A few days ago, I was journaling about how I want to close out the year…

and it hit me just how different I am from the version of me who walked into 2025 thinking she had everything under control.

(Spoiler: she did not.)

This was the year I went inward.
The year I pulled back.

And the biggest shift that changed the way I lead myself + run my business?

✨ I stopped outsourcing my identity.

Inside this episode, I’m breaking down the 12 identity shifts that quietly rewired me this year — the internal upgrades that changed my confidence, my boundaries, my self-trust, and the way I make decisions in my life and business.

(aka the shifts you’re probably feeling in your own life without having language for them yet)

We talk about:

• trusting your gut without needing a panel of opinions
• becoming magnetic by becoming private
• stepping into roles before you feel “ready”

These aren’t the loud, dramatic shifts.

They’re the subtle ones that stack until suddenly you don’t recognize the old version of you anymore.

This episode is your reminder that identity isn’t fixed. It’s chosen.

And you’re allowed to upgrade yours as often as needed.

A few days ago, someone sent me a message about near-death experiences…
and it instantly pulled me back to the years after my sister passed — the years where I was obsessed with understanding what happens after we die.

I went deep into learning about Life-Between-Lives regressions, and what thousands of people across the world report seeing when they temporarily cross over either during hypnosis or in near death experiences.

And the one detail that changed the way I live, love, and run my business?

✨ The Life Review.

If you’re someone who cares about your impact, your legacy, your purpose (or you’re just a curious little rebel)… this episode is going to hit you in the chest in the best way.

(aka why you’re going to think about this for the next 3 days)

The Life Review isn’t just a spiritual concept.

It shows up in near-death experience studies, in regression therapy data, and in long-term psychological research.

Inside this episode, we break down:

• what a “life review” actually is

• the wild pattern thousands of people report across cultures and eras

• the measurable long-term changes people make afterward

• how this concept can literally change the way you run your business

• why your smallest interactions matter way more than the metrics you obsess over

This is your crash course in legacy, impact, and the invisible ripple effect your energy leaves everywhere you go.

Here’s what people report during a life review:

• They rewatch their life somewhat like a movie

• Except — they also feel it through the eyes of every person they ever impacted

• The tiny moments matter just as much as the big ones

• Empathy is heightened

• Time doesn’t feel real

• And they walk away forever changed

Science can’t prove life reviews happen to everyone… or happen at all...
but it can measure the shifts people make after they do experience one:
more empathy, deeper relationships, purpose-driven decisions, career changes, value realignment, and a complete “I can’t go back to who I was” vibe.

Whether you believe in the spiritual side or not, it’s the behavioral change that matters.

You’re creating ripples every single day — in your offers, in your content, in your client experiences, in your presence.

You don’t need viral moments, big credentials, or 8-figure receipts to make a massive impact.

You just need:

• integrity

• intention

• authenticity

• and a willingness to show up fully

When you build your business like it’s part of your legacy?
It changes everything.

Inside this episode I also share a little bit about the soul contract I created for my sister — the themes her energy carried, the legacy she left, and why your purpose has nothing to do with degrees, titles, or the things humans think are “important.”

Most people are remembered for how they made others feel…
not the resume they left behind.

You’ll also get a guided reflection to help you explore your “symbolic life review” today, including:

• What moments would stand out?

• Who would you want to repair or deepen connection with?

• Where are you playing small?

• What fears would you release?

• What love or appreciation would you give more freely?

This part is so good for gaining clarity on how you want to mov forward in life - no NDE required.

In this episode, Breeanna opens up about her journey from following traditional religion to creating her own spiritual truth — one rooted in intuition, self-trust, and freedom.

She unpacks why so many women are questioning old structures, how spirituality can coexist with Christianity, and why finding your own truth doesn’t have to mean turning your back on faith. This episode is an invitation to reconnect with what feels real, empowering, and aligned for you.

🔥 Takeaways:

• You’re allowed to outgrow beliefs that no longer fit.

• Spirituality and religion aren’t opposites — they can complement each other.

• Intuition is your most trustworthy form of guidance.

• Faith can evolve as you do.

• True empowerment comes from questioning, not conforming.

• Love and kindness are the universal truths across all belief systems.

• You don’t need a label to have a deep connection to the divine.

  
  

Sound Bites:

• "Sometimes, letting go of religion isn’t about losing faith — it’s about finding it again in your own way."
• "Your intuition is the language your soul speaks."
• "Spirituality doesn’t replace God — it reconnects you to yourself."

If “just talking about it” hasn’t helped you heal, you’re not alone. Breeanna sits down with trauma healer and Reiki master Sandra Cooze to uncover what traditional therapy misses and how to reclaim your life through real, embodied healing — the kind that goes way beyond talk therapy and dives deep into your body, energy, and soul.

