Transcript:
Kristine Genovese (02:14)
Megan, I am delighted to be here. And as you said, we had such a great conversation offline the first time we met. I was like, I can’t wait to be on the show.
Megan North (02:25)
And you were very accommodating too, because I was very late to our call.
Kristine Genovese (02:30)
Ah, it’s okay. It’s all good.
Megan North (02:33)
Exactly meant to be, absolutely.
You’ve been busy the last few weeks. I’ve seen that you’ve been in New York and touring a lot of different places with your new book. What’s been happening with you recently?
Kristine Genovese (02:50)
Well, I did something I called the “Soul in the City” tour, and I went to New York City. As you could probably tell from my last name, I’m a little Italian, and I grew up in New York City, so to be able to go home was pretty impactful.
We had a book tour with different venues throughout the city — this really cool place called Bibliotech that’s a wine bar with books, two of my favourite things in the whole world. Then we were at the famous Strand for a book signing, which is a huge bookstore down in the Village. I also did a couple of book signings with two different shops. They are both metaphysical shops, which was so much fun, so I got my spiritual side out.
But the biggest thing was having a billboard in Times Square. Can you imagine? I had done my journalling and what I call my Sacred Soul Script, where you write as if something has already happened with lots of energy, emotion, and feeling, bringing it forth. I had done that a number of years ago and then, magically, there it was — a billboard in Times Square. You know the saying, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere, right?
Megan North (04:13)
Congratulations. That is such a significant event.
Kristine Genovese (04:19)
It was wild. It was so wild to see your face on a Times Square billboard. Then it’s kind of a panic because the kids were around. It’s a massively busy place. There was this one kid who goes, “Mum, look, she’s famous.”
Megan North (04:40)
And also on the billboard for a good reason, not the lookout.
Kristine Genovese (04:45)
Exactly, exactly.
I did have an interesting experience. I sometimes go by the name “spiritual gangster” because my last name is Genovese. There was a guy, one of the heads of the five crime families in New York City, Vito Genovese, once upon a time. He was actually my great-great uncle. I know, right? So I’m definitely bringing a lot of light to the name.
After my Times Square billboard ran — it ran twice an hour for the whole day — I went to an Italian restaurant nearby. I was a little early for the reservation, and when I shared that with the maître d’, he said, “Okay, what’s your name?” I told him, “Kristine Genovese.” He goes, “Genovese?” I said, “Yeah.” He was an older Italian gentleman. He goes, “Like the Genovese?” I said, “Uh-huh.” “No problem. We’ll seat you right now.” I went, wow, now there’s some star power.
Megan North (05:44)
Absolutely. Talk about throwing the name around.
Kristine Genovese (05:49)
It was amazing.
So my book is called Healing Through Soul Intelligence. It describes my method. It’s a compilation of stories. As you mentioned in my introduction, I work with a lot of functional and integrative medicine providers. Even the woman who wrote the foreword is a triple-board-certified MD. She’s on Tony Robbins’ medical team, which is really cool, and she’s recently partnered, I believe, with the research arm of Dr Joe Dispenza, who is one of my mentors as well.
I’ve done work with both Tony and Dr Joe, so there’s lots of goodness packed in this book.
Megan North (06:34)
This is your first book.
Kristine Genovese (06:36)
It is my first book. My second book I’m actually in the process of working on, as we all are. I’m turning Healing Through Soul Intelligence into a daily reader, so there’ll be a reading for every day, a journal prompt, an inspired action, and a quote, so you’ll have a little Soul Intelligence to take you through each day.
Megan North (07:03)
I love that. That’s fantastic. I really do love books that have prompts and things you can action as well. I’m one of those people — I’m not a very good book reader in the sense that I read a couple of pages and then I’m like, often I’ll go to the last chapter and decide whether I want to read the rest of it.
That’s usually a romance novel, but I love books with action and prompts because I feel more engaged, and I take it in more. If I’m actioning this, something clicks in my mind and I get a better understanding. It’s just the way I take information in.
Kristine Genovese (07:57)
When I journal, I still write by hand. When I take notes, I use a physical notebook, not typing into the computer, because there’s something about transferring it from the brain out. The kinesthetic learner in us is a different piece.
I have journal prompts in Healing Through Soul Intelligence at the end of every chapter. I only keep two because I don’t want to overwhelm people, but it gives you something to reflect on and a way to implement what I was speaking about.
Megan North (08:31)
Great.
It’s funny — when I asked if this is your first book, you said yes, but you’re already halfway through the second. It’s a little like getting a tattoo: when am I getting the next one?
