Perhaps, you resonate with our guest today, Clarissa Castillo Ramsey who is a self-proclaimed "Serial Pivoter". The reason for this because, you see, she was constantly living her life seeking the approval of others rather than doing what made HER happy.
As the daughter of Philippino immigrants, she was always striving for the approval of her parents...until in 2018 she looked around and thought to herself "What the fuck am I doing?" It was then she started what she's called her "multi-year pivot". It began with her book called "Painting Your Path™" that she published in 2020. In this book she interviewed women who had successfully started living life on THEIR terms and used their stories as an inspirational case study for how she could live the life she always dreamed of as an entrepreneur.
THAT was the catalyst for deciding that it was time she become her own boss after dreaming about it for years and holding herself back. During this time, she created the 5-step Paint Your Path framework that she now uses with her clients to help THEM live a life they love.
Dive into this episode with us as we explore how Clarissa made the leap from a high-powered corporate career to successful entrepreneurship.

Tell me if this story resonates with you...Boy meets girl, girl puts boy on pedestal, boy and girl have ___ kids (fill in the blank), girl makes herself the lowest priority, girl loses herself and her power, girl hits crisis point...
This was us! Hell, we STILL have mama guilt any time we do something for ourselves and our kids are independent now! It's like there's this feeling as though you're doing something WRONG if you go on a date, spend time with friends or do something for yourself. If this sounds familiar that doesn't have to be the end of the story. Our guest today Tanya Maree Biddle puts a stop to this age old narrative and instead (in her own words) grew a set of balls, learned to ask for what she needs, fought against internal and external resistance and has now become a coach to help other women this her position!
Tanya Maree now holds space for women everywhere as a coach and mentor to working mums while they rediscover who they are as their growing children no longer need or want them around anymore and supports them to create the next season of their lives.Tanya is an avid planner and organiser and mentors her clients through a process of planning their personal development so they can create habits, rituals and routines that will move them to action.
She is an Accountability & Self Empowerment Mumma Coach (#mouthfull) and is a professionally trained coach for working mums with teenage kids. She specialises in holding space for these beautiful Mummas while they rediscover themselves and supports them to LIVE life on their own terms.

Let me share with you some pretty astounding statistics about our topic today. This causes 81% of people to feel a loss of personal power after this experience. 94% deal with painful triggers. 71% have low energy. 47% have weight changes. 84%...Have an inability to trust. 67% Prevent themselves from becoming involved in deep relationships.
Today we're here to discuss the topic of betrayal and its IMPACT. Betrayal is a trauma unlike any other because betrayal happens when those you are closest to and trust the most BREAK that trust...it becomes so personal and is, therefore, extremely difficult to heal from and can cause a tremendous feeling of loss and sense of self.
The reality is that trust CANNOT be repaired...it can only be REBUILT. Our guest today, Dr. Debi Silber, is the founder of The PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute and is a holistic psychologist, a health, mindset and personal development expert, and 2-time #1 International Bestselling Author of "Trust Again", "The Unshakable Woman: 4 Steps to Rebuilding Your Body, Mind and Life After a Life Crisis" AND "From Hardened to Healed: The Effortless Path to Release Resistance, Get Unstuck, and Create a Life You Love". and her podcast "From Betrayal to Breakthrough" is also globally ranked.
Dr. Debi has completed a PhD on how we experience betrayal and has made 3 groundbreaking discoveries that change how long it takes to heal. We'll share these discoveries with you in our podcast today.
In addition to being on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show, TEDx (twice) and more, she’s an award-winning speaker and coach dedicated to helping people move past their betrayals as well as any other blocks preventing them from the health, work, relationships, confidence, and happiness they want most.

Perhaps, you know by now that I've struggled my whole life with the feeling that I'm not worthy of love. So, I'm sure it is no surprise to our listener that I fell into a toxic relationship. I stayed in that relationship for 16 years until one day I realized I had spent so much time being accommodating my spouse's needs to avoid an argument that I'd lost myself and didn't know who I was or what made me happy anymore. The loving relationship I thought I was in, was a facade.
I know that I'm not alone. So many women find themselves in my shoes, being manipulated into believing they are in a loving relationship, while slowly losing themselves without even realizing it. Our guest, Lucy Price, helps us to identify the characteristics of a toxic or narcissistic relationship so we can come to our own truths and find a new path forward.
But, this episode isn't only about the toxic relationships we find ourselves in, it's about reclaiming your power and finding yourself afterwards. When I walked away from my relationship with my ex, I realized I had a LOT of work to do to reclaim my relationship with MYSELF. I didn't know who I was, what I liked or where to start.
Lucy supports women in moving on from toxic or narcissistic relationships so that they can heal, fall madly in love with themselves, and create the love and life they desire. she specializes in mindset, emotional intelligence, and relationship building skills. She talks about how to shift the story you are telling yourself about you and your life, how to become aware of subconscious beliefs, the 7 layers of why, and micro-mindset changes that lead to big results.

