Soft, Earthen Futures

There's a fear that lives in the bones of wild-hearted entrepreneurs: If I get too strategic, I'll lose the magic. So many of us swing between extremes—spending months in pure intuition waiting for clients to materialize, then overcorrecting into hustle mode only to feel hollow and disconnected. But what if you didn't have to choose between strategy and soul?

In this episode, I introduce the concept of mythopoetic entrepreneurship—the practice of consciously writing a soul-level story through your work. Your business isn't just an offering; it's an expression of the prayers you've caught from the collective consciousness and the earth's desire for herself.

I walk you through the Journey of Sacred Self-Initiation, a framework rooted in the four directions that helps you integrate:
  • Imagination – Your visionary capacity to see what's possible
  • Intuition – Your inner knowing beyond logical explanation
  • Instinct – Your embodied, somatic wisdom that keeps you alive
  • Intention – Your clarity and commitment to what you're building
When you learn to work with all four elements instead of getting stuck in one mode, you stop oscillating between extremes. You build a business that has structure and spirit, strategy and soul.

This is the maturation process every visionary entrepreneur needs—and it's what we practice together inside Worldbuilding School.

What is Soft, Earthen Futures?

Soft, Earthen Futures is a podcast about imagining and crafting a more whole world. We explore what it means to stand at the threshold between what has been and what is trying to emerge, tending to that in-between space, listening for what the earth is dreaming through us, and giving those visions form. This show is for wild-hearted creatives, entrepreneurs, and visionaries. Hosted by founder, story doula, and eco-somatic depth guide, Daje Aloh.