Sandra opens up about her own trauma journey and how it led her to create her unique approach to emotional healing — blending energy work, Trauma Incident Reduction, and personal growth practices that help people reclaim their power. Together, Bree and Sandra break down why traditional therapy often hits a ceiling, how to tell if you’re operating from your comfort zone instead of authenticity, and what it actually takes to release old wounds so you can step into your full potential.

This isn’t your typical “healing” conversation. It’s an honest look at the layers of trauma, the limiting beliefs that keep us stuck, and the courage it takes to outgrow your own coping mechanisms.

Whether you’re in therapy, exploring Reiki, or just beginning your self-discovery journey, this episode will remind you that healing isn’t about perfection — it’s about freedom.

• Healing starts with awareness — not avoidance.

• Therapy can be powerful, but your growth is limited by how deeply you’re willing to go within.

• Trauma is about response, not just the event itself.

• Your comfort zone is designed to keep you “safe,” not fulfilled.

• There’s no hierarchy of trauma — both “big T” and “little t” experiences matter.

• You can’t think your way out of trauma — you have to feel your way through it.

• Energy healing and self-trust are keys to breaking the cycle.

• Growth is messy, nonlinear, and 100% worth it.

Ever feel like you’re trying to run a business the “right” way but it just doesn’t fit your energy? Same. That’s why in this episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, I’m breaking down how astrology can actually give you the blueprint for your CEO energy— without the burnout, overthinking, or chasing strategies that just don’t work for you.

We’re talking about your Big Three — sun, moon, and rising signs — and how knowing them can change the way you lead, make decisions, and show up in your business. I also get into your Midheaven (your career power spot) and even the Lot of Fortune, which might just be the secret key you’ve been missing to feeling aligned while scaling your business.

Here’s the kicker: you don’t need to obsess over every transit or planetary movement. Instead, I show you how to trust your own intuition alongside your chart — because your energy always knows what’s next. If you’re done with cookie-cutter advice and ready to build a business and life that actually feels like you, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Astrology isn’t woo-woo here: It can reveal your natural strengths and help you build a business that actually aligns with you.

• Trust your gut, not every transit: Your intuition will guide you more than obsessing over planetary movements ever could.

• Know your Big Three: Sun, moon, and rising signs show your unique energy and how to show up in an authentic, aligned way.

• Midheaven matters: This part of your chart is like your North Star for career and professional success.

• Lot of Fortune = hidden gems: This chart point can point you toward effortless success when leveraged right.

Notable Quotes:

• "I'll help you build a business and a life that's so deeply rooted in your purpose that you never feel like you missed out on the life that you are supposed to live."
• "Maybe your birth chart can tell you more about your own CEO energy than your last business coach ever did."
• "You don't have to believe in astrology to use it…and just see what happens and what changes in your life."
• "A lot of you solopreneurs can relate to this. It feels like you're wearing many different hats."
• "When you know how you're meant to operate, then you stop forcing strategies that really just don't fit your energy."

Every entrepreneur reaches that moment — when your gut says one thing but your mind screams another.

So how do you know if it’s fear holding you back… or intuition guiding you forward?

In this episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, Breeanna Kay gets real about the inner tug-of-war between your body’s wisdom and your brain’s what-ifs. Drawing from her own experiences and what she sees in her clients every day, Bree breaks down how to recognize which voice you’re actually listening to and how to stop letting fear run the show.

She dives deep into the science and energetics behind fear vs. intuition, unpacking what’s happening in your nervous system when each one takes the lead. You’ll learn how to tune into your body’s cues, identify what’s actually aligned for you, and use your Human Design authority (sacral, emotional, or otherwise) to make decisions that move you forward — not just keep you safe.

Whether you’re scaling your business, navigating a relationship, or standing at a major life crossroads, this episode will help you build the self-trust to follow your gut, even when your mind freaks out.

• Fear vs. Intuition: Fear protects you from perceived danger; intuition guides you toward expansion.

• Body vs. Mind: Learn to feel the difference between tension and truth.

• Human Design + Authority: Use your unique authority to make aligned, soul-led decisions.

• Build Intuition Muscles: Start small to strengthen your trust in bigger moments.

• Self-Trust > Fear: Confidence doesn’t come from knowing the outcome — it comes from trusting yourself no matter what.

Notable Quotes:

"Are you actually just scared of the change? Or is your intuition telling you a heck no hard pass, don't do it?"
"Fear is your nervous system trying to protect you… Intuition is a calm, grounded, neutral, inner knowing."
"Even if things don't go perfectly, I trust myself to figure it out."
"Your job isn't to silence one because they're both valuable; it's really to know the difference and act from the right voice."
"The more that you listen to your own gut, the less that you're going to need everybody else to validate your choices."
