A candid behind-the-scenes chat about business pivots & what to do when your anxiety gets loud

Saison 3 · Épisode 7

mardi 29 septembre 2026 • Durée 32:00

In this candid, unscripted update, Lindsay and Jenni pull back the curtain on what's really happening behind their businesses right now — the pivots, the panic, and the quiet anxiety neither of them expected to still be feeling.

They talk openly about burning down and rebuilding a business model mid-year, outgrowing an offer that was finally working, and the strange grief of watching people unsubscribe or step away when you evolve. It's a real look at what it feels like to be a sensitive, intuitive entrepreneur navigating a "fire horse" kind of year — one full of big leaps, hard falls, and constant recalibration.

This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, overstimulated, or like their inner critic has gotten louder lately. Lindsay and Jenni also share the practical tools, mantras, and mindset shifts getting them through — proof that growth rarely feels as clean as it looks from the outside.

Why business pivots often come with unexpected anxiety and self-doubt
How to know when you've outgrown your current business model
Navigating the fear of losing clients or followers when your work evolves
Simple grounding tools for calming an overactive, anxious mind
The difference between building from wounding vs. building from purpose
Why "enoughness" is a moving target during seasons of growth
Practical rituals for staying regulated during high-pressure transitions
Redefining ambition and success on your own terms
How isolation makes anxiety worse — and what helps instead
Embracing uncertainty as part of sustainable, aligned growth

New paradigm publishing | Lindsay's thoughts on why influencers are walking away from book deals

Saison 3 · Épisode 6

jeudi 24 septembre 2026 • Durée 29:12

Lindsay takes a solo dive into "new paradigm publishing," unpacking four major shifts reshaping the book industry as the old traditional-publishing playbook collapses.

She explores:

why major influencers are walking away from big book deals in favor of creative ownership,
why nonfiction sales are cratering under AI-saturation,
why book deals are now happening in reverse (platform first, deal second),
and why huge follower counts no longer guarantee a book deal.

Drawing on her own journey — four traditionally published books, one self-published poetry collection, and a USA Today bestseller this year — Lindsay argues that authors must reclaim creative sovereignty rather than wait to be "chosen."

The episode closes with three tactical takeaways: only write a book if it's truly spilling out of you, build your own platform regardless of publishing path, and trust your body/intuition over industry noise.

Key Takeaways:

Why are influencers refusing traditional book deals? Creative ownership, IP control, and the reality that six-figure advances net very little after publisher cuts.
Why are nonfiction book sales declining? Market oversaturation, AI-written or AI-assisted books flooding shelves, and readers turning to podcasts/ChatGPT instead of 300-page books.
How are book deals changing in 2025? Agents and publishers now approach authors after they've built a visible platform and proven demand — not before.
Do social media followers guarantee a book deal? No — publishers have been burned by high-follower authors whose books didn't sell, so follower count no longer predicts book sales.
What kind of nonfiction books are still succeeding? Ones with distinct personality, humor, and voice — not generic advice books that could've been a blog post.
Should you write a book or choose another format? Only write a book if it's an undeniable soul-calling; otherwise consider Substack, podcasting, or short-form writing instead.

Your creative compass & the AI quandary | Why does using generative AI make me feel hungover?

Saison 3 · Épisode 5

mardi 22 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:04:52

Jenni and Lindsay dive deep into their personal, evolving relationships with generative AI, from early curiosity to a genuine "AI hangover" crisis Jenni experienced this spring when she let AI briefly drive her business strategy instead of her own intuition.

They unpack the difference between using AI for operations (scheduling, transcription, budgeting) versus creative origination (writing, strategy, art), arguing that outsourcing the latter dilutes both the work and the creator's growth.

The conversation then moves into bigger territory: the "oracle vs. robot" societal split, AI's spiritual/energetic hollowness, and the risk of AI becoming a tool of distraction and disempowerment, before landing on practical boundaries like calendar-blocking AI use, journaling rituals, and trusting your own creative compass.

