Have you ever built something that looked successful on paper… but felt misaligned in your body? In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on a truth many high performers don’t want to admit: burnout isn’t always from doing too much — it’s from abandoning your genius. After building a “perfect” done-for-you agency, I realized something confronting. The model worked. The results were strong. The clients were happy. But I wasn’t. And when I found out I was pregnant, I knew — the business didn’t need more hustle. It needed realignment. This episode is a masterclass in sovereign leadership in the age of AI, scaling, and external metrics. We break down the SOUL Framework: Self-Awareness – Recognize when your model no longer matches your magic. Ownership – Take radical responsibility for shifting what drains you. Union – Reconnect your zone of genius to your delivery model. Leadership – Build from truth, not templates. If you’re a visionary founder, creative CEO, or high-performance entrepreneur who feels successful but secretly disconnected, this is your permission slip to redesign your business around your divine gifts. Because conscious business growth isn’t about copying what works.It’s about embodying what’s true. Your business model should match your magic.

If you’ve ever stared into the mirror chanting “I’m abundant”… while your nervous system is quietly spiraling about your bank account — this episode is for you. Because here’s the truth: most affirmations don’t work… not because manifestation is fake, but because your subconscious mind can smell misalignment from a mile away. In this powerful Crown Yourself transmission, Kimberly Spencer pulls back the curtain on why affirmations often reinforce the very blocks you’re trying to dissolve. When your conscious mind declares success, but your body is bracing for survival, the subconscious calls B.S. — and nothing shifts. This episode is a deep dive into the real alchemy of subconscious rewiring, sovereign leadership, and high-performance embodiment. You’ll learn how to stop using affirmations as bandaids for unprocessed fear, and instead anchor into affirmations that build emotional congruence, expand your capacity, and create conscious business growth rooted in truth. Inside, Kimberly shares personal stories from early entrepreneurship, postpartum anxiety, and the moment she realized she was affirming herself deeper into panic instead of power. If you’re ready to move beyond “good vibes only” and step into embodied manifestation, soulful strategy, and legacy-level leadership… This is your portal. Own your throne. Your reign is now.   Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform.

What if the reason you feel exhausted isn’t because you’re doing too much… but because you’re doing it with something to prove? In this powerful audio-only drop, we’re talking about proving energy—that invisible force that whispers, “Let me show them. Let me be enough. Let me win their approval.” And Queen… that energy is rooted in fear, not sovereignty. I share personal stories from my early entrepreneurial journey—being the only young woman in masculine business rooms, carrying the weight of needing to prove I belonged. And I’ve seen it time and time again with high-performing leaders and conscious entrepreneurs: when your business becomes a battlefield for validation, burnout isn’t far behind. This episode is your invitation to shift from ego-driven proving into true self-worth, the kind that makes you resilient, magnetic, and unshakable. We explore how self-worth isn’t built through performative success or “pick me” hustle… but through self-integrity, keeping commitments to yourself, and embodying the frequency of a woman who already owns her throne. If you’re ready for soulful leadership, conscious business growth, and a deeper manifestation rooted in sovereignty—not survival—this one is for you. Own your throne. Mind your business. Because your reign is now. Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform. You can also watch the episode on Youtube. Quotes: “Proving energy is rooted in fear… and anything rooted in fear can burn you out.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   “You don’t have to prove something if you deeply believe you are worthy.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   “Look yourself in the mirror and remember: you’re a queen.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   Moments of Note: 00:00 — Welcome Back + Audio-Only Episode for OG Listeners Setting the space for a special Crown Yourself drop 00:32 — What Is “Proving Energy”?

You didn’t come this far to whisper your wins. And yet—if you’re a conscious, high-achieving leader, you’ve probably downplayed your success more times than you can count. Not because you haven’t earned it… but because you were taught that visibility equals arrogance, and celebration equals ego. In this episode of the Crown Yourself Podcast, we dismantle that belief at the root. This is a conversation for the humble high performers, the sovereign leaders, the queens and kings who do extraordinary things behind the scenes—but freeze when it’s time to name them out loud. Because here’s the truth: if you don’t claim your success, you subconsciously train your audience to overlook it too. We explore why bragging isn’t ego—it’s evidence. Why skipping celebration blocks fulfillment at the nervous-system level. And why, in the age of AI and infinite content, your lived experience is your greatest leadership asset. Through personal storytelling—from marathon finishes to business exits—you’ll learn how to share your wins in a way that feels embodied, authentic, and deeply service-oriented. Not “look at me,” but “look at what’s possible.” And if this episode is resonating—if you feel the pull to stop minimizing your brilliance, own your results, and be seen as the guide you already are—this is exactly the work we do inside The Crown Yourself Collective. The Collective is a high-performance coaching community for sovereign leaders who are done playing small. It’s where visibility becomes embodied, celebration becomes culture, and courageous, soul-aligned action becomes your new normal. 👑 Learn more and join The Crown Yourself Collective here:https://www.crownyourself.com/the-collective Because not claiming your brilliance doesn’t make you noble.It makes you invisible. And sovereign leaders don’t hide their light.   Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform.

It’s evidence.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   “It’s not ‘look at me.’ It’s ‘look at what’s possible.’” ~ Kimberly Spencer   Moments of Note: 00:00 – Why High Achievers Downplay Their Biggest Wins The hidden cost of humility and why minimizing success trains others to overlook you. 02:15 – It Ain’t Bragging If It’s True: Reframing Visibility Why owning your success isn’t ego—it’s evidence and embodiment. 04:40 – How Not Claiming Your Wins Blocks Leadership Authority The perception gap that keeps powerful leaders unseen. 07:10 – Personal Story: Redefining Failure vs. Success A powerful reframe on business exits, perspective, and delayed self-recognition. 10:35 – Why Conscious Leaders Fear Sounding “Cringe” Online The emotional dissonance between service, humility, and visibility. 13:20 – Bragging vs. Ego: Evidence vs. Illusion The difference between ego-boosting and character-building success. 16:05 – Nervous System Integration: Why Celebration Matters How skipping celebration blocks fulfillment, manifestation, and momentum. 18:50 – How to Celebrate Wins Without Making It About You Creating win-win celebrations with family, teams, and partners. 22:30 – Visibility in the Age of AI: Why Lived Experience Wins Why discernment, not content volume, builds trust and authority. 25:15 – Sharing Wins as Service, Not Self-Promotion How your story gives others permission to rise. 28:10 – The Storytelling Formula for Owning Your Achievements What you went for, what changed, the result, and the lesson. 31:40 – From Accomplishment to Authority: Becoming the Guide Why leaders must be seen winning to lead others forward. 34:20 – Not Claiming Your Brilliance Blocks Your Legacy The real cost of staying quiet about your success. 37:10 – Why Repetition Builds Visibility and Trust Why saying it once isn’t enough—and consistency matters. 40:00 – The Crown Yourself Collective: A Home for Sovereign Leaders How high-achieving leaders stop shrinking and start owning their results. 43:30 – Final Message: Own Your Throne, Lead Loudly A call to sovereign leadership, embodied success, and visibility.   Transcript: For a full episode transcript, it can be found here.

