The 7 Hells of Business: Slaying Demons on Your Path to Sovereign Leadership

What if the demons holding back your business aren’t external... but archetypal shadows lurking within?

 

In this fiery, soul-baring episode of The Crown Yourself Podcast, Kimberly cracks open the hidden truths behind business stagnation, burnout, and shame—and reveals how the 7 Hells of Business can become the very catalysts for conscious leadership and sustainable success.

Blending Dante’s Inferno, esoteric wisdom, and 17+ years of entrepreneurial grit, Kimberly takes you on a journey through the archetypes of Pride, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth—not as sins, but as growth portals. With raw storytelling (yes, including her $40K cashflow crunch and team restructuring), Kimberly dismantles the illusion of Instagram-perfect empires and invites you to reclaim your power through radical transparency, grounded strategy, and sovereign alignment.

 

Whether you're navigating a “Tower moment” or feeling the quiet ache of unprocessed grief in business, this episode offers spiritual strategy, practical wisdom, and fierce compassion for high-achieving entrepreneurs who refuse to settle.

 

🔥 Tune in to cast out the shadows, reclaim your throne, and scale in soul-led sovereignty.

 

Enjoy, sovereigns!
