    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.

  • Why Affirmations are B.S. (and What to Do Instead)

    Why Affirmations are B.S. (and What to Do Instead)
    Feb 12 2026
    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. You can also watch the episode on Youtube.
