#638 Unlocking Authentic Power: Clear Subconscious Blocks in Business with Cheryl Stelte

What if the very blocks holding you back in business aren’t about strategy—but about unresolved subconscious patterns?

In this episode of Talking with the Experts, host Rose Davidson speaks with Cheryl Stelte - spiritual coach, master energy healer, and bestselling author of From Blocked to Powerful - about how subconscious blocks and energetic misalignments can stall even the most successful entrepreneurs.

Cheryl explains how business breakthroughs often require more than just mindset work or strategy. As entrepreneurs grow and evolve, their vibration rises, and that expansion naturally illuminates old wounds, unresolved trauma, and subconscious patterns stored deep within. These hidden blocks can manifest as feeling flat, stuck, or strangely unfulfilled in a business you once loved.

Through her 30+ years of experience, Cheryl has developed powerful approaches to help entrepreneurs - especially women—access and clear these blocks. She shares why growth often brings old wounds to the surface, how early life experiences shape subconscious patterns, and the three steps to clearing misalignments so you can reclaim your authentic power.

If you’ve been wondering why your old strategies aren’t working anymore, or why success doesn’t feel fulfilling, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and practical tools to move forward.

✨ It’s time to unlock your authentic power and let your business become the fullest expression of your soul.

 Cheryl | 01:25
Thank you, Rose. I'm thrilled to be here. 

 Rose | 01:29
So please, how did you get into all this work that you're doing helping female business owners become unstuck? 

 Cheryl | 01:38
Well, You know, I would work with business owners occasionally, but it was after I wrote my first book. So I've written three books, but after the first one, I was working with a lot of women and I started to get coaches and, you know, I'd be in different groups and they'd say, well, how do you get your clients? And I'm like, I don't know, they kind of fall out of the sky, you know? And they wanted some of that. 
 So I'm very fortunate and I've developed the capacity to see energy. So I do chakra readings. I now do business chakra readings so I can do a reading on you through the lens of your business. It's really so insightful and. What happened with the first few coaches that I worked with. They didn't have any clients and they were trying to form groups and they were failing miserably. One woman had one group and then she was at it for about 10, 11 months. Her credit cards were maxed and she was like, I might have to get a job. And I don't want to get a job. 
 And then the other one, she had been trying to form a group for 18 months, but she still had, you know, some other work that she was doing. And both of them within six, seven weeks had their groups formed. Deposits paid and they were off to the races. 
 So I can see where the blocks are. And it's just a matter of how, helping you unblock those blocks and you can get going. 
 And then what I found is You know, I started to attract healers. You know, I'm a healer, and so many healers don't want help. They think that because they're the healer, they can do it all themselves. And so they're not interested. But it's really and so many of the business owners that I've noticed that I'm working with today. It's about moving to that next level of business. I just did a business chakra reading for a woman who has three businesses on the go. And one is her passion project. She's like, this is my purpose, but it's the one that doesn't make her much money. 
 So she feels she has to keep going with the other two. So we did the reading and she was just blown away with the clarity. Now she knows what she needs to do and. I could go on and on, but it was very accidental. I never thought, I'm going to work with business women. Because I'm a businesswoman myself, but I don't think of myself as an expert in business because my business allows me to do the work I want to do. Nobody's going to hire me and pay me for the work I do. 
 So I'm a business. Woman, but I am an expert at removing those blocks that we don't know what they are to get you going with the clarity. That you're so looking for. 

 Rose | 04:37
Ian, it's important to know what, the blocks are because you can be in business for a really long time and not have much success financially. But, you know, you're well known. Your name's out there. People know who you are. They know what you do. 
 So there's obviously some impediment somewhere that is preventing people from actually buying from you. So why is feeling stuck after personal growth? Not a failure and what are the signs that you are ready for some deeper alignment and further growth? 

 Cheryl | 05:10
What happens when we reach a certain level in success, and this is not my first business, you know, I've had a spiritual interior design business. When we reach a certain level of success, we move more into our light, we're growing, you know, Curliam photography has proven that we have light. And so if you think of it this way, then the light starts to shine on the darkness. It's the direction. It's actually a sign of success. Points you at what needs to be healed, what needs to be cleared so you can continue to grow, expand your business, evolve, move in the right direction. 
 So if you're feeling flat. Unfulfilled, your business just isn't as exciting as it used to be, you likely have some subconscious blocks that are ready to move, because we experienced the great success. 
 And then there's often for a lot of women, it comes along at some point that it's like, whoa, this isn't. Doing it for me anymore. And sometimes we think, I just I'll do something different. I'll try something else. And. 

