EP 41: Why You Don't Actually Want What You Say You Want with Christine Banno

What if the thing standing between you and your next level isn't a lack of strategy, discipline, confidence, or talent? What if it's the hidden pattern underneath the thing you think is the problem? In today's powerful conversation, I sit down with high-performance psychic, nervous system specialist, and bestselling author Christine Banno [https://www.instagram.com/christinebanno/?hl=en] to unpack the hidden survival patterns that keep brilliant women circling the same level despite having the skills, desire, and ambition to create more.

EP 40: You Are Not Meant for Everyone — And That’s the Point

In this episode of She’s Iconic, Renee Marie dives into the hidden reason so many high-achieving women feel disconnected, exhausted, and uninspired in their businesses… they are building from self-protection instead of truth. This conversation explores how your nervous system naturally craves belonging, approval, and safety — which can lead to watering yourself down, hiding parts of your mission, softening your voice, and trying to be “for everyone” in order to be chosen. But the truth? The moment you stop abandoning yourself is the moment your business becomes magnetic. Renee shares a powerful story about navigating emotional suppression in a past narcissistic relationship — and how those experiences shaped the way she showed up online and in leadership. Inside this episode, we explore: * Why high-achieving women dilute themselves online * The nervous system’s need for universal acceptance * How self-protection disconnects you from your true magnetism * Why specificity creates powerful client attraction * The emotional exhaustion caused by shape-shifting in business * What happens when you finally root into your truth and convictions * How to stop performing and start leading from full alignment This is your reminder that you are not here to be digestible to everyone. You are here to deeply resonate with the people meant for your work. If this episode speaks to you, DM Renee the word “AUDIT” on Instagram @xoreneemarie [https://www.instagram.com/xoreneemarie/?hl=en] or book your Audit here: Business Uplevel & Money Leak Audit [https://calendly.com/stylesbyreneemarie/identity-money-leak-audit] And for the month of May, if Renee determines during your audit that the Diamond Standard Room is an aligned next step for you, your first month inside the room will be included complimentary.

EP 39: If Peace Were a Strategy with Berkley Sweet Apple

What happens when the life that looks successful no longer feels aligned? In this episode of She's Iconic, I sit down with trademark attorney and entrepreneur Berkley Sweet Apple to talk about the messy middle of reinvention… the season where your nervous system is screaming, your identity is shifting, and your soul is asking you to trust yourself before you have proof. Berkley shares her journey from high-stress litigation attorney to building a legally empowered online business that actually supports her life, motherhood, peace, and nervous system — not just her bank account. We talk about: ✨ leaving behind identities that no longer fit ✨ learning the difference between fear and misalignment ✨ entrepreneurship and nervous system regulation ✨ visibility, self-trust, and becoming comfortable being uncomfortable ✨ raising your energetic standards and capacity ✨ trademarks, legal protection, and why protecting your business matters ✨ building a business that gives you freedom instead of burnout This conversation is for the woman who feels the pull toward something more aligned… but keeps questioning herself because the next version of her life hasn’t fully materialized yet. You are not crazy for wanting more peace. You are not behind for evolving. And you are not delusional for hearing the whisper that says: there is more for you than this.

EP 38: The Wealthiest Version of You Isn’t Hustling — She’s Aligned

If you’ve been doing everything right—investing, growing, showing up—and yet something still feels heavy… This episode is going to shift everything for you. Because the truth is: 👉 You’re not lacking strategy. 👉 You’re not behind. 👉 You’re not doing it wrong. You’re just out of alignment with your unique blueprint. In this episode, I’m breaking down: * How I used my Soul Contract + Human Design to finally understand myself on a deeper level * Why hustle has never worked for me long-term (and probably not for you either) * The hidden ways you may be leaking money through misalignment * What it actually means to become an embodied, iconic leader * And how to expand your income, visibility, and impact without forcing it I also share my personal Soul Contract codes—including: ✨ 12 → 3 (expression + voice) ✨ 7–7 (intuition + recalibration) ✨ 6–6 (leadership + holding space) ✨ 22 → 4 (sustainable wealth + legacy) And how these reflected everything I already knew… but hadn’t fully trusted. Because that’s the work: 👉 Not becoming someone new 👉 But remembering who you’ve always been Misalignment is expensive. It costs you: * money * energy * opportunities * and trust in yourself If this episode activated something in you… I’ve created a space for this level of work: ✨ The Diamond Standard Room [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScPIVYyTXKobBcGbLbM7IqOCITrbrN5lTX2J_ildDbfr5xPng/viewform?usp=header] This is where I curate The Iconic Woman Collective—for women ready to refine their identity, expand their nervous system capacity, and build aligned wealth. 🔗 Apply here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScPIVYyTXKobBcGbLbM7IqOCITrbrN5lTX2J_ildDbfr5xPng/viewform?usp=header] ✨ Want to go deeper, faster?

EP 37: Frustration Is Your Next Breakthrough and the Messy Middle is Your Portal

There’s a phase in every level-up where things don’t feel fully clear yet… and most women mistake that as something going wrong. In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about the messy middle—the part of growth where your identity is shifting, your voice is evolving, and your message hasn’t fully clicked into place yet… but something bigger is trying to come through you.
