    79: Stylist Spotlight: The Law of Attraction and Rewiring the Fear of Success with Courtney Davila
    Sep 30 2026
    Today we're continuing our Stylist Spotlight series, and I am so excited to welcome Courtney Davila of Anaheim, CA to the show! Courtney has built a thriving personal styling business dressing queer and trans adults for their daily lives, and she is fully booked out months in advance. But even with a full calendar, she came to our conversation carrying a very real limiting belief, the fear that something this good is going to be taken away from her. In this episode, Courtney and I talk about her path from an apparel degree at Cal Poly Pomona into e-commerce styling and then into the deeply personal, values-driven styling work she does now. Then we go straight into a live coaching conversation, where we dig into what's really underneath an "upper limit" ceiling: the practical, business-side fixes like outsourcing and safety nets, and the energetic, mindset-side work of finding the positive opposite of your biggest fear. We also talk honestly about running a business alongside chronic illness and OCD, and why courage isn't the absence of fear, it's doing the thing anyway! If my last episode lit something up for you, enrollment is open for Success Prodigy, my four-month program built on four pillars: mindset, wealth consciousness, communication, and negotiation. You'll get live monthly trainings, live support on your real conversations and real numbers, workbooks, guides, and a community of people doing this work together.

Have you been feeling called to the world of fashion but aren't sure how to turn that passion into a paycheck, I've created a path just for you. Whether you're at the very beginning and need the fundamentals in Stylist School, ready to build your legal and marketing foundation with Business of Style, or looking for high-level community and up-to-date industry guides in our membership, Stylist Society, there is a place for you here. I'm obsessed with helping you get there bigger and faster than I did, because your art is worthy of massive compensation!

    78: Decoding The Drop Point: Why You Negotiate Against Yourself (and How to Stop)
    Sep 22 2026
    I'm back - and I'm officially a married woman! Between wedding planning, I took a little break from the mic. Now I'm hitting record because I'm fired up about one moment that's quietly capping your income, your relationships, and your opportunities, and I can't wait to finally name it for you. In this solo episode, I introduce a concept I've been developing for months and I walk you through how it shows up when you quote a price, ask for a raise, or set a boundary, plus why it has nothing to do with your value, your confidence, or your sales skills. I also get real about why I think leaning on AI chatbots for instant validation is making it harder to hold your own when a real human doesn't respond the way you hoped, and what real confidence actually looks like. If this episode lit something up for you, enrollment is open for Success Prodigy, my four-month program built on four pillars: mindset, wealth consciousness, communication, and negotiation. You'll get live monthly trainings, live support on your real conversations and real numbers, workbooks, guides, and a community of people doing this work together.

What We Cover In This Episode: Why I've been away (hello, wedding planning!) and the one moment that's capping your income, relationships, and opportunities [1:14] The scenario that makes you negotiate against yourself that you absolutely need to be aware of [5:13] Why this isn't a value problem or a sales problem, it's a "moment problem," and how I define the drop point [7:07] Why the drop point happens internally, before you ever concede, and the reasons that highly successful, capable people still have one [10:10] The difference between knowing your value and holding it when someone doesn't validate you right away, and why I think over-relying on AI chatbots is weakening that skill [14:41] A $15,000 offer example that shows how we assign meaning to silence, and why you should never negotiate against information you don't have [15:40] The simple three-step tool for the next time you feel the urge to concede, plus the reminder that your discomfort is not an emergency [19:11] The exact questions to ask instead of assuming what someone's silence means, and how to make your next move on purpose instead of by reflex [20:43] How to find your own drop point by asking what happened immediately before you gave something away [25:16] Why the drop point isn't just a money problem and how getting what you want is a skill set, not luck [26:21] What real confidence looks like, and why "I know this will go my way" isn't it [35:54] Introducing Success Prodigy and how you can be a part of it for a special founding rate when it starts October 1st [42:21] Links & Resources: Enroll in Success Prodigy Now for a Special Founder's Rate (Starts October 1st) Special Moments From Codi and I's Wedding!
