Rise To Her

The world feels heavy right now. The political climate, the burnout, the noise — and you're trying to build something meaningful inside all of it. This episode is about why that contrast is actually your most powerful tool for clarity. 

We pulled the Gem archetype this week. Your inner treasure.

The specific thing your soul was designed to do — not the version someone else's business model told you to chase, the real one. And finding it starts with understanding the difference between comparison and contrast, why the darkness in the world right now is producing signal if you know how to listen, and how the patriarchal operating system has been keeping you too depleted to hear it. 

This episode gets into the biology of why comparison shuts your clarity down, how the Gem is produced in contrast (including the contrast of watching a broken system do its thing), and the practical ways to start decoding what's actually yours versus what's a core need running the show. 

If you've been building from pressure instead of purpose, this is the episode. 

In this episode: 

• What the Gem archetype is and why most of us have been looking for it in the wrong places 

• The difference between comparison and contrast — and why one produces clarity while the other produces cortisol 

• Why the political climate and the patriarchal system are the sharpest contrast available to you right now 

• How to metabolize the darkness instead of being depleted by it 

• The core needs cycle: how survival patterns masquerade as business decisions 

• Three practical ways to find your Gem this week — including the irritation audit 

• The divine masculine and feminine in building: why you need both and what breaks down without them 

• Soul Code Extraction: what it is and when it's the right next step

This week's energy reading pulled The Self from The Wild Unknown Archetypes, and it's one of the most direct cards in the deck for burnout recovery, stress management, and purposeful living. 

If you've been running on empty, second-guessing what you actually want, or working harder than ever and still feeling disconnected from why you started, this episode is about what's underneath all of that. The Self archetype shows up as a human silhouette with a pearl at the center and a full rainbow behind it. No face. No features. Just presence and light moving outward from the inside. That image is the whole teaching. 

This episode covers:

• Why burnout often starts long before your schedule gets overwhelming
• The hidden cost of constantly editing yourself to fit expectations
• How one simple question can instantly shift the way you handle stress and pressure
• A powerful mirror practice to help you reclaim your desires, confidence, and permission to grow

If you've been feeling stretched thin, disconnected from yourself, or stuck waiting for permission to step into more, this episode will help you recognize what's been holding you back, and what changes when you stop shrinking yourself to survive.

Topics covered: burnout recovery for entrepreneurs, stress management for leaders, witness consciousness, purposeful living, archetypal wisdom, nervous system regulation, burnout prevention, spiritual entrepreneurship, energetic alignment.

If you've ever said "that's just not me" about a strategy, a creative outlet, or a way of leading, this episode is for you. 

This week's intuitive reading pulled The Mask archetype, and before you write it off as a card about inauthenticity, stay with us. Because what this archetype is actually revealing is that the version of yourself you've been calling "authentic" might just be the version you were told was acceptable. 

In this episode we cover: 

• Why your commitment to authenticity might be rooted in fear, not truth 

• How pruning your identity to fit a "personal brand" is quietly cutting off your creativity 

• The difference between energetic alignment and ego resistance (and how to tell them apart) 

• How to use The Mask archetype to access the fuller, more creative, more abundant version of yourself 

• Why spiritual leaders and entrepreneurs burn out when they play too narrow a version of themselves 

• The Zen koan that asks you to meet your original face, before the conditioning, before the roles, before the rules

The Mother archetype and feminine business energy — this week's reading pulled The Mother from The Wild Unknown Archetypes, and she landed the day before Mother's Day.

If your business feels stuck, your body feels depleted, or your creativity feels tight, this is the episode. The Mother archetype lives in all of us, and right now she is asking a direct question: are you nourishing what you are building, or are you suffocating it?

This episode covers the full archetypal reading of The Mother, the shadow side of over-gripping your vision, how your early experience of being mothered is silently shaping your business and leadership today, and what burnout and depletion are actually signaling about your relationship to feminine energy and source.

We also go into the matriarchal principle — power with, not power over — and how that changes everything about the way you create, lead, and grow.

Practices in this episode: nourishment audit, the grip inventory, and the mother imprint reflection.

This is feminine business, spiritual entrepreneurship, and archetypal wisdom for the conscious human who is done forcing their way through building something they know their soul was called here to create.

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.
