Quick question for you—have you ever felt like:

"I’m doing everything right… so why does it still feel like nothing’s working?"

You’ve been showing up. Taking action. Doing all the things.
And yet… that next level still feels just out of reach.

You start wondering:
“Is it me?”
“Am I missing something?”
“Do I need to change direction, push harder, or just let it go?”

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest misunderstood dynamics that keeps high-achieving women stuck, spinning, and second-guessing everything:

⚡️ The Gap Between Where You Are and Where You Want to Be

Most people experience this gap and think it’s a problem.
They either try to hustle their way out of it—or collapse under the pressure.
But what if the discomfort you’re feeling… is actually your launchpad?

This conversation is going to shift how you relate to tension, pressure, and the “in between.”

Because when you learn to hold the gap without defaulting to overwork, control, or self-doubt—you unlock a completely new way of growing, expanding, and receiving.

⚡️ Here’s what we’re diving into:

Why the “gap” between your now and your next level feels so tense

How your subconscious and nervous system are reacting (and how this keeps you looping old patterns)

The 3 most common ways ambitious women sabotage this stretch phase 

What to do instead—so you can expand into your next-level identity without burning out or spiraling into doubt

A real-life client story that proves this shift changes everything

This episode isn’t just about mindset—it’s about mastering your energy in the moments that matter most.

Quick question for you—have you ever caught yourself thinking:

"Why the hell am I working this hard? I feel like I’m doing everything right, but it’s never enough."

Maybe on paper, you’re checking all the boxes—crushing your goals, showing up, doing everything "right." But underneath, there’s still that nagging question…

*"What else do I need to do?"
"Why isn’t this working?"

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down one of the sneakiest patterns keeping you stuck, drained, and constantly chasing the next result: Proving Energy.

This isn’t just about mindset hacks or quick fixes—I’m pulling back the curtain on why all your hard work might still leave you feeling like it’s never enough… and how to shift out of proving, and into the magnetic energy that naturally attracts the right people, clients, and opportunities to you.

⚡️ Here’s what we’re diving into:

This conversation is here to shift something deeper in you—not just information, but real energetic expansion.

✨ Want to go deeper?
This episode mirrors exactly what we’re doing inside my upcoming 11-week live group program, From Force to Flow, kicking off April 22.

Now, hit play and let’s dive in. 🎧

High-achieving women know how to get things done. You’re taking action, following strategies, and putting in the work. But no matter how much effort you put in, there’s still that one thing that feels just out of reach—whether it’s more success, deeper love, or greater abundance. Sound familiar?

The truth is, you don’t need to do more. Your subconscious and energetic systems are blocking you from receiving what you truly desire.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the three biggest subconscious wounds that keep high-achieving women stuck in cycles of overworking, overgiving, and struggling to receive:

✔️ The ‘Prove Your Worth’ Wound – Feeling like love, success, and abundance must be earned through hard work and sacrifice.
✔️ The ‘Receiving is Weak’ Wound – Believing that self-sufficiency is strength and that asking for help makes you vulnerable.
✔️ The ‘Love Equals Sacrifice’ Wound – Associating love and success with struggle, making ease feel wrong or unsafe.

We’ll also cover how trapped emotional energy keeps you in patterns of proving, pushing, and blocking what you desire—and why your nervous system must feel safe before you can fully receive it all.

This is a must-listen if you’re ready to break free from the cycle of overworking and finally open yourself up to effortless receiving. Because when you align your mind, body, and energy, it really does get to be easy.

Ready to go deeper?
My new 3-month live group program is designed to help you rewire your subconscious, release trapped emotional energy, and expand your capacity to receive. No more chasing. No more settling.

You’re smart. You’re driven. You’ve done the work.

So why do you keep attracting people who manipulate, drain, and derail you?

The coaches who overpromise and underdeliver.
The business partners who take more than they give.
The relationships that leave you questioning everything.

It’s frustrating, right? 

Almost like some invisible force keeps pulling these toxic people into your life. Over and over again. 🧲

Well, here’s the truth…

You’re not attracting these people because you’re weak or naïve.

You’re attracting them because your energy is open to them.

Toxic people don’t just walk in waving red flags 🚩– they are masters of energetic manipulation.

(it’s the kind of charm that could sell sand in the desert)

They mimic the exact frequency that will draw you in. And if you don’t know how to protect your energy, they’ll slip through every single time.

But once you understand this, you can break the cycle (for good!).

That’s exactly what I’m diving into on this week’s episode of The Limitless Life Podcast.

We’re getting into:

👉 What energetic manipulation actually is (and why it’s so sneaky)
👉 How to recognize exactly what’s keeping you stuck in toxic cycles
👉 The shift you need to make to start attracting relationships that elevate you

If this is hitting home, it’s not a coincidence. It’s time to rewrite the pattern. 🎧

And if you want to go even deeper… where we clear the subconscious resistance and get you fully aligned with what you’re calling in, let's chat 1:1 Expansion Coaching.

This is where we do the real work to rewire your energy, so what you desire stops feeling like a fight and starts flowing to you.

Your next level is waiting. Are you ready to claim it?

Ever feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still not getting the results you want? 

You set the goals, do the mindset work, maybe even repeat a few affirmations in the mirror – but nothing shifts.

Here’s why…

👉 Your energy is out of alignment with what you say you want.

You might want more money, a thriving business, deeper love, or better health. 

But if, deep down, your nervous system associates those things with stress, failure, or disappointment? Your subconscious mind will block you from getting them.

This shows up in sneaky ways…

(just as sneaky as Skye, who somehow breaks out of her crate and eats all the cat food! 🐶)

Energetic misalignment can show up as: procrastination, overworking, undercharging, self-doubt, attracting the wrong people, or feeling stuck in a loop no matter how much action you take. 

It’s not that you aren’t working hard enough. It’s that the energy behind your actions is off!

In the latest episode of The Limitless Life Podcast, I break this all down – how energy misalignment keeps you stuck, the hidden beliefs running the show, and how to shift into more expansive energy… so you start seeing real results.

If you’re ready to stop feeling like you’re running in place, and start receiving what you actually desire, do not miss this episode!

And if you want to go even deeper… where we clear the subconscious resistance and get you fully aligned with what you’re calling in, check out my 1:1 Expansion Coaching.

This is where we do the real work to rewire your energy, so what you desire stops feeling like a fight and starts flowing to you.
