From Flop Launch to Soul Power: Stop Giving Your Power Away
Soul Powered Channel with Rebekah Kiger | Solo EpisodeIn This EpisodeI talk about what it's like to feel powerless in a triggered state, and the wild truth underneath it: the only thing you're ever reacting to is your own mind. I use an unexpected tax bill as the example, because it's something so many new business owners run into, and I walk through how the bill isn't the trigger. The story about what it says about you is.Then I get into the nervous system side: fight, flight, freeze, and shutdown, and why shutdown is actually a protection mechanism. I tell you the story of my first flop launch, the stories I told myself afterward, and how those stories ended up predicting my next several launches. I close with how I turn triggers into a game, why the school of hard knocks led me to the work I do now, and why I want you to collapse time and not have to fall on your face as many times as I did.Key TakeawaysYou're never actually powerless to your own mind. In a triggered state it feels that way, but the only thing you're reacting to is your own perception.It's the story, not the tax bill. The same event can be a minor annoyance or a full spiral depending on the meaning you give it.What's objectively easy can be subjectively hard. The strategy is rarely the obstacle. Becoming the person who can show up, be seen, and trust the process is.Shutdown is protection, not weakness. When your nervous system decides a threat is too big to fight or flee, it numbs you out to keep you safe, and you can learn to pull yourself out of it.A flop is feedback, but the story you tell afterward can become the forecast. The meaning you attach to a launch that didn't work can shape the next several.Your triggers can be a game. Every time you feel powerless to something, you have an invitation to figure out who you need to become so it doesn't hold you anymore.Chapters00:00 Welcome to the Soul Powered Channel01:00 Triggers and Feeling Powerless02:25 The Tax Bill Trigger03:23 Your Business Grows With the Problems You Solve05:21 Running a Personal Brand Isn't Objectively Hard09:12 The Hard Part Is Becoming the Person11:40 Why the Podcast Feels Easy14:07 Your Gift Is Too Close to See16:04 Channeling My Higher Self18:00 The Throat Block: Fear of Speaking Up25:41 Powerless to Your Own Mind29:22 We Were Taught to Give Our Power Away34:16 Safe Enough to Be Seen37:43 It's the Story, Not the Tax Bill39:08 Fight, Flight, Freeze and Shutdown41:29 Tools to Pull Yourself Out43:25 My First Flop Launch45:20 The Story I Told Myself After the Flop47:19 What the Flop Was Really Teaching Me48:46 Turning Triggers Into a Game50:15 Falling on My Face So You Don't Have To53:41 Closing: Toward the Soul Powered SocietyResources MentionedBooks & TeachersDr. Joe DispenzaJames WedmoreTo Watch LaterStans, the documentary about Eminem's fansConcepts We ExploredTriggers and perceptionFight, flight, freeze, and shutdownPolyvagal theoryNeurolinguistic programming (NLP)Internal family systemsKundalini yoga and meditationCollapsing timeMy WorkSoul Powered Society: https://www.risewithrebekah.com/soul-powered-society-awakenReady to Go Deeper?If this episode landed somewhere tender, you're probably not meant to do this next part alone.
