    231. (PEP TALK!) How to Stop Delaying the Life You’re Meant For

    In today’s episode, I’m giving you a real pep talk about why you might be stuck circling the same desires. This isn’t a polished, “do these five things and everything will magically work” episode. It’s an honest conversation about the patterns I see all the time: waiting until you feel ready, telling yourself it’s not the right time, and staying comfortable even when something inside you is asking for more. In this episode, we talk about: • The “it’s fine” mindset that quietly keeps you settling • Why fear shows up as overthinking, procrastinating, and second-guessing • What it actually means to decide and why dabbling keeps you stuck • How your identity and daily choices shape your confidence • A simple daily practice to help you build momentum and trust yourself again This episode is for you if you’ve been feeling restless, burnt out, or like you’re meant for more but you’re not sure how to make the leap yet. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this might be it. Listen to similar episodes: 130.

    229. Ending the Burnout Cycle: How to Stop Being a Prisoner in Your Own Business

    In today’s episode, I’m breaking down how to stop running a business that runs you. Scaling your business doesn’t magically fix your mindset, it just makes it more expensive. If your business feels all-consuming, stressful, or disconnected from the life you actually want, this episode is your wake-up call. We’re going beyond surface-level strategy and diving into the mindset, identity, execution, and responsibility roadblocks that quietly keep entrepreneurs stuck, burned out, and chasing instead of leading. In this episode, we cover: • The most common mindset traps that keep entrepreneurs stuck. • Why not defining your version of being “enough” leads to burnout, overworking, and resentment in your business. • The execution habits that slow growth, including overconsuming content, perfectionism, and constantly switching strategies. • How your responsiveness blocks sustainable business growth. • Practical tools to reclaim your time, energy, and autonomy while building a business that actually supports your life. This episode is a grounded reality check for anyone ready to build a successful business without sacrificing peace, freedom, or fulfillment. Your business should serve your life, not trap you.

    228. How Personal Development, Manifestation & Overconsumption Are Destroying Self-Confidence

    In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on some uncomfortable truths I’ve been noticing lately - about self-improvement, manifestation culture, and constant content consumption - and how, when taken too far, they can quietly erode your self-confidence instead of building it. This is a candid, reflective conversation about discernment, personal power, and remembering that you are not broken, behind, or missing anything. Here’s what we explore in this episode: How personal development can unintentionally reinforce the belief that you’re “not enough yet”Why over-consuming podcasts, content, and coaching advice can block intuition and self-trustThe subtle ways manifestation “rules” turn into pressure, fear, and perfectionismHow marketing and social media can quietly chip away at confidence if you’re not discerningThe difference between healthy growth and constantly trying to fix yourselfWhy self-trust, not more information, is the real foundation of confidenceHow identity work can feel expansive instead of heavy, exhausting, or never-endingThe shift from “what do I need to heal?” to “what if I’m already enough to receive?” If this episode resonates, let it be an invitation to slow down, tune inward, and clean up what you’re consuming - not because you need to be better, but because you deserve to feel grounded, confident, and at peace with who you already are.

    Redefining Success After Motherhood: Pivots, Identity & Letting Go of Comparison Ft. Kacia Ghetmiri

    In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Kacia Ghetmiri, host of the empowerHER podcast, a mom and wife, speaker, real estate agent, investor, and serial entrepreneur, for an honest, grounding conversation about what happens when success, identity, and ambition shift after becoming a mother. We talk about the quiet (and not-so-quiet) identity unraveling that can happen in this season, the pressure to “bounce back,” and the permission required to redefine success on your own terms - not based on who you were before or what anyone else is doing online. This episode is for you if you’re navigating a pivot, feeling disconnected from old goals, or craving a more sustainable, self-trusting version of success in this next chapter. Here’s what we explore together in this conversation: The behind-the-scenes decision to pause and pivot away from a multiple–seven-figure brand, and how Kacia navigated fear, intuition, and outside opinionsHow to trust yourself when you know something no longer fits, even when you don’t yet have clarity on what’s nextThe identity shifts that happen when motherhood meets entrepreneurshipReleasing comparison — both to past versions of yourself and to other women in different seasonsHow to identify the season you’re in, own your capacity, and stop forcing yourself to want what no longer feels trueWhat Kacia’s current season looks like now, what she’s doing differently this time, and how joy and fun have become her compass If you’re an entrepreneur, a mom, or a woman navigating a season of change — questioning what you want, how you want to work, or what success really means to you now — this conversation will meet you right where you are. More about Kacia: Kacia Ghetmiri is a mom and wife, speaker, real estate agent, investor, and serial entrepreneur. She’s known for her instant-bestie vibe and candid storytelling as the host of the empowerHER podcast, a high-energy show with 13M+ downloads. She also co-hosts the Ghet Investing podcast with her husband, where they share real-world lessons from building their $6M real estate portfolio over the last three years.

