POP-UP EPISODE!! Have you ever failed at something only to discover that failure was exactly what you needed to succeed beyond what you thought possible?

After missing my qualifying time in my 50-mile race in April, I could have given up. Instead, I floated through summer while focusing on one specific weakness—running uphill—and found myself toeing the line at my first 100k ultramarathon.

What happened over those 62 miles and 10 loops taught me lessons that go far beyond running, lessons about pain, presence, and the power of staying exactly where you are even when everything hurts.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The mindset shift that transforms pain from a permanent state to a temporary teacher
• Why "staying here" in the present moment is the secret to pushing through the hardest parts of any challenge
• How my "failure" at 50 miles became the exact preparation I needed for this success
• The practice of being in the flow—neither rigid nor chaotic—that carried me through 62 miles
• What happened when I asked my mom for the time and realized I was achieving something I never thought possible

This isn't just a race recap—it's a story about how our biggest setbacks prepare us for our wildest successes, and how presence, not perfection, is what carries us across every finish line in life. Whether you're a runner, a yoga teacher, or anyone pursuing a meaningful goal, these lessons will change how you approach challenge, pain, and possibility.

Do you have big dreams for your wellness business, but find yourself hesitating before you take action? Thinking things like: What if this program doesn't fill? What if I try something new and it feels awkward? What if I put myself out there and it doesn't go as planned?

These "what if" scenarios keep you researching, planning, and perfecting instead of actually moving forward.

You're not lazy or uncommitted – you're just caught in the perfection mindset that says everything has to go right the first time, or it means you're not cut out for this. But what if there was a completely different way to think about challenges and mistakes?

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The two mindsets that determine whether challenges become roadblocks or rocket fuel for your growth
• How the problem-solving mindset transforms every obstacle into an opportunity to level up
• The exact process to shift from "Why is this happening to me?" to "How is this happening FOR me?"
• Four powerful questions that instantly activate your problem-solving brain
• Why your future self already has the answers you need (and how to access them)
• How to recognize when you're stuck in perfectionist paralysis and what to do about it

Stop letting imperfect outcomes convince you that you're not cut out for bigger things. Your challenges aren't evidence that you should quit – they're invitations to grow stronger, smarter, and discover your innate capability. When you learn to see every problem as solvable and every setback as setup for your comeback, you'll stop avoiding opportunities and start embracing them. Your breakthrough is waiting on the other side of that problem you're trying to avoid. Let's figure this out together! Hit play, and let's get started!

Picture this: You're standing in front of 40 business owners, your hands are shaking, your voice is trembling, and you're watching everyone's confused faces as you completely bomb your presentation. That was me 11 years ago – and it was the best thing that ever happened to my career. If you've ever put yourself out there in a bigger way and it didn't go as well as you'd hoped, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The exact moment my worst presentation became the catalyst for my entire speaking career
• Why your brain perceives uncomfortable situations as life-or-death (and how to override this response)
• The 5-step process to transform imperfect moments into massive growth opportunities
• How to shift from emotional avoidance to emotional processing when things go wrong
• Why putting yourself out there imperfectly serves you better than waiting for perfection
• The simple reframe that turns "this happened to me" into "this happened for me"
• How to chase discomfort instead of avoiding it (and why this accelerates your growth)
• Real strategies for having your own back when your inner critic goes into overdrive

Stop letting fear of imperfection keep you small. Your most cringe-worthy moments aren't signs to quit – they're invitations to level up. When you learn to see every "failure" as data and every uncomfortable feeling as your next area of growth, you'll stop avoiding opportunities and start embracing them. Your breakthrough is waiting on the other side of that thing you're afraid to do imperfectly.

What if your goals feel overwhelming not because they're too big, but because you're setting them for all the wrong reasons? Many of us approach goal-setting like a test to prove our worth. No wonder it triggers anxiety, self-doubt, heaviness, and fear of failure. There's a different way that actually energizes you – and it starts with flipping why you're setting goals in the first place.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why setting goals to prove your worth keeps you stuck in fear-based action
• How to affirm your worth BEFORE you set goals so you pursue them from wholeness, not desperation
• The difference between "proof-seeking" and "growth-seeking" goals and why it changes everything
• Why you actually achieve goals faster when you're not trying to validate yourself through them
• The simple reframe that stops goal-setting from triggering your imposter syndrome

Stop torturing yourself with goals that feel like burdens. When you set goals from a place of already knowing your worth, pursuing them becomes an act of self-love rather than self-improvement. You'll move faster, feel better, and actually enjoy the journey – which is exactly how goal-setting should feel.

You know exactly what your limiting beliefs are. You can name them, analyze them, and probably trace them back to their origins. But here's the frustrating truth: all that awareness hasn't actually freed you from them. You still feel the imposter syndrome creeping in before you teach that workshop. You still doubt yourself when pricing your services. You still people-please even though you know better. If you're tired of being stuck in the endless loop of self-awareness without real change, this episode is your roadmap out.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why intellectual understanding of your limiting beliefs actually keeps you trapped in them longer
• The critical difference between awareness and embodied release that most wellness professionals miss (because of our expertise)
• The specific technique to move limiting beliefs out of your nervous system, not just your mind
• How to recognize when you're stuck in "analysis paralysis" versus when you're making real progress
• The surprising reason why your limiting beliefs feel stronger after you become aware of them
• A simple daily practice that creates lasting transformation without requiring hours of inner work
• Why traditional "reframe your thoughts" approaches fall short for high-achieving wellness professionals
• How to trust the release process even when your logical mind wants to keep analyzing

Stop collecting insights about your patterns and start actually releasing them. Your clients, your business, and your peace of mind are waiting on the other side of this shift. It's time to move from knowing what's holding you back to finally letting it go – and this episode shows you exactly how to make that leap from awareness to authentic freedom.

Have you ever walked into your wellness space and immediately felt overwhelmed by everyone's emotions before you even started working? As an empath in the healing arts, your sensitivity is both your greatest gift and your biggest challenge. You can sense what your clients need, but you might also absorb their stress, anxiety, and pain—leaving you drained and depleted.

In this episode, I'm sharing how my experience as an empath transformed from being a burden that made me fatigued to becoming my greatest professional strength through one simple but powerful shift.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why shrinking your energy or building armor actually makes you more vulnerable to others' emotions

• The "expand your energy" technique that protects you while keeping you open to serve

• What energy really means and how to take responsibility for your own emotional experience

• How to stay grounded and centered even when holding space for multiple clients

Your empathy doesn't have to be something you manage or hide from—it can be the very thing that makes you an exceptional healer, teacher, and leader.

By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to honor your empathic gifts while protecting your own energy, so you can serve from a place of strength rather than depletion. Ready to transform your sensitivity from burden to superpower? Let's dive in.
