Becoming More Me

I sat down with MJ Renshaw — founder of The Being Method and author of How to Cry — and we went deeper than the usual breathwork conversation. We connected breath to our ability to follow through on daily tasks and goals in ways most people don’t notice, but that matter greatly.

MJ’s work blends science and spirituality. With her background in anatomy and physiology, plus lived experience navigating trauma and emotional shutdown, she teaches breathwork in a way that connects what’s happening in your body with why you might still feel stuck, even when you “know better.”

For so many high-achieving women — especially ADHD entrepreneurs — the issue isn’t lack of intelligence, awareness, or strategy. It’s that your nervous system doesn’t feel safe enough to follow through.

We talked about how modern life trains us into stress-based breathing patterns, how that keeps the body in urgency, overwhelm, and avoidance, and why forcing yourself to “calm down” can backfire.

Instead, MJ shares how to meet your nervous system where it is, and how your breath can create space between your initial reaction and how you actually want to respond.

That pause is where you stop repeating old patterns… and start choosing something different.

We also explored crying, anger, and sensitivity, not as things to suppress or fix, but as signals your body is trying to process.

If you’ve been trying to think your way into action… this will shift how you approach it. ✨

This conversation is one of those episodes that shifts how you see money, and yourself.

I sat down with Catherine Morgan, a multi-award-winning financial coach, former financial advisor, and host of It’s Not About The Money, to explore the deeper side of money, wealth, and behavior.

Catherine specializes in financial psychology, helping women heal their relationship with money so they can build sustainable wealth without shame, anxiety, or self-sabotage. And in this episode, we go far beyond traditional financial advice.

We talk about:

• Why financial literacy alone doesn’t create financial success
• How your nervous system and subconscious patterns impact money habits
• The connection between trauma, identity, and financial behavior
• Why two people with the same money knowledge get completely different result

Catherine also shares the defining moment that led her to leave financial services and step into financial coaching and reveals how confusion, overwhelm, and shame keep so many people stuck with money.

If you’ve struggled with money mindset, inconsistent habits, or feeling stuck despite knowing what to do, this episode will give you a powerful new perspective.

Because real financial transformation isn’t just about strategy.

It’s about creating safety in your body to earn, hold, and grow wealth.

And once that shifts… everything changes ✨

What if healing isn’t about fixing yourself, but expanding your capacity to live?

In this episode of Becoming More Me, I sit down with somatic therapist Megan Sherer to explore how nervous system regulation, identity shifts, and attachment patterns shape the way we show up in relationships and life.

Many women have done years of personal growth work, therapy, and self-development… yet still find themselves repeating the same patterns in relationships, people-pleasing, overfunctioning, or emotional burnout. We unpack why awareness alone isn’t always enough, and why the body holds the key to real transformation.

We also discuss how numbness, anger, and emotional activation are not problems to suppress, but signals from the nervous system that contain important information. You’ll also hear why healing can quietly become an identity, how attachment wounds influence romantic relationships, and how somatic work helps reconnect you with your body’s wisdom.

If you’ve ever thought, “I understand my patterns, so why am I still stuck?” , this conversation will give you a deeper perspective on identity change, emotional regulation, and true healing.

In This Episode

• Why healing can become an identity trap

• How nervous system regulation actually works

• Why numbness in the body is important information

• The difference between emotional regulation and suppression

• How attachment patterns shape romantic relationships

• Why identity shifts feel threatening to the brain

• How somatic healing reconnects you to your body’s wisdom

• Why retreats can accelerate personal growth and identity change

If you’ve ever felt like your brain moves at 100 mph while the world expects you to function at the speed limit…this episode is for you! ✨

In Episode 234 of Becoming More Me, Theresa sits down with Ky Wescott from The Vibe With Ky- viral content creator, mental health advocate, and senior paid media strategist with an audience of 2+ million across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
Ky is known for creating the kind of ADHD content that makes people say, “Wait… does he live in my head?” But beneath the humor is something deeper: a real commitment to honesty, connection, and helping people feel less alone in their ADHD, anxiety, depression, and executive dysfunction.

Together, Theresa and Ky talk about what it looks like to manage mental health without pretending you’re fine, how to create amazing content without burning out, and why connection will always beat chasing virality.

