  • New Level, Same Damn Devil

    New level, same damn devil? Kimberly Spencer explores how unresolved beliefs about self-worth can resurface in relationships, business, and money—even after meaningful personal growth. Through candid storytelling and four reflection questions, discover how to recognize repeating patterns, release overresponsibility, and pair inner transformation with practical boundaries. Build sovereign success while giving yourself permission to receive the good you already deserve.

    In this episode of Crown Yourself®, you’ll learn:

    • Why familiar struggles can return in new forms—and how an underlying belief about your worth can show up across relationships, business, and money.
    • How the just-world bias can fuel self-blame, leading you to take responsibility for harmful choices someone else made.
    • Where accountability becomes overresponsibility—and how to own your choices without carrying everyone else’s.
    • How people-pleasing, overgiving, and hypercontrol can keep recurring patterns in motion, even as you achieve more.
    • Four questions to uncover a repeating pattern and identify whether you need an internal shift, a practical boundary, or both.
    • How to build success without making yourself suffer for it, allowing your ambition and self-worth to grow together.
    • 👑 Your next level starts with recognizing that you already deserve good things—and taking action from that belief.

      • NLP Language Patterns Keeping Your Business Stuck

        Successful—but still convinced you have to do everything? Kimberly Spencer explores five language patterns that may reveal your subconscious business growth ceiling. Through NLP-inspired questions, personal stories, and a one-week language audit, discover how to challenge assumptions about delegation, visibility, urgency, and messaging—so you can move from overwhelmed founder to sovereign leader with more freedom and impact.

        In this episode of Crown Yourself®, you’ll learn:

        • How to recognize five language patterns that may be limiting your business growth—including “I have to do everything” and “If I slow down, everything will fall apart.”
        • How to question the beliefs behind founder overwhelm and uncover the business decisions you’re making because of them.
        • How to shift from doing everything to leading with direction, delegating tasks so you can spend more time in your zone of genius.
        • How to identify what’s crowding out your visibility through a time audit and targeted support.
        • Why impressive credentials don’t always convert into clients—and how clear messaging connects your expertise to their problems.

          13 min
        • External Environment, Internal Reality: Raise Your Standards

          What if you don’t need more—you need to stop tolerating what no longer fits?

          Kimberly Spencer explores how personal standards, subconscious beliefs, and your environment shape the way you lead. From a podcast studio upgrade to seven-figure client conversations, discover practical ways to support conscious business growth, strengthen team effectiveness, and create meaningful change with what you already have.

          In this episode you’ll learn how to:

          • Raise your standards without spending more by making small, intentional changes that support the leader you’re becoming.
          • Recognize what you’ve been tolerating in your workspace, daily routines, and business—and decide what needs to change.
          • Question the belief that growth always requires “more” people, leads, space, or resources.
          • Improve your existing team’s effectiveness through clearer responsibilities, project ownership, and performance expectations.
          • Explore depth over volume in business development by prioritizing meaningful conversations over constant lead chasing.
          • Bring conscious manifestation into everyday choices by aligning your environment and actions with what you want to create.
          • Your next breakthrough could begin with a better system, a higher standard—or simply moving a plant. 👑

                  • ENCORE EPISODE: Am I Being Too Hard on Myself at Work?

                    Do you struggle with being overly self-critical? Are you being too hard on yourself?

                    If you’ve ever wondered how to stop being so hard on yourself, THIS episode is for you. Having worked with high achieving leaders, entrepreneurs, and business owners for the past 5 years, and has been a recovering perfectionist who was especially skilled at being self-critical, I’ve seen so many high performers, including myself, struggle with being too hard on themselves, especially at work.

                    There is a difference between having high expectations and goals for what you want to achieve, and being too hard on yourself. In fact, I’ve noticed that when you’re too hard on yourself, not only does your level of happiness and fulfillment suffer but so does…eventually…your performance and results. 

                    Listen to this episode to get some examples of being too self-critical and my strategies to stop being so hard on yourself. 

                    And if you have a fellow high-achieving friend who you wish wouldn’t be so hard on herself, then please, share this with her.

                        From the publisher's feed

                        Call it the Universe, intuition, faith, a Divine nudge — brought you to this podcast. To the edge of the version of yourself you've been circling for months, maybe years. The one who leads with certainty instead of pressure. That builds from vision instead of survival. That Future Self, version of you who has the revenue, the freedom, the voice, the impact, and the peace — all at the same time.
