketing business at 18, and owning three gyms by 22.

Despite outward success, he experienced burnout, relationship breakdowns, and financial instability. This led to a major pivot: selling his businesses, stepping back, and beginning deeper inner work.

Today, Lewis helps entrepreneurs integrate spiritual fulfillment with high performance, blending purpose, identity work, nervous system regulation, and strategic execution. He runs programs, events, a podcast, and has authored a book on self-mastery and identity transformation.

The integration of spirituality and strategy


Self-mastery: values, purpose, mission, and vision


Why lack of action is rarely a strategy problem

Notable Quotes

“I believe we become who we needed when we were at our lowest.”

“I became an insecure overachiever.”

“Past hurt creates future fear.”

“You don’t see things the way they are — you see things the way you are.”

“If your projection is shit, it’s not the world — it’s the projector.”

“To the degree you resist reality is the degree that you suffer.”

Core Themes & Insights1. Achievement Can Be Trauma-Driven

Lewis explains how success can be fueled by insecurity rather than inspiration. When achievement becomes a coping mechanism, fulfillment is never reached.

2. Self-Mastery Precedes Strategy

You can have the best strategy in the world but if your identity is misaligned, you won’t execute it. Sustainable success requires knowing your values, purpose, and authentic direction.

3. Your Life Is a Projection

Your beliefs, trauma, and nervous system state shape your patterns and triggers. To change your results, you must change the internal “projector.”

4. Courage Is Often Blocked by Unresolved Hurt

Fear of judgment, rejection, or failure usually traces back to childhood wounds. Identifying the root belief is the real breakthrough.

5. Spirituality and High Performance Can Coexist

Lewis challenges the idea that you must choose between being deeply spiritual or financially successful. The power lies in integrating both.

6. Radical Responsibility Is Freedom

When you stop blaming circumstances and take ownership of your internal state, your life shifts.

Actionable Takeaways


Identify your top values and build your goals around them.


If you’re procrastinating, ask: What am I protecting myself from?


Look for patterns  not just problems.


Heal past hurt instead of projecting it into future fear.


Create a long-term vision broken into daily action steps.


Balance stillness and strategy  fulfillment and execution.


Take responsibility for your internal world before blaming your external one.

Questions for Reflection


Am I building from inspiration or insecurity?


Where am I still seeking validation through achievement?


What past hurt might be creating my current fear?


If my life is a projection, what does it reveal about my identity?


What would radical responsibility look like for me right now?


Am I integrating both fulfillment and strategy or leaning too far to one side?

Final Thoughts

Lewis Huckstep’s story is a powerful reminder that success without self-awareness leads to burnout  and that real leadership begins within.

You are not stuck because you lack discipline.
You are stuck because something inside is unresolved.

When you align your identity with your purpose and pair it with courageous action, everything changes.

Inspired Founders is about building businesses that feel aligned, sustainable, and deeply meaningful.

And that begins with self-mastery.

From Insecure Overachiever  to Self-Mastery with Lewis Huckstep

Episode Overview

In this powerful and mystical episode of Inspired Founders, Priscilla Ann sits down with entrepreneur, author, and creator of the Animal Apothecary card deck, Cara Elizabeth, to explore her extraordinary journey from trauma to empowerment.

Cara shares how a childhood revelation uncovered through a dream involving ravens led her down a deep healing path — one that moved her from victimhood and heavy medication into personal power, spiritual connection, and creative expression.

From working at Gucci to publishing with Hay House after a serendipitous encounter with Gabby Bernstein, Cara’s story is a testament to trusting the signs, following intuitive nudges, and allowing healing to become your greatest catalyst for impact.

Together, they explore animal medicine, manifestation, the astrological Fire Horse energy, and what it truly means to let go of control and step into aligned success.

This episode is a reminder that your trauma does not define you — but how you transmute it can shape your destiny.

In This Episode, We Explore:


Discovering repressed trauma through dream symbolism


Moving from victim identity to personal empowerment


The role of animal medicine in healing and self-discovery


Creating the Animal Apothecary deck while working at Gucci


How a chance encounter with Gabby Bernstein led to Hay House


The realities of traditional publishing and self-promotion


Launching a 150–200 member subscription community


The importance of financial safety nets when leaving a job


Fire Horse astrology and accelerated manifestation energy


The message of the Black Panther: fearlessness and protection


Letting go of control and embracing life’s cycles

Key Themes & Insights:

✨ Healing begins when you reclaim your power
✨ Synchronicities appear when perception shifts

✨ Adaptability is the key to thriving in seasons of change
✨ Manifestation accelerates when thoughts are disciplined
✨ Nature and animal symbolism offer profound guidance

Powerful Quotes from the Episode:

“I realized I didn’t want to stay in victimhood. I wanted to reclaim my power.”

“The signs were always there — I just had to become open enough to see them.”

“Publishing a book doesn’t build your platform for you. You still have to show up.”

“The Fire Horse energy is asking us to evolve — to tame our thoughts and move with intention.”

You are healing from trauma and seeking empowerment

Final Thoughts

This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is not linear — it is cyclical, intuitive, and deeply personal.

Cara’s journey shows us that when we stop trying to control the outcome and instead follow the whispers of our inner knowing, doors open in ways we could never strategically plan.

The Fire Horse energy invites us all to evolve, release fear, and move boldly toward the life we desire.

Transformation is not about becoming someone new — it’s about remembering who you truly are.

