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.

    How to queer every single area of your life — not just your sexuality | Mike DeSocio

    Love this conversation? 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.

If you're making money but it keeps slipping through your fingers, you're not broken -- but it is time to lean into accumulation mode. In this episode, Jenni breaks down the two phases of financial growth — stabilization and accumulation — and what it actually takes to move between them as a creative, cyclical human.

In this episode, Jenni covers: The difference between stabilization and accumulation — and how to know which phase you're inThe 5 money grips (shame, self-doubt, fear, hiding, and pressure) that block you from seeing your finances clearlyWhy creatives and neurodivergent founders tend to spend money the moment they make it — and the nervous system reason behind itWhat emotional regulation, long-term thinking, and identity work actually have to do with building wealthThe solopreneur-to-CEO shift and why it requires a completely different relationship with moneyHow to start building margin so your nervous system can finally rest Resources: Apply for The Council (July cohorts): https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-councilJoin our next live Clearing event (free): https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-clearingRegister for the Cyclical Wealth Blueprint masterclass: https://world-builders.kit.com/bb5eb97520Learn your World Building Archetype: https://worldbuilders.zite.so/

  3. 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.

This episode is proof that there's another way. Jenni pulls back the curtain on the World Builders ecosystem (a living, layered business model designed around collective leadership, right-sized capacity, and sustainable revenue) and walks you through every piece of it, from the free entry points all the way to the highest-touch containers.
