[restrict paid=”true”]

01:44 – Kristen Cipriano

I am so ready.

01:46- Gresham Harkless

All right, well, let's get it started then. So to kind of kick everything off, I wanted to rewind the clock a little bit here. A little bit more on how you got started. What I call your CEO story.

01:55 – Kristen Cipriano

Absolutely. So I originally started my business from the social media marketing space, and about a year in, I started to realize that I had these persistent business problems that wouldn't go away no matter what I tried to do. These were things like clients paying their invoices late not being able to grow beyond a certain income ceiling or not being able to score the kinds of collaborations I wanted to be a part of. Right.

I just kept noticing that these problems wouldn't go away. What I came to understand and realize is that wherever there's a persistent business problem that doesn't go away no matter what you do. There's a deeper truth there. So I started to explore those deeper truths within myself. That led me down a path of healing my childhood trauma and other highly emotional events throughout my young adulthood.

What I found, which was really interesting, is as I liberated some of those past experiences from my body and my subconscious mind, those persistent business problems completely, completely disappeared. I was able to start opening myself up to liberated success. I define liberated success as being uncapped in your potential without sacrificing your health, your relationships, your well-being, or your joy.

03:13. – Gresham Harkless

Nice. I absolutely love that. I love the word uncapped. It's just so powerful to kind of think of that, that potential. Again, sometimes we can get into not being in that, I think, abundant mindset where we think, okay, if I have an uncapped potential, then I have to give up health, I have to give up wealth, or you sometimes think that either or. But I love both of those definitions because I think it's something that  will redefine how we're approaching success as a whole.

03:39 – Kristen Cipriano

Absolutely. I think it's so important too. As CEOs, we need to be able to function in other areas of our life. We can't be in this tunnel vision approach with our business.

03:49 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, absolutely. I'm a big believer in so often we can look at life, we can look at business, especially in silos. I really appreciate you telling your story because I think so many times we could say, okay, well, I'm having these issues in my business. I have these issues or things that I may need to delve into in life, but they're probably not affecting one another. But I love hearing how you work through those things and uncover those truths and how they were able to kind of help you out and your business, I imagine, other aspects of your life as well.

04:19 – Kristen Cipriano

Absolutely. I mean, it's all interconnected. We think that they're separate. But something that's happening in one area of your life is absolutely affecting your business. The more we can open ourselves up to see what those deeper truths are and be able to liberate, liberate them from our subconscious mind and our body, then the more freedom we experience, not just as CEOs and leaders, but also as people.

04:40 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, absolutely. That uncapped word reigns true in many other aspects of life, I imagine, once you're able to kind of lock into those deeper truths. So I wanted to drill down a little bit more and hear a little bit more on how you're working with and serving your clients. I wanted to hear how that process goes and also hear a lot more about your podcast as well, and how you're serving your clients there.

04:58 – Kristen Cipriano

Absolutely. Yeah. So I have, I have coaching programs, I have masterminds, and I also have online education, so online courses that I sell on my website. All of these are designed to help you access that liberated success. So they touch on different areas. Some of them are focused specifically on money, and some of them are more holistic. They're for business and money and all the things, but they're all guiding you to uncovering these deeper truths, liberating yourself, and reaching that liberated success.

Then we do have a podcast right now, it's under the name Soul Expansion Podcast and we're launching season two in early 2022. So keep an eye out for that. On this podcast, we've really been able to dive in deep into some of the trauma, some of the deeper truths, but also the manifestation principles.

I really take a both-and approach because we can also get kind of caught in a pattern of constantly trying to heal ourselves, so much so that we don't do anything of the. Any of the things that actually lead to long-term success. So we have to marry both the liberation and the trauma healing work with the success mindset and the success habits that lead us to the goals we want to manifest.

06:14 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, that makes so much sense and I love that both and how you uncover that in your podcast. But also I definitely can hear that in the work that you do. Really what kind of resonated with me is it sounds like, for lack of a better term, meet people where they are, like you mentioned. If they have the coaching yet I imagine if you get one-on-one or the mastermind programs or do the self-paced courses, you have ways that people can start to delve into those deeper truths and get that I guess unlocking of that, but also to the success principles that can lead them to a different level.

