🌙 5 Business Lessons From the Last Eclipse Cycle

Dear Reader,

If you're a sensitive soul, you probably felt the rollercoaster of the September eclipses. Whatever you thought was about to unfold as September began may have flipped on its head—making space for new and unexpected realities.

For inspiration in your business—and maybe your life—I wanted to share a few insights that came to me through my own eclipse journey:

1. If it doesn’t sit right, there’s probably a reason. Maybe “it” needs a small tweak or a full-on do-over. Either way, I’ve learned to pay closer attention when something looks good on paper or “makes sense,” but feels off in my body. ✅

2. If a situation wants to leave your life, let it. Don’t fight it. Don’t convince it to stay. Don’t dig your heels in. Relax. Breathe. Feel the relief of releasing the struggle. ✅

3. If something new sparks joy, make room for it. Let it in. Even if something else has to leave to make space, trust the excitement. Follow the pull of what your heart loves—and see what unfolds.✅

As an example of lessons 1–3: I’ve long felt called to rebrand toward money coaching and away from business coaching. Some new wisdom landed for me in 2025 around healing money issues, and I feel deeply excited to bring it forward—to illuminate long-held patterns and support women in shifting into wealth.

This summer, I was invited to be a featured speaker on a money podcast, and it lit me up. I could see the potential for my message to reach further. I sensed that many listeners would respond and take advantage of the free gift I offered.

Then I went into my head. I felt the overwhelm building as the air date approached. And what did I do? I created more overwhelm. I tried to launch a program right after the podcast aired, following the “logic” that I needed to enroll those free gift clients into something big.

But my heart wasn’t in it. I figured I’d build the program later—maybe after people registered—but I never did. My marketing wasn’t aligned. I let AI steer the ship (see lesson #4), and it just didn’t resonate with my audience.

I almost missed the genuine joy of connecting with women around the world who simply needed support with their money issues. They joined me from Africa, Asia, Canada, New Zealand, and the U.S.—and it was deeply enriching to meet them and connect on a very human level.

I was awed by the shared experiences and life paths. Two women were accountants (like me!), which just goes to show: every one of us has money challenges, regardless of training, education, or status. Many were facing situations I had once faced—and healed—in my own life.

I still have a few more gift sessions scheduled this week, and I’ll be sad to see them end. They’ve been as much a gift to me as they were to each woman.

In the wake of this detour, I’ve taken steps toward rebranding as a money coach. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have received a DM about my new account: @TheSacredMoneyCoach.

I recently learned that my original account, @TheSpiritualBizCoach, was corrupted. I was advised to shut it down and start fresh. So that’s happening too. I loved that brand and will always be grateful for the people who met me in that space. But it’s time to move on.

4. AI is not a substitute for my voice. I already knew this—but I needed the reminder. When my heart wasn’t in it, I got lazy and let AI do the talking. And the messaging landed like a lead balloon. AI can be a great tool for a first draft, but the final message must be in my voice before I hit “send” or “post.” ✅

5. Building relationships is EVERYTHING. Connecting with like-minded souls who resonate with my brand of wisdom is pure joy. I don’t need to push. I can ride the flow. Of course, I’ll be prepared with offerings to continue the healing journey with new clients. I’m not going to “not sell”—but I don’t need to force something that feels out of alignment. ✅

So there you have it—nuggets of wisdom from a wild September ride.

What was your eclipse journey like? Did any new awarenesses or “aha” moments come through? Send me a note—I’d love to hear.

In love and prosperity,

Maria