Key Takeaways :

What is generative AI vs. background AI? Generative AI creates new content/strategy; background AI (search engines, accounting tools) just runs quietly in existing software.
How to know if you're overusing AI in your business: Watch for anxiety, jaw-clenching, "scrolly" addictive pull, and launching too many ideas at once that don't feel like "you."
Good uses of AI: Transcription, meeting/podcast summaries, PowerPoint/slide design (Gamma), budgeting math, recipe planning, competitive research synthesis, medical symptom research.
Bad uses of AI: Writing books/poetry, generating business strategy from scratch, building "AI clones" of coaches, writing landing page/sales copy without a human voice.
The "operations vs. art" framework: Automate logistics; never outsource origination or creative ideation.
The "oracle vs. robot" path: A societal fork between analog/intuitive/community-based living and full AI/tech integration.
Why AI-generated creative work feels "hollow": Studies show people don't retain AI-written content; it lacks human resonance and energetic exchange.
Practical boundaries: Calendar-block AI use, protect a no-phone/no-AI creative window each morning, use AI only after checking in with intuition first.

The seasonal recalibration framework: How to realign your life and business every 3 months

Saison 3 · Épisode 4

jeudi 17 septembre 2026 • Durée 21:48

In this solo episode, Jenni shares the exact framework she uses to recalibrate her life and business at every seasonal shift — inspired by dropping her kids off for their first days of preschool and first grade in the same week.

After a summer of major internal shifts (pulling her kids from camp, simplifying her family's finances, and stepping into her first season of leading a team), Jenni walks through the three-part process she teaches clients:

Foundational assessment (auditing your priorities, values, vision, commitments, and money);
Identifying the gap between your calendar and your actual priorities;
Eaking tiny, sustainable actions across six life buckets — body, spirit, creativity, relationships, work, and home.

She shares real examples from her own recalibration, including her new hourly rate calculations, therapy scheduling, and a "friend date every two weeks" commitment, plus a case for why quarterly check-ins (timed to the equinoxes and solstices) — not New Year's resolutions — are the real key to sustainable growth.

This episode is a practical companion to her book The Sustainable Solopreneur and a perfect listen for anyone feeling the pull of a new season and wondering how to actually act on it.

Too visible to ignore: The new rules of career visibility

Saison 3 · Épisode 3

mardi 15 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:06:33

Join the Visibility Vortex before September 22nd: https://www.theworldbuilders.co/visibility-vortex

Visibility is having a cultural moment and in this episode, Jenni and Lindsay unpack why so many creatives, entrepreneurs, and corporate professionals are feeling called to be seen right now, even when it feels deeply uncomfortable.

They trace their own visibility journeys, from Jenni literally crawling under a table as a child to avoid attention, to Lindsay's public relations crisis after leaving Goldman Sachs, and explore why the old rules of "get picked, then get visible" no longer apply in today's creator economy.

This episode is a candid, nervous-system-aware guide to showing up online without losing yourself.

In this episode, we discuss:

Our personal visibility origin stories — from childhood conditioning to corporate constraints, and how each of us learned to associate being seen with danger
The old paradigm vs. the new paradigm of visibility — why "wait to be picked" is dying, and "too visible to ignore" is the new model
Why AI is changing the visibility game — content overload means authenticity now outperforms polish and algorithm-gaming
The myth of the million followers — why 100 true super fans matter more than viral reach, and how to measure success by your ability to "fill a room"
Navigating projection and hate — how to hold your center when your growing visibility invites both obsession and criticism
Corporate visibility blocks — practical strategies for showing up authentically even when you fear professional consequences
The belongingness wound — why chasing likes and shares often masks a deeper need for real-life connection and community
Our current visibility blocks — an honest look at what we're each still working through, from niching struggles to fear of being disliked
Why visibility matters beyond ego — the case for creative and intuitive leaders stepping into the spotlight to help build a new, more values-aligned world

How to find soul friendships as an adult (plus our sisterhood story)

Saison 3 · Épisode 2

jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 26:29

In this mini episode, Jenni and Lindsay pull back the curtain on how their own friendship began by meeting through a mastermind group, then cementing their bond during a whirlwind, three-flights-each trip to a retreat in Florida.

They unpack why in-person connection (not just coffee chats) is often the missing ingredient in forming deep adult friendships, and share how trading skill sessions, taking spontaneous trips, and being "inconveniently" present for each other helped their friendship become a true soul-level match.

