This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually took to lead my Conscious Women in Business event.

From the moment I said yes and paid the deposit, everything started moving. Not just externally. Internally.

I was tested in ways I didn’t expect. My control, my trust, my leadership, my capacity to hold uncertainty.

Ticket sales didn’t go how I thought they would.
I had to let go of forcing outcomes.
I had to keep showing up without needing immediate validation.

And days before the event, I got sick. Like really sick which only amplified everything that was already there.

The doubt.
The pressure.
The responsibility of holding a room at the level I knew I was meant to.

But none of it was random. It was all refining me.

In this episode, I’m walking you through:

• What actually happens after you say yes to something bigger
• The internal shifts required to hold a higher-level space
• The moments that will shake your certainty and why they matter
• What the launch process revealed about control, trust, and leadership
• And how this entire experience changed the way I see my business moving forward

This is the part people don’t talk about.

The part where your business stops letting you operate at your current level
and starts asking you to become someone who can actually hold what you say you want.

There’s something subtle but powerful that can shift underneath you…
and if you don’t catch it, you’ll keep building a business that no longer fits.

In this episode, I’m sharing a simple practice I did this week that stopped me in my tracks.

I sat down and asked myself: what do I actually value right now?
Not what I used to value. Not what I think I should value.
What’s real for me today.

And what came through surprised me.

It wasn’t bigger goals.
It wasn’t more success.
It wasn’t even money in the way it used to be.

It was space.
Vitality.
Peace.
Joy.
Clean energy in how I live and work.

And it made me look at my business differently.

Because if what you value has shifted… but how you’re building hasn’t…
that disconnect will show up somewhere. In your energy. Your results. Your desire to keep going.

Inside this episode, I walk you through:

• The exact journaling practice you can use to reconnect to what matters now
• How to spot where your current business no longer matches your values
• The shift from chasing, proving, and pushing… into building from a different place
• What it actually looks like to still be ambitious, still make money, still move people — without abandoning yourself in the process

This isn’t about burning everything down. It’s about getting honest enough to build from where you are now.

→ Conscious Women in Business Live
We’re just days out from Conscious Women in Business in St. Louis.
If you’ve been feeling this shift in yourself and know you’re meant to lead and build differently, this room is for you.
A few spots are left.

→ Business Alignment Intensive
If you’re seeing the disconnect between what you want and how your business is currently operating, this is where we fix it. One focused session + a week of private support to realign your strategy and get you moving again.

There’s a moment in business that no one really prepares you for.

When things slow down.
When the numbers dip.
When it would be very easy to spiral, question everything, and make it mean something about you.

This episode is a real-time conversation about exactly that.

I’m taking you inside a recent income dip I experienced, how I moved through it, and what I see now so clearly about these seasons that most women completely miss.

Because here’s the truth:

Income dips are not a sign that something is wrong.
They’re a normal part of building something that actually grows.

But more than that, they reveal something deeper.

They show you who you are when things aren’t instantly working.
They expose where you’re still attaching your power, your worth, and your safety to your results.

And that’s the real work.

Inside this episode, I walk you through:

• What income dips actually mean (and what they don’t)
• Why these seasons are non-negotiable if you’re building something sustainable
• The identity shift that changes everything during slower seasons
• How to stop making dips mean something about your worth or your business
• Three simple, powerful practices I used to regulate my nervous system and shift my energy fast
• How to hold yourself in a way where you know you’re already on the other side

These practices are simple.
You can do them in minutes.
But they will change how you move through your business.

Because the women who create long-term success are not the ones who avoid dips.

They’re the ones who stay steady, grounded, and powerful inside of them.

This episode is a little different.

I originally felt called to record this as a way to celebrate my birthday, but not from a place of performance or recap. I wanted to open the door and actually let you into what this season of my life looks like in real time.

What I’m navigating.
What I’m seeing.
What I’m still working through.

Because growth in my 40s has been a completely different experience than anything I moved through in my 30s. It’s deeper. It’s more confronting. And it’s asking something different of me.

In this conversation, I’m sharing the lessons that have shaped me this past year and the ones that are still actively unfolding:

– What I’m attracting and what it’s reflecting back to me
– The difference between accessing a state and actually sustaining it
– Where control has been driving my decisions and what’s underneath it
– The shifts happening in my relationship to business, money, and social media
– What I want now as a woman, a mother, and a leader
– The deepening of my boundaries, my voice, and my sense of self
– And why this season feels less about fixing myself and more about expansion, connection, and truth

This isn’t a “here’s how to do it” episode.

It’s a real one. And my intention is that somewhere inside of it, you see yourself more clearly too.

Let's take it deeper:

If you’re listening and you can feel there’s something underneath your business that needs to shift, this is the work we do inside the Business Alignment Intensive.

It’s a private 90-minute session plus one week of private coaching to realign your business, get clear on what’s actually going on, and walk away with grounded decisions and next steps.

Book yours here.

And if you want to be in this conversation in a room with other women who are doing this work too, Conscious Women in Business Live is that space.

It’s an in-person leadership experience where we go deeper into how you’re leading and what’s ready to shift.

You can reserve your seat here.

There are conversations that stay on the surface and then there are the ones that take you into the actual work. This is one of those.

In this episode, I sat down with Ashley Simonis, someone I’ve had the privilege of witnessing over the years, from a season where she was still finding her footing… to now leading her own work with clarity and conviction.

