UR Journey of Becoming . . . . . Truth. Freedom . . . . . Bet On Me

What happens when you stop dimming your light to make everyone else comfortable?

You finally get to see how bright you actually are.

In this episode of UR Journey of Becoming, I sit down with Karey Harris, speaker, educator, leadership coach, and host of the Wheat Fields, Wisdom & Whiskey podcast, for a conversation about what it really means to bet on yourself when life has already taken so much.

Eight years ago Karey's world shifted completely.

She lost her mom. Her marriage ended. Both of her children flew the nest within the same season.

And instead of collapsing under the weight of all of it . . . . . she chose to become a warrior instead of a victim.

What came out of that season was a philosophy built on three pillars.

Wheat fields . . . . . your roots and your story.Wisdom . . . . . your inner guidance and your honesty.Whiskey . . . . . your truth and your celebration.

This conversation goes deep on what it means to stop operating on autopilot, tune into your inner knowing, and finally stop saying yes when every cell in your body is screaming no.

We talk about the crown. Not the perfect polished version. The one with scars underneath it. The one you earn by choosing yourself over and over again even when it is hard and inconvenient and terrifying.

In this conversation we explore:

• What it means to tune into your inner knowing and actually trust it
• How women lose themselves by being everything to everyone
• Why speaking your truth requires letting go of familiar things
• The power of keeping promises to yourself
• Facing truth, acting on it, and celebrating the progress
• Why you should stop waiting for perfect conditions to step into your life
• The crown . . . . . wearing your scars as proof of what you survived

This episode is for the woman who:

• Has been saying yes when she means no for way too long
• Operates on autopilot and has forgotten what she actually wants
• Is waiting for the right moment to finally start betting on herself
• Needs permission to stop dimming her light so others feel comfortable

You are not too late.

You are not too broken.

And you are absolutely worth betting on.

UR Journey of Becoming . . . . . Powerful. Transformational . . . . . The Near-Death Experience That Changed Everything

She spent 14 years having her soul chipped away.

And then one night, on a bathroom floor, she heard three words.

Love will come.

In this episode of UR Journey of Becoming, I sit down with Terrie Christine, internationally acclaimed Intuitive Energy Healer, author of The Secret Power of You endorsed by Don Miguel Ruiz, and a woman whose journey from childhood trauma to spiritual awakening is one of the most powerful stories I have ever had the privilege of witnessing live.

Terrie did not wake up one day and decide to become a healer.

She was dragged there.

Through a childhood that taught her to look outside herself for love. Through a 14-year toxic relationship that slowly dismantled who she was. Through a moment of such complete darkness that she heard a voice pull her back to life.

And through a grief she never saw coming . . . . . the mourning of a white picket fence life she had quietly been hoping for all along.

This conversation goes places I did not expect.

We talk about what it actually costs a woman to stay. What it takes to finally choose herself. How radical acceptance becomes the doorway to freedom. And why the version of you that needs to die is not your enemy . . . . . she is your invitation.

In this conversation we explore:

• Escaping a 14-year toxic relationship and choosing yourself
• How childhood wounds create the patterns we live as adults
• What radical acceptance actually looks like in real life
• Grieving the life you thought you were going to have
• How to get out of your head and into your healing
• Turning your natural gifts into your greatest purpose
• Why asking how and what will always serve you better than asking why

This episode is for the woman who:

• Has been slowly losing herself in a relationship she is afraid to leave
• Is grieving a version of her life that never actually came true
• Keeps thinking her way around her feelings instead of through them
• Needs permission to choose herself without calling it selfish

You are not broken.

You are being cracked open.

And there is a difference.

UR Journey of Becoming. What 50 Dates Taught Me About Myself, with Cindy Drummond

What do you do when the life you built turns out to be built on a lie?

Cindy Drummond found out at 47.

After nearly a decade with a partner who had been living a secret life . . . . . she packed up her two daughters, moved into her parents' basement, and made a decision that changed everything.

She was going to go on 50 dates in 52 weeks.

Not to find the one. Not to fill the silence. But because underneath the wreckage of a relationship she had spent years pretending was fine . . . . . she had a feeling that the person she most needed to find was herself.

