Mathilde Bernard Funderburk (MBF)

Soulpreneuher

Have you ever thought about starting a business, only to end up buried in content that feels…

Dry. Bland. Bro-ish.

You know the kind:

Hustle harder.

Don’t sleep.

Grind until you burn out.

Force things.

Ignore your gut.

Copy the billionaires.

Hack the algorithm.

Sell sell sell.

Be anyone but yourself.

If that’s what it takes to be an entrepreneur… we’ll pass.

Because starting a business—especially one that’s close to your heart—can already feel overwhelming.

And when the only guidance out there feels soulless, it’s easy to think maybe you’re not cut out for it.

But here’s what we’ve learned (the hard way):

You don’t have to shove yourself into a box to be successful.

You don’t have to erase your softness, your intuition, or your humanity.

You can build something aligned, profitable, and powerful—your way.

We believe that business is spiritual.

That entrepreneurship is one of the most accelerated paths to self-growth.

And that the world desperately needs more women building their own thing.

That’s why we created Soulpreneuher, a Patreon community for intuitive, heart-led women who want to start and grow their business with soul, strategy, and support.

This community is for you if:

• You’re a spiritual and intuitive woman with a business idea (or ten)

• You want to build an online presence without losing your soul

• You crave business advice made for women—not repackaged tech-bro nonsense

• You’re interested in the energetics and spiritual aspects of entrepreneurship

• You want to learn the practical tools to build your dream without breaking the bank

Every month, we (Kris and Mathilde) will be going live to teach, share what’s worked for us (and what definitely hasn’t), and hold office hours so you can get personalized support as you build.

And we’re so excited to build with you.

This isn’t just about business—it’s about reclaiming your path, your voice, your vision.

Welcome to Soulpreneuher.

Let’s make magic 🪄

✨ If there is a dream then there is life✨

Hi, I’m Mathilde! 👋 

A coach, mentor, and professional dream architect!

I am passionate about helping the ones "who don't know what's next" to listen to their hearts (and guts!) while building lives they truly love. 

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve had the joy of leading teams, managing projects (from wine events to live coaching webinars), and empowering people to find clarity and confidence to pursue their passions.

What lights me up? 

Seeing someone realize their potential and take bold steps toward their dreams. 

Whether I’m mentoring a team, coaching an individual, or organizing impactful events, my focus is always on connection, collaboration, and creating space for people to thrive.

I’ve worked with diverse teams across industries:

→ guiding them to streamline processes, 
→ spark innovation, 
→and achieve big goals. 

As a leader, I’m all about balance: structure with flexibility, strategy with heart, and ambition with kindness. 

👀 Oh, and I’ve learned a thing or two about making things happen while traveling the world and managing my own online business. Talk about multitasking! 🌍

What drives me is knowing that everyone has something unique to offer the world. 

I’m here to help people uncover what that is, trust themselves, and take the next step—whether it’s launching a project, building a business, or simply finding clarity in what comes next.

If you’re looking for someone who can mix strategic thinking with heart-centered guidance (and maybe with some french twist to it), let’s connect! 

Together, we can turn big dreams into real, actionable steps. 🌟

I’m a bit of a walking contradiction.

(Sorry, not sorry) 

I grew up in a spiritual household but I always worked in corporate roles that were incredibly pragmatic and driven by logic.

So here I am - an amalgamation of the spiritual and the practical.

I blend the stuff that makes sense with the ‘non-sensical’.

And it is because of this that my life - and my client's lives - have done a complete 360 in both their internal and external world.

You see, you can form a solid step-by-step action plan, but without spiritual direction and a laser-focused vision, you can still feel lost.

You can do manifestation, visualization, astrological readings, and tarot card readings, but without practical execution, you can still feel stuck on the HOW.

Now, combine the two together and you have a recipe for infinite possibility.

If you’re a spiritually curious, corporate escapee (or soon-to-be) and you want to explore how to build a lifestyle business that promotes freedom in the truest sense…

The Spiritual Freedom Blueprint offers everything you need to thrive in your transition.

“Mathilde has a unique gift of taking her client's big ideas and visions and mapping them. By doing this she was able to create a strong foundation for the business. Her attention to detail and process is unparalleled. Whether starting a business or shifting gears or looking to add more intention to your existing business, do yourself a favor and hire Mathilde. It will save you time, money, and energy in the long run” - Melanie

There's nothing worse than starting a coaching business to realize your income doesn't match your impact.  

When you decided to become a coach, 4 desires mattered to you:  

🤸🏽1 - Having freedom and flexibility (your systems & strategies) 
❤️2 - Loving the work you’re doing (your niche + offer)

Valincia Bennett, Business Strategist

I spent 10 years in corporate leadership constantly trying to prove my worth. Then I realized...

