The Lit Up Life with Debbie Heiser
What if the reason you are working so hard but not seeing results has nothing to do with effort and everything to do with clarity? In this first episode of Season 8, I break down one of my favorite Universal Laws, the Law of Cause and Effect, and how it quietly shapes every outcome in your life and business. Being busy does not create momentum. Clear intention does. We talk about why vague goals dilute results, how resistance and fear block progress without you realizing it, and why action without alignment often leads to burnout instead of breakthrough. The effect you want matters, but only...

What if being seen feels hard because your nervous system doesn’t feel safe yet? In this episode, I sit down with “Spider” Meka Hemmons to explore why visibility can feel tense or overwhelming for so many women, and how that shows up far beyond the camera. We talk about creating calm before being seen, not by fixing how you look, but by shifting how you feel in your body. Meka shares how old messaging, cultural pressure, and constant stimulation shape self-image, and why regulation must come before confidence if real change is going to stick. This conversation is about feeling safe,...

Have you ever known exactly what to do, yet felt unable to make yourself do it? I see this pattern everywhere right now. Capable, disciplined people who are not burned out because they are lazy, but because their nervous system, identity, and ambition are no longer aligned. When pushing harder becomes the default response, the body eventually says no, not because you are broken, but because the model no longer works. This kind of burnout is not about motivation. It is about safety, capacity, and the messages your nervous system is responding to beneath your conscious goals. ✔️ Recognize...

What if one word could shape the way you move through the entire year ahead? In this episode, I’m sharing my favorite end-of-year ritual: choosing a Word of the Year and pairing it with a vision board to anchor your focus, your intention, and your emotional tone for the year. Resolutions fade because they rely on force. A word works because it connects with your subconscious, your nervous system, and the version of you you're becoming. You’ll hear why this practice interrupts old patterns, strengthens the neural pathways you want to grow, and helps you filter decisions through a clearer,...

What if the goals you're setting aren’t actually big enough to activate the version of you who can achieve them? In this episode, I’m breaking down big juicy goals and why the goals that actually change your life can’t come from logic alone. They have to be felt, embodied, and rooted in the identity of the version of you who already has them. When you understand the neuroscience and subconscious patterns behind your behavior, goal setting becomes aligned and sustainable. You’ll hear how emotion activates the subconscious mind, why embodiment creates belief, and how universal laws...

Do you ever feel like conflict hits you harder than it hits other people? If you’re a highly sensitive person, there’s a good chance your nervous system processes stress, emotion and tension more intensely. In this episode, I’m joined by Todd Smith, a stress management expert for highly sensitive people, to explore why conflict feels overwhelming and how to approach it with confidence instead of avoidance. Todd shares what it really means to be a highly sensitive person and why traits like empathy, depth of processing and emotional awareness can make everyday interactions feel heavier....

Where are your thoughts leading you? If you’ve ever caught yourself spiraling into self-doubt, overthinking, or feeling “stuck,” this episode will remind you just how powerful your mind truly is. I’m unpacking the Universal Law of Thinking, the principle that says whatever we consistently think about, with emotion and belief, expands into reality. In this conversation, I share how clarity and self-trust work together to turn invisible ideas into tangible results, both in life and business. You’ll learn how to recognize when your thoughts are working for you or against you, and how to...

Have you ever stopped to wonder if the very thing holding you back, might not even belong to you? In this intimate coaching episode, I invite you into a private mastermind call where two of my clients and I uncover the hidden subconscious blocks that keep so many women stuck between what they want and what they believe they’re allowed to have. We explore how old messages, family conditioning, and inherited “loyalty pacts” shape the way we show up in life and business, often without us realizing it. You’ll hear the real coaching moments that help bring awareness, freedom, and new...

In this first episode of Season 8, I break down one of my favorite Universal Laws, the Law of Cause and Effect, and how it quietly shapes every outcome in your life and business. Being busy does not create momentum. Clear intention does.
We talk about why vague goals dilute results, how resistance and fear block progress without you realizing it, and why action without alignment often leads to burnout instead of breakthrough. The effect you want matters, but only when you are clear enough to choose causes that actually support it.
I also share personal examples around manifestation, belief systems, and being open to receiving support in unexpected ways. The Law of Cause and Effect is always working. The question is whether it is working intentionally or by default.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- Why clarity must come before action if you want real results
- How resistance shows up when fear is running the decision
- What it really means to back engineer aligned action without hustling
If you are feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or frustrated by a lack of results, this episode will help you slow down, get clear, and move forward with purpose and intention.
