    The Habit Reset High-Achieving Women Actually Need (It’s Not More Discipline) with Ronnie Loaiza

    Send a text Have you ever told yourself, “Okay. This time I’m going to stick with it.” And then a few weeks later… life happens. The routine shifts. The habit disappears. And suddenly you're questioning your consistency, your discipline — maybe even your identity.  If that sounds familiar, this episode is your reset. We’re revisiting one of our most powerful conversations with Ronnie Loaiza — behavioral science expert, certified habit coach, master certified life coach, and personal trainer — because the truth about habits is more relevant than ever. Especially for high-achieving women leaders. Because here’s what we see all the time: You don’t struggle with ambition or commitment. You struggle with trying to build habits on top of pressure, burnout, and unrealistic expectations. And your brain? It’s simply doing what it was wired to do. In This Episode, We Explore: ✨ Why willpower is overrated ✨ The difference between a routine and a habit ✨ What to do when a habit you built suddenly disappears ✨ Why 21 days is a myth (real studies show 85–185 days!) ✨ How to identify the hidden “reward” behind habits that aren’t serving you ✨ The neuroscience behind dopamine, celebration, and momentum ✨ Ronnie’s simple If–Then strategy for creating flexibility without losing progress ✨ Why momentum beats motivation every time We also go deeper into the pre-work most habit books skip: Before you build the habit, you have to uncover: What void is this habit filling? What reward am I unconsciously protecting? Does this habit actually align with who I’m becoming? Because sometimes the habit isn’t the problem. Sometimes it’s the identity shift happening underneath it. For the Leader Who… Feels pressure to perform at the highest level — alwaysWorries about burnout but keeps pushing anywayBelieves she “should be able to handle it all”Wants systems that support her success instead of draining herIs ready to work smarter — not harderThis conversation will meet you exactly where you are. Not with hustle, shame, or more discipline. But with neuroscience, compassion, and strategy. Reflect As You Listen: Where am I relying on motivation instead of systems?What tiny action could rebuild trust with myself today?What changed in my life that may have disrupted my routine?Am I judging myself… when I actually just need a new plan?High performance doesn’t require punishment. Sustainable leadership doesn’t require self-neglect. And habits that last? They’re built on awareness, alignment, and celebration. 💬 DM to work with us. ⭐️ Please leave a RATING or REVIEW!

    Leadership Is a Lifestyle: How Confidence, Decisiveness, and Grit Shape Powerful Women Leaders with Sherell Slaise

    Send us a text What if leadership isn’t something you learn one day, it’s something you embody in every single decision? In this episode, Alex sits down with Sherell Slaise—entrepreneur, leadership mentor, and self-described “yes-to-experience” leader—to unpack what leadership really looks like when it’s lived, not theorized. From walking away from corporate life, to building multiple businesses, to leading her family, teams, and even a sixth-grade volleyball squad, Sherell shares how confidence is built through experience, decisiveness creates safety, and true leadership is rooted in identity—not titles. This is a grounded, real conversation about leadership as a lifestyle: how the way you think shapes the way you lead, why certainty only comes after action, and how grit, commitment, and embodiment change results in business, relationships, and life. You’ll hear Sherell break down the core leadership attributes she lives by—and how high-achieving women can stop overthinking, trust themselves faster, and step fully into the CEO identity they know they’re meant for. ✨ Curious where you’re at in your own leadership evolution? Sherell also shares her CEO Readiness Quiz, designed to help high-achieving women assess how ready they are to lead at the next level in business. You can take it here: 👉 https://sherellslaise.com/quiz If you’re navigating big decisions, craving more confidence, or wondering how to lead powerfully without burning yourself out—this episode will meet you right where you are. 🎧 Tune in, reflect as you listen, and notice what shifts when leadership stops being something you chase—and becomes who you choose to be. 💬 DM to work with us. ⭐️ Please leave a RATING or REVIEW!

