#142 When You Stop Hiding: Identity, Image, and TRUTH with Celeste Moore

What if the image you're projecting is “perfect,” but the identity underneath is even better?

Celeste Moore teaches people how to align their external presentation with their authentic self. 

But she only learned how to do this after decades of performing identities that weren't hers. 

From childhood trauma to toxic relationships to living a double life, Celeste survived by becoming whoever she thought she needed to be.

This episode is about the journey from performance to presence:

🔹 How sexual trauma at four years old created a lifelong pattern of pleasing and performing
🔹 The breaking point that forced her to choose between survival mode and self-love
🔹 Why softening into the feminine felt like weakness until she understood its strength
🔹 The difference between projecting an image and embodying your truth

Listen if you're ready to stop hiding behind the version of you that you created to stay safe and be accepted.

Celeste’s Bio

For a long time, I thought power came from looking the part.

So I styled myself to be accepted to earn money, to gain respect, to get a seat at tables where I was often

the only woman.

It worked... until it didn’t.

Because dressing for validation is still just survival.

It’s image without embodiment. And it leaves even the most accomplished women wondering why they

still feel invisible.

That was me until I stopped performing and started claiming.

I got radically honest about who I was becoming and built a presence that matched her.

Not who the world said I should be but the woman I actually am.

That transformation changed my life. And now it changes my clients’.

Today, I work with high-achieving entrepreneurs, public figures, and industry leaders ready to command

presence at their next level.

They’re not just after polish, they want precision. Alignment. Influence.

And that’s what I deliver.

I've styled TEDx speakers, luxury founders, celebrities and award-winning CEOs.

My work has been featured in Forbes, Fox News, The Wall Street Times, and on red carpets and stages

where every detail matters.

When New York Fashion Week calls, I’m there not to watch, but to lead.

And when clients are preparing for national press, high-stakes keynotes, or brand reinventions, I’m the one

they trust to make sure they’re seen for who they truly are.

Because when your image is in full alignment with your identity, you don’t just look the part.

You become undeniable.

 

#141 Doing More Will Never Set you Free

The to-do list isn't the enemy. Your relationship with it is.

You know the pattern. Spin it in your brain. It feels like 500 things. But when  you write it down. It’s only five things. And even when you finish, there's no relief. Just more tasks. More pressure. More proof that you'll never catch up.

 

Genea shares a story about being trapped in a closet as a child at night. Literally tied up. Waiting for light under the door. And what she discovered about freedom in that moment changes everything about how you approach your overwhelm today.

 

Here's what opens up in this episode:

🔹 The invisible conflict that makes your to-do list feel endless

🔹 What actually happens when you access freedom first, then work

🔹 Why your nervous system keeps you in perpetual doing mode

🔹 The practice that breaks the overwhelm cycle for good

 

Doing more will never set you free. But this episode will show you what actually does. Listen or watch now.

#140 He had Everything He Wanted ... Except Peace with Ed Reay

What happens when you get the life everyone else wants and still feel empty?

Ed Reay moved to London to live with his girlfriend. He made more money than he ever had by multiples. Business class flights to Dubai. Five star hotels for weeks. Booking spontaneous trips to Amsterdam on New Year's Day just because he could. Industry leaders asking him to speak on their stages. Clients paying premium rates for his copywriting.

 

On paper, it was his best year ever. Internally, it was one of his worst. He kept chasing the next milestone, thinking that would finally make him feel successful. He joined masterminds to see what everyone else was doing so he could copy them. He was living outside of himself, trying to puppeteer his way through a life that looked perfect but felt hollow.

 

Genea and Ed go deep on:

🔹 The concept of "cliff top" and why achieving everything can feel worse than having nothing

 

🔹 How people pleasing and external validation became his identity

 

🔹 Why he couldn't access flow state no matter how much success he created

 

🔹 The moment he chose to lose and how that led to actually finding himself

 

Watch or listen now. This one will stay with you.

#139 Why You Never Get What You Want (And Why It Falls Apart When You Do)

What if joy could last … without worrying that it’ll end?

You've done the work. You've built the business, shown up for the relationships, pushed yourself to grow.

But there's this feeling you can't shake.

Like something bad is waiting on the other side of success.

Like the moment you finally relax, it's all going to fall apart.

Genea calls this the upside-down pattern.

It's when your nervous system learned early on that stepping into what you want comes with consequences (and not the good kind). 