Entrepreneurship is being glamorized like a crown everyone should wear—but what if that crown was never meant for you? In this audio-only Crown Yourself episode, we dismantle one of the most unspoken truths in conscious business: not every desire to be an entrepreneur is soul-led. Some are ego-driven. Some are borrowed dreams. And some are rooted in comparison, proximity to success, or the illusion of freedom. Drawing from real client conversations, lived experience, and sovereign leadership wisdom, this episode invites you into a radical inquiry:Is your entrepreneurial ambition coming from truth—or performance? We explore the difference between being a visionary, a freelancer, a creative genius, and a full-scale entrepreneur who carries responsibility, risk, and leadership at a cellular level. You’ll hear why wearing 27 hats isn’t always power—and why delegating up may be the most sovereign move you ever make. This episode isn’t here to shrink you. It’s here to liberate you from identities that were never yours. Because sovereignty isn’t about titles.Legacy isn’t about empire-building alone.And leadership doesn’t require sacrificing alignment for aesthetics. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re chasing success—or answering a soul call—this episode will meet you exactly where you are. 👑 Own your truth.👑 Mind your business.👑 Your reign is now. Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform. You can also watch the episode on Youtube. Quotes: “You don’t need to be a business owner to be sovereign. Sovereignty comes from self-truth, not titles.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   “Sometimes the most sovereign move is delegating up, not down.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   “Your zone of genius doesn’t always require you to be the CEO.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   Moments of Note: 00:00 – Welcome + Why This Is an Audio-Only Friday Episode Why these intimate, audio-only episodes exist—and how they’re designed for reflection, truth, and alignment. 01:30 – The Question That Changes Everything: Is Your Entrepreneurship Ego-Driven? Introducing the core inquiry that frames the entire episode and challenges hustle culture narratives. 03:15 – When Entrepreneurship Looks Sexy (But Isn’t Actually Aligned) A real client conversation that reveals how proximity to success can distort desire. 06:00 – Zone of Genius vs. Wearing 27 Hats in Business Why being extraordinary at your craft doesn’t mean you’re meant to run a company. 08:45 – The Myth of Freedom in Entrepreneurship Breaking down the illusion of freedom and the unseen responsibilities of full-time entrepreneurship. 11:30 – Entrepreneur, Freelancer, or Visionary? Knowing the Difference Understanding leadership roles, business identities, and why clarity here prevents burnout. 14:20 – Delegating Down vs. Delegating Up (And Why It Matters) Why some leaders should replace themselves as CEO to stay in their zone of genius. 17:00 – Risk, Sacrifice, and the Real Cost of Scaling a Business The realities of cash flow pressure, team responsibility, and leadership under stress. 20:10 – You Don’t Need a Business to Be Sovereign Redefining sovereignty, success, and legacy beyond entrepreneurship and visibility. 23:00 – Borrowed Dreams, Internet Pressure, and False Ambition Why chasing someone else’s dream can create misalignment, fear, and exhaustion. 26:10 – Is Your Desire Coming From Pain or From Truth? A powerful self-inquiry to distinguish ego, fear, and soul-led calling. 28:45 – Legacy Beyond Empire Building Exploring alternative ways to leave impact without scaling a massive company. 31:00 – Visibility, Judgment, and Leadership Capacity Why not everyone is meant for public leadership—and why that’s not a limitation. 34:00 – Choosing the Truth of Your Leadership Path How honesty with yourself becomes the ultimate act of sovereign leadership. 36:00 – Final Reflection + Invitation to Share Breakthroughs Closing wisdom, community connection, and the reminder to own your throne.

What if the reason your goals feel hard isn’t discipline, strategy, or effort—but the 95% of your mind you’re not consciously working with? In this powerful Crown Yourself episode, Kimberly Spencer pulls back the curtain on the subconscious mind—the true heavyweight behind your habits, income, health, relationships, and leadership identity. Most people set goals with only 5% of their mind… then wonder why success feels exhausting or short-lived. This episode is a deep initiation into sovereign leadership from the inside out. You’ll learn why your subconscious seeks safety over success, how emotional patterns formed before age seven quietly run your business and money decisions, and why manifestation responds to resonance—not hustle. Through personal stories, embodied metaphors, and neuroscience-meets-esoteric wisdom, Kimberly teaches you how to: Guard your mental and emotional “gates” Align your conscious goals with subconscious safety Stop self-sabotage rooted in familiarity Lead yourself with courage, compassion, and authority Reprogram success without burnout or force This isn’t mindset fluff. It’s subconscious mastery for high performers, visionaries, and conscious leaders who are done fighting themselves on the way to their next level. If you’re ready to stop betting against yourself—and start leading from your throne—this episode will change how you create results forever.   Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform.

