222: The Overlooked Relationship Between Spirituality and Business

Melissa [: 00:00:00

Hey. Hey. As many of you know, this October, I'm hosting the burnout to all out live event. It's our 5 year anniversary, and I wanna take you with me. So this week, I'm sitting down with one of my good friends and keynote speaker at the burnout to all out live event as we take you on the behind the scenes and support you in growing your audience and your business. Ready? Let's dive in. Need some effective tactical advice that actually helps you get results and makes a real difference in your life and business? You've come to the right place. If you're finding yourself here today, it means you're getting ready to gain serious traction in your business, rapidly multiply your income and impact, and you're ready to make it happen while living all out.

Melissa [: 00:00:54

Guys, I'm Melissa Henault, your trustworthy corporate dropout turned 6 figure business burnout turned happy and healthy CEO of a multimillion dollar online business, and you're listening to the burnout to all out podcast. On this show, we're serving up innovative growth strategies, simple implementation methods to put them into practice, and action stimulating inspiration tailored specifically for the modern entrepreneur. Let's dive in. Hey, Hey, how's everybody doing today? So excited to introduce you to my executive coach and also spiritual mentor here in a minute on this live. She is actually gonna be one of our featured guest speakers, keynote speakers, and facilitators at our burnout to all out live later this year in October, actually, October 3rd through 5th. So excited to bring her to you here today. We're gonna be talking about the power of spirituality and energetics when it comes to business, and also why it's so important, and why I'm going to be focusing on some of it over in Austin, Texas later this year, I couldn't think of a better person to bring into my live event. If you know anything about burnout to all out live, it is a focus on growing you personally and professionally while growing your network.

Melissa [: 00:02:31

And I truly believe that body's built businesses. I don't believe it. I live it and breathe it, and have done a lot of work with Sam over the past couple of, gosh, year and a half. And I'm just so excited to be bringing her here to this live event. So, here she is. Yay. Hi. Hi.

Melissa [: 00:02:54

I know you've had a phenomenal last couple of days, which is actually timely about what we're gonna be talking about around live events. Yeah. And I was just edifying you and how you and I have been working together for over a year now. And I was talking about how you're my executive coach slash spiritual mentor, all things, and how the power of energetics and spirituality are so powerful in business. Would you agree?

Samantha [: 00:03:19

Absolutely. I don't feel like there's really a separation between the 2. I think that that's kind of an old paradigm where they have to be really separated. And now I think as consciousness is starting to evolve and people are really opening up that more people are understanding that they're 2 in the same and that one can't really operate without the other, but it's in a different way than we normally would think about the 2. So there's a really beautiful new, like, watercolor blending between spirituality and, like, business choices and decisions and feeling really aligned in intuitively, what you're here to do.

Melissa [: 00:03:56

Yes. Oh my gosh. So good. I mean, that is something you've worked with me on over the past year and a half is really diving into the practice of intuition. Yes. Constantly, we're saying, like, maybe you don't need another guru or business expert. You actually just need to learn to go within and listen to your intuition. I know you have helped me make so many gut decisions, literally, that has radically impacted positively my business.

Melissa [: 00:04:27

So you're gonna be coming to burnout to all out live. I'm so excited. You're gonna be one of our featured speakers and featured facilitators. And I was telling everybody it's a 3 day event if you get the VIP pass because you're gonna be coming on the 3rd, which is Thursday, and then that's the VIP day. And then we have Friday, Saturday general admission. You are coming back for a second time. I am so grateful that you are willing to give us your time and show up with my community. You were there last year.

Melissa [: 00:04:57

Before we get in any further, I would love maybe for you to just share with our listeners, like, why you are coming back? Like, is there anything unique about burnout to all out life from your perspective as far as how we facilitate and the community and all the things?

Samantha [: 00:05:14

Honestly, I sent this to you and I sent this to who were in your community. I am obsessed with the community that you have cultivated. It's just amazing, brilliant, really insightful, and, like, hungry people who are wanting depth of knowledge. And it's the surface level. And that's what I really loved about the event last year was that there were so many different aspects that came into the live event to really make it this holistic approach. And some spiritual coaches, there was a panel of us out out there of the importance of spirituality and business, but there's beyond that too. So the practical, you get the strategic, you get the spiritual, and really how to it all together with, like, practical application for what's happening. And that's really, like, the direction that we're going.

