Stepping Into Yourself: Create the life of your dreams by stepping into your Highest Self

Tori Stauffer

Stepping Into Yourself is the podcast for the woman who has built something real, but is tired of feeling like she’s still chasing the breakthrough. Hosted by identity and embodiment coach Tori Stauffer, this show is for the woman who knows she’s capable of more but is ready to stop chasing her next level and start becoming the woman who lives it. You’re capable. You’re smart. You’ve invested in strategy, branding, programs, mentors. You’re not afraid of work. And yet… it still sometimes feels like a struggle. Like your momentum doesn’t stick. Like every month resets. Like you’re always one tweak away from “finally” clicking into the level you know you’re meant for. This show is here to name what’s actually happening. Because most of the time, it’s not your strategy. It’s the version of you livng it. Inside each episode, Tori breaks down simple, grounded expansion in a way that isn’t fluffy, isn’t “wish and wait,” and isn’t detached from real life or real business. She blends science-backed concepts, identity work, self-trust, nervous system steadiness, and bold action so you stop circling and start moving like the woman who expects expansion. Some episodes are solo teachings where Tori walks you through the tools, techniques, and shifts that help you operate from a completely different level. Others are conversations with women who are experts in their fields or women who have truly embodied this work and stepped into their highest self. Because expansion doesn’t just live in theory. It lives in lived and shared experience. If you’ve ever: looked at your life and thought, it’s good… so why do I still feel like I’m missing something?felt a quiet knowing you’re meant for something bigger.watched someone live boldly and thought, why can’t that be me?felt grateful… and still felt the pull.wondered why you’re circling your next level instead of living it.thought, I really thought I’d be further along by now.felt that little ping: there’s another version of me.craved the kind of freedom that you see others living. You’re in the right place. This podcast will help you: spot the micro-moments where you shrink instead of expandshift from “I hope this works” to “I’m moving anyway”stop building from effort and start building from ease and flowlearn what your desire is really telling youuse visualization and emotion to attract your dream lifestrengthen self-trust so decisions are obviousregulate without becoming boring about ittake big messy action before you feel ready And yes, we’re going to talk about how you show up in business too. Because your results don’t just come from what you do. They come from what you’re willing to be seen as. When your message says one thing but your presence says another, people feel it. We’re fixing that. New episodes are your weekly reset. Something you can listen to on a walk, in the car, or before you open your laptop so you stop chasing the version of you you’re trying to become and start operating as her NOW. If you know in your soul you are meant for more, and you are ready to unlock a life bigger than you even know how to imagine yet, this is your show.

    #013 - Human Design, Gene Keys + Spiritual Gifts with Danielle Laura

    In this episode of Stepping Into Yourself, I’m joined by Danielle Laura for a powerful conversation on spiritual gifts, intuition, identity, human design, gene keys, and what it really looks like to trust the version of you that is being called forward. Danielle shares her journey from climbing the corporate healthcare ladder, eventually becoming the CEO of a medical center, to realizing that even at the top, her soul was dying. What followed was a deep spiritual awakening that required her to question everything she had built her identity around, leave behind an old life that no longer fit, and fully step into the work she does now as a seer and spiritual advisor. We talk about: what it looks like when your life starts falling apart because your purpose is trying to get your attentionthe difference between fear, ego, and true intuitionwhy intuitive guidance often comes in quietly, while fear tends to screamhow faith is built by taking the next step before you can see the whole staircasewhy identity work matters so much when you are becoming someone newthe 5 human design types and what each one is here to dohow gene keys help you understand your shadow state, gift state, and highest aligned statewhy women often find themselves at a crossroads where the life they have built no longer feels truehow to work with your own energy instead of forcing yourself through resistancewhy momentum starts with one aligned next step, not with having the whole plan figured out Danielle also shares practical wisdom around creating an “energetic hygiene toolkit,” learning your natural patterns of flow, and using your chart to better understand how you are designed to thrive in business, relationships, and life. This episode is for the woman who knows she is in the middle of becoming, can feel that something bigger is trying to come through, and wants to trust herself more deeply as she steps into what is next.