What if the thing you’ve been shaming yourself for—procrastination, exhaustion, “laziness”—is actually your body’s last act of leadership? In this deeply personal and paradigm-shifting episode, I dismantle one of the most dangerous myths in high-performance culture: that burnout is a discipline problem. Drawing from NLP, nervous system regulation, and my own lived experience of building—and rebuilding—multiple six- and seven-figure businesses while becoming a mother of three, I reveal why overwhelm is not a mindset flaw, but a biological signal of overload. If you’re a visionary leader who starts the week inspired but crashes by Wednesday… if your to-do list feels impossible no matter how capable you are… this episode will change how you see yourself forever. We explore how subconscious success strategies, unrealistic expectations, and unexamined “shoulds” quietly lock your nervous system into freeze—killing momentum and joy. You’ll learn how sovereign leaders replace shame with strategy, build systems instead of self-sacrifice, and shift from hustle-based success into sustainable, burnout-proof growth. This is about simplifying without shrinking. Leading without self-abandonment. And reclaiming your power by listening to your body instead of overriding it. If you’re ready to stop forcing productivity and start leading from clarity, capacity, and conscious authority—this episode is your initiation.   Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform. You can also watch the episode on Youtube. Quotes: “What you’re calling laziness is often your nervous system’s last line of defense.” ~ Kimberly Spencer “Burnout isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a signal that your boundaries and systems need recalibration.” ~ Kimberly Spencer “Replace ‘I should’ with ‘I choose’ and watch your power return.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   Moments of Note: 00:00 – You’re Not Lazy—You’re Overloaded (The Burnout Reframe) What if procrastination isn’t a flaw—but your nervous system protecting you from burnout? 02:10 – Why Burnout Is a Nervous System Issue (Not a Mindset Problem) Understanding fight, flight, and freeze responses in high performers. 05:30 – The Hidden Cost of High Performance and Unrealistic Expectations How success-driven leaders overload themselves without realizing it. 09:15 – Personal Story: Motherhood, Business, and the Breaking Point Kimberly shares the behind-the-scenes moment that forced a leadership recalibration. 14:40 – Why You Can’t Push Your Way Out of Overwhelm Why hustle stops working at your next level—and what to do instead. 18:20 – NLP Insight: Procrastination as a Subconscious Success Strategy How your subconscious protects you when expectations exceed capacity. 23:10 – From Self-Blame to Sovereign Leadership The leadership shift that replaces shame with systems and strategy. 27:45 – Simplify Without Shrinking: The Power of One Focus Why simplification is essential for sustainable growth and burnout prevention. 32:30 – The “Six Priorities” System to Reduce Overwhelm A practical strategy to calm the nervous system and restore momentum. 37:40 – Manifestation, Capacity, and Nervous System Safety Why your nervous system must feel safe to receive expansion. 42:50 – Masculine Structure vs. Feminine Capacity in Leadership How to balance discipline and compassion without self-abandonment. 47:10 – Replace ‘I Should’ With ‘I Choose’ (Reclaiming Power) A powerful language shift that restores sovereignty and clarity. 50:30 – Pattern Interrupts for Shame, Guilt, and Overwhelm Using NLP tools to stop the burnout spiral in real time. 55:00 – Burnout Happens When Success Outpaces Support Why delegation and systems are non-negotiable at higher levels. 58:40 – Invitation: Build Burnout-Proof Success Inside The Collective How to receive support, accountability, and sovereign leadership training. 01:01:30 – Final Message: Own Your Throne.

What if your next $100K isn’t hiding in your marketing strategy… but in your identity? In this deeply transformational episode of The Crown Yourself Podcast, Kimberly reveals the five subconscious beliefs silently sabotaging high-achieving entrepreneurs. Through the story of a client who had already built a 250K business energetically — but wasn’t activating it — you’ll see how the belief “I have to work harder to earn more” can shrink your receiving capacity and block ease, expansion, and overflow. One shift created a 66.7% increase in revenue per client. Kimberly guides you through the deeper layers of wealth embodiment: the fear that success will cost you love or belonging, the imposter syndrome that shows up when you’re entering a bigger room, the caretaker programming that resists receiving, and the unconscious tendency to cling to familiar financial patterns — even if they no longer serve you. This episode is your invitation into a higher identity — one that holds wealth with safety, sovereignty, and energetic congruence. You’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system for abundance, shift emotional patterns around money, and upgrade the internal “systems” that allow external business systems to finally work. If you’re ready to transform from trying to activating, this episode will ignite your next level of conscious leadership and legacy building. Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform. You can also watch the episode on Youtube. Quotes: “Familiarity is your subconscious mind’s definition of safety, not success.” ~ Kimberly Spencer “If your belief system isn’t aligned with your next level, no strategy will stick.” ~ Kimberly Spencer “Imposter syndrome means you’re playing in a bigger room. It’s a sign of growth, not inadequacy.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   Moments of Note: 00:00 – The Identity Behind Your Income (Powerful Opening Insight) Kimberly challenges the belief that income is tied to effort and introduces the concept of identity-driven wealth. 01:10 – The Book That Started a Podcasting Revolution (Authority Positioning) Kimberly spotlights Make Every Podcast Want You, reinforcing her credibility and mission.   02:00 – Welcome to Crown Yourself: Conscious Leadership & Sovereign Success Setting the tone for the episode—mindset, sovereignty, subconscious transformation, and high-performance identity work.   03:32 – What’s Really Holding Back Your Next $100K? (Episode Overview) Introduction to the five subconscious beliefs capping your income and keeping you in patterns of overwork.   04:40 – Case Study: The Client With a Hidden 250K Business (Revelatory Moment) A powerful client example showing how identity—not strategy—was blocking her from activating the 250K business she already built.   06:05 – Hidden Belief #1: “I Have to Work Harder to Earn More” (Worthiness Wound) How tying self-worth to performance keeps entrepreneurs exhausted, undercharging, and avoiding systems that create scalability.   08:00 – The 66.7% Revenue Increase: What Happens When a Belief Shifts (Proof of Transformation) Kimberly reveals the exact revenue change that occurred once her client rewired her core belief.   09:50 – Hidden Belief #2: “More Money Will Change Me” (Fear of Rejection & Identity Loss) Exploring how money triggers fears of losing friendships, acceptance, or your sense of self—and why this belief sabotages visibility and pricing.   13:40 – Success Illuminates More Than Just Your Path (Projection & Relationships) Kimberly discusses how your success mirrors others’ insecurities—and why their reactions aren’t about you.   16:48 – Hidden Belief #3: “I’m Not Ready Yet” (Imposter Syndrome Reframed) Why imposter syndrome is actually a sign you’re entering a bigger room—and how modeling success accelerates growth.   20:30 – The Truth About Posturing vs. Authenticity (Energetics & Integrity) A story about a new coach posturing success — and how authenticity immediately shifted her momentum and trust.   23:55 – Hidden Belief #4: “If I Receive More, I’ll Have to Give More” (Caretaker Programming) Why high-achieving women fear abundance because it feels like added responsibility—and how to reclaim overflow without depletion.   27:10 – Wealth, Nervous System Safety & The Mother Metaphor (Embodied Expansion) Kimberly compares financial expansion to pregnancy—your body must feel safe stretching into the next level.   30:35 – Hidden Belief #5: “It’s Safer to Stay Where I Am” (Familiarity vs. Success) How the subconscious clings to what’s familiar—even scarcity—and how to expand your capacity to hold more.   33:50 – How to Normalize Bigger Amounts of Money (Emotional Calibration) Why holding wealth in your awareness without rushing to spend it is a critical step in identity evolution.   36:45 – Awareness Isn’t Enough: You Must Take the Aligned Action (Systems Work) The pivotal moment when Kimberly helped her client build systems—turning belief shifts into actual income.   39:00 – The Tactical Upgrades: Email Systems, Referral Systems & Follow-Up (Business Infrastructure) How building simple systems created quantum leaps in confidence, revenue, and scalability.   41:20 – Releasing the “Hard Work” Narrative for Good (Identity Integration) The energetic shift from “hard equals worthy” to “overflow equals impact.”   42:55 – Invitation to The Collective: Transform Your Beliefs Weekly (Signature CTA) Kimberly introduces The Collective and explains how weekly activations + monthly coaching help you rewire the beliefs keeping you from your next $100K.   44:40 – Final Words of Sovereignty: Own Your Throne (Closing Message) A powerful reminder to embody your next-level identity and create a life that rules.

