Friendships: The Good, The Tough & The Transformational. Friendships are some of the most powerful mirrors we have in life. They show us who we are… who we're becoming… and sometimes, who we've outgrown. Some friendships lift you. Some challenge you. Some break your heart open. And some shape you into who you were always meant to become. On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're diving deep into the relationships that define our lives; the ones worth fighting for, the ones that grow with us, and the ones we may need to release with love. This episode's questions: ✨How do you nurture the friendships that matter? ✨How do you protect your peace? ✨How do you know when it's time to walk away? Whether you're celebrating the friends who lift you higher, navigating a tough moment, or bravely letting go, remember this: you deserve relationships that honor your growth, your heart, and your truth. Join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium, for this heart-opening conversation because your friendships deserve honesty… and so do you. 💛

We all have stories we tell ourselves, stories about who we are, what we deserve, and what's possible for us. Some of these stories empower us, but others keep us small, holding us back from the life we're capable of living.

On our episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're diving deep into the lies we tell ourselves; the fears, beliefs, and inherited narratives that shape how we see ourselves.

Many of these beliefs don't come from truth but from conditioning, past experiences, trauma, and the internal voice that whispers, "You're not enough."

The greatest prison we will ever live in is the story we never challenge.

This episode explores: – How self-deception forms – Why the brain prefers familiar limits over uncomfortable truth – The emotional cost of living in a small identity – How to rewrite the story into one that reflects who we're becoming

We don't just face obstacles in life, often, we carry them within us. The lies we tell ourselves can convince us we're not ready, not worthy, not capable, or not meant for more.

But what if those thoughts aren't truth?

Join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium, as we break down how limiting beliefs are formed, why the mind clings to old narratives, and how to rewrite your story with power, honesty, and possibility

Do you know that wanting more isn't selfish, but it's sacred?

Society has taught us to play small. To be "grateful" for what we have, not ask for too much, and tone down our ambitions so we don't make others uncomfortable.

We've been conditioned to downplay our dreams, to confuse humility with limitation, and to see desire as greed. But what if wanting more is actually your soul asking for growth?

Your desire isn't greed; it's guidance toward the life you're meant to live.

On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're exploring why guilt often shows up when we dream bigger, how cultural and emotional conditioning can make us feel undeserving, and how mindset work helps us reclaim our right to want, to grow, and to thrive.

You don't need permission to want more, but sometimes, you have to give that permission to yourself.

Today, I, Coach Elix, and my co-host (and husband), Steven the Medium, are talking about how to break free from guilt, stop playing small, and reclaim your desires boldly and unapologetically.

Because you're not here to settle, but you're here to expand.

Remember: you don't need permission to shine; you just need the courage to say yes to yourself.

✨ What do you secretly want—but haven't dared to claim?

And more importantly; what are you going to do about it?

Do you know that the holidays are supposed to be joyful and cheerful, but too often, they become stressful?

The holidays are meant to bring warmth, connection, and joy, but for many of us, they bring pressure, exhaustion, and overwhelm instead.

Between endless to-do lists, family expectations, and the pressure to make everything perfect, we often lose sight of what the season is really about: connection, peace, and presence.

In this episode, Coach Elix and Steven dive into the neuroscience of holiday stress, why our brains go into overdrive, and how small mindset shifts and healthy boundaries can bring back balance and calm.

On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're talking about how to find peace in the chaos, release perfectionism, and create your own version of holiday joy.

Because the holidays aren't meant to be survived—they're meant to be lived.

Today, we're exploring how to stress less, laugh more, and feel truly present this season.

🧠 We'll uncover why holiday stress happens, how to set healthy boundaries, and simple ways to protect your peace and energy.

What's one thing that usually stresses you out during the holidays—and how are you choosing to handle it differently this year?

Grief isn't always about death. Sometimes it's about the dreams we outgrew, the relationships that changed, the expectations that never became reality, or the versions of ourselves we've had to let go of.

