    Break Anxiety & Stress Patterns: Emotional Resilience (Anthony Abbagnano) Part 2

    Why do the same emotional challenges keep showing up—no matter how much inner work you do? In Part 2 of this deep and transformative conversation, Janelle continues her discussion with Anthony Abbagnano, author of Outer Chaos, Inner Calm, exploring how anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm are often driven by subconscious coping mechanisms formed early in life. This episode goes beyond awareness and into real, embodied change. Anthony shares how healing actually reveals itself—not as perfection or constant calm—but as increased ease, presence, and emotional resilience in everyday life. Together, they explore how repeating relational and emotional patterns are often the result of unconscious commitments, and how bringing those patterns into awareness can become one of the most powerful coping methods for long-term stress management. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same cycles—emotionally, relationally, or financially—this episode offers insight that is both practical and deeply compassionate. Why this conversation matters: This episode is especially powerful for women who: Feel emotionally overwhelmed but don’t know why Notice repeating relationship or life patterns Carry stress silently while supporting others Want healthier coping methods without numbing or avoidance Are ready to move from survival mode into sustainable inner calm This episode invites you to stop fixing—and start listening. ____ Find Anthony Abbagnano: Outer Chaos, Inner Calm by Anthony Abbagnano Free weekly breathwork sessionsAlchemy of Breath & Asher Global community and trainings HERE Instagram: @alchemyofbreath _____ Find Janelle Plamondon: Instagram: @wellnesstogreatness Youtube: @WellnessToGreatness www.wellnesstogreatness.ca

    Anxiety & Stress as Signals with Anthony Abbagnano (Part 1)

    Do you ever feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted, even though everything on the outside looks “fine”? In Part 1 of this thoughtful and grounding conversation, Janelle sits down with Anthony Abbagnano, author of Outer Chaos, Inner Calm, to explore how anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm are often signals—not failures—and how awareness can become one of the most powerful coping mechanisms we have. This episode speaks directly to women, caregivers, and service-driven leaders who feel stuck in survival mode, constantly managing others while quietly ignoring their own inner chaos. Anthony offers a refreshing perspective on coping methods that don’t involve numbing emotions, forcing positivity, or pushing harder—but instead learning how to listen to the body and nervous system. Together, they unpack why so many high-functioning women stay in fight-or-flight, how unconscious coping mechanisms are formed, and what it looks like to gently shift toward nervous system regulation and emotional resilience. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why feeling stuck and confused is not a flaw—but a powerful moment for growth How anxiety and stress show up in the body as signals, not problems to fix The difference between fear-based reactions and intuitive awareness Why caregivers and helpers experience emotional overwhelm more frequently How unconscious coping mechanisms develop—and how to bring them into awareness Simple coping methods for stress that support nervous system regulation Why breath awareness is one of the most overlooked stress management tools How failure and shame can be reframed into sources of personal power Anthony also shares how learning to face fear—rather than avoiding it—can reduce its intensity and restore a sense of inner calm. This conversation invites you to slow down, build emotional awareness, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels supportive, not overwhelming. This is just the beginning. In Part 2, on February 18th, Anthony dives deeper into practical tools and inner practices that help cultivate tranquility, clarity, and confidence—especially during seasons of uncertainty and emotional stress. If you’ve been searching for healthy coping methods for anxiety, ways to manage stress without disconnecting from yourself, or simply permission to pause and listen inward, this episode is for you. ____ Find Anthony Abbagnano: www.alchemyofbreath.com Book: Outter Chaos, Inner Calm Instagram: @alchemyofbreath Asha.global ____ Find Janelle: Instagram: @wellnesstogreatness Youtube: @WellnessToGreatness www.wellnesstogreatness.ca

    Feminine Intuition, Flow & Alignment: How Trusting Yourself Creates Ease in Life

    Have you ever noticed that when something is truly aligned, it doesn’t feel forced — it feels effortless? Decisions come quicker. Resistance fades. And life seems to meet you halfway. In this final episode of the Feminine Intuition series, we explore why following your intuition leads to flow, ease, and alignment — not just emotionally, but neurologically and experientially. This episode ties together everything we’ve learned about intuition, nervous system regulation, confidence, and self-trust — and shows you how feminine intuition becomes a powerful leadership tool in your home, relationships, and everyday life. In this episode, you’ll learn: What flow, ease, and alignment actually mean (and how to recognize them in your body) Why intuition is a form of pattern recognition, not guesswork How successful women and leaders rely on intuition for major decisions Why exhaustion, burnout, and over-functioning disconnect you from intuitive clarity How feminine leadership doesn’t require force, control, or constant logic Why aligned decisions create less internal conflict and faster “yes or no” clarity How nervous system safety allows intuition to guide even simple daily choices Why intuition feels quiet and calm — not urgent or chaotic Practical tools shared in this episode: How to notice what feels easy vs. heavy in decision-making Tracking intuitive decisions and their emotional outcomes Using journaling to uncover unconscious commitments and limiting beliefs A powerful opposite-hand journaling exercise to access deeper intuition Rewriting unconscious patterns into conscious commitments Using conversation (not fixing) as a nervous system regulation tool Why slowing down is essential for aligned decisions You don’t need to force clarity. When your body feels safe, intuition naturally rises to the surface. Your intuition isn’t a mystical whisper — it’s your brain, body, and lived experience speaking in harmony. And when you trust it, life begins to feel less like resistance… and more like flow. _____ Book: Outer Chaos, Inner Calm by Anthony Abbagnano _____ Find Janelle: Instagram: @wellnesstogreatness Youtube: @WellnessToGreatness www.wellnesstogreatness.ca