Episode Highlights:

• Ky’s “chapter one” message for newly diagnosed ADHD and depression
• The hard season that changed everything for Ky: heartbreak, injury, and loss within the same 30 day period
• What depression can look like behind the scenes, even when someone seems “positive” online
• Why Ky prioritizes connection over virality, and the mindset shift that makes content sustainable
• Content batching, creative systems, and ADHD-friendly structure that supports consistency
• Monetization that doesn’t depend on platforms: partnerships, products, email lists, subscriptions
• ADHD in the workplace: task initiation, clutter, and setting your environment up for success.
• The “this can go away at any moment” reality of a platform… and why owning your audience matters

Ky Wescott is the creator behind The Vibe With Ky and host of The Vibe With Ky Podcast. His content blends humor and mental health truth in a way that helps people feel seen, validated, and less alone.

He’s been recognized as a Feedspot Top 10 ADHD Influencer, named a JCI Ten Outstanding Young American, and was invited to the 2024 White House Creator Summit, where he met and spoke with President Biden.

If you’ve ever set a goal that looked amazing on paper… and then your body responded with tension, avoidance, procrastination, or comparison—this episode gives you a simple framework to stop repeating that cycle and start creating goals your nervous system can actually hold.

What you’ll get from this episode:

• Set goals in a way that reduces self-sabotage when things start going well
• Identify the hidden “capacity gap” that creates push → crash → avoidance → shame
• Learn how to work with your body + subconscious (not just your mindset) for sustainable change
• Build internal safety so visibility, money, growth, and leadership feel steadier
• Turn “failure” into usable feedback instead of a shame spiral
• Strengthen boundaries so your energy stops leaking and expansion feels safer
• Walk away with a fast nervous-system reset you can use in real time

Your ceiling = the biggest vision you can hold in your mind.

Your floor = your deepest operating belief (what your nervous system acts out when nobody’s watching).

Your life happens in between… and if the ceiling is high but the floor is low, your system will pull you back to what’s familiar—even if it’s exhausting.

This episode is for high-achieving women (and ambitious humans) who are smart, strategic, and capable… but still find themselves bracing, overthinking, procrastinating, or collapsing right when growth is happening.

If this landed, I invite you to leave a review, share the episode, and choose one belief you’re done living from in 2026—then support your nervous system as you shift it.

What if confidence isn’t something you “have”… but something you practice until it finally feels like yours? ✨

In this episode, I’m joined by Simone Knego, bestselling author, international speaker, and host of the Her Unshakable Confidence podcast. Simone created the REAL Method for building real confidence from the inside out, and she’s sharing what actually helped her go from chronic self-doubt to steady self-trust.

You’ll want to listen if you’ve ever looked successful on paper but still felt shaky inside. We talk about how to stop performing confidence, how to set boundaries without drowning in guilt, why failure is part of success, and how one tiny word (“just”) can quietly drain your power.

Inside this episode, we cover:

• Why confidence is a skill (not a personality trait you’re born with)
• The REAL Method: Respect yourself, Embrace failure, Ask what you want, Live without limits.
• A clean boundary script you can use immediately
• How to quiet the “what-if” spiral and reset your mindset (Control-Alt-Delete)
• Simple daily practices that build self-trust over time (even if it feels awkward at first)

You’ll want to listen if you’ve ever looked successful on paper but still felt shaky inside. Tune in now!

You’re not behind…you’re just tired of “trying harder” and still feeling like you can’t fully exhale.

If you’ve ever had that moment where you know you’re capable, you know you’re doing a lot, and yet money (or support, or opportunity) still feels…weirdly hard to receive—this workshop replay is for you. ✨

In Episode 231, I’m teaching the same thing I had to learn the hard way: abundance isn’t something you chase. It’s something your nervous system has to feel safe enough to allow.

We talk about why so many smart, driven people get stuck in “striving but never arriving”…and why it’s not a motivation problem or a “just think positive” situation. It’s subconscious programming. It’s old emotional wiring. It’s the body bracing.

And then we shift it—together.

This isn’t just a listen-and-nod episode. It’s a tap-along experience with three EFT rounds designed to help you:

• calm the money stress spiral
• soften debt guilt and self-judgment
• stop the “I have to earn everything the hard way” pattern
• expand your capacity to receive without overgiving, proving, or panicking

We also use money as a mirror (because it’s honest like that)…but what we’re really working on is receiving—in every form. Support. Ease. Love. Opportunities. Breath.