Animal Medicine and Reclaiming Your Power with Cara Elizabeth

Episode Overview

In this deeply raw and powerful conversation, Priscilla Ann sits down with business coach and founder Lezly Kaye for an honest discussion about trauma, ambition, burnout, motherhood, and redefining success on your own terms.

Lezly shares her extraordinary journey from a chaotic and impoverished childhood to building a $20M recruitment business with a 40-person team — and the identity crisis and burnout that ultimately led her to walk away from it all. What followed was a courageous year of healing, unmasking, and coming home to herself.

This episode is a must-listen for founders who feel trapped by their own success, are questioning hustle culture, or are craving a more sustainable, soul-aligned way of building wealth and impact.

In This Episode, We Explore:


How childhood trauma and scarcity shaped Lezly’s drive for success — and her workaholism


Becoming a “cycle breaker” and the hidden pressure that comes with it


Building a $20M business while working 12-hour days — and why it led to burnout


The inflexibility around maternity leave that pushed Lezly to start her own company


Sacrificing presence in motherhood in the name of financial security


What it feels like to wake up as a “stranger” in a life that looks successful from the outside


The courage it took to end her marriage, dismantle her business, and choose herself


Why bigger is not always better — and how lean businesses create more freedom


Redefining money as a tool for choice, not self-worth


Building businesses that support your life, not consume it

Key Takeaways for Founders:

✨ Success built from fear and unhealed trauma is unsustainable
✨ Burnout is not a personal failure — it’s often a systems problem
✨ You can be both an ambitious entrepreneur and a present parent
✨ Lean, profitable businesses can outperform large, high-overhead ones
✨ Alignment sometimes requires burning down what no longer fits
✨ Money is not the goal — freedom, choice, and integrity are

Powerful Quotes from the Episode:

“My job, my capacity to earn money — that was my identity.”

“No one really understands what it feels like to wake up feeling like a fraud inside a life you built.”

“I had to unmask myself — strip away who I thought I should be to find who I actually am.”

“So many women have built prisons, not businesses.”

About Lezly Kaye

Lezly Kaye is a business coach and former recruitment founder who scaled her agency to a $20 million valuation before choosing to walk away in pursuit of alignment and sustainability.

Today, Lezly supports female founders to build lean, profitable businesses without sacrificing their health, relationships, or identity. She is also the founder of a not-for-profit initiative designed to support women recovering from burnout, with a bold mission to help 1,000 women become millionaires — consciously.

This Episode Is For You If:


You feel successful on paper but unfulfilled inside


You’re questioning hustle culture and burnout-normalisation


You’re a mother navigating ambition and guilt


You want to build wealth without losing yourself


You’re ready to redefine success from the inside out

Building a $20M Business and Walking Away To Choose Yourself with Lezly Kaye

In this powerful solo episode, Priscilla Ann opens Season 3 of Inspired Founders with a raw, heartfelt story behind the creation of the movement. For the first time, she steps out of her comfort zone to share the real journey — from losing her identity as a teenage ballerina, leaving home at 17, building and pivoting through multiple businesses, to experiencing a spiritual awakening that led to the birth of Inspired Founders.

This episode sets the foundation for Season 3 — a season dedicated to coming home to yourself, reconnecting with purpose, and building soul-led success that feels deeply aligned. Priscilla shares how external success without inner alignment led to burnout and emptiness, and how reconnecting with her spiritual self transformed not only her business, but her entire life.

This is an invitation to every founder who knows they are here for more — to stop chasing and start creating from the soul.

Key Topics Covered:


The real story behind Inspired Founders and why it exists


Navigating identity loss, pivots, and reinvention as an entrepreneur


Leaving home at 17 and trusting inner guidance during uncertainty


From external success to inner emptiness — the wake-up call


Spirituality, faith, and intuition in business


Why entrepreneurship is an initiation into personal growth


Letting go of misaligned work and stepping into self-worth


The “Inspired Founders” download and trusting divine timing


Building success from the soul, not adrenaline


What Season Three represents and where Inspired Founders is heading next

Notable Quotes:

“I wasn’t someone with a perfect roadmap. What I had was a deep knowing — and that knowing has always guided me.”

“I had created all this external success, but inside I felt empty. I realized I’d locked parts of myself away.”

“Entrepreneurship isn’t polished — it’s an initiation into you. It will crack you wide open.”

“You don’t need to be ready. You need to be willing. Fear doesn’t mean stop — it means expansion.”

Themes & Insights:


True fulfillment comes from aligning business with soul and purpose


Entrepreneurship is a personal and spiritual growth journey


Identity loss can be a powerful catalyst for reinvention


Success without alignment leads to burnout and emptiness


Your story — especially the messy parts — is your greatest asset


Inspired Founders are here to create impact, not just income

Actionable Takeaways:


Reflect on where you may be chasing success instead of alignment


Reconnect with the parts of yourself you may have locked away


Let go of work, clients, or paths that no longer feel aligned


Trust your inner knowing, even when logic doesn’t make sense


Remember that fear often signals expansion, not failure

Follow-Up Questions for Listeners:


Where in your life are you creating from pressure instead of purpose?


What parts of yourself have you been disconnecting from to “succeed”?


What would it look like to build your business from the soul?


Are you willing to trust the calling, even before you feel ready?

Final Thoughts:

This episode is the energetic foundation of Season Three — an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and remember who you are beneath the titles and achievements. Priscilla’s story is a reminder that success doesn’t come from striving harder, but from creating in alignment with your deepest truth.

Season Three is about coming home to yourself — and this is just the beginning.