Kristine Genovese (08:47)
When it’s a big hit, I’m very fortunate it’s an LA Tribune bestseller. It was just recognised as 2025 Book of the Year by Best Holistic Life, which was an incredible honour. When people love it, they’re like, “When’s the next one?” You don’t really get a break, but it’s nice, and I’m glad people are getting so much out of it.
Megan North (09:14)
Fantastic. It’s wonderful. I’ve got the QR code up there if people want to order it.
Kristine Genovese (09:20)
We should probably tell people what the heck Soul Intelligence is, right?
Megan North (09:23)
Yes. Soul Intelligence, and particularly the movement you’re creating now, is your passion and purpose. What was the defining moment that led you to pursue this?
Kristine Genovese (09:40)
Goodness. It’s a longer story, but I’ll do my best.
Rewind to Thursday, 12 March 2020, when the whole world got the ultimate timeout. I was in an oncologist’s office with my now was-band, who was getting a biopsy on his prostate, and I got a call from the head of HR. I was a corporate turnaround specialist for most of my career — figuring out people, process, and technology so the business could reach its objectives. I was one of those corporate, plane-hopping, adrenal-junkie people.
The head of HR let me know my services were no longer needed. I was in shock. I had never been fired. I was in my early fifties. I said, “What do you mean? You just gave me a performance bonus. We’re making the turn.” “The CEO has decided to go in a different direction.” I texted my boss and said, “I just got fired.” He replied, “Me too.”
I had been asking to hire people in Q4 to have enough staff for Q1’s planned marketing. The CEO kept saying no, hold the line on expenses. He fired the two of us, took our board deck in on Monday, said we didn’t hire enough people, then went on a hiring spree. Karma has a way of working things out. He was removed after a board investigation, but he put in a crony, and they ran the company into the ground. It no longer exists, which is a shame.
I truly believe that was the divine’s hand plucking me out of corporate America and telling me, you’ve spent years in your zone of excellence; it’s time to step into your zone of genius. Shortly after, I had a powerful meditation — tears streaming down my face — and I knew it would be soul-crushing to go back. That was what I now call my Soul Intelligence screaming that it was time to do something different. Shortly thereafter, the method was given to me by the divine.
Megan North (12:49)
Wow. I’m an ex-HR senior executive as well and had a long career in HR. When I first stepped into my business four and a half years ago, it didn’t take off straight away, so I did some consulting back into HR. After a couple of short stints, I found stepping back into corporate felt soul-crushing.
I loved working with people. No wonder we connected immediately. I think it was the system of a big corporate, having to abide by their rules and do what they wanted. I loved the people side, but stepping into the organisation felt soul-destroying.
Kristine Genovese (14:30)
I knew it was time to tap into a greater purpose. How did I bridge the work world and the spiritual world? I had to straddle both for a while. I had a coaching credential and a master’s degree, so I had the education to do what I was about to do. I developed a leadership program — a conscious leadership program — which was new around 2020.
I talked to CEOs I used to work with and went through my LinkedIn contacts. “Give me a quarter. I’ll take your middle managers and help them become senior leaders. I’ll help your senior leaders get ready for executive roles, and I’ll work with your executive team so your C-suite is aligned with mission, vision, values, and purpose, feeling lit up from the inside out.” Everyone said yes.
I built the program. First, an assessment called the Game Changing Index, developed by a research firm in the UK. It shows what intrinsically motivates you, where your energy naturally goes. Not personality-based, not skills-based. Super cool. We do that one-on-one first. Then a traditional coaching session in the middle.
By the end, they’d gotten to know me. I’d say, “We can do a traditional coaching session about your career and team goals, or you can take a risk walk with me and we can talk about why your team ended up in this spot, why you aren’t thriving at work, and why it’s showing up at home too. If you want to get to the root cause, do a Soul Intelligence session.” Every single one picked the Soul Intelligence session. There was my confirmation. Game on.
I was fortunate that one of the CEOs I was coaching owned a nutraceutical company. He was impressed with my executive coaching, brought me into his leadership team, then into the whole company. He used my own methods on me and said, “You’re going to work for me full-time someday.” I said, “No, I’m not.” Three years later, here I am. He’s not corporate America; he’s a single owner, so it’s different. I said, “If I come, I have to be all me. I need to use Soul Intelligence with employees and clients and introduce the mental and emotional healing that’s the underlying root cause of what goes wrong in the physical body — disease, dysfunction, and dissonance.”
Megan North (18:20)
Wow. Through creating the Soul Intelligence Method, have you been on your own journey of healing and processing for yourself?