Both hosts get vulnerable about past friendship struggles, from feeling like outsiders in school to losing touch with old friend groups as their values evolved — and talk candidly about the ebb and flow of female friendships, including how unrealistic expectations can fracture otherwise good relationships.

They offer real, actionable advice for listeners craving deeper connection: put yourself in rooms with values-aligned people, say yes to the inconvenient trip, and don't be afraid of a "solitary season" before the right people show up.

The episode closes with a reflection on what makes a friendship feel truly sovereign and safe: being celebrated in your highs, supported in your lows, and never needing to shrink yourself to belong. It's part love letter to sisterhood, part practical guide for building your own soul-aligned community.

What is a quantum leap, anyway? The truth behind overnight success

Saison 3 · Épisode 1

mardi 8 septembre 2026 • Durée 55:24

In this kickoff episode of Season 3, hosts Jenni Gritters and Lindsay MacMillan break down what a "quantum leap" actually means — beyond the buzzword — exploring the physics-based definition and how it applies to real career and creative transformations.

They share deeply personal stories, from Lindsay's leap out of Goldman Sachs into a bestselling author career, to Jenni's own journey from journalism into entrepreneurship, revealing that most external "overnight successes" are actually preceded by internal shifts rooted in grief, loss, or discomfort months or even years earlier.

The conversation dives into:

the gap between an internal state change and its external results,
why grip and control can actually block momentum,
and how surrender, trust, and embodiment (through movement, travel, or even a wardrobe refresh) can accelerate the process

Jenni and Lindsay also touch on the risk of using AI to "strategize" your way into a leap, arguing it disrupts the intuitive signal needed for true transformation.

This episode sets the tone for season 3: equal parts soulful and strategic, perfect for creatives and corporate professionals alike who are sensing their own leap is coming. It's a permission slip to stop clenching and start trusting the process already in motion.

Why we’re all facing existential crises right now & how to find the point again | Lindsay MacMillan

Saison 2 · Épisode 10

jeudi 30 juillet 2026 • Durée 52:26

In this last episode of season 2, Jenni sits down with returning guest Lindsay MacMillan—five-time author, TEDx speaker, and former Goldman Sachs executive—to unpack the massive "what's the point" moments both women have hit over the past six months, from Lindsay's whirlwind book tour high to the grief of losing a close friend, and Jenni's own spiral through burnout and financial upheaval.

Together they explore why achieving major external wins (bestseller lists, big launches, TV deals) doesn't quiet the deeper existential questions, and how moving beyond ego-driven ambition into aliveness, partnership, and authentic expression is the real work of the new paradigm.

The conversation closes with an exciting announcement: Lindsay is joining as official co-host for the podcast's next season, launching in September.

Community Question: Why do the things that bring me joy make the least money?

Saison 2 · Épisode 9

mardi 28 juillet 2026 • Durée 24:34

A Council member's question—"Why do the things that bring me joy make me the least money?"—sparked a deep exploration of the beliefs and systems standing between creativity and profit. In this episode, Jenni unpacks two layers to this dilemma: the personal mindset patterns that shape what we believe is financially possible, and the outdated "old paradigm" tools we mistakenly apply to new, soul-driven ideas. She shares emerging archetypes for new paradigm profit—partnership, resource sharing, lowering the bar, and patronage—offering a fresh framework for building wealth without sacrificing joy.

Changing the unchangeable | What to do when you feel backed against a wall

Saison 2 · Épisode 8

jeudi 23 juillet 2026 • Durée 24:49

In this episode, Jenni shares a raw, personal look at how she and her husband confronted a financial and lifestyle setup that no longer served their family, walking through the exact framework she used to move from feeling stuck to actively redesigning her life. She breaks down a six-step process — from acknowledging what isn't working to naming your current season, questioning "unchangeable" conditions, mapping possible paths, grieving the losses, and finally stepping through the door — using her family's real decision to pull their kids from preschool as the throughline. It's an honest, vulnerable episode about choosing creation over pressure, honoring shifting desires, and having the courage to build a life that actually feels good.

The 6 step framework:

Notice what's not working
Evaluate the season you're in
Question whether "unchangeable" conditions are actually changeable
Paint a few possible paths and walk through them hypothetically
Grieve and feel
Step through the door with courage
