E #462: [Part III] Plan B Slapped Me in the Face - The Year I Applied for 47 Jobs

In part three of The Truth About Building a Business That's Real, Raw, and Still Rising, Kehla dives deep into one of the most humbling—and hidden—chapters of her entrepreneurial journey: the year she applied for 47 jobs.

This episode isn’t just about bouncing between jobs and business—it’s about the energetic split we rarely acknowledge. From loathing her role at Lululemon to getting a remote job at a fitness tech company, to quitting prematurely in the name of “going all in,” Kehla reveals the costly mindset of spiritual bypassing, entitlement, and toxic narratives like “trust the universe and leap.”

She unpacks the chaos of 2022–2023: working on a 7-figure coach’s crumbling team, launching offers that flopped, applying for jobs that ghosted her, and chasing success without structure, strategy, or nervous system stability.

This isn’t just a story about failure—this is a wake-up call about what it really takes to build a business when your nervous system is shot, your strategy is reactive, and your self-trust is tied to how much effort you’re exerting. With fierce honesty, Kehla challenges the fantasy of the “all-in entrepreneur” and redefines what it actually means to commit to your business—beyond identity, ego, or aesthetic.

🔑 Main takeaway: The universe will have your back—but never in the way you expect.

E #461: [Part II] From the Field to the Freeze - The Identity Crisis in Disguise

In part two of this raw and unfiltered four-part series The Truth About Building a Business That’s Real, Raw, and Still Rising, Kehla shares the often-hidden journey of identity unraveling behind building a spiritual, service-based business.

This episode pulls back the curtain on what it really looked like to go from being an elite-level rugby athlete, to burning out in her business, to spiralling through certification after certification in search of enough-ness. With vulnerability and clarity, she traces the energetic thread from teacher to trainer to spiritual coach to Human Design & Gene Keys business guide—and how each identity both helped and hindered her evolution.

Kehla breaks down what no one tells you about the trap of over-educating, the pressure of spiritual performance, and the reality that your new identity isn’t something handed to you—it’s something you claim again and again in the quiet moments no one sees.

You’ll hear how her podcast became a mirror of her own evolution, how the wrong mentorship almost made her quit before she ever really began, and how the Human Design and Gene Keys finally gave her the language to recognize the identity that had been there all along.

This is not just a story of change. It’s a wake-up call for anyone secretly freezing in their business, clinging to outdated roles, waiting for permission to step into their next level.

Question for contemplation:
Where are you still trying to earn your worth through performance instead of presence?

E #460: [Part I] The Breakdown Before the Breakthrough - Bali, Debt & the Lies I Told Myself

In Part I of her 4-part series, The Truth About Building a Business That’s Real, Raw, and Still Rising, Kehla shares the story of one of the darkest, most pivotal moments in her entrepreneurial journey.

In spring 2023, she flew to Bali chasing alignment, freedom, and the belief that the universe would reward her bravery. But behind the dreamy content and curated launch was over $30K of debt, financial avoidance, and a growing disconnect from reality.

This episode unpacks the spiritual bypassing that often hides behind “alignment,” the breakdown moment that exposed her blind spots, and the conversation with her fiancé that forced her to finally get honest about what wasn’t working.

Listeners will hear:
– Why her business wasn’t converting despite “doing all the right things”
– The cost of masking avoidance with mindset work
– The shame of secret debt and the power of radical responsibility
– How this rock-bottom moment birthed her first six-figure offer

Kehla invites listeners to reflect on one powerful question:
What truth are you currently avoiding in the name of alignment?

This is not just an episode—it’s a permission slip to stop pretending, start owning your reality, and rise for real.

E #458: Scaling Your Business Without Burning Out: My Journey with Biotypes, HD & Gene Keys

In this deeply personal solo episode, Kehla shares the powerful shift that occurred when she hit pause on her usual business rhythm and chose to lead from her body instead of her calendar. After a whirlwind four months filled with grief, launches, illness, and international travel, she realized that even loving your work doesn't mean you’re immune to burnout.

Kehla explores how tools like Human Design, the Gene Keys (specifically Gene Key 52 in her Culture sphere and 48 in Attraction), PH360 Biotypes, Feng Shui, seasonal color analysis, Kibbe body types, and Kitchener essence have supported her in recalibrating her business and personal life.

You'll will walk away with practical insights on how to shift from stress to restraint, stop gaslighting their natural rhythm, and use systems as tools—not rules—for a life and business that actually feels good.
