The Self-Centered Mom is for the woman who is done being the constant for everyone else and ready to be the authority in her life, on her own terms. The woman who wants her fire back and intends to leave a legacy that breaks every cycle she was handed.  Who is raising daughters to live as full human beings, not as someone who disappears for others comfort. Who is raising sons who understand that women are not here to simply take care of them.  Every week, we bring the honest, disruptive, compassionately direct conversation that this work actually requires. We name the conditioning. We dismantle the systems. And we build  - specifically, practically, really -  a life where you are the center. This is the work. And you're already ready for it.

    How To Raise Self-Trusting Girls: 5 Parenting Strategies That Actually Work

    In this episode of the Minding Mine podcast, I'm getting real about one of the most important things I'm doing as a mom - teaching my daughters to deeply trust themselves. While I'm still doing my own inner work and unlearning old patterns, I'm intentional about giving my girls the foundation I wish I'd had. Here are the five things I practice at home: 1. I let them disagree with me. I don't pull the "because I said so" card. Instead, I create space for respectful dialogue, genuinely listen to my daughters' perspectives, and celebrate them for speaking their truth — even when it's hard. 2. I ask questions instead of giving advice. When something happens at school or with a friend, I resist the urge to jump in and fix it. I validate, get curious, and guide my girls back to their own instincts — because I want the voice in their head to be theirs, not mine. 3. I apologize when I'm wrong. I'm human — sometimes I'm distracted, snappy, or checked out. When that happens, I own it, repair it, and move forward. I'm modeling that accountability and love can exist in the same breath. 4. I don't judge my body — or anyone else's. After years of dieting and shrinking myself, I'm intentional about never talking negatively about bodies in front of my girls. I talk about movement for strength, health, and stress relief — not for how it makes me look. 5. I let them watch me choose myself. My daughters see me record podcast episodes, lead groups, and take the stage — nervous and doing it anyway. That's the real lesson: trust isn't the absence of fear. It's moving forward even when your knees are knocking. Bonus tip: Don't underestimate the car ride conversation. Some of the best, most open moments happen in those 10–15 minutes after school. If this episode resonated with you, leave a comment, rate, and review the podcast. And as always — go live your life on your terms.     Follow Evelyn: Facebook: Evelyn LeVasseur Instagram: @itsevelynlevasseur YouTube: Minding Mine   Free Guide: What Your Exhaustion Is Really Trying To Tell You Apply To Work With Me: Here

  2. Self-Forgiveness, Vulnerability & Marriage: Stacy Rocklein

    Mar 5

    Self-Forgiveness, Vulnerability & Marriage: Stacy Rocklein

    In this episode of Minding Mine, I sit down with coach, speaker, and author Stacy Rocklein, and we have an honest, layered conversation about forgiveness, loneliness, and emotional intimacy. We talk about the kind of loneliness that exists even inside good marriages. The kind that shows up in a room full of people. The kind that doesn’t go away just because you “have everything.” Stacy shares how her journey into forgiveness began when she realized she wasn’t actually forgiving — she was bypassing. Skipping over pain. Avoiding vulnerability. Holding it together. And how that created invisible distance in her closest relationships. We explore: What forgiveness really means (and why it doesn’t require an apology) The defense mechanisms we don’t realize we’re using How loneliness can exist inside healthy relationships Why self-forgiveness is the foundation for emotional intimacy The burden (and power) of teaching someone how to show up for you Why boundaries and forgiveness must work together How our relationship with ourselves shapes every relationship we have The generational shift happening in parenting and partnership What to do when you don’t get the apology you hoped for Why vulnerability is the antidote to loneliness We also talk about marriage — the difference between love as a feeling and love as a daily choice. And I share how releasing the belief that my marriage defined me changed everything. This conversation is deep, reflective, and honest. If you’ve ever felt unseen, emotionally disconnected, or stuck waiting for someone else to change first — this episode is for you. Stacy’s book, Forgive Without an Apology, expands on her forgiveness framework and her 21 Day Heart Cleanse.

    Triggered Moms Raise Triggered Kids: Amy Haydak

    Motherhood will expose you. Because it activates everything you haven’t healed. In this episode of Minding Mine, I sit down with licensed clinical social worker and parenting coach Amy Haydak, and we talk about what it really means to break generational cycles — while you’re still in the middle of raising your kids. Not after therapy. Not once you’ve “figured it out.” Right now.  We talk about emotional regulation. The real-life version. The grocery store meltdown version. The snapping over dishes version. The “why am I this angry?” version. Most of us weren’t taught how to feel. We were taught to behave. So now we’re raising children who feel out loud… and it’s confronting. In this conversation, we unpack: Why you don’t even realize you’re activated half the time What emotional regulation actually feels like in your body The difference between authority and leadership How subtle trauma shapes your reactions Why your child isn’t being “defiant” — they’re dysregulated What repair looks like when you mess up How to reparent yourself while raising your kids We also talk about guilt — because once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it. But awareness is power. You don’t need to be a perfect mother, you need to be an intentional one. Cycle breaking isn’t about getting things right every time. It’s about raising kids who feel safe — not kids who fear disappointing you. If you’re tired of snapping and spiraling… If you want connection instead of control… If you feel like you’re healing and parenting at the same time… This episode is for you.

