Rejection sucks—but what if it wasn’t actually you being rejected?

This week on The Gutsy Podcast, I’m joined by powerhouse speaker and coach Tanesha Moody to talk about one of the most important mindset shifts entrepreneurs and leaders can make: detaching your self-worth from the outcomes you’re chasing.

We dig into:

• Why high-achievers often take rejection personally (and how to stop)
• How to reframe "failure" into valuable feedback
• The difference between YOU and your offer—and why it matters
• How to bounce back with resilience and clarity when things don’t go as planned

If you’ve ever spiraled after a "no" or questioned whether you’re cut out for what you're building, this is your permission slip to stop internalizing rejection and start refining your path forward.

You know that moment when you're "functioning"—but just barely? You’re showing up, doing the work, tending to others… but under the surface, you’re depleted.

In this Powerback® episode, I’m walking you through one of the clearest visual signals that you’ve hit your energetic edge. I share a recent moment when this hit me like a brick wall and how I used this awareness as a tool instead of spiraling.

You’ll learn how to spot when your body is screaming for relief, what to do in that moment, and how you can start rebuilding your energy—without waiting for a breakdown to force your hand.

In this episode:

• A personal story that may feel eerily familiar
  
  
• How to know when you're functioning from burnout instead of alignment
  
  
• Why numbing out or powering through doesn't help—and what actually does
  
  
• How your body visually shows you when it’s reached its edge
  
  
• A simple, powerful question to bring you back to your center

✨ Want to unpack where your energy is going and realign your next move?

What does it really mean to be a leader—and how do you embody it when you're overwhelmed, burned out, or doubting yourself?

This week on The Gutsy Podcast, I sat down with powerhouse leader and faith-based mentor Shadae Paul, who drops pure gold on how to rise in your leadership—especially when the external titles don’t match the internal feeling.

We talk about:

• The difference between leading and performing
  
  
• Why your presence matters more than your perfection
  
  
• Faith-based leadership and how to hear the whisper that guides your next step
  
  
• Navigating burnout, imposter syndrome, and finding power in your voice
  
  
• How to step into leadership from where you are right now

Whether you're leading a business, a team, or just yourself through a season of growth—this conversation will remind you of the quiet power you already hold.

You’ve made some moves—but maybe they didn’t feel big enough.

In this Powerback® episode, I’m flipping the script on the myth that small = insignificant. I’ll walk you through the real ripple effects of the moves we tend to dismiss—like finishing a nagging project, making a phone call, or clearing your damn email inbox—and why they matter more than we give them credit for.

You’ll hear inspiring stories from women inside The Gutsy Collective’s Wrap It Up Challenge who reclaimed their energy, creativity, and momentum through seemingly “small” shifts that sparked big results. Whether you’ve been doubting your progress, stuck in comparison, or just need a reminder that your effort is enough—this one’s for you.

In this episode, I share:

• Why women often downplay the impact of their own progress
  
  
• The real cost of lingering, unfinished projects
  
  
• How one phone call saved someone’s life—and why that’s not a “small” move
  
  
• Stories from the Wrap It Up Challenge that will light a fire in you
  
  
• A simple question to ask yourself when you start comparing

Ask yourself this: What did this move give you back?

When you shift from comparison to impact, you’ll start to recognize the power in what you’ve already done—and reclaim the energy to keep going.

Ready to make your next gutsy move—with support and momentum behind you?

Inside The Gutsy Collective, you’ll find coaching, community, and clarity to help you take action on the bold move you can’t stop thinking about.

I sat down with money coach Nicole Stanley, and we dove deep into a powerful conversation about debt, financial freedom, and why it’s often not about how much you earn—it’s about what you believe you’re allowed to have.

Nicole shared:

• The biggest mindset shifts that helped her and her clients become debt-free
  
  
• Practical, no-fluff budgeting strategies that don’t require giving up everything you love
  
  
• How to create financial safety and still enjoy your life

What if one whisper from your intuition could change your entire life?

In this Powerback® episode, I share the full-circle story of a moment in an airport when I knew—deep in my body—that I would one day work with a specific Fortune 500 company.

Years later, that intuitive moment came to fruition—but not because I chased or forced it. It happened because I stayed true to my path, trusted what I knew to be right, and chose alignment over people-pleasing… even when it would’ve been easier to follow the rules.

This episode is about the bold decision I made behind the scenes that led to one of the biggest partnerships of my career—and the quiet inner guidance that made it possible.

It’s a reminder that your intuition isn’t random. It’s strategic. And you can trust it more than you think.

In this episode, I share:

• The exact moment I knew a major opportunity would unfold
  
  
• The bold move I made that created the opening
  
  
• How to trust your inner voice, even when you doubt it
  
  
• Why self-trust is often the most magnetic force in your life and business

Do you find yourself so focused on productivity and results that your wellness constantly gets pushed to the bottom of your list?

This episode is your reminder that sustainable success is built on a regulated nervous system, nourishment, and habits that support—not sabotage—your energy.

In this episode:

• The link between gut health, stress, and performance

• Rethinking self-care beyond bubble baths and green juice

We often underestimate the power of the small steps—the quiet nudges, the inner shifts, the tiny yeses we say to ourselves. But those small moves? They’re where momentum really begins. In this episode, I invite you to stop dismissing the quiet changes you’re making just because they don’t look dramatic from the outside. You’ll learn why subtle progress is still real progress, how to recognize what’s already shifting within you, and how those “minor” moves actually open the door to bolder action.

If you've been discounting your growth because it doesn't feel big enough, this is your reminder to pause, acknowledge, and honor where you are. There is power in your process—even if no one else sees it yet.

In this episode, I share:

• Why small internal shifts often lead to the biggest life changes
  
  
• How to stop discrediting your progress just because it doesn’t look loud
  
  
• Ways to anchor into your growth so it doesn't get swept under
  
  
• A permission slip to stop waiting for external validation

If you’re sitting on the edge of a bold move and can feel the shift coming—but your brain won’t stop overthinking it—this is your sign to stop spinning and get clear.

Let’s talk it out and create the clarity you need to move forward (not in circles).

You want clarity, momentum, or change—but you keep finding yourself stuck in the same patterns.

Why? Because growth doesn’t live inside your comfort zone. It lives just outside of it.

In this episode, I walk you through how to actually stretch yourself in ways that are doable, meaningful, and energizing—even if you’re not someone who thrives on chaos or pressure.
You don’t have to blow up your life to make bold moves. But you do have to be willing to challenge your edges.

I’ll share:

• What to do when the desire to grow is strong, but your fear is louder
  
  
• Sneaky ways you might be self-sabotaging your progress
  
  
• How to stop waiting to “feel ready” before you go after what you want
  
  
• Practical mindset shifts that help you move into action—without panic

If you’ve been craving a breakthrough, this episode is your gutsy permission slip to finally make the move.

You already know it’s time for something to change.
You're clear enough—or at least curious enough—to want more for yourself.

Let’s get you moving..

Book a free 30-minute Clarity Session with me and we’ll identify what you really want, what’s in your way, and what gutsy move will get you there.
