You are expansive, immense, a Divine, infinite being encased in a human meat-sack of a body, so how in the heck can you contort yourself into - gasp! - just one mold?!
As a multi-passionate entrepreneur myself, whose changed careers a few times in the past two decades - from screenwriter to Pilates instructor to president of an e-commerce startup to coaching to CEO, to mom, wife, health and fitness lover, writer, content creator, podcaster - I could go on, but I think you get the point, I get the challenge of that dreaded questionā¦
āSo what do you do?ā
But, living in this 3-D world, itās essential that you know how to define that āspecial sauceā that is the thing that you do so epically well.
Does it make you who you are? Somewhat.
Is it all of what you are? Absolutely ...

I'm thrilled to share some exciting insights from my recent podcast episode where we dove deep into the concept of accountability. This episode is a game-changer, and I can't wait for you to listen!
Ā
šø Accountability to Your Highest Self: We often look for accountability from external sources, but the real magic happens when we hold ourselves accountable to our highest self. I shared an exercise that I use with my clients to envision their best selves and imagine achieving their goals. It's a powerful shift in perception that can lead to incredible results.

I'm Kimberly Spencer, your hostĀ of Crown Yourself podcast, and I'm thrilled to share with you some insights from my latest episode. This one is a deeply personal journey, a tale of transformation, love, and the profound impact of motherhood.
Ā
š¶ The Birth of a Mother: My son Declan has been a phenomenal force in my life. His arrival not only birthed him into the world but also birthed me into a deeper sense of motherhood. It's a magical bond that has the power to transmute and transform.
š Love vs. Attachment: This episode delves into the difference between love and attachment. Detachment doesn't mean not loving, but rather freeing ourselves from the energy that binds us to others. It's a concept inspired by Buddha's teaching that the root of suffering is attachment.

While the rest of the world may be seeing your highlight reel and your smiles and your good side - even if you post about the challenges youāve faced - no one really knows what you go through.
Ā
Not really.Ā
Ā
ā¦Not unless they are with you day after day watching you put in the miles of hard work, diligence, effort, love, sacrifice, joy, pleasure, and facing your pain, your heart, your challenges, and those moments when you are your most courageous self.

Doing hard things.

Imagine a pandemic, business meltdown, and cancerā¦at the same timeā¦and still being able to have a sense of humor through it all. Well, that is my guest in a delightful nut-shell on the Crown Yourself podcast.
For Jen Coken, humor was her North Star, along with a clear set of principles that have taken her from boobs to bust and bouncing back better than everā¦with a movie!
I am so honored to pull this podcast episode from the archives and bring it forth into the beautiful renewed light of transformation that happens when you can laugh at the devil and reveal your true power - resilient AF and gloriously gritty.
Jenās journey is a testament to the power of resilience and grit, and I'm excited to share some of the key takeaways from our conversation:Ā
Ā
Long ago, in ancient cultures, rites of passage were performed for various transformations. You're probably familiar with the ones for birth, death, and weddings...but what about those everyday challenges? Business challenges?Ā
Here's the thing...
It's not a challenge. It's an initiation.Ā
These past 6-months, moving - again - just this time, into our dream home, I have faced one of the greatest initiations of my life as we have settled into a whole new level.
In this episode, I explore how initiations are not just limited to secret societies or occult practices but are deeply woven into our everyday lives.
From becoming a first-time parent to hitting a new income level in business, each initiation marks the beginning of something new and often involves challenges and discomfort. But, it's through these initiations that we grow, transform, and claim sovereignty over our lives.
Here are some key takeaways from the episode:
Over the past year, between all the packing, unpacking, children, grief-processing, travel, and fun of the ups and downs, time had shifted. I had shifted. I had transformed from being an early bird - up with the sun, work out complete, kick butt start to the day - to a night owl. I spent my nights in the quiet solitude of my thoughtful reflection, feeling everything deeply - because, as my breath work mentor Gitan states in his book, you gotta Feel to Heal.Ā
Ā
At least for me, nights are best for deep feelings, creativity, and healing. Mornings, for me, are best for action, ambition, and the discipline of consistent creation.Ā
Ā
Not that one or the other was bad, or right or wrong.Ā
Ā
But, when I looked into the future and saw what is literally on the horizon for me, my travel plans (bananas), my kids' schedules, and our businesses, I knew that staying a night owl wasnāt a sustainable model for all that I desire to create this year.Ā
Ā
And, because I had honored, without judgme...
I knowā¦itās been a hot minute. Iāll admit it, even for me to go this long without writing has beenā¦well..creatively depleting, to say the least. I have found comfort in the joy of the posts onĀ Facebook and occasionally on Instagram when a moment of inspiration has struck within the hours of the day.
Ā
Is it a sustainable business model? I certainly wouldnāt recommend my present level of content production if you were just starting out.
Ā
But if youāve spent the past 7 years building up personal relationships, cultivating epic referrals, and loving on your past clients, you definitely can take a content pause for a quarter (or a month more.)
Ā
That being saidā¦
Ā
And to quote Eminemā¦
Ā
Guess whoās back. Back again.
Ā
These past three months have been CHALLENGING, to say the least.
Ā
And yet, as you know me, I always believe they are happening FOR me, not TO me.
Ā
So when I had a midnight moment to pause for reflection amidst the movement, I realizedā¦