So now, even though you're working toward your goals, your subconscious is working just as hard to make sure you never actually get there. Or if you do, you lose it.

 

This episode unpacks:

🔹 The two-year-old moment that wired Genea's brain to expect punishment after joy

🔹 Why you might be using shame to complete the loop your body expects

🔹 The leadership training that forced her to choose her real desires over safety

🔹 What it actually takes to stop fearing the things that light you up

This isn't about working harder or wanting it more.

It's about unwinding the hidden fear that's been running the show since you were too young to understand what was happening.

#138 Double the Income, But feeling Half Alive with Jeff Glauser

Success isn't supposed to feel like this.

That's what Jeff Glauser kept thinking as he climbed the ladder, checked the boxes, and built the life that looked good from the outside. But inside? He was exhausted. Angry. Feeling like nothing he did was enough to “get him there.”.

From latchkey kid to sports journalist to film school to corporate burnout, Jeff's story is about the cost of chasing a definition of success that was never really his. It's also about what happens when you finally give yourself permission to rewrite it.

In this open and grounded conversation, you'll hear:

🔹 The pattern of being on the outskirts that followed him from childhood into every career move

🔹 Why making twice the money left him more miserable than he'd ever been

🔹 How imposter syndrome shows up when you're living someone else's version of your dream

🔹 What health, happiness, and peace feel like when you stop tying your worth to your income

This episode is for anyone who's ever wondered if they're doing it wrong because it doesn't feel right. Spoiler: you're not. You're just it right for someone else … not you.

#137 Why You Keep Changing Everything, But Nothing Actually Changes

Most people spend their whole lives changing everything except the thing that actually matters.

They switch environments. Learn new skills. Even shift their beliefs.

But the deeper patterns stay untouched.

Genea maps out the six levels of change and shows you exactly where transformation breaks down and where it finally takes root.

Here's what unfolds:

🔹 The neurological anchors that keep pulling you back to old patterns even in new places

🔹 The hidden beliefs running your life that were locked in before age 10

🔹 How your being "nice" or "strong" might be a survival strategy blocking the ease and joy you're working so hard to create

🔹 The one shift that ripples down into every other area of your life and helped Genea lose 45 pounds without obsessing or grinding

This episode is for you if you've done the work but you're still not feeling the freedom.

#136 Trust the Spark Before You Have the Plan with CEO, Melissa Perlman

You don't need to know how. You just need to say yes.

Melissa Perlman didn't have construction experience, speak Spanish, or a detailed business plan when she moved to Tulum after 9/11.

She had a spark.

A vision.

And the courage to follow breadcrumbs instead of blueprints.

That spark became Amansala, one of Tulum's most iconic wellness destinations.

Genea and Melissa dive into:

🔹 The moment she negotiated her first hotel on a napkin with a man who couldn't write his own name

🔹 Why she chose to move forward after being forcibly removed from the property she'd rebuilt

🔹 How following the frequency of joy reveals opportunities that control never could

🔹 The practice of trusting small decisions so you can trust the big ones

In this conversation, Genea and Melissa explore what it means to build from joy, experience some big losses, but keep trusting yourself anyway.

About Melissa:

Melissa Perlman is the founder of Amansala, one of Tulum’s most iconic boutique hotels and wellness retreat destinations. A pioneer in experiential travel, she created Bikini Bootcamp, a signature program that has attracted celebrities, CEOs, and wellness seekers from around the world—and helped put Tulum on the global wellness map.

What began as a simple concept—a few beachside rooms and a vision for transformation—grew into a multimillion-dollar hospitality brand rooted in authenticity, community, and conscious living.

Melissa built her business from the ground up, navigating real estate challenges, local politics, legal battles, and the unique complexities of building in Mexico—all while staying true to her mission of creating spaces that inspire personal growth and connection. After being pushed out of her original location—a property she developed by hand—Melissa had to decide whether to walk away or rebuild. She chose to stay, and that decision became the turning point. She not only rebuilt Amansala stronger, but expanded its offerings, refined the brand, and emerged as a thought leader in the boutique wellness space.

Melissa brings a raw and honest perspective to entrepreneurship—sharing how to overcome setbacks, stay financially independent, build a loyal team, and scale without selling out. Today, Amansala continues to thrive under her leadership, with plans to expand globally.

#135 Why Being Selfish is the Most Generous Thing You Can Do

You've been taught that being selfish is bad. That putting others first is virtuous.