06:46 – Kristen Cipriano

Absolutely, yeah.

06:48 – Gresham Harkless

Awesome. So what would you consider to be what I like to call your secret sauce? This could be for yourself, the business, or a combination of both. But what do you feel kind of sets you apart and makes you unique?

06:58 – Kristen Cipriano

Absolutely. So this is not unique to me, but I am highly developed in intuitive coaching. So intuitive coaching is what happens for me literally when I'm on a Coaching call. I'm in a different brain state. Like my mind is in an elevated state. We have different brain waves. Beta waves are our normal waking state. Alpha waves are more meditative. Theta waves are more dreamlike. That's where you start to experience these intense breakthroughs and synchronicities and then delta dream waves are when we're asleep.

Because I'm a long-term meditator and I practice meditation daily, sometimes multiple times per day, I'm actually able to come to my coaching calls in an elevated state of mind, which allows me to have deeper intuition to uncover those hidden truths. Because sometimes clients can be dissociated from their emotions or they don't know what exactly is going on in their body. Right. So you can be very much in your head space and not really understand what you're feeling in your body.

This was definitely true for me at the beginning of my journey. Because I am so intuitive, I'm actually able to help my clients see what's going on in their bodies, even if they're not sure themselves. Then they start to be able to uncover that for themselves and feel more embodied and also more in tune with themselves. The result of this intuitive coaching is we get to the source of those persistent business problems instead of beating around the bush.

Because what I found with a lot of clients is our subconscious mind will protect us from the source of the problem at all costs. So if we're not able to kind of lift up that veil and see what's underneath, or we don't have someone who's able to support us in that, then the source of the problem persists.

08:42 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, that makes so much sense. So I wanted to switch gears a little bit and I want to ask you for what I call a CEO hack. So this could be like an app or book or a habit that you have, but what's something that makes you more effective and efficient?

08:54 – Kristen Cipriano

Yeah. So I'm going to bring it back to meditation. Meditation is the best thing I do, not only for my business as a CEO but also for my own personal well-being. You asked me five years ago, Kristen, would you meditate? I would have said, I don't have time or I'm too anxious to meditate. I think a lot of us feel this way.

So I just want to kind of share that anecdote and let you know that over time it does get easier. If you're just starting out with meditation, obviously start with guided meditations, because sometimes just sitting in silence doesn't work if you're not practiced with meditation. Over time, you can work up to just sitting in silence or just having tones playing or something like that.

But what's so powerful about meditation as the CEO is it allows the business decisions you make and the actions you take to be 10 times, if not 100 times, more powerful than they would be if you didn't meditate. So what this looks like is if you are a nonmeditator and you're kind of in that reactive state that we talked about where you're constantly putting out fires, you might take a hundred or even a thousand actions in one day to run your business.

But if you're in a meditative state, you can actually take 10 actions that same day and attract more money, have a much bigger impact in whatever your industry is, and grow your business exponentially. So you truly get to do less and make more simply because the actions you're taking are so much more powerful and also so much more precise for what it is that you want to achieve.

10:26 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, that makes so much sense and it sounds so counterintuitive if you're thinking about it. It's like in order for me to do more, I have to do less, so to speak. But the word that I wrote down was like impact and I love that word, precise and precision. You start to make more impact because you're working on the things that are actually moving things forward on a deeper level.

I think it goes back to and I love like how you work with your clients because it's being able to kind of see that for us and understand that it's not maybe sometimes A, B, and C that are actually going to move things forward. It's actually going deeper and maybe going to what Z is something that we would have done completely last. But that has the most impact. So being able to kind of harness that is so powerful.

11:05 – Kristen Cipriano

You receive insights from higher levels of mind that you wouldn't be able to even imagine if you were just putting out fires all day. It's like in the moments of silence, that's where I get the most brilliant ideas that make me the most money or the most brilliant ideas for the next move I'm going to make, including ending up on this podcast. Right. So we got to take that time to allow the silence to teach us what we need to do next.