Samantha [: 00:06:03

Mhmm. And I really feel like you are paving the way for new leaders and way to create a business that's actually going forward. And it's just impeccable, honestly. Like, that's why I keep coming back because I love your community so much. Everybody's so generous with how they share their mind and how they share their experience, and that's not something get everywhere. It's it was special. Aw.

Melissa [: 00:06:31

Thank you. Well, I'm biased, but I think they're great. We're just really authentic humans that really have nothing to hide. Like yeah. So good. Well and I always say, like, I know on Instagram for my followers who are maybe seeing Sam for the first time, we talk about long form versus short form form Sam. Yeah. And what you see if you're watching this now and you're not connected to Sam, you need to go connect with her right now, but you're getting short form Sam.

Melissa [: 00:06:59

What you're not getting is what our clients lovingly call the long form Sam, the brilliance of Sam. I know you are going to be on stage. You are gonna be running workshops. I think we're gonna have you end at the VIP day. And you are phenomenal with the bowls and the bowls are phenomenal healing expander, but it's really one of your tools among many that you're gonna be bringing to that live event. And people are really gonna get to experience the long form version and brilliance of you. And I just can't wait to see the breakthroughs that folks have with experiencing your long form because it's incredible. I know you came out to our modern entrepreneur in February and led numerous workshops that were profound for my clients.

Melissa [: 00:07:48

Like, I got personal emails like this long. Can you see my hand? Of how impactful it was and how I'll say this, they they said that they didn't know that they needed it.

Samantha [: 00:08:00

Right.

Melissa [: 00:08:01

They didn't know that fill in the blank inner work was what was blocking them in the outer parts of their business. They didn't know that they needed to know that they needed to do that work until they met you.

Samantha [: 00:08:16

Right. That's the beauty of the work that I do is from the psychology background that I have. It's interwoven with some of the more, like, modern new age approaches that I have. And so it's really like this holistic approach from, like, the back end come these moments. I know there was one woman in particular at that event that changed her entire business because of one of the workshops that I was facilitating. And she's messaged me since then too with a lot of gratitude. And it was this tough love situation of, like, when you see people not living in full purpose, but you see what it is and the potential is there, it's really, like, part of my job to call you forward. And so that's what I get to do in long form on the state, and I'm so excited about that.

Samantha [: 00:09:04

And then, also, it's just like this really beautiful beautiful gateway into the unknown. And, again, Community last year approached me at the event. I was like, I don't know. I'm kind of scared about this. And we had a really beautiful conversation, and she trusted me, thank goodness, in that moment and continued to go on. And now she's had these really, really profound, expansive moments as she trusted the unknown. And so it is about, like, revealing what you don't know, and it's hard to put that into copy or into marketing. Like, come for the thing that you don't know that you need.

Samantha [: 00:09:41

Into words, but that's what happens.

Melissa [: 00:09:45

It's so good. I love this, and it's so true. So many breakthroughs that happen through the facilitation and the work that you do that helps us turn over some rocks that we didn't really realize needed to be turned over in order to unblock and expand us Yeah. In our business, in our mindset, in our energy, all the things. And I know any of you who have been following me for the past 2 years have witnessed it. People ask me all the time, you've changed. I'm like, hell, yeah. I've changed a lot.

Melissa [: 00:10:13

It starts like inside. Right? And I thank you so much for that. Let's talk about live events for a minute. I know we've talked about Renaud's All Out Live, but I know you just came from a a live event that you attended at the dinner series last week. And so, obviously, you're a proponent of live events. And I thought maybe you could just speak to some of these folks who are watching this are maybe newer entrepreneurs who've never invested in getting in the room. Maybe they've done everything virtually. Maybe they're on Zooms.

Melissa [: 00:10:40

Maybe they're watching courses, but they've never truly invested in themselves in showing up and being in a physical space and room. I know you're coming off the heels of alignment yourself. So can you speak to the power of live events for you, why you show up, what you get out of them, and and why folks who maybe feel a little isolated should consider coming out to Austin.

Samantha [: 00:11:03

Live events is like the way that I equate it is like summer camp for kids. So you go and you get just poured into all of this value and things that you didn't know that you needed, or you go in with an expectation and you come out with something much bigger than what you went in with, the compound value is just immeasurable for 1. And for me, the reason why I continue to go to live events myself is that it continues to sharpen you and in front of people that you might not ever be in a room with otherwise, and your network just expands in such a beautiful way. And you just never know, like, what connections are gonna lead to something much later. I've made connections with people, like, 4 years ago from live events that are I mean, very fruitful. And so How

Melissa [: 00:11:49

do you and I at that? I was at a live event that you facilitated at. That's the whole reason this whole arrangement is happening.

