Don't Shrink to Fit: Empowering and inspiring women one story at a time.

Have you ever found yourself trying to fix things for the people you love? Whether it’s your child, partner, or friend, we want to help. We want to make things easier. But what if, instead of helping, we’re actually holding them back?

In this week’s episode of the Award winning Don't Shrink to Fit Podcast, I’m diving into a tough but necessary conversation: the difference between helping and enabling.

For years, I thought I was supporting my daughters by stepping in, solving problems, and shielding them from struggle. But I’ve realized that sometimes, the more we try to rescue someone, the more they sink. 

The hardest part? Accepting that people will only change when they decide to, not when we want them to.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of someone else’s struggles on your shoulders, this episode is for you. 

In this episode I share:

How my own experiences as a parent and partner showed me the cost of enabling
Why people resist change (even when they know they need it)
How to offer real support without creating dependency
A powerful mindset shift that will free both you and your loved ones

What if your emotions were the key to unlocking messages from Spirit?

When life feels frightening or uncertain… what if the answers are already within you?

On this episode of the award-winning Don't Shrink to Fit podcast, I sit down with the brilliant Sherianna Boyle, author of 11 books, including the Emotional Detox series, Energy in Action, and her latest, Just Ask Spirit. Sherianna shares how our emotions and Spirit, working together, provide infinite resources for healing, clarity, love, and purpose.

We dive deep into the connection between emotions and spirituality, how fear blocks us from receiving divine wisdom, and why when we are truly connected to light, ego dissolves. Sherianna also reveals how she receives downloads from Spirit and how you, too, can develop your intuitive gifts by learning to trust and surrender.

One of the most powerful insights from our conversation is that our afterthoughts—those moments of reflection—are opportunities to deepen our awareness and realign with our highest self. When we pause to observe our reactions and emotions, we create space for wisdom, healing, and transformation.

She reminds us that taking care of ourselves is a spiritual practice, not a luxury. Just like putting on your oxygen mask first, prioritizing your well-being allows you to stay in high vibration and aligned with the guidance meant for you.

Have you ever felt guilty for taking time for yourself or prioritizing your own well-being? That’s about to change!

Welcome to Don’t Shrink to Fit – the winner of the 2024 Women in Podcasting Award in the Coaching category!

On this episode of my award-winning podcast, Don't Shrink to Fit, I’m thrilled to welcome Liz Clifton, who is here to share powerful insights on how to give ourselves permission to pause, embrace self-love, and practice self-care without guilt.

Why is important to pause? 

✨ Pausing allows us to reconnect with what truly matters—our health, our happiness, and our inner peace.
✨ Pausing gives us clarity to make better decisions, rather than operating on autopilot.
✨ Pausing helps prevent burnout and reminds us that rest is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Taking a step back isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s an act of strength and self-respect. When we give ourselves permission to pause, we restore our energy, find balance, and show up more fully in every area of our lives.

This episode is your personal invitation to pause, breathe, and reclaim your well-being. You don’t want to miss it!

About my guest: Liz’s mission is to empower at least 3 million individuals—of any species—to cultivate clarity, calm, confidence, and authentic communication, allowing them to be fully themselves with anyone, anywhere, at any time. She also encourages at least three minutes of daily self-care joy, reminding us that taking time for ourselves isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

Liz is an internationally certified mindset, self-care, and communication coach whose work has helped countless people step into their power, peace, and presence. Through her unique approach, she teaches us how to release guilt, reconnect with ourselves, and create space for the care we truly deserve.

This episode is your personal invitation to pause, breathe, and reclaim your well-being. You don’t want to miss it!

She then retrained adding extra skills to her vast resources, experiences and collected wisdom which she now uses to inspire and motivate others (of all species) to ease their own life journeys to calm and recently delivered her first TEDx talk entitled Green Means Calm all about how to ensure everyone has access to the mental health benefits of green spaces wherever they are. 

She offers lots of complimentary calming resources to get you started from as little as 3 seconds a day, along with bespoke and group Calm Holistic Life Coaching for you and your animals, Calm Leadership Mentoring, Calm Club Membership with Liz Clifton, Inspirational Workshops and Speaking, Reiki and Animal Reiki Sessions and Training of all levels.