That sacrifice is the path to love, respect, and success.

But here's the truth: that mindset is killing your business, your relationships, and your joy.

In this bold episode, Genea dismantles the "service to others" trap and reveals why putting yourself first is the most generous thing you can do.

In this episode, you'll hear:

🔹 The painful conditioning that turned you into a slave to everyone else's expectations
🔹 Why the "employee mindset" keeps you from building the business (and life) you actually want
🔹 The real reason shame and anxiety show up when you try to step into who you are
🔹 How choosing yourself first creates overflow—the kind that actually gives back to the world

If you've ever felt exhausted from being "the strong one," this episode will help you see why breaking free from that pattern is the foundation of everything you want.

Listen now and start reclaiming your autonomy.

#134 From Smart to Human: Speak So People Actually Listen with Message Design Consultant, Brian Miller

Being smart isn't the problem. 

You can be brilliant and still invisible.

What may be super clear to you doesn’t always resonate to others.

 And as a result, people don’t remember or care about what you have to say.

Genea talks with Brian Miller, a message design expert who teaches people how to explain big ideas in ways that actually stick. Brian works with scientists, researchers, and industry leaders, but the lessons here? They're for anyone who needs people to understand them.

Entrepreneurs. Leaders. Creatives. Coaches. Experts. And even Parents.  

If you've got something to say and people aren't getting it, this episode is for you.

This conversation gets real about communication:

🔹 Why people don't ask questions when they're lost (and how you're losing them in silence)
🔹 The survival bias that tricks you into thinking you're landing the conversation when you're not
🔹 How saying yes to uncomfortable opportunities creates unexpected transformation
🔹 The one shift that makes your message spread: Audience First, Always

This matters because communication is a major cornerstone to getting what you want out of life and business. Your business only grows when others can talk about what you do. If they don't understand you, they can't share you. And if they can't share you, your message dies with them.

Listen and learn how to make your words move people.

#133 Your Decision-Making Mechanism Is Why Your Life (And Business) Still Feels Like a Six

On the surface, life and business look good. You're checking all the boxes. But something still feels off.

In this episode, Genea reveals why most entrepreneurs feel like they're living a "level 6 (ir lower) life" even when they've achieved success on paper. 

The issue isn't your strategy, your work ethic, or your talent. 

It's your decision-making mechanism … the invisible autopilot system that's been running your life since childhood.

Genea walks you through:

🔹 The uncomfortable truth about why your life recreates the same emotional patterns from childhood … and how that's keeping your business at a ceiling

🔹 What happens when you make decisions from obligation instead of alignment … and why that creates more frustration and headaches

🔹 The mindset trap that makes you fail even when you have the BEST coaches, mentors, and strategies

🔹 How to know if you're ready to actually change (hint: you'll feel something, and it won't be comfortable)

If you've been working hard, following the rules, and still feeling like something's missing, this episode will help you understand what's really going on beneath the surface.

Listen now to discover how to shift from autopilot to intentional decision-making … and finally create the level 10 life you've been chasing.

#132 Money Bulimia: Your Revenue is Growing, but You're Losing Profits with Kimberly Spencer

You can grow revenue and still go broke.

In this episode, Genea sits down with Kimberly Spencer to unpack a pattern most entrepreneurs don't see coming: money bulimia. 

It's the cycle of bringing in more revenue while watching profits vanish, expenses pile up, and cash flow disappear. 

Kimberly knows this pattern intimately because she lived it first with food, then with relationships, and finally with business. 

She traced it back to childhood chaos, the need to control what felt uncontrollable, and a deep-seated belief that she didn't deserve to keep what she earned.

This conversation goes beneath strategy and into the subconscious drivers that keep capable entrepreneurs repeating the same financial patterns over and over.

You'll hear:

🔹 Why childhood patterns dictate how you handle money in business

🔹 How bulimia became the blueprint for business self-sabotage

🔹 How Kimberly went from $115 in annual revenue to scaling multiple six figures by addressing the real problem

🔹 What happens when you finally trust yourself instead of repeating what looks good on paper

If your business feels like a cycle of progress and loss, this episode will help you see the pattern you've been repeating and what it takes to break it.

#131 Trauma Is Not Your Truth: Reclaiming Freedom in Life + Business

Most people live a life defined by trauma … without even knowing it. 

In this episode, Genea dismantles the misconceptions around trauma. 

