You’ll learn: What an identity shift actually is (and why 75% of growth depends on it) The three stages of lasting transformation: awareness, activation, and embodiment How to create your identity dec...

Today I bust the quiet belief that you are a problem to be fixed. I show you why shame and perfectionism show up, why they keep you stuck, and how your survival brain prioritizes familiar over growth. What you learn: Why the survival brain creates perfectionism, avoidance, overeating, overworking, and people pleasing as protection How shame keeps you from looking at your patterns, and how awareness opens choice and peace The difference between fixing yourself and understanding yourself, and why ...

If you’ve ever felt like something’s wrong with you because you’re overwhelmed, anxious, procrastinating, or doubting yourself — this episode will change how you see everything. Your brain is wired for safety, not success. So when you go to change, rise, or create something new… your brain pulls the emergency brake. In this powerful episode, I walk you through: What’s actually happening when your brain offers you overwhelm, confusion, frustration, self-doubt, or fear Why your brain repeats the s...

Leadership isn’t just about titles, teams, or business goals, it’s about how you lead yourself every single day. It’s the energy behind your choices, the tone you set for your life, and the presence you bring to every room you walk into. In this episode,I explore what it really means to embody leadership energy, especially when things feel uncertain or heavy. I share how to lead from intention instead of reaction, how to recognize when you’re leaking energy in areas that need your leadership mos...

You can take all the right actions—post the content, send the email, check off the to-do list—and still feel stuck, burnt out, or like nothing’s working. Why? Because how you feel when you act matters more than the actions themselves. In this episode, I share why your energy, your beliefs, and your feelings are the foundation of every result you create, and how shifting them changes everything. If you want to take this work deeper and figure out where you are going wrong, I have a couple of ways...

Let’s talk about what managing your mind actually is, because it’s more than a buzzword, and it’s not just positive thinking. This week, I’m breaking down what it really means to manage your mind vs. letting your mind run the show—and how it’s quietly affecting everything: your body image, your business, your parenting, your money, your confidence. You’ll hear: • Why your brain isn’t built for growth—and what to do about it • How unmanaged thoughts lead to sabotage, perfectionism, and people-ple...

What if the thoughts in your head aren’t actually yours? In this episode, I take you into the heart of one of the most life-changing lessons I’ve ever learned: you get to choose what you believe. From the moment my first coach told me I wasn’t a prisoner to my thoughts, everything shifted. I talk about what it means to witness your inner “roommate,” how repetition rewires your brain, and why belief is the foundation of becoming the next version of you. You’ll hear stories about my own journey ar...

If you’re on a journey to become someone new—to level up, to shed old limiting beliefs and patterns—this is the story of what it may look like. The nuances will be different for everyone, but the process is real, and if you don’t know what to look for, it can take you down. That’s why I wanted to get this episode to you as fast as possible. What I’m sharing is what’s known as the dark night of the soul, a concept first described by 16th-century Spanish mystic St. John of the Cross. For me, it ha...

Your triggers aren’t random outbursts or proof that something’s wrong with you. They’re deeply personal “tells” — signals from your body that you don’t feel safe. In this episode, I break down why triggers develop, how childhood experiences and past traumas shape them, and why they look different for everyone. You’ll hear real-life examples...from my own triggers around money and body image to the ways clients have discovered their fears of being unheard, abandoned, or not good enough. Together...

This is the most powerful episode of You Get to Decide yet. Intrusive thoughts are those unwelcome, painful whispers that sneak in and feel so true, they can shake your confidence, your peace, and even your body. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s recent reflection on her own intrusive thoughts, I’m breaking down what they really are, why your brain throws them at you, and—most importantly—how to stop letting them run the show. In this episode, I share deeply personal examples, the most common intrusive...