🎙️ Welcome to Don’t Shrink to Fit – the winner of the 2024 Women in Podcasting Award in the Coaching category!

In this episode I’m joined by an extraordinary mother-daughter duo, Ariel and Theresa, who turned unimaginable pain into a powerful mission to impact and empower others. After experiencing the devastating loss of their brother and son to suicide, Ariel and Theresa found themselves lost in grief, struggling to survive. Instead of staying in the darkness, they embarked on a healing journey that led to the creation of Impact and Empower Inc.—a safe space dedicated to helping women heal emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically.

Ariel and Theresa share their story of resilience, transformation, and purpose. Through their programs, they help women break free from limiting beliefs, overcome the mother wound, and release the guilt of not living up to societal or familial expectations. We dive deep into the patterns that hold us back, the power of creating a supportive community, and how embracing our authentic selves can lead to true healing and joy.

This heartfelt conversation is a testament to the strength of women, the importance of leaning on support systems, and the power of turning pain into purpose. If you’re ready to take the first step in your own healing journey, this episode is for you.

Tune in, be inspired, and discover how you can start breaking free and stepping into your light today.

🎙️ Welcome to Don’t Shrink to Fit – the winner of the 2024 Women in Podcasting Award in the Coaching category!

This week, I’m thrilled to share with you a very special guest on Don't Shrink to Fit: Debra Hillard, an extraordinary artist and energy worker who considers herself a modern-day shaman. At 70 years old, Debra has embraced her authentic self, creating unique pieces of art that are so much more than what meets the eye—they are medicine for the soul.

Debra’s paintings are born from a deep spiritual journey and a connection to ancient, mystical powers. Her work is an invocation—a summoning of energy and magic that brings healing, inspiration, and a sense of wholeness to those who experience it. She describes her art as “medicine I offer the world”—a beautiful reminder of how creativity can be a powerful force for transformation.

Her path to self-discovery began 30 years ago with her first shamanic ceremony, where she connected with alternative medicine and began to understand her gift. From that moment, she realized who she truly was, shedding the expectations others placed on her and stepping fully into her power. Today, Debra feels free, authentic, and whole—a vibrant example of how it’s never too late to embrace who we are and live life on our terms.

In this week’s episode, we explore:
✨ How Debra channels energy into her highly textural, hands-on paintings.
✨ The journey of self-discovery and finding freedom at any stage of life.
✨ The connection between creativity, energy, and healing.
✨ The beauty of embracing the wholeness of being human—physical, emotional, and spiritual.

Debra’s story is an inspiring reminder that we all have the power to heal, create, and live authentically. Her art isn’t just something to look at—it’s something to feel. It’s a flicker of magic in a world that often forgets how magical it can be.

I invite you to listen to this deeply inspiring conversation and let it open your heart to the power of energy, creativity, and self-expression.

🎙️ Welcome to Don’t Shrink to Fit – the winner of the 2024 Women in Podcasting Award in the Coaching category!

In this powerful episode, I have a very raw and informative conversation with Cassandra Love Lambert, a trauma-trained somatic transformational coach and author, to discuss the raw and often misunderstood journey of healing from childhood trauma. Cassandra shares her deeply personal story of overcoming childhood abuse, exploring the complexities of emotions tied to trauma, such as the confusion survivors may feel when seeking comfort from an abuser despite knowing their actions are harmful.

Together we delve into the psychological and physical impact of unprocessed trauma, shedding light on how these suppressed emotions can manifest in the body as illness or chronic pain. Cassandra explains how rewiring the nervous system, releasing shame, and shifting from a victim mentality to empowerment can create transformative growth.

This episode also covers:

• How boundaries, connection to a higher power, and goal alignment play a vital role in the healing process.
• The importance of breaking the silence around child abuse and addressing the culture of secrecy that abusers often manipulate.
• How parents can empower their children to recognize "good" and "bad" secrets, with resources like Claudia’s book Secrets Don’t Include Moms.

