The New Age CEO Podcast
Welcome to The New Age CEO Podcast with Anna Nichols, founder and CEO of the Spiritual Business Incubator, where we explore what it really takes to build a purposeful, profitable, and sustainable business in the new age.
This podcast is for mission-driven entrepreneurs, coaches, healers, creatives, and visionary founders who know they’re here to build something bigger than themselves. Inside each episode, Anna blends practical business strategy with Human Design, energetics, leadership, spirituality, nervous system work, wealth consciousness, and aligned entrepreneurship to help you grow a business that supports both your mission and your life.
You’ll hear honest conversations about the journey from solopreneur to CEO, building aligned offers and sustainable systems, scaling without losing yourself, leadership in the new paradigm of business, and creating legacy-level impact through your work. From strategic planning and sales to Human Design, Gene Keys, astrology, and energetic alignment, this podcast bridges the practical and the spiritual in a grounded, actionable way.
If you’re ready to stop forcing outdated business models and start building a company that feels deeply aligned with who you are, The New Age CEO Podcast will help you step fully into your role as the leader your business needs next.

152. Grateful, Grounded, and Growing: Step into Your Next Era of Aligned Expansion
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, I’m inviting you into the real, behind-the-scenes energy of expansion, the kind of expansion that feels equal parts exhilarating and surreal. As we step into Thanksgiving week, I’ve been reflecting on the wild, beautiful, stretching, deeply aligned year that has unfolded… and how gratitude, grounding, and growth all weave together to make our next chapter possible.
2025 changed my entire life, personally, relationally, and in my business. We moved across Colorado, my marriage evolved, I evolved, the incubator came alive, the book was born, and the vision I held for so long finally started showing up in the physical world. And I’ll be honest: even when everything you’ve been working toward starts happening, your nervous system still whispers… “is this real?”
This episode is the reminder that yes, it’s real. And also yes, you still get to ground into it, celebrate it, and consciously choose what’s next.
In This Episode:
- How to anchor into gratitude when your life and business are moving faster than ever
- Why the moment your vision becomes real can feel disorienting, and how to stabilize your energy
- How I’m using strategic planning (and astrology!) to ground the next evolution of the incubator
- The three G’s of aligned expansion: Gratitude, Grounding & Growth
- The business stages I walk clients through, foundations, consistency, evolution, and scaling, and how to identify your own
- A behind-the-scenes look at the future of the Spiritual Business Incubator (it’s getting VERY magical)