So a few years ago a woman in my neighborhood sent out an invite for a little happy hour at her house...with a twist. She had gotten very interested in a self-discovery tool called the Enneagram (prounounced any-a-gram) and sent a link for us to all take an assessment to find our "type"...then we all discussed our types, fears and motivations over a glass of wine. That was my first exposure to this tool.
Today's guest, Chelsie Engle, has a coaching business centered around this powerful tool and today, she helps us understand ourselves a little more deeply and identity our core fears and motivations through the lens of the Enneagram.
After years of infertility struggles, pregnancy loss, and fertility treatments Chelsie finally became a mama only to find herself in a state of postpartum depression and anxiety, and feeling lost and stuck as a new mom and working in a toxic and difficult environment. She needed help, which is when she found a therapist that was trained in the Enneagram.
Chelsie now works one-one with clients helping them determine their enneagram type (in a Typing Session) and helps them explore a life on their terms using her 1-1 elite life coaching experience.
This tool can be used to gain greater insights to who we are as individuals, create a life that is in alignment with our core motivations and desires, recognize the healthy and unhealthy behaviors in ourselves and others and help strengthen our personal and romantic relationships through empathy and understanding of the fears and motivations of those who we are closest to.
Today, Chelsie teaches us:

We know many of you out there have a dirty little secret. Raise your hand if, like me, you are a people pleaser! Girl, today we stop and explore the 'why'? The answer to this question is something we've been contemplating. WHY is it that women (specifically) fall into patterns of people pleasing? Are we so desperate to have people like us that we're willing to sacrifice ourselves in the process? There are so many answers to this question...perhaps, it's societal conditioning that causes women to put everyone else's needs before our own...perhaps, it's just part of who we are as individuals...maybe we LIKE doing things for others. Maybe it's just because we're suckers.
We're kidding of course! But, know you're not alone and today's guest, Suzanne Culberg, will be able to provide some refreshing guidance and reassurance! Suzanne calls herself a "nope coach" and is a coach and author who helps "over-givers" and people pleasers learn to set boundaries and say "no" in a way that feel good.
Suzanne is a certified practitioner of Neurolinguistic programming (NLP), holds a bachelor of medical science, and has a variety of other certificates that she leverages to help women stop over-giving, over-consuming, and overdoing everything. Her mission is to help women set boundaries for themselves and make boundaries NORMAL...we simply should be saying NO more often.

And girl...If you ARE a people pleaser, make Shelby and me happy by sharing this podcast with a friend and leaving us a review. :)
Have you heard of the Vagus, girl? Perhaps, you're thinking...I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you...bearing in mind the rule "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas". But, we're not talking about Las Vegas....today, we're talking about our Vagus Nerve. Despite popular belief the Vagus Nerve isn't the nerve we lose or our even our last nerve, it is a cranial nerve that interfaces with the parasympathetic control of the heart, lungs and digestive tract. They should change the phrase to "What happens in the Vagus stays in your body" because when chronic stress and trauma happen over an extended period of time it can show up in our bodies as anxiety, depression, gut disorders, autoimmune conditions and chronic pain. To our listener out there...THIS is very well what may have you feeling STUCK!
In this episode, we totally get schooled by our guest Jessica Maguire. After all the amazing things Jessica teaches us in this episode that we DIDN'T know, we're starting to wonder how in the hell we ever passed biology!
Jessica Maguire has a degree in Health Science and a Masters in Physiotherapy and has spent over 14 years helping people improve the health of their brain and body. She specializes in helping her patients get to the root cause of their issues rather than just relying on others to resolve their symptoms. She does this by providing a framework within which her clients can understand the different responses of the nervous system and better engage with it rather than being overwhelmed by emotions and physical sensations...
