The weeks after the New Year live in a strange space.

We’re still closing chapters from the year that just ended, but we’re not fully anchored into the vision that’s beginning to form. And yet, we’re often expected to feel clear, focused, centered, and ready to go the moment the calendar turns.

In this episode, I’m talking about the in-between. The gap where you’re no longer who you were, but not yet fully rooted in who you’re becoming. This is often the space that comes right before an up-level. And it’s also the space where things can feel wobbly, confusing, and a little… leaky.

When we’re here, our foundations matter more than ever. Our routines. Our habits. The decisions we’re making. How we’re leading ourselves day-to-day.

This is a call back to center. Back to your roots. And also a recognition that the roots you need now aren’t the same ones that got you here.

I share a simple but powerful re-anchoring perspective (including a very real mom-after-winter-break metaphor) and why leadership hygiene is non-negotiable if you want to build something that lasts.

And if you want to go deeper, I’m sharing the personal practice I used during this season inside my free Substack this week, which I’ll link below, along with ways to work with me.

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal and professional update that’s been a long time coming.

I’ve built my business on Instagram for the last eight years. It’s been central to my growth, my visibility, and my work in the world. And for a long time now, it hasn’t felt right.

In this conversation, I speak candidly about what it’s been like to realize that something can still “work” and yet feel performative, forced, and empty. I share the moment that made it impossible for me to ignore the truth any longer, when trying to create a simple face-to-camera reel felt so off in my body that I couldn’t make it land no matter what I did.

This episode isn’t about algorithms, strategy, or what you should do instead. It’s about outgrowing a container, releasing an identity I no longer resonate with, and choosing to lead and create from a place that actually feels aligned with who I am now.

I also talk about:

• Why I’m stepping out of my “Instagram coach” era

• The difference between sharing wisdom and performing for attention

• Why I no longer desire to be on platforms that feel noisy and depleting

• What it means to stop fitting yourself into a box you’ve already outgrown

If you’ve been feeling the same quiet resistance, this episode is an invitation to trust it.

The final weeks of 2025 asked more of me than I expected.

They asked me to slow down.
To release control.
To stop forcing clarity before it was ready to arrive.

In this episode, I share the deeper lessons and tests I moved through as the year closed, especially around trusting my timeline, honoring what’s complete, and allowing space for what wants to be built next.

I also speak into what I see so clearly for 2026.

This is the stretch year.

Not the kind driven by pressure, comparison, or proving. But the kind that comes from knowing, in your body and your bones, that you’re ready to move differently than you ever have before.

Bigger rooms.
Bigger conversations.
Bigger clients, opportunities, and leadership.

We talk about why the structure of your beliefs matters more than anything else as you step into this next chapter, and how to expand those beliefs from soul-truth instead of willpower.

If you can feel that something is shifting for you, if you know the work you’ve done over the past months and years has been preparing you for this moment, this episode is an invitation to trust that you’re exactly where you need to be.

If you’re feeling called to go deeper this year, you can explore my current offerings and private coaching opportunities on my website. https://www.kerikugler.com

I’ve also created a private podcast series called Conscious Business Edge for women ready to expand their leadership, strategy, and belief structures in a grounded, intentional way. https://www.kerikugler.com/consciousbusinessedge

In this episode, I’m sharing something that’s been very alive for me over the past few months.

It’s been a season of stretch, challenge, and pressure. The kind that asks you to slow down instead of push harder. The kind that exposes how busy the mind can be, how reactive we can become without realizing it, and how easily we lose touch with stillness in the middle of full lives and growing responsibilities.

I talk about why stillness isn’t passive, soft, or unproductive but a real leadership skill. One that allows clarity, intuition, and grounded decision-making to come online, especially when you’re building something meaningful.

I also share personally about the last four-ish months of my life. Navigating family transitions, grief, responsibility, and the internal recalibration that happens when the external world keeps asking more of you. This episode is honest, embodied, and real.

At a certain level, the work isn’t about doing more or fixing yourself. It’s about noticing what you’ve outgrown, learning how to pause instead of react, and recognizing that the very season you’re in may be the one that’s building what you’ve been praying for.

If you’re craving more clarity, more truth, and a deeper way of leading in your life or your business, drop in.

There’s a seismic shift happening in the online space right now and the women who thrive in 2026 won’t be the ones consuming more strategy, signing up for more certifications, or gathering more tools.

They’ll be the ones who finally integrate the truth they already carry.

In this episode I’m sharing the energetic evolution I see unfolding for women in business, why identity and energetic mastery are becoming the true differentiators, and why the deeper work now isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about embodying who you already are.

We’ll talk about nervous system leadership, energetic precision inside business, and what it actually looks like to lead from truth rather than effort.

If this episode is speaking to where you’re heading, I’d love to share more of this work with you.

This episode explores the opportunities that arrive in our lives not to become long-term paths, but to activate something essential within us.

At the start of the year, I asked for expansion. I asked for growth. I asked for opportunities that would stretch me beyond what I already knew how to do — and the Universe delivered.

Not in the ways I expected.
Not in the forms I planned for.
But in the exact ways my soul needed.

In this conversation, I’m breaking down the two kinds of “temporary opportunities” that shape us:

• The ones that reflect your brilliance back to you
• The ones that reveal what you’ve outgrown

And why both are required initiations on the path to your bigger yes.

You’ll learn:

– What happens when you stay open to unexpected paths
– How to decode the purpose of short-term opportunities
– Why capability can keep you in what’s complete
– How to recognize what’s giving you energy vs. quietly taking it
– What these experiences reveal about your next level of leadership

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, identity refinement, or letting go… this episode will bring clarity and remind you that nothing is random. Everything is preparing you for what’s next.

There’s a difference between doing something because you can and doing it because it’s aligned.

In this episode, I’m sharing the evolution that’s been unfolding for me behind the scenes — a season where everything I do has become intentional. Not perfect. Not curated. Not strategic for the sake of performance. But intentional.

We’re talking about:

• Why intentionality is emotional discipline, not aesthetic presence

• Choosing alignment over capability

• Refining leadership by closing what no longer matches who you’re becoming

• How intention quietly shapes strategy, identity, communication, and growth

• Why perfection isn’t the goal — devotion is

Intentionality is the only thing we can truly control. And when it becomes the place we lead from, our business stops being a reaction and starts becoming a creation.

If you’re navigating a season of refinement, release, or deeper clarity — this one will land.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing something deeper than routine, mindset work, or the perfect morning ritual. We’re talking about spiritual integrity — not as something you do, but as a way you live.

After returning from an incredibly activating weekend in Chicago and sitting in a full-day immersion with my teacher yesterday, I found myself cracked open, expanded… and completely exhausted in the best way. It reminded me that the real practice isn’t what happens on the meditation pillow — it’s what happens in the moments after.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• Why so many leaders separate spiritual life and business life

• The hidden cost of spiritual disconnection, even when strategy is strong

• The difference between ritual and true spiritual leadership

• What spiritual integrity looks like in real-world everyday moments

• How intentionality becomes your ultimate form of embodiment

• The 5 pillars that support spiritual leadership in business

• How to begin integrating this work without perfection, pressure, or performance

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right practices” but something still feels misaligned, leaky, or energetically inconsistent — this episode is your reminder that your life is the ceremony, and your business is the expression.
