    The Restless Leader: Transforming Life Transitions Into Powerful New Beginnings

    Ever felt a restlessness stirring beneath the surface, even after you’ve accomplished all you set out to do? This doesn’t mean you’re flawed, but rather an invitation to evolve, redefine success, and use your wisdom in new ways.  This week on The Change Effect, I’m diving into the all too familiar experience for high-achieving women of being a “restless leader.” Whether you find yourself leading teams in boardrooms, managing households, navigating caregiving roles, or simply holding everyone together, you’re not alone if things feel unsettled, even when life looks successful from the outside.

Or maybe you knew exactly what you needed to do, even if you couldn't logically explain it? Most of us call it a gut feeling, a hunch, an instinct; I call it your intuition, and it’s something we use far more than we realize. This week on The Change Effect, I’m talking about how to recognize and trust your intuition.  Get 20% off your Day by Daybook®  with the discount code NEW20 here.  In this episode, I discuss: How to recognize the subtle signs of intuition and distinguish them from anxiety, fear, or external pressure.Practical strategies for integrating intuition with logic, using both your internal compass and your map as you navigate decisions.Simple observation practices to notice intuitive signals, like paying attention to your body’s responses or recurring thoughts.The importance of building your “intuition muscle” through low-stakes decisions and the power of keeping an intuition journal as a trust builder.Ready to tap into your inner knowing? I invite you to start noticing, start listening, and start trusting your intuition—even just a little more than yesterday.

    Carly Catherine: Exploring EFT Tapping for Stress, Burnout, and Inner Peace

    When life feels like an endless list of demands, how do you find peace and safety in your own body?  This week on The Change Effect, we're joined by Carly Catherine, Certified Teacher, Emotional Success Coach, and founder of The Healing Hive. In this episode, she shares how nervous system regulation and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) tapping helped her move from exhaustion and hyper-independence to a life of emotional expansion, creative joy, and authentic self-trust. Get 20% off your Day by Daybook®  with the discount code NEW20 here.  Carly Catherine is an Ontario Certified Teacher and EFT Practitioner who helps women and educators move from survival mode to emotional expansion through nervous system regulation and EFT tapping. After years of people-pleasing, over-functioning, and pouring everything into her students, family, and work, Carly hit a breaking point—realizing she’d built a life that looked “successful,” but left nothing for her.  Through the practice of EFT tapping and nervous system work, she began unwinding patterns of hyper-independence and self-abandonment, learning to feel safe in her body, express her emotions, and reclaim joy, creativity, and purpose. Now, she teaches others to do the same, bridging science and soul to help women and educators regulate stress, build emotional capacity, and lead from self-trust instead of burnout.  Carly is the founder of The Healing Hive, a global EFT tapping membership and community for women, and she also leads workshops in schools and organizations focused on emotional regulation, well-being, and embodied leadership. In this episode, Carly and I discuss: Carly’s journey from chronic people-pleasing and burnout to reclaiming her voice and joy with nervous system regulation.The science and practice of EFT tappingPractical ways to use tapping in everyday lifeHow modeling nervous system regulation in the classroom helps students (and teachers) break cycles of dysregulation and discover emotional safety early.Why asking for help and setting boundaries aren’t signs of weakness, but the ultimate acts of strength and self-honor.Whether you’re new to EFT tapping or searching for real tools to navigate stress, anxiety, or burnout, Carly’s story offers practical insights and encouragement to find safety and possibility within.