Grief is love that has nowhere to go—and healing begins the moment we allow ourselves to feel it.

On this episode, my co-host and husband, Steven the Medium, and I explore the invisible losses—and the power of honoring what we've quietly carried for too long.

💔 What loss have you carried quietly for too long?

We all grieve things no one else sees—dreams that didn't happen, people who changed, and parts of ourselves we've left behind.

Listen in as we talk about the grief we don't talk about.

What happens when the person who hurt you never says "I'm sorry"?

Do you hold on… or do you let go for your own peace?

We're talking about something every single one of us has struggled with at some point — forgiveness without an apology.

You know those moments when someone hurt you — and never owned it, never said "I'm sorry" — yet you're still carrying the weight?

Today, we're unpacking what it means to truly forgive, even when the other person never makes it right.

Because forgiveness isn't about them — it's about you: your peace, your healing, and your freedom.

This week on our episode, we open up about the power of releasing anger, resentment, and the need for closure — and how forgiveness is not for them; it's for you.

You deserve peace, not pain.

You deserve freedom, not resentment.

You deserve to move forward — even if they never said "sorry."

The question is:-

Who are you still waiting on to make things right?

Today, I invite you to release one thing, one person, or one story that's still weighing you down — and choose peace instead.

Trust is what makes us feel safe, connected, and willing to take risks with others. But it's also fragile—it can take years to build and only moments to break.

In this episode, we're exploring the neuroscience of trust—what's happening in the brain when trust is present, and what shuts it down. We'll talk about how to build—or rebuild—trust in both your personal and professional life.

Here's what we'll explore: 🧠 The neuroscience of trust 🗣️ Conversational Intelligence® ⚖️ Why trust matters more than control

Who in your life do you want to trust more deeply—and what's one action you can take to start?

Remember this: trust isn't about control—it's about connection. It's built in the small, consistent actions we take every day.

Who in your life do you want to trust more deeply—and what's one action you can take to start?

On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're exploring how to navigate grief, endings, and the courage it takes to love again.

Love after loss is never simple. It takes: ✨ Courage to grieve ✨ Courage to stay open ✨ Courage to reimagine what love can look like after endings

Here's what we'll dive into: 🌟 Emotional courage after heartbreak 🌟 Staying open while healing 🌟 Honoring the past while embracing the future

Remember—honoring the past doesn't mean you can't embrace the future. Your heart has the capacity to heal, to expand, and to love again… sometimes even more deeply than before.

Our question is, if your heart could speak honestly right now, what would it say?

Our latest episode is all about building something meaningful—whether it's a career, a business, or a personal dream, it all starts with courage, resilience, and an unshakable belief in your own worth.

From overcoming pain and breaking free from labels to embracing rejection as part of the journey, Natalie Banks—bestselling and award-winning novelist—is living proof that personal breakthroughs pave the way for professional success.

And perhaps most importantly, she'll show us that the most powerful stories we can tell are the ones that come from our most authentic selves.

From this episode, we'll learn from this powerhouse in storytelling and personal transformation:

💡 Building a brand from zero that's deeply personal 💡 Overcoming labels & pain to reach the next level 💡 Why rejection doesn't define your worth 💡 Sneak peek at her next romantic thriller & Letters Never Sent

Are You Living or Performing?

This week's episode is one that will hit close to home for many of us.

The question we're asking is simple, but powerful—are you living, or are you performing?

Too often, we get caught up in living for approval—saying the right things, doing what's expected, fitting into a mold—while slowly losing touch with who we really are.

We're digging into the difference between living authentically and living for validation.

What part of your life feels like a performance? And more importantly—what would your life look like if you stopped performing and started being fully YOU?

On Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're getting radically honest about a question that can change your life:

✨ Are you living authentically, or are you performing for approval?

✨ What part of your life feels like a performance?

✨ Where are you hiding who you really are to "fit in"?

Let this episode be your permission slip to drop the mask and be YOU!
