  • 065 | My Phone Addiction Is Stealing My Daughter's Childhood (And What I'm Doing About It)

    065 | My Phone Addiction Is Stealing My Daughter's Childhood (And What I'm Doing About It)
    Dec 22 2025

    You know that sinking moment when you realize you're in a million places at once but nowhere at the same time? Like you want to be present, but the feeling of 'being behind', 'having so many things to do', or justifying needing to be 'productive' when you're really just addicted to your phone.... yeah, me too. I've had that realization on repeat lately, and it's been hitting me like a freight train.

    In this raw episode, I'm sharing three wake-up calls that made me realize I'm stealing precious moments with my 8-year-old daughter and teaching her terrible habits about screens versus presence.

    This isn't perfectly packaged - this is me processing in real-time about restructuring my entire life and business around what I actually value. You'll hear about the heartbreak of half-listening while scrolling, why I'm questioning the social media narrative entirely, and the shift from manic busyness to intentional presence.

    What we're covering:

    • How phone addiction is fragmenting my attention and modeling bad habits for Aisy
    • Why I'm testing a podcast-first business strategy instead of chasing Instagram
    • The difference between being busy versus being effective
    • Reflection questions to examine your own patterns with work and presence

    Ready to Transform From the Inside Out?

    If you're feeling this same tension between building a business and being present with your family, and you're ready to design your life around what you actually value instead of what everyone says you "should" do, email me at kaija@kaijadawn.com.

    I have a few 1:1 coaching spots open in January for women ready to create systems that support presence AND profit.

    064 | How to Use the Gene Keys for Shadow Work in Your Relationship
    Dec 18 2025
    If you're sick of having the same fights every 4-6 weeks, the thoughts of "are we compatible?", and that urge to run when things get hard - those are clues that your shadows miiiight be running the show, and the Gene Keys give you the exact map to transform them from relationship issues into deeper connection and trust in your relationship. #Winning In this episode, we're talking about using the Gene Keys to dive deep into she shadow work that actually transforms you and your relationships from the inside out. This isn't about doing random shadow work journals from Amazon - it's about having the precise blueprint of your genetic predispositions that show up in your relationships.

I'm walking you through the Venus Sequence spheres - from your Purpose sphere that determines relationship chemistry to your Core Wound sphere that carries your ancestral patterns. Plus practical examples of how the 37th Gene Key (weakness/equality/tenderness) and 59th Gene Key (dishonesty/intimacy/transparency) show up in relationships, and the journaling prompts that actually create biochemical shifts instead of just mental understanding.

  • 063 | Autoimmune Issues Aren't 'Just Stress'—They're Suppressed Truth (And Here's What to Do About It)

    063 | Autoimmune Issues Aren't 'Just Stress'—They're Suppressed Truth (And Here's What to Do About It)
    Dec 15 2025

    Here's something your doctor probably won't tell you: your PCOS, thyroid issues, gut problems, and autoimmune flares aren't just stress - they're your body's sacred intelligence system trying to wake you up to what you're not willing to face.

    In this raw, unfiltered episode, I'm sharing the most vulnerable parts of my story - how I went completely deaf in my right ear because I stopped listening to myself, why I gave myself a miscarriage at 5 months pregnant, and the moment I lost my voice after the universe slapped me awake in April.

    This isn't easy to share, but I need you to understand that your 60 trillion cells are always listening and responding to your internal and external environment, and your symptoms are sacred information, not betrayal.

    You'll hear about the body's whispers-to-screaming cycle, why the right side of my body going offline was connected to seeking external validation instead of trusting my feminine intuition, and the specific questions to ask when physical symptoms arise.

    Plus I'm walking you through exactly how the pattern escalates from "something feels off" to full autoimmune flare-up, and how to catch it at the whisper stage instead of waiting for your body to scream.

    What we're covering:

    • Why autoimmune issues, PCOS, and thyroid problems are your body's protection system, not punishment
    • The whispers-to-screaming cycle and how symptoms escalate when we ignore our inner knowing
    • My personal stories: going deaf, miscarriage, and laryngitis as spiritual wake-up calls
    • How your DNA responds to electrochemical signals from suppressed truth and self-abandonment
    • The questions to ask when physical symptoms arise: "What truth am I not honoring?"

    Ready to Transform From the Inside Out?

    If this conversation cracked something open and you're ready to go from self-abandonment to radical self-trust, I have a few spots open for 1:1 coaching.

    This is about learning to listen to your body's whispers before they become screams, creating safety in your nervous system, and addressing the spiritual and emotional roots of physical symptoms. Send me a DM if you're ready to stop abandoning yourself and start trusting your body's sacred intelligence.

    062 | How to Stop Second-Guessing Yourself: Using Your Values and Human Design Authority to Make Aligned Decisions
    Dec 11 2025
    Here's the truth about why you keep breaking promises to yourself: you're trying to make decisions without a compass, and every choice becomes an internal battle instead of a clear yes or no. In this episode, I'm sharing how discovering my values after my miscarriage in March 2020 completely changed how I make decisions - and then how learning I'm a Self-Projected Projector took it to the next level. This isn't just about knowing what matters to you; it's about letting your values work WITH your Human Design Authority to make decisions FOR you. You'll hear my vulnerable story about that dark time in my life, how my counselor's simple values exercise cracked something open, and the exact framework I use now to stop second-guessing myself and breaking trust with myself. What we're covering: How values become your internal compass that literally make decisions for youThe different Human Design Authority types and how to use yours for body wisdomThe Texas Roadhouse bread basket principle (how values + Authority eliminate self-sabotage)Why combining what you value with how your body knows creates unshakeable clarityThe exact questions to ask yourself when you're confused about any decision Resources mentioned in the episode: Values ExercisePull your Human Design Chart012 | Be Decisive & Trust Your Intuition Using Your Human Design Inner Authority Ready to Transform From the Inside Out? If you're tired of breaking promises to yourself and want to learn how to make decisions from a place of clarity instead of confusion, I have a few spots open for 1:1 coaching.

