    Rule #2 YOUR MINDSET CREATES YOUR REALITY 👏🏻

    🎙️ Coach Stephanie Carrodegua Podcast Rule #2: Choose Thoughts That Serve You Your Mindset Creates Your Reality Not every thought that enters your mind deserves to stay there. And not every thought you have is the truth. We have thousands of thoughts moving through our minds—thoughts about ourselves, our relationships, our bodies, our careers, our finances, our futures, and what we’re capable of. Some of those thoughts empower us. And some of them keep us stuck. Rule #2 is: Choose Thoughts That Serve You. Because what you repeatedly think about influences what you believe. What you believe influences the decisions you make. And the decisions you make, over and over again, help create the life you experience. 🧠 Pay Attention to the Story You’re Telling Yourself Think about some of the things you might say to yourself without even realizing it: “I’m terrible with money.” “I can never stick with anything.” “I’m too old to start over.” “I’m not confident enough.” “Nothing ever works out for me.” “I’m just not that kind of person.” When we repeat these thoughts long enough, we can start treating them like facts. But what happens if we challenge them? Instead of: “I can never stick with anything.” Try: “I’m learning how to become more consistent.” Instead of: “I’m terrible with money.” Try: “I’m learning how to manage my money differently.” Instead of: “I can’t do this.” Try: “I haven’t figured out how to do this yet.” You’re not pretending everything is perfect. You’re choosing a thought that leaves room for growth. ❤️ Choose Thoughts That Move You Forward Choosing thoughts that serve you doesn’t mean ignoring difficult emotions or pretending negative things don’t happen. This isn’t about toxic positivity. Sometimes things suck. Sometimes you’re scared. Sometimes you’re disappointed. Sometimes you’re angry. Acknowledge it. Feel it. But then ask yourself: Is the story I’m creating around this helping me move forward—or keeping me stuck? That’s where your power comes back. You get to decide what receives your energy. You can feed the thought that says: “I’m never going to figure this out.” Or you can feed the thought that says: “This is difficult, but I can figure out my next step.” Both acknowledge the challenge. Only one gives you somewhere to go. 🌱 Your Mind Is a Garden Think of your thoughts like seeds. Whatever you continually water is what eventually grows. If you’re constantly watering comparison, fear, self-doubt, resentment, and everything that’s wrong with you, those thoughts are going to take up a lot of space. But you can intentionally begin watering something different. Confidence. Possibility. Gratitude. Self-compassion. Curiosity. Growth. You don’t have to believe every thought simply because your brain produced it. You get to choose what you water. 💭 This Week’s Challenge This week, pay attention to your internal dialogue. Choose one thought that repeatedly shows up and doesn’t serve you. Write it down. Then ask yourself: Is this actually true? Where did this belief come from? How does believing this affect my actions? And most importantly: What thought could I choose instead that is both honest and more supportive of the person I’m becoming? Write your new thought somewhere you’ll see it. Say it in the morning. Come back to it when the old thought appears. Practice it. Because changing your mindset isn’t usually one giant breakthrough. It’s catching yourself little by little and choosing differently. Again. And again. And again. Your mind is your garden. Be intentional about what you water. 🌱❤️ Thank you for listening to the Coach Stephanie Carrodegua Podcast. Until next time, protect your energy, pay attention to your inner dialogue, and keep intentionally creating a life that feels like you. ❤️

    Rule #1: Be Honest With Yourself — Awareness Creates Change

    Rule #1: Be Honest With Yourself — Awareness Creates Change Real change starts with honesty—not judgment, shame, or beating yourself up, but being willing to look at your life and ask: What’s working? What isn’t? And what am I ready to do differently? In this first episode of The 7 Rules for a Life That Feels Like You, Coach Stephanie Carrodegua explores why self-awareness is one of the most powerful tools for creating sustainable change. Sometimes our intentions and our daily actions aren’t telling the same story. We say something is important to us, but our habits, boundaries, time, or energy may be showing us something different. Instead of judging yourself for that disconnect, this episode is about getting curious about it. You’ll learn how to separate honesty from self-criticism, recognize patterns that may no longer be serving you, and take an honest look at whether the goals you’re pursuing actually fit the life you want to create. Stephanie also shares a simple self-audit you can use to ask yourself: What’s working? What isn’t? What am I avoiding? Do my habits reflect what I say matters to me? And what is one small thing I can change? You don’t need to change everything at once. You just need an honest starting point. 🌱 Awareness creates change.
✨ Little by little, a little goes a long way. You have the power to create your life—and you don’t have to create it alone. — Coach Stephanie Carrodegua ❤️

