In this powerful episode of The Journey of Becoming, Karrie Mitten sits down with Mary Gooden, founder of Divine Destiny Mentoring & Publishing, to explore what it truly means to walk away from a life that looks successful on the outside—but feels misaligned within. Mary shares her deeply personal journey from corporate leadership and high performance to experiencing panic attacks that forced her to question everything she believed about success, achievement, and identity. What once looked like stability began to unravel, revealing a deeper truth: she had been living in constant “push energy,” disconnected from herself and her true desires. What followed was not an overnight transformation, but a courageous, multi-year journey of choosing herself—again and again. From leaving her corporate career to starting over, navigating personal transitions, and ultimately discovering her voice through writing and storytelling, Mary reveals how her greatest challenges became the foundation for her purpose. What began as a single invitation to share her story in a book became a profound healing experience—and the catalyst for the work she now leads in the world. In this conversation, Mary opens up about the power of self-love, the importance of community and mentorship, and how sharing your story can unlock confidence, clarity, and impact in ways you never imagined. Together, Karrie and Mary explore the shift from striving and proving to aligning and becoming—and how choosing yourself fully can transform every area of your life. What you will learn Why burnout and panic can be a gateway to deeper purposeHow “push energy” keeps high achievers stuck and disconnectedThe role of self-love in creating lasting transformationWhy your story holds the key to your voice, visibility, and impactHow sharing your experiences can create healing for yourself and othersThe importance of choosing yourself—even when it feels uncomfortable How mentorship and community accelerate personal growthWhat it means to move from external success to internal alignment Whether you are navigating a major life transition, feeling disconnected from your current path, or ready to step into your next level of impact, this episode will remind you that your journey—every part of it—is leading you back to who you truly are.

    What If You Could Rewire Your Brain in Minutes with Tammy Magnuson

    Neuroscience, stress patterns, emotional regulation, subconscious reprogramming, self-healing, mindset, resilience, personal growth, becoming. In this powerful episode of The Journey of Becoming, Karrie Mitten sits down with Tammy Magnuson, founder of Reset with Tammy, to explore how understanding your brain can completely transform the way you experience stress, emotions, and healing. Tammy shares her deeply personal journey from navigating an intense custody battle and miscarriage to discovering neuroscience-based techniques that helped her release overwhelming stress and regain control of her emotional state. What began as a search for relief became a life-changing realization: the stress she was experiencing wasn’t just coming from the outside, it was being created and repeated within her own brain. This realization led Tammy to dive deeper into the science of how the brain stores patterns, emotions, and memories—and how those patterns can be interrupted and rewired. After later applying these techniques to heal her own body and cancel a scheduled knee replacement surgery, Tammy made it her mission to help others experience the same kind of transformation. In this conversation, Tammy breaks down neuroscience in a simple and relatable way, explaining how emotional patterns are formed, why the brain holds onto stress responses, and how we can begin to “unlink” those patterns to create new, empowering outcomes. Together, Karrie and Tammy explore the shift from feeling like life is happening to you to understanding how your internal responses shape your reality—and how that awareness becomes the foundation for true change. What you will learn Why stress is often created and reinforced internally, not just externallyHow the brain forms emotional patterns and why it repeats themWhat it means to “unlink” stress from your body and reactionsHow interrupting emotional patterns can quickly shift your stateWhy your brain updates memories—and how to use that to your advantageThe connection between subconscious programming and your daily experiencesA simple but powerful tool: interrupt and redirect your emotional patterns Whether you’re feeling stuck in recurring emotional cycles, overwhelmed by stress, or simply curious about how your mind works, this episode will give you a new perspective—and practical tools—to begin creating change from within.

In this powerful episode of The Journey of Becoming, Karrie Mitten sits down with Anna Felix, Smart Money Strategist and founder of a financial practice designed specifically for women entrepreneurs, professionals, and business owners. Anna helps women create financial strategies that align with their goals, protect their families, and build long term financial confidence. Anna’s journey into financial strategy was not something she planned. After a devastating car accident left her husband and daughter with traumatic brain injuries, years of medical care drained their financial resources. When her husband later passed away, Anna found herself starting over at 42 with overwhelming debt and very little guidance on how to rebuild. When she sought help from financial advisors, she was told she was not an ideal client and was even advised to “marry a rich man.” Instead of accepting that narrative, Anna chose a different path. She began a deep study of financial systems, tax strategies, and wealth building tools so she could rebuild her own life and eventually help other women avoid the same painful experience. Today, Anna supports women navigating financial uncertainty, life transitions, divorce, or widowhood by helping them create clear financial plans and build confidence around money. Her work empowers women to take ownership of their financial future so they can live with greater security, freedom, and peace of mind. What you will learnHow life’s most difficult challenges can become a catalyst for purposeWhy many women feel unprepared when it comes to financial decision makingThe importance of having open financial conversations within familiesHow mindset shifts can transform your relationship with moneyWhy financial planning is not only about wealth but about security and freedomHow women can begin taking practical steps toward financial confidenceWhy staying curious and committed to learning is essential for growth If you have ever felt uncertain about money, overwhelmed by financial decisions, or unsure where to begin when planning for the future, this episode will remind you that it is never too late to learn, rebuild, and take ownership of your financial path.
