Daje James aka The Story Doula is a brand strategist, author, artist, and story doula. This is one of the most important conversations I’ve ever had on my podcast, planting powerful seeds for new ways to show up online and approach business. Out of the ashes of old paradigm business strategies, arise beautiful intuitive, cyclical ways of being in the world. We discuss: Finding beauty in tension Being an enneagram 7 Writing as a portal of transformation Looking inside, instead of outside, to understand who you are (self-referral vs object-referral via Deepak Chopra) The power of being present with your story Dharmic creative flow Being an expression of the Creator Surrendering your life Daje’s spiritual and human journey and experience with religion as a child Daje shares her experience being a worship leader Tending to the portal of your work Facing the fears of being unoriginal, incompetent and irrelevant because of lack of formal schooling Not dancing around discomfort Letting go of pleasing people Owning the bigness of your soul Meeting a hybrid human from another star system Why past lives and other star systems are extracurricular activities The story of the timelines converging in one Instagram account Bridging art, strategy, marketing, business and spirituality Daje’s ancestor that shows up often in readings The moment at coffee shop when Daje’s “piercing” soul got reflected back to her Learning to allow your soul to do what it’s here to do How is it possible that different people get the same energy downloads? Regenerative business practices and letting go of old paradigm strategy Grace as a portal of innovation Cyclical strategies and the medicine of masculine cyclicality Why alignment alone won’t cut it Letting go of obsession with linearity Making space for soul work Allowing things to all apart in the creative process Releasing binary story of success Trusting yourself to be held through identify death Related episodes: 176 Blair Badenhop: Trust The Discomfort and Come Home To The Truth Of Who You Are 174 Aaron Rose: Integrating Spiritual Awakening Into The Human Experience and Becoming Uncancellable 172 Part One: I forgot who I am 173 Part Two: I'm remembering who I am Connect with Daje James aka The Story Doula: Instagram: @thestorydoula https://www.thestorydoula.co/ Connect with Ksenia: kseniabrief.com Ksenia's email list Instagram @ksenia.brief YouTube Ksenia Brief TikTok @ksenia.brief Subscribe, rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts Follow the podcast on Spotify
