The Affluent CEO Show: She didn't build the wrong life. She just built it as the wrong woman.
The Affluent CEO Show
She didn't build the wrong life. She just built it as the wrong woman.
This is for the woman who has already succeeded — and knows, in the place she doesn't say out loud, that the woman who built it isn't her.
Not fully.
This isn't a podcast about strategy. It's about the identity underneath it. The nervous system driving it. The truth she's been avoiding.
Because more growth isn't what's missing. Honesty is.
Every episode dismantles the performance — the one that built the business, the income, the life — and reveals what it's costing her to stay there.
Through raw conversations, precision frameworks, and the kind of depth that confronts instead of comforts — this is where she stops expanding from who she was and starts leading from who she actually is.
Not hustle. Not performance. Not another blueprint.
Sovereignty.
Hosted by Yuliana Francie — CPA, author of Embody. Elevate. Expand. — this is where the performance ends and she begins.

The Woman Who Cannot Receive
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the reason success feels heavy has nothing to do with ambition — and everything to do with the identity carrying it?
In this deeply personal episode, Yuliana Francie explores the hidden emotional patterns many high-achieving women quietly live inside: hyper-independence, over-functioning, emotional exhaustion, and the inability to fully receive support, rest, love, or ease without guilt.
Drawing from her upbringing in a hard-working Chinese family, her decades navigating corporate leadership and high-level negotiations, and her own experience with burnout and emotional disconnection, Yuliana shares the realization that changed her life:
The same identity helping her achieve…
was also preventing her from receiving.
This episode unpacks:
- why so many successful women secretly feel emotionally exhausted
- the hidden cost of constantly “holding everything together”
- how survival-based identities shape leadership, relationships, and self-worth
- why hyper-independence often disconnects women from intimacy and support
- the emotional difference between performance and embodiment
- why “the woman who cannot receive love cannot fully receive life”
You’ll also hear a deeper conversation around nervous system safety, emotional alignment, and why success eventually becomes unsustainable when it is built from self-abandonment rather than embodiment.
This is not a conversation about doing less or becoming less ambitious.
It is a conversation about no longer forcing what your nervous system was never designed to carry alone.
Because maybe the next level of your life is not asking you to become more impressive.
Maybe it’s asking you to become more honest and in alignment with your truths.
