850. You Need to Stop Trying So Hard: Why Forcing Is Blocking Your Flow
Almost 30
How Grief Opened Kimberly's Heart
Kimberly recounts her mother's death, a 10-month inward period, and how grief catalyzed deeper heart trust and clarity.
What if the clarity you’ve been searching for isn’t in your mindset—but in your heart? In this conversation with Kimberly Snyder, we explore heart coherence, emotional regulation, intuition, and why so many high-achieving women are stuck in the “propelled heart” phase of constant doing.
Kimberly shares the five stages of the heart + how stress, ambition, trauma, and ego keep us disconnected from our true power. We talk about nervous system rewiring, hormonal balance, and how dropping from the mind into the heart can change your relationships, health, and magnetism.
From manifesting her husband in six weeks to building a wellness empire while raising two kids, Kimberly reveals how living from the heart creates ease, intuition, and alignment. If you’re tired of forcing, hustling, or overthinking your next move—this episode will feel like a reset.
We also talk about:
- The five heart stages: dark heart, propelled heart, steady heart, devoted heart, and clear heart
- Heart coherence and its impact on cortisol, DHEA, hormones, and longevity
- Why “manifestation culture” often keeps women in the mind instead of the heart
- Healing grief + how tragedy can open your heart
- Ego vs. authenticity in relationships
- The difference between emotional reactivity + true heart connection
- Nervous system regulation through heart-focused breathing
- Intuition vs. overthinking
- How partnership accelerates spiritual growth
- Magnetism, energy fields, and how your heart affects others
- Redefining success beyond hustle + achievement
- Why ordinary moments can feel extraordinary when you’re embodied