    Metabolic Health After 40: What Women Need to Know with Dr. Holly Donahue

    Send us a text What if the problem isn’t your discipline… but your metabolism? If you’re doing “all the right things” but your energy, sleep, or weight still feel off, this episode is for you. In this week’s conversation, Alex sits down with Dr. Holly Donahue, naturopathic doctor and metabolism expert, to talk about what really changes in the body—especially for high-achieving women navigating their late 30s, 40s, and beyond. They explore why pushing harder often backfires, how hormones, blood sugar, and the nervous system shape our results, and why appetite suppression alone doesn’t equal metabolic health. This is a grounded, empowering conversation about working with your body instead of fighting it. In this episode, you’ll hear about: Why old health strategies stop working after 40 The hidden role of cortisol, sleep, and blood sugar Why GLP-1 medications don’t “fix” metabolism on their own How protein, rest, and nervous system regulation change everything ✨ Reflection question:  What would change if you stopped forcing results and started supporting your body? Want to go deeper? Dr. Holly is hosting a FREE 5-Day Metabolism Reset Challenge for anyone currently using—or transitioning off—GLP-1 medications. 🗓 February 16–20, 2026  🎥 One short Zoom session per day (live or replay) Learn how to stabilize your metabolism, prevent rebound, and build results that last. 👉 Save your spot: https://get.simplehealthnh.com/sugar-detox-landing-june2025177545  🎧 Tune in and discover what being unleashed and unstoppable can look like when your body is finally on your side. 💬 DM to work with us. ⭐️ Please leave a RATING or REVIEW!

    “I Can Do This”: How Early Language Builds Confidence, Courage, and Leadership

    Send us a text What if confidence isn’t something we build later in life… but something we slowly learn to unlearn? In this heart-opening episode, Alex is joined by two powerful collaborators—artist Nadia & project partner Danielle—for a deeply personal conversation about Free to Be Me, a children’s book that’s quickly becoming a movement. What started as a quiet moment during a breathwork session (and a breastfeeding cuddle) has grown into a bold vision: helping the next generation of leaders stay connected to who they truly are—before the world teaches them otherwise. Together, the 3 explore why language matters so much in shaping belief, identity, and self-worth from the very beginning. Alex shares how her background in neuroscience, education, and leadership coaching—combined with becoming a mom—radically heightened her awareness of the words children hear every day… and the invisible stories those words plant. You’ll hear: Why phrases like “I’m busy” or “be careful” can quietly shape lifelong patterns of burnout and fearHow affirmations like “I can do this” become embodied beliefs when children are invited to truly own themWhat it means to raise children who feel seen, loved, and enough exactly as they areHow art becomes a bridge between emotion, identity, and belongingWhy this book is being intentionally co-created—with families, children, and the wider communityNadia offers a beautiful behind-the-scenes look at her creative process, sharing how she captures not just what a child looks like, but how they feel. Danielle grounds the conversation by weaving together the purpose, pacing, and importance of doing this work with care, integrity, and heart. ✨ Be Part of the Story Free to Be Me is now officially available for pre-order, and this episode marks the beginning of its next phase. In the coming weeks, we’ll be opening a crowdsourcing initiative that invites families, parents, grandparents, and supporters to help co-create the illustrations that bring this book to life. From full-page scenes to individual portraits, this project is being built with community, not just for it. If this conversation resonated with you—if you believe in raising children who feel confident, capable, and free to be themselves—this is your invitation to be part of something meaningful. 👉Pre-order your copy 👉Follow @alex.lianne.carter on Instagram for crowdsourcing updates and ways to 💬 DM to work with us. ⭐️ Please leave a RATING or REVIEW!

