Everyone assumes that if you have a million followers, you're rich. But what's the actual number hitting your bank account every month? In this episode, Brittany Lane gets brutally honest with viral meme creator Brittany Paige about the real money behind being an influencer — and the answers might genuinely surprise you.

Brittany Paige breaks down exactly what Instagram paid her as she grew, why she still hasn't quit her day job, and why she's terrified to rely on it full time. They also get into TikTok's shifting pay structure, why creators in Canada get almost nothing from Instagram, and what it actually feels like to know the tap could turn off at any moment.

But this episode isn't just about money. It's about the fear that stops women from even starting — and the mindset shift that changes everything. Brittany Paige shares what she'd tell her pre-viral self, why your niche doesn't have to look like anyone else's, and the unglamorous, hilarious reality of creating content in your car at midnight with a three-week-old Chick-fil-A cup as a prop.

If you've ever wondered whether the influencer life is actually worth it — or whether you're already too late to start — this episode will reset how you think about it.

In this conversation, a meme creator shares her path to 1M+ Instagram followers, describing slow early growth (hitting 100K after about a year and a half), a quick jump to 200K, and a long plateau around 200–250K where posts sometimes caused follower drops. She explains a major surge from late 2023 into mid-2024 when her meme videos repeatedly “blew up,” alongside shifts from TikTok to Instagram, followed by slower growth as more people posted similar memes and views became harder to reach. They discuss how algorithm changes create waves, why she focuses on posting what feels authentic and funny rather than “hacks,” and how obsessing over analytics can become addictive. They also cover audience reactions to showing more of herself, the support of friends and family, confidence gained from persisting, social media’s role in reducing isolation (especially in motherhood and grief), celebrity reposts like Cardi B, and a closing note promoting a free resource and coaching.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking:
“What’s the point?”
“Why even try?”
“Why do I always stop before I really begin?”

Day 11 of The Innergize Effect addresses the belief that quietly shuts down dreams before they ever have a chance to grow:
“If I try, I’ll just disappoint myself. I’ll never be enough anyway.”

This episode explores why procrastination isn’t laziness, it’s protection. When your nervous system learns that hope leads to disappointment, trying feels unsafe. Dreaming big feels risky. And staying stuck can feel safer than risking failure.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why “what’s the point” is a trauma response, not the truth

• How fear of disappointment fuels procrastination and self-abandonment

• The connection between self-doubt and why even try thinking

• How to overcome procrastination by rebuilding self-trust

• How to overcome fear without forcing motivation

• What success actually means when you stop measuring yourself by outcomes

• How to dream big again without shutting yourself down

• How to be a better version of myself without self-judgment

• How to feel more satisfied by honoring your effort, not just results

This is a powerful episode for anyone navigating burnout, inconsistency, or the quiet fear that trying will only lead to disappointment, especially for women unlearning survival patterns and stepping into women’s empowerment through self-trust.

You’re not lazy.
You’re not behind.
You’re not incapable.

You learned that it was safer to expect nothing than to want something and lose it again. This episode invites you to stop quitting on yourself and start honoring your dreams, one brave choice at a time.

✨ Tomorrow, we close the reset by stepping fully into your power and bringing everything together.

Listen now and take the first step, not to prove anything, but to honor yourself.

If you’ve ever asked yourself,
“Why am I like this?”
“I feel like something is wrong with me.”
“Why do I feel different than everyone else?”
this episode is for you.

Day 10 of the New Year Limiting Beliefs Reset explores one of the most painful and deeply rooted beliefs many people carry:
“I’m broken. Something is wrong with me. I’ll never feel understood.”

This belief doesn’t always show up as sadness. Often, it shows up as overthinking, overexplaining, emotional shutdown, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or constantly trying to fix yourself. When you believe something is wrong with you, it stops feeling safe to be fully seen, and you start editing who you are to belong.

In this episode of The Innergize Effect, we explore:

• Why the belief “something is wrong with me” feels so real

• How early experiences of rejection or misunderstanding shape identity

• Why you may feel alone even when surrounded by people

• The emotional roots of overperforming, masking, and self-abandonment

• Why asking “why am I like this?” is a trauma response, not a truth

You’ll learn why you were never broken, you were patterned. Your sensitivity, depth, and emotional awareness aren’t flaws; they’re signals of intelligence and intuition that were never properly mirrored or supported.

If you’ve spent your life feeling too much and not enough at the same time, this episode offers relief, clarity, and permission to stop fixing what was never broken.

