On the surface, life and business look good. You're checking all the boxes. But something still feels off.

In this episode, Genea reveals why most entrepreneurs feel like they're living a "level 6 (ir lower) life" even when they've achieved success on paper.

The issue isn't your strategy, your work ethic, or your talent.

It's your decision-making mechanism … the invisible autopilot system that's been running your life since childhood.

Genea walks you through:

🔹 The uncomfortable truth about why your life recreates the same emotional patterns from childhood … and how that's keeping your business at a ceiling

🔹 What happens when you make decisions from obligation instead of alignment … and why that creates more frustration and headaches

🔹 The mindset trap that makes you fail even when you have the BEST coaches, mentors, and strategies

🔹 How to know if you're ready to actually change (hint: you'll feel something, and it won't be comfortable)

If you've been working hard, following the rules, and still feeling like something's missing, this episode will help you understand what's really going on beneath the surface.

Listen now to discover how to shift from autopilot to intentional decision-making … and finally create the level 10 life you've been chasing.

You can grow revenue and still go broke.

In this episode, Genea sits down with Kimberly Spencer to unpack a pattern most entrepreneurs don't see coming: money bulimia.

It's the cycle of bringing in more revenue while watching profits vanish, expenses pile up, and cash flow disappear.

Kimberly knows this pattern intimately because she lived it first with food, then with relationships, and finally with business.

She traced it back to childhood chaos, the need to control what felt uncontrollable, and a deep-seated belief that she didn't deserve to keep what she earned.

This conversation goes beneath strategy and into the subconscious drivers that keep capable entrepreneurs repeating the same financial patterns over and over.

You'll hear:

🔹 Why childhood patterns dictate how you handle money in business

🔹 How bulimia became the blueprint for business self-sabotage

🔹 How Kimberly went from $115 in annual revenue to scaling multiple six figures by addressing the real problem

🔹 What happens when you finally trust yourself instead of repeating what looks good on paper

If your business feels like a cycle of progress and loss, this episode will help you see the pattern you've been repeating and what it takes to break it.

Most people live a life defined by trauma … without even knowing it.

In this episode, Genea dismantles the misconceptions around trauma.

She reveals why most people stay trapped in cycles that prevent them from ever getting what they want.

She exposes how unprocessed emotions from overwhelming events create false stories about who we are.

And how these stories end up running our businesses, relationships, and entire lives.

Genea gets raw about trauma. And gives you a clear path to not letting it be the excuse as to why your life is not the way you want it to be.

She breaks down what happens to your nervous system when you experience traumatic events. And how it keeps you focused on what you don't want instead of what you want to create.

This conversation dives deep into:

🔹 The moment your nervous system decided you couldn't handle something and why it's still protecting you from it

🔹 The difference between trauma emotions and the shame stories we build around them

🔹 Why talking about trauma without identifying and processing the root emotions just reinforces the prison

🔹 The three-stage journey from emotional overwhelm to complete neutrality and freedom

If you've ever felt like your past is secretly running your present, this episode will help you reclaim the freedom to be who you actually are.
