    If you’re waiting to feel like the woman you’re becoming before you act like her… you’re doing it backwards. Welcome to the final episode in our 4-part “Interrupt the Pattern” series, where we close the loop on what it really takes to shift your habits, beliefs, and identity, for good. This week, we’re talking about identity-based change and why it’s the key to lasting transformation. We’ve spent the last few weeks recognizing the patterns that no longer serve us, learning how to pause and interrupt them, and replacing them with new behaviors. But this is where it “sticks” Inside this episode, I’m sharing: How to anchor your new habits in the identity of the person you’re becomingA journaling prompt that will rewire your brain and reshape your lifeA sneak peek at the Lead Your Life App launching September 8th!Small shifts. Repeated often. That’s how you become her.

    Interrupt the Pattern [Week 3] - New Pattern New Programming

    We’ve named the pattern.  We’ve practiced the pause. Now it’s time to rewire. In this episode, I’m sharing the real-life next step in our “Interrupt the Pattern” series, and it’s the part where true change begins. Because awareness is powerful, but action is what rewires the brain. I get a little personal in this one and open up about a pattern I’ve been working on in my own life, how it shows up, what I’ve learned from it, and what I’m choosing to do instead. (Spoiler: It’s not always easy, but it is always worth it.) Together, we’ll talk about: Why your brain resists change, and how to work with it, not against itHow to uncover the real need hiding behind your old habitHow to name a new behavior that supports who you’re becomingThis isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being aware, and learning how to interrupt the loop and choose a new path, even when it feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar. So take a deep breath, tune in, and ask yourself: What do I want to do instead?

    Interrupt the Pattern [Week 2] - The Power is in the Pause

    Ever find yourself stuck in the same frustrating loops, overcommitting, spiraling into self-doubt, or working yourself to the edge of burnout, and wonder why you keep doing it? It’s not because you’re broken. It’s because you’re wired that way. But here’s the good news: your wiring can change. In this powerful kickoff to our July series, I’m talking about the habit loops and mental patterns that run our lives on autopilot, often without us even realizing it. Drawing from habit science and real-life examples, I explain how your brain is simply trying to protect you… even if the patterns it’s built are no longer serving you. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why we repeat patterns we know are unhealthyHow your brain creates, and clings to, habit loops for survivalWhy self-awareness is the most underrated tool for changeHow to shift from judging your patterns to witnessing them with compassionThis isn’t about fixing yourself, it’s about finally seeing yourself clearly. Because once you see the loop, you can interrupt it.

    Energy Management Pt. 4

    Welcome to the final episode of our 4-part mini-series on energy management! If you’ve been with me from the beginning, then you’ve already learned how energy influences your leadership, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We’ve talked about energy zones, how to restore what’s been depleted, and what to do when burnout looms. In this powerful closing episode, we’re bringing it all together. You’ll learn how to build your personalized energy system, a repeatable rhythm that supports your leadership, protects your peace, and honors the human behind the mission. We’ll walk through a 4-part framework rooted in the science of habit formation, inspired by Atomic Habits by James Clear. Energy isn’t just something you have, it’s something you build. And systems, not willpower, are the key to sustaining it. In this episode, you’ll learn how to: - Build a personal energy rhythm that works with your natural flow - Align your tasks with your real-time energy levels - Design micro, meso, and macro recovery rituals that actually recharge you - Create protective systems and beliefs to sustain your energy long-term - Shift your identity from “pushing through” to a leader who honors her limits RESOURCES: North Star Meditation: https://fabulous-pioneer-9504.kit.com/de6f72ebb6 Atomic Habits - James Clear Answer these questions: I am the kind of person who protects her energy by [fill in the blank]. My signs of depletion are what? My energizing habits include what? Here's how I recover when I feel drained.A boundary I will hold this week to protect my energy is blank.Connect with me in the Strong and Resilient Woman Community on Facebook HERE (https://www.facebook.com/groups/yogaformilitarywomen) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themilitaryyogi Podcast Website: www.leadingwithheartpodcast.com SHOW NOTES: https://www.christinamattisonyoga.com/blog/episode71 Connect with me in the Strong and Resilient Woman Community on Facebook HERE (https://www.facebook.com/groups/yogaformilitarywomen), or on Instagram @themilitaryyogi More about Christina Mattison and the Leading with Heart Podcast Hey there!

    The Problem with No Problems with Brooke Brzozowske Pt. 2

    You don’t have to have all the answers to be a powerful leader, but you do need to create space for better answers to emerge. In this inspiring continuation of our conversation, Brooke Brzozowske and I go deeper into the internal experience of leadership, the fear of not knowing, the pressure to perform, and the courage it takes to stay grounded in presence rather than perfection. Brooke shares how reflection, vulnerability, and emotional self-awareness can radically shift the way we lead ourselves and others. We also dive into her own bold career transition as she leaves federal service after 20 years to pursue purpose-aligned entrepreneurship full-time. Her story is a beautiful reminder that leadership is just as much about who you're becoming as what you're doing. If you've ever felt like you're juggling it all and still questioning if you’re doing enough, this episode will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and equipped to lead from a deeper place of truth. In this episode, we explore: Why vulnerability can build more trust than always having the right answerThe importance of self-awareness and reflection in leadershipHow to navigate transition in a way that aligns with your valuesWhy curiosity is the antidote to burnout, judgment, and stagnationThe powerful difference between performing leadership vs. embodying it RESOURCES: Connect with Brooke Brzozowske: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/upuntilnow_leadership_coaching/ Website: www.tilnowcoaching.com LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/brooke-brzozowske  Workbook: https://thislittleconsultingfirm.kit.com/products/overwhelm-to-action-workbook Join the Strong and Resilient Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/336774597179247 SHOW NOTES: https://www.christinamattisonyoga.com/blog/episode70 Connect with me in the Strong and Resilient Woman Community on Facebook HERE (https://www.facebook.com/groups/yogaformilitarywomen), or on Instagram @themilitaryyogi More about Christina Mattison and the Leading with Heart Podcast Hey there!