You’ve journaled, visualized, affirmed, healed, and hyper-self-analyzed… yet your manifestation still hasn’t shifted. Queen, if you’ve ever wondered, “Why am I doing all the inner work but my reality won’t budge?” — this episode is your breakthrough. Inside this deeply personal and powerfully practical transmission, Kimberly pulls back the curtain on the missing link most high-performers overlook: identity-level embodiment. Not mindset tweaks. Not prettier affirmations. Not more healing loops. But the actual recoding of the subconscious rules shaping your behavior, your bank account, your relationships, and your environment. Through raw storytelling, real-life examples, and the physiology-driven strategies she used to rebuild her income, business, and self-worth, Kimberly reveals: ✨ Why affirmations fail when your identity says “Nope.”✨ How your posture, breath, and micro-actions rewire your nervous system for success.✨ The secret reason you repeat the same patterns — even after breakthroughs.✨ How to spot your unconscious beliefs by reading your environment like a manifestation mirror.✨ The embodiment practices (Pilates, yoga, qigong) that shift you faster than journaling ever will. This isn’t surface-level mindset work. This is sovereign-level self-mastery — the alchemical process of becoming the version of you who already holds the crown. If you’re ready to rise beyond awareness into embodied transformation… welcome to the next level of your reign.   Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform.

It’s the way your mind is set.” ~ Kimberly Spencer “You can’t out-affirm an identity that still believes it’s not safe to succeed.” ~ Kimberly Spencer “Your environment is a mirror of your subconscious programming.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   Moments of Note: 00:00 – Welcome to the Crown Yourself® Podcast Introduction to conscious leadership, sovereign identity work, and what this episode will help you transform. 01:00 – The Real Reason Your Manifestation Isn’t Working Why journaling, affirmations, and visualization fall flat when your identity is misaligned with your desired reality. 02:40 – The Jarring Divide Between Mindset and Embodiment Kimberly’s story of hitting a 13K month… followed by an unexpected collapse. What actually happened inside her nervous system and subconscious identity. 05:15 – How Subconscious Rules Override Your Conscious Mind What limiting beliefs really are: not thoughts, but the rules your mind is set by.  07:40 – The “Dirty Dishes” Metaphor for Subconscious Build-Up How unresolved identity patterns accumulate until they overflow into your external environment. 10:25 – Why Surface-Level Mindset Tools Don’t Create Real Change Journaling + affirmations = awareness, not transformation. What’s missing is identity recoding. 12:45 – Using Your Environment to Decode Hidden Beliefs Your results—bank account, relationships, habits—reveal your unconscious programming. 15:55 – Kimberly’s Story of Bulimia, Money Bulimia & Identity Shifts A transparent look at how identity expresses itself through health, relationships, and finances. 20:10 – How Identity Shapes (and Sabotages) Your Success Why you recreate the same outcomes—even after breakthroughs—unless you shift who you are being. 22:40 – Why Affirmations Don’t Work (and What Does) Embodiment vs. performing confidence. Wealthy people don’t affirm wealth… they are the identity. 25:30 – Embodiment: The Fastest Path to Identity Change Why transformation begins in your physiology. The power of posture, breath, Pilates, yoga, and qigong. 29:15 – How to Spot Limiting Beliefs Through Your Bank Account Money patterns are subconscious patterns. Learn how to read them and reframe them. 32:40 – The Three Roots of All Limiting Beliefs: Safety, Control, Acceptance How society normalizes struggle—and how to break free from collective programming. 35:00 – How to Interrupt Old Patterns With State Shifts Real-life parenting example: how Kimberly disrupted emotional loops through conscious state shifting. 38:20 – Behavior, Not Thoughts, Creates Identity Rewiring Why identity integrates only through repetition, embodiment, and micro-actions—not mental concepts. 41:55 – The Path to Becoming the Version of You Who Has It All Your breath, posture, and micro-actions anchor your new identity into your subconscious. 44:10 – Invitation to Join The Collective Building your empire from the inside out with mindset, systems, marketing, leadership, and generational wealth strategy. 46:00 – Final Sovereign Activation: Own Your Throne Encouragement to embody your sovereignty: Your reign is now.

Grief doesn’t just break you open—it breaks you open to truth. And in this transformative episode, Dr. Mark Matthews and I journey into the sacred territory where loss becomes a portal to identity, purpose, and sovereign leadership.   From losing both parents at nine years old to navigating a lifetime of introspection, Dr. Mark shares how grief became his greatest teacher—shaping his worldview, his leadership philosophy, and the deep sense of compassion that infuses every aspect of his coaching. Together, we explore how the “armor of avoidance” keeps us disconnected from our deepest desires and how embracing our emotional landscape leads to explosive growth in business, relationships, and self-worth.    We dive into: Why care is the antidote to overwhelm and the foundation of conscious leadership How expanding your capacity unlocks your next level of sovereignty What Maslow really meant about human development and fulfillment How grief reframes identity and becomes a catalyst for transformational joy The power of standards vs. expectations in relationships, parenting, and business Why world peace begins with the internal reconciliation of the self   This episode isn’t just a conversation—it's a remembrance of your innate power. A reclamation of your throne. A reminder that your most challenging seasons are often the very ones expanding your capacity to hold more love, more purpose, more prosperity, and more aliveness.   If you're walking through change, expansion, or rebirth—this one will meet you exactly where you are.   Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform.