    #012 - Holding the Vision

    In this episode of Stepping Into Yourself, I’m talking about what it really means to hold the vision, especially in seasons where life feels good, you are content, and yet you can still feel that there is more for you. This conversation came directly out of a coaching call inside my membership, where multiple women were wrestling with the same question: how do you keep expanding when you are not deeply unhappy with your current life, but you know there is something more calling you? In this episode, I walk through why vision matters so much. When you do not have a vision, you are not tethered to anything bigger, and it becomes very easy to keep circling your current reality, what is happening now, what feels possible now, and what makes sense based on your current life. We talk about: why there is a balance between living in the moment and being overly locked into your current realityhow visualization helps you uncover what you truly wantwhy daydreaming is more powerful than most adults realizethe idea that your brain does not know the difference between real and imaginedhow daily visualization can make your future feel so familiar it starts to feel like a memoryhow holding that vision creates a feeling of inevitabilitywhy this work is just as important for women who already feel fulfilled but know they are ready for more expansion I also share some of my own visualization practices, including the core scenes I return to over and over, and how revisiting those visions helped me notice subtle shifts in what I now want for this season of my life. If you have been feeling like you are circling the same thing, craving expansion, or trying to figure out what is next for you, this episode will help you reconnect to the deeper vision that is already inside you. Ways to Work With Me: Inside The Expansion Club, this is exactly the kind of work we do. It is my membership for women who are tired of circling the same thing over and over and are ready to expand, but nothing they have tried so far has fully worked. I also share about the Stop Circling Sprint, a 7-day experience designed to help you get clear on what you want, identify the gap between where you are and where you want to be, and start shifting your identity in real time.

    #011 - Stepping Into Your Unapologetic Self, with Gen Stoney

    In this episode, I’m joined by Gen Stoney, recovery advocate, mentor, and host of The Unapologetic Woman podcast, for a deep conversation about sobriety, self-trust, people pleasing, intimacy, identity, and what it really means to come home to yourself. Gen shares her story of hitting a major breaking point four years into sobriety, realizing that while she had stopped drinking, she had not yet done the deeper work underneath it all. What followed was a complete unraveling of the performance-based version of herself and the beginning of a much deeper healing journey. We talk about: the difference between being sober and truly feeling alivehow trauma, performance, and people pleasing shape identitythe danger of living for validation while looking “fine” on the outsidewhy so many women lose themselves by saying yes to everyone elsehow self-trust is rebuilt through action, not perfectionwhat it means to become an unapologetic womanwhy boundaries often reveal who was only comfortable with the old version of youhow marriage, intimacy, and healing can look very different than people expectwhat it means to return to the version of you who was there all alongthe tools Gen uses now, including EFT tapping, journaling, meditation, and deep emotional honesty One of my favorite parts of this conversation is how Gen talks about sobriety and healing not as becoming someone completely new, but as coming back to the truest version of yourself, the version that was buried under trauma, performance, fear, and survival. This episode is for the woman who knows she is done performing, done abandoning herself, and ready to start listening to her own heart again.

    #010 - Why So Many Women Give Up Right Before the Breakthrough

    In this episode of Stepping Into Yourself, we’re talking about the messy middle, that frustrating in-between stage where you are doing the work, showing up, staying consistent, and still not seeing the full result land yet. This is the phase where so many women want to quit. You can see the vision so clearly, you can feel the version of you you’re becoming, and yet your current reality still does not fully match it. It feels exhausting, heavy, and honestly a little brutal. In this episode, I’m walking you through how to move through that season without giving up on yourself or your vision. We talk about: what the messy middle actually iswhy so many women quit in this phasethe difference between holding the vision and falling into lackhow gratitude helps you start noticing the glimmerswhy celebration matters more than you thinkhow to reframe the waiting so it does not feel so painfulwhy the messy middle may be shaping you more than you realize If you are in the messy middle right now, this episode is your reminder that you are not doing it wrong.

