What if the patterns, trauma, and programming holding you back in business…aren’t even yours?

In this episode of Unlearn the Crap & Level UP, I sit down with Lori Ellen Miller (from All Me By Design) to excavate how ancestral conditioning, generational beliefs, and cultural stories sneak into your brain, body, and business decisions. Lori gets raw about realizing she’d been operating under invisible programming and what it took to start undoing it.

If you’ve ever launched, pivoted, or scaled only to hit recurring walls…this conversation is for you. We unpack:

Why healing feels never-ending (and how to move through it)

How “unowned” trauma shows up in revenue, boundaries, offers, and visibility

The permission to admit you’re still unlearning

Real tools to shift your energy so your business can breathe

✨ Soul Led Summit, October 9–11, 2025 Join us live as I present Finally — my podcast automation system — and Lori teaches Soul Cartography. This summit is designed for soul-led business owners ready to collapse the grind and speed up their success.

💬 Memorable Quotes From Kathy

“What if the crap you’re carrying isn’t even yours — and it’s blocking your business growth?”

“Unlearning isn’t a finish line. It’s a lifelong level-up.”

“Starting a business is scary, but when you lead with your soul, success comes faster than you think.”

From Lori Ellen

“You think you’ve cleared it all, and then another layer shows up. That doesn’t mean you failed — it means you’re human.”

“So much of what runs our lives isn’t chosen by us. It’s inherited, programmed, and unconscious — until we decide to unlearn it.”

“Soul Cartography is about finding your true map, so you stop building a business on borrowed beliefs.”

The Myths of Healing: Why Unlearning is the Real Path to Empowerment

Healing isn’t a straight line—it’s a messy, layered journey full of myths that keep us stuck. In this special Unlearning Curve segment of the Unlearn the Crap & Level UP Podcast, Kathy Baldwin dives deep into the cultural lies we’ve been fed about what it means to “heal.”

So many women are taught that healing is about fixing ourselves, being endlessly resilient, or putting everyone else’s needs ahead of our own. But what if the truth is the opposite? Kathy shares how unlearning those patterns—people-pleasing, self-sacrifice, and the belief that pain must always be carried—can actually open the door to freedom.

In honor of Women’s Empowerment Month (September 2025), this conversation is both a wake-up call and a relief. You’ll hear why menopause, transitions, and breakdowns aren’t signs of weakness but invitations to step into your most authentic power. Kathy reveals how her own journey through burnout, boundaries, and rebuilding became the foundation for her books, her podcast, and the Finally Podcast Automation System™ that helps creators reclaim their voice without burning out.

✨ If you’ve ever felt like you’re “behind” on your healing, this episode reminds you: you are not broken, you are becoming.

What if your body is holding the very answers you’ve been searching for?

In this episode, Kathy Baldwin speaks with Hanna Kok, a medical intuitive from South Africa who has walked through the depths of suffering—including the tragic murder of her husband—and discovered the profound truth that our greatest power lies within us.

Hanna shares how trauma, grief, and physical symptoms often mirror the stories we haven’t spoken, and how learning to listen to the body opens the door to true healing.

If you’ve ever ignored your body’s signals, felt powerless in the face of pain, or wondered how to reconnect with your inner wisdom, this conversation will remind you of the strength and clarity that already live inside you.