    The Moment You Stop Waiting to Be Ready

    Send us a text Ready to celebrate a win… and notice what happens next? What if the very thing you’ve been quietly holding in your heart is ready to be shared—not perfectly, but now? In this episode of Unleashed & Unstoppable, Alex and Carol invite you into a deeply real, behind-the-scenes conversation about intention, visibility, and the courage it takes to bring something meaningful into the world. What starts as a celebration of Alex’s children’s book Free To Be Me officially opening for pre-orders becomes a powerful exploration of what happens in our brains, bodies, and nervous systems when we choose to go public with what matters most. This isn’t just a conversation about launching a book. It’s about launching yourself into the next level—without burning out, overcomplicating the process, or waiting for “perfect.” Together, Alex and Carol reflect on: Why done really is better than perfect—and how simplicity creates momentumWhat’s actually happening in your nervous system when fear, tension, or doubt shows up during growthHow celebrating small wins releases the neuro-chemicals that help you move through resistance instead of retreatingThe power of declaring your intention out loud and letting your community support youWhy staying connected to the why matters more than obsessing over the howHow early beliefs around worthiness, safety, and love shape our leadership—and why it’s so powerful to rewire them early (for ourselves and our children)You’ll also hear Alex share vulnerably about the journey of bringing Free To Be Me to life—from the spark of an idea while nursing her daughter, to navigating visibility, discomfort, and expansion as the book enters the world. It’s a reminder that growth doesn’t have to feel forced—and that your body’s reactions don’t mean you’re doing it wrong. They often mean you’re doing something brave. As you listen, consider this: What’s the idea, goal, or desire you’ve been holding close that’s asking for air this year?Who’s in your corner to help you celebrate, reflect, and keep moving forward?What would change if you trusted the process instead of trying to control every step?Tune in, reflect, and let this episode remind you that your dreams don’t require perfection—just intention, support, and the willingness to take the next step.

    Free to Be Me: How Safety, Self-Expression, and Early Beliefs Shape Who We Become

    Send us a text At what point did you stop trusting yourself? Somewhere between childhood and leadership, many of us learned to be quieter, smaller, more “acceptable.” We learned to perform, to overthink, to seek approval — and eventually, to doubt the very instincts that once came naturally. In this powerful and reflective episode, Alex and Carol explore how early experiences shape confidence, self-expression, and leadership long before we ever realize it, and why so many high-achieving adults are still operating from beliefs formed in their earliest years. What begins as a conversation about learning environments quickly opens into something much bigger: how identity is shaped, how fear gets wired in, and how safety — emotional and neurological — is the foundation for confidence at any age. Along the way, Alex shares a deeply personal realization sparked by her daughter’s first parent-teacher interview in Panama — a moment that revealed not only what her child was learning, but the unconscious fears many of us carry based on stories we’ve absorbed from others’ experiences. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why being “met where you’re at” is essential for growth — in childhood and leadershipHow language, feedback, and labels quietly shape self-talk and identityThe difference between breaking generational patterns and reclaiming generational giftsWhy so many high performers struggle with self-doubt despite external successHow simple morning and evening “bookends” can regulate the nervous system and build self-trustThis conversation also reveals the heart behind Alex’s upcoming children’s book, Free to Be Me — a book written to help children grow up knowing they are safe, capable, worthy, and free to use their voice, before self-doubt ever takes hold. If you’re a parent, leader, educator, or coach who cares about confidence, self-trust, and raising the next generation — this book is for you. 👉 Pre-order your copy of Free to Be Me  (release date early 2026)! Pre-orders help bring this message into more homes and classrooms and include access to bonus parent and teacher resources designed to extend the learning beyond the story. 🎧 Press play and reflect on this question as you listen:  What might change if I remembered who I was before the world taught me to doubt myself? 💬 DM to work with us. ⭐️ Please leave a RATING or REVIEW!