  • 061 | The Alone Time Paradox As A Mom: Sacred Solitude or Selfish Escape?

    061 | The Alone Time Paradox As A Mom: Sacred Solitude or Selfish Escape?
    Dec 8 2025

    Can we talk about the mom guilt that comes with needing space from your kids, while using it to numb out vs actually restoring? Because there's a massive difference between alone time that restores you and alone time that makes you feel worse - and maybe you're experiencing the latter like me...

    In this raw episode, I'm getting real about hitting my nervous system limits with my 8-year-old daughter and the shame spiral that follows. This isn't about being a bad mom for needing breaks - it's about recognizing when you're using phone scrolling as fake restoration instead of honoring what you actually need. I'm sharing my decision to experiment with late-night creative time, potentially delete Instagram for 30 days, and the bigger message about what needs to shed so we can step into more presence.

    What we're covering:

    • The 7th Gene Key shadow of division and how it shows up in my parenting and my daughter's design
    • Why phone addiction creates guilt-inducing breaks that don't restore anything
    • The difference between honoring nervous system limits vs. hiding from your family
    • How 2025's snake energy is calling us to shed what's not working, and step into horse energy in 2026
    • Why I'm experimenting with switching to late-night creative time
    • How awareness of what the seed of our intentions are showing us the real patterns being played out

    Ready to Transform From the Inside Out?

    If this conversation hit home and you're ready to break your own patterns of numbing out instead of truly restoring, I have a few spots open for 1:1 coaching.

    This is about getting honest about what you actually need versus what you think you should be able to handle, and creating sustainable rhythms that support your nervous system and your family. Send me a DM if you're ready to stop the guilt spiral and start honoring what you really need.

  • 060 | The Four Attachment Styles That Are Running Your Relationship And How to Reprogram Them with Sim Gandhi

    060 | The Four Attachment Styles That Are Running Your Relationship And How to Reprogram Them with Sim Gandhi
    Dec 4 2025

    Let's be real about something: you can want a secure relationship all you want, but if your subconscious believes you're unworthy of love, guess which one wins every time.

    In this episode, I'm joined by Sim from Heart & Mind Business Coaching to dive deep into the four attachment styles and why understanding them is the key to breaking toxic relationship cycles. Sim has a background in psychology and is certified in integrated attachment theory, and she breaks down exactly how our childhood programming creates subconscious patterns that sabotage our adult relationships. This isn't just theory - we get into the practical tools for identifying your core wounds and the specific technique for reprogramming your subconscious mind.

    You'll hear us do a live core wound identification exercise (using my recent trigger around financial stress), learn the exact steps for subconscious reprogramming, and understand why avoidant partners aren't villains - they're just trying to feel safe. Plus Sim shares the gas tank analogy that will completely change how you think about choosing partners and the difference between codependent and interdependent love.

    What we're covering:

    • The four attachment styles and how childhood experiences create each pattern
    • Why your subconscious mind (95%) overrides your conscious desires (5%) in relationships
    • The live core wound identification exercise and what my triggers revealed
    • The exact subconscious reprogramming technique with evidence and alpha/theta brain waves
    • Why avoidants pull away and how anxious types can stop triggering the cycle

    Ready to Transform From the Inside Out?

    If this conversation opened your eyes to patterns you've been unconsciously running and you're ready to do the deep work of healing your attachment wounds, I have a few spots open for 1:1 coaching. This is about identifying your core wounds, reprogramming your subconscious patterns, and learning to love from a place of fullness instead of emptiness. Send me a DM if you're ready to break the cycle.

  • 059 | Unmasking the Woman Behind It All: My Vulnerable Truth About Authenticity and Visibility

    059 | Unmasking the Woman Behind It All: My Vulnerable Truth About Authenticity and Visibility
    Dec 1 2025

    What if the masks you've been wearing to feel safe are actually keeping you from the connection you crave?

    In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the shifts happening in my inner world and why 2025 feels like a collective death and rebirth.

    This isn't a typical teaching episode - this is me getting real about my 7th Gene Key shadow of hiding that's been running my life, and the scary but exciting changes I'm making to honor what my body and soul are actually calling for instead of what I think I "should" be doing, and embodying what it really means to be the woman behind it all.

    What we're covering:

    • Why I'm shifting from 4am masculine energy to nighttime feminine creation time
    • The decision to step back from Instagram and make my podcast the heart of everything
    • How I'm choosing presence with my daughter over pressure to perform online
    • Moving away from my coach's strategy to find my own authentic voice
    • Exciting changes coming to the show (including mini Human Design & Gene Keys readings!)

    Ready to Transform From the Inside Out?

    If this conversation resonated and you're feeling called to do your own shadow work and step into your authentic power, I have a few spots open for 1:1 coaching. This is deep work - looking at where you've been hiding, what patterns are ready to shift, and how to honor your design instead of forcing strategies that don't fit.

    Send me a DM if you're ready to shed what's not you and step into who you really are.

    Come chat with me in my DMs about what shifts you're feeling too - I want to hear from you!
