   Building The Void: An Empire & A Movement

   What does it look like to build not just a business, but an entire ecosystem — and do it alongside your husband, your partner in love and in work? Shaina Hartless is the visionary behind The Void, a multi-faceted creative space that's become a home for makers, dreamers, and community builders. In this episode, Shaina gets raw about the cost and the reward of refusing to play small — from the moments that almost broke her, to the bold moves that defined her, to what it really means to be fully alive in your purpose. This one leaves a mark. Her Origin Story Shaina shares the pivotal moment she realized she wasn't just building a business — she was building an entire ecosystem. What her life looked like before The Void existed, and the feeling she kept trying to name. The moment she knew she couldn't play small anymore — and what it cost her to finally stop. Building The Void How she began assembling a multi-layered creative universe without getting swallowed by the overwhelm. The behind-the-scenes realities of running a multi-business space that most people never see. Her "this might actually break me" moment — and the way she moved through it. Whether she always trusted her vision or had to grow into that confidence over time. Bold Business Moves The riskiest decision she's ever made in business — and whether it paid off. Where she's currently being called to level up, even when it feels deeply uncomfortable. What she's recently outgrown — people, habits, and mindsets that no longer fit. If everything disappeared tomorrow, what she'd rebuild first and exactly why. Community & Female Empowerment Why creating space for other women to shine became non-negotiable in her work. The biggest thing she believes is holding women back from showing up boldly. How she's set boundaries within her own community to protect her peace and protect the vision. A moment from her markets that made her think, "This is exactly why I do this." Balance, Burnout & Identity Where Shaina exists in all of it — business owner, mother, wife — and how she holds that complexity. What balance actually looks like for her right now. The honest version, not the Instagram one. Whether she's ever felt guilty for choosing her business, and how she navigates that guilt. Her real reset ritual when she's overwhelmed or running on empty. Identity & Power Who she's had to become to hold the life she's built — and what she had to release to get there. The version of herself she's currently stepping into. Something about her that surprises people when they learn it. Where in her life she's still learning to trust herself more. Spicy Mic-Drop Moments A truth about entrepreneurship that people genuinely don't want to hear. Times she's been underestimated — and exactly how she responded. What she is no longer available for in this season of her life. Her message to anyone sitting on a dream, waiting for permission to start. Shaina's 3 Ways to Live a Braver Life Stop asking for permission — from people, from timing, from fear. Build community with intention; the people around you shape your ceiling. Bet on yourself before the evidence is there. That's what faith actually looks like.
