    081 | How to Turn Your Deepest Calling Into Your Most Prosperous Work with the Gene Keys Vocation Sphere

    You've been piecing it together - the calling, the business model, the income strategy. Trying to figure out how to make this thing you KNOW you're meant to do actually sustainable. And maybe you've noticed something: every time you try to follow someone else's blueprint, it feels... off. Like you're forcing yourself into a template that wasn't made for your body, your energy, your way of being. What if there's a reason for that? What if you're not meant to prosper the way they do? Your Gene Keys Pearl Sequence shows you exactly how YOU are uniquely designed to create prosperity. Not some cookie-cutter business model. YOUR design. And the part that can turn everything around for you is.. your deepest wound - the thing you've been trying to "fix" ab yourself is actually your most creative calling. It's not something to overcome before you can do your work. It IS the work, babe! Over the next four episodes, we're diving into the Pearl Sequence. Today we're starting with your Vocation Sphere - where your wound transforms into your calling - and the six different ways people are designed to prosper. Because when you try to force yourself into a different model, that's when business feels impossible. What we're covering: The difference between prosperity and wealth (and why one complicates your life while the other simplifies it) How your Core Wound becomes your Vocation (and why you don't have to "heal" it first) The 6 Line Expressions of the Vocation Sphere The Holy Grail Question that changes how you approach your entire business Why taking initiative is about making fire, not waiting until you're ready This is Part 1 of a 4-part series on the Pearl Sequence. If you've been searching for permission to stop copying someone else's strategy and start building something that actually honors YOUR design - this is it.   📣 Become a Woman Behind It All Insider Get first access to new offerings, behind-the-scenes updates, and the content that doesn't make it to the podcast.

    080 | The Unconscious Pattern Behind Relationship Exhaustion (Reverse Polarity Explained)

    My girl, I know you're the one planning, directing, initiating, controlling. While your partner tends to float, waiting to be told what to do, avoiding the deeper stuff. And that twist in your chest - part resentment, part exhaustion, part confusion.. is your nervous system screaming that something is off. When what you actually want is a partner who sees what needs to be done and just does it. Who initiates the hard conversations. The freedom to drop into your body and your flow without worrying everything will fall apart if you're not managing it all. You want to feel held, seen, heard and to rest without guilt. That gap between what you're experiencing and what you're craving? That's reverse polarity. The energetic roles in your relationship have flipped. You're locked in hyper-masculine mode while your partner operates in passive feminine energy. Neither of you chose this consciously, but this pattern is bleeding into your work, your body, your capacity to build anything sustainable. I learned about this from John Wineland, and it explained everythingggg. It's about seeing what's actually happening- not blame, so you can interrupt the pattern and create the partnership you're craving. What we're covering: What reverse polarity actually is (and why it's making you sick) The hyper-masculine trap: why you can't rest even when you're exhausted How your nervous systems communicate beneath your words What to actually do: awareness, nervous system devotion, boundaries that create safety Your resentment toward your partner? It might actually be toward yourself for not speaking up sooner. Your body is registering this as unsafe. And that ripples into everything. This conversation is tender but necessary.

    079 | How Attachment Styles Shows Up in Your Business As A Women Entrepreneur (And Why It Matters)

    You know that moment right before you send the invoice where you suddenly feel like you should lower the price? Or when you're about to post something vulnerable and your thumb hovers over the delete button instead? That's your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do when you were a kiddo. Your childhood survival strategies are running your business decisions right now based on the way you related to your caregivers back then is showing up as undercharging, hiding from visibility, and spiraling on decisions that should feel straightforward. In this episode, we're digging into attachment theory research and the data! And the good news? 80-90% of us can shift these patterns. Your nervous system, and ofc, mindset, beliefs, and patterns are adaptable!! What we're covering: Why anxious attachment makes you undercharge (and how it shows up as constant over-giving) The avoidant pattern: "I don't need help" leading straight to burnout Compulsive caregiving: giving everything away because your worth = your usefulness How gender conditioning compounds all of this (the data is wild) Nervous system regulation tools you can use before your next big decision Strategy only works when your nervous system feels safe. And awareness is the first step, so let's start there.   📣 Become A Woman Behind It All Insider  Get first access to new offerings, behind-the-scenes updates, and the content that doesn't make it to the podcast.   Love this episode?!

