Bethany opens up about her journey from corporate life and motherhood to discovering a deeper calling and building something of her own.

They dive into what it means to feel unfulfilled even when everything looks good on paper, how our thoughts shape our reality, and why mindset work isn’t just “woo”—it’s science-backed. Bethany shares powerful tools to manage emotional overwhelm, retrain your brain, and finally prioritize what matters most.
