    I’m doing the inner work, why don’t I feel confident yet? with Stephanie Thoma

    You’ve read the books. You’ve done the healing. You’re trying to be authentic and honest and real… So why doesn’t confidence feel like it’s caught up yet? In this episode, we talk about the part of the inner work journey that no one really prepares you for, the space where you know you’re growing, but you still feel unsure, hesitant, or invisible in your voice and leadership. This conversation gently reframes confidence, not as something you force or perform, but as something that emerges through clarity, self-trust, and permission to be who you already are. We also explore Human Design as a tool for understanding why confidence doesn’t look the same for everyone. As a Projector, her design isn’t about pushing harder or proving more, it’s about seeing clearly, guiding wisely, and trusting that her perspective has value. Projectors are natural guides. They’re here to notice patterns, offer insight, and lead through clarity, and when they try to build confidence the same way others do, it can feel exhausting and discouraging. This episode is for you if: You’ve been doing the inner work but still don’t feel confident yetYou feel pressure to be louder, bolder, or more certain than feels naturalYou want to trust your voice without forcing itYou’re learning that confidence might come from knowing yourself, not fixing yourselfThis is a reminder that confidence doesn’t arrive all at once, it grows as you honor your design, your timing, and the wisdom you already carry. You’re not behind. You’re becoming clearer.

    I want success, so why does this feel so exhausting? with Amberly Lago

    You want success. You’re willing to work for it. So why does it feel like you’re constantly running on empty? In this episode of ROI of Peace, Courtney sits down with Amberly Lago to talk about the kind of exhaustion that doesn’t come from failure — it comes from pursuing success without sustainability. The kind where you’re doing all the “right” things… and still feel depleted. Together, they explore what happens when ambition outpaces capacity, and how redefining success can change everything. In this conversation, we talk about:Why chasing success can quietly turn into burnoutHow saying yes to everything slowly erodes energy, joy, and clarityWhat real sustainability looks like, not just in business, but in lifeWhy learning to say no without guilt can be an act of leadershipHow intentionally choosing joy becomes a strategy, not a luxury Amberly’s Human Design: Manifesting GeneratorAmberly is a Manifesting Generator in Human Design, someone designed to be multi-passionate, dynamic, and energized by movement and variety. But that same drive can turn into overworking when there’s pressure to do everything or be everything for everyone. 🔗 SPEND MORE TIME WITH COURTNEYGet your free Human Design chart and find out how to tap into the gifts you were born with: https://roiofpeace.com/humandesignchart Join the ROI of Peace Mastermind: https://roiofpeace.com/roimastermind  CONNECT WITH AMBERLY LAGOInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amberlylagomotivation/ Website: https://amberlylago.com

    Why “Just Surrender” Never Works and Really What Does

    We hear the word surrender all the time. Just surrender. Let go. Stop controlling. But no one ever explains what surrender actually looks like when your body is exhausted, your nervous system is fried, and healing feels out of reach. In this episode of The ROI of Peace, Jenn Miller, a thyroid cancer survivor and healing practitioner, shares the truth about surrender: it’s not giving up, and it’s not passivity. It’s learning how to stop fighting your body and start partnering with it. After surviving cancer, Jenn spent years navigating long-term fatigue, energy imbalance, and symptoms that were often dismissed. Healing didn’t come from pushing harder or finding the “perfect” answer, it came from learning how to listen, trust, and allow healing to unfold over time. We also explore how Jenn’s Human Design as a Manifesting Generator played a critical role in her healing. As a multi-passionate being, Jenn wasn’t meant to follow one rigid path. Her freedom came from exploring multiple modalities, following curiosity, and allowing herself to move between projects, practices, and ideas. For Manifesting Generators, being multi-passionate isn’t a flaw,  it’s an advantage. When you don’t put yourself in a box, you actually move faster, integrate more deeply, and find alignment sooner. Jenn’s story is a powerful example of how freedom, experimentation, and surrender work together. This episode is for anyone who feels burned out from “trying everything,” stuck in control mode, or frustrated that healing, emotional, physical, or spiritual,  isn’t happening fast enough.

    It’s Okay to Feel Overwhelmed: How to Find Peace Anyway With Tracy Beavers

    When life feels too big, too fast, and too heavy… you’re not failing, you’re human. In today’s episode, Tracy Beavers joins us for a deeply honest conversation about overwhelm, financial stress, identity shifts, and the moments when life feels completely out of control. Tracy shares her journey of walking through divorce, financial fear, and the crushing weight of a life that was suddenly unrecognizable and the real steps she took to rebuild her peace from the inside out. This episode is for the woman who feels stretched thin, exhausted by trying to hold everything together, or unsure how to find her footing again. Tracy’s story reminds us that peace isn’t found after the storm… it’s built inside it. Together, we explore how to regulate your body when anxiety spikes, how to anchor into your Generator energy instead of reacting from fear, and how to trust that even when you can’t see the way forward — there is one. If you’ve been overwhelmed, burned out, or silently asking, “How do I keep going?” — this conversation is a breath of air!

    Feeling done, drained, or disconnected? Here’s what to do next...

    What happens when the life you’ve worked so hard to build suddenly stops feeling like yours? For Renee Devore, success looked great on paper,  a thriving career in education, a principal’s office with her name on the door. But behind the title was exhaustion, burnout, and the whisper of there has to be more than this. So she did something most people only dream about: she dropped everything, and moved to Mexico for a year to find peace and clarity. That decision became her reset, and the foundation for a new life and business built on alignment instead of achievement. 🎧 Inside the episode: How burnout can be the beginning, not the end What happens when you finally listen to your body and intuition The difference between “having it all” and feeling fulfilled How to trust the unknown when you can’t see what’s next Why peace always leads to clarity (and never the other way around)Connect with Renee Devore Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulgrowthalchemy/ Website :www.yoursoulgrowthjourney.com LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachreneedevore/ Connect with Courtney Koenig Get your free Human Design chart → https://www.courtneykoenig.com/getyourhumandesignchart Join the ROI of Peace Mastermind  PLUS→ https://www.courtneykoenig.com/becomenow Book your Human Design reading → https://www.courtneykoenig.com/human-design-reading Follow me on Instagram→  www.instagram.com/courtney.koenig/