Kristine Genovese (18:37)
My goodness, healer heal thyself. We have to go through it.
Just so you understand the method: I have a book of charts and a pendulum. There are physical charts about the body, mental and emotional wellness charts, negative toxic masculine and feminine qualities, and about 100 archetypes or patterns. It brings up old, unhealed, unresolved trauma from the subconscious to the conscious to be released.
In my own healing, a simple example is a self-limiting belief. I grew up with an alcoholic father and the belief “I’m not good enough.” To gain attention or positive feedback, I couldn’t just meet expectations, I had to exceed them. That served me in business, but it was a disservice personally. I kept choosing partners where I would overdo, they would underdo, and then I was angry that I was invisible and unsupported. I did that to myself.
I grew up in a time when hitting your head on the glass ceiling was very real. I had to work twice as hard as a man to earn the same income. Women were seen as weak. You couldn’t cry or show emotion. I spoke crassly, knew sports statistics, and made fun of people who were emotional.
It resulted in a cervical cancer scare. When you push emotions down, energy has to go somewhere. For me, it went to my cervix, the seat of our womanhood, where we birth businesses and babies.
By the way, it’s also where men’s prostate is located. It’s one reason why so many retired men get prostate cancer — they’ve lost their sense of purpose.
I got an abnormal Pap smear, did an in-office procedure, then they said I needed a conical biopsy. I was so disconnected I said, “I’m done having kids. They can take all my parts out. Who cares?”
When it hit me that I had to deal with this, I called every healer I knew, from traditional to psychic. The first person said, “You need to get in touch with your divine feminine.” I thought, what does that mean? Do I need to dance, wear flowy dresses, grow my hair?
I started to read about strong female leaders like Sekhmet and Isis and realised women are incredibly strong. Emotion is energy in motion. When energy stops moving, it pools in the body and causes disease, dysfunction, or dissonance. I had been suppressing my femininity so long it had to go somewhere.
I did the work: energetic acupuncture, meditation, visualising healthy cells. A girlfriend said, “It’ll be gone by the time you go to the hospital.” I decided she was right. I did all the things. In the hospital, the OB-GYN said, “We must have cut it all out, because it’s gone.” Maybe we did, and I also did the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual work. It’s not one thing. It’s all the things.
Megan North (24:18)
Yes. And that innate deep trust and belief — when you say you’ll heal it, it’s healed.
Kristine Genovese (24:33)
The belief is the biggest point. The Secret talked about positive affirmations, but what it missed is what Neville Goddard said: feeling is the secret. Emotion is the magnetic part of the electromagnetic field that brings things to you. We must not suppress emotions. They run this human body.
Megan North (25:00)
When you manifest and feel amazing, the universe notices the shift in energy. My guides and ancestors step in when I’m like that. For me, it’s more the feeling than the visualising. I feel the change in my body, and it vibrates out.
Kristine Genovese (25:42)
The HeartMath Institute measured the electromagnetic field around the brain and heart. Our brain has about a two-foot field. Our heart’s field is about six feet and is far more powerful. We spend so much time in the head, not the heart and body.
Our physical body is the barometer of our subconscious mind. That’s where old trauma and beliefs are stored. Not everyone knows what it is; they just know they don’t feel well. My method is founded in bioenergetics, documented in the 1950s by Dr Lowen. If you’re not feeling well physically, mentally and emotionally you’re probably not doing well either. About 95 percent of doctor visits today are for chronic conditions that won’t heal because the underlying emotional root cause hasn’t been addressed.
Megan North (27:02)
Okay. I think we’ll hear from our sponsors.
Kristine Genovese (27:12)
I know, we got so deep.
Megan North (27:15)
I’ve got so many things in my head. We’ll take a short break, hear from the sponsors, and when we come back I’d love to dive into mental health and wellbeing — particularly what you do to look after your own. Great. Thanks, Kristine.
Kristine Genovese (29:15)
Had a bit of a spray. I had some water. I’m good to go.
Megan North (29:26)
Excellent. You mentioned journalling and how important it is for you. What else do you do for your mental health and wellbeing?
Kristine Genovese (29:37)
I like to ease into the day.
Megan North (29:42)
Tell us more.
Kristine Genovese (29:44)
I love to meditate first thing in the morning, at least 30 minutes, to make sure I’m in the right space. Any insights that come, I journal. I also do my Sacred Soul Script — kind of brainwashing for good.
