    Ep. 52: Wisdom for the Stuck Woman: Finding Clarity and Alignment (WTF Series Part 1)

    Ever find yourself thinking WTF… how did my life end up looking like this? 🫠 You’re not broken — you’re just stuck. And that’s exactly why I created the WTF Series: Wisdom, Target, Freedom. In this first episode, we’re breaking down Wisdom — the clarity stage. This is where you stop running on autopilot, slow down, and finally ask yourself: ✨ Who am I really doing all of this for? ✨ What actually matters to me (not what I think should)? ✨ And does my life reflect the woman I’m becoming… or the version I outgrew? By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 💡 How to recognize when you’ve been living out of alignment (hello, people-pleasing patterns 👀) 💡 The exact questions to ask to uncover your real priorities 💡 A simple reflection practice to reconnect with your inner wisdom This series is made for my ambitious, deeply feeling women — the empaths, recovering people pleasers, and spiritual seekers — who are tired of carrying the world on their shoulders and are ready to reclaim their energy. ✨ This is Part 1 of the WTF Series: Wisdom, Target, and Freedom — a 3-part journey to help you get unstuck, reignite your dreams, and create a guilt-free future. 🎧 Ready to take this deeper? Save your seat for my Live! WTF Sacred Circle Workshop — we’ll take these concepts off the podcast and into practice with a hands-on workbook and sacred space.

    Have you ever pulled a tarot card and thought, “What the heck does this mean?” Or asked yourself a big life question, only to end up with more anxiety than clarity?

    Ep. 50- When Self-Care Gets Real: Beyond Bubble Baths & Checklists

    Self-care isn’t always a spa day or a bubble bath. Sometimes, it’s letting someone else cook dinner, saying no to plans, or simply allowing yourself five minutes of silence without guilt. In this episode of Boundaries Unleashed, we’re exploring what it really means to practice self-care in integrity — versus falling into performative or conditioned self-care that looks good on the outside but drains you on the inside. Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode: The difference between integrity-based self-care and performative “shoulds.” Tricky but powerful forms of self-care (like asking for help, financial boundaries, and unapologetic rest). How self-care shapes your energy, time, and relationships. Three ways to make sure your self-care is actually restorative and intentional. ✨ Reflection questions for you this week: Where in your life are you practicing self-care from a place of “should” instead of true need? What’s one small way you could shift that into integrity this week? Your self-care doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. The only thing that matters is: does it restore you? 👉 If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who could use a fresh take on self-care.

    Ep. 49- The Art of Saying No Without Spiraling: How to Handle the Discomfort and Stand in Your Power

    Saying no shouldn’t feel like a full-body panic attack — but for recovering people-pleasers, it often does.

You’ll learn the hidden signs that you’re actually becoming more comfortable with saying no (even if it doesn’t feel like it yet), plus three practical coping strategies to help you stay grounded when the anxiety spiral hits. ✨ Inside this episode: What happens in your body when you say no (and why it’s normal) The anxious thought spirals you can expect after setting a boundary Signs you’re building true comfort with saying no Three coping strategies for when it still feels hard If you’ve ever wished you could say no without guilt, this episode is your permission slip. 👉 Grab my free guide: Your No Made Simple — your step-by-step tool for saying no with confidence and clarity. https://www.mytimemama.com/your-no-made-simple 💌 If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who struggles with boundaries.

    Ep. 47- Siren Songs: How to Stop People-Pleasing and Reclaim Your Power

    Ever feel like you’re living by everyone else’s expectations—chasing success by following the “proven paths”—only to end up exhausted, disconnected, and questioning if this is really your life? If so, this episode is for you. In this special workshop replay, I’m sharing my Siren Songs Workshop—a powerful training originally taught live, now released on the podcast because the lessons are still so relevant for recovering people-pleasers, women navigating burnout, and anyone craving more freedom, alignment, and confidence. Inside this workshop, you’ll discover: ✨ What “siren songs” from Greek mythology can teach us about boundaries, self-trust, and emotional projection. ✨ The 5 main influences that quietly shape your free will—and how to reclaim your power from them. ✨ How to spot the “modern-day sirens” in your life (including your own inner critic). ✨ The biggest blocks that stop you from living authentically: fear of failure, fear of rejection, lack of boundaries, and limiting beliefs. ✨ A simple yet profound exercise to reframe limiting beliefs and step into a life built on your own values. This is about more than just setting boundaries—it’s about breaking free from the guilt, the “shoulds,” and the fear so you can live with joy, resilience, and authentic self-expression. Whether you’re in a season of transition, struggling with people-pleasing patterns, or simply wanting to feel more confident in your choices, this episode will give you tools and insights to help you tune out the noise and finally live by your own inner compass. 🔮 If this workshop resonates with you, make sure to subscribe and follow the podcast—I’ll be sharing more boundary-supporting workshops, teachings, and conversations to help you reclaim your energy and become the most grounded, empowered version of yourself.

    Ep. 46- Behind the Scenes: The Small Habits Shaping Who I Am Beyond Work and Roles

    This week on Boundaries Unleashed, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my own life to share the small, everyday habits and personal passions that are shaping who I am outside of work, family, or titles. We live in a culture obsessed with “what do you do?” — but our worth isn’t measured by résumés or roles. It’s the small rituals, quirky interests, and soulful practices we choose that make us magnetic, joyful, and fully ourselves. In this episode, I’ll share: My current self-care and spiritual habits — from my Aesop skincare ritual to learning piano through YouTube, to diving deeper into tarot and mystical fiction. Why small hobbies and passions matter more than “impressive” job titles at social gatherings. How embracing what lights you up builds confidence, protects your peace, and reconnects you with your purpose. How boundaries are not just about saying “no,” but about saying a big “yes” to the rituals that make you uniquely YOU. 💌 Your Invitation: DM me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vicki.pittman.coach/  and share the little habits that light you up. Or, if you’re unsure how to reconnect with yourself outside of your roles, book a personal tarot reading with me for clarity and direction. https://www.mytimemama.com/offers/DzW8MbXw/checkout 📌 Mentioned in this episode: Aesop skincare: https://www.aesop.com.au/ A Good Hang Podcast with Amy Poehler: https://www.youtube.com/@Good-Hang-with-Amy-Poehler Arcana Academy by Elise Kova-  https://www.elisekova.com/arcana-academy ⚠️ Disclaimer: These are not sponsored or affiliate mentions.

How to navigate tricky dynamics with co-workers, managers, and family-life balance. Special insights for service-based entrepreneurs who want to change their offerings, pricing, or availability—and stay grounded even if it ruffles feathers.