    078 | How To Set Boundaries In Business Without Feeling Like An A-Hole

    Be honest: When was the last time you set a boundary and didn't immediately start explaining, justifying, or softening it? That churning in your stomach when you say yes but mean no? The fake smile while you're internally screaming "what am I doing?" Yeah, we need to talk about that. The truth bomb dropping today: Every time you sacrifice yourself to keep someone else comfortable, you think you're being kind. But really? You're leaking precious life force energy and training people not to trust you. Because energetically, they can feel when you're not standing in your truth. Boundaries aren't the walls we build to keep people out. They're the foundation we stand on so we can show up powerfully - in our businesses, our relationships, our mission work, our motherhood. All of it. What we're covering: Why "being accommodating" is actually manipulation (tough love incoming) The spiritual cost of self-abandonment and porous boundaries How Brené Brown's research proves clear boundaries create MORE success The practice: How to state boundaries without over-explaining or feeling like an a-hole This is Part 2 of my boundaries series, expanding beyond romantic relationships into the full ecosystem of being the woman behind it all. The bottom line: Boundaries are gifts. You're not responsible for other people's feelings. And fortune favors the brave. 📣 Become A Woman Behind It All Insider Get first access to new offerings, behind-the-scenes updates, and the content that doesn't make it to the podcast.

    077 | Instagram Detox Complete! Here's What Happened

    What happens when you stop doing what everyone says you're "supposed" to do and start testing what actually works for your energy, your family, and your business? I spent 8-10 hours a week on Instagram because that's what you do as an entrepreneur, right? Except my daughter kept asking "Mom, are you listening?" while my face was buried in my phone. So I deleted the app for 30 days to see what would happen. The results cracked me wide open in ways I didn't expect. My podcast downloads jumped 39% without Instagram promotion. I reclaimed a full work week worth of time. Aisy rated my presence improvement from a 6 to an 8.5 out of 10. But the biggest shift? The creative clarity that emerged when I stopped unconsciously falling into comparison spirals and started putting blinders up to focus on what actually matters. What we're covering: The real numbers: 39% podcast growth, 152% total growth since November!! How I used those extra 32-40 hours in the month I reclaimed Why my 70% increase in focus unlocked opportunities I never saw coming The difference between life-draining vs life-giving marketing channels and decisions My honest take on whether I'm re-downloading Instagram Craving Deeper Understanding?

    076 | What It Actually Takes To Build Sustainable Income & Impact As A Women Entrepreneur

    Most female entrepreneurs are building their businesses on quicksand. They have all the strategy, the funnels, the perfect email sequences - but when success comes, it all cracks. Because they never did the unsexy foundation work first. I've invested over $100K in business courses and coaches over the years. Some investments felt desperate and frantic. Others felt like a full-body hell yes. The difference? The seed of intention behind each decision. Today I'm breaking down why your relationship with yourself determines whether your business thrives or crumbles - and it has nothing to do with your marketing strategy. What we're covering: Why your conscious mind wants success but your subconscious keeps sabotaging The bullseye effect: how internal shakiness ripples into every area of life My friend's transformation from manic manifesting to trusting her body's wisdom The specific tools that align your conscious and subconscious beliefs How to move from fear-based decisions to value-based leadership Why community and hard conversations are non-negotiables for sustainable growth Love this episode?!

Hit subscribe so you never miss an episode. ✨   👉 Remember: You're going to fail more than you get it right. That's entrepreneurship. But when you fail from internal safety instead of fear, you fail forward with curiosity rather than collapse.   Be brave, not perfect, my babe! Xx, Kaija . . .
