All articles Leadership How Leaders in Service-Based Businesses Can Protect Their Energy Running a service based business is deeply personal. People who start and run these types of businesses begin by asking ‘what is the solution to the problem I am seeing in the world?’ Of course, running a product based business comes with its own challenges and ups and downs but there is something uniquely emotional about serving others.

Kristi is a nervous system coach, subconscious practitioner, public speaker, Lead Facilitator in the Subconscious Imprinting Technique (SIT) Certification Program, and founder of SomaSkye Wellness — a space devoted to helping entrepreneurs, practitioners, and executives build real inner capacity for the lives they’re here to lead. Her work centers on one thing: safety in the body. Because without that, no amount of strategy, mindset work, or leadership training will stick. Kristi integrates Subconscious Imprinting Technique (SIT), Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), somatic healing, and nervous system coaching to help her clients regulate at the root, supporting sustainable clarity, emotional resilience, and embodied leadership. She’s known for translating deep, complex healing work into something people can actually feel and apply. No fluff. No spiritual bypassing. No performative regulation. Just grounded, powerful transformation that begins in the body. Clients often say they finally understand nervous system work after experiencing it with her — not just in theory, but in their cells. As a public speaker, Kristi brings this same clarity and embodied presence to stages, workshops, and conversations that demand more than surface-level insight. Her message is simple and powerful: you don’t have to hustle for safety, you can build it from within. She teaches audiences how to stop outsourcing safety and reclaim their nervous system as the foundation of leadership, creativity, and self-trust. But none of this is just a profession for her — it’s a personal reclamation. After surviving years of shutdown, trauma, and disconnection from her body, Kristi never expected to live this long, let alone thrive. Today, she lives in devotion to showing others what’s possible when safety becomes the foundation — in business, in relationships, and in life. She’s the creator of The Foundation, a monthly membership for leaders doing the inner work required to hold more, rise higher, and root deeper. This isn’t about fixing. It’s about remembering, building the foundation, and rising from there.

Nancy Elliott is a leading Single women’s influencer specializing in relationships. She is a high performing 1-1 and group Coach offering programs ranging from 3 months to 1 year. Nancy's childhood was shaped by 3 generations of women who struggled with low self-worth and co-dependency. She inherited these traits and struggled with relationships. Determined to break this family cycle, Nancy created strategies, tools, and techniques to dramatically enhance and cultivate a strong and loving relationship with herself. She has since dedicated her life to helping women deepen self-love and self-worth; also to deepen wisdom and expand their capacity to love and be loved. Nancy says "When a woman releases egoic structures of grandiosity or victimization, she experiences a psychic and somatic shift, from victimized or traumatized self, to an intentional and generative relationship with herself. She will automatically begin to show up powerfully; with new stronger boundaries. This is when the magic begins, from this deeper center, and now she can create the extraordinary relationships she always knew she was capable of” And so it is.

I’m Carmel Shami, a time management mentor, Ikigai coach, author, former social worker, and the founder of It’s About Time. I help overwhelmed professionals and individuals with demanding lives break free from burnout and constant overload through a holistic productivity and time-management approach that honors the whole person. My journey with time began early, growing up on a kibbutz in Israel and accompanying my nurse mother as she visited the elderly. Later, my children’s health challenges and my work as a social worker with bereaved families and seniors deepened my understanding of how precious and fragile time truly is. These experiences shaped two truths I teach every client. First, we will never complete everything we plan or desire. As one elderly client once told me, "No one dies finished." Second, every choice has a cost. Even when we manage well, something else is always affected, which is why choosing in alignment with our values matters deeply. For over a decade, I worked in elder care, witnessing how some people found peace later in life while others carried regret for time misspent. That insight, along with my work as a professional organizer and productivity consultant, taught me that real-time management is not about rigid schedules or endless checklists. It’s about building a life you can respect when you look back. My professional background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University, along with certifications as an Ikigai Coach, Health Coach for Older Adults and Seniors, Grief Support Specialist, Residential Organizer Specialist, Workplace Productivity Specialist, and Team Productivity Specialist. I also taught Life Beyond Clutter at Florida International University’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. My holistic approach looks at the full picture: work, relationships, health, growth, and inner well-being. Through coaching, workshops, and writing, including my children’s book Stressy Jessy, I help people create sustainable systems that reduce anxiety, restore balance, and support intentional living. What moves me most is watching people reconnect with what truly matters and begin living in alignment with their values. When I am not working, I enjoy reading, meditating, cooking, writing, and spending time with my husband, our three children, and our dog, Elvis.

Emily Lacy, a licensed professional clinical counselor and sex therapist, has made significant contributions to the field of sex and relationship therapy and education. Born in a small rural town in West Virginia, Emily grew up with an extremely conservative and fear-based education around sex and relationships which sparked her passion for helping others create an empowered and pleasurable sex life. Her early experiences of deconstructing shame-filled and fear-based messages shaped her academic and professional pursuits.   Emily's professional career began as an intern for a small private practice in northern Kentucky while completing her graduate degree at Liberty University. Her experiences working in a conservative environment while attending a faith-based university further fueled her interest in deconstructing harmful and inaccurate messages around sex and pleasure. Following graduation from her Master's program, Emily immediately enrolled as a doctoral student to embrace her love of research and growing the field of sex therapy. Her current research projects involve exploring the experiences of vulva owners who have sought treatment for genito-pelvic pain and the barriers that present along the way.   Emily is an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists, and American Counseling Association. Outside of her academic and professional endeavors, Emily is passionate about volunteering and advocating for nonprofit organizations. In her leisure time, she enjoys traveling with her partner and two children, hiking, gardening, writing, and reading fantasy romance novels.