 Rose | 06:22
Absolutely. And Cheryl, what are some of those blocks that we have that we are not aware of? How can we find out what they are? And, work through them. 

 Cheryl | 06:36
Well, that's, there's two questions, the how can we find them? And so I'd love to explain that. There's three relatively easy steps that you can do the work, you can you know, sign up for a business chakra reading with me, and I'll let you know what everything is. But I find there's four main subconscious blocks that stall us. That keep us from moving forward. And they're not necessarily in this order. They're all subconscious beliefs that are formed from repressed emotions early in childhood and as early as in the womb. And so they are, I'm not enough. Or I'm not good enough. I don't matter. I can't tell you how many women in business have this subconscious belief so they build the business. Based out of the womb that I do matter, and then it'll hit them. 
 So I don't matter. I'm unworthy. And so when you're talking about the women who are well known, and they're doing their work, but they're not, there's usually an unworthiness. Wound going on in there. 
 And then I'm unlovable. Those are the four main ones and there's many branches I'm not wanted. Nobody wants what I have. We don't realize those are playing on in the background. 

 Rose | 07:56
Yeah, that's... That can be true for a lot of us, I guess. One or more. Any of those or many of those could be, you know, what's preventing us from moving forward. And there are hidden energetic and subconscious patterns that block by achieving women from you know stepping into their next level so how can we learn how these blocks often originate in early childhood. 

 Cheryl | 08:23
Well, what happens, the number one trauma, and it's classified as trauma today, that I would say... All of my clients experienced in early childhood, they didn't have much of an emotional resource. They didn't have someone to turn to with their emotions, someone who would listen to them and understand them and make their emotions okay. Most of us were taught to stuff our emotions. Nobody's really there for us. We're kind of on our own. And today that is classified as trauma. It's and it's the silent sort of hidden trauma. That is not always even recognized by the best, Therapists, it's the ongoing trauma that goes on with us. And, you know, back in my day, I'm in my early 60s, and it wasn't a thing. 
 So it's not like our parents were bad. Parents, you know, sure there's other issues, whatever it is, but just that one thing Nobody was there for them. And so it's passed on, whereas now today, it's the end thing to talk about your emotions, share your emotions, let's unpack this, let's clear this up, we do all these things, but... It.. Really often starts in the womb. And it's where the mother is fearful of having this child. It could be an unwanted child, the marriage or the partner they're with, you know, there's fear, that sort of thing. And it's, there's research today just being shown, but To me, the best definition of Brahma. It's not so much what happened, it's the lingering feelings of uncertainty. 
 So that could be sexual abuse of any sort, that sort of thing. But science has proven that trauma is encoded in the right side of the brain, the subconscious, through the physical sensations and emotions, not through linear memories. 
 So you don't even have to remember. And if you do remember anything, it's always in fragments. It's just in pieces. And so, I would love to share with you a way to help you go back into your subconscious so you can find what's going on. 

 Rose | 10:48
Please do. Please do. All. 

