  • Gratitude in the Toughest Times - Claudia Noriega-Bernstein

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

    Hi friends, and Happy Thanksgiving.

    Today, I want to talk about gratitude, not the kind that’s easy to find when everything is going well, but the kind you dig for when it feels like your world is crumbling.

    The past two years have been some of the most challenging of my life, and, honestly, gratitude often felt out of reach. But as I sit with everything I’ve experienced, I’ve come to see that this journey has been about more than just healing, it’s been about rediscovery, about letting go of who I thought I had to be, and finally stepping into who I truly am.

    For years, I ran from my emotions. I stored them away, locked in the trunk of a car that I refused to open. I told myself I could figure it out, that I was okay. But deep down, I wasn’t. And in the last two years, I made a different choice. I stopped pretending. I stopped running. I started seeking, seeking answers in my ancestors, in the wisdom they left behind, in the lessons I was too busy to see.

    I grieved the roles I thought were mine to play; the fixer, the caretaker, the person who had to hold it all together. For so long, I thought it was my job to make others happy, to carry their burdens. But the truth is, it never was. That was a role I adopted out of a need to feel useful, to feel worthy.

    And let me tell you, grieving that part of myself wasn’t easy. It hurt...physically, emotionally, somatically. My body bore the weight of it all as I processed years of stored pain. It made me sick at times, but it also made me whole.

    For the first time, I began to truly see the people in my life. I saw them for who they were, not who I hoped they’d be. And I began to release the weight of responsibilities that were never mine to carry.

    Even my vision for my career changed. What I thought was my purpose was only part of the story. I realized that I had to let those long-buried emotions out of the trunk and let them sit beside me. And when I did, my path shifted.

    Here’s the thing about gratitude: it doesn’t come easy when you’re hurting. It’s hard to see the light when you feel broken and disconnected. But what I’ve learned is that even in the hardest moments, gratitude isn’t about ignoring the pain—it’s about honoring it. It’s about seeing the lessons in the struggle and trusting that it’s all part of your journey.

    This past year, I’ve come to understand that life is like that final stage of birth. The part where the pain feels unbearable, but you hear those words: “Push. Breathe. You’re almost there.” And in the pushing, in the breathing, in the breaking, something new is born.

    I’ve spent so much of my life blaming circumstances, betrayals, and heartbreak for my pain. But these last two years, I took the longer road. I chose to look inward, to sit with the grief, to ask, “What is life trying to teach me?” And in the midst of that grieving—grieving the oneness I thought I needed, the identity I thought I had to hold—I began to understand gratitude in a way I never had before.

    Gratitude isn’t just about the obvious joys. It’s about showing up for the hard truths. It’s about embracing life as the bridge between who we are and who we’re meant to become.

    Yes, there have been setbacks; health challenges, heartbreaks... but I’m not in denial anymore. I’m listening to what my body and soul are teaching me. I’m learning what to let go of, what to hold close, and how to live fully, openly, and joyfully.

    Because this life? It’s all we get. And I’m not going to waste another moment pretending I’m anything less than enough.

    This Thanksgiving, I’m holding my six-year-old self close, reminding her—and reminding myself, that I am worthy, that I am whole, and that I am here to fulfill a purpose.

    I’m honoring my ancestors by embracing their lessons. I’m hono

  • The shift I did to change my life with Brittany Cates

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

    Today, I’m thrilled to introduce Brittany Cates, a former teacher who made a courageous shift into UX design. Like many, Brittany spent years searching for the right path, finding herself repeatedly drawn back to education. Through trial and error, she learned to trust herself, making the changes necessary for a more aligned career and a better work-life balance.

    In today’s conversation, Brittany and I dive into the importance of giving ourselves permission to change paths when our careers no longer bring us joy. We’ll explore how we don’t have to stay stuck – we get to redesign our lives, create a new vision, and take bold action to live in alignment. Brittany’s journey is a testament to the power of action over talk, and she’s here to share insights for anyone ready to find clarity and take that next step forward. Let’s jump in!”

    This intro emphasizes the themes of transformation, action, and the courage to pursue fulfilling work.


    About my guest: 
    Brittany Cates is a teacher turned UX designer. An artist at heart, Brittany knew that teaching wasn’t the right path for her early on in her career. This led her to explore more creative endeavors by attempting to leave the profession twice before finally identifying her dream career. 

    Through career coaching and mindset work, Brittany was able to transform her beliefs in order to pursue a job transition that once seemed near impossible. Now she is guiding women who are currently in a similar place that she once was by helping them reshape their limiting beliefs and sharing actionable steps to help them accomplish their goals.

    In her spare time, Brittany enjoys a good Netflix binge, hanging out with friends and loved ones and traveling.

    You can get more info and guidance at http://BrittanyCates.com/home and on Instagram @career.shift.brit. Also, listen or watch Brittany’s new podcast, “Shift Your Day Job”, everywhere you can stream podcasts.

  • A super mom moment, and the world we are leaving behind with Claudia noriega-Bernstein

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

    When someone recently asked about my vision, I realized it’s all about leaving behind a world with more kindness, less trauma, and deeper connections. As a mom, my contribution to that vision begins with raising daughters who understand the importance of every choice they make and how it can uplift others. At the heart of every relationship is authenticity and trust, and these are the values that have shaped the bond I share with my daughters—nurturing a connection that’s real and unbreakable.

    In this episode of Don’t Shrink to Fit, I’m sharing one of my most cherished memories. Years ago, I was honored as “Super Mom of the Year” in an international contest by Mi Mundo Magazine. But this wasn’t just any award; it was based on the love and words of my own children. Instead of an outside interviewer, my daughters took the reins, crafting questions and leading a raw, unscripted conversation one afternoon in Hollywood. We laughed, we reflected, and we shared pieces of our hearts that day.

    It’s a conversation full of warmth and memories, capturing the deep trust and authenticity we’ve built over the years. I hope listening to it reminds you of the beauty of those tender, honest moments we share with our loved ones. Tune in to this special episode of Don’t Shrink to Fit and celebrate the power of love, trust, and connection. 💖