    Be Your Biggest Cheerleader: Trust Your Vision 💯

    🎙️ The Empowerment Podcast with Coach Stephanie Carrodegua Episode Title: Be Your Biggest Cheerleader: Trust Your Vision At some point, you have to become the person who believes in your dream before anyone else does. You have to become your own biggest cheerleader. Because not everyone is going to understand your vision. Not everyone is going to see what you see. And sometimes the people who love you the most will question your decisions—not because they want you to fail, but because they’re looking at your dream through the lens of their own experiences, fears, limitations, and expectations. Listen to advice. But don’t give everyone a vote. There’s a difference. 💜 Advocate for the Life You Want We talk a lot about advocating for ourselves in relationships, at work, and with our health. But we also have to advocate for our dreams. If something matters to you, protect it. Speak about it. Make decisions that support it. Put energy behind it. And stop requiring everyone around you to understand it before you give yourself permission to pursue it. Sometimes you’re going to be the only person who can see where you’re going. That’s okay. 🧭 Tune In Before You Tune Out We live in a world filled with outside stimuli. Social media.
Friends.
Family.
Podcasts.
Experts.
Trends.
Opinions.
Advice. Everybody has something to say about what you should be doing. And if you’re constantly listening outward, eventually it becomes difficult to hear what’s happening inward. So quiet the noise occasionally and ask yourself: What do I actually want? What keeps pulling me in a particular direction? What feels aligned with the person I’m becoming? What would I choose if nobody else were watching? Your intuition deserves a seat at the table. But don’t get it twisted. Following your intuition doesn’t mean abandoning logic. Do your research. Ask questions. Look at the numbers. Learn from people who know more than you. Gather information. Pay attention to what’s working and what’s not. And when new information tells you something needs to change—pivot. Changing your strategy isn’t betraying your vision. Sometimes it’s exactly how you protect it. 🌱 Stay Flexible With the Path, Not Easily Swayed From the Vision There may be ten different roads that lead to the life you’re trying to create. You might start down one and realize it’s not the right one. That’s not failure. Turn. Adjust. Learn. Try another route. But don’t abandon the destination simply because someone standing on the side of the road tells you they wouldn’t go there. It’s not their destination. There will always be opinions. There will always be outside noise. There will always be someone who would’ve done it differently. Let them. You are the one responsible for building your life. 💭 This Week’s Challenge: Become Your Own Cheerleader Choose one dream or goal that matters deeply to you. Then ask yourself: Where have I allowed outside opinions to become louder than my own voice? Do your research this week. Look at the facts. Ask the questions you need to ask. And then give yourself some quiet space to listen to what you think. If the evidence tells you to pivot, pivot. If you discover a better strategy, use it. But if your vision still feels aligned and the only thing making you question it is someone else’s opinion? Keep going. Be teachable without being easily swayed. Be flexible without abandoning yourself. Be willing to change the route without constantly changing the destination. And above all, become the person standing in your own corner saying: I believe in you. Keep going. We’ve got this. ❤️ Thank you for listening to The Empowerment Podcast with Coach Stephanie Carrodegua.

