    EP 392 | Identity Shifts and Nervous System Safety: The Missing Link in Growth | Andrea Crisp

    We don't stall because we lack discipline. We stall because our nervous system doesn't feel safe holding desire.  In this episode, we explore why identity shifts require a nervous system upgrade and why safety, self-leadership, and co-regulation are the real foundations of sustainable success. If you've ever: Felt activate when you start earning more money Sabotaged growth just as things begin working Hustled harder and still felt behind Wondered why mindset work alone doesn't stick You don't need less ambition, you need more capacity to hold it.  If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to upgrade your identity and nervous system capactiy, reach out to me to explore ways we can work together (both group and 1:1).  Let's connect @andreacrispcoach + andreacrisp.ca Original music and production by Stephen Crilly.

    EP 391 | Beyond Survival: Redefining Strength and Self-Leadership

    In this episode, we are continuing the series on moving from courage to alignment by exploring the deeply ingrained "strong woman" identity — and how survival can quietly shape our leadership, nervous system, and relationship with rest. I share personal reflections on growing up as the emotional rock, living in survival mode, and learning to soften into embodied self-leadership rather than urgency and self-abandonment. In this episode, we explore: What survival really looks like beneath the surface How survival often disguises itself as strength, competence, and responsibility The nervous system patterns behind being "the strong one" Survival leadership vs. self-leadership Why slowing down can feel unsafe — and how to rebuild safety• What embodied energy looks like in daily life and decision-making How to trust your intuition and inner authority without forcing clarity This episode is for you if you're the one everyone leans on. If thinking about rest makes you feel guilty and if slowing down makes your feel uncomfortable.   How to work withe me:   Learn more about one-on-one coaching -> Align Coaching Group mastermind & coaching -> Align & Empower   Let's Connect:   Find me on Instagram -> @andreacrispcoach Find me on Insight Timer -> Free Meditations Find me on the Web -> andreacrisp.ca   If this episode resonated, pleases share it with someone who needs the reminder that they don't have to be the strong one.   Original Music and Production By Stephen Crilly.

    EP 390 | From Surviving To Living: My Evolution | Andrea Crisp

    "Courage taught me how to survive. Alignment is teaching me how to live." After almost a decade, The Couragecast is entering a sacred transition. In this episode, I share the heart behind the closing of the courage season—not as a goodbye rooted in loss, but as a completion rooted in truth. Courage carried me through burnout, life transitions, leaving ministry, deconstructing faith, building a business, and learning how to choose myself. But courage, as a way of leading and living, no longer fits who I am becoming. This conversation is an honest reflection on the evolution from fear-led courage to soul-led alignment. It's about outgrowing survival mode, releasing identities that once kept us safe, and learning how to live—and lead—from embodiment, intuition, and trust. In this episode we explore: Why courage was necessary for survival—but not for this next chapter The difference between fear-based bravery and soul-led alignment How survival leadership shows up in the body and nervous system Letting go of hustle, urgency, and proving What it means to move from surviving to truly living A gentle somatic reflection to honor completion and emergence This episode includes a simple embodied pause to help you reflect on what feels complete in your own life and what is ready to be released so you can soften into what's emerging next. "Courage built the bridge. Alignment builds the home." How to Work With Me: I work with intuitive, high-capacity women who are transitioning out of survival mode and into embodied, soul-led leadership. In 1:1 Align Coaching we go beneath the surface together. You'll release the patterns that keep you overworking, people-pleasing, or looping in self-doubt, while healing blocks to confidence, worthiness, and abundance. Align & Empower is for heart-centred women ready to grow embodied confidence and self trust—supported, seen, and expanded through conscious community, not burn out. This small-group coaching container designed for women who want to expand their influence while staying fully grounded. Together, we release limiting beliefs, cultivate embodied leadership, and create a safe, supportive space to explore aligned action. You'll gain clarity, confidence, and presence in your life and work, learning to lead with ease and impact while staying deeply connected to yourself. Aligned Money is an eight-week coaching container for heart-centred female leaders and entrepreneurs who feel stuck and stressed around money and want grounded safety, trust and the freedom to receive more. You can find my guided meditations, somatic practices, and nervous system support on Insight Timer. These practices are designed to help you come home to your body, soften out of survival, and reconnect with intuition and trust. Search my name on Insight Timer and follow along.

    EP 389 | You're Being Called Forward: Not To Do More, But To Lead Differently

    You may be in the "messy middle" of your life or business, that space that I call an identity limbo. Maybe you've left and old way of being behind, but haven't fully stepped into what's next — and that uncertainty feels unsettling.  In this episode, I share what it truly feels like to move beyond hustle, burnout, and trying to follow the prescribed path, and instead step into aligned, embodied leadership. This is about showing up fully as yourself in business, life, and relationships — and trusting your inner guidance along the way.  In this episode, we explore: Why transitioning from old ways of being often feels uncertain and uncomfortable. Being seen isn't about doing more — it's about trusting yourself more. True leadership begins with being self-directed, aligning with your inner knowing. Success comes when you take intentional steps and trust divine timing. Embodied leadership flourishes in supportive spaces where you feel witnessed. Your choices, voice and alignement have a greater reach than what you see. "Embodied leaders don't have to perform. They don't have to constantly be on. They simply trust themselves, follow their intuition, and lead with their values."