    226. The Science of Self-Trust: How to Become Someone Who Follows Through on BIG Goals in 2026

    HAPPY 2026! In the spirit of the new year, we’re getting into the real science behind self-trust. Not the fluffy “just believe in yourself” kind, but what actually makes someone follow through on big goals, bold visions, and the life they say they want. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a loop of getting excited, setting intentions, and then ghosting your own goals… This conversation is for you. I’m breaking down how self-trust is built (and rebuilt), why motivation isn’t the problem, and how identity, nervous system safety, and consistency all play a role in becoming someone who actually does the thing - especially as we head into 2026. Here’s what we get into in this episode: What self-trust actually is from a neuroscience + identity perspectiveWhy breaking promises to yourself erodes confidence faster than failure ever willThe connection between nervous system regulation and following through on goalsHow to stop overplanning and start building evidence that you’re someone who shows upWhy small, aligned actions matter more than big, dramatic resetsThe identity shift required to hold bigger goals without self-sabotageHow to rebuild trust with yourself after a year of burnout, inconsistency, or overwhelm This episode is equal parts grounding and activating. It’s meant to help you walk into 2026 feeling steady, self-led, and deeply anchored in your ability to create what you want. And if this lands for you, come tell me over on Instagram (@iamnoravirginia). I love hearing what clicks!

    225. 2025 Year-in-Review Alignment Audit: A Guided Visualization and Journaling Practice

    In today’s episode, I’m guiding you through a powerful year-in-review alignment audit designed to help you consciously close out the year and step into the next one with clarity, intention, and self-trust. This is a grounding visualization and journaling practice to help you reflect on what truly added to your life, what quietly drained you, and what you’re ready to release so you can move forward feeling lighter and more aligned. Think of this episode as a sacred pause - a moment to zoom out, honor your growth, and intentionally choose how you want to feel, live, and lead yourself in the year ahead. After listening, take time to journal with these prompts to deepen the integration: What things drained my energy this year, and what am I officially choosing to release? (consider people, relationships, parts of your career/business, and inner workings + patterns)What brought me the most joy, fun, or aliveness this year and how can I intentionally expand these in my daily life? (consider people, relationships, parts of your career/business, and inner workings + patterns)If joy and alignment led every decision I made in January 2026, what would shift immediately in how I show up, spend my time, and support myself?If I lived all of 2026 the same way I want to live January, who would I become and what would my life look + feel like? Let this episode be your permission slip to choose yourself, choose joy, and move forward with clarity instead of pressure. Take your time with it, and if this practice lands for you, I’d love to hear what came up! @iamnoravirginia Support the Podcast & Get Your Questions Answered: If this episode supports you, it would mean the world to me if you are able to take two minutes to rate it on Spotify and give it a follow/subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, so you get notified when weekly episodes drop!

    224. Parts Work: How To Shift How You See Yourself and Run Your Business Ft. Sara Avant Stover

    In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with the incredible Sara Avant Stover for a conversation that is going to shift the way you see yourself, your business, and your inner world. We’re diving deep into parts work (also known as Internal Family Systems or IFS) - the modality that has completely changed how I move through triggers, make decisions, show up as a mother, and lead inside my business. If you’ve ever wondered why you “know what to do” but still don’t do it… or why certain patterns and fears keep resurfacing even as you grow… this episode is going to feel like a massive exhale. Sara breaks down the psychology, the spirituality, and the practicality of working with your inner parts in the most grounded, beautiful way. Here’s what we drop into inside this episode: What IFS actually is, and how it connects your human self with your highest, divine selfThe difference between protectors, managers, firefighters, and exiles (and how to work with each of them)Why your triggers aren’t the problem, but the doorwayHow re-parenting your inner parts creates real self-worth, emotional safety, and new neural pathwaysWhat to do in the moment when you feel activated, unseen, dismissed, or overwhelmedHow parts work helps entrepreneurs move through visibility fears, burnout patterns, undercharging, and people-pleasingWhy grief, heartbreak, and major life transitions (like motherhood or a big move) awaken the parts that need the most loveThe truth about building a sustainable business that honors your nervous system, your rhythms, and your humanity This episode is truly a warm hug for your nervous system — equal parts grounding, eye-opening, and soul-nourishing.