 Cheryl | 10:50
Right. So if you just, I always think of the ace of spades, you know, if you've ever played cards before, So the word ACE, it's my ACE method. A is for access. You have to be able to access. C is for clear. You want to clear that block that's in there. And the best part, E is for empowerment. 
 So you can actually reprogram your subconscious mind. So you turn around and you're different. There's no mindset work. Required. 
 You know, mindset work helps. But it's at a much more superficial level. You want to go deep. And it's one of the things so many of my clients say, Cheryl. Nobody goes as deep as you. 
 So it's like, let's get down to the root. So access, the first thing you want to do is you want to breathe with your lower abdomen. 
 So I invite you right now, Rose and anyone listening, put your hand on your lower abdomen with your thumb at about the level of your navel. And you can close your eyes and just focus and breathe there with long... Full deep breaths. 
 So let your whole belly relax. There's no sucking your gut in here. And you inhale and let your belly expand out and you exhale and you squeeze your abdominal muscles to expel all the error. 
 So you keep doing that just for a little bit while I'm talking. And the reason this works, it changes the brain function. 
 So as we were all sitting here, Listening, talking, we're using the back of the brain, the brainstem to breathe. But as soon as we engage the abdominal muscles, that function moves forward. To the frontal lobe of the brain. And it frees up the back of the brain, the brainstem or the medulla oblongata, which helps give us access to our subconscious. 
 So this is not this kind of meditation is not about getting rid of all thoughts. You don't even have to call it meditation if you don't want. Sit in a chair, sit up straight with your spine straight and breathe in this way. And you can think of anything in your business today. 
 Somebody said something that upset you. This one launch of yours isn't going your way or you have you know, an evergreen program that's not working out, whatever it is. And you can start there, whatever isn't working for you, or even just this feeling of flat, unmotivated and unfulfilled. 
 So you start there and you breathe into whatever's going on. You can think of the situation and then you breathe through the emotions and eventually you can move into what I call following the emotional thread. 
 So you feel the top emotion, let's say it's anger. Then you go underneath, there's actually sadness that this didn't work out because it meant so much to you. 
 And then there's another emotion and it could go to. Two of the deepest emotions with trauma are confusion, and shame. And who would think confusion, but often, when, Kids are traumatized through not having an emotional resource or something went wrong. They always feel confused. 
 So they get confused when they feel confused. It doesn't make sense. But you can follow those back, follow your emotions down, and then you invite your subconscious to go back to when this pattern first began. When did you first feel this? And so your subconscious will take you back early and it might not, In the beginning phases, but later on, you definitely will go back and you'll discover you could have been a year and a half later. Old. Just one and a half. And you are experiencing this. 
 So you can allow yourself, you imagine that you're that little toddler. And you feel those emotions. 
 So you process them. You allow yourself to process those emotions and then to clear You keep feeling them. 
 And then you ask the little toddler, so What did you decide is true from this? What did you believe? From these emotions. And the little toddler will always tell you, you're not making it up. And you'll be surprised. It's like, whoa. And so then you can work with the toddler, you can reparent. 
 So you go back and forth. That's the deeper work. And until The little toddler in you releases all the emotions. 
 And then... What is true is more of your true self. 
 You know, I had, I just had a woman. Not that long ago and she just discovered, she felt like she was never living her life for herself, her business, everything she's done. Was always for everybody else, nothing for her. And she released all the trauma and the block around that she was really living for her mother. And she knew that. She would be doing that since she was in the womb. And we released it and she realized... That she was just a bright shining light and she came here to shine her light. And she switched her business, everything. 
 And then what you do, then you continue with the breath. And whatever is true for you, the new emotions of joy, happiness, and excitement and why you're here, that sort of thing, then you start to breathe those into your subconscious. And that's the reprogramming. 
 And then you turn around and So much is just different and you just start to see your business is different. You get the clarity and you know what to do next and how to move forward. And you're more in alignment. 

 Rose | 16:42
Wow, that is absolutely amazing. And we'll all walk away with a new understanding about, you know, our resistance and the skills that we have that we can claim our clarity and our fulfilment. 

 Cheryl | 16:56
Absolutely. And it works. And it takes some practice, just like anything. But I've been doing it for almost 32 years every morning meditating in this fashion. And I developed it over the years that it just works. 

 Rose | 17:13
Sounds like it does. I may have to start doing that myself and get rid of some – blocks that I have at the moment in moving forward. If you want to find out more about Cheryl, you can find her on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, on her website at starofdivinelight.com. And she's offering a meditation. Cheryl, do you want to discuss with us about that? Sure. 

 Cheryl | 17:38
Yes, it's actually a group of three meditations. So the first two are helping you work with the breath. And I just got an email yesterday from a woman. Who just shared with me an experience she had just from doing that and just sitting in it. But the third meditation is my most listened to meditation, and it's creating safety and stability in the root chakra. And you don't have to meditate in the chakras, but it helps give you a focal point and meditating, bringing your focus down to the root chakra, which is all about safety and stability and moving into trust and faith. And trust and faith that, you know, and that's the next level of it. And so those three meditations are in one lovely package for you. 
 So that's what you'll be getting today. 

 Rose | 18:29
Wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing that. Cheryl, is there something else that you'd like to share with that audience today? 

 Cheryl | 18:35
Yes, I would like to say if you can take this home just breathe this into your heart breathe this into your being that you are all powerful beyond belief. Put that in. You're powerful beyond what you can currently imagine. 

 Rose | 18:51