    EP 388 | You're Not Broken: You're Outgrowing The Way You've Been Leading

    Lately, I've been hearing the same thing over and over again from the women I'm in community with: "I'm unmotivated. I'm exhausted. I'm questioning everything." And yet, rest doesn't seem to fix it.  In this episode of The Couragecast, I'm naming a different kind of burnout — the kind that doesn't come from doing too much, but from leading in a way that no longer fits who you're becoming. This conversation is not about finding another strategy, adding another healing modality, or figuring out how to push through. It's about recognizing when your nervous system, your energy, and your identity are no longer aligned with the way you've been showing up.  Burnout from misalignment often feels like disorientation rather than exhaustion — a loss of desire, a quiet resistance to what used to work, and a deep knowing that you're here for more, but you refuse to do it the old way. This isn't a problem to fix: it's a transition to honour.  In the episode, we explore:  The difference between burnout from overdoing and burnout from misalignment Why intuitive empathic leaders are especially vulnerable right now The invisible exhaustion of always holding space, being strong, and being the "guide". How healing work can quietly turn into self-monitoring, hesitation, and self doubt. What it means to be in an identity limbo — knowing you're here for more, but not knowing what's next.  Connect With Andrea: @andreacrispcoach Align & Empower Mastermind is a hybrid coaching/mastermind for women who are no longer interested in pushing, proving, or performing in their leadership. It's a space for intuitive, heart-centred leaders who are ready to release identities they've outgrown, reclaim their energy, and lead from embodiment, clarity and support — personally and professionally.  Original music and production by Stephen Crilly.

    EP 387 | Purpose, Pauses, and the World We're Living In | Andrea Crisp

    At the beginning of the year, many of us felt hope, clarity, and momentum. And then life happened. The world intesified politically, socially, emotionally and suddenly that early-year energy felt harder to access.  In this episode of The Couragecast, we explore what it means when purpose driven, intuitive women feel heavy, slowed down, or disoriented by the collective weight of the world. This conversation is for anyone questioning their momentum, alignment, or sense of direction and wondering if slowing down means they've lost their way.  This episode gently reframes heaviness not as failure, but as awareness. It offers grounded, nervous-system-informed perspective on momentum, rest, and sustainable leadership—espectially for sensitve, heart-led women navigating work, business, and life during uncertain times.  In this episode we discuss: Why collective events don't just happen "out there" but are felt deeply in the body. Why intuitive, empathic, purpose-driven women are especially impacted right now.  How the belief that momentum requires contant output and how that creates burnout.  The difference between slowing down and shutting down.  Why alignment often requires recalibration rather than acceleration.  How tending to your nervous system now protects long-term momentum. What it means to stay connected to yourself without forcing progress.  Connect with Andrea on Instagram: @andreacrispcoach Free Meditations on Insight Timer: Listen Here Be Held: Nervous System Reset For Women Who Lead: Join me for a supportive, grounding space for women who are holding a lot and need a place to soften, exhale, and be supported—emotionally, energetically, and spiritually.  Wednesday, January 21st at 1 pm - $22 USD Align & Empower: A deeper coaching container for intuitive, heart-led women ready to lead with embodiment, alignment, and sustainable impact—without doing it alone.  Learn More About Align & Empower Music and Production by: Stephen Crilly

    Ep 385 | The Quantum Power of Community: Using Your Human Design Profile | Andrea Crisp

    What if the breakthrough you've been chasing wasn't hding in another strategy, another round of inner work, or another 'push harder' season ... but in letting yourself be held? Most women aren't — they're under-supported. And once you understand how your Human Design profile impacts the way you thrive in community, everything starts to click.  In this episode of The Couragecast, I share the most unexpected shift that changed my business, my healing, and my entire nervous sytem this year: being part of life giving community.  We explore how your Human Design profile actually reveals the way you grow, rise, and regulate best — whether you're a 1/3, 2/4, 4/6, or 6/2. I break down the mistakes so many of make (like confusing independence with isolation), how different profiles are uniquely wired for community, and why your next level isn't meant to be done alone.  I'm sharing personal stories from my group programs, and the energetic truth behind why transformation accelerates inside the right rooms — especially when collective intention, shared energy, and co-regulation are present.  This episode is for the heart-led, spiritually minded leader who wants to grow their business, heal their money stories, regulate their nervous system, and lead from deeper level of embodiment in 2026.  We dive into: Why women feel stuck when really they are under-supported. Human Design profiles to help you grow in community. Why co-regulation accelerates your transformation. How to choose the right community.  Why community becomes a quantum field. If 2026 is the year you stop doing everything alone and finally step into rooms that match the woman you are becoming, Align & Empower is where that shift happens.  This 5-month coaching mastermind is designed for spiritually minded women ready to rise with community, regulate with support, and expand through aligned leadership. If you want to be held, seen, supported and challenged this is your room. Spots open in January with early access available now at the 2025 rate. Message me to claim your space. Let's connect and keep the conversation going. Instagram: @andreacrispcoach Website: andreacrisp.ca