✨ Tomorrow: Day 11 explores the belief that causes procrastination and quitting before the breakthrough,“If I try, I’ll just disappoint myself.”

Listen now if you’re ready to release shame and finally understand yourself with compassion.

Day 9 of the New Year Limiting Beliefs Reset dives into one of the deepest subconscious money blocks:the belief that money equals survival, struggle, and pain.If thinking about making more money, charging more, or receiving abundance causes tension, fear, or guilt in your body, this episode explains why and how to begin rewiring it.In this episode of The Innergize Effect, we explore how early experiences with scarcity, financial stress, and emotional pressure train the nervous system to associate money with danger instead of safety. This belief doesn’t just impact your finances; it affects your self-worth, confidence, relationships, and ability to receive.You’ll learn:- Why money can feel unsafe even when you consciously want abundance- How childhood scarcity creates money shame, restriction, and self-sabotage- The trauma patterns behind overspending, freezing, or hyper-controlling finances- How to reframe money as support, safety, and expansion, not survival- Why wanting ease, beauty, and luxury doesn’t make you selfish or unspiritualThis episode is especially powerful if you:- Feel guilt for wanting more- Were taught that struggle equals virtue- Associate abundance with fear, disconnection, or loss- Want to heal your relationship with money at a nervous-system levelMoney is not a threat. It’s not a measure of your worth.It’s neutral energy and you are already a safe place for it to land.✨ Day 10 goes even deeper into the belief “I’m broken; something is wrong with me.”If you’ve ever felt unseen or like you don’t belong anywhere, that episode will name what you’ve been carrying.

Have you ever felt guilty for wanting more?

In this episode of The Innergize Effect, we unpack the deeply ingrained belief that wanting more is selfish and why so many millennial women downplay their dreams, silence their desires, and settle for less than what they actually want.

Many of us were taught that ambition is greed, desire is ungrateful, and dreaming big makes us selfish, prideful, or disconnected from others. Over time, this belief turns into guilt around success, money, beauty, pleasure, and expansion especially for women raised with messages around self-sacrifice, humility, or “being grateful for what you have.”

This episode is for you if:

• You feel guilty wanting more money, success, or ease

• You downplay your dreams to avoid judgment

• You struggle with desire, ambition, or craving more from life

• You were taught that wanting more is ungrateful or selfish

• You feel stuck, resentful, or disconnected from what you truly want

• You want abundance but fear losing love or belonging

We explore how early childhood moments, family dynamics, religion, and cultural conditioning wire the nervous system to associate desire with shame, and why this belief keeps women stuck in survival instead of expansion.

✨ In this episode, we talk about:

• Why wanting more feels selfish or wrong

• Guilt around ambition, success, and luxury

• Fear of outgrowing people or being judged

• Religious and spiritual shame around desire

• Settling, shrinking, and silencing dreams

• Reframing desire as sacred, intuitive, and safe

• How to want more without guilt or apology

This conversation is about reclaiming desire, not as greed, but as guidance. Wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful. It means you’re listening to yourself.

You were not born just to survive.
You were born to thrive.
And it is safe to want more.

Do you feel anxious when you’re not being productive?
Do you tie your worth to how much you help, give, or hold together for others?

In Day 7 of The Innergize Effect, we unpack the limiting belief:
re

This belief turns love into something you have to earn through productivity, people-pleasing, and overgiving — and it’s one of the deepest drivers of burnout, exhaustion, and guilt around rest, especially for women.

This episode is for you if you:

• Feel guilty resting or slowing down

• Tie your self-worth to productivity or usefulness

• Struggle with people-pleasing and overgiving

• Feel anxious when you’re not needed

• Burn out but don’t know how to stop

• Believe you only matter when you’re helping or providing value

We explore how this belief forms early — often through family dynamics, religion, or conditional praise — and how it becomes nervous system programming, not a mindset flaw. You’ll hear how productivity becomes a survival strategy, why receiving feels unsafe, and why rest can trigger anxiety instead of relief.

✨ In this episode, we cover:

• “If I’m not useful, I’m not lovable” and where it comes from

• Productivity trauma and burnout cycles

• People-pleasing as a nervous system response

• Why rest feels unsafe (not lazy)

• Overgiving, emotional labor, and resentment

• Healing worth beyond productivity

• Nervous system healing and inner-child repair

This conversation is especially relevant for women navigating motherhood, work, caregiving, entrepreneurship, and emotional labor, who feel stuck in doing mode and disconnected from rest, presence, and self-worth.

You are not here to earn love by exhausting yourself.
Your presence is enough — even when you stop producing.
