    007: Sovereignty Is the Scale with Nicole Cherie Hesse

    This conversation is about sovereignty. Not the buzzword version. The embodied version. In this episode, I sit down with Nicole Cherie Hesse to talk about self-leadership, energetic alignment, scaling from identity, and what it actually takes to expand in a way that is sustainable. We explore what sovereignty feels like in the body, what breaks first when you are operating without it, and why scaling without self-leadership will always create collapse somewhere else. Nicole shares how she built a multi seven figure business from a place of inner knowing instead of permission. We talk about timelines, future self guidance, resistance, capacity expansion, and why some growth feels like climbing steps and some growth feels like climbing a rope. We also dive into in-person experiences and why they are not optional in the next era of leadership. AI can replace education. It cannot replace embodiment. And at the end of this episode, Nicole guides a live activation. Not to give you answers. But to return you to the only guidance that matters. You are the adult.You are the leader.No one is coming to save you. Energy first. Strategy second. ✨ Takeaways Sovereignty is an internal magnetism. It is self definition without outsourcing. When you are not in sovereignty, life eventually hits the breaking point of “I can’t do this anymore.” Permission dissolves when you stop looking for someone else to be the adult. Future self guidance speaks your exact language. That is why it moves faster than external mentorship. Resistance is not something to bypass. It is something to walk toward. Capacity expansion can feel like climbing steps or like climbing a rope. Some seasons allow pause. Some require movement. Leaders do not shrink the equation. They expand their capacity. Agitation is often truth arriving before readiness. In person experiences collapse timelines because you cannot hide. AI can replicate education. It cannot replicate energetic transmission. You do not need more information. You need self sovereignty. ✨ More about NicoleNicole Cherie Hesse is the founder of Wonder World Marketing, a top-rated podcast host, a Forbes featured self made millionaire who went from being a mouthy bartender to building a multi-seven figure international marketing empire in her first year.

    006: This or That

    In this episode, I unpack one of the most subtle but powerful games we are taught to play early in life: this or that. It starts innocently. Ice cream or cake. Snow or ocean. But over time, that binary thinking quietly shapes the way we approach the biggest decisions of our lives. Love or money. Business or family. Success or peace. Visibility or privacy. I share a personal story about a moment when a major business opportunity directly conflicted with a commitment I had already made to my daughter. What looked like a forced choice was actually an initiation. Not a test. Not a punishment. An invitation to prove to myself who I was when the stakes were real. This episode is about dissolving false binaries, releasing the pressure to choose, and learning how integration actually works. Not by force. Not by strategy. But by trust. February’s energy asks us to go beyond logic and stop collapsing parts of ourselves that were never meant to compete. You do not get both by trying to have both. You get both by becoming someone who will not abandon themselves for either. ✨ Takeaways Binary thinking is learned early and quietly shapes major life decisions Some questions assume separation where none exists Either or thinking is often logical but energetically untrue When there is a question mark in your field, expansion pauses Initiations often feel like pressure before they feel like reward You stop receiving ultimatums when you prove you will not abandon yourself Choice is not a one time decision. It is a present tense practice Compartmentalization helps you survive but can limit expansion Values are living and evolve as you do Integration does not come from force. It comes from curiosity Tug of war between parts of your life leads to exhaustion, not clarity Dropping the rope creates space for a new configuration February especially invites integration over decision making Replacing or with and changes both language and energy ✨ Explore Your AndIf this episode stirred something for you, if you can feel where you’ve been living inside a this or that, you don’t have to figure out how to integrate it on your own. In my 1-1 work, we look at where your life has been pulled into compartments, what’s actually active in your chart right now, and how the parts of you that feel like they’re competing can start working together instead. This isn’t about choosing one side or forcing a decision, it’s about finding the sweet spot where things meet and letting a new configuration emerge.

    005: You Can’t Outwork What You Won’t Feel: Well Resourced Leadership with Mandy Balak

    This episode is a conversation about leadership beyond the noise. Not louder leadership. Not faster leadership. Well resourced leadership. I’m joined by Mandy Balak, Experience Designer for Well-Resourced Leadership, president of The Gathering Festival, author of Chasing Enough, and the host of The Well Podcast. We talk about what it actually takes to lead with capacity instead of performance, and why you cannot outwork what you will not feel. Mandy breaks down her leadership equation, resources vs demands, and how to tell when you are spiraling into creativity or spiraling into reactivity. We talk about why a spa day does not fix chronic depletion, why leadership is clarity and questions more than it is answers, and what it means to become the CEO of your life internally, not just on paper. We also go deep on phones, distraction, and what happens when you finally unplug. Not as an escape from your life, but as part of the work. Presence is the advantage. ✨ Takeaways Leadership is clarity. When the world gets noisy, your job is to pause, realign, and communicate vision. The strongest leaders do not always talk the most. They ask better questions and create environments where others can thrive. Confidence and truth are different frequencies. Discernment is part of leadership. The opposite of overwhelm is capacity. Not calm. Capacity is the feeling of I have room. Your inner child will run your life until you become the CEO of your life. Enough is not a destination. It is a practice. Phones leak your energy. If you do not choose presence, the space will be filled. Unplugging is not a reward. It is part of the work. ✨ After This Episode Head back to episode 3 and listen with the layer of Mandy’s insight on who you are as a leader and what you choose to track https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/003-metrics-that-matter/id1869518579?i=1000746006193 ✨ More about Mandy Mandy Balak is an Experience Designer for Well-Resourced Leadership, the author of Chasing Enough, and the creator of The Well-Resourced Method™.

