The World Builders
by Jenni Gritters
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 obses

Community Question: Why do the things that bring me joy make the least money?
A Council member's question—"Why do the things that bring me joy make me the least money?"—sparked a deep exploration of the beliefs and systems standing between creativity and profit. In this episode, Jenni unpacks two layers to this dilemma: the personal mindset patterns that shape what we believe is financially possible, and the outdated "old paradigm" tools we mistakenly apply to new, soul-driven ideas. She shares emerging archetypes for new paradigm profit—partnership, resource sharing, lowering the bar, and patronage—offering a fresh framework for building wealth without sacrificing joy.Resources:Listen to the recent WB episode about taking one of two pathsRead "Big Magic" by Elizabeth GilbertJoin the WB universe:Register for The Ache to re-pattern your wealth and money beliefs ($50 off with the code GRATITUDE through end of August 2026)Book a 1-1 Seer Session with Jenni to explore ways to build and earn with joy at the centerTake the World Builders' archetype quiz to consider how you might best move with moneyJoin the waitlist for the Earth Council, launching fall 2026

Changing the unchangeable | What to do when you feel backed against a wall
In this episode, Jenni shares a raw, personal look at how she and her husband confronted a financial and lifestyle setup that no longer served their family, walking through the exact framework she used to move from feeling stuck to actively redesigning her life. She breaks down a six-step process — from acknowledging what isn't working to naming your current season, questioning "unchangeable" conditions, mapping possible paths, grieving the losses, and finally stepping through the door — using her family's real decision to pull their kids from preschool as the throughline. It's an honest, vulnerable episode about choosing creation over pressure, honoring shifting desires, and having the courage to build a life that actually feels good.The 6 step framework:Notice what's not workingEvaluate the season you're inQuestion whether "unchangeable" conditions are actually changeablePaint a few possible paths and walk through them hypotheticallyGrieve and feelStep through the door with courageResources:Name/ define your own season via this Substack post from JenniBook a 1-1 session with Jenni in AugustRegister for the Water Council (doors close July 24th)

7 transitions I've gone through over the past 6 months (and a dose of hope)
In this candid episode of World Builders, host Jenni Gritters shares seven profound personal transitions she's navigated over the past six to eight months, from shifting her relationship with money and financial pressure to redefining business growth through relationships rather than solo hustle. She opens up about reclaiming her true identity, moving from stagnant sales to easeful invitations, and simplifying a complex business ecosystem into one focused path.Jenni closes with deeply personal reflections on healing her body image, embracing a flexible childcare setup, and offers listeners hope that staying on the bridge between who you were and who you're becoming is always worth the walk.The transitions:Money as pressure → Money as an invitation into creativity — Shifting from viewing financial scarcity as failure to seeing it as a sign to think outside the box and create something new.Expanding by her own effort → Expanding through relationships — Moving away from solo hustle and hiring a team/village (coaches, a community steward, an ecosystem architect) to grow World Builders collaboratively rather than efforting alone."Becoming her" → Realizing she's always been "becoming me" — Letting go of the idea of transforming into some new influencer-type persona and instead returning to a more authentic, childhood version of herself.Stagnant sales → Easeful invitations — Moving from feeling tense and unclear about selling programs to feeling open and aligned, especially with things like the Council programs she genuinely loves running.A complex ecosystem → A simple path — Pulling back from trying to launch her entire 10-year vision at once, and instead focusing on one piece at a time for more clarity and ease.Exercising to shrink/look a certain way → Moving her body to feel strong and stable — A shift from suffering-based fitness to restorative, strength-based movement (like lifting weights), which mirrored the embodiment she wanted in her business.Black-and-white thinking about childcare → A more flexible setup — Moving away from rigid full-time childcare back toward a hybrid schedule that blends work and family life, allowing more balance and alignment with what she actually wants.Resources:Explore The Council (registration for the Water Council closes Friday, July 24th)Read The Sustainable SolopreneurExplore The World Builders Collective

There are two paths ahead: The way of achievement, or the way of the village
Today we explore the tension between two societal paths: the familiar achievement-driven hustle culture and a more ancient, intuitive "village model" rooted in interdependence, surrender, and sacred action. Drawing from Jenni's own experience launching The Water Council this month, she shares how she's learning to trust her intuition, simplify her work, and lead from a place of rest and alignment rather than performance and scrambling.The episode is a call to listeners to remember their roots as feeling, relational beings — and to begin the slow, wobbly, worthwhile shift toward a more soul-centered way of living and working.Resources:Join the Water Council (July 27th start)Book a 1-1 Seer Session with JenniFollow Jenni's Substack for long-form lessons on world buildingPeek behind the scenes of this launch via Jenni's Instagram storiesDefine your world building archetypeNeed support?

