    Unfiltered Business Q&A: Coaching Offers, Visibility, Ethical Launching + Making Money in a Weird Economy
    Jul 3 2025

    This was my first time ever doing a public Ask Me Anything—and it was pure 🔥.

    In this 2+ hour episode, I answer real-time questions from coaches, healers, creatives, and magical entrepreneurs about:

    • Whether you should launch your offer as a cohort or evergreen (and why)
    • Building momentum from a small audience
    • How to actually market the “intangible” (like body-based magic + somatic work)
    • What to do if you’re burnt out on content and still not making sales
    • How to structure your business if you're multi-passionate
    • Why people aren’t buying right now—and what to do instead
    • Whether (and how) to publicly post your prices
    • What to do when your launch flops (and how to still profit from it)
    • A million-dollar breakdown of why your cold traffic ad isn’t converting—and how to fix it
    • Plus, stories about my 13-year business journey, launching without an audience, being the breadwinner with zero backup plan, and how I accidentally built a 7-figure business that funds reforestation + food sovereignty work.

    You’ll walk away with practical strategies and mindset shifts that can change everything—whether you're just starting out or scaling a mature business.

    🎧 Tune in for real talk, actionable advice, and the exact guidance that’s helped my clients create thriving, values-led businesses.

  • The 6 Stages of Regenerative Growth (in business & soil)

    The 6 Stages of Regenerative Growth (in business & soil)
    Jun 6 2025

    Hello again! After a beautifully slow summer, I’m back with a story-fueled solo episode that blends regenerative farming, soulful entrepreneurship, and a juicy email that reminded me why I do this work. We’ll explore the 6 stages of regenerative growth — inspired by watching my husband build fertile soil from scratch — and how those same principles map onto building a wildly sustainable and abundant online business.

    If you’re scaling your business, launching your first course, or dreaming of a harvest season where your business runs like a food forest, this is for you. I’ll walk you through how to go from worms and weeds (aka: skill-building and networking) to full-on radical riches, complete with fruiting systems, passive income, and team support.

    Plus: a reminder about a secret invitation that’s sitting in your inbox right now… but only if you’ve bought something from me before 😉

  • How to Create an Energetically Aligned Funnel That Actually Works

    How to Create an Energetically Aligned Funnel That Actually Works

You'll get 30% off, four live Q&A calls with Sam, and a ridiculously accessible payment plan—available until March 31st.🔗 Link to join + bonus resources here: https://play.thedirtyalchemy.com/evergreen-ecosystem-300-off/Your funnel isn’t a machine—it’s a spell.In this powerful episode, Sam Garcia reveals how to build an automated funnel that feels alive, carries your energy, and magnetizes the right people to your work. Because let’s be honest: traditional marketing systems often feel soulless (and totally misaligned for sensitive, intuitive entrepreneurs).But what if your automation could feel like an extension of you? What if your funnel was a sacred container for transformation?Sam breaks it down into 3 energetic phases:Phase 1: RESONANCEThis is where your person (the one you're here to serve) stops scrolling because something about your energy calls to them.In traditional marketing, this is called "attraction" or "traffic" – which sounds about as soulless as it gets.But when we approach this phase energetically, we realize it's not about getting just anyone's attention. It's about creating a specific energetic signature that resonates ONLY with the people you're meant to serve.How to Align Your Energy for Maximum Resonance:Honor your authentic expression - When you try to sound like everyone else, your energy becomes dilutedCreate from a centered state - Your emotional state while creating content is embedded in the workFocus on service over strategy - Lead with how you can genuinely help, not how you can capture attentionQuick exercise: Close your eyes and visualize your ideal client/customer/student. What energy are they seeking? What frequency are they tuned to? This is the energy you want to infuse into everything you create.Phase 2: INITIATIONThis is where someone moves from passive observer to active participant in your world.This is a sacred threshold crossing. It's the moment someone says, "Yes, I want to go deeper with you."In conventional marketing terms, this is the "lead generation" phase—but that clinical language fails to capture the energetic significance of this moment.When someone gives you their email address, purchases a small offer, or commits their time to attend your webinar, they're not just becoming a "lead." They're entering into an energetic relationship with you.How to Honor the Initiation Phase:Create meaningful entry points - Offer genuine value that represents your best workRemove unnecessary friction - Make the path clear and aligned with your person's needsAcknowledge the trust being placed in you - Welcome new community members with genuine appreciationQuick exercise: What small, meaningful commitment could someone make that would deepen your connection? This could be joining your email list, purchasing a mini-offer, or attending a live event with you.Phase 3: TRANSFORMATIONThis is where the real magic happens – when someone experiences the full power of your work.This is about creating a container strong enough to hold profound transformation.It's about guiding someone safely through a journey of becoming.In traditional marketing, this would be called the "conversion" or "sales" phase—but for sensitive, intuitive entrepreneurs, it's so much more than a transaction. It's about facilitating genuine transformation.How to Create Transformative Containers:Design with the end transformation in mind - What will your person feel, know, and become?Build energetic boundaries - Create safe spaces for vulnerability and growthInfuse each step with intention - Every email, video, and interaction should move energy toward transformationQuick exercise: What transformation do you most love facilitating? How does it feel in your body when you witness someone experiencing this change? This is the energy you want to encode into your offers.🎁 If you're listening in March 2025, don’t miss your chance to join the only live round of Sam’s signature program, Evergreen Ecosystem.

  • The Funnel Paradox: Build Systems That Set You Free (Without Selling Your Soul)

    The Funnel Paradox: Build Systems That Set You Free (Without Selling Your Soul)
    Mar 26 2025

    Funnels don’t have to feel gross.

    In this episode of the Regenerative Business Podcast, Sam Garcia dives into a strange (and frustrating) paradox: why heart-centered, magical, and sensitive entrepreneurs—who most need automated systems to protect their energy—are often the ones most repelled by the word funnel.

    Sam unpacks the three major reasons this resistance shows up:

    The manipulation myth that says all funnels are sleazy

    The authenticity trap that keeps us hustling to feel "real"

    The systems stereotype that says systems are only for logical, non-creative people

    And then, she invites you into a totally different approach: building living business ecosystems that work like nature—resilient, sustainable, magical.

    This episode is a must-listen if you’re ready to stop burning out and start building systems that carry your magic even while you rest.

    🎁 If you're listening in March 2025, don’t miss the limited-time live round of Evergreen Ecosystem—Sam’s signature program to help sensitive entrepreneurs build soul-aligned sales funnels that work. Includes 4 live calls with Sam, a special enrollment discount, and a super-accessible payment plan.

    5 Myths preventing you from creating Drool-Worthy Offers (and what to do instead)
