Shownotes

In this first episode of Power Movers, Roy sits down with Ailsa — a creative entrepreneur, fitness instructor, and wellness advocate — to explore how she rebuilt her business from the edge of burnout using wellness practices, business operating systems, and AI tools.

This isn’t theory. It’s lived experience.

You’ll hear how Ailsa restructured her schedule, embraced the BOS model, simplified her marketing using AI, and prioritized breathwork and cold exposure to build both resilience and clarity.