You already have intuitive ability, now it's time to remember how to use it
Jenni explores the concept of remembering -- not as adding something new, but as piecing back together what has always been within us, particularly our innate intuitive abilities. She breaks down how intuition shows up through energy sensitivity, the four most common claires (clairaudience, clairvoyance, clairsentience, and claircognizance), and talks about dreamwork.The most important reframe here is that these aren't "woo" concepts; they're proven, practical human technologies. Jenni invites listeners to reclaim their inner knowing as a source of solid ground, especially in a world increasingly pulled between artificial intelligence and the ancient wisdom of human perception.Resources:Mary Magdalene Revealed (book)The Telepathy Tapes (podcast)The World Builders Water Council (begins July 27th, designed for highly perceptive and emotionally attuned people who want to develop their intuitive abilities together)Book a free call with Jenni about The Council

How to reach the people who need to hear your message
In this episode, Jenni Gritters explores why your message isn't reaching the right people — and how a simple shift in focus (not a messaging overhaul) can change everything. She shares a transmission from her guides about finding your "soul family," pruning the platforms that drain you, and letting your unedited voice travel freely to those already ready to receive it. The takeaway is a 60-90 day experiment: Show up in fewer places, go deeper in the right ones, and stop translating yourself for people who aren't ready yet.Resources:Tune into the last episode Jenni recorded about managing fearRead Jenni's Substack about how to tune your energy each morningLearn more about the Water Council, which begins July 27th: https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-council

Accepting your right timing & why it's time to rethink your fear
If you're listening to this today: You're being initiated. And the timing is exactly right, even when it feels blocky, squeezy, and uncomfortable. In this solo episode, Jenni Gritters shares a channeled transmission about why the compression you're feeling right now is not a sign to stop, but an invitation into a new chapter of your vocation. Your job now is to learn how to dance with fear instead of being swallowed by it, and why sunshine, breath, and other people are the antidotes that widen your view and let the light back in.Join Jenni for the next round of The Council: https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-councilDiscover your World Building archetype here: https://worldbuilders.zite.so/Read more about how to energetically tune the dial each morning: https://jennigritters.substack.com/p/tuning-the-dial-of-your-frequency

This episode is a must-listen for coaches, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are craving a more relational, soul-centered way to grow their businesses without sacrificing belonging or well-being.Resources:Learn more about The Council model in World BuildersLearn your World Building archetypeStay tuned for The Collective's grand opening mid-summer

If you've ever felt like you're carrying the weight of your finances completely alone, this one's for you.In this solo episode, Jenni reads the second essay in her Substack money series — a raw, honest look at the pressure grip: what it is, why high achievers and eldest daughters know it so well, and how it quietly drives poor money decisions from a place of urgency and lack.

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.The resources you'll want to read next from Elisha:Free Quiz: Embody Your Intuition https://elishatichelle.lpages.co/embody-your-intuition-quiz/1:1 Program: https://elishatichelle.lpages.co/embody-your-purpose/All the stuff: https://linktr.ee/elisha_halpinElisha's Substack take on the uranus in gemini shift: https://elishatichelle.substack.com/p/the-big-shift-uranus-moves-into-geminiIf you love this conversation, join us in The World Builders ecosystem:Start with The Dream to begin to access your intuition and imagination: https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-dreamJoin our next live Clearing gathering: https://www.theworldbuilders.co/the-clearing

Love this conversation? You're invited into SEEN, the next World Builders' immersion, on May 4th: https://www.theworldbuilders.co/seenWhen 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.How to join World Builders:Register for the next Clearing, our free live coaching sessionLearn about resonance marketing, and how visionaries are changing course in the current momentDip into The Ache, which is all about the grip you have in your body related to moneyInquire about 1-1 coaching with Jenni via The SpiralPut in an application for the next round of The Council

The case for artisan trades in an AI world | Briana Ottoboni
Love what you're hearing? Watch Jenni build a visionary, sustainable business ecosystem in real time here.Today's episode is with Briana Ottoboni. She's a strategist, creative, and builder working at the intersection of purpose, design, communications, and intention. With a background in marketing and consulting, she found her true calling in the world of artisan trades — defined as the rich middle ground between fine art and skilled trades — after a chance encounter with a shoe cobbler sparked an obsession she couldn't shake.She is the host of The Trades Show, a video and audio podcast where she interviews artisans in their own workshops, and the founder of The Corral, an AI-powered artisan job board connecting skilled craftspeople with employers and brands who are hiring them.In this episode, Jenni and Briana discuss why the artisan trades matter more than ever — and what we've lost culturally by devaluing hands-on, embodied work in favor of "knowledge work." Together they dig into how AI can actually free us up to create more beauty, why slowness is a pathway to presence and intuition, and how spending your money with artisans is one of the most powerful acts of world-building you can do right now.RESOURCES:Shop Class as Soulcraft by Matthew CrawfordFOLLOW BRIANA'S WORK:The Trades ShowThe CorralSubscribe to the Artisanship newsletterBriana's personal social media: Instagram, LinkedInCheck out the trailer for season two of The Trades Show: Watch on YouTubeWatch/Listen on SpotifyThe World Builders Council is now enrolling!
