Please Note: This is the first episode in the Pruning Season Series.

“You don’t have a strategy problem… you have a letting go problem.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon

This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz.

After having served thousands of entrepreneurs and small business owners who desire to grow, leverage and scale their businesses, I have learned that pruning is a big part of the journey of scaling. But here’s the part no one tells you… growth is not being blocked because something is broken. Growth is being blocked because something is still working that you were never meant to take forward. And if you’re honest, you already know what it is. The offer. The identity. The version of you that built this level. This episode is going to confront the lie that more strategy is the answer, and reveal the truth that your next level is waiting on your willingness to release what you’ve outgrown. If your business feels stalled, heavy, or misaligned… this is not the episode you casually listen to. This is the one that reads you.

If your business feels stalled, heavy, or like it’s taking longer than it should to reach your next level, this conversation will disrupt everything you think you know about growth. In this raw and real kickoff to the Pruning Season series, Dr. Darnyelle breaks down the truth about why high-performing entrepreneurs hit invisible ceilings, not because strategy isn’t working, but because they’re holding onto offers, identities, and business models they’ve already outgrown. This episode explores business growth stalls, CEO identity evolution, scaling challenges, nervous system resistance, letting go in business, and why pruning is the prerequisite for sustainable 7-figure and multi-7-figure expansion.

Here’s the truth: you are not stalled because nothing is happening… you are stalled because you are holding onto something God is trying to end. And no amount of strategy can override resistance to release.

You’ll walk away with clarity around what pruning actually looks like in real time, the five stages every CEO experiences in a pruning season, and how to recognize whether you are resisting, delaying, or actively stepping into your next level. You’ll also understand why what feels like confusion is actually divine recalibration.

Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover:

✔ how to identify when your business stall is caused by resistance instead of strategy
✔ how to recognize the difference between growth and misalignment
✔ how to release what is no longer serving your next level without fear
✔And so much more

This episode is a call to unequivocally radical honesty. To stop pretending your next level requires more effort and finally admit that it requires more surrender. It is a call to release the version of you that got you here so you can become the version required for where you’re going..

This is your invitation to to pause long enough to see what you’ve been avoiding. To name what you already know needs to go. To stop negotiating with your next level and start trusting that what you’re being asked to release is not loss… it’s preparation

“You are not stalled because God is not moving… you are stalled because you are holding on.”

Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening:

What am I currently holding onto that I already know I’ve outgrown?
Where in my business am I trying to fix something that is meant to end?

What would happen if I trusted that this season is preparation, not punishment?
