Yes, And! is the business podcast for women entrepreneurs, coaches, and service-based business owners who are done building someone else's version of their business. Each episode goes into the places most business podcasts won't touch: the identity work underneath the revenue goals, the nervous system patterns quietly running your sales calls, the money fog keeping you stuck at the same number, and what it actually means to stop shrinking your vision and start trusting the one you had from the very beginning.
Hosted by Bunny Young. Nine companies. Six-hour work week. Four kids. Army wife. Founder of A Better Place Consulting. Literally walked through fire to prove you can have it all without doing it all.
New episodes weekly on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Hit follow and send this to one woman in your life who knows she's meant for more.

How to invest in your coaching business when you’re used to putting yourself last with Nikki Acosta
Description
This episode is a celebration of what can happen when a woman stops building her life around everyone else and finally starts choosing herself, and how this can have a pivotal impact on her business growth.
Bunny brings Nikki Acosta, a licensed marriage and family therapist, relationship expert, and transformation coach, into the studio to talk about the woman she was when they first met, and the woman she has become after a year inside DEFY.
This episode is all about the mindset shifts she experienced in her first year of DEFY. And, trust me, she has quite an interesting story.
Nikki already knew how to build a business. She had successfully run multiple businesses and had a thriving therapy practice. What she didn’t know was how to build the coaching business she actually wanted, or how to stop operating from the belief that she simply had to keep doing more for everyone else.
Inside DEFY, that started to change. Nikki began making herself a non-negotiable, creating a business around the freedom she wanted, showing up more visibly, and learning to trust her own answers instead of constantly looking outside herself for them.