If you want a lighter body, clearer choices, and a different relationship with abundance that doesn’t require burnout to be “valid”…press play and let yourself actually do the work with me. You don’t have to do it perfectly—just be willing. ❤️✨

Parenting “complex kids” is… a lot. ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, emotional dysregulation, big feelings, big talents, and a million moving parts. 

It’s no wonder so many parents end up feeling like exhausted, overwhelmed “Supermoms” (or dads) who are doing everything for everyone and still wondering why it’s not working.

In this episode, Theresa sits down with Diane Dempster, co-founder, coach, and COO at Impact Parents, to talk about what it really means to raise complex kids in a neuro-informed way. 

Diane shares her story as a self-described “recovering yelling mom,” how coaching transformed her parenting, and why our kids’ brains don’t always respond to the typical parenting formulas we’re handed.

Together, they unpack:

• Why strategies like “1-2-3 Magic” often don’t work consistently for kids with ADHD and executive function challenges
• The difference between neurodiverse and neurodivergent, and why stress and overwhelm can make any brain look “neuro spicy”
• How to think in terms of realistic expectations (including the “3–5 year delay” in executive function)
• Diane’s ACTION model and “relationship-first” approach to parenting
• A live coaching example using Theresa’s real-life dinner time struggles with her four ADHD kids

You’ll also hear practical ideas for transitions (like getting kids off screens and to the dinner table without constant meltdowns), why collaboration matters more than control, and how to support your child’s agency without abandoning them to figure it all out alone.

If you’re parenting a complex kid and have ever thought, “Why does this work one day and not the next?” or “Why can’t we just have a normal dinner?”, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. ❤️

In this episode, we'll decode the often misunderstood hyperactive mind— it's not just about being physically energetic but also having a mind that’s always on the go. This is one reason why the H part of the ADHD diagnosis is often confusing to some. 

I also share my personal journey with ADHD— from my late diagnosis at 42 to navigating it all alongside my four amazing boys, who also experience ADHD. 🧠💖

Here’s a sneak peek at what we cover:

• Understanding the H in ADHD: The Hyperactivity part of ADHD Is often misunderstood so I'll share all the ways it shows up and 12 ways to Calm the H in ADHD as well! 
• Real-Life Strategies: From using Time Timers to stay on track, to the power of EFT Tapping and essential oils, I spill all my go-to techniques for managing ADHD effectively.
• The ADHD Label: I share my mixed feelings about getting a label and how it’s less about the diagnosis and more about understanding how our brains work.
• Daily Practices: Whether it’s gratitude journaling, grounding, or simply taking a mindful walk, these practices have been game-changers for me and probably will be for you, too.

One of the things I love about this episode is how it highlights the positives of ADHD— our endless curiosity, the joy of learning, and the creative brainstorming that makes us unstoppable. 🌟

So, whether you have ADHD, know someone who does, or just want to learn more about neurodivergent thinking, this episode is for you.

That feeling when the holidays start to roll in and it secretly feels less like 

“the most wonderful time of the year” 

and more like a performance review of your worth as a human? 🥴✨

In this episode, I’m inviting you into a different story… 

...one where you don’t have to earn your rest, your joy, or your pleasure by running yourself into the ground first. Using Thanksgiving as our starting point, we look honestly at burnout culture, invisible emotional labor, and that high-achiever part of you that believes everything will fall apart if you slow down.

Together, we walk through a guided EFT tapping session you can use anytime you feel the pressure building—holidays, busy seasons, or just a random Tuesday night when your calendar is overflowing and your body is begging for a break and give your nervous system a little reset so genuine gratitude and joy feel accessible again… 

not forced.

Listen in if you:

• Feel secretly resentful or exhausted while trying to be “grateful”
• Take on all the invisible holiday labor so everyone else can enjoy themselves
• Struggle with ADHD-ish tendencies that confuse constant stimulation with aliveness
• Want rest to be a prerequisite for your life, not a prize you get after suffering

By the end, you’ll have a simple, repeatable tapping practice you can sneak into the bathroom at a family gathering, do in your car between events, or use anytime you notice yourself trying to earn what was always meant to be yours: 

rest, support, joy, and a regulated nervous system. 🌙✨