She just didn't know it would take 53 dates to get there.

Cindy Drummond is the author of Reflections from the Dating Pool, a bold, heartfelt account of the year she chose herself. With humor, vulnerability, and hard-won insight, Cindy turned real-life dating into powerful reflections on courage, boundaries, resilience, and self-worth.

In this conversation she shares:

• What those 50 dates actually taught her (and why it had almost nothing to do with the men)
• The biggest lie she had been living: pretending everything was fine when something inside her always knew it wasn't
• What she discovered in the in-between moments, the quiet drive home after each date, the sitting with herself when there was no distraction left, and why that is where the real growing happened
• How she went from naive and judgmental to empathetic and open . . . . . one date at a time
• The difference between being alone and being lonely, and why she had to learn it the hard way
• The Good Girl Syndrome, losing her voice, and what it actually took to find it again
• A 30-year friendship that ended when she needed it most, and what grief like that teaches you
• Why sometimes you have to die to an old version of yourself before a truer one can come through

This episode is for the woman who:

🖤 Has been pretending everything is fine when something inside her knows it is not🖤 Has confused being alone with being lonely and is terrified of the quiet🖤 Has been so busy being good that she forgot to be honest🖤 Is sitting in her own ache right now and needs to know the hurting is actually the becoming

YOLO and Resilient.

That is how Cindy describes her journey of becoming.

And it took 53 dates . . . . . not 50 . . . . . to find out why.

UR Journey of Becoming . . . . . Yana Kasperczak . . . . . When the Guest Doesn't Show Up and the Universe Has Other Plans

What happens when you prepare to hold space for someone else's story . . . . . and life quietly says, not today?

This week I sat down alone.

No guest. No plan. Just me, a microphone, and the questions I ask every single woman who sits across from me on this show.

And I answered them myself.

This episode is my own Journey of Becoming.

The one I have been helping other women tell for months while quietly carrying my own.

I am Yana Kasperczak . . . . . founder of Empath Unicorn Academy, certified core energy and spiritual awakening coach, podcast host, mom, wife, and a woman who crossed a desert at 13, lost twin daughters at 22, survived depression and panic attacks, walked away from a dream job mid-panic attack, and built something real from the inside out.

This is the episode I did not plan to record, and the best things are unplanned.

Which is probably exactly why it needed to happen.

In this conversation I share:

• What my own journey of becoming actually looks like up close
• The pattern I keep catching myself in right before a breakthrough
• What loss, grief, and starting over taught me about identity
• Why I built Empath Unicorn Academy and what it has cost me
• The moment I knew I was meant for something more than staying safe
• What I am still becoming . . . . . and why I have stopped waiting to arrive

This episode is for the woman who:

• Has been showing up for everyone else while quietly putting herself last
• Wonders if the person helping everyone heal has done her own work
• Is in the middle of her own becoming and needs to know she is not alone
• Has a story worth telling but keeps waiting for the right moment to tell it

Your moment is now.

UR Journey of Becoming ..... Expansion and Wholeheartedness ..... What Death Taught Me About Living, Parenting and Presence

What if the greatest teacher in your life...was death?

In this episode of UR Journey of Becoming, I sit down with Yarona Boster ..... Advanced Certified Life Coach, TEDx speaker, parenting expert, communications coach, author, and host of The Evolution of Parenting Podcast.

For Yarona, the journey of becoming has never been about arriving.

It's about learning how to meet life with greater awareness, presence, and intention.

For years she lived in a state many of us know well:

Overthinking.Second-guessing.Reacting to circumstances.Questioning herself.

But over time, she discovered a different way.

A way rooted in awareness instead of reactivity.

Presence instead of pressure.

And surprisingly...

Death became one of her greatest teachers.

Not through fear.

But through perspective.

The understanding that life is finite has shaped how she parents, communicates, leads, and lives every day.

This is her journey of becoming Expansion and Wholeheartedness.

In this conversation we explore:

• What death teaches us about truly living• Moving from reactivity to responsive awareness• Parenting through connection instead of control• Creating emotional safety in relationships• Communication that builds trust and understanding• Presence, purpose, and intentional living• Finding meaning in life's hardest moments

This episode is for the woman who:

• Feels overwhelmed by the pace of life• Wants deeper connections with her children and loved ones• Struggles with overthinking and second-guessing herself

• Is seeking more presence and purpose in everyday life

Because life changes when you stop asking:

"What if someday?"

