Have you ever noticed that when you're feeling scattered internally, your business seems to attract the most chaotic clients? I used to think this was just bad luck until I started paying attention to the pattern. Every time I was overwhelmed, saying yes when I meant no, or neglecting my own basic needs, I'd somehow magnetize clients who did the exact same thing.

It turns out there's something much deeper happening than just coincidence. This episode explores the concept of energetic incongruency—how the internal conflicts we carry show up as very real challenges in our external world. We're talking about those hidden fractures between what we say we value and how we actually behave, and why these incongruencies might be the reason you keep hitting the same walls in business.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

  • How incongruent messaging goes beyond just your marketing copy and why authentic communication that truly aligns with your personality is the antidote to attracting misaligned clients who treat your content like white noise.
  • The mirror effect in client relationships and how your internal state of anxiety, impatience, or cognitive dissonance directly influences the type of people and situations you attract into your business sphere.
  • Why recurring patterns like boundary issues, high return rates, or clients who can't follow through might not be about your business strategy at all but rather reflections of unresolved internal conflicts that need your attention first.
  • The self-sacrifice trap that's sabotaging your success and how seemingly small acts like skipping meals, ignoring your need for rest, or being impeccable with your word creates energetic fractures that clients unconsciously pick up on and mirror back to you.
