The Price of Your Soul’s Work

from Empowered Way Podcast · host Kathryn Eriksen

Dear Empowered Wayers:Years ago, when I first started my coaching practice, I always hesitated to quote the price for my programs. I knew I was trained well, competent in coaching, and yet…saying the number out loud made me cringe.I have spoken to many other women entrepreneurs who feel the same way. I have attended workshops and seminars where the speaker admonishes you to “charge what you’re worth” and “know your value.” Those words, no matter how emphatically spoken, never resonated.It wasn’t until I began “looking under the hood” concerning why I felt so deeply about revealing the true nature of wealth, that I found my answer. I couldn’t help others discover the secrets of wealth until I embodied them myself.It’s a state of being I call Empowered Wealth Consciousness.The Sacred WoundThere’s a particular kind of pain that comes from doing work you love while struggling to survive. It’s not just financial stress—it’s a crisis of identity. You came into this work because you felt called. Your gifts aren’t just skills; they’re expressions of your soul’s purpose. The idea of “monetizing” them feels like the commoditization of something holy.This conflict runs deeper than personal money stories. For generations, women who carried spiritual wisdom—healers, midwives, wise women—were either unpaid or punished. We carry cellular memories of times when claiming our power or charging for our gifts was literally dangerous (remember the Witch Trials?)Add to this the conditioning that good women are selfless, that service requires sacrifice, that wanting abundance makes you somehow less evolved. The message is clear: you can be spiritual or you can be wealthy, but not both.This belief doesn’t just keep you struggling financially-it keeps you playing small. Because when you’re stressed about rent, exhausted from undercharging, and resentful about giving so much for so little, you cannot serve from your highest self.The wound isn’t about money. It’s about the belief that we must choose between our soul’s calling and our survival.My Journey to Empowered Wealth ConsciousnessSo what changed for me? What allowed me to move from that place of cringing when I said my prices to confidently embodying my worth?I discovered a truth so fundamental that it transformed everything:I am not separate from wealth. I am the wealth.It wasn’t about the money in my bank account, my possessions or my business metrics.Wealth = my consciousness (presence + state of being)When I understood this—really understood it in my body, not just my mind—everything shifted. I stopped asking “what should I charge?” and started asking “who am I being as I create this?”I stopped trying to earn my worth and started embodying it. I stopped chasing abundance and started magnetizing it through my aligned presence.This is what I now call Empowered Wealth Consciousness. And it’s what I want to share with you.Empowered Wealth Consciousness is RememberedWhat if I told you that the solution isn’t learning better business strategies or overcoming your “money blocks?” What if the answer is remembering a truth so fundamental that it changes everything?You are not separate from wealth. You ARE the wealth.This is the foundation of Empowered Wealth Consciousness—a seven-day audio journey I’ve created to guide you from scarcity to sovereignty, from depletion to divine alignment. As you read about the lessons, see if you can’t step back and see the steps on the journey.Day 1: Awakening to Empowered Wealth ConsciousnessYour journey begins with understanding what wealth consciousness actually means. Not positive thinking or forced gratitude, but a fundamental shift in how you see yourself in relation to abundance.Day 2: The Currency of ConsciousnessYour state of being as energetic frequency is your true currency, not your effort. You’ll explore how thoughts become things, how your inner world shapes your outer results, and why embodying worthiness matters more than any marketing strategy.Day 3: Feminine Power and the Divine Flow of WealthThis is where you reclaim what the world told you was weakness. Your intuition, your emotional intelligence, your cyclical nature, your need for meaning—these aren’t obstacles to success. They’re your superpowers in the Divine Economy. You’ll learn why traditional business formulas don’t work for you and what does.Day 4: Your Presence Is Your CurrencyThe most powerful lesson: you don’t have to do more to be worthy of abundance. Your presence—grounded, centered, aligned—is what magnetizes opportunities. People don’t just buy your services; they’re drawn to your energy. Learn to cultivate the kind of presence that transforms everything.Day 5: Gratitude as AlchemyTrue gratitude isn’t about being thankful when things go well. It’s the practice of transmuting any experience—even challenges—into spiritual gold. You’ll learn how to use gratitude not as a spiritual bypass, but as a genuine tool for transforming your relationship with money, clients, and your own worth.Day 6: The Sacred Flow of Giving and ReceivingThis lesson addresses the pattern that depletes so many generous women: giving far more than you receive. You’ll discover that giving and receiving aren’t opposites—they’re two expressions of the same divine flow. Learning to receive gracefully isn’t selfish; it’s essential to sustainable service.Day 7: Creating from Divine EssenceThe culmination of your journey brings it all together. You’ll step into your identity as a conscious creator who brings forth wealth not from fear or force, but from divine essence. You’ll learn to ask not “what should I do?” but “who am I being as I do this?” This is where transformation becomes permanent.The InvitationEach day includes a guided meditation designed to help you embody the teachings at a cellular level, plus reflections to anchor the insights into your daily life. You also receive a companion journal to support you on your journey.This isn’t just information—it’s transformation.The journey takes seven days, but the shifts can last a lifetime.If you’re tired of the internal conflict between your calling and your needs, if you’re ready to stop undercharging and start embodying your worth, if you want to serve from overflow rather than depletion—this journey is for you.Empowered Wealth Consciousness is available now on Insight Timer (as a Plus Member) and through my website at EmpoweredWay.com.Your gifts deserve to thrive in abundant soil. The world needs you rested, resourced, and radiant—not depleted, struggling, and secretly resentful.The Divine Economy has been waiting for you to remember: you are not chasing wealth. You are embodying it.To your prosperity,KathrynP. S. Ready to begin your journey?
