Choose On Purpose

What are you waiting for before you give yourself permission to be fully YOU?

In Part 2 of my conversation with Muse 15 participant, author & transformational mindset coach Kathleen Huebner, we're exploring what happens when you stop seeking approval, start trusting your intuition & choose to take action before you feel ready.

Kathleen shares how she's learning to become UNBOTHERED by other people's opinions, make decisions with confidence, protect her energy through boundaries & move through fear rather than letting it keep her playing small.

We also dive into the story behind her book, Whispers Within, and how one small step became something bigger than she originally imagined.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• Trusting your intuition & listening to your inner voice

• Setting boundaries without apologizing for who you are

• Moving through fear & getting comfortable with discomfort

• Using breathwork, reflection & nature to reconnect with yourself

• Taking small, intentional actions toward your bigger dreams

• Owning your story & allowing yourself to be SEEN

Kathleen reminds us that waiting for the perfect moment can cost us the very experiences we're longing to create.

You don't have to know the entire path.

You just have to be willing to take the next step.

🎙️ Listen in & ask yourself: What is ONE thing you've been waiting to feel ready for that you could begin TODAY?

Love Yourself. Live Fearlessly. & Do All Things With Purpose.

What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of confidence, but the fear of what happens when you finally let yourself be seen?

Bestselling author, keynote speaker & mindset coach Kathleen joins Becky Plautz to share her Muse Experience journey from declaring she'd get comfortable being uncomfortable to actually living it.

In Part 1, we explore overcoming self-doubt, fear of visibility, perfectionism, vulnerability & the courage to use your voice authentically. Kathleen shares how transformational coaching, a breakthrough boudoir photoshoot & seeing herself differently helped her move from hiding her confidence to owning it.

Because being seen doesn't mean becoming someone else.

It means trusting yourself enough to show up as YOU.

🎙️ Choose On Purpose Podcast, where leaders live with intention.

🎙️What if your breakthrough isn't becoming someone new?

I'll be confident when...

I lose the weight.

I have more money.

I figure out what I'm doing.

I feel ready.

I stop being nervous.

I become HER.

But I've been thinking about this question a lot:

What if practicing being her is HOW you become her?

That's where we're going in Episode 174 // RECLAIM: Your Breakthrough Isn't Becoming Someone New.

We've spent October talking about BREAKTHROUGH.

Becoming aware.

Facing the truth.

Releasing resistance.

Choosing differently.

But what happens on the OTHER SIDE of that?

Who rises when you're no longer using so much energy trying to maintain an old version of yourself?

Maybe it's your voice.

Your creativity.

Your softness.

Your boundaries.

Your leadership.

Your joy.

Your confidence.

Your willingness to be SEEN.

One of the biggest things I've learned through photographing & coaching women is that confidence isn't a costume I can put on you.

I can't pose you into self-worth.

I can't Photoshop self-trust into your nervous system.

& honestly?

I don't want to create some shinier, more acceptable version of you anyway.

I want YOU.

That's why I'm fascinated by the moment a woman looks at one of her photographs & thinks:

Wait...that's ME?

The photograph didn't create her.

It gave her evidence.

& we create that kind of evidence every single day.

Every promise you keep.

Every boundary you honor.

Every time you speak when you would've stayed silent.

Every time you receive instead of immediately deflecting.

Every time you let yourself be seen.

Every time you choose differently.

Evidence.

So this week's Confidence Catalyst question is:

✨ What part of me is rising stronger as I release what no longer serves me?

& then take it one step further:

What is ONE thing she would do this week?

Don't just journal about her.

Practice being her.

🎧 Listen to Episode 174 // RECLAIM: Your Breakthrough Isn't Becoming Someone New on the Choose On Purpose Podcast.

& if this conversation has you realizing you don't just want to THINK about your next chapter...

you want to see her, hear her & experience her...

I am currently looking for the final 3 women to complete my goal of walking 15 women through the full Muse Experience.

You don't have to already feel confident.