Note: This episode contains discussions about sensitive topics, including sexual abuse, and is not suitable for children.

If you or someone you know has experienced trauma, this episode offers a message of hope and the reminder that healing is always possible. Tune in to discover how to navigate the path toward empowerment, peace, and freedom.

Please go to https://cassandralovelambert.com/ to learn more about Cassandra and to get in the waiting list for her upcoming book "Into the light"

🎙️ Welcome to Don’t Shrink to Fit – the winner of the 2024 Women in Podcasting Award in the Coaching category!

This week  we’re diving into one of my favorite topics—parenting! I’m joined by the amazing Shridhevi Veerappan, a special educator, behavior analyst, and parenting coach, who shares her wealth of experience and empathy on the challenges parents face when kids don’t behave the way we expect.

As a mom herself—and an immigrant from India who transitioned from architecture to supporting families—Shridhevi brings invaluable insights to this conversation. Together, we discuss:

How to Get Your Child to Listen Without Tears: Practical and compassionate strategies to foster cooperation.
Flexible Thinking: The power of shifting how we interact with thoughts and feelings for a more fulfilling parenting journey.
Value-Based vs. Goal-Based Frameworks: Understanding the difference and transforming your parenting approach.
Discipline, Boundaries, and Healthy Relationships: Building trust and setting boundaries to strengthen connections with your child.

Whether you’re navigating the ups and downs of parenting, raising kids on the spectrum, or supporting children with unique needs, this episode is filled with powerful insights to inspire and empower you.

Key Takeaway:
As Shridhevi reminds us, embracing discomfort and taking small, intentional steps each day can lead to profound growth, for both you and your child.

These are some topics we discuss today: 

1. How to get your child to listen without tears
2. Flexible thinking: How changing your interactions with thoughts and feelings can lead to a more fulfilling life

Don’t miss this heartfelt and relatable conversation, it’s one that every parent will benefit from!

About my guest: She is also an author and podcaster (beingyoullc.podbean.com),  who celebrate courageous women who have overcome obstacles and are continually pursuing their passions. 

Last year, she opened my private practice, where she works with neurodivergent and neurotypical children and support parents. In the past two years, she has launched her practice, written a book, and started a podcast. I am now focusing on helping parents, especially professional moms, fulfill their dreams.

What keeps her going is embracing the discomfort of rejection and frustrations, and focusing on making small, incremental steps every day

Welcome to Don’t Shrink to Fit – Winner of the 2024 Women in Podcasting Award in the Coaching Category! 🎙️

Hi, everyone! I’m Claudia Noriega-Bernstein, your host. I’m an abundance coach, an author, and—above all—a mom.

As I mentioned December is a special month for me—it’s my birthday month! 🎂 To celebrate, I’ve lined up incredible guests who, like me, are moms dedicated to empowering other moms to find balance, overcome emotional guilt, and create the lives they truly love.

This week, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Julie Bennett, Co-Founder of Lemonade Standers™. Julie and her sister created a groundbreaking program that teaches 6 to 12-year-olds financial skills through hands-on experiences like running their own kid businesses. From lemonade stands to slime sales, these small ventures teach kids not only about money but also about problem-solving, creativity, and persistence.

In our episode, Julie and I dive into a limiting belief many parents hold: that they need to have their finances in perfect order before teaching their kids about money. But here’s the truth—kids are already learning money mindsets and patterns from us, whether we mean for them to or not. So why not be intentional and teach by design instead of by default?

“As a mother, there’s nothing I want more than to set my kids up to reach their potential,” Julie says. Helping kids make their first sale—whether it’s a lemonade stand, homemade cards, or a car wash—doesn’t just teach them about earning money. It builds their confidence, problem-solving skills, and creativity, setting them up for a lifetime of success.

Julie brings her wealth of experience as an entrepreneur, corporate strategist, and mom of three to this conversation. Her passion for helping kids learn financial literacy in a fun and engaging way is truly inspiring, and I know you’ll love what she has to share.

The best place to connect with Julie is in her Lemonade Standers Skool Community at https://www.skool.com/lemonadestanders/about or visit our website at www.lemonadestanders.org
