    STOP Letting the Hive Mind Think FOR You | Wake Up Before You Lose Yourself!

    If your entire life is just vibes, trends, and whatever everyone else is doing, this episode is your wake-up call. You’re not “going with the flow”… you’re getting carried by the current. And if you never learn how to think, stand, choose, or believe for yourself, then don’t be shocked when you look around and realize you’ve built a life with no backbone, no convictions, and no real identity. This podcast confronts the hard reality that many people avoid: when everything you believe, do, wear, or chase is decided by the crowd, then nothing in your life is truly yours. This is about breaking the hive mind and reclaiming your originality before culture, trends, and social pressure swallow you whole. If you’re tired of feeling like a knockoff version of everyone around you… this one will hit hard.

  3. The Murder of Charlie Kirk: When Outrage Replaces Love (and How We Heal America)

    09/15/2025

    The Murder of Charlie Kirk: When Outrage Replaces Love (and How We Heal America)

    A man was killed for what he believed. On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was assassinated at a “Prove Me Wrong” event in Utah. A husband, a father, a voice for free speech, and a man who loved God, his family, and his country - Charlie’s life was stolen in a moment that should shake every one of us awake. This episode is not just about politics. It’s about what happens when outrage, anger, and being “triggered” run our lives. It’s about the cost of cutting off family members, burning friendships, celebrating when others fall, and—at its most extreme—justifying violence against someone because you don’t agree with them. We’ll talk about: * The danger of being ruled by emotions and outrage. * How being chronically online and fed algorithm-driven echo chambers can dehumanize others. * Why unchecked anger and constant triggers create a culture of hate. * The emotional warning signs when frustration turns into obsession, and obsession turns into destruction. * How to heal your own wounds so you can love others, even when you disagree. This is a PLEA: steward your heart, guard your mind, and heal what’s broken inside of you so you can be a voice of love in this world—not a weapon of destruction. Our world is desperate for healing. But the only way forward is if we each take initiative and do the work within ourselves first. If this message speaks to you, please share it with someone you love; not to shame them, but to encourage them in love. To honor Charlie: may we never forget that his life was spent not in hatred, but in conversation. He chose to debate, to listen, to show kindness even to those who opposed him. His legacy is one of faith, family, country, and the unshakable belief that free speech is worth protecting, not through violence, but through courage and love. May we carry that forward.

    So Be It — I’ll Be the Villain: What Healing Really Costs You & How to Grow Past It

    You’re not “acting different.” You are different — and that’s the whole point. They just liked you better when you didn’t know your worth. In this episode I dive deep into the uncomfortable reality of what happens when you grow — and they don’t. Whether it’s a church group, workplace, family, or old friend circle, sometimes your healing journey paints you as the villain in someone else's story. But here’s the truth: growth makes people uncomfortable, especially the ones who benefitted from your smaller self. Together, we’ll explore: 🧠 Why being misunderstood is part of the transformation process 💔 How loyalty, guilt, and control are weaponized to keep you small 👀 What to do when people cling to the “old you” and reject the healed one 🧍‍♀️ Real talk for the people who choose to misunderstand you — and how they can do better 🕊️ How to find peace in walking away without needing to be liked ✨ This is your permission slip to stop defending your healing. 🔗 CONNECT WITH ME 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamcicily/ 🌐 Website + Blog: https://www.elevatecollective.info/ 🎧 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@iamcicily 👇 Drop a comment below if this hit home — and don’t forget to subscribe for weekly episodes on personal growth, boundaries, mental health, and becoming your most aligned self. * how to set boundaries and not feel guilty * personal growth and losing friends * being misunderstood after healing * when people don't like the new you * outgrowing toxic environments * mental health and self awareness * how to protect your peace * emotional maturity podcast * self worth and healing journey * church hurt and spiritual abuse * learning to let go and move on * stop being a people pleaser — 🏷️ Hashtags: \#SelfGrowth #MentalHealthPodcast #PersonalDevelopment #Boundaries #ChurchHurt #EmotionalHealing #PeoplePleaserRecovery #InnerWork #BigSisterTalk #HealingJourney #Confidence #OutgrowingPeople #Deconstruction #SelfWorth #Misunderstood #GrowthIsLonely #WellnessPodcast #YoureNotTheVillain

  7. The Lie in Waiting: Stop Asking for Permission to Live Your Own Life

    The Lie in Waiting: Stop Asking for Permission to Live Your Own Life

    Are you stuck in a "waiting season" — or are you just afraid to move? This episode is for the ones who feel paralyzed by indecision, fear, or doubt… and for those who’ve been taught that waiting is a virtue, even when it becomes a prison. The truth? Waiting can become a weapon of inaction. And for many, it’s not spiritual, strategic, or wise — it’s just safe. But safe won’t get you where you’re meant to go. We also reference one of the most eye-opening books when it comes to relationships, growth, and personal accountability: 📘 The New Rules for Love, Sex & Dating by Andy Stanley — grab your copy on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/New-Rules-Love-Sex-Dating/dp/0310337682 Huge thanks to our sponsor: Elevate Collective — empowering creators and entrepreneurs through branding, marketing, and merch. Shop the official YouTube University Merch line: https://www.elevatecollective.info/shop This episode is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. Whether you’ve been waiting… or teaching others to wait — it’s time to question the narrative. You don’t need permission to live the life you were made for. You just need to decide you’re done waiting. 📲 CONNECT WITH ME: Instagram: @iamcicily TikTok: @‌iamcicily YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@iamcicily Website: www.elevatecollective.info Merch : www.elevatecollective.info/shop 📩 Want to work together?
