In my world, we lead with agency.
Which means we ask before we offer. We check in before we challenge. We pause before we praise.
Yes, even before the reframe, before the hug, before sharing that gorgeous glowing testimonial.
Because āconsent in all thingsā isnāt just a mantra.
Itās a form of sacred leadership.
Itās how I choose to disrupt hustle culture, trauma cycles, and patriarchal power plays.
Itās how you unhook from the idea that urgency, persuasion, or proximity equals permission.
Iāve learned this the hard way.
Early in my work, I assumed enthusiasm was enough. That someone booking a call meant they were ready to be cracked open. That someone following me meant they wanted access to all of me.
But the truth?
Consent must be continuous. Asked for. Respected. Honored.
Even when we think we already have it. Especially when we think we already have it (you do know what they say about assumptions right?)
Because consent doesnāt interrupt connectionāit amplifies it.
It deepens the magic.
It makes the transformation feel like a collaboration instead of a correction.
It creates the conditions where nervous systems can exhale.
Where clients can unfurl. Where āIām not readyā is just as welcome as āhell yes.ā
Itās not just that kindness is sexy (though it absolutely is).
Itās that consent as a business tool is revolutionary.
Consent says: I see you. I respect your timing, your tenderness, your truth.
Thatās the kind of economic power Iām building and the kind you can build too.
One where generosity doesnāt come with strings.
Where presence is never weaponized.
And where power is always shared.
So letās make it practical:
What would it look like to ask before offering advice?
What if you let your clients opt in before sharing your transformational insight?
What if you trusted that slowing down creates more safetyāand more sales?
This is where business becomes devotional.
This is where leadership becomes liberation.
This is where you become the kind of entrepreneur the world has been waiting for.
I invite you to reflect on the two questions below and as always my comments and DMs are open for your replies.
Where in your business (or your life) are you ready to honor consent more fully?
What gets to feel even safer, softer, and more sovereign?
Iām listening.
PS: Around here, we believe Profit is Protest. And consent? Consent is sacred currency. Letās build businesses where everyoneās āyesā is clear, celebrated, and never coerced.
Song of the Day: We Are Safe by Mikey Parker



Hell yes!
Iāve never heard anyone else say it like this so Iām playing back up. I get yeses from clients on so many things because I ask if they want what Iām offering, like to tell them something that may be difficult to hear, for instance. I donāt think anyoneās ever said no, though it would be totally okay if they did.
Kindness is sexy, indeed. And trust is cuddly.
I was training a new 22-year old customer service rep for a heavy equipment company today. He was already doing well and the small problems he was having could all be cured with this approach. He was gobsmacked, totally intrigued, by this new way of thinking and it flipped a switch for him as it made so much sense once he was introduced.
Thanks for putting this out there.