You don't have to have everything figured out.

& you definitely don't have to wait until some imaginary future version of you finally feels “ready.”

Maybe your breakthrough begins with being willing to meet the woman who's already there. 💛

Release resistance. Rise higher. Reclaim your power.

Empower Your Journey: Choose On Purpose.

What if your biggest breakthrough isn't a dramatic life change, but the moment you finally recognize what's been holding you back?

In Episode 173 of the Choose On Purpose Podcast, women from the Level Up OP community join Becky for their monthly Strategy Hour to explore B.R.E.A.K., a five-step framework for personal growth:

Be Aware. Release Resistance. Embrace the Truth. Act on What You Know. Keep Becoming.

Through honest conversations about grief, career transitions, self-worth, motherhood, business, money, support & taking courageous next steps, these women reveal how breakthroughs happen in everyday life, sometimes long before we recognize them.

Discover how to challenge limiting beliefs, move through resistance with compassion, build self-trust & recognize the power of choosing differently.

Release resistance. Rise higher. Reclaim your power.

What if the resistance you're feeling isn't telling you to stop... but asking you to pay attention?

In this first solo episode of October's BREAKTHROUGH theme, we're exploring what happens before the breakthrough: the truth you finally admit, the resistance you get curious about & the weight you're ready to put down.

We'll unpack the difference between discomfort & misalignment, why resistance can be protective, & how telling yourself the truth can become the beginning of real change.

Because breakthrough doesn't always arrive as one giant, life-changing moment. Sometimes it begins quietly with the realization:

I don't have to keep doing it this way.

If you've been overthinking, waiting until you're ready or feeling stuck between who you've been & who you're becoming, this conversation is for you.

Release resistance. Rise higher. Reclaim your power.

What changes when you stop waiting to feel ready & start trusting yourself now?

In Part 2 of Muse Desi's story, we explore vulnerability, body confidence, relationships, accountability, self-awareness & the personal power that comes from knowing who you are. Desi reflects on seeing herself differently through her Muse photos, learning to pause instead of react, releasing the need for everyone to agree with her & recognizing that confidence isn't about becoming someone new. It's about finally owning what's already within you.

From “what if?” to “why not?”, this is an honest conversation about choosing growth, allowing yourself to be seen & becoming fully alive.

What happens when you stop hiding who you are & start trusting the woman who has been there all along?

In Part 1 of Muse Desi's story, we explore healing after an unhealthy relationship, reclaiming your voice, navigating anxiety & self-trust, faith, body confidence, authenticity & the courage to stop living according to other people's perceptions. Desi shares how she moved from feeling silenced to owning her identity, embracing growth & becoming more confident in being fully herself.

This is an honest conversation about healing, personal growth, confidence & what can happen when you give yourself permission to be seen, heard & known.Email Becky at [email protected] to share how this episode has supported you!

In Ep. 169 of the Choose On Purpose Podcast, we're stepping into September's theme of EXPANSION & exploring what it really takes to stretch beyond what you thought was possible.

I walk you through the E.X.P.A.N.D. framework as an invitation to look at where your current identity, habits & beliefs may need to stretch to hold the vision you're creating.

Because expansion isn't simply MORE.

More work. More responsibility. More pressure. More things to carry.

It's becoming the woman who has the capacity to receive more, collaborate more deeply, lead more courageously & allow herself to be supported along the way.

& I want you to listen with this question in mind:

Where are you asking for expansion while still insisting you have to do it alone?

👁️ If that question hit somewhere, don't just scroll past it.

🎧 Go listen to Ep. 169 now: EXPAND: What Becomes Possible When You Give Your Vision More Room

Then ask yourself:

What am I ready to expand into next?

Your bigger vision isn't asking you to prove how much you can carry.

It's asking you to become capable of holding more of what you actually desire. ✨

Ready for your next level?

Learn how self-trust, community, collaboration, & intentional support help you expand beyond old limits & grow into your bigger vision.
