In this solo episode, I dive into perfectionism, self-doubt, and the trap of trying to please everyone. I share a recent story about posting my new business launch in a mastermind group — and how the feedback I got on my photo choice revealed so much about whose opinions actually matter. If you’ve ever held yourself back out of fear of judgment or felt conflicted about what it means to be “professional,” this one’s for you.

• Why it’s crucial to separate constructive feedback from noise.
• The difference between looking professional and being professional.
• How to reframe fear of judgment when launching something new.
• Why pleasing everyone drains you — and why you only need the right 5%.
• Reflection questions to help you move past perfectionism and self-doubt.

Ever wondered what all those therapy letters mean—or how to know if you’re sitting across from the right person? In this candid conversation with my mom, licensed marriage and family therapist Veronika Noble, we unpack the confusing world of therapy: credentials, modalities, what to expect in the process, and how to find a good fit. We also dig into the rise of coaching, the role of AI, and why one bad experience doesn’t mean therapy isn’t for you. At its heart, this episode is about demystifying mental health support, sharing real talk about both the struggles and the healing, and circling back to the question that drives this podcast: what does happiness really mean?

What if the heaviest cages we live in aren’t made of steel, but of the stories we tell ourselves? In this episode, I explore how old narratives about struggle, hardship, money, or even what we believe we deserve can quietly keep us trapped, even when the door is wide open.

I share how a recent pregnancy loss stirred up some of my own deeply rooted stories and how mindset shapes the weight we feel in everyday life. Sometimes it is not about changing the circumstances, but about noticing the lens we are looking through.

Together, we unpack the connection between the stories we carry and the cages we live in, and what it might take to finally step out.

Takeaways

• We often carry heavy stories that affect our daily lives.
• The narratives we tell ourselves can confine us like cages.
• Recognizing the open door to freedom is crucial.
• Mindset plays a significant role in how we perceive challenges.
• Reframing our thoughts can lighten our emotional burdens.
• Grief can amplify the weight of our stories.
• Positive mindsets attract more positivity into our lives.
• Small victories can be overlooked when in a negative mindset.
• Awareness of our stories is the first step to change.
• Working on our financial narratives can lead to healthier relationships with money.

About this episode:

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and embodiment coach Chrystal Rose for a deep, real-talk conversation about what happiness actually is—and why so many of us are stuck chasing it instead of feeling it.

We explore nervous system regulation, embodiment, and the sneaky ways high-achieving women sabotage their joy (even while growing “successful” businesses). Chrystal shares powerful insight on building internal safety, making intuitive decisions, and what it really looks like to heal from the inside out.

We also talk about her own entrepreneurial journey—from boutique owner to coach to co-owning an archery shop (yes, really!)—and how honoring her intuition has led her to the life she didn’t even know she wanted.

Whether you’re burnt out, stuck in your head, or ready to finally feel good without the grind—this one’s for you.

Takeaways:

• Happiness is not a result but a state of being.
• Pain and happiness coexist and share the same space.
• Nervous system regulation is crucial for emotional well-being.
• Embodiment connects the mind and body, enhancing self-awareness.
• Self-care is essential for entrepreneurs to thrive.
• Intuition serves as a guiding force in decision-making.
• Mistakes are opportunities for growth and learning.
• Surrendering to uncertainty can foster a sense of safety.
• The healing journey is ongoing and filled with opportunities for growth.
• Being present in the moment enhances overall happiness.

In this episode of Chasing Happy, I’m joined by my friend Mary Lynn, who I met while walking the Camino de Santiago—a 500-mile pilgrimage across northern Spain that’s as much an inner journey as it is a physical one.

We talk about what drew each of us to the Camino, the brutal days that nearly broke us, the surprising friendships we made along the way (including a guy carrying a cat the entire distance!), and how the Camino became a metaphor for the rest of life: one step at a time, listening to your own body and truth, and letting go of perfection.

Mary Lynn opens up about her decision to leave a 15-year teaching career in search of herself—and how the trail helped her find peace, confidence, and clarity about what truly makes her happy.

If you’ve ever dreamed of dropping everything for a big adventure, or wondered whether happiness might be waiting for you somewhere unexpected, this episode is for you.

👉 Connect with Mary Lynn on Instagram @mloew28.

Takeaways

• The Camino de Santiago is a journey of self-discovery.
• Personal growth often comes from stepping into the unknown.
• Community and connections are vital during challenging times.
• Happiness can be found in contentment and peace.
• Life's struggles can lead to deeper understanding and resilience.
• It's okay to do things your own way, even on a pilgrimage.
• Collecting stories from experiences enriches life.

Everyone says they “just want to be happy,” but… what does that actually mean? In this solo episode, I get personal—reflecting on my fertility journey (spoiler: I’m pregnant!), the pressure to be “ready,” and how my own definition of happiness has shifted. This isn’t about fireworks or the perfect body or everything finally falling into place. It’s about presence. Self-trust. And maybe, finally, learning to sit in the neutral with both feet on the ground.

Takeaways

• Happiness is hard to define and varies for each individual.
• It can change as we grow and evolve.
• Happiness is often equated with external success, but it is more complex.
• The idea of happiness as a fleeting sacred alignment is profound.
• Happiness is not the absence of pain, but the presence of self-trust.
• Moments of happiness can be found in stillness and quiet.
• Angela's journey towards motherhood has been a significant part of her happiness exploration.
• Expectations can influence our perception of happiness.
• Happiness is not just about big wins but also about being present.
• Community and support play a crucial role in finding happiness.

In this first-ever guest episode, I sit down with my magical, multi-passionate friend Calliope to dive into the topics we always spiral into: intuition, creativity, shadow work, and the idea that life is a damn matrix.

We talk about what it actually means to listen to your intuition — how it speaks, how to hear it louder, and how fear often tries to hijack the wheel. We explore personal stories of uprooting, starting over, and realizing that most of what we’ve been taught about life is made up anyway.

There’s talk of plant medicine, Vegas, childhood awakenings, and the wild power that comes from integrating your shadow instead of running from it. It’s deep, a little irreverent, and full of those truth bombs we both live for.

This one’s part soul convo, part bestie catch-up — and it’s definitely not our last.

Takeaways

• The joy you're looking for might already be right here.
• Life is a matrix where we create our own rules.
• Intuition plays a crucial role in decision-making.
• Shadow work involves embracing all parts of oneself.
• Creativity is a channel that flows through us.
• Happiness is just one of many emotions we experience.
• We often hold ourselves back from pursuing what we truly want.
• Fate and free will coexist in our lives.
• Being present allows us to experience happiness in its many forms.
• The human experience encompasses a wide range of emotions.

What if the uncertainty, the in-between, the WTF even is this phase... was the point all along?

In this episode, I’m talking about the discomfort of not knowing — where you’re headed, what’s working, what’s next — and the real cost of always trying to get out of the waiting room instead of learning how to be in it. From fertility and business to moving and starting over (again), I’m sharing what’s been raw and real for me lately… and what I’m finally learning about staying put long enough to find clarity inside the mess, not after it.

• Angela shares her emotional journey with her fertility journey.
• She reflects on the discomfort of transitions in life.
• Angela emphasizes the importance of embracing uncertainty.
• She questions the need for clarity in decision-making.
• The conversation highlights the challenges of her fertility journey.

• She explores the idea of control versus acceptance in life.
• Angela acknowledges the pressure to escape discomfort.
• She encourages listeners to support themselves in uncertainty.