    #009 - What It Really Takes to Pivot Into the Business You’re Meant For with Brooklyn Grotte

    In this episode of Stepping Into Yourself, I’m sitting down with Brooklyn for a conversation about business pivots, identity shifts, trusting yourself, and what it really looks like to build something bigger than the version of life or business you originally planned for. Brooklyn shares how she went from running a photography business in a tiny rural town to building a fast-growing ads education brand and agency, and how quickly things can change when you finally decide to go all in on what you know you’re meant to do. We talk about the fear that comes with leaving behind a version of success you already built, the capacity it takes to hold rapid growth, and the mindset shift required to keep moving even when you cannot yet see the full vision. We also get into the deeper work underneath business growth: identity, embodiment, self-trust, being in the right rooms, and learning how to become the woman who can hold the next version of her life. This conversation is such a beautiful example of what happens when you stop doing what you think you should do and start following what actually lights you up. If you are in a season of pivoting, growing, or being asked to trust yourself in a bigger way, this episode will speak to you. In this episode, we talk about:Brooklyn’s pivot from photography into ads and educationWhat it looked like to go all in before all the proof was thereThe role of identity and self-trust in building something newWhy getting in the room with the right women changes everythingHow support, mindset, and embodiment shape success just as much as strategy doesLinks👉 Join Out of Office before doors close on April 13 🎉 👉 Check out the ways to work with Tori here Find Tori on Instagram here Come hang out with me on Instagram and let me know what landed for you in this episode.

    #008 - How Beliefs Determine How Successful You Can Be

    In this short episode of Stepping Into Yourself, I’m breaking down one of the most important truths about growth, success, and creating a different life: your beliefs shape more than you realize. Most people know beliefs matter, but they do not always realize how deeply those beliefs impact what they notice, how they behave, what they expect, and ultimately what becomes available to them. In this episode, I walk through two simple examples, one with parking and one in business, to show how your beliefs are not just abstract thoughts. They are actively shaping the way you move through the world and the opportunities you allow yourself to see. If you have ever felt like other people seem to create momentum more easily, or like you keep ending up in the same patterns no matter how hard you work, this episode will help you understand why. It is a quick but powerful reminder that the beliefs you carry are influencing your actions, your expectations, and the results you create. I also share the simplest place to start if you are new to this work: noticing the beliefs that are not serving you and beginning to question whether they are actually true. That awareness is where the shift begins. And if this is the kind of work you know you need more of, The Expansion Club is officially open. This is my new membership where we go deeper into belief rewiring, vision, identity, frequency, and the daily work of becoming the version of you who can actually hold more.

    #006 - The Practice That Changed Everything

    In this episode of Stepping Into Yourself, I’m sharing one of the biggest shifts that changed my life, my mindset, and the way I experience manifestation: gratitude. What started as a way to get through one of the hardest seasons of my life became the foundation for everything that came after. In this episode, I talk about how my cancer journey unknowingly opened the door to manifestation work, why gratitude became the tool that helped me rewire my thought patterns, and how it changed what I started noticing, expecting, and creating in my life. We also get into the science behind why this works, including the reticular activating system, how your brain learns to filter for what you repeatedly focus on, and why gratitude is so much more than just listing things you “should” be thankful for. If you’ve ever struggled with negative thought patterns, constantly expecting the worst, or feeling like manifestation hasn’t fully clicked for you yet, this episode will help you understand why. Inside this episode:How my manifestation journey actually beganWhy gratitude was more powerful for me than affirmations at firstThe connection between gratitude and your brain’s reticular activating systemWhy your mind starts finding more of whatever you train it to look forHow gratitude helps rewire old thought patterns and create new neural pathwaysWhy starting your day with gratitude is so powerfulThe difference between performative gratitude and gratitude you can actually feelHow shifting into gratitude changes your energy, expectations, and what you begin attractingA simple invitation from this episode:Start small. Choose three things each morning and do not just write them down because they sound right. Write about them in a way that actually lets you feel them. Let yourself sit in the appreciation of what is already here. Because manifestation does not begin with the stuff. It begins with the feeling.