No amount of proving will ever feel like enough if you don’t believe it yourself. 😐

Let me save you the next decade:

You don’t need to
• Overachieve to earn your spot
• Stay quiet to keep the peace
• Say yes to everything to be seen as valuable

The truth?
• Some people will never see your worth
• Some will take credit for it
• Some will resent you for even having it

But here’s what matters:

Your value isn't in your title
It’s not in how late you stay
And it’s definitely not in how much you sacrifice

You are already worthy
You are already capable
You are already enough

That constant striving?
It’s exhausting
And it’s optional

Prove it to yourself once
Then let your work speak, not your worry

You're not behind
You're just done playing small

P.S. What’s one thing you stopped doing once you realized your worth? I'll go first.

Consistent $10K+ months is simply achievable💸| Business Coach for Coaches | 👑 Empowering coaches in business for 1-5 years to simplify their systems & strategies so it's easy to achieve consistent $10K+ months.

My free workshop is happening today

It will help you fix your broken offer

Too many great coaches struggle to sell their services

They blame pricing or visibility or even the algorithm

But the real problem is their offer

If people are not buying your offer
It's because it's not clear enough or strong enough

Today I'm hosting a free live training for coaches

You will learn how to package and position your offer so it converts

Here is what I will walk you through: 

• How to fix an offer that is not selling
• The one offer structure that leads to consistent yeses
• Why some clients ghost you and how to stop it
• The pricing and messaging shifts that increase conversions fast
• What every offer must include to attract the right clients

I use this system with my private clients every week
Now you can learn it too

The live training starts today at 11AM CST/12 PM EST
Join the event here: https://lnkd.in/gXEpzsYB

P.S. Do you feel confident that your offer is strong enough to sell right now?

He never thought $10k+ months were possible 

Until we made these 2 changes: 

In just 30 days, my client hit his first $10k month.

Here's how: 

1. We refined his niche. 

We reviewed past and present clients. 
Who did he love working with most? 
What aligned with his expertise?

He had a healthcare background. 
Many of his clients were clinicians.

So he stopped being a general parenting coach. 
And became 𝘵𝘩𝘦 parenting coach for clinicians.

Now he could easily speak their language.  
Plus he had a strong network to start with.

2. We upgraded his offer. 

His pricing didn’t support his income goals. 
We increased the price because we added real value. 
We extended the program for stronger results.

Then I had him reach out to his network.
Two weeks later, he had $10k collected.

His words: 

“Valincia gave me a framework that made my offerings scalable. I was uncomfortable with the idea at first, but after implementing it, I sold my signature offering four times. ”

Want similar results? 

This Tuesday, I ran a workshop sharing exactly how to create an irresistible coaching offer that converts. The replay will be available until Sunday at 5:00pm CT/6:00pm ET. Comment "REPLAY" and I'll share it with you. 

P.S. Have you considered making a change in your business lately?

What my MBA taught me about running a business:

- Speak in acronyms that sound important
- Conduct market segmentation analyses
- Build multi-year strategic plans
- Use Porter’s Five Forces, SWOT, PESTLE (all at once)
- Optimize operational leverage

Everything felt complex and honestly, kind of impressive.

But when I actually started my business?

None of that mattered unless I could keep it simple.

What running a business actually taught me:

- Speak clearly, not cleverly
- Solve one real problem really well
- People pay for outcomes, not frameworks
- Connection beats jargon
- Simplicity converts, complexity confuses

The truth?

I had to unlearn a lot to actually get clients.

To build trust.
To run lean.
To sell without sounding like a textbook.

The MBA gave me tools.
But simplicity made me money.

PS. What “complex” lesson did you have to unlearn?

PPS. I took this picture while waiting for an Uber at the airport, clearly deep in thought about how my MBA 𝘵𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 transformed my life… or just wondering if I forgot something valuable like my laptop or purse because I'm famous for doing that. 😂

She made $13,015 in 12 days.

Two days later, her 9-5 laid her off.

Before that moment, she already felt something was off.

The uncertainty was creating quiet anxiety every single week.

Not knowing what was coming made everything feel heavier.

She came to me because she wanted control, not reassurance.

Her coaching business had potential, but her efforts were scattered.

We narrowed her focus to activities that actually drive revenue.

No content posting.
No guessing what might work.

We positioned her LinkedIn profile for real conversations.

We started intentional outreach with a simple daily structure.

We ran sales calls with clarity and confident decision points.

Halfway through this month, she has already collected $13,015.

So when the layoff happened, she did not panic.

She knew exactly how to replace her income.

If you want confidence before uncertainty hits, send me a message.

P.S. Do you believe income control changes how you handle bad news, yes or no?