She reveals why most people stay trapped in cycles that prevent them from ever getting what they want. 

She exposes how unprocessed emotions from overwhelming events create false stories about who we are. 

And how these stories end up running our businesses, relationships, and entire lives.

Genea gets raw about trauma. And gives you a clear path to not letting it be the excuse as to why your life is not the way you want it to be.  

She breaks down what happens to your nervous system when you experience traumatic events. And how it keeps you focused on what you don't want instead of what you want to create.

This conversation dives deep into:

🔹 The moment your nervous system decided you couldn't handle something and why it's still protecting you from it

 🔹 The difference between trauma emotions and the shame stories we build around them

🔹 Why talking about trauma without identifying and processing the root emotions just reinforces the prison 

🔹 The three-stage journey from emotional overwhelm to complete neutrality and freedom

If you've ever felt like your past is secretly running your present, this episode will help you reclaim the freedom to be who you actually are.

#130 The Dark Side of Rapid Success and How to Avoid It with Nik Agharkar

Most entrepreneurs dream of the windfall moment when everything takes off. 

Nik Agharkar lived it and discovered why it's not always a dream come true.

His innovative approach to client acquisition exploded his law practice from nothing to $5M in nine months. 

But success without structure became his nightmare. 

The very growth he'd fought for forced him to sell his practice and become an employee again. 

Now, Nik's playing an entirely different game. 

In this honest conversation with Genea, he shares what he's learned about sustainable growth versus unsustainable speed.

 

The insights that emerged from this conversation:

🔹 The anger and hubris that fueled his first business leap and nearly destroyed it

🔹 Why the dopamine hit of constant growth becomes an addiction that blinds you to problems

🔹 The mindset shift from "I'll show them" to "what do I actually want?" 

🔹 How building slowly with intention creates more sustainable freedom than racing to scale

Listen, if you've ever wondered whether there's a way to grow that doesn't require sacrificing everything else you care about.

#129 Stop Hiding: The Truth About Who You Really Are

Most successful people are living someone else's version of their life without even realizing it.

You know exactly who you're supposed to be in every situation.

You've learned to tone down your excitement, dim your personality, and hide the parts that might make others uncomfortable.

The problem?

You've gotten so good at being what everyone needs that you've completely lost touch with what lights you up.

Genea dives deep into why high-achievers often feel empty despite external success and how the "hologram self" we create for safety actually blocks us from experiencing genuine fulfillment in business and life.

🔹 Why authenticity has been scientifically measured as 400 times more powerful than love 

🔹 The cost of protecting everyone else from your real personality and desires 

🔹 How your authentic frequency attracts what brings you joy, freedom, love, and peace automatically 

🔹 The life and world shift that happens when you finally show up as yourself

This episode is for entrepreneurs who are tired of accommodating everyone else and ready to claim a life and business that actually gives them the joy, satisfaction, and freedom they deserve.

#127 The Trailblazer Truth Nobody Talks About

Building something the world doesn't understand requires more than strategy and determination.

It requires the internal capacity to withstand loss, criticism, and the constant voice in your head saying you should just do what everyone else is doing.

Most entrepreneurs think they want to be trailblazers until they face the real cost.

In this episode, Genea reveals the messy, powerful truth about what it takes to carve your own path and why most people give up before they ever really begin.

Here's what this episode explores:

🔹 The moment Genea chose to dismantle her entire San Francisco life and why destruction had to come before creation 

🔹 Why the "lone wolf" isn't who you think it is, and the real story behind choosing your own path

🔹 What Genea learned from defying her astrologer's advice and why trusting yourself matters more than anyone's forecast 

🔹 The freedom that comes from being willing to lose everything for your vision

This is for entrepreneurs who are done playing small and ready to trust what they know in their bones

#126 Letting Go to Level Up: What You Must Release to Rise with Carrie Trabue, Founder, CEO, Author

The most successful people aren't the ones who learned to be perfect. They're the ones who learned to be real.

Genea welcomes Carrie Trabue, former trial lawyer and CEO, for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of what it takes to step into your authentic power. From surviving sexual harassment in her early legal career to launching LawSphere at midlife, Carrie's journey reveals how our greatest challenges often become our greatest strengths.

This episode explores the messy, necessary process of shedding the versions of ourselves we created to survive, fit in, and keep others comfortable. It's about the courage required to move from background singer to lead singer in your own life.