Until next time—trust yourself, do your homework, advocate for your dreams, and remember: Other people can offer directions, but you don’t have to hand them the map. 🧭✨

    Little by Little: A Little Goes a Long Way 😌👏🏻

    🎙️ The Empowerment Podcast with Coach Stephanie Carrodegua Episode Title: Little by Little: A Little Goes a Long Way We tend to celebrate the big moments. The transformation.
The promotion.
The weight loss.
The new business.
The finish line. But we don’t always talk about the hundreds of small decisions that happened before anyone could see the result. The truth is, big change is usually built little by little. Every now and then, life gives us an opportunity to make a giant leap forward—and when it does, take it! But most of the time? Progress isn’t a leap. It’s waking up and doing the thing again. It’s the workout you almost skipped. It’s drinking another glass of water. It’s preparing your lunch instead of grabbing whatever is convenient. It’s reading ten pages. It’s saving a few dollars. It’s sending the email. It’s taking ten minutes to breathe, journal, or plan your day. None of those things feel life-changing in the moment. But that’s the point. We sometimes underestimate small actions because we can’t immediately see what they’re creating. One workout probably won’t transform your body. One healthy meal won’t transform your health. One deposit won’t create financial freedom. One courageous conversation won’t completely change your relationships. One hour spent working toward your dream probably won’t build your business. But repeat those things over and over again? Now we’re talking about transformation. Small Doesn’t Mean Insignificant Sometimes we convince ourselves that if we can’t do something perfectly or make a huge amount of progress, it’s not worth doing at all. But five minutes is better than zero. One step is better than standing still. A little effort consistently is more powerful than an enormous amount of effort occasionally. And that’s why your routines matter so much. The seemingly ordinary things you do every day are quietly creating your future. Your habits are adding up—even when it doesn’t feel like they’re adding up. So instead of asking yourself: “What’s the biggest thing I can do to change my life?” Try asking: “What’s one small thing I can consistently do that moves me in the right direction?” Then do it. And tomorrow? Do it again. 💭 This Week’s Challenge: Choose Your Little Thing Choose one small action that supports something you’re working toward. Make it simple enough that you can realistically repeat it every day this week. Maybe it’s a ten-minute walk. Maybe it’s drinking water first thing in the morning. Maybe it’s five minutes of meditation. Maybe it’s putting $5 into savings. Maybe it’s spending fifteen minutes working on your business. The action doesn’t have to be impressive. It just has to move you forward. At the end of the week, look back at what those small actions created. Because you don’t have to completely change your life today. You just have to do something today that supports the life you’re creating. Little by little. Day by day. Choice by choice. Habit by habit. And one day, you’ll look back and realize those little things weren’t little at all. They were the things that changed everything. ❤️🌱 Thank you for listening to The Empowerment Podcast with Coach Stephanie Carrodegua. Follow me on Instagram @coachstephaniecarrodegua for more conversations about mindset, healthy habits, fitness, growth, and empowerment. Until next time, keep showing up, keep choosing yourself, and remember: A little goes a long way when you keep going. 💜