This sets the foundation for the episode’s core message on identity and resilience. 06:05 — Avoidance Is the Real Enemy: The Cost of Not Feeling Your Feelings Why grief isn’t dangerous — avoidance is.

What if the universe didn’t just influence you… but actually built you with intention? In this transformational conversation with astrologer and analytic alchemist Mara Kaufman, we peel back the celestial curtain to reveal how your chart is a living map of your sovereignty, your soul lessons, and the leadership you’re here to embody. Kimberly opens with a powerful reflection on intuitive timing — those moments when you feel a cosmic nudge long before you understand why. That intuitive thread leads straight into Mara’s decades-long journey from skeptic to master astrologer. With a Virgo’s devotion to accuracy and Scorpio’s instinct for depth, Mara brings a grounded, esoteric approach to astrology that merges ancient wisdom with modern practicality. Together, they explore astrology not as a prediction tool, but as an empowerment practice — a way to know yourself so deeply that your decisions become aligned, intentional, and energetically calibrated. You’ll learn how your Moon reveals your emotional nourishment, how your Sun illuminates your life’s becoming, and how your North Node shows your evolutionary direction. Kimberly and Mara also dive into Pluto’s revolutionary transit, the “weather report” of Mercury retrograde, and why the next five years invite radical authenticity and sovereign self-leadership. If you’re ready to stop using astrology as an excuse — and start using it as an activation — this episode hands you the keys to your cosmic queendom.   Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform. You can also watch the episode on Youtube.

What if the community you thought was dead…was actually your greatest untapped gold mine? In this powerful episode, I sit down with community-building wizard Megan Huber, who shares the behind-the-scenes story of how she resurrected a completely dormant Facebook group and transformed it into a thriving, buyer-ready ecosystem — in just weeks. We explore the energetic and strategic alchemy that happens when you lead from identity rather than urgency, from sovereignty rather than scarcity. Megan reveals why relationships — not algorithms — are the true currency of high-performance entrepreneurship, and why your next level of growth isn't a strategy…it's a community rebirth. Together, we decode the psychology of modern buyers (hint: the #1 objection isn’t money — it’s time), how to build trust in a market that’s more discerning than ever, and why “hero offers” are the new front door for conscious business owners. Whether you're rebuilding a brand, reigniting an existing audience, or birthing something entirely new, this episode gives you the roadmap to awaken the community already aligned with your mission — even if they’ve been silent for years. This isn’t a marketing chat. This is a masterclass in sovereign leadership, relational wealth, intuitive business growth, and creating community that converts because it’s built on connection. Your community isn’t dead.It’s waiting to be activated.   Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform. You can also watch the episode on Youtube.

Ever found yourself waiting for “the right time” or the perfect plan — only to realize that clarity never comes? In this raw, real, and radically empowering solo episode, Kimberly Spencer invites you behind the mic (and the motherhood) to explore what it truly means to lead with sovereignty when life feels uncertain. Between nursing her daughter and healing from laryngitis, Kimberly doesn’t just talk about conscious leadership — she embodies it. This is a masterclass in manifestation through motion, where clarity is revealed not in the waiting, but in the doing. You’ll learn why: Clarity is a mirage (and how presence creates it). Confidence isn’t a prerequisite for leadership — it’s a byproduct of action. The world’s most successful leaders, from Amazon to conscious CEOs, make bold decisions with only 40–60% of the information. This episode is a divine reminder that faith in your process is the foundation of sovereign leadership. Whether you’re building a business, birthing a vision, or navigating your next evolution — this is your royal invitation to trust yourself, move forward, and reign through uncertainty. Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform. You can also watch the episode on Youtube. Quotes: “Clarity is a mirage — it doesn’t come from waiting, it’s created through movement.” ~ Kimberly Spencer “Sovereign leaders don’t wait for guarantees; they act with faith, not fear.” ~ Kimberly Spencer “You don’t build confidence by knowing what’s next; you build it by trusting you’ll figure it out.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   Moments of Note: 00:00 – Welcome to the Crown Yourself Podcast Kimberly introduces the episode while nursing her baby — a powerful reminder that sovereign leadership means showing up, even in chaos. She sets the tone for a conversation about leading with confidence in uncertainty and creating clarity through action 02:15 – The Illusion of Clarity and the Trap of “Perfect Timing” Kimberly dismantles the myth that clarity precedes action. She calls out how waiting for “the right time” or “perfect plan” keeps leaders stuck. The message: clarity is a mirage — it’s created through courageous movement 05:45 – How to Lead When the Future Feels Uncertain Drawing from her coaching experience, Kimberly shares how sovereign leaders navigate disruption, chaos, and the unknown by anchoring into trust — not external certainty. She explains why confidence is cultivated in uncertainty 09:30 – The Confidence Shift: Process Over Outcome Here, Kimberly explores the mindset reprogramming required to stop attaching confidence to results and start rooting it in your ability to figure things out. This segment emphasizes trusting the process and releasing the need for perfection 13:00 – Manifestation in Motion: Acting “As If” Through stories of her TEDx talk and book promotion, Kimberly demonstrates how she manifested success by acting before she felt ready. Listeners learn that manifestation happens through motion, not meticulous planning 17:45 – Motherhood, Chaos, and Sovereign Presence In a heartfelt reflection, Kimberly shares what running a business as a mother taught her about trusting herself amid uncertainty. She connects motherhood to leadership — both demand surrender, presence, and faith 21:10 – The Amazon Rule: Deciding with 60% of the Information Kimberly introduces a game-changing insight: Amazon’s leadership team makes decisions with only 40–60% of the data. She reframes this as a model for high-performance leadership — trusting your process even when the path isn’t clear 24:35 – Presence Is the Portal to Clarity She explains how being fully present is what allows true clarity to emerge — not overthinking, overplanning, or waiting. This is the essence of embodied feminine leadership and conscious creation 28:20 – The Power of Audacious Action Kimberly recalls saying “yes” to her TEDx talk with just three weeks’ notice. This story embodies faith-based leadership — moving with courage, not certainty. She invites listeners to act boldly, even without guarantees 33:10 – The Belief System of a Sovereign Leader In this closing reflection, Kimberly shares her core belief: “I always make the right decision — even when I make a mistake.” Mistakes are part of mastery, and sovereign leadership means trusting that every step is the right one 38:00 – The Collective: Building Bold Leadership Together Kimberly wraps with an invitation to join The Collective, her coaching community for leaders ready to act boldly and embody their next level of confidence and clarity Mentions + Additional Resources:  📖 Get Kimberly Spencer’s best-selling book “Make Every Podcast Want You” here: https://www.crownyourself.com/makeeverypodcastwantyou   Transcript: For a full episode transcript, you can find it here.

