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If you’re ready to stop forcing outdated business models and start building a company that feels deeply aligned with who you are, The New Age CEO Podcast will help you step fully into your role as the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.

155. Understanding Your Human Design Shadows with 3/5 Manifesting Generator Irene McKenna
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this powerful episode, I’m joined by 3/5 Manifesting Generator Irene McKenna, the new Director of Alignment & Program Integration inside the Spiritual Business Incubator. Irene’s genius is helping entrepreneurs understand the subconscious patterns, growth edges, and energetic blocks hidden inside their Human Design… and how to move through them with compassion instead of force.
If you’ve ever wondered why you know your design but still get stuck in the same loops, this conversation is going to land deeply.
In this episode:
- What Human Design shadows really are
- How your growth edges are coded into your chart on purpose
- Why triggers are powerful invitations, not setbacks
- The missing energetic work most entrepreneurs skip
- Practical ways to shift from shadow → gift with more clarity and ease
This one is grounding, paradigm-shifting, and full of the kind of insight that helps you finally get out of your own way.