    Habits That Actually Stick: The Science, the Myths & the Real Pre-Work with Ronnie Loaiza

    Send us a text What if the secret to finally sticking with your habits isn't more willpower… but understanding what your brain has been trying to tell you all along? And what if the reason you “fall off track” isn’t failure — but a hidden signal that something in your life or routine has shifted? This week, we’re taking a playful, science-rich, myth-busting dive into the world of habits with the incredible Ronnie Loaiza — behavioral science expert, master certified life coach, certified personal trainer, and habit coach. And trust us… this conversation will change the way you think about every goal you’re setting for 2026. Because here's the truth: if you’ve ever read Atomic Habits (or five other habit books), tried to follow the formula, and STILL wondered, “Why isn’t this working for me?” — you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. There’s real neuroscience behind why habits fail, why routines fall apart during life transitions, and what your brain actually needs to feel safe, focused, and capable of long-term change. Inside today’s episode, we explore: ✨ Why the “21-day habit rule” is a total myth — and what meta-studies actually show (85–185 days!)  ✨ The difference between a routine and a habit — and why losing your routine doesn’t mean you’ve lost your identity ✨ The real pre-work required before ANY habit change (hint: your why has layers your brain needs to feel anchored) ✨ How your environment, identity, and old neural pathways silently dictate your behavior ✨ Why momentum beats motivation every single time ✨ The role of dopamine and daily celebration in habit formation — especially for high achievers who rarely pause to acknowledge themselves ✨ How to spot the “void” a habit (good or bad) is filling — and finally shift the pattern without shame ✨ What to do when a habit you’ve mastered for years suddenly slips (life transitions, anyone?) ✨ How to build micro-habits that actually fit your leadership lifestyle, work rhythms, and emotional bandwidth ✨ Ronnie’s If–Then planning tool — a brain-friendly way to create flexibility without abandoning your goals Join Us If You’re Ready To: ✔ Reset your habits with compassion, not pressure ✔ Build routines that survive real life — travel, kids, career pivots, stress, or relocation ✔ Lead with more energy, clarity, and integrity ✔ Stop relying on motivation and start relying on neuroscience ✔ Feel grounded, confident, and unstoppable heading into 2026 Tune in, take a breath, and let’s build habits that honor who you’re becoming.

    Holiday Burnout to Holiday Connection: Reclaiming Presence, Joy, and Worthiness

    Send us a text Some holiday seasons feel light and sparkly… and others feel like emotional Jenga, one wobble away from toppling the whole tower. If that resonates, you’re in the right place. This episode is your grounding place, a reminder that the holidays don’t need you to perform, perfect, or push. They’re inviting you to connect. Today, Carol and Alex unwrap the real gift of the season: connection, with the people you love, with your community, and most importantly, with yourself. Whether you’re surrounded by family or celebrating quietly, this conversation helps you lean into presence rather than pressure, intention rather than hustle. If you’ve found yourself feeling lonely, overstimulated, guilty, overwhelmed, or just a little out of sync with the holiday spirit, this episode gently guides you back to what matters most… starting with remembering that you matter. In this episode, we explore: Why meaningful connection starts with being rather than doingHow self-approval fuels deeper relationships (and prevents burnout)Simple ways to feel connected even if family is far awayHow to interrupt loneliness or isolation with micro-moments of outreachCreative ways to build connection with kids by meeting them at their levelHeart-opening questions you can ask during gatherings to spark meaningful conversationsThe neuroscience behind connection, energy, and why you matter more than you realizeHow to set boundaries and protect your emotional well-being during a full seasonWhy leaders (yes, you) play a powerful role in shaping the emotional tone of a roomPractical ways to create joy and presence no matter what your holiday looks likeThis episode is a soft landing place, a reminder that you don’t need to earn your worth, fix everything, or hold the season together. You simply get to show up as you are, breathe, and receive connection in big and small ways. ✨ Let this be your permission slip: You matter. You are worthy. You deserve joy, presence, and love—today and every day. Whether you're listening on Christmas Day or catching up afterward, we hope this conversation fills your cup and brings warmth to your heart.