If your brain were a courtroom, would your dreams or your doubts win the case? Every day, your defense (the beliefs that support what you want—like the possibility of a loving relationship, financial freedom, or peace in your daily life) and your prosecution (the beliefs that tell you why you can’t—like “there’s not enough time,” “I’m not smart enough,” or “it’s not safe to be seen”) are making their arguments. The one with the most evidence always wins. And here’s the truth—you’re the judge. In...

Faith changes everything...how we handle fear, how we move through struggles, and how we see ourselves even how we handle the little things..

I’ll also walk you through 3 powerful coaching questions to help you explore where faith shows up in your l...

What if you’re only operating at 40% of what you’re truly capable of? In this episode, I’m sharing why I believe we all have infinite capacity — emotionally, physically, intellectually, and operationally — and how to start accessing more of it. From powerful real-life examples like David Goggins, astronauts who turned a crisis into purpose, and everyday people who expanded what they thought was possible, I’ll help you see that you can hold far more than your brain tells you. If you’ve been feeli...

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about power. In today’s episode, I’m sharing one of my most-used personal coaching tools...a single question that has helped me pull myself out of spirals, soften shame, and reconnect with the version of me I actually want to be. How do I want to remember this day? This question has brought me back to myself more times than I can count, from moments of self sabotage, to guilt around rest, to disconnecting from myself, or to people-pleasing at parties. I’ll walk ...

Not all negative emotions are created equal. Some keep you stuck. Others can move you forward. In this episode, we explore the difference between unproductive emotions like shame, resentment, and overwhelm and productive ones like courage, discipline, and vulnerability. You’ll learn how to spot when you’re spiraling, how to shift your mindset, and what it really means to move from avoidance to action. This isn’t about forcing yourself to feel better, it’s about understanding what your emotions a...

In this episode, I share a story about a conversation that led to being misunderstood—and the powerful reminder it gave me. Some of the hardest moments come when you know who you are, but someone else sees something different.

If you try to rest and just end up feeling more anxious, more guilty, or more overwhelmed… you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m unpacking why resting is so hard even when you know you need it. Because it’s not just about taking a break. We’re getting honest about why rest feels wrong for so many of us and how it’s not laziness, it’s actually part of our survival wiring. We’ll talk about what your nervous system really needs, how old beliefs around worth and control get in the way, and what it ...

If you’ve ever felt like you had to pick one truth this is your episode. We’ve been taught to think in black and white. All or nothing. You’re either healed or you’re not. Successful or failing. Disciplined or off track. But the truth about the truth? Both can be true. This episode is your permission slip to stop using your humanness against yourself and start seeing your setbacks as part of the path, not proof that you’re doing it wrong. I’ll share personal stories, how I use this with my clien...

Let’s talk about burnout something so many of us can relate to but that never really serves us. In this episode, I break down what burnout actually is, where it really comes from, and how to recognize it (even when it doesn’t look like total exhaustion). Because burnout doesn’t always mean crashing on the couch. It can look like overthinking, people-pleasing, or just feeling off no matter how much you’re doing. I talk about the actions and thoughts that quietly create burnout, what to do about i...

This episode is a wake-up call. We’re talking about belief...the kind that changes how you show up, how you handle inconvenience, setbacks, and the day-to-day stuff that makes most people quit. What would shift if you actually believed your goal was inevitable? If you knew you could create any result. Whether it’s in your business, your life, or your body? Would you keep spinning? Holding back? Starting over? I share how this directly relates to so many things but especially weight loss—and why ...

We spend a lot of time noticing what’s wrong. What’s missing. What we need to fix. But what if we started by looking at what’s already working? In this episode, I walk you through a simple but powerful activity to help you find the thoughts that are already for you, thoughts that prove you’re more ready than you think.

Ever feel like you’re doing all the things but still stuck in the same place? In this episode, I’m not giving you answers — I’m talking about the kinds of questions that change everything. The ones that stop you in your tracks, shake you out of the story you’ve been telling, and call you into something deeper. Because the right question? It pulls you out of patterns. It makes you look at where you’ve been outsourcing your power. It helps you stop waiting for permission and start owning your next...