Brainwashing works like this: you isolate the person, control the messaging, repeat it, and reward with love or fear. For brainwashing for good, you want to be by yourself, control the messaging you’ll use, repeat it, and reward yourself with love as if it’s already happened.
I use my Sacred Soul Script morning and evening — what I want to bring into the world, what I want to manifest as if I already have it. I spend time in gratitude, bringing it in with all the feelings. Who is with me? Where are we? What are we celebrating?
That’s one reason my Times Square billboard happened. It was surreal. You’re standing in your higher self and you know you did it. Then I ask, now what? The next chapter, seeing the book’s impact and how many people are positively affected.
I love spending time in nature. One of the best times to get vitamin D is in the morning. If you can spend 15 minutes outside — follow the animals — dogs love to lie in the sun. Whenever possible, I do that. I live in Tampa, Florida. It’s warm and tropical most of the year. I’m an avid tennis player. I live on a golf course, which is peaceful. I’m miles from the beach. Bookending my day in nature is something I make a concerted effort to do.
Megan North (32:34)
When you’re talking about your soul script, are you manifesting something specific or generally? Do you focus on many things or one thing for a week? People can get overwhelmed with a list. How do you manage that?
Kristine Genovese (33:07)
It depends. Before any big event, I create a Sacred Soul Script as the outcome — what happened, how it went, what I learned. Sometimes it’s a longer-term goal. I tell people to imagine it’s New Year’s Eve. What are you celebrating that you achieved personally?
In setting manifestation versus a goal, you write it as if you’ve already achieved it. What feels tangible, and what is the feeling when you achieve it? Freedom, divine love, gratitude? The emotion is more important than the intention.
The electric part of the electromagnetic field is the idea or intention — the masculine spark — sending the signal out. What magnetises things to you and collapses the wave into particle form is emotion. That’s why The Secret didn’t work for everyone: they didn’t have the emotional component. The subconscious responds to emotion, feeling, belief, not to anything else. That’s why we focus on emotion and belief.
Megan North (35:06)
I also believe we need to take action. If someone says they’re manifesting winning the lotto, I ask, do you buy tickets? “No.” Then how will you win? We need action for it to happen.
Kristine Genovese (35:51)
I call that inspired action. When you’re connected with the divine — whatever power source greater than you — ask, what do I need to do today so I can feel that sense of freedom in my business, or feel divine love in all that I do? Ask specifically how to feel that feeling in the work you’re led to do and in the way you’re being in the world.
Megan North (37:16)
Yes. Inspired action feels heart-led, not head-led. It levels up to that spiritual, divine emotion.
Kristine Genovese (37:16)
When I share levels of consciousness:
• Life is happening to me — victim, villain, hero.
• Life is happening for me — “life university,” where we see why things and people are in our life.
• Life is happening through me — the state I’m in when doing Soul Intelligence work, connected to someone and their guides, using charts and pendulum to discern specifics and shift them. Also when you write in divine flow.
• Life is happening as me — fleeting moments of oneness.
We’re not meant to sit on the mountain. The second you pull back into traffic, you may ask why someone cut you off — maybe to save you from an accident down the road. If you can stay where life is happening for you or through you more of the time, you’ll experience more peace and ease. That’s where I try to live.
Megan North (39:41)
I love that. And when we go back into our 3D human, “Why did that guy cut me off?” It’s a breaking state and self-awareness. When clients recognise they need to work on something and book a session, they’re halfway there.
Kristine Genovese (40:43)
That’s part of my method. It brings what’s in the subconscious to the conscious to be released, pain-free. Counselling often requires reliving the situation to move the energy. In my method, it comes up to be released. People cry sometimes — to me that’s holy water. It’s your soul releasing, which is why you feel so good after.
Most of the time, clients feel relaxed and calm, then I get texts the next day: “You won’t believe what happened.” I will, but I’m excited to hear it.
Recently I worked with a woman who trains health coaches. She said, “I haven’t had a period in three months, I don’t want my husband to touch me, I’m not feeling attractive, and my business is slowing.” I said, “I know what’s going on.” We did a session and looked at her sacral chakra — where we birth businesses and babies. She was 90 percent blocked. We cleared it.
Next morning: “Oh my God, I got my period last night, I let my husband hold me, and I had three new client emails.” We fixed the problem.
We forget we’re electrons, protons, and neutrons vibrating in an electromagnetic field. Everything is an energy transfer. The only way we see or hear each other is energy transfer. Frequency.
When you’re making out with someone, you’re not just swapping spit. You’re exchanging energy and opening yourself to their stuff. Often I find a client is carrying someone else’s energy.