    Guided Meditation for Asking for Help: Find Clarity, Support & Your Next Step

    Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step — but don’t know who or how to ask for help? In this gentle guided meditation, we slow down, quiet the noise, and create space to reconnect with your inner knowing. This practice is designed to support you during challenging moments when you feel like you’re carrying everything on your own. Many of us are conditioned to believe we must “figure it out ourselves.” But true growth, healing, and forward movement often begin when we allow support — from within, from others, or from something greater than us. In this episode, you’ll be guided to: Release the pressure to have all the answers Safely explore what you truly need right now Let go of guilt or resistance around asking for help Connect with your body’s wisdom and intuitive guidance Identify one small, supportive step forward This meditation is perfect for moments of: Emotional overwhelm Burnout or decision fatigue Relationship challenges Career or life transitions Feeling disconnected, stuck, or uncertain You don’t need to fix everything today. You don’t need to do it alone. Sometimes clarity comes when we finally allow ourselves to receive.

    Why Asking for Help Feels So Hard: Healing Generational Trauma & Learning to Receive Support

    Have you ever known you needed help… but couldn’t bring yourself to ask for it? Felt like you should be able to handle it on your own — even when you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling? In this deeply grounding and eye-opening episode, I’m joined by Arianne Moore, a multi-disciplined healing practitioner with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals through trauma, anxiety, depression, and emotional healing. Together, we explore why asking for help feels so unsafe, especially for women and mothers who’ve been conditioned to be strong, capable, and self-sufficient — often at the cost of their own wellbeing. This conversation goes beyond surface-level advice. We dive into the generational and nervous system roots behind our resistance to vulnerability, and why so many of us learned that needing support equals weakness, failure, or burden. But this episode isn’t just about understanding why — it’s about gently opening the door to what’s possible when we allow ourselves to receive support. In this episode, we explore: Why asking for help feels so hard (even when we know we need it) How generational trauma and family conditioning shape our relationship with support The connection between trauma, nervous system safety, and vulnerability Why self-sufficiency can become a survival pattern How to know when it’s time to seek therapeutic support How to find the right therapist and modality for your needs What it feels like when therapy is actually the right fit How healing often begins with three simple words: “I need help” This episode is for you if you: Feel overwhelmed but struggle to ask for support Were taught to “be strong” and handle everything alone Feel guilt, fear, or shame around needing help Are curious about therapy but don’t know where to start Want to break generational patterns for yourself — and your children You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin healing. You just need a safe place to start. 🎧 Press play and allow this conversation to soften the belief that you have to do it all alone. _____ Find Arianne Moore: Instagram: @ariannemooreofficial www.ariannemoore.com _____ Find Janelle: Instagram: @wellnesstogreatness Youtube: @WellnessToGreatness www.wellnesstogreatness.ca

    How Feminine Intuition Builds Confidence & Self-Trust (Backed by Science)

    Have you ever made a decision that didn’t make sense logically — but felt right in your body? And afterward, you felt more confident… more grounded… more trusting of yourself? In this episode, we explore why listening to your intuitive inner voice strengthens confidence and self-trust — not just spiritually, but scientifically. This is Part 4 of our feminine intuition series, where we move beyond “woo” and into real neuroscience, lived experience, and practical tools that help you trust yourself again. In this episode, you’ll learn: The key difference between confidence (belief in your abilities) and self-trust (belief in your inner guidance system) How the brain reinforces decisions when you follow your intuition Why trusting your intuition builds stronger commitment and clarity over time How using your “true self” as a guide leads to greater decision satisfaction The connection between confidence, self-esteem, and emotional resilience Why intuition strengthens confidence through experience, not personality The difference between aligned confidence and overconfidence or arrogance How intuitive decision-making creates calm, clarity, and inner peace — even in chaos Why intuition builds confidence: Each time you listen to your inner knowing — even in small ways — you reinforce your internal compass. Your brain learns: “I can trust myself.” Over time, this creates powerful feedback loops that strengthen self-trust, confidence, and clarity — not through force, but through embodied experience. Confidence doesn’t come from having all the answers. It comes from trusting yourself enough to take the next step.Your intuition isn’t just a voice — it’s a neuro-physiological tool that strengthens confidence and self-trust only when you give yourself opportunities to use it. _____ Book: "Outer Chaos, Inner Calm," by Anthony Abbagnano _____ Find Janelle: Instagram: @wellnesstogreatness Youtube: @WellnessToGreatness www.wellnesstogreatness.ca