Here's the transformation you'll witness: 

🔹 How walking on eggshells with a narcissistic father developed the intuition that guides her business today 

🔹 Why letting go of the "casserole train" became the first step toward claiming her power

🔹 Why her "worst" quality became her competitive advantage as an entrepreneur 

🔹 The internal knowing test that guides her biggest decisions without needing anyone's approval

This conversation will leave you questioning what you're willing to release to become who you're meant to be.

#125 Why You Can't Make YOUR Dreams Come True But Can Move Mountains for Others

It's the paradox every high-achieving entrepreneur knows but rarely admits: you can execute flawlessly for clients, plan perfect events for friends, and solve everyone else's problems with ease.

But when it comes to your own dreams and business vision, you procrastinate, doubt, and second-guess every move.

In this episode, Genea reveals the hidden programming that creates this pattern and why it's not a willpower problem.

She shares her own story of completing a meaningful photography project only by tricking her subconscious into making it about others, and breaks down the two distinct paths every entrepreneur faces.

🔹 The employee mindset that makes you bend over backward for clients while neglecting your vision 

🔹 Why straight-A students often become struggling entrepreneurs 

🔹 The cultural programming that teaches us to ignore our internal compass 

🔹 How to start operating in service to yourself without becoming selfish

This isn't about productivity hacks or time management. It's about rewiring the fundamental programming that determines whether you build a business that traps you or sets you free.

#124 When $140M Isn't Enough: Redefining Success from the Inside Out with Peter Kennedy

Peter Kennedy built and sold Tagger Media for $140 million.

On paper, he had everything. In reality, he was chasing his grandfather's identity and running from the belief that he was fundamentally broken.

The day after closing the deal, he woke up deeply depressed, realizing that all the success in the world couldn't fill the void inside.

In this raw conversation, Peter shares his journey from fear-driven CEO to conscious leader building an AI company that puts employee growth above profits.

This isn't just another success story … it's a blueprint for what happens when you stop running from yourself and start building from who you really are.

Here's what we dive into:

🔹 The moment he realized no one cared about his $140M win and what that taught him about validation

🔹 The identity trap that keeps successful people feeling like failures inside

🔹 The plant medicine experience that cracked open his fear-based patterns and changed the way he looked at everything

🔹 How his new company operates from love instead of fear and why that's changing lives.

If you've ever wondered whether the success you're chasing will actually fulfill you, this conversation will give you permission to redefine what winning really means.

About Peter:

Peter Kennedy is a father of five, entrepreneur, and author of The Remembering—a raw, immersive memoir chronicling his journey from high-functioning overachiever to awakened, embodied man.

He built and led Tagger Media to a $140M acquisition by Sprout Social (NASDAQ: SPT), living a life that looked perfect on paper but felt painfully empty inside.

For years, Peter chased success to outrun a deeper truth: beneath the polished image was a boy who believed he had to earn love to be worthy of it.

Everything changed during a temazcal ceremony in the jungles of Brazil. That night cracked open the illusion of control and set him on a path of radical surrender and soul-level healing.

His journey led him through plant medicine ceremonies (iboga, ayahuasca, psilocybin), somatic therapy, a 10-day darkness retreat, and the dismantling of everything he thought success required.

Today, Peter is the co-founder of EvolveWell Inc., an AI-powered platform designed to help coaches support their clients between sessions.

At EvolveWell, growth isn’t a buzzword—it’s a business model.

The company prioritizes the personal evolution of its team above all else, redefining what conscious business can look and feel like.

#123 Why Doing Everything "Right" Is Tanking Your Business

You've read the books. Hired the coaches. Built the funnels. Posted daily. Optimized everything. And somehow your business still feels like you're pushing a boulder uphill.

In this episode, Genea exposes the hidden pattern that's been sabotaging entrepreneurs for years: the subconscious need to please others, follow rules, and avoid judgment. When you're more worried about doing things "right" than doing what's right for you, your business becomes a prison instead of freedom.

This isn't about strategy. It's about the invisible decision-making mechanism that's been running your life.

Here's what Genea uncovers in this game-changing conversation:

🔹 How childhood survival patterns show up as business self-sabotage 

🔹 The 35,000 daily decisions that are moving you away from what you want to create

🔹 Why "should" is the most dangerous word in entrepreneurship 

🔹 A simple visualization tool to reclaim your power and make decisions from your truth

 

If you've ever felt like you're building someone else's business instead of your own, this episode will help you start creating from your own truth.
