    156. How to Change Your Mind: Let Go of What No Longer Serves You—Without Guilt

    Send us a text Let’s be real. I used to hold onto things way longer than I needed to—commitments, beliefs, expectations—just because I felt like I had to follow through. Like I wasn’t allowed to change my mind without being flaky, selfish, or weak. But what I’ve learned through my own healing (and in coaching so many women) is this: Changing your mind is not failure. It’s freedom. In this episode, I’m sharing the nervous-system-informed truth about what makes it feel so hard to pivot, say no, or let go—and how to create safety in your body so that you can stop forcing it and start living in alignment. You’ll learn: Why your nervous system resists change (even when you want it)How to tell when a pattern no longer fits—even if it once kept you safeWhat fawning, hypervigilance, rest guilt, and perfectionism have in commonWhy “I’m allowed to change my mind” is one of the most healing thoughts you can practiceGentle ways to start honoring your truth without shame or fearIf you’ve ever felt stuck in something that used to make sense but doesn’t anymore, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. Let’s give you the permission slip you’ve been waiting for. 🎧 Listen in and let me know what resonates most.  And if this feels like your next chapter, book your free Fatigue Recovery Call and let’s talk about what’s no longer working—and what could.

And I’ll walk you through how to do the same using thought work, nervous system safety, and small, intentional shifts. If you’ve been telling yourself, “I’ll feel confident when…”—this episode is for you. I talk about: Why achievement-based confidence keeps you stuckHow identity-based confidence builds momentum and energyThe role of nervous system safety in confidenceReal-life stories from my clients (and me!)5 powerful tools you can start using todayReady to stop waiting to feel confident and start becoming the woman you want to be?  Let’s go.

    154. Fear Not: How to Do It

    Send us a text I know I’m not the only one who’s ever heard the phrase “fear not” and thought… okay, but how?? In today’s episode, I’m sharing the real reason why this verse used to feel like pressure instead of peace—and what finally helped me understand what God actually means when He says, “fear not.” I take you back to one of the hardest seasons of my life, when I was in kidney failure and completely overwhelmed, and I show you how my relationship with fear (and faith) changed forever. You’ll hear how fear is not a failure—it’s a nervous system response. And once you understand that, everything shifts. In this episode, I walk you through: Why you still feel afraid, even when you know God is with youWhat your fear responses (fight, flight, freeze, and fawn) are trying to protectHow to gently work with your nervous system instead of judging yourselfWhy “fear not” is a promise—not a performanceThe exact tools I teach my clients to help their bodies feel safe enough to receive peaceThis is the episode I wish someone had given me when I was trying to force my way through fear instead of learning how to soften and be held. If your body still feels stuck in fear—even when your heart wants to trust—this one’s for you. ▶️ Listen now and let’s walk through fear together—side by side, with love and grace.
