    The Final Episode: The End of the Choose To Become Podcast

    This feels tender and sacred. In this final episode of Choose To Become, I’m reflecting on what this space has meant to me—the ways it’s held my becoming and hopefully supported yours too—and why it feels right to close this chapter now. I’ll share how I knew this season was complete, the quiet nudges and dreams that guided me here, and what it means to trust your own inner knowing even when it asks you to let go. This isn’t goodbye, not really. Something new is already stirring beneath the surface, and while I don’t yet have the words for it, I can feel it beginning to take shape. In the meantime, keep choosing to become who you are meant to become. ILYSM! Let's Stay Connected!

    100: Softness Is the New Savage (Here’s How to Get There)

    The parts of you you’ve been hiding? The ones you’ve labeled as too messy, too much, or not enough? They’re not your flaws—they’re your power. In this 100th episode of Choose to Become, I’m breaking down why shadow work is the key to emotional healing, self-acceptance, and finally feeling whole. We’ll talk about how cultural conditioning taught us to abandon ourselves, why softness is strength, and how to start reclaiming the parts of you you’ve been running from. It’s time to stop performing and start becoming you.

    99. The World’s on Fire. Here’s How You Stay Rooted, Regulated + Awake

    This one’s for the woman who’s been feeling it all lately—the heaviness, the fear, the deep knowing that something has to change. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to be awake in a world that keeps trying to put you back to sleep. We’re living through massive collective upheaval—climate crisis, crumbling systems, rising polarity—and if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you're going a little bit crazy… you’re not. You’re just awake. I break down the emotional and energetic toll of being conscious in an unconscious society, why nervous system regulation is your secret weapon, and how we, as women, can stop performing and start leading. This is about building self-trust, reclaiming your truth, and honoring your own awakening—even when it’s messy. Especially when it’s messy. This episode is part pep talk, part call to arms. Because the world doesn’t need more perfectly curated women—it needs more brave, embodied ones.

    98: What Your Jealousy Says About the Life You’re Not Living

    Let’s talk about her—the woman who triggered you on Instagram. The one living the life you say you want but secretly side-eye. In this episode of Choose To Become, we’re getting real about jealousy—not to judge it, but to mine it. Because jealousy? She’s not the villain. She’s the mirror. And what she reflects are the parts of you that are craving more… but you’ve been too afraid to admit it. We’re unpacking why your nervous system feels threatened by someone else’s shine, and how to stop making your envy mean you’re behind, broken, or bad. Instead, I’ll show you how to turn it into fuel—for embodiment, empowerment, and bold-ass self-permission. This is your wake-up call to stop playing small and start listening to what your jealousy is actually asking for: more of you.

    97: How to Choose Yourself First in Love, Life, and Career

    In this episode of Choose to Become, Lindsey breaks down why waiting to be picked is a trap—and how reclaiming your power starts with strengthening your self-concept. If you've ever lost yourself trying to be chosen (by a partner, a job, a room), this is your reminder: you're not here to audition. You're here to own your worth. We unpack Pick Me energy, how it shows up in relationships and career, and why being celebrated (not just tolerated) requires a deeper belief in your enoughness. This one’s part pep talk, part personal growth blueprint—and a full permission slip to choose yourself boldly, unapologetically, and without waiting for anyone else to cosign it.

    96: If You’re Waiting to Be Ready, You’ll Be Waiting Forever

    In this fiery mid-year pep talk, Lindsey is calling you in with love—and a little side-eye. If you’ve been stalling, spiraling, or stuck waiting for the “right time” to begin, this episode of Choose to Become is your wake-up call. Lindsey unpacks the myth of readiness and why waiting for confidence, clarity, or perfect timing is just fear in disguise. Instead, she invites you to take imperfect, sacred action now—especially during the summer, a season of visibility, blooming, and boldness. You’ll learn why readiness is a muscle (not a mood), how to take baby steps toward your vision, and what accountability and visualization can do for your momentum. Whether you’ve been ghosting your goals or just needed a reminder of your own power, this one’s here to lovingly drag and deeply empower you.

    95: The Truth About Wanting More—Even When Life Looks “Good”

    Feeling restless in a life that once felt like the dream? You’re not broken—you’re waking up. In this episode, Lindsey reframes the so-called midlife crisis as a midlife awakening and invites you to see your desire for more as a sacred nudge, not a red flag. Through personal stories, powerful questions, and a dose of tough love, she’ll help you explore what you really want next—and why it’s not too late to go after it. If you’ve been silently wondering, “Is this all there is?”—this one’s for you.

    94: Shadow Work: Because “Good Vibes Only” Isn’t Growth

    This week, Lindsey dives deep into the real work of healing: shadow work. She unpacks the danger of toxic positivity and why bypassing your pain in the name of “good vibes only” keeps you stuck. Instead, Lindsey offers a soulful and honest exploration of how facing your shadow—your unmet needs, suppressed emotions, and unhealed wounds—is an act of radical self-love. If you’ve ever felt guilty for not feeling “high vibe” enough or pressured to stay positive when you’re actually struggling, this episode is your permission slip to get real. Lindsey breaks down the signs of spiritual bypassing, the power of emotional intelligence, and the truth about what it really takes to grow. This is for anyone in the messy middle—the ones learning to love themselves through the discomfort, not around it.
