This podcast is for the woman who has built success — and is now sensing a deeper calling. You’ve done everything “right”: built a career, carried responsibility, created results. And still, there’s a quiet knowing that your real purpose isn’t fully expressed yet. After more than two decades in performance-driven corporate and advertising environments, Brenda redefined her relationship to success, identity, and self-trust. She now works at the subconscious and energetic level, helping women reconnect with their inner authority and clarify what they’re truly meant to do in this next chapter of life and business. These conversations aren't about hustle, manifestation tricks, or surface-level mindset work. They’re about purpose, identity, nervous-system safety, and the deeper recalibration that happens when you’ve outgrown who you used to be. If you’re successful on the outside but sensing there's something more on the inside, and you’re ready for clarity without the fluff, you’re in the right place. If this podcast resonates with you, leaving a review is a simple way to support the show and help these conversations reach the women who need them. INSTAGRAM:

    The Fall of the Guru Era (And Why It's Actually Good News for You)-ep 225

    The guru era is ending. And I don't mean that as a metaphor. In this episode I get into something I've been sitting with for a while — the real reason the coaching industry is collapsing, why the word "coach" has started to carry a whole lot of weight, and what's underneath the collective disillusionment so many people are feeling right now. This isn't just about a saturated marketplace, it's about a power dynamic that was broken from the start. We get into: The specific power dynamic that broke the industry's trust, and why it was never going to hold Why borrowed strategy creates borrowed confidence, and why borrowed confidence is fragile The energetic gap, the space between what you're doing and who you actually are What it actually means to take your discernment back The questions to sit with if you've been white-knuckling someone else's strategy If you've done everything right on paper and still keep hitting the same ceiling, this one's for you. _______________________________________________________________ ✨ Connect with Brenda Free 30-min Subconscious Strategy Session — A direct, honest conversation about what you say you want, and what might actually be in the way. 👉 Book Your Session Join Brenda on Substack — Longer, more unfiltered reflections on identity, fear patterns, energetic design, and what it actually means to build from yourself instead of someone else's blueprint. 👉 Subscribe here Get social with Brenda on Instagram

    The Identity That Built Your Success Might Be Limiting Your Life - ep. 224

    What if the version of you that built your success is the same version limiting your expansion? In this episode, I explore the hidden cost of performance-based identity, and why strategy isn’t the real issue for most high-achieving women We get into: How conditioning shapes the way you lead, love, and receive The difference between mind fear, emotional fear, and identity fear Why the fear you think you have is rarely the real one How performance-based safety blocks intimacy, overflow, and ease The subtle ways you may be turning growth into another form of proving This isn’t about optimizing your funnel or refining your messaging. It’s about who you had to become in order to succeed, and whether she’s the woman who can hold the life you say you want next. If you’ve ever felt successful but still slightly tense… capable but not settled… expanding but not spacious — this episode is for you. __________________________________________________________________ ✨ Connect with Brenda Free 30-min Subconscious Strategy Session A direct, honest conversation about what you say you want, and what might actually be in the way. 👉 Book Your Session Join Brenda on SubstackLonger, more unfiltered reflections on identity, fear patterns, energetic design, and leadership.

    Why “Pick Me” Energy Is Killing Real Connection - ep. 223

    In this episode, I’m unpacking something I noticed while putting myself back into real-life rooms, and once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it. This isn’t about confidence. It’s not about messaging. And it’s definitely not about needing a better elevator pitch. It’s about why so many conversations feel performative instead of powerful, why polished introductions fall flat, and how “pick me” energy quietly kills real connection, even when you’re saying all the right things. We’re talking voice, energy, orientation, and what actually creates connection when you stop auditioning and start engaging. In this episode, we explore: Why networking has drifted into performance instead of connection How “pick me” energy shows up in polished, over-coached voices The difference between speaking at a room and speaking into a conversation Why telling women to “speak up” misses the real issue How the frequency of your voice changes when your attention moves outward ✨ Want more grounded, honest conversations like this? I’ve started writing on Substack, a free space for honest thinking about identity, energy, and self-trust (aka intuition), especially in seasons of transition. No annoying algorithms or inbox overload.  👉 SUBSCRIBE to my SUBSTACK

