    EP 81- Cut It Out

    In this episode of the Believing and Achieving podcast, I break down how to cut negativity out of your life—whether it’s negative self-talk, habits, or people that drain your energy. We talk about why awareness is the foundation for change, how negative habits often show up as comfort or distraction, and what it actually looks like to replace them with healthier patterns. I also explain the difference between self-evaluation and self-judgment, and why growth doesn’t require beating yourself up. This episode is about taking ownership of your mindset, choosing your emotional state, and learning how to respond to life’s challenges with clarity, intention, and control. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Cutting Out Negativity 02:36 Understanding Negative Habits and Their Comfort 04:09 Overcoming Negative Habits and Creating New Pathways 06:44 The Role of Environment and Self-Evaluation 09:33 Choosing Your State and Response 12:25 Final Thoughts on Positivity and Control

    EP 80- There Is No Way Around The Hard

    Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Embracing Hardship 01:03 The Consequences of Lowering Standards 03:02 The Importance of Intentional Action 04:40 Choosing Your Hard: A Path to Growth 05:40 The Myth of Temporary Standards 07:26 Conclusion and Reflection I talk about how life will always be hard in some way, and lowering your standards to make things feel easier often leads to guilt, loss of confidence, and feeling disconnected from who you want to be. I share how trying to simplify my life while balancing a full-time job and a business actually created more shame instead of peace. The real fulfillment comes from accepting that hard things are part of growth, keeping your standards high, and intentionally working toward your goals rather than avoiding discomfort.

    Ep 79- There Are No Wrong Decisions

    In this episode of the Believing and Achieving podcast, I share my own journey of learning through adversity and how my perspective on decision-making has evolved over time. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that there are no “wrong” choices when you’re genuinely trying to grow. Every decision gives you information, and that information helps you make better choices moving forward. I talk about how self-judgment and shame can quietly hold us back, especially when we’re afraid to make mistakes or take risks. Some of the moments I once labeled as failures ended up being turning points that shaped who I am today. Growth often comes from the experiences that challenge us the most. I close the episode with practical ways to reframe mistakes and setbacks, so you can stop seeing them as proof you’re failing and start seeing them as opportunities to learn, adjust, and keep moving forward. Chapters 00:00 Embracing Adversity: Lessons Learned 02:46 The Power of Decision-Making 04:28 Overcoming Self-Judgment and Shame 07:05 Turning Points: From Failure to Growth 09:31 Practical Applications for Personal Development

    EP 78 — Building a Multiple 6-Figure Career: What Tracee Wishes She Knew in Her 20s

    In this episode, I sit down with my mom, Tracee, to talk about how she built a multiple six-figure career—and what she wishes she had known in her 20s. We unpack the pressure young women feel to “have it all figured out,” how career paths actually evolve over time, and the role education, mentorship, and self-trust played in her success. Tracee shares hard-earned lessons on balance, managing anxiety, setting priorities, and why long-term fulfillment comes from continuous growth rather than rushing the process. Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Personal Reflections 02:18 Finding Your Passion 05:15 The Importance of Education and Career Choices 07:51 Balancing Career and Personal Life 10:27 Navigating Pressures as a Young Woman 12:55 Building Credibility and Success in Your Career 15:33 Continuous Learning and Innovation 18:03 Managing Anxiety and Setting Priorities 20:53 Final Thoughts and Encouragement

    EP 77- You’re Living Someone Else’s Definition Of Success

    In this episode, I talk about the importance of defining success for yourself and how that definition can change over time. I share why self-reflection matters, how societal expectations can quietly shape our goals, and why chasing someone else’s version of success often leads to confusion or burnout. I also discuss how aligning your goals with your true values and desires brings clarity and direction, and how faith has played a role in helping me live with more purpose and authenticity.
