Welcome to The World Builders with Jenni Gritters, a podcast about the revolutionary women and non-binary people building new worlds with their businesses and creative ventures. We’re living through a moment of profound transformation. Old systems are crumbling and new paradigms are emerging. And the most visionary creatives aren’t waiting for permission to reimagine where the world goes next. In each episode, you'll get to join deep conversations with builders who are centering their values, bravely making their vision for a better world a reality, and asking tough questions about how to make those ventures sustainable, too. These are conversations about what it takes to build something no one has seen before – and what becomes possible when you willingly step into your power. If you’re craving full creative expression; if you have big ideas about how we could really make the world a better place; and if you’re done with the status quo and obsessed with building something that matters: This podcast is for you.

    The fully human version of your brand is the only one with a future | Lois McKenzie

    This is the final episode of season 1 of The World Builders. Thank you SO MUCH for supporting this body of work. If you love it, please leave a review! Jenni will be back in a few weeks (late June 2026) with a new season of solo episodes focused on how to meet the current moment with intuition, imagination and steadiness -- especially if you're an intuitive, deeply feeling human being. In this episode, Jenni sits down with messaging strategist and creative writing coach Lois Mac for a conversation about what it actually takes to stop hiding and start building a body of work that feels true. They dig into the long game of finding your voice, the grief that comes with finally believing you're allowed to make money from your creativity, and why the most expressed version of you is the most powerful business strategy you have. If you've ever felt like marketing and creative expression were fundamentally at odds, Lois will absolutely change your mind. Things you'll learn about in this episode: Why deep feelers, visionaries, and artists struggle most with traditional marketingLois's journey from ghostwriter and agency copywriter to building her own voice and methodologyThe grief of finally believing creative work can be sustainableWhy motherhood often sharpens ambition and reduces BSThe difference between trying to be impressive and actually having something to sayWhy uncensored expression and strategic communication are two sides of the same coinThe two writing practices everyone needs: reflective and expressiveWhat AI is actually doing to the creative market (and why it's good news for those of us with a real point of view and relational approach)Why the "starving artist" identity is one of the most insidious things keeping creatives brokeLois's Sweet Talk methodology and how she helps people find their true message through personalized creative ritualsThe cultural shift happening right now and why this is genuinely the artist's era You can follow Lois @ Up Club, or on Instagram, or via her Substack.

    How to create the actual spaciousness you're craving (especially when your calendar is overly full)

    What's your World Building archetype, and what does it teach you about your way of moving in the world? Find out here. A transmission from Jenni about why so many high-achievers are drowning in a calendar they built themselves — and why simply "fixing the Tetris" will never actually work. She walks through the real reason we stay over-busy (it's not a time management problem), and the step-by-step process she used to go from coaching 22 one-to-one clients to a model that gives her more spaciousness, better client results, and a calendar she actually loves. If you've been craving ease but keep filling your schedule back up the moment things slow down, this one will hit close to home.

    The sneakiest money grip: What carrying it all alone is costing you

    If you've ever felt like you're carrying the weight of your finances completely alone, this one's for you. In this solo episode, Jenni reads the second essay in her Substack money series — a raw, honest look at the pressure grip: what it is, why high achievers and eldest daughters know it so well, and how it quietly drives poor money decisions from a place of urgency and lack. You'll walk away with two practical tools to loosen pressure's hold and start making money decisions from creativity, joy, and expansion instead.

Learn how to make the kind of money that supports your evolution (even when you need to hide in a cave of becoming) in our next free masterclass, May 22nd, called The Current. In this episode, Jenni sits down with journalist, artist, and queer liberation advocate Mike DeSocio — a longtime coaching client and collaborator — to trace his journey from Eagle Scout and buttoned-up corporate journalist to living freely and fully in Milan, Italy. Mike opens up about the grief of leaving a six-year relationship, the cascade of structures he outgrew (monogamy, home ownership, a 9-to-5), and how choosing his desires over respectability unlocked a new level of creative and personal freedom. This conversation is a wild permission slip to question the scaffolding in your own life, chase queer joy unapologetically, and build a world where you are completely, magnetically yourself.

  7. The sacred, the nervous system and the next 7 years with Elisha Tichelle

    The sacred, the nervous system and the next 7 years with Elisha Tichelle

    In today's episode, Jenni sits down with threshold guide and somatic oracle Elisha Tichelle for a conversation that will crack your brain wide open, covering identity death, the trap of fixed personality, and why the most dangerous thing you can do right now is keep performing a version of yourself that was built from conditioning, not truth. Elisha brings together depth psychology, somatic science, quantum physics, and sacred animism to make the case that real power isn't about strategy or status — it's about getting enough voltage into your nervous system to actually hold the fullness of who you are. With Uranus moving into Gemini and a major paradigm shift already underway, this episode is both a warning and an invitation: the next seven years will separate the creators from the consumers, and your body is the most important tool you have.

    What it means when your revenue stalls | Jenni Gritters

    Love this conversation? You're invited into SEEN, the next World Builders' immersion, on May 4th: https://www.theworldbuilders.co/seen When your revenue stalls, it's not a sign that something is wrong — it's a protective signal that your identity is shifting and you need a fallow period to discover what's next. Jenni unpacks why conscious entrepreneurs unconsciously block money when they're in transition, and how grief, identity work, and sitting in the "void" are actually essential steps to unblocking it. The episode closes with a powerful reframe: your frequency and resonance (not your strategy) are what ultimately magnetize clients and move money, making now the time to get quiet, ask for what you need, and step into a more refined version of who you're becoming.
