If you’ve been feeling heavy, scattered, exhausted, overly emotional, or just plain off — you’re not imagining it. The cosmic weather has been loud, and for entrepreneurs, that often shows up in our leadership, visibility, creativity, and confidence.

In this episode, I’m joined by Kathy Bochonko, intuitive Human Design mentor and guide to Radical Self-Trust, for an impromptu but deeply relevant conversation about navigating intense energetic seasons — and how they impact the way we lead, create, make decisions, and show up in our businesses.

We explore how the current energetic climate (sometimes called the “cosmic weather”) can show up as exhaustion, lack of clarity, emotional intensity, or pressure to perform — and why trying to push through often backfires.

We talk about:

• what this season of energy is bringing up for entrepreneurs

• why some weeks everything flows… and other weeks feel like molasses

• how emotional waves impact decision-making, productivity, and visibility

• the pressure to perform — in business, during the holidays, and online

• why Projectors burn out trying to keep up with “business as usual

• comparison culture, unrealistic income claims, and the shame spiral they trigger

• using curiosity instead of confusion when things feel uncertain

• how to stop shape-shifting your identity to match expectations

• the peach ice cream analogy that will make you rethink your entire brand

• why money stops flowing when we’re in survival mode — and what actually opens creativity

• what Radical Self-Trust looks like in real time, not just theory

This episode is equal parts grounding, perspective-shifting, and “oh thank God it’s not just me!”

If you’re craving a way to lead your business with more alignment, less pressure, and a lot more self-trust — this conversation is the exhale you didn’t know you needed.
