On Monday we discussed Mythopoetic Entrepreneurship and how the mythopoetic entrepreneur is here to engage their visionary process at the level of the soul. Practically speaking though, what does this look like? How does one begin the process of pulling up the stories that want to be born through you and bringing them into form in a soul-alive way?

In this episode, we explore the journey of creative entrepreneurship through the lens of soul initiation—those transformative passages where we descend into the underworld of our psyche to retrieve the medicine that wants to come through us.

We examine the stages of initiation—from the inciting incident that separates us from what's known, through the wilderness of the threshold where old identities dissolve, to the ascension and integration where we learn to actually wield our medicine with humility and skill. This episode is a call to resist the temptation of spiritual mimicry and instead earn the right to share your medicine with radical clarity and confidence through the genuine descent and return the soul requires.

This New Moon in Scorpio is a portal of reclamation. With Mercury retrograde, Lilith retrograde, and powerful trine support from Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Ceres, this lunation asks the most uncomfortable question: What are you compromising on?

Where have you been going on side quests instead of following your soul's path? What vision is on your heart that you keep making smaller, safer, more acceptable? This episode explores Gate 14—the gate of bounteousness and competence—and the shadow of compromise that keeps us enslaved to systems, narratives, and callings that aren't actually ours.

If you've been chasing what feels like a calling only to realize it was a distraction, this New Moon is calling you back to your soul's true path.

What does it mean to build a business from the level of the soul? In this episode, we break down the term "mythopoetic entrepreneurship", exploring what it means to “embark” upon creating new stories, new myths, and new constructs on Earth.

Mythopoesis comes from two Greek words: mythos (story) and poiesis (creation of something new). When we bring these together with entrepreneurship, we're talking about people who are creating not just businesses, but new cultural stories and codes that we live by—and doing so from deep connection with soul.

In this episode, we explore:

• The etymology of mythopoetic entrepreneurship and what it actually means to create new myths
• Soul fragmentation: how most people are living and creating from this place
• The flower metaphor: why mythopoetic entrepreneurs are like meadow flowers with deep, dense root systems and beautifully articulated blooms
• Reparenting and inner development: picking up where we fragmented as children and in prior lives and reweaving our internal myths
• The underworld journey: how we transcend obstacles not by problem-solving but by going deeper into soul, psyche, and nervous system
• What makes this different from traditional entrepreneurship: it's not about racing to build unicorn companies or extracting cash—it's about soul-level expression through that soul-level expression we bring new ideas and solutions that are in harmony with the Earth.

We discuss the adjacent questions that mythopoetic entrepreneurs are navigating: What is soul calling? How do you know if you're operating from soul versus ego? Is it possible to have a healthy ego construct? How do we pay our bills while staying in alignment with soul?

And we explore what this path requires: becoming familiar with the wilderness of entrepreneurship and leadership, doing our healing work in the underworld, and learning to create businesses that are rooted in the animate, living body of the Earth.

If you've ever felt that your work is about something bigger than just making money—if you sense you're here to write new stories and call new realities into being—this episode is for you.

What if your online presence isn't a brand to be managed, but an ecosystem to be tended?

In this episode, we explore a radically different way of thinking about your work online. Instead of treating your business as a personal brand that needs to be optimized, controlled, and broadcast to the masses, what if you understood yourself as a node within a living, breathing digital ecosystem—playing a unique role that only you can play?

This shift from managing to tending, from broadcasting to cultivating, changes everything about how you show up online and how you relate to the work of building your business in digital spaces.

We're standing at an incredible threshold as a species. The astrological landscape—Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius—is telling the story of massive technological transformation. Whether we're ready or not, AI, digital infrastructure, and rapid technological change are here.

This episode is about acknowledging a hard truth: opting out isn't really an option anymore

But that doesn't mean we're powerless. Instead of being reactive or trying to pump the brakes, we can rewrite our digital philosophy—claim our agency, build with intentionality, and become world builders rather than content creators hoping for algorithm scraps.

In this episode, host Daje Aloh pulls back the curtain on what's really happening between creative entrepreneurs and Instagram. This isn't about making you feel bad for using social media. It's about having an honest conversation about how the platform has changed, how it affects our nervous systems, and why your resistance to showing up online might not be about your "capacity for visibility" at all.

If you've been feeling hives on your body the moment you open Instagram, if you've been told you just need to do more somatic work to expand your visibility capacity, or if you're exhausted from pouring your heart into the algorithm only to receive crumbs in return—this episode is for you.

There's a fear that lives in the bones of wild-hearted entrepreneurs: If I get too strategic, I'll lose the magic. So many of us swing between extremes—spending months in pure intuition waiting for clients to materialize, then overcorrecting into hustle mode only to feel hollow and disconnected. But what if you didn't have to choose between strategy and soul?

In this episode, I introduce the concept of mythopoetic entrepreneurship—the practice of consciously writing a soul-level story through your work. Your business isn't just an offering; it's an expression of the prayers you've caught from the collective consciousness and the earth's desire for herself.

I walk you through the Journey of Sacred Self-Initiation, a framework rooted in the four directions that helps you integrate:

• Imagination – Your visionary capacity to see what's possible
• Intuition – Your inner knowing beyond logical explanation
• Instinct – Your embodied, somatic wisdom that keeps you alive
• Intention – Your clarity and commitment to what you're building

When you learn to work with all four elements instead of getting stuck in one mode, you stop oscillating between extremes. You build a business that has structure and spirit, strategy and soul.

This is the maturation process every visionary entrepreneur needs—and it's what we practice together inside Worldbuilding School.

In this episode of the Soft Earth and Futures podcast, host Daje introduces the six phases of world building—a foundational framework for creative entrepreneurs ready to build their businesses beyond Instagram's algorithm.

If you're tired of spinning your wheels on social media tactics that drain your soul, this episode offers a different path. Daje breaks down how to structure and grow your transformational offering in a way that honors your medicine, serves your community, and creates sustainable momentum that doesn't depend on constant visibility.

Learn why world building is the essential infrastructure for:

• Clarifying the medicine you bring and the transformation you offer
• Designing a business model that actually supports your life
• Creating a relational environment where people want to inhabit
• Building something that can hold your vision for years, not just launch cycles

This is the third episode in an impromptu mini-series on quiet quitting Instagram, exploring what it takes to phase out of platform dependence without your business falling apart. Daje shares practical wisdom on praxis over information, long-term vision over viral moments, and building foundations your future self will thank you for.

Join hosts Daje James and Sarah Belpedio for a deep exploration of the New Moon in Libra at Gate 50, which happened on Tuesday, October 21st at 5:24 AM Pacific Standard Time. This powerful lunar event marks the threshold crossing from Libra season into Scorpio season, inviting us to recalibrate our values and navigate the space between individuation and reconnection.

In this episode, we explore the Gate of Values in human design (also called "the cauldron" in the I Ching) and discuss how this new moon invites us to discern what is truly ours—our desires, values, and futures—from what belongs to others. The conversation weaves together themes of nourishment, sacred responsibility, instinct versus intuition, and the art of disconnecting to reconnect more authentically.
