In this episode, I share some thoughts on how self-sabotage is not merely a sign of weakness or failure, but rather a form of self-protection driven by our subconscious mind. When we find ourselves on the brink of progress, it's common to experience a pullback into old patterns. I want to help you understand why this happens. I challenge the traditional narrative around self-sabotage by encouraging listeners to ask more empowering questions. Instead of questioning, "Why am I doing this?"—which can lead to feelings of shame—I suggest we ask, "What is my subconscious trying to tell me?" This...

In this episode, I share some thoughts on doubt and how much space it takes up in our lives. Doubt can occupy a significant portion of our lives, often overshadowing our sense of certainty and self-confidence. This episode emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and regulating our emotions, particularly doubt, which can feel like a volcano ready to erupt. I share personal anecdotes about my journey, illustrating that even when it seems like others have it all together, they, too, grapple with similar feelings of uncertainty.

In this episode, I am sharing the message of being "cracked open" by life's challenges and how these moments can lead to personal growth and clarity. I begin by sharing a powerful quote from Rebecca Campbell's book, "Light is the New Black," which emphasizes the importance of embracing the things that break us down, as they ultimately allow the light to shine through. This is a personal episode as I share the story of my husband, Brad, a Master’s Olympic lifter, who faced a serious injury during a competition. As he set national records, he suffered a painful elbow injury that required...

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the concept of readiness and how it is a lie. I challenge the notion that we must feel 100% ready before starting new ventures. Drawing from personal experiences, I emphasize that readiness often results from taking the leap, not a prerequisite. I encourage listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider times when they felt prepared entirely—chances are, those moments are few and far between. I also touch on the significance of identity work, urging listeners to envision the person they aspire to be and to act as if they are already that...

That experience shaped her mission: to help women see their strengths, celebrate themselves, and embrace self-care as an act of self-respect. Through her skincare brand, The Detour Co, Rebecca reminds...

In this episode, I highlight the importance of awareness in recognizing these limiting beliefs. I discuss how our subconscious can drive us back to familiar patterns, often leading to self-sabotage. I encourage listeners to confront these thoughts and reframe them, asking themselves whether they are valid. Doing so can interrupt the negative loops that keep us from reaching our full potential. Things can become easier, but they never truly become easy. As we grow, we often confront subconscious beliefs that can hinder our progress. I candidly share my experiences of feeling nervous and...

In this episode, I explore how we can shift our mindset from feeling like an imposter to embracing our authority. I start by posing a thought-provoking question: How would you like to perceive imposter syndrome differently? I emphasize that authority doesn't have to be a triggering term; it can simply mean owning your life and your message. Throughout the episode, I discuss the common reasons behind imposter syndrome, such as caring deeply about our work and comparing ourselves to others who seem more experienced. I highlight the importance of recognizing that we often compare our beginning to...

In this episode, I dive into how big you allow yourself to dream. Where do you see yourself in two to three years? Will you live your dream, or will you still be in the planning, thinking, or avoiding phases? Throughout the episode, I emphasize the role of our subconscious mind in shaping our beliefs and goals. Many people settle for comfortable and familiar aspirations, but I urge you to break free from that mindset. By examining your past achievements and recognizing how far you've come, you can begin to dream beyond what you think is possible. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Importance of...