We’ve been taught that legacy means output: more books, more content, more doing. But as AI floods our feeds and machines outproduce us a thousandfold, we must redefine what it truly means to leave a mark. In this soul-stirring solo episode of The Crown Yourself Podcast, host Kimberly Spencer—master mindset coach, TEDx speaker, and founder of Crown Yourself—invites you into a higher conversation: What if your true legacy isn’t in what you produce, but in how boldly you dare? Kimberly unpacks the coming identity shift of the AI age, where productivity is no longer the pinnacle—presence is. Through stories of intuition, motherhood, and unapologetic audacity, she explores how to build a legacy infused with soul, not just systems. Because while AI can replicate your words, it can’t replicate your wisdom. Machines can outproduce you—but they can’t outdare you. This episode is your royal invitation to reclaim your power, redefine your work, and reign with conscious courage in a world obsessed with more. Your legacy isn’t output—it’s energy. It’s how you love, lead, and live audaciously awake. Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform. You can also watch the episode on Youtube. Quotes: “Machines can outproduce you—but they can’t outdare you.” ~ Kimberly Spencer “AI can replicate your words, but it can’t replicate your wisdom.” ~ Kimberly Spencer “You were not born to keep up with the algorithm. You were born to lead it.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   Moments of Note: 00:00 — The Future Is Here: AI and the New Era of Legacy Kimberly opens the episode with a powerful reframe: machines are already outproducing humans, but legacy isn’t about output—it’s about energy. 02:45 — Redefining Work, Worth, and Identity in the AI Age As a mother and leader, Kimberly explores how AI is forcing us to redefine how we see work, productivity, and legacy—and why the next decade will reshape human identity. 05:12 — Why Productivity Is the Old Paradigm We’ve glorified “busyness” for too long. Kimberly breaks down why the leaders of the next era won’t be the busiest—they’ll be the boldest. 08:40 — Machines Can Outproduce You, But They Can’t Outdare You Here’s the heart of the episode: AI can replicate what you do, but not who you are. Kimberly shares why audacity is the new currency of leadership. 11:30 — The Power of Human Connection in a Digital World AI can’t mirror the nuance, emotion, or friction that grows true relationships. Kimberly dives into how connection and vulnerability remain irreplaceable currencies of trust. 14:45 — Courage, Commitment, and Claiming Your Authentic Self From meeting her husband to manifesting her TEDx Talk, Kimberly shares stories that prove legacy is built through audacity and alignment, not perfection. 19:05 — The Audacity Advantage: Say Yes Before You’re Ready Kimberly recalls how saying “yes” to bold opportunities—before she felt ready—created quantum leaps in visibility and purpose. 22:18 — If You Fear AI, You’re Focused in the Wrong Direction Fear of AI is misplaced energy. Kimberly reframes it: instead of resisting technology, partner with it consciously to amplify your mission. 25:45 — From Output to Impact: What Legacy Really Means Your legacy isn’t what you produce—it’s the energetic imprint you leave on people’s hearts. Kimberly shares how to embody that truth daily. 29:30 — Visibility Is the New Wealth: Be Seen, Be Soulful If you want to be recommended—by humans and AI—you must be visible. Kimberly invites listeners to embrace soul-led visibility strategies that magnetize opportunity. 32:10 — Final Crown: You Can’t Automate Authenticity Kimberly closes with a powerful call: machines can mimic content, but they can’t replicate consciousness. Your soul’s legacy is your sovereign signature—irreplaceable, uncodeable, undeniable.   Mentions + Additional Resources: 📖 Get Kimberly Spencer’s best-selling book “Make Every Podcast Want You” here: https://www.crownyourself.com/makeeverypodcastwantyou Transcript: For a full episode transcript, you can find it here.

You’ve hit the milestones, scaled the mountains, and checked off the “success” boxes — but somewhere along the climb, your joy got lost in the altitude. In this soul-stirring episode of The Crown Yourself Podcast, Kimberly Spencer invites you to pause, breathe, and ask the question most high achievers avoid: “Am I actually happy?” Through personal stories, divine downloads, and transformational coaching insights, Kimberly unpacks what happens when success comes without sovereignty — and why that creates silent suffering, no matter how impressive your resume looks. You’ll learn how to spot misalignments in your business, relationships, and purpose… before the Universe throws a brick to get your attention. Kimberly shares how her own pivot from a “successful” but misaligned agency model to a purpose-driven coaching business reignited her joy — and how you can realign your empire with your true essence.

You came here to reign. 👑   Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform.

Imagine standing at the edge of a crashing wave. Your nervous system is screaming danger, but your higher self knows—on the other side is calm water. This episode is your invitation to dive through. I sit down with the radiant Hilary Russo—certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner, trauma specialist, and founder of the Hug It Out Method—to explore how leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries can befriend their amygdala, regulate stress, and create new neural pathways that serve sovereignty rather than sabotage.

What if the very thing you’ve been chasing—money, status, success—was keeping you trapped in busyness, not freedom?  In this episode of the Crown Yourself Podcast, I sit down with Lloyd J Ross, entrepreneur, investor, and author of Becoming Time Rich, to unravel the ultimate paradox of modern success: how to create true wealth without sacrificing your most precious resource—time. Lloyd shares his transformational journey from lawyer to investor, revealing how a single paradigm shift shattered the belief that more business means more busyness. Together, we explore the dance between money and time, why partnerships are the secret accelerant for growth, and how letting go of control might just be the key to multiplying both your income and your freedom. From personal stories of risk, resilience, and rebuilding after loss, to esoteric wisdom about alignment, sovereignty, and purpose, this conversation invites you into a new dimension of wealth creation. Whether you’re scaling a seven-figure empire or just beginning to dream beyond the 9-to-5, this episode will stretch your vision of what’s possible. Because wealth isn’t just what you bank—it’s who you become when you crown yourself as sovereign over your time.

