Zoning Out to Scale Up: The Alchemy of Strategic Slacking for Visionary Leaders

What if the secret to scaling your empire isn’t hustling harder—but slacking smarter?

 

In this episode of the Crown Yourself podcast, Kimberly Spencer reveals the counterintuitive high-performance strategy that changed her life and her clients’: Strategic Slacking. From walking meditations to car rides that birth million-dollar ideas, this episode is your permission slip to stop doing and start receiving.

 

Kimberly shares a personal story about guiding a high-achieving client out of mental overload and into embodied vision. The solution? A radical reclamation of space—30 minutes a day to not do. This is not laziness. This is sovereign leadership in action. It’s activating the brain’s “default mode network” to connect with higher consciousness, esoteric wisdom, and innovative downloads that transform your business and life.

 

If you're juggling too many projects, caught in your inbox, or doom-scrolling your creativity away—this episode will shake your paradigm. Kimberly teaches you how to name your bottleneck, ask better questions, set transformational intentions, and allow wisdom to drop in—without forcing anything.

 

Strategic slacking isn’t passive. It’s a sacred act of leadership alchemy.

 

Tune in, and start leading like the queen you are—clear, courageous, and cosmically plugged in

 

Enjoy, sovereigns!
