I'm back, y'all and SO much has happened since the last time we talked. In this episode, I'm sharing the updated science of attraction and influence and breaking down the PIES method: the four pillars that change the way you show up in every area of your life.

PIES stands for Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Spiritual, and each pillar has four specific inputs that you can control. These aren't about looking a certain way or performing for other people. They're about building the kind of embodied confidence that people notice when you walk into a room.
In this episode, I'm diving into all 16 inputs across the four pillars, busting some myths from the self-help world that keep people stuck, and sharing the personal experiences (including finishing my PhD!) that sparked a renewed vision for this work.

Oh, and I'm officially Dr. Kimberly Beam Holmes now. 🎓

A year ago, I stopped.

I stopped doing one of the things I loved the most.

I stopped because I was overwhelmed.
I stopped because I was chronically burnt out.
I stopped because I started doubting my purpose.

It felt like a wise and mature decision at the time.
Maybe it was

But what I slowly began to realize was that I stopped doing the thing that, when it came to my work, was one of the most life-giving.

Now, it's back.

But better.

For ten years, I’ve loved talking about the PIES because it changed my life.
I was depressed. Stuck. Anxious. Overworked.
My marriage was in shambles.
I had no friends.
I felt lost.

The PIES method allowed me to focus on becoming my best physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually and focusing on what I could control.

Me.

And it changed my focus. It changed my energy. It changed me.

And over the past year, as I've finished my PhD (freaking finally!) I've realized that the PIES is even more powerful than I originally thought.

We're going to be talking about confidence, clarity, influence, and how what you do impacts the way you show up to those around you...

...and we're going to be doing it together with a new podcast, new title, and new content.

Same PIES.
Revamped.
Reimagined.
Redefined.

Can't wait to go along this journey with you.

Stay strong,
Dr. Kimberly