Samantha [: 00:11:58

Right. And it's so magnificent. And so Brendan Burchard was speaking at this event that I was just at, and Chris Harder asked him, how many times do you think people should come to live events? And Brendon Burchard said, at least once a month. Get yourself out there at least once a month to connect in person with people because there's electricity, there's energy there that you're not gonna get through a screen. And there's beauty and there's a lot that happens in the comfort of your own home, but something really transformative happens when you get a little bit uncomfortable, and you're alongside other people who are uncomfortable too. So it's not it doesn't feel as lonely. Entrepreneurship can feel really lonely, and so we don't have that water cooler talk typically as an entrepreneur. But in these spaces, you can bounce ideas off of each other, process in real time of, like, wow.

Samantha [: 00:12:52

This just hit me. This speaker just hit me in such a way. Like, how do I take this back home and implement it for my work? There's nothing like it. So I say in person is one of the most important investments that you can make as an entrepreneur.

Melissa [: 00:13:06

So true. And and I know for me, a lot of the breakthroughs of these live events, they happen during the bathroom break. Yes. They happen during the lunches. They happened in the impromptu cocktail or impromptu dinner with complete strangers that you met through a breakout session and became fast friends. Like, you cannot create this environment in a Zoom. And I know it burned out to all that light. It was so funny.

Melissa [: 00:13:32

I came off stage and ran to the bathroom and there were literally people sitting at a table outside, like, literally, like, signing a contract and going into business together. Right?

Samantha [: 00:13:43

Folks. Yes. That's all it happens. We've all heard that phrase, like, the meeting before the meeting. That's, like, when the magic really happens. The same thing happens at live events. These micro moments in between that really cultivate deep connection that you just don't get anywhere else.

Melissa [: 00:14:00

Yes. So true. Well, I have kept you for enough time already. I know I get you all to myself tomorrow for a 1 on 1 coaching call with you. But I just want to kinda wrap up this with some details about the event, make sure everybody has them. So it's Burnout to All Out Live that's in Austin, Texas. Amazing city and a hotel right on the river. So cool.

Melissa [: 00:14:22

All October 3rd through 5th if you opt into the VIP day. So the VIP day is a smaller exclusive day of workshops with our team and some incredible experts like Sam who've supported my growth. It's also our 5 year anniversary celebration. So that is huge. And it's interesting. All of my keynote speakers are mentors of mine, which is really cool that have, like, literally contributed to my growth as an entrepreneur. So, again, August 3rd to 5th, if you choose the VIP ticket, there are silver tickets left that include VIP. All the golds are sold out.

Melissa [: 00:14:56

So the golds really included a brand photo shoot, but there's still a couple of silver tickets left. They sell out buzz. If you go to my, like, handle on Instagram, if you click up top, there's a little bio of some sort and you can get your live event ticket. The thing I wanted to share with you guys is that for the month of June only, we're putting a special out there for anyone who registers for burnout to all out live, whether you invest in a silver ticket or a general admission ticket. That investment we're actually giving as a gift to you to roll into if you decide to join any of our programs, LGA, which is the lead gen academy, build, grow, scale, or our mastermind, anytime this year by the end of December 31st, your investment in that live event ticket is rolled into your investment into any of our coaching programs. That is our gift in June. That's our gift for saying yes to your expansion in business professionally, personally, and growing your network. Sam, thank you so much for jumping on.

Melissa [: 00:16:01

Love your brilliance. You have impacted me so much personally in my business, in my relationships, inside and outside of, like, all aspects of life. And you're just an amazing human that I am so excited that my community gets to experience in October. Any final remarks before we wrap up, my friend?

Samantha [: 00:16:22

Thank you so much for all that, and thank you for continuing to bring me into such an amazing community. What I will say is I have a bowl right next to me. Maybe we do a little sign up with a bowl.

Melissa [: 00:16:31

Oh, I love that. That's a great idea. K.

Samantha [: 00:16:34

Here we go. I love this. Deep breath in. Let me do it. Okay. Gosh. And so much more amazing energy to come in October. Thank you so much for having me.
