Ever tried fixing a leaky faucet, only to find your whole pipe system’s blown beneath the surface? That’s the difference between solving a symptom and solving the real problem.

In this high-frequency episode of the Crown Yourself Podcast, Kimberly Spencer dives into the energetic and subconscious misalignments that sabotage your business strategies. Through a real-world client case study, she unearths what happens when you follow a strategy that “should” work—but doesn’t feel aligned.

Whether you're stuck in hustle-mode, tweaking marketing tactics that don’t convert, or questioning why your offers aren’t landing, this is your invitation to stop treating leaves and start pulling roots. Kimberly breaks down how identity-coded beliefs, energetic dissonance, and lack of soul alignment are often the real culprits behind your "strategy problems."

If you’ve been posting on social but not getting traction, hiring help without clarity, or throwing spaghetti strategies at a wall, this episode is your wake-up call to sovereignty.

Learn how to read the feedback loops your business is showing you, align with your true path, and solve problems from the inside-out.

Queen, it’s time to rise—not by doing more, but by being more aligned.

Enjoy, sovereigns!
