Feeling like you have to crush a day job, build a business, run a podcast, and somehow still “work on yourself”? In this episode, Inner‑Abundance Coach Claudia Noriega‑Bernstein calls out the toxic hustle narrative and explains why real boundaries are not about controlling others, but about the promises you make to yourself to protect your energy, time, and future. She breaks down how to design a clear life vision by asking who you need to become, setting concrete timelines, and attaching real emotions to your goals so they’re more than vague wishes.Claudia goes deep into why you don’t get what you want, you get what you are: your habits, your self‑talk, your environment, and your “frequency” all determine what you actually attract. She shares practical steps to replace self‑sabotaging habits instead of just “trying harder,” upgrade your circle so you’re not dragged down by constant complainers, and handle setbacks without spiraling into self‑loathing by getting curious about your patterns instead of shaming yourself. You’ll also hear how to make manifestation tangible, using specifics, vision boards, and even physically visiting the life you’re calling in, so your brain starts treating your next level as normal, not impossible. Topics: - The real purpose of boundaries as promises to yourself, not tools to control others - Getting clear on who you want to become, then building a detailed life vision with timelines and attached emotions - Why most core desires (money, house, success, family) trace back to wanting to feel loved, seen, and like you matter - “You don’t get what you want, you get what you are”: raising your inner “frequency” so you can attract the life you’re aiming for - Changing habits by replacing, not deleting them, and upgrading your environment and “tribe” instead of staying around complainers - Handling setbacks without self‑loathing: noticing familiar patterns, getting curious about where they come from, and consciously redirecting - Making manifestation tangible with specifics and exposure (e.g., walking the neighborhood, vision boards, feeling as if it’s already yours) so your brain treats the goal as real and possible Guest: Claudia Noriega‑Bernstein – Inner‑Abundance Coach, three‑time cancer survivor, immigrant, mother of three daughters and two stepdaughters.
