Episode 67: The Prayer — And Why Your Ego Has Been Answering It Wrong Published: May 4, 2025

Episode summary

This week Emily pulls The Prayer from The Wild Unknown Archetypes by Kim Kranz — and what comes through is direct. The reason your next step feels blocked, the reason clarity keeps slipping, the reason abundance feels just out of reach — your ego has been running the prayer. And it's been answering it wrong.

In this episode

• The full archetypal reading of The Prayer — its empowered form, its shadow, and how this energy is showing up collectively as we move out of the heavier internal energy of early spring.
• Why the ego closes off the very frequency your business needs to grow — and what it actually looks like when you're creating from fear without realizing it.
• A teaching from Kabbalah that reframes the entire conversation: what you are praying for already exists. The prayer isn't give me this. The prayer is make me the vessel to hold it.
• Why burnout and muddy direction are not failures. They are your energy communicating that something needs to reorient — and how to let that information actually move you somewhere.
• Three grounded practices for working with this energy this week.

Practices from this episode

Write your prayer for this week. One sentence. What are you asking for, not from fear, but from devotion? Write it as if the thing already exists and you are asking to become the person who can hold it.

Try bowing. Nearly every spiritual tradition makes a practice of prostration. This week, do it once. Let your body do what your mind resists. Notice what shifts when the ego has to get low.

Audit where you are creating from. Your current offers, your content, the project you keep returning to. For each one ask: am I building this from fear or from a genuine call? You need to know the difference — because your audience feels the energy you're creating from.

Ep 66: [AOTW] How to Release What You've Outgrown So Your Next Level Has Room to Grow

This episode is for leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and visionaries who want a more well world—and are willing to work for it.

We explore seasonal energetics and the spiritual side of honoring your human capacity to create something more impactful.

This week’s reading is anchored in The Medallion archetype—a symbol of what we carry, what we inherit, and what we continue to hold onto long after it’s aligned.

From there, we layer in the current energetic landscape:
A Full Moon in Scorpio and the Beltane portal.

Together, this creates a very specific invitation:
Release what you’ve outgrown so what’s ready to live can actually breathe.

In this episode, we explore:

The Medallion Archetype

• What you’re holding onto—physically, emotionally, and energetically
• How objects in your space carry stories, identity, and attachment
• The difference between something that reflects who you are vs. who you were
• How to clear your space in a way that supports your current expansion

Inherited Traditions + Work Patterns

• The unconscious rules you’re still living inside of
• The origin of the 40-hour work week and why it doesn’t support creative or visionary work
• How inherited structures can keep you stuck in patterns that no longer fit

Full Moon in Scorpio

• Illumination around control, attachment, and emotional security
• Why this release may feel intense, direct, or uncomfortable
• What it means to let go of something that once felt like safety

Beltane Energy + Creative Expansion

• Beltane as a portal of fertility, creation, and life force energy
• The shift from what was planted → to what is now ready to grow
• Why releasing is required for expansion
• The role of community and shared energy in sustaining your vision

Working With Your Energy (Not Against It)

• The relationship between structure (masculine) and creative flow (feminine)
• Why burnout happens when you override your natural rhythm
• How to identify when you’re in real creative energy vs. forcing output
• Building your work around your energy instead of an inherited system

This Week’s Invitation:

• Release what is no longer aligned in your space
• Question the structures you’ve been unconsciously following
• Open yourself to where your energy is actually alive
• Let go of what’s “dead” so what’s ready can fully expand

Ep 65: The Hidden Thing Shaping Your Goals, Your Decisions, and Your Leadership Right Now

If you have been feeling triggered, reactive, or like something underneath the surface is quietly pulling you away from what you actually want to build, this episode is going to meet you exactly where you are.

This week on Rise to Her we are working with the Shadow and Integration archetype. Not shadow work as something heavy or reserved for when everything is falling apart, but as one of the most important and most skipped parts of creation, especially right now in this spring season when you are setting intentions, planting new things, and trying to expand into your next level.

The goals you are working toward right now, the things you are planting, are being shaped by parts of you that have never fully been integrated. The version of you that learned it was safer to shrink. The story that said you were not qualified, not ready, not enough. The experience you never had time to fully process. Those parts do not disappear when you start a business or step into leadership. They redirect your energy, distort your decisions, and quietly pull you away from what you are trying to create without you even realising it is happening.