We didn’t just talk about business. We talked about the practice behind it. What it really means to live your work. To be in it and to let it shape you. We went into the seasons that don’t get talked about enough, the ones where nothing is landing the way you hoped, where you’re questioning everything, where it looks like it might not work. And instead of rushing past that part, we stayed there.

Because that’s the part that changes you.

Inside this conversation, we explore what it looks like to move through those spaces without abandoning yourself… and how that is the very thing that builds the woman capable of leading something real. We talk about yoga not as something you do for an hour on a mat, but as a way of living, a way of holding yourself, a way of making decisions, a way of leading. And how that practice becomes the foundation for everything you create in your business.

This episode is for the woman who is in it right now.

The one who KNOWS the gap.
The one who knows she’s in a transition.
The one who can feel what’s next, but doesn’t fully see how it comes together yet.

Nothing has gone wrong. You’re in the work.

And if you stay with it, if you keep going, if you let it shape you instead of rushing to escape it, that’s where everything starts to move.

Her gusto for these practices (and life in general) is undeniable and you’ll see that in her offerings. Ashley's mission is to get these practices off the mat (or cushion) and into the world. There's something really profound that happens when a person can bring their practice into their day to day lives.

There’s a moment that happens in many women’s businesses that isn’t talked about very often. She’s not a beginner anymore. She has already built something. She’s showing up, creating content, selling, and taking action, but the effort she’s putting into the business no longer seems to match the results she’s getting back.

At this stage, most women assume they simply need to do more. More visibility. More content. More platforms. More effort. But in reality, what’s often happening is much quieter than that. The business itself has slowly drifted out of alignment with the woman leading it.

In this episode I walk through four unconscious patterns she frequently sees inside women’s businesses when things start to feel heavier than they should. These patterns are subtle, but once you see them, it becomes much easier to understand what actually needs to change. You’ll also hear the deeper questions that can help you step back and recalibrate your business so the structure, strategy, and systems are supporting the level of leadership you’re stepping into now.

This is the exact kind of work I do inside My Business Alignment Intensives, a focused 90-minute private session + 1-week of private Voxer coaching designed to help women look at their business clearly and identify what truly needs to shift. If you’ve been taking action but feel like something underneath the surface isn’t quite working anymore, this episode will help you see your business from a new perspective.

We hear it all the time.

“Get out of your own way.”
“You’re the only thing standing between you and what you want.”

But what does that actually look like in the day-to-day when you’re building a business, leading clients, and creating something meaningful?

In this episode of The Aligned Woman Podcast I share a deeper look at how we unknowingly stall our own momentum.

Not through lack of ideas.
Not through lack of ambition.
But through hesitation, second-guessing, and outsourcing our authority.

Inside this episode we explore:

• Why second-guessing is one of the biggest hidden blocks in business

• How outsourcing your authority slows your momentum

• The difference between seeking clarity and avoiding decisions

• Why powerful businesses are built by women who know how to decide

• How over-thinking, endless research, and too many opinions dilute your inner authority

• The real cost of circling the same decision over and over again

You’ll also be prompted to reflect on something you may already know the answer to but haven’t acted on yet.

Because the truth is:

In the time you spend questioning, researching, and second-guessing, you could have made ten decisions and already be light-years ahead. You're READY.

Conscious Women In Business Live Event

My upcoming Conscious Women in Business, a three-hour, in-person leadership experience for women building something they care deeply about. This isn’t a networking event or a seminar. It’s a room for deeper conversations about leadership, decision-making, and how you want to lead the business you’re building.

Learn more and grab your ticket here: https://www.kerikugler.com/consciouswomeninbusiness

Last week, I stepped out of my little online bubble and attended a content event at Dreamer’s Loft. I’m selective about who I learn from. I almost didn’t go, but what I walked away with had nothing to do with trends, hooks, or algorithms.

It was a reminder I think many of us need right now: Embodied content over performance.

If you are a service-based business owner, your people are not buying your offer in isolation. They are investing in you. Your leadership. Your energy. Your presence. Your standards.

And when your leadership feels off, your content will too.

That’s when Instagram feels heavy.
That’s when comparison creeps in.
That’s when you start trying to “crack the code” instead of actually leading.

In this mini-episode, I share:

• Why content feels flat when you’re disconnected from yourself

• The leadership question you should be asking instead of “What should I post?”

• A behind-the-scenes look at how I created a recent reel without interrupting my life or sacrificing presence

• Why imperfect, human, embodied content will always outperform polished performance

If social media feels exhausting right now, this isn’t about working harder or finding a better strategy.

It’s about getting back into your body.
Back into your standards.
Back into your lane.

From there, sharing becomes natural.

Conscious Women in Business — April 17 | St. Louis

An in-person leadership room for women building meaningful work who are ready to deepen how they lead and how they show up.

This is not a networking night.
It’s not a seminar.
It’s a curated leadership experience.

Private Partnership

I’ll have one Private Partnership space opening in April.

This is for the woman who is already building something meaningful and knows her next level isn’t about doing more. It’s about leading differently. Thinking differently. Holding herself differently.

This is high-touch, identity-driven leadership work. We look at your business, yes. But we also look at the woman running it.

If you feel the pull toward that kind of support, you can find the details here: https://www.kerikugler.com/privatepartnership
