    The Weight We were Never Meant to Carry with Catherine Clift

    Send a message into the Brightside What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your circumstances... but what you've been carrying for years? This week, we sit down with transformational coach and emotional release practitioner Catherine Clift for a conversation about fear, self-worth, limiting beliefs, and the emotional weight we often mistake for our identity. We explore why so many of us stay stuck, how childhood beliefs quietly shape our adult lives, the surprising connection between worthiness and money, and why true transformation often begins not by adding something new—but by learning to let go. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you're carrying more than you were meant to, this conversation offers a thoughtful reminder that healing doesn't always start with doing more. Sometimes it starts with releasing what no longer serves you.

    Reclaiming Your Energy in a Draining World with Spencer Jones

    Send a message into the Brightside There’s a point where you can be doing everything “right”… and still feel completely off. Showing up, working hard, pushing forward yet underneath it all, something doesn’t feel aligned. In this episode of Braving the Brightside, I sit down with Spencer Jones, speaker, coach, author, and the self-proclaimed “Prince of Positivity”, to talk about what’s really going on beneath that feeling. We dive into burnout, energy, and the subtle ways we disconnect from ourselves without even realizing it. Spencer shares how high performers often find themselves running on empty, and what it actually looks like to slow down, realign, and start reclaiming your energy. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about coming back to yourself. If you’ve been feeling off, overwhelmed, or just not quite like yourself lately—this conversation might be exactly what you need.