We get into why your shadow shows up as irritation, overreaction, and avoidance long before it shows up as anything logical, how to use those moments as access points to your actual power, what it means to stop fracturing your energy by rejecting parts of yourself, and why the closest thing to the light always casts the longest shadow.

This episode is shorter than most and that is intentional. The invitation this week is not to consume more. It is to be with what is actually there.

In this episode:

• What the Shadow and Integration archetype is asking of you in this season
• Why your unintegrated parts are quietly shaping the goals and decisions you are making right now
• How to use triggers, irritation, and overreaction as access points to your power
• What shadow work actually looks like for high-capacity leaders and entrepreneurs
• What becomes available in your energy, your clarity, and your leadership when you stop rejecting parts of yourself
• The question from James Hillman that points you directly to where your work is

Ep 64: Why High Achievers Don't Follow Through (Even When They Know Exactly What They Want)

You know what you want. You've known for a while. So why aren't you moving on it?

This week on Rise to Her, we're working with The Seed archetype, the phase where something is already alive in you, an idea, a direction, a next level, that hasn't come into form yet. This is the phase most driven people stall in, and what causes the stalling is almost never about discipline or strategy. It's about what happens internally the moment something starts to become real.

If you've been sitting on an idea you keep revisiting, starting things and not finishing them, feeling like you should be further along, or doing a lot without seeing real traction, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. This one is especially for those carrying a big vision or a deep desire to build something purposeful.

We get into why clarity alone doesn't create follow-through, what that restless antsy feeling is actually telling you, how unprocessed experiences slow your momentum without you realising it, and what your growth is genuinely asking from you right now. Knowing what you want and actually building it are two different acts. What lives between them is what this episode is about.

In this episode:

• Why high achievers and purpose-driven entrepreneurs can be completely clear on their goals and still not follow through
• What the restless, antsy feeling before a breakthrough actually means
• How to tell the difference between needing to process something and needing to take action
• Why growth feels most uncomfortable right before things shift
• What it means to be resourced enough to move forward
• How unprocessed experiences quietly slow your momentum
• What allowing progress looks like in real time

Nobody talks about what it actually feels like when the business you built with your family falls apart overnight. This week, Emily sits down with Jodi Scott, founder of Green Goo, a plant-based first aid and wellness brand that started in a family kitchen and grew into a nationally distributed brand. Jodi lost everything in less than 24 hours and spent 18 months fighting to buy it back.

This conversation is raw, real, and meant for anyone who has ever had to hold it together when everything around them was falling apart.

They get into the moment Jodi had to let go of her entire team, including her mom, her sister, and her husband, why asking for help is the hardest thing for people who are used to being the strong one, the simple daily practice that brought her back to clarity, and what staying rooted in your values actually looks like when things get really hard.

Ep 62: [AOTW] Why You’re Not Following Through (Even When You’re Leading Something That Matters)

This week’s archetype is The Flame.

It’s the part of you that already knows what’s your souls truth and purpose (and what you are here to create) and what isn’t. And when you’re connected to it, things get simpler.

In this episode, we sit with:

– why everything can feel heavier than it should
– how you slowly start drifting away from your own direction
– what it actually feels like to trust yourself (not just say you do)
– where you’ve been looking outside of yourself without realizing it
– what shifts when you come back to your own orientation

Inside ROOTED this week, we’re practicing how to integrate the achetypes and go beyond our limitations and beliefs that keep us stuck in self-sabotage and fear.

Looking at where your decisions are coming from, where you’ve been pulled off track, and what it looks like to return to yourself and stay there.

Ep 61: How to Tap Into God Consciousness Energy to Finally Build What You're Here to Create

You have the vision. You've had it for months, maybe longer. So why does it keep sitting there, untouched, while you wait to feel ready?

In this episode, we're working with The Creator, the first archetype in the trio of existence and the most potent energy of this spring season. This is God consciousness energy, the power to take nothing and build something entirely new from it. And right now, it is asking something very specific of you.

We get into why the most driven, capable, clear people stall out right at the threshold of making something real, why the hesitation doesn't feel like fear (it feels extremely reasonable), and what it actually means to be in creation energy versus just being busy.

