  • They’re Going to Judge You Anyway… So Speak Anyway
    2025/05/19

    My reel went viral.
    The trolls showed up.
    And I felt… peace.

    Not because I enjoyed the criticism.
    But because I finally understood: this is part of the assignment.

    We say we want to be seen — until we are.
    We pray to be heard — until we’re misunderstood.

    But the truth is:
    🔥You don’t get to be a channel for the Divine and stay palatable.
    You don’t get to lead a revolution with your voice and never be challenged.

    In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of what it felt like to go viral, to be criticized, to be insulted… and still stay rooted.

    Because I know the #1 fear my clients carry is:
    If I speak, they’ll judge me.”

    So I’m going first.
    I’m showing you what it looks like to keep showing up — even when they don’t clap. Even when they misunderstand you. Even when they try to tear you down.

    Let this episode be your reminder:

    You’re not here to please.
    You’re here to pierce.
    You’re here to provoke.
    You’re here to activate.

    And your voice is sacred, even when it shakes the room.

    🎧 Press play and feel your courage rise.

  • Visibility Currency: Why You Aren't Being Seen More
    2025/05/05

    In this raw and revealing episode, Kimberly shares a concept you’ve likely never heard — but will instantly recognize: Visibility Currency.

    Just like we can overspend money, many of us overspend visibility.
    You finally get seen — the viral reel, the keynote talk, the big podcast feature — and then?
    You disappear. You shrink. You burn out.
    Sound familiar?

    Kimberly breaks down the nervous system patterns behind why visibility can feel more threatening than exciting… and why building the capacity to hold more of it without crashing is key to more success.

    This episode is your reminder that speaking isn’t just a skill — it’s a capacity.
    And visibility is the currency that flows when you’re ready to rise.

    🔥 You’ll Learn:

    • What “visibility currency” is — and how it affects your nervous system
    • Why many entrepreneurs subconsciously sabotage their spotlight moments
    • The hidden reason you're “burning out” after speaking or showing up
    • A powerful reframe that will help you sustain momentum without shrinking back

  • The Other Easter Story: Mary Magdalene, the Red Egg & the Resurrected Voice
    2025/04/19

    You know the story of bunnies and baskets.
    But there’s another story — older, deeper, and far more powerful.

    In this special Easter episode, I take you into the hidden gospel of Mary Magdalene — the woman whose voice carried resurrection before the world believed it.

    According to early Christian tradition, she brought a red egg to Emperor Tiberius and declared:
    “Christ is risen.”

    That egg — bold, crimson, sacred — became a symbol of life breaking through death, and a woman’s voice speaking truth to power.

    But her voice was buried.
    Cut out of scripture.
    Silenced for centuries.

    And yet… her message lived on.
    And now, it’s rising.

    This is a story about Mary Magdalene.
    But it’s also a story about you.

    About the parts of you that have been silenced… and are ready to be heard.
    About the resurrection of your truth.
    About the voice you were born to reclaim.

    Because the tomb is empty.
    The egg is cracked.
    And your voice is sacred.

    Thank you for listening & Happy Easter 🥚

    Kimberly

  • You're Not Nervous to Speak- You're Growing: The Nervous System Work Behind Powerful Speaking
    2025/04/17

    You dream of giving a standing ovation-worthy talk, going live to a buzzing audience, or having someone approach you afterward with tears in their eyes saying, “I needed that.”


    But what no one talks about is this: Can your body actually hold that moment?

    In this episode, I share the real story behind a pivotal moment in my speaking journey—when I was asked to fill in for a keynote with only 10 minutes to prepare—and why I froze on the way to the stage. It wasn’t because I wasn’t ready. It was because my nervous system hadn’t expanded yet for the capacity of more.

    You’ll hear:
    ✨ Why nervous system capacity is the hidden key to speaking success
    ✨ The physical signs that you’re not collapsing—you’re growing
    ✨ How to stop making discomfort the enemy and start making it your edge
    ✨ What makes a truly powerful speaker (it’s not just the best talk!)

    The next level of your leadership, visibility, and voice isn’t about perfecting your script—it’s about learning how to hold the energetic weight of being seen, heard, and felt.

  • This Unexpected Strategy Helped Me Build My Speaking Career
    2025/04/06

    What if I told you the best way to land big opportunities on stages is by being a backup?

    In 2023, I was asked to fill in on a panel at the Women’s Empowerment Event. Hours before the event, the keynote speaker canceled. And guess who got the call? Me.

    I stepped up, delivered a powerful talk, and that ONE moment led to massive opportunities—Fortune 500 speaking gigs, high-ticket deals, and long-term partnerships.

    Here’s why saying YES last-minute works:
    ✅ Event organizers REMEMBER who showed up.
    ✅ You gain instant visibility and credibility.
    ✅ It positions you as the go-to expert in your industry.

    The truth is—your next big break might be someone else’s cancellation. Are you ready to step up?

    I hope you enjoy this episode!

  • Stop Using Your Money: How to Get a Sponsor
    2025/03/18

    💰 Your business and voice could be making money from sponsorships—right now.

    Most people think sponsorships are only for big brands, but that’s NOT true. Businesses are constantly looking for strategic partnerships—even with small entrepreneurs like you.

    The key? Make it about them. When I landed my first sponsor, I didn’t focus on why I “deserved” it. Instead, I made sure they saw why working with me was a win for their brand.

    ✨ Here’s how you can do it too:
    ✅ Pick a brand you genuinely love.
    ✅ Show them what they’ll get—visibility, email mentions, or event exposure.
    ✅ Offer different sponsorship tiers so they can choose the right fit.

    It’s that simple. Stop waiting for “the right time” to land a sponsor—the time is NOW. I break down the exact steps in this video.

    🎉 BTW my amazing sponsor is The Mantra Box!

    And if you are unclear on what you and your business should be up to this year, let me help. This guided, on-demand meditation, helped me focus on exactly the next steps to create momentum inside my business. Get it now👇

  • Breaking Free: The Truth About Self-Silencing & How to Reclaim Your Voice
    2025/02/25

    Have you ever felt like your voice was shut down before you even had the chance to speak? Maybe you've been told you’re "too much" or "too sensitive," or maybe you’ve learned to stay quiet just to keep the peace. But here’s the truth—self-silencing is more than just an emotional habit; it’s a serious health risk.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the science behind self-silencing, why it’s keeping you stuck, and how it’s affecting your body more than you realize. I’ll also give you simple but powerful ways to start speaking up—without fear, without guilt, and without losing yourself in the process.

    Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

    • The real impact of self-silencing on your mental and physical health (this will shock you!)
    • Why so many of us shrink our voices (and how to stop the cycle)
    • Small but mighty steps to start reclaiming your voice TODAY

    It’s time to take up space, to be heard, and to own your truth. Even if your voice shakes. Even if it feels messy. Because your voice was never meant to be quiet.