11:32- Gresham Harkless

Yeah, I love that. Take that time. I often will say create that space. Because if we're so busy putting this into that space and that's it. We don't have that time to actually just meditate on the things that we've done, the decisions that we have to make so that we can make not necessarily guaranteed decisions, but those as best as possible decisions. So I really love the practicality of that. I love even more how you talked about your journey related to that because I think sometimes you're like, hey, I don't have enough time. I can't afford to meditate on a daily basis. But in actuality, sometimes you can't afford not to with the amount of things that you have to.

12:06 – Kristen Cipriano

Totally. I was just going to say that you can't afford not to.

12:10- Gresham Harkless

Absolutely. I love it. So what would you consider to be what I like to call a CEO nugget? So that's a little bit more word of wisdom or a piece of advice. I like to say it might be something you would tell your younger business self if you were to hop into a time machine or potentially your favorite client. It.

12:25 – Kristen Cipriano

Yeah. So if I could talk to my younger business self or anyone who owns a business who's maybe in the earlier stages following the passion the profits will come. I think sometimes we can get stuck. For me, I really got stuck. In my first year of business, I started from this place of passion, but then I kind of lost that as a lot of my trauma came up and then I was just chasing money.

When you chase money, it's harder to make money. So the more you can come back to the passion, which sometimes if you're a year and two years and three years in, sometimes that can fade away. The more you can reconnect to that, the more you're going to be able to continue to grow and expand and also feel more fulfilled in your business.

Because when we're just chasing money, we don't feel that fulfillment in the same way. It lasts 30 seconds when a payment comes in and then it's gone and then you're chasing the next payment. Right. So we have to dig a little deeper and really lean into that passion and that purpose. Purpose to build a sustainable and long-lasting legacy.

13:27 – Gresham Harkless

Nice. I absolutely love that and I love the part that you talked about and the reconnecting to it. So now I wanted to ask you my absolute favorite question, which is the definition of what it means to be a CEO. And we're hoping to have different quote-unquote CEOs on the show. So Kristen, what does being a CEO mean to you?

13:42 – Kristen Cipriano

Being a CEO to me means leading a movement. It's so cool, the work I do because I work with other business owners, I work with other emerging leaders, I work with other CEOs. So when I'm on a call with a client, I'm not just impacting them. I'm impacting their legacy. Not only that, but I'm also impacting their family and everything that they experience in life because we're able to create that safety and that steadiness and that ability to navigate the unknown of business with clarity and confidence, which, of course, allows them to thrive and reach that liberated success that we talked about at the beginning.

So it's leading this movement and then also knowing that there's countless, infinite other movements that are being birthed through the work that I do with other leaders.

14:32 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, absolutely. You get that domino effect. I love the word legacy and it kind of was coming to my mind as even like reframing some ways that we look at certain things. Well, Kristen, truly appreciate that definition and of course, I appreciate your time even more. So what I wanted to do now was pass you the mic, so to speak, just to see if there's anything additional that you can let our readers and listeners know in, of course, how best people can get a hold of you. Subscribe to your podcast, to find out about your courses and all the awesome things that you're working on.

15:01 – Kristen Cipriano

Yeah, so the best way to get in touch with me is on Instagram. I'm Kristen Cipriano on Instagram. Kristinsipriano.com is my main website where you can find out how to work with me. We're always updating the Work with Me page to be up to date. Then I have a free gift for listeners.

So if you go to futureselfmeditation.com you can enter your email and I have a meditation that actually takes you through to a place of safety and then allows you to expand from there so that you can start to operate from a higher level of mind in your life and business.

15:35 – Gresham Harkless

Awesome and to make that even easier, we're going to have the links and information in the show notes too, so that everybody can take advantage of that free gift. Listen to the podcast, and find out about all the awesome things that you're doing. But I absolutely love everything that you're working on and everything that you're doing.

The last point really reminded me of I think the 77 habits of highly effective people, beginning with the end in mind. I love meditating with your future self in that place of safety and figuring out how you can reverse engineer or work backward from there. I think it's so powerful to be able to do that. So thank you so much for all you do for sharing that as well too, and I hope you have a phenomenal rest of the day.

16:12- Kristen Cipriano

Thank you so much. Thanks for having me.