    004: February Energy Forecast: Beyond Logic

    Welcome to January 37th. Or January 42nd. However you’re counting. This episode is the February energy forecast and a reminder of why knowing the energy ahead of time changes everything. January was never meant to feel like a true beginning. It was a waiting room. A soft launch. And when you know that, you stop resisting it and start using it. In this episode, I break down what makes February different. A clean, contained 28-day cycle with no excess and no wiggle room. February moves fast and it rewards clarity, structure, and energetic precision. I talk about why this month is not about certainty but curiosity, why structure creates freedom, and how communication, intuition, and discernment become your greatest advantages. February asks you to go beyond logic. Not by abandoning your mind, but by learning to read what is unspoken, symbolic, and already communicating beneath the surface. This is a month for tracking intuition, noticing patterns, and learning your own energetic language so you stop outsourcing meaning and start trusting what you already know. ✨ Takeaways: January was not a false start. It was preparation. February is efficient, fast-moving, and demands clarity. Structure creates freedom this month. You cannot bypass it. Everyone runs on a unique weekly energetic cycle. Observing yours changes everything. The goal is not certainty. Curiosity is the way through. Logic is the doorway, not the destination. Intuition speaks in shortcuts, symbols, and sensations, not paragraphs. Being intuitive is not an advantage unless you listen, track, and stay curious. Signs and symbols are personal. Meaning emerges through repetition, not Google. Smart sabotage looks productive, clean, and impressive but drains your energy. Confidence and truth are not the same frequency. February rewards discernment between what sounds right and what is real. Depth beats breadth as the new year truly begins on February 17. ✨ Resources: Daily Energetic CalendarA day-by-day energetic forecast with empowered and disempowered expressions, questions to consider, and activations.

    003: Metrics That Matter

    Let’s talk about metrics. I know. The word alone can feel boring, corporate, or like someone asking you to track KPIs while your soul quietly exits the room. But here’s the truth. Metrics are one of the biggest energetic advantages you can have right now. In this episode, I reframe metrics as orientation, not judgment. Metrics are not here to tell you who you are, they tell you where you are. And in a year that requires clear leadership, knowing where you actually stand matters. Join me to hear why tracking the wrong metrics drains your energy, how vanity metrics quietly pull you out of alignment, and why the metrics that truly matter to you are part of your energetic advantage. This is about learning to track both numbers and energy without shame, without bypassing, and without outsourcing your definition of success. Metrics are not rules.They are mirrors. ✨ Takeaways Metrics are feedback, not judgment. They orient you to reality. If you are not tracking anything, that is energetic bypassing. The most powerful metrics include both quantitative and qualitative data. A metric that drains you is not an advantage, even if it is correct. Vanity metrics feed the ego but rarely change behavior. When you do not know your own metrics, you outsource your power. Tracking what matters to you collapses fantasy and reveals truth. Leadership requires honesty, not perfection. Metrics become supportive when you stop tying them to your worth. ✨ Your Next Step This 5-minute quiz reveals your Energetic Leadership Edge: your superpower, your sabotage pattern, and your next aligned move for the year ahead: http://www.jessicacerato.com/quiz

    002: Lessons from a Hot Air Balloon

    This episode takes you 3,000 feet into the air with me. Literally. What I thought would be a beautiful sunrise experience in Sedona turned into a live energetic masterclass on leadership, fear, trust, intuition, and timing. A hot air balloon ride became the clearest example I’ve ever witnessed of what it looks like to lead with energetic precision instead of certainty. In this episode, I share four core lessons I learned mid-air from our pilot, Mike. Lessons about misidentified fear, the intelligence of the body, the evolution of fire, and what it really means to lead when you do not know exactly where you are going to land. This is not a metaphor for business.This is leadership in the wild. ✨ Takeaways Most people think they’re afraid of the wrong thing Your body reads energy faster than your brain.  Tools support intuition. They should not replace it. Strategy without somatic awareness disconnects you from real-time truth. Fire does not always mean acceleration. Sometimes fire is what keeps you steady and brings you home. Your ambition evolves as you do. If the fire feels different, it may be maturing, not fading. You do not need certainty to lead well. You need trust, calibration, and a team that moves with you. Leadership is not about having the plan. It is about reading the wind and giving the next right instruction.  ✨ Your Next Step Discover the frequency you naturally lead from and how to use it to gain unstoppable momentum in 2026 by taking the (free) quiz here: http://www.jessicacerato.com/quiz

    001: Your Energetic Advantage is Here

    Welcome to the first episode of Energetic Advantage. In this episode, I’m starting at the very beginning, sharing where this work actually comes from, long before I had language for it. I’ve always seen patterns, felt timelines, and noticed what was happening beneath the surface. Not in a loud way. Just in a correct way. I walk through how my energetic advantage showed up in childhood, in finance, on cruise ships, in corporate leadership, and eventually in the work I do now. I share what an energetic advantage actually is, why every person has one, and why so many people stop using theirs without even realizing it. This episode is about recognizing the way your energy naturally moves and what changes when you stop fighting it and start leading with it. Energy first. Strategy second. ✨ Takeaways Your energetic advantage is the way your energy naturally perceives, moves, and impacts the world. Most people suppress their advantage to maintain connection or avoid standing out. You can consciously choose when to use your full advantage, and when connection matters more. Your energetic advantage is often the thing you overlook because it’s always been natural to you. Leadership is shifting. Identity and energetic precision matter more than strategy alone. ✨ Your Next Step Find out your Energetic Edge Archetype by taking the (free) quiz here: http://www.jessicacerato.com/quiz