    Make Space for What You Want 👏🏽

    🎙️ The Empowerment Podcast with Coach Stephanie Carrodegua Episode Title: Make Space for What You Want Sometimes creating the life you want isn’t about adding something new. Sometimes it’s about making space. We understand this physically. We clean out our closets. We organize our homes. We throw away things we no longer use because we recognize that clutter takes up space. But when was the last time you cleaned out your mind? Our thoughts take up space too. So do old conversations.
Old relationships.
Resentment.
Comparison.
Worry.
“What ifs.”
Situations we’ve already outgrown.
And people we’re no longer connected to—but somehow we’re still having conversations with them in our heads. All of that requires energy. And when so much of your mental and emotional space is occupied by things you don’t want, how much room is left for the things you actually do? Think about how much energy it takes to replay a conversation that already happened. How much energy does it take to worry about something you can’t control? How much space does someone occupy in your mind when you’re constantly thinking about what they did, what they said, or what you wish you would’ve said? That energy could be going somewhere else. Toward your health.
Your relationships.
Your business.
Your creativity.
Your peace.
Your purpose.
Your future. Sometimes we say we want something new while we’re still holding tightly to everything old. But you can’t fill a space that’s already full. Making space doesn’t mean pretending something never mattered. It means recognizing when something is no longer useful to the person you’re becoming. You can appreciate what something taught you and still release it. You can love someone and decide they no longer get unlimited access to your energy. You can acknowledge a thought without allowing it to live rent-free in your mind. And you can decide that your mental space is valuable enough to protect. Because imagine what could grow there instead. New ideas.
New relationships.
New opportunities.
Creativity.
Confidence.
Peace.
Joy.
Possibility. Maybe the next chapter of your life doesn’t need you to work harder. Maybe it needs you to create some room. 💭 This Week’s Challenge: Make Space This week, identify one thing you’re ready to clear out physically and one thing you’re ready to release mentally or emotionally. Clean out the drawer.
Donate the clothes.
Organize the room. But also pay attention to what’s taking up space in your mind. Ask yourself: Is this thought useful?
Is this helping me grow?
Does this deserve my energy?
Is this aligned with the life I’m trying to create? If the answer is no, practice releasing it and intentionally redirecting your attention toward something that deserves that space. Because when you clear away what’s no longer serving you, you create room for something more fruitful, more beneficial, and more aligned with who you’re becoming. 🌱 You don’t always need more. Sometimes you simply need space for what’s next. Thank you for listening to The Empowerment Podcast with Coach Stephanie Carrodegua. Follow me on Instagram @coachstephaniecarrodegua for more conversations about mindset, healthy habits, fitness, growth, and empowerment. Until next time—protect your energy, tend to your mind, and remember: Be intentional about what you allow to take up space in your life. Something beautiful may be waiting for room to grow. 🌿❤️

    Don’t Change the Goal—Change the Strategy 💯

    🎙️ The Empowerment Podcast with Coach Stephanie Carrodegua How many times have you set a goal, started working toward it, and then halfway through decided to make the goal smaller because you weren’t sure you could reach it? We do this all the time. Maybe your goal is to lose five pounds in three months. You’re a month and a half in, you’ve lost two pounds, and suddenly you start thinking: “Maybe I’ll just make my goal four pounds instead.” But why? Don’t change the goal just because you’re afraid you might not reach it. That’s the moment to stop, look at what’s happening, and ask yourself what needs to be adjusted. Maybe your nutrition needs some attention. Maybe your workouts need to change. Maybe your consistency hasn’t been where you thought it was. Maybe life happened and you need to restructure your routine. Or maybe you’re actually making great progress and simply need to keep going. Whatever the answer is, adjust the strategy—not the destination. Your goal gives you something to measure against. If you keep moving the finish line every time you’re worried you won’t reach it, you lose the opportunity to learn from what’s working and what isn’t. And this applies to so much more than fitness. Maybe you set a business goal and you’re behind on your numbers. Maybe you’re trying to save a certain amount of money. Maybe you’re building a new habit. Maybe you’re working toward something you’ve never accomplished before. Don’t immediately make the goal smaller so you can say you reached it. Ask yourself what needs to change in YOU and in your ACTIONS to move closer to it. Sometimes reaching a new goal requires becoming a new version of yourself. It might require more consistency.
More discipline.
A different routine.
More support.
A new strategy.
Or simply more patience. And here’s something else that’s important: Even if you ultimately don’t hit the exact number by the exact date, that doesn’t mean the goal failed. You still have valuable information. You can look back and say, “Okay. What worked? What didn’t? What did I learn? What will I do differently next time?” That’s growth. 💭 This Week’s Challenge Look at one goal you’re currently working toward. Are you tempted to make it smaller because you’re worried you won’t reach it? Don’t move the finish line. Instead, ask yourself: What needs to change in my actions, habits, routine, or strategy to give me a better chance of reaching this goal? Then make one adjustment this week. Keep the goal.
Change the strategy.
Learn from the process.
And keep moving forward. Because sometimes the goal isn’t asking you to give up. It’s asking you to grow. 💯🔥 Thank you for listening to The Empowerment Podcast with Coach Stephanie Carrodegua. Follow me on Instagram @coachstephaniecarrodegua for more mindset, healthy habits, fitness, and empowerment. Until next time—stay focused, stay adaptable, and remember: Don’t change the goal to fit who you are today. Keep growing into the person capable of reaching it. ❤️✨

