    96. Relationship Revolution: The Beginning of Love

    We’ve been taught that love is something to earn, secure, or lose. Your relationship isn’t broken. That premise is. In this special excerpt from my new course Relationship Revolution, I dismantle the conditional, performance-based model most of us are unconsciously running — and why it quietly guarantees insecurity, resentment, and dissatisfaction. If your access to love depends on someone else’s behavior, you’re not in love. You’re in a power struggle. This episode is about ending that struggle at its root. . . ✅ Doors to my Feel Better For Good group coaching program are officially OPEN!

    95. Why Love Feels Hard—And How Security Changes Everything

    Love doesn’t feel hard because you’re broken. It feels hard because of how your nervous system learned to attach. In this episode, we unpack attachment styles from childhood to adulthood, how they quietly shape our relationships, work, and sense of self, and why so many people feel stuck repeating the same patterns. Then we shift into what secure attachment actually looks like in real life — not just in relationships with loved ones, but in how you relate to yourself, your purpose, and the life you’re building. This is about moving from survival mode into a life that feels steady, connected, and safe to live inside. Includes a 3-step practice for intentionally security creation in your life and relationships. . ✅ Register for the free masterclass BREAKING THE LOVE CURSE: How to Have Better Relationships ✅ ⁠Follow on Instagram⁠ for daily tips & inspiration ✅ Book your free coaching consult at ⁠⁠⁠effielavore.com⁠

    94. It's All Made Up

    This episode is a vital exploration of the mental rulebooks we mistake for reality. Using the metaphor of dating, Effie looks at how unspoken rules, assumptions, and survival-based narratives shape our behavior—and why they often keep us stuck, reactive, and disconnected from our own authority. Today we're challenging the belief that certainty creates safety, and offers a new way of relating to discomfort, power, and choice. Because the most exhausting pressure in your life isn’t coming from reality. It’s coming from what you’re believing.

    93. Unreasonable Optimism & Strategic Pessimism

    What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of confidence or discipline—but a brain that’s doing its job a little too well? In this episode, we break down how our natural negativity bias quietly shapes our goals, decisions, and willingness to go after what we want. We’ll talk about when pessimism is actually useful, what to do when it becomes self-defeating, and how to use unreasonable optimism to make bold moves without lying to yourself about reality. This episode is for you if you’ve ever: talked yourself out of a desire that really mattered quit on a goal and told yourself it “wasn’t meant to be” felt burned by the past and afraid to hope again We’ll reframe optimism and pessimism not as personality traits, but as trainable habits—and I’ll show you how to channel both in a way that expands your capacity for courage, resilience, and reward. . . ✅ ⁠ Leave a podcast review for a chance to win a $100 VISA gift card! ✅ ⁠Follow on Instagram⁠ for daily tips & inspiration ✅ Book your free coaching consult at ⁠⁠⁠effielavore.com⁠ Episode #16: How to Believe in Yourself Episode #42: How to Stop Doomscrolling in Your Head

    92. Availability Isn’t Alignment

    Today we're talking about at how we as high-performing women are conditioned to accept what’s offered, resist who’s offering, or say yes out of guilt—without ever pausing to check alignment. The result? An avalanche of unnecessary stress caused by incongruence.  Here, we explore how to interrupt those reflexive responses by asking a few simple questions before giving an answer on any offer that comes your way. If you’re craving empowerment, a more honest way of living, and stress relief that actually lasts, this episode will give you a simple but powerful practice for choosing from integrity instead of habit. . . ✅ ⁠Message me here on Instagram / here on Facebook⁠ for my list of NEUTRAL RESPONSES to help you practice the pause and power up your decision making ✅ Book your free coaching consult now at ⁠⁠⁠effielavore.com⁠

    90. What if You're Wrong About Who You Are?

    If you’ve been getting the same outcomes no matter how hard you try, this conversation will challenge you to examine the assumptions you’re living from. We talk about discomfort as a necessary part of personal growth, how identity shapes behavior, and why exploring the edges of who you think you are is essential for meaningful change. This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, outgrowing an old version of themselves, or sensing that reinvention is calling—but isn’t sure where to begin. You’ll explore: Why identity—not effort—is often the real bottleneck The value of being wrong about who you are How discomfort signals growth, not failure What it actually takes to create different results in your life If you’re ready to loosen your grip on an outdated self-concept and step into a more honest, expansive version of yourself, start here. ✅ RSVP for my free masterclass, HOW TO NOT REPEAT 2025 ✅ Ready to turn the tide of your life in 2026?

    89. The Life Waiting for You on the Other Side of Reinvention

    In this episode I take you through a real day in the life after reinvention—a day shaped by ease, congruence, and aligned action instead of hustle, pressure, and “productivity.”  I share what my days used to look like (constant busyness, overcommitting, burnout, perfectionism)… and what they look like now that I no longer measure myself by how much I get done. You’ll hear exactly how identity-level reinvention changes your energy, your actions, your pace, and the way you move through the world. This is the lived difference between hustling for your worth and creating from who you are. If you're craving a life that feels spacious, grounded, and genuinely energizing, this one's for you...  → The doors to my exclusive private coaching programYour Year of Reinvention are now open.