In this episode:

• What the Creator archetype is and why it's the energy we need most right now in this season of disruption and change
• The difference between genuinely needing more clarity and not fully trusting what you already know
• Why you cannot create and control at the same time, and what to do instead
• How burnout actually happens (it's not from creating, it's from pushing without connection)
• The three things that keep you in creation energy without burning out: supports and structures, rest, and knowing your soul code
• Why high achievers keep pulling back the moment something starts working
• The book recommendation that will change how you think about creativity and building

EP 60: [ARCHETYPE OF THE WEEK] THE SWORD: How To Stop Overthinking and Take Action

This week’s archetype is The Sword.

If you’ve been circling a decision, waiting to feel more ready, or spreading your energy across too many things — this is the moment where that pattern gets interrupted.

The Sword is about choice. Clarity.

There’s a point where thinking becomes noise. Where waiting creates more tension than action. This episode is about recognizing where you already know what to do — and choosing it.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• why overthinking is draining your energy
• how indecision keeps you stuck in cycles
• the difference between reaction and precision
• what it actually means to “cut through the noise”
• how to make one clean decision (without needing the full plan)
• the two ways this archetype gets misused
• how to move forward without forcing or burning out

This is especially for you if:

• you feel pulled in multiple directions
• you keep saying “I’ll do it later”
• you’re doing a lot but nothing feels like it’s landing
• you’re second-guessing yourself constantly
• you know what you want… but haven’t acted on it

The core message:

You don’t need more time.
You need to choose.

Inside ROOTED, we take this further — applying these archetypes to real decisions, boundaries, leadership, and your day-to-day life so your work actually moves forward.

The Spring Equinox marks a shift in energy, where light and dark meet and a new cycle begins. For centuries, this time of year has been used to prepare, plant, and decide what is worth growing.

In this episode of Rise To Her, Emily Greenway brings that perspective into modern life. She shares how the Spring Equinox connects to your work, your direction, and the way you create.

This is a conversation about using seasonal cycles to support your career and personal growth. Not by adding more, but by working with what is already present.

If you have been feeling a build up of ideas, a pull to move in a new direction, or pressure to act on everything at once, this episode will help you ground that energy and decide what to do with it.

What You’ll Learn:

What the Spring Equinox represents and why it still matters in modern life

How seasonal cycles shape your energy, focus, and creative output

Why this time of year often brings both inspiration and pressure

What blocks tend to surface during periods of growth

How to work with momentum without overwhelming yourself

How to make decisions that support your career and long term direction

Inside This Episode:

Emily shares three ways to work with Spring Equinox energy in your life and career.

1. Clear what is in the way
Before anything new takes root, space has to be created. This includes letting go of projects, expectations, and structures that no longer support where you are heading.

2. Move what feels stuck
Spring brings movement. When something feels heavy or slow, it is a sign to shift how you are operating so energy can move again.

3. Choose what you are growing
There will be more ideas than you can act on. This is where you decide what matters and give your attention to that.

Who This Episode Is For:

This episode is for leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs who are:

Moving through a period of growth or change

Reconsidering their direction or next step

Looking for a way to make decisions with more certainty

Wanting to create without exhausting themselves

Ways to Go Deeper:

ROOTED is a seasonal living membership designed to help you work in rhythm with your life and your work.

Inside, you will learn how to:

Work with seasonal cycles in a practical way

Make decisions from your own internal guidance

Stay connected to your work without losing your energy

The Unseen: How to Recognize Spiritual Guidance in Your Work and Life

This week’s archetype reading explores The Unseen — the quiet guidance that often appears in our lives through intuition, synchronicities, and repeating patterns.

Many leaders, entrepreneurs, and thoughtful professionals experience moments where something inside them senses the next step before logic can explain it. Yet those signals are often dismissed or questioned.

In this episode, Emily explores how spiritual guidance communicates, why high achievers tend to doubt their intuition, and how learning to listen can change the way you approach work, decisions, and purpose.

As the Spring Equinox approaches, this episode invites you to create space for reflection and recognize the support already surrounding you.

• Understanding the archetype of The Unseen
• Recognizing intuition vs fear
• Signs and synchronicities as guidance
• Spiritual awareness in leadership and work
• Creating space to hear deeper insight

Inside ROOTED, the archetype of the week is explored more deeply through reflection prompts, guided practices, rituals, and seasonal workshops designed to help you apply these insights to your life and leadership. Get Started with a 7-day free trial
