This week on the Regenerative Business Podcast, Sam takes you inside our second-ever listener Q&A — answering three rich, tender, and deeply practical questions submitted by fellow entrepreneurs walking the conscious business path.

First, we explore why so many intuitive, creative, and spiritually-led business owners avoid data… and how to help them embrace metrics without feeling controlled, restricted, or “corporatized.” Sam breaks down the emotional history behind data avoidance, the masculine–feminine balance that makes metrics supportive (not oppressive), and how to educate your audience so they feel empowered instead of defensive.

Next, we move into the nuances of building an equitable sliding scale — especially for therapists and service providers committed to serving communities impacted by systemic violence. Sam shares frameworks like the Green Bottle Method, ways to calculate sustainable pricing for in-person spaces, how to plan for vacancy, and how to create fairness without sacrificing your ability to make ends meet.

Finally, Sam answers a vulnerable question about the somatic panic that arises when raising prices — even when your mind knows you’re undercharging. We cover the psychology behind “price ceilings,” how to identify the hidden thoughts driving body-based resistance, small-step somatic expansion techniques, and creative practices for meeting your future self who already charges the higher rate with ease.

This episode is a blend of strategy, nervous system wisdom, and regenerative business principles — perfect for entrepreneurs craving grounded guidance that honors both intuition and data, both impact and sustainability.

If you've been craving a wealth ritual that’s simple, beautiful, grounded, and actually works — welcome.
In today’s episode, Sam brings you behind the scenes of her upcoming book, Radical Riches, and teaches one of her favorite chapters: how to make a Money Bowl.

A Money Bowl is a miniature altar to abundance — a layered spell that combines symbolism, psychology, intention, and energetic movement to invite more wealth, opportunity, and flow into your life. It’s delightful, tangible witchcraft for entrepreneurs who want their business to feel enchanted and prosperous.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to choose your base (rice, oats, beans, or salt — and why each matters)
• What kinds of money to include (and why money needs movement to stay alive)
• Herbs + spices that call in wealth using traditional magical correspondences
• Symbols of luck + attraction you probably already have at home
• How to write your intention so it actually works
• How to activate your bowl so the spell takes on its own momentum
• How to keep the energy flowing so your Money Bowl never stagnates

Sam also shares updates on her writing ritual (she’s already at 47,000 words!), the structure of the Radical Riches book, and how YOU can be part of it.

Make your Money Bowl this week, watch for synchronicities — anything from cash to gifts to surprise opportunities — and then email Sam your story. Your experience may be featured in the final book, anonymously or with your name.

If you're a witch, a creative, a magical entrepreneur, or simply someone who loves ceremony… you’re going to adore this ritual.

What if the difference between burnout and creative aliveness wasn’t motivation… but ritual?

In this solo episode, Sam Garcia shares the breakthrough that pulled her out of an 8-month writing drought and into two straight weeks of joyful, daily writing on her second book Radical Riches. This conversation takes you deep into the heart of ritual, identity, enchantment, and the tiny habits that rewire your creative life.

Sam explores:

• Why she avoided writing for 8 months (even though it’s what she most wants to do)
• How everyday rituals can re-enchant your work and bring your business back to life
• The neuroscience behind meaning, novelty, and motivation
• How habit stacking + positive state changes create effortless consistency
• The 15-minute “creative spark timer” that works like magic for neurodivergent brains
• Rituals that reduce anxiety, improve focus, and signal safety to the nervous system
• Why identity-based habits (“I am a writer”) are more powerful than goals
• Five simple rituals anyone can use to make their work feel sacred again

This episode blends science, spirituality, enchantment, and regenerative business principles to help you return to the work you love — not through pressure, but through devotion.

Whether you’re a coach, writer, artist, witchy entrepreneur, or someone longing to reconnect with your creativity, these rituals will bring your business back into alignment with your aliveness.

In this episode of Regenerative Business, Sam dives deep into the energetics of winter — that quiet, restorative season when nature stops producing and the real magic happens underground.

You’ll explore:

• The four energetic seasons of business — and how to tell which one you’re in right now
• The hidden wisdom of winter: rest, root work, and renewal
• How to spot the early signs of burnout (and what to do before it hits)
• Why slowing down is the most strategic thing you can do for long-term growth
• How to balance your internal energy with the external season — especially if you’re in a “summer” sprint while the world slows down

Drawing parallels between soil science, neuroscience, and entrepreneurship, Sam reminds us that winter isn’t the end — it’s integration.

If you’ve been craving permission to pause, or wondering why your creative spark feels dim lately, this episode will help you reconnect with the regenerative rhythm of your business — and trust that the next season of growth is already on its way.

Choosing between low-ticket and high-ticket offers can feel like a make-or-break decision in your business — but most of what you’ve heard online about pricing, scaling, and product suites is flat-out wrong.

In this episode, Sam Garcia breaks down five myths that keep entrepreneurs stuck in either/or thinking and offers a regenerative lens on how to grow your income without burning out your nervous system.

You’ll learn:

Why high-ticket pricing isn’t the only path to scaling (and how to design leverage instead of pressure)

The truth about “passive” income and what actually makes low-ticket offers sustainable

How pricing affects transformation — and why high prices don’t automatically equal deep results

Why you don’t have to pick one lane — and how low-ticket and high-ticket offers can beautifully cross-pollinate

How to choose pricing and structure based on your energy, not internet trends

Sam also shares practical math for new entrepreneurs (how to set your first income goal, calculate frugal expenses, and understand volume vs. depth), plus a nervous-system approach to scaling that prioritizes regeneration over depletion.

Whether you’re building your first offer or refining a full product suite, this episode will help you craft a business model that’s rooted, ethical, and designed for long-term ease and expansion.

You’ve seen it everywhere—the infamous marketing funnel.

Top, middle, bottom. Strangers → leads → sales.

But what happens after someone goes through the funnel?

For most businesses… nothing. They’re done with you, and you’re done with them.

In this episode, Sam Garcia—author of Regenerative Business and founder of Dirty Alchemy—calls out why the traditional funnel model is outdated, extractive, and fundamentally non-human. She explains how to reimagine your marketing as an Evergreen Ecosystem—a living, breathing network that nurtures real relationships and creates long-term loyalty.

You’ll also learn about the Buying Frenzy Strategy, a regenerative approach to increasing your revenue per sale without gross tactics or endless ad spend. Sam walks through:

• Why the “funnel” metaphor fails for conscious businesses
• How to turn your marketing ecosystem into an old-growth forest that keeps clients around for years
• What a buying frenzy actually is (and how it’s hiding in your grocery store checkout line)
• How small tweaks—like an order bump or cross-sell—can increase your average cart value by 17%+
• The 3-step process to diagnose what’s really going wrong when your launches or funnels “fail”
• A real client story of discovering a 9x return on ad spend—after almost shutting down their campaign

This episode is part business strategy, part nervous system wisdom, and part gentle kick in the ass to get you looking at your data with more clarity and less emotion.

And if you want to go deeper into how to design funnels that feel good to run, make money ethically, and regenerate both you and your audience, Sam’s hosting a live workshop on October 30th: “Buying Frenzy.”