And start asking:

"What matters right now?"

UR Journey of Becoming ..... Choosing Slowness in a Fast-Paced World ..... From Burnout to Slow Motherhood and Aligned Living

What if the answer isn't doing more... but doing less?

In this episode of UR Journey of Becoming, I sit down with Émilie Avon-Green ..... therapist, mentor, slow motherhood guide, and host of Voice Notes from a Slow Life.

Like so many women, Émilie spent years proving her worth through achievement.

Working harder.Giving more.Pushing through exhaustion.

As a therapist working in mental health, she carried a heavy caseload and demanding schedule while slowly burning herself out.

Until her body finally forced her to stop.

What followed was six months of burnout recovery, a complete reevaluation of her life, and an unexpected gift:

Pregnancy.

As she healed, she realized something life-changing:

Success means nothing if it costs you yourself.

Years later, after returning to work and building a thriving private practice, she noticed the old patterns returning.

One evening she found herself missing her daughter's supper and bedtime routine.

That was the moment everything changed.

She handed in her resignation and chose a different path.

A slower path.

A more aligned path.

A life rooted in presence instead of pressure.

In this conversation we explore:

• Burnout recovery and healing• Slow motherhood and intentional living• Letting go of hustle culture• Redefining success as a woman and mother• Setting boundaries around work and life• Creating a life aligned with your values• Learning that rest is productive too

This episode is for the woman who:

• Feels overwhelmed and overstimulated• Is constantly rushing through life• Feels guilty resting• Wants more presence with her family• Is tired of measuring her worth by productivity

Because your greatest asset isn't your business.

It isn't your accomplishments.

It isn't your to-do list.

It's you.

UR Journey of Becoming ..... She Keeps Getting Back Up ..... Healing Self Worth, Subconscious Patterns and Learning to Trust Yourself

What if the version of you constantly trying to “fix” herself…

was never broken to begin with?

In this episode of UR Journey of Becoming, I sit down with Niomi Hurley ..... mindset and transformation coach, psychology and energy healing advocate, and host of the Catching the Octopus Podcast.

For years, Niomi was the woman who did everything “right.”

She chased success.Led teams.Checked the boxes.Held it all together on the outside.

But underneath?

She felt disconnected from herself.

Driven by achievement and responsibility, she slowly lost touch with her intuition, emotions, and inner truth.

Her story, She Keeps Getting Back Up, is about moving from autopilot and over-functioning into conscious, aligned living.

Everything changed when she discovered subconscious healing, hypnosis, inner child work, and energy healing.

That was the moment she realized:

She did not need to keep fixing herself.

She needed to finally start feeling herself.

This episode is a powerful conversation about self worth, healing old programming, and reconnecting with the woman underneath the conditioning.

In this conversation we explore:

• Over-functioning and losing yourself in achievement• Healing subconscious beliefs and old programming• Inner child healing and self worth• Hypnosis and transformational healing• Energy work, intuition, and alignment• Breaking free from people pleasing and proving• Learning to trust yourself fully

This episode is for the woman who:

• Feels disconnected despite outward success• Is exhausted from constantly striving• Struggles with self worth and self trust• Is ready to stop performing and start living authentically

Because healing is not about becoming someone else.

It is about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.

UR Journey of Becoming ..... Unbecoming and Becoming ..... Trusting the Whispers of Your Soul

What if the life you are trying so hard to hold onto…

is the very thing your soul is asking you to release?

In this episode of UR Journey of Becoming, I sit down with Konstantina Bellou, also known as Elena the Greek ..... energy healer, psychic medium, oracle, spiritual mentor, and newly published author.

Raised in a small town in Greece with no spiritual background, Elena followed what most would consider a “normal” path ..... studying information technology and building a conventional life.

But deep inside…

There was always a whisper.

A knowing.
A pull toward something bigger.
Something she could not explain.

Her story, Unbecoming, is about shedding the identities, expectations, fears, and conditioning that kept her disconnected from who she truly was.