    How to Overcome Burnout and Reclaim Your Time: Stephanie Carter

    Are you constantly busy, but still feeling unfulfilled? In this episode of Minding Mine, I sit down with burnout and wellness coach Stephanie Carter to unpack the truth about overwhelm, exhaustion, and why so many women over 40 feel disconnected from themselves. We explored: Why burnout has become a “badge of honor” for women The hidden cost of constant productivity How to stop living on autopilot Why intention—not busyness—creates fulfillment The power of journaling and self-reflection How to identify what actually brings you joy Setting boundaries without guilt Letting go of obligations that no longer serve you Reclaiming your time after seasons of overwork Why pouring into yourself first makes you a better partner, mother, and leader Stephanie shares how the stillness of COVID revealed just how burned out she had become—and how that awakening reshaped her career, priorities, and mission to help other women do the same. This episode is for the woman who: Feels too busy to take care of herself Struggles to answer, “What do I actually want?” Puts herself last and calls it love Knows she wants more peace, joy, and ease—but doesn’t know where to start You’ll walk away with practical tools for reflection, boundary-setting, and creating small, intentional shifts that change everything. Because burnout isn’t a requirement. And you don’t have to earn your worth through exhaustion.

    Stop Waiting On God: Faith, Purpose & Aligned Action: Patrice Washington

    What if the life you’re praying for is waiting on you to move first? In this deeply honest and electric conversation, I sit down with transformational speaker, author, and founder of Redefining Wealth, Patrice Washington. We explore the intersection of faith and action, purpose and performance, conviction and sovereignty. Patrice shares how she built her life through belief and aligned action — from losing a seven-figure business to rebuilding with clarity and calling. We talk about why chasing purpose is not a luxury, how faith becomes a crutch when we refuse to move, and what it truly means to “give God something to bless.” This episode is for the woman who: Knows there is more for her but feels stuck in obligation Believes in God but struggles to trust herself Is tired of outsourcing her power Feels intimidated by her own bigness Wants to break generational patterns and lead differently Inside this conversation, we explore: The difference between belief and the performance of belief Why purpose isn’t optional — it’s your design How intimidation often mirrors unclaimed potential Why “lucky” is an insult Goals vs. vision (and why confusing them keeps you stuck) Faith + aligned action as co-creation Breaking generational trauma through intentional living Letting go of obligation and choosing sovereignty This is about becoming the woman who can hold the vision — not just reach it. Because you weren’t placed here accidentally. You were created on purpose, for purpose. And the only real loss is betraying yourself. If this conversation moves you, share it with someone who needs permission to stop waiting — and start moving.

    From Survival To Seven Figures: Tay Daniels

    In this episode of Minding Mine, I sat down with Tay Daniels, founder of Breadwinner Energy and leader of a new wave of wealthy healers. Tay’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary: eight years ago, she had $100, wrecked credit, no degree, and was hiding from an abusive relationship. Today, she runs a seven-figure global brand, coaching spiritual entrepreneurs and healers to stop running hobby businesses and step into their power. Together, we were able to dive deep into: How a single decision to leave an abusive relationship sparked a journey of self-trust and freedom The risks and rewards of starting a business with no safety net Building identity, confidence, and the “Breadwinner Energy” mindset Breaking generational patterns and cultivating authentic, soul-led leadership How motherhood shaped Tay’s perspective on legacy, self-care, and empowerment The power of choosing yourself, even when family or societal expectations resist Practical steps for women to build financial independence and create generational impact Whether you’re seeking inspiration, guidance on stepping into your own power, or tools to align your business and life with your soul, this episode will challenge and uplift you. Tay’s story is a masterclass in courage, resilience, and embodiment.

    From Survival Mode To Safe Love: Leah Mitchell

    In this episode of Minding Mine, I sit down with love and relationship coach Leah Mitchell for a deeply honest conversation about trauma, shame, safety, and the invisible patterns so many women carry into their relationships. Leah opens up about the accident that changed her life at seventeen, the secondary trauma that followed, and how years of trying to earn love shaped her dating choices, her self-worth, and her nervous system. We talk about the ways childhood conditioning shows up in adulthood, why shame becomes a survival response, and how experiences we are never taught to process can turn into patterns we don’t even recognize as our own. Leah also shares the turning point in her healing journey—how neuroscience, emotional regulation, and kinetic divination helped her reconnect to her own body, break destructive cycles, and finally feel safe enough to pursue healthy love. We explore how trauma impacts dating, why women often feel they must “earn” affection, how cortisol and stress affect romantic compatibility, and what it looks like to build relationships rooted in honesty, vulnerability, and mutual respect. This conversation is full of raw truths, powerful reframes, and reminders that loving yourself well is the foundation for calling in the love you truly desire. Whether you’re single, dating, or partnered, Leah’s insights will help you understand yourself more deeply—and begin healing the patterns that have kept you feeling stuck, small, or at war with your own heart. In this episode, we talk about: • The accident that reshaped Leah’s identity, patterns, and sense of safety • Why “secondary trauma” from loved ones can feel more painful than the trauma itself • How shame becomes a subconscious survival strategy • Using neuroscience and somatic tools to rewire relationship patterns • Why many women feel they need to “earn” love • How cortisol impacts compatibility, chemistry, and connection • What safe, emotionally available love actually feels like • How our healing impacts the next generation • The legacy we leave when our children watch us be loved—and love ourselves Connect with Leah Podcast: The Goddess of Love Free Course: The Dating Strategy Socials: https://www.instagram.com/goddessofloveofficial https://www.facebook.com/leah.mitchell.3914/  Connect with Evelyn:  Facebook: Evelyn LeVasseur Instagram: @itsevelynlevasseur YouTube: Minding Mine   Free Guide: What Your Exhaustion Is Really Trying To Tell You Apply To Work With Me: Here