What if the pain you’ve endured wasn’t meant to break you — but to make you?   In this deeply heartfelt episode of the Crown Yourself podcast, Kimberly Spencer sits down with Bonnie Strati — a former “hot mess” turned high-performing coach, author, and sovereign leader — to explore what it really means to build yourself back stronger after life knocks you down.   Bonnie’s new book, Built Stronger: The Art of Becoming Whole Again, is part memoir, part medicine, part permission slip to feel the grief, the rage, the disappointment — and still choose to rise. Together, Kimberly and Bonnie dive into how betrayal serves as a mirror for our own healing, why boundaries are sacred acts of self-love, and how we can stop numbing with busyness and start sitting with what needs to be felt.   This conversation is raw, real, and radically empowering. Whether you’re facing a personal initiation, navigating grief, or ready to rewrite your story, Bonnie’s wisdom will inspire you to embrace the mess, honor your emotions, and claim the next level of your queendom.   ✨ This episode is a reminder that the beauty is often found on the other side of messy — if you’re willing to walk through it.   👑 Queen, it’s time to step into your strength. Press play now and let this conversation catalyze your next chapter.

Imagine losing your job, your marriage, and your home — all at once. Most would see devastation, but author Whitney Joy saw an invitation.

What if the secret to scaling your empire isn’t hustling harder—but slacking smarter?   In this episode of the Crown Yourself podcast, Kimberly Spencer reveals the counterintuitive high-performance strategy that changed her life and her clients’: Strategic Slacking. From walking meditations to car rides that birth million-dollar ideas, this episode is your permission slip to stop doing and start receiving.   Kimberly shares a personal story about guiding a high-achieving client out of mental overload and into embodied vision. The solution? A radical reclamation of space—30 minutes a day to not do. This is not laziness. This is sovereign leadership in action. It’s activating the brain’s “default mode network” to connect with higher consciousness, esoteric wisdom, and innovative downloads that transform your business and life.   If you're juggling too many projects, caught in your inbox, or doom-scrolling your creativity away—this episode will shake your paradigm. Kimberly teaches you how to name your bottleneck, ask better questions, set transformational intentions, and allow wisdom to drop in—without forcing anything.   Strategic slacking isn’t passive. It’s a sacred act of leadership alchemy.   Tune in, and start leading like the queen you are—clear, courageous, and cosmically plugged in   Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform. You can also watch the episode on Youtube.   Moments of Note: What If Zoning Out Was the Secret to Scaling Up? Timestamp: 00:00 – 02:15 Kimberly Spencer: What if the key to scaling your business wasn't another Zoom meeting? What if it was just zoning out on a walk? In this episode of the Crown Yourself podcast, we are diving into just that—and how you can start strategically slacking to scale.   High Performers Need Strategic Space Timestamp: 02:16 – 04:30 Kimberly Spencer: As high performers, the last thing we want to be called is a slacker. We're doing all the things—building businesses, writing books, raising humans. But strategic slacking requires a shift in prioritization. It's about carving out intentional space in your day, even 30 minutes, to allow your brain to operate differently—to solve problems in non-linear, embodied ways.   What Is Strategic Slacking? Timestamp: 04:31 – 06:20 Kimberly Spencer: Strategic slacking is about more than just rest. It's intentional space creation to solve a specific challenge. Whether it’s in business or life, the goal is clarity through embodiment and presence.   How the Brain Solves Problems in Stillness Timestamp: 06:21 – 08:00 Activate the Default Mode Network Kimberly Spencer: Strategic slacking activates your default mode network—your brain's problem-solving powerhouse. Most people are too busy doing to give themselves the space to see the full picture. A true visionary must have space. You can’t see the forest—let alone the continent—if you're buried in the trees.   Case Study: A Client’s Clarity Breakthrough Timestamp: 08:01 – 10:10 Kimberly Spencer: One of my clients was juggling multiple projects and couldn’t find clarity. I challenged her to 30 minutes of slacking per day. At first—nothing. But after a few days? Clarity, downloads, vision. Her subconscious and body became open to new insights.   Strategic Slacking Meets Spiritual Science Timestamp: 10:11 – 12:45 Consciousness, Intuition, and Higher Wisdom Kimberly Spencer: You can’t solve problems from the same level of consciousness that created them. Strategic slacking helps you evolve that consciousness and channel higher awareness. Ask better questions. Tune in. Receive.   The 5-Step Strategic Slacking Method Timestamp: 12:46 – 15:40 Kimberly Spencer: Name the bottleneck. Ask what or how questions. (Avoid "why" spirals.) Set an intention to receive insight. Unplug and move your body. Capture the downloads instantly. This process leverages your unconscious mind for conscious business breakthroughs.   What Strategic Slacking Is Not Timestamp: 15:41 – 17:10 Kimberly Spencer: Doomscrolling is not strategic slacking. If you’re taking in recycled thoughts, you’re not tapping into Source. Get quiet. Go inward. Record what comes through you, not what’s fed to you.   Slacking in Motion: Movement as Medicine Timestamp: 17:11 – 19:30 Kimberly Spencer: Walking, running, biking—even driving—can spark vision. The body is the domain of the unconscious, and movement activates momentum. Even Sara Blakely uses driving to tap into her visionary space. If it moves you—use it.   From Hustle to Integration: Scaling Through Softness Timestamp: 19:31 – 22:30 Kimberly Spencer: Inside The Collective, we teach leaders how to grow through integration, not burnout. Strategic slacking isn’t lazy—it’s leadership alchemy. Your next million-dollar download won’t come from your inbox. It will come from stillness.   Final Message: Protect the Visionary Within Timestamp: 22:31 – End Kimberly Spencer: Your reign begins when you stop outsourcing answers and start listening to your intuition. Mind your business. Move your body. Receive the vision. And don’t forget—your next idea is already waiting to meet you in the space you haven’t made yet.   Transcript: For a full transcript of the episode, please visit this link: https://www.crownyourself.com/blog  Sharables: For sharable images, quotes, and other social media posts to add some royal sparkle to your socials (with proper tagging and credit, of course), they can be found here. ____________   📺  YOUTUBE TIPS PLAYLISTS:     The Crown Yourself Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZwctt-09Yk&list=PL2ClsckBxxujcpec_c4m-haGSeWZkfNmP    Becoming the Queen-B(usiness) of Yo’ Biz:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEircICw4o0&list=PL2ClsckBxxuhTAZNjo3wKa84gAgJAgpBB   Podcasting Queen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWLm9j9TSPE&list=PL2ClsckBxxuhIznCt03xcCIR-caCZBads    Conscious Leadership Queen:: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R35hokbpIJI&list=PL2ClsckBxxuhJqGJuF9kqCg-UfBwZzI_o  🙌🏼 MORE RESOURCES TO HELP YOU BUILD YOUR EMPIRE + CROWN YOURSELF  🙌🏼   Get booked on podcasts + turn guest podcasting into getting clients when you join then Communication Queens Agency: https://www.communicationqueens.com     Want to get Kimberly Spencer on your podcast?

