This is the final episode of season 1 of The World Builders. Thank you SO MUCH for supporting this body of work. If you love it, please leave a review!

Jenni will be back in a few weeks (late June 2026) with a new season of solo episodes focused on how to meet the current moment with intuition, imagination and steadiness -- especially if you're an intuitive, deeply feeling human being.

In this episode, Jenni sits down with messaging strategist and creative writing coach Lois Mac for a conversation about what it actually takes to stop hiding and start building a body of work that feels true. They dig into the long game of finding your voice, the grief that comes with finally believing you're allowed to make money from your creativity, and why the most expressed version of you is the most powerful business strategy you have. If you've ever felt like marketing and creative expression were fundamentally at odds, Lois will absolutely change your mind.

Things you'll learn about in this episode:

• Why deep feelers, visionaries, and artists struggle most with traditional marketing
• Lois's journey from ghostwriter and agency copywriter to building her own voice and methodology
• The grief of finally believing creative work can be sustainable
• Why motherhood often sharpens ambition and reduces BS
• The difference between trying to be impressive and actually having something to say
• Why uncensored expression and strategic communication are two sides of the same coin
• The two writing practices everyone needs: reflective and expressive
• What AI is actually doing to the creative market (and why it's good news for those of us with a real point of view and relational approach)
• Why the "starving artist" identity is one of the most insidious things keeping creatives broke
• Lois's Sweet Talk methodology and how she helps people find their true message through personalized creative rituals
• The cultural shift happening right now and why this is genuinely the artist's era

You can follow Lois @ Up Club, or on Instagram, or via her Substack.

A transmission from Jenni about why so many high-achievers are drowning in a calendar they built themselves — and why simply "fixing the Tetris" will never actually work. She walks through the real reason we stay over-busy (it's not a time management problem), and the step-by-step process she used to go from coaching 22 one-to-one clients to a model that gives her more spaciousness, better client results, and a calendar she actually loves. If you've been craving ease but keep filling your schedule back up the moment things slow down, this one will hit close to home.

• Follow Jenni's Substack and watch it evolve

If you've ever felt like you're carrying the weight of your finances completely alone, this one's for you.

In this solo episode, Jenni reads the second essay in her Substack money series — a raw, honest look at the pressure grip: what it is, why high achievers and eldest daughters know it so well, and how it quietly drives poor money decisions from a place of urgency and lack. You'll walk away with two practical tools to loosen pressure's hold and start making money decisions from creativity, joy, and expansion instead.

In this episode, Jenni sits down with seven-figure business mentor and poet Amber Lilyestrom to explore what it actually takes to stop building a business from your wounds and start building from your vision.

Amber shares her raw backstory, from testifying in court at age five to leaving a decade-long career the day after her daughter was born, and how those experiences shaped the mentor she is today. You'll walk away with a new framework for understanding why your strategy isn't the problem, what your capacity is, and what it looks like to finally build a business (and a life) that is fully, unapologetically yours.

In this episode, Jenni sits down with journalist, artist, and queer liberation advocate Mike DeSocio — a longtime coaching client and collaborator — to trace his journey from Eagle Scout and buttoned-up corporate journalist to living freely and fully in Milan, Italy.

Mike opens up about the grief of leaving a six-year relationship, the cascade of structures he outgrew (monogamy, home ownership, a 9-to-5), and how choosing his desires over respectability unlocked a new level of creative and personal freedom.

This conversation is a wild permission slip to question the scaffolding in your own life, chase queer joy unapologetically, and build a world where you are completely, magnetically yourself.

If you're making money but it keeps slipping through your fingers, you're not broken -- but it is time to lean into accumulation mode.

In this episode, Jenni breaks down the two phases of financial growth — stabilization and accumulation — and what it actually takes to move between them as a creative, cyclical human. This is an honest, unglamorous money conversation about personal accountability, maturity and not just making money, but HOLDING it.

In this episode, Jenni covers:

• The difference between stabilization and accumulation — and how to know which phase you're in
• The 5 money grips (shame, self-doubt, fear, hiding, and pressure) that block you from seeing your finances clearly
• Why creatives and neurodivergent founders tend to spend money the moment they make it — and the nervous system reason behind it
• What emotional regulation, long-term thinking, and identity work actually have to do with building wealth
• The solopreneur-to-CEO shift and why it requires a completely different relationship with money
• How to start building margin so your nervous system can finally rest

In today's episode, Jenni sits down with threshold guide and somatic oracle Elisha Tichelle for a conversation that will crack your brain wide open, covering identity death, the trap of fixed personality, and why the most dangerous thing you can do right now is keep performing a version of yourself that was built from conditioning, not truth.

Elisha brings together depth psychology, somatic science, quantum physics, and sacred animism to make the case that real power isn't about strategy or status — it's about getting enough voltage into your nervous system to actually hold the fullness of who you are.

With Uranus moving into Gemini and a major paradigm shift already underway, this episode is both a warning and an invitation: the next seven years will separate the creators from the consumers, and your body is the most important tool you have.

When your revenue stalls, it's not a sign that something is wrong — it's a protective signal that your identity is shifting and you need a fallow period to discover what's next. Jenni unpacks why conscious entrepreneurs unconsciously block money when they're in transition, and how grief, identity work, and sitting in the "void" are actually essential steps to unblocking it.

The episode closes with a powerful reframe: your frequency and resonance (not your strategy) are what ultimately magnetize clients and move money, making now the time to get quiet, ask for what you need, and step into a more refined version of who you're becoming.

How to join World Builders:

• Register for the next Clearing, our free live coaching session
• Learn about resonance marketing, and how visionaries are changing course in the current moment
• Dip into The Ache, which is all about the grip you have in your body related to money
• Inquire about 1-1 coaching with Jenni via The Spiral
• Put in an application for the next round of The Council

Today's episode is a tender one, from the heart of the messy middle with Jenni Gritters. In this episode, she explores:

• power dysmorphia (why we can't accurately see our own power)
• choosing resonance marketing & coherence over algorithm-focused marketing
• being messy in public, and changing course even if it disappoints people
• why we mask our power and what happens when we get brave enough to drop that mask
• creativity as a framework for personal power
• permission slips to change your mind as you evolve
• where marketing & business are headed in the back half of 2026 and beyond

Now onto the episode: Today, Jenni sits down with Neha Ruch — founder of the Power Pause movement and author of the book by the same name — to explore the messy, nuanced identity shifts that happen when ambitious women choose to step back from, or reshape, their careers around family life.

Together they dismantle the outdated binary of "working mom vs. stay-at-home mom," making a case for the gray area in between as a place of profound power, self-trust, and reinvention. If you're in a season where your work looks different than the norm (whether due to caretaking, chronic illness, or simply a desire to do both) this conversation is a full permission slip.
