Soulful CEO Podcast

You can do everything right — nail your positioning, build a powerful brand, create a full offer ecosystem — and still end up years down the road in a business that pays you well and quietly drains you. That’s not a legacy-level business. That’s a golden cage.

In this episode, Kristin goes one layer beneath the strategy to the thing that has to come first: your Big Idea. The one central idea that fuels everything you do, keeps you from burning out, and becomes the invisible thread running through your brand, your content, and your client work.

WHAT YOU’LL HEAR

• Why the Big Idea has to come before any positioning or strategy work
• Kristin’s personal Big Idea and the philosophy behind Soulful CEO
• The real cause of entrepreneurial burnout — and why we’ve been misdiagnosing it
• The Soul Work Method: a 4-quadrant framework for mapping income + impact
• The question you need to answer before you build your Category of One

In this episode of The Soulful CEO Podcast, Dr. Kieva Hranchuk, an Ivy League-trained behavioral scientist and buyer behaviour expert, joins Kristin Constable to explore the psychology behind why buyers say yes and why, even when your offer is exactly what someone needs, they still walk away. Together, they break down the science of decision-making and how you can architect a buying experience that moves your ideal clients from aware to enrolled without manipulation, pressure, or convincing.

What You'll Hear

• Why losing a sales conversation usually has nothing to do with your offer, your price, or your ability to sell and what behavioral science says is actually happening
• The problem with the traditional marketing funnel and why it skips the psychological states buyers actually move through before they feel safe saying yes
• What resonance really means in sales (and why being "relatable" is one of the worst pieces of advice on the internet)
• How to build trust by showing your process, not just your results, and why this matters more now than it ever has
• The difference between authentic urgency and the manufactured scarcity tactics that repel the exact buyers you want
• Why reciprocity outranks likability in the decision to buy, and what that means for your content strategy
• How to build momentum toward yes through micro decisions long before you ever make an offer
• Why repelling the wrong buyers isn't just ethical, it's essential for the long-term culture and reputation of your brand

In this episode of The Soulful CEO Path, Yorkshire-born storyteller and experience designer Emily Shimwell joins Kristin Constable to talk about what it really takes to bring a big vision to life — even when you’ve never done it before.

Emily is the founder of Dine Wilder and co-founder of Graze Wilder, two ventures united by her love of community, connection, and unforgettable experiences. Known for transforming gatherings into soul-stirring moments of meaning, Emily doesn’t just set beautiful tables — she creates moments that move people.

With more than 20 years of experience teaching, speaking, and coaching, Heather helps high-achieving women expand their capacity for success by integrating mindset, emotional intelligence, and nervous-system regulation so their drive no longer comes at the expense of their well-being.

Together, Kristin and Heather unpack how identity, worthiness, and productivity often intertwine for women entrepreneurs, and why slowing down is not weakness—it’s wisdom.