Megan North (44:08)
All this energy work you do — beyond nature and the beach — what do you do to keep grounded when you need to come back down?
Kristine Genovese (44:37)
To keep grounded, I go out in nature first. I also use my method on myself weekly. I clear my own space and the space where I do energy work. I check in with myself.
Because I travel a lot, I regularly get massage or a chiropractic adjustment. I tell people: you go to the chiropractor for a biomechanical adjustment; you come to me for a bioenergetic adjustment. They work hand in hand. Release pressure on the spine to allow blood flow and nerves to release, and I can pull energy. Sometimes I pull energy out and then the spine moves. Massage works with chiropractic in the same way.
Megan North (45:45)
With the book journey, if someone has a great idea to write a book, how do they start? What advice would you give?
Kristine Genovese (46:04)
Initially I worked with someone who asked me questions and I responded. I took that transcript as a Q&A and made an ebook, which became the foundation for the physical book. I worked with an editor and publisher to make it a chapter book and added journal prompts so people have an experience.
Then I recorded the audiobook in a studio in LA. People say, “I listened and felt like you were giving me a healing.” Awesome — because I’m the one reading it. Many people listen rather than read now, so I invested in recording it.
Megan North (47:25)
On passion and purpose — have you needed flexibility in how you thought your journey would go versus how it has gone?
Kristine Genovese (47:50)
Does spirit ever give you a straight line? No. Even the book tour — you have an expectation of what it will be like versus what it is. When I’m manifesting, I use the phrase “this or something greater” so I’m set up to fall forward, not backward.
Much of Dr Joe Dispenza’s work is staying present and feeling how you’ll feel when the possibility arrives. I subscribe to that and it has served me well.
Megan North (48:47)
I’m glad you were specific about that. When people follow passion and purpose, they think, “This is what I’ll do and how it will work.” It rarely happens like that. Flowing, trusting, and being flexible is important.
Kristine Genovese (49:18)
It’s also about paying attention to synchronicities — little signs and messages. People might think you’re nuts, but it’s more fun. Numbers that keep showing up, a song that plays every time you think of something. Our guides and angels communicate through frequency. They’re vibrating at a higher level, so we don’t see them physically. They’re around us.
Even animals. I was on a call with someone considering my course to become a neuro-energetic healthcare professional. As I talked about how it would complement her coaching, a hawk flew right up — divine purpose. If you aren’t tuned in, you might think, that’s a cool bird. It’s more fun to look it up and ask what it means.
For my birthday, a girlfriend and I did a Thelma-and-Louise-style road trip. We didn’t drive off a cliff, but everywhere we went was magical. Someone sent me flowers and I brought them to the hotel. My friend said they’d make a mess in the car. I held them carefully. At the front desk, I set the bouquet down, and the woman said, “Would you like me to trim those? I’m also a florist.” Absolutely. How does that happen? It’s more magical when you let the universe throw those things into your path.
Megan North (52:09)
People say, isn’t that a coincidence.
Kristine Genovese (52:15)
It makes it so much more fun.
Megan North (52:19)
We only have a couple of minutes left.
Kristine Genovese (52:23)
Okay.
Megan North (52:25)
I could talk to you for hours. I’m going to ask the same question I ask all my guests. What is one lesson or truth you’ve learned on your journey that you wish you’d known earlier?
Kristine Genovese (52:40)
I wish I had kicked that self-limiting belief a lot sooner, before I had to go through three husbands and split my stuff three times. That was a very expensive lesson on self-limiting beliefs. If I can save you the pain, we need to kick the “I’m not good enough” belief well ahead of time. Otherwise, it’s very expensive.
Megan North (53:06)
I love that. Such a beautiful way to end our conversation.
Kristine Genovese (53:12)
What we’re doing right now is one of my favourite ways to raise vibration — laughter. You can go right up to joy quickly.
Megan North (53:21)
Absolutely. I love that. And I didn’t expect that, so thank you.
Kristine Genovese (53:26)
Good close-up.
Megan North (53:30)
Thank you so much for joining me today. I’ve loved our time together and I’m so excited for you with how everything is turning out — the book, Times Square, and all of these amazing things. Thank you for sharing you today.
Kristine Genovese (53:49)
My gosh, Megan, it was a pleasure. I wish we lived closer. Let’s hang out and have coffee. Hopefully we will. I’m throwing that out into the universe. We will have the opportunity to get together. I have chills.
Megan North (54:07)
Yes, and we’ll come back and let everybody know.
Kristine Genovese (54:10)
I love it. Thank you again. This was so much fun.