Today, Elena helps others reconnect to their soul through energy healing, spiritual guidance, intuitive development, and transformational healing work.

This is her journey of becoming Unbecoming and Becoming ..... learning that sometimes your greatest transformation happens not by becoming someone new…

but by remembering who you already are.

In this conversation we explore:

• Spiritual awakening and trusting your intuition• Letting go of identities and expectations that no longer fit• Listening to the whispers of your soul• Fear of judgment and stepping into your gifts• Energy healing and soul alignment• Following your purpose even when it makes no logical sense

This episode is for the woman who:

• Feels pulled toward something she cannot explain• Keeps talking herself out of her intuition• Is craving deeper meaning and alignment• Is afraid to trust herself fully• Knows she is meant for something more

Because sometimes… the life you are searching for begins the moment you stop abandoning yourself.

UR Journey of Becoming ..... Magpie and Grounded ..... Breaking the Burnout Cycle Through Guilt-Free Self Care

What if burnout is not proof that you are failing…

but proof that the way you’ve been living is unsustainable?

In this episode of UR Journey of Becoming, I sit down with Karolina Ross ..... wellbeing coach, burnout survivor, and self-described “magpie in the psychology world” ..... who helps exhausted working mothers reconnect with their intuition and practice guilt-free self care.

For years, Karolina was the woman who held everything together.

She said yes.
Pushed through exhaustion.
Put everyone else first.
And quietly wore burnout like a badge of honor.

Until her body and mind finally said: Enough.

Her story, The Self-Care Rebellion: Breaking the Burnout Cycle, is a powerful reminder that self-sacrifice is not the same thing as self-worth.

Karolina shares how two major burnouts forced her to stop surviving and finally start listening to herself.

What she discovered changed everything.

Her boundaries.Her relationships.Her parenting.Her understanding of what it actually means to care for yourself.

This is her journey of becoming Magpie and Grounded ..... gathering wisdom from life, psychology, and lived experience to rebuild a life rooted in balance, intuition, and truth.

In this conversation we explore:

• Burnout recovery for women and mothers• Why women feel guilty prioritizing themselves• The hidden cost of people pleasing and over-giving• Reconnecting with your intuition and inner needs• Nervous system healing and sustainable wellbeing• Practicing self care without shame or guilt• Teaching the next generation a healthier way to live

This episode is for the woman who:

• Feels exhausted from carrying everything• Has normalized burnout and emotional depletion• Feels guilty resting or slowing down• Is ready to stop surviving and start living

Because self care is not selfish.

It is survival.
It is healing.
And it is how we break the cycle.

UR Journey of Becoming ..... Authenticity and Freedom ..... From Burnout, Bankruptcy and Breakdown to Alignment and Self Trust

What happens when the life you worked so hard to build… completely falls apart?

In this episode of UR Journey of Becoming, I sit down with Natasha Agha ..... Speech Language Pathologist turned Private Practice Strategist, Whole-Self Leadership Coach, creator of the ALIGN Method, and host of The F.E.A.R. Chronicles Podcast.

From the outside, Natasha looked successful.

But behind the scenes?

She was burned out.
Overwhelmed.
Disconnected from herself.
Trying to hold everything together while slowly falling apart.

Her business collapsed.
Her relationship ended.
She went financially bankrupt.

And in the middle of losing everything…

She realized she had no idea who she actually was beyond her titles, achievements, and responsibilities.

No hobbies.
No self-care.
No identity outside of performance.

Her journey of becoming Authenticity and Freedom began when everything she built crumbled and forced her inward.

What followed was a complete identity shift.

A true metamorphosis.

In this conversation we explore:

• Burnout and losing yourself in achievement• Identity beyond job titles and success• Rebuilding after bankruptcy and business failure• Self discovery and reinventing yourself• Learning to trust yourself again• Slowing down to create real alignment• Becoming the woman you truly desire to be

This episode is for the woman who:

• Feels burned out trying to “do it all”• Is questioning the life she built• Feels disconnected from herself outside of work or motherhood• Is craving freedom, alignment, and deeper purpose

Because sometimes your life falls apart…

so you can finally build one that actually belongs to you.