You can have your crown and carry the baby too—just not while building your funnel. In this transformational episode of the Crown Yourself Podcast, Kimberly Spencer dismantles the myth that multitasking is the path to productivity—especially for moms, high achievers, and soul-led entrepreneurs. Drawing from her real-life experiences as a mother of three, founder of multiple companies, and high-performance coach, Kimberly shares how she turned the chaos of divided attention into an energetic ecosystem of aligned action through habit stacking. From power-pumping and podcast prep to whitening her teeth while strategizing launch funnels, Kimberly reveals how small, intentional actions stacked onto anchored habits can create coherence, not depletion. She breaks down the neurological and energetic differences between multitasking (a.k.a. the thief of presence) and habit stacking (the Queen’s path to amplification). This isn’t productivity hacks for hustle’s sake—it’s sacred strategy for sovereign women. You’ll learn how to honor your capacity, choose habits that support your reign, and build micro-rituals that amplify every area of life—from breastfeeding to business-building. If you’re ready to own your presence, make peace with your pace, and build your empire while still being present for bedtime stories—this episode is your royal decree to reign with more grace and power than ever before. Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform.

What if your most powerful coaching certification isn’t on a wall—but in your scars? In this soul-stirring episode of the Crown Yourself podcast, Kimberly Spencer pulls back the curtain on what it really means to lead from embodied sovereignty. Drawing on her own raw and radiant journey—from postpartum shifts to a full pivot in her agency—Kimberly unpacks the truth behind transformational leadership: it’s not about perfection, it’s about presence. She reveals how leaders are born not from accolades, but from alchemy—the kind that transmutes life’s toughest lessons into purpose-driven gold. You’ll hear Kimberly’s intimate story of letting go of 85% of her team, navigating a cashflow crisis, and choosing to speak from her scars (not her wounds) in service to others. If you’ve ever doubted your readiness or felt disqualified by your imperfections, this episode is your spiritual permission slip. Expect empowering metaphors (hello, lotus rising), sovereign truth-telling, and a high-frequency invitation to claim your seat at the table of conscious leadership. You’ll leave activated to share your story, refine your message, and rise with the energy of someone who’s been through the arena—and chose to lead anyway. 🔥 Ready to reign? Let’s rise.

You need embodiment.” ~ Kimberly Spencer "When you’re successful, don't just rely on your reps." ~ Kimberly Spencer   Moments of Note: How to Be the Coach, Mentor, and Leader You Needed as a Kid Primary Keyword: Embodied Leadership   [00:00] Welcome to the Crown Yourself Podcast Kimberly Spencer: You don't need another certificate. You need embodiment. Welcome to the Crown Yourself podcast, where together we build your empire and transform your subconscious stories about what's possible for your business, body, and life...   [03:00] YouTube as a Catalyst for Embodied Leadership Kimberly Spencer: I'm giddy with excitement first and foremost, because The Crown Yourself podcast is now officially on YouTube... So for today, we are going to be talking about this moment of stepping up into being the coach, the mentor, the leader you know you're meant to be...   [06:00] Feminine Leadership and Legacy: Leading for the Next Generation Kimberly Spencer: Having my daughter, I am seeing so much of how I want her to see women and what I want her to see as a coach, as a mentor, as a leader... And that takes courage and it takes courage to do things before you're ready...   [09:00] Embodied Leadership: Turning Life Into Leadership Kimberly Spencer: Real leaders actually come from a place of embodiment... And it comes from a place of acknowledging, okay, I am not where I want to be yet, but that doesn't disqualify the heaps of experience, the heaps of trainings and certifications and life that I have lived...   [12:30] Speak from Scars, Not Wounds: Why Integration Matters Kimberly Spencer: Claim your story as your curriculum. Speak from your scars, not your wounds... Sharing from a healed perspective—rather than an emotionally charged one—empowers your clients.   [16:00] Behind the Pivot: My Cashflow Scar and the Birth of a New Model Kimberly Spencer: I just got off of a podcast called Building Healthy Relationships Before Habits... and on that podcast I shared the cashflow transition and the complete pivot that we had in our guest podcasting agency, Communication Queens...   [19:00] Financial Empowerment: Why Women Must Talk About Profit and Cashflow Kimberly Spencer: Once you start hitting certain revenue markers, the next thing that you actually need to focus on is profit and cash flow...

And this comes with coaching, with mentorship, with leadership... Whether it's asking ChatGPT or practicing with friends, getting in your reps refines your presence.   [29:00] TEDx and the Power of Repetition in Speaking Kimberly Spencer: When I did my TEDx talk, I had three weeks to prepare... I also had done, up to that point, 105 podcast interviews to get in my reps to communicate that specific message...   [32:00] Don’t Let “Good Enough” Steal Your Energy or Presence Kimberly Spencer: On the other side, for those established speakers and leaders... if you stop showing presence and full energy into what you do, they’re going to say something changed...   [34:00] Gym Wisdom: Why Performance Without Energy Fails Kimberly Spencer: You see those people at the gym doing the same routine every day, no growth. That’s what happens when you just “do the reps” without energy. It’s not about just showing up—it’s how you show up.   [37:00] Final Invitation: Claim Your Voice, Claim Your Throne Kimberly Spencer: If you want to take this conversation to the next level... then jump into our membership, the collective...

What if the fire that nearly destroyed your body was the very thing that awakened your soul? In this deeply moving and powerfully mystical episode, Kimberly sits down with Kristin Dwan—a certified hypnotherapist, Reiki Master Teacher, and ancestral healing witch—whose transformation began the day she literally died and came back to life. Burned over 30% of her body, Kristin flatlined during surgery and returned with a spiritual mission encoded in her cells: to help others heal from the inside out. You’ll hear her epic Phoenix story of pain transmuted into purpose, how Spirit intervened in the burn ward, and how she rebuilt her life—spiritually, emotionally, and financially—through alchemical tools like hypnotherapy, moon rituals, and soul contracts.
