    Ep 147: Lost Your Spark? How to Reconnect With Yourself and Feel Alive Again | Part 1: Why You Feel Disconnected

    Send us Fan Mail Do you ever catch yourself thinking "Is this it?" or "I thought I'd feel happier by now" — even when nothing is technically wrong?  You're not broken. You're disconnected. And there's a difference. In Part 1 of this two-part series, I open up about my own post-divorce experience of doing all the "right" things while still feeling like something was missing, and why that feeling is far more common than we talk about. This isn't a motivation problem or a discipline problem. It's a disconnection problem. Using my body, mind & spirit framework, I break down why so many women pour energy into two of those pillars while the third — spirit —  fades into the background. The result is a life that looks good on paper but feels flat, busy but not fulfilling, productive but not alive. In this episode: why "going through the motions" sneaks up on us, how management mode takes over without us noticing, and why you genuinely cannot think your way into feeling alive. Part 2 will cover what to actually do about it. === Mentioned in this episode: === Wellness Wake Up intro program — $99 — LEARN MORE HERE Untamed by Glennon Doyle* *Full disclosure: I participate in the Amazon Associates program.

    Ep 144: Stop Waiting to Feel Confident: Why Courage Comes First

    Send us Fan Mail Confidence isn’t something you need before you take action. It’s something you build along the way. In this episode, I share a powerful story from climbing the Half Dome cables in Yosemite and explains why confidence almost never comes first. Instead, confidence grows through courage, action, and small moments of bravery. If you’ve ever found yourself waiting to feel “ready” before pursuing a goal, starting a new habit, speaking up, or making a life change, this episode will help you shift your perspective and take the first step. You’ll learn why fear is often a signal that you’re on the edge of growth and how small acts of courage can gradually reshape how you see yourself. Remember: confidence isn’t the starting point...it’s the result of taking action. Key TakeawaysWhy confidence usually comes after action, not beforeThe real sequence: Fear → Courage → Action → ConfidenceHow fear often signals you’re on the edge of growthWhy confidence is built through small acts of courageHow courageous actions slowly reshape your identity and self-beliefA simple 3-step practice to start building confidence todayResources ** Work with Me: The Wellness Wakeup ** For just $99, you get a 60-minute lifestyle audit session where we find the "trouble spots" that are keeping you from living the you want.

If so, you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not lazy. In this episode, we’re unpacking all-or-nothing thinking and how perfectionism can quietly fuel burnout, especially for women navigating the demands of midlife. I share why our brains default to extremes, how self-judgment keeps us stuck, and practical ways to shift toward a more sustainable “middle way.” Instead of swinging between all and nothing, you’ll learn how small, consistent actions can help you rebuild self-trust and momentum. In This Episode, We Cover: What all-or-nothing thinking is and how to recognize itWhy this pattern often intensifies in our 40s and 50sThe connection between perfectionism, shame, and burnoutWhy showing up at 60% consistently beats 100% occasionallyHow to use a “low power mode” approach to stay consistent even on hard daysWhy small habits are the key to lasting changeShare Your Win If this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear from you!  Come share your “level two win” with me: Instagram: @k.a.rivard Facebook: @KortneyRivardWellnessCoaching Website: kortneyrivard.com Resources Episode 117: Do it Scared: Lessons Learned from Climbing Half Dome ** Work with Me: The Wellness Wakeup ** For just $99, you get a 60-minute lifestyle audit session where we find the "trouble spots" that are keeping you from living the you want.

  6. What Real Strength Looks Like (Without Burnout, Overtraining, or Doing More)

    What Real Strength Looks Like (Without Burnout, Overtraining, or Doing More)

    Send us Fan Mail What does strength actually mean in this season of life? For many women, strength has quietly become performative. Longer workouts, more discipline, pushing through exhaustion, and constantly wondering, “Am I doing enough?” But real strength isn’t about proving yourself. It’s about supporting yourself. In this episode, we move beyond the traditional definition of strength training and explore a deeper, more sustainable version of strength through the three pillars of wellness: body, mind, and spirit. You’ll hear a refreshing perspective on: Why longer and harder workouts aren’t always better (especially in your 40s and beyond)The hidden pressure of the “should” voice and comparison cultureHow mental strength is built through self-awareness, not self-criticismThe emotional side of overworking, overtraining, and staying busyWhat it means to stop performing strength and start choosing what’s aligned for your life and energy This episode is especially for the woman who wants to feel strong and empowered, but is also tired of the constant pressure to do more, be more, and push harder. True strength isn’t about domination or discipline alone. It’s about self-trust, sustainability, and choosing what genuinely supports your body, your mind, and your life right now. If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting to feel strong and feeling completely exhausted by the pressure of “doing enough,” this conversation is for you! Support the show Want more?

    Ep 141: When You Feel Stuck but Your Life Is Good: Understanding the “Meh” Season

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt stuck, flat, or quietly disconnected — even though your life looks good on paper? Not burnout. Not crisis. Just… meh. In this episode, I explore what I call the “meh” season” — the in-between phase where you’ve outgrown who you’ve been, but you haven’t fully stepped into who you’re becoming. We talk about: Why feeling stuck is part of normal growthHow feeling “meh” shows up across body, mind, and spiritWhy wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful or selfishThe difference between motivation problems and identity shiftsHow to move forward by pausing, listening, and gently realigningIf you’ve been wondering, “Why do I feel this way when my life is good?” , this conversation will give you a compassionate new lens. Feeling stuck isn’t a failure. It’s feedback. When you stop fighting it and start listening to it, it becomes your compass back to aliveness. === Resources === The Wellness Wakeup - Introductory Program for New Clients If this episode resonated and you’re ready to move from “meh” to aligned, my $99 intro session — The Wellness Wake Up — is the perfect next step. Together, we’ll audit your life across the three pillars (body, mind, and spirit), identify where you feel stuck, and create simple, meaningful action steps in any or all of the pillars to help you realign with who you’re becoming. You don’t need a new life, you need a more aligned version of the one you already have. Learn more HERE Support the show Want more?

    Ep 140: Stop Performing and Start Living with Unapologetic Authenticity

    Send us Fan Mail What does it really mean to perform in your life? In this episode of Real, Brave, & Unstoppable, we explore how performing often shows up in subtle ways—editing yourself, second-guessing your truth, or living by the “shoulds” to feel accepted or safe. I share a personal dating example that highlights how performing doesn’t always come from insecurity, but from a desire for clarity, self-respect, and choice. From there, we unpack why we perform, the hidden cost of doing so, and how to begin living with unapologetic authenticity. This episode is an invitation to stop managing how you’re perceived and start making choices that are aligned with who you really are.  In this episode: What performing really is (and what it’s not)Why we learn to edit ourselvesHow performing shows up in dating, work, and wellnessThe hidden cost of living this wayWhat unapologetic authenticity actually looks likeSimple steps to stop performing and start living more honestly === Resources === Wellness Wake Up: $99 Intro Coaching Session A one-hour session to clarify aligned, actionable goals across body, mind, and spirit.Free Quiz: What's Your Habit Hangup?
