The De-Influencer Era — How to Stop Buying What You Don’t Need
In this bold, truth-telling episode, Jamie Kienholz pulls back the curtain on the consumer culture that keeps so many people stuck in debt, distraction, and discontent. She exposes how “luxury” marketing manipulates identity and why social media’s constant comparison loop can leave even the strongest of us chasing validation instead of peace.
Jamie challenges listeners to rethink what luxury really means — not handbags or cars, but calm, clarity, and confidence. Drawing from both psychology and biblical wisdom, she shares practical tools to stop over-spending, redefine success, and build a lifestyle rooted in discipline, peace, and purpose.
Whether you’re scaling your business or simply tired of feeling like you’re always behind, this episode will show you how to stop performing prosperity — and start living it.