    The Real Reason Things Stall Right Before the Next Level - ep. 221

    You’re clear on what you want. You’re capable, experienced, and "not waiting for permission". So why does momentum slow down right when it’s time to make a move that actually matters? In this episode of the Limitless Life Podcast, we’re unpacking the real reason things stall right before the next level, and why labeling it as “fear of success” misses what’s actually happening underneath. If you’ve ever felt excited, aligned, and ready… but you noticed hesitation or delay when things became real, this episode will help you understand why, without pathologizing it or turning it into another thing to fix. Inside this episode, we explore: Why unrecognized fear often increases as success, visibility, and responsibility grow The difference between conceptual fear, emotional fear, and survival-level fear Why survival fear doesn’t stop action — it quietly downshifts momentum How your system evaluates whether the next level is safe to hold, not just reach Why intentions and clarity don’t stick when sustainability hasn’t recalibrated How to observe where things slow down without judgment or self-sabotage This episode also sets the foundation for a new live workshop I’m hosting called The 20 Fears on Feb 12, 2026 It's a FREE 2-hour diagnostic experience designed to help you identify the subconscious and energetic patterns that shape your decisions, timing, and follow-through long before you’re aware of them....registration opens soon.If you’re recognizing yourself in this conversation and want support seeing what’s really shaping your timing and follow-through, you can book a free Subconscious Strategy Session wth me And if you want to stay connected between episodes, connect with me over on Instagram: @_brendajohnston

    Quantum Leaps Don’t End With Fireworks (Why Integration Is the Real Work) - ep. 220

    If you’ve made a decision, felt the shift, and instead of feeling energized or excited you feel… quieter, this episode is for you. This episode is for women navigating growth, leadership, business expansion, and identity shifts who want their next level to actually hold. This is the close of the Quantum Leap series, and it’s not about initiating another leap or pushing yourself forward. It’s about understanding what actually happens after the shift, why this phase feels unfamiliar, and how capable women unintentionally undo momentum by trying to manage what needs to settle. This episode is for the woman who knows something has changed, but doesn’t want to walk herself back out of it by overthinking, optimizing, or forcing clarity. In this episode, we talk about: Why real quantum leaps rarely feel dramatic after the decision is made How to recognize the quiet signs that you’re already “in it” Why over-analysis shows up after clarity, not before The difference between intuition and restlessness disguised as discernment Why integration, not speed or activation, is what makes a leap hold How subtle energetic shifts get destabilized by unnecessary effort The takeaway:A quantum leap doesn’t collapse because you weren’t ready. It collapses when you don’t let it become normal. Next step:If you’re on the edge of a leap, or in the quiet phase after one, and want clarity on what’s actually running your system underneath the strategy, book a free 30-min Subconscious Strategy Session with me.👉 BOOK YOUR SESSION HEREGet Social with me on INSTAGRAM: @_BrendaJohnston

    Why Most Quantum Leaps Collapse (And How to Stabilize Yours) - ep. 219

    If you’ve made a decision about your next level, your business, your identity, how you work, and instead of feeling unstoppable, you feel… off, then this episode is for you! This isn’t about mindset or astrology (even though I do mention that), and it’s definitely not a sign that you're being tested. This is about what actually happens in your system after a real decision, the decision to have a quantum leap and move forward...this is about the part no one prepares you for, and where most women quietly pull back. ⏱ Episode Breakdown [00:00 – 03:10] Why January is an energetic “loading screen” (and why forcing a fresh start doesn’t work) [03:11 – 07:45] Snake year → Fire Horse energy: why the shift feels fast, confronting, and uncomfortable [07:46 – 12:30] The moment clarity lands, and why it feels different during a quantum leap [12:31 – 18:20] Why confidence often wobbles after the decision (not before) [18:21 – 24:10] What’s actually happening in your subconscious and nervous system during this phase [24:11 – 30:40] Why fatigue, hesitation, and distraction are recalibration signals, not red flags [30:41 – 36:15] The difference between intuition and your system defaulting back to safety [36:16 – 41:00] How most women unknowingly undo their quantum leap, and how not to be one of them Next step: If you’re in that in-between space and you don’t want to default back to old patterns, book a Subconscious Strategy Session, and we'll see what areas you may have subconscious or energetic limitations happening and what needs to shift. 👉 BOOK YOUR STRATEGY SESSION Let's get social, connect with me over on Instagram: @_brendajohnston