    Building Community, Creating Opportunity & Empowering Others with Monica Lovato & Trey Morelock 🤩

    This episode of The Empowerment Podcast looks a little different—and that’s exactly what makes it special. ❤️ I sat down with Monica Lovato and Trey Morelock from Realty ONE of New Mexico for a conversation about real estate, entrepreneurship, relationships, community, and what it really means to create opportunities for yourself and others. We recorded this episode from one of their beautiful property listings, but our conversation went far beyond buying and selling homes. We talked about the importance of building genuine relationships, navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, staying connected to your purpose, and recognizing the power of the people you surround yourself with. Because empowerment isn’t just about fitness. It’s about having the confidence to pursue something bigger for your life. It’s about stepping outside of your comfort zone, building meaningful connections, supporting the people around you, and being willing to create opportunities instead of waiting for them to appear. One of my favorite things about conversations like this is getting to hear the stories behind the people we see succeeding. There are lessons, challenges, relationships, and a whole lot of work behind every journey. And when we share those stories, we remind other people of what’s possible for them too. This episode is also a reminder of something I believe deeply: Community matters. When we connect, collaborate, share resources, and genuinely want to see one another win, we don’t just build successful businesses—we build stronger communities. 💯 Thank you, Monica and Trey, for sitting down with me, sharing your perspectives, and being part of The Empowerment Podcast. And to everyone listening: keep building relationships, keep putting yourself in rooms with people who inspire you, and keep looking for ways to both offer value and receive support. We don’t have to build our dreams alone. 🫶🏽✨ Follow @coachstephaniecarrodegua for more conversations about empowerment, mindset, healthy habits, fitness, entrepreneurship, and becoming the strongest version of yourself.

    Disracted much 🤔

    Not every distraction looks like a distraction. Sometimes distractions are obvious—social media, procrastination, unhealthy habits, or constantly putting things off. But sometimes distractions look like opportunities, relationships, excitement, comfort, or even beautiful scenery along the way. And that’s where we have to become intentional. Think about your goal like a destination. When you’re driving somewhere, it’s perfectly okay to look around. It’s okay to enjoy the scenery. You might even pull over occasionally, take a picture, rest, and appreciate where you are. But you still have somewhere you’re trying to go. The beautiful scenery along the way can become a distraction if you forget the destination. The same thing happens in life. Distractions can show up in your health when temporary comfort becomes more important than the habits you committed to. They can show up in your career or business when every new opportunity makes you abandon the plan you’re already working. They can show up in your relationships when someone else’s priorities begin replacing your own. They can even show up in your mindset through comparison, overthinking, fear, self-doubt, or constantly questioning whether you’re on the right path. The goal isn’t to eliminate every distraction. The goal is to learn how to manage them so they don’t steer you. Ask yourself: Is this moving me toward the life I’m trying to create—or simply getting my attention? Is this something I genuinely want, or is it just exciting right now? Does this deserve my energy? And most importantly… Where did I say I was going? Because sometimes the answer isn’t to work harder. Sometimes the answer is simply to remember your destination. 💭 This Week’s Challenge This week, identify one distraction in each major area of your life—your health, relationships, career or business, and mindset. Then ask yourself: How can I manage this distraction without allowing it to manage me? Maybe you need a boundary.
Maybe you need to turn off notifications.
Maybe you need to say no to an opportunity.
Maybe you need to stop comparing your journey to someone else’s.
Or maybe you simply need to recommit to the goal you already chose. You are absolutely allowed to enjoy the journey. Sightsee. Take pictures. Stop and smell the flowers. Enjoy the beautiful scenery. Just don’t get so distracted by what’s along the road that you forget where you were headed. Stay the course. Your destination is still waiting for you. 🎯✨ Thank you for listening to The Empowerment Podcast with Coach Stephanie Carrodegua.

Until next time—stay intentional, protect your focus, enjoy the journey, and keep moving toward the person and life you’re working to create. 💜
