In this episode, Alicia speaks with wealth advisor, Colleen DiPaola, to explore what it really takes to pivot one's career with confidence and financial safety.  After 25 years in Corporate, Colleen chose to redefine success, and do the work she loves, by building her own book of business. While this pivot took incredible courage, it was grounded in planning, clarity, and the belief that a financial strategy creates freedom instead of fear.

Together, they unpack how to build a financial runway, manage uncertainty, and create a financial plan that supports you during times of change.  If you’ve ever wondered whether you could afford to make a shift, this episode offers both inspiration and practical guidance.

In this Episode, you'll discover: 

• How to redefine success as something that feeds your soul, as well as your bank account
• Recognizing the signs that indicate it's time for a career transition
• The power of planning and creating a flexible, action-oriented roadmap

• How to build a 9 to 12 month financial runway before making a pivot
• The power of scenario planning and “what if” thinking
• Practical steps for preparing financially: savings, budget, and micro-actions
• How to involve family in financial and lifestyle planning
• The importance of organization and breaking down big goals into manageable steps
• Reframing abundance to include valuing time, family, and meaningful experiences

Navigating Uncertainty & Living Unscripted with Sheila Eggert

What if uncertainty wasn’t something to fear, but an invitation to become more of who you truly are?

Alicia Dee sits down with transformational leadership coach & consultant, author, and TEDx speaker Sheila Eggert to explore living “unscripted,” beyond expectations and the roles we’ve been taught to play. Sheila shares her path of reinvention, leaving corporate life, navigating divorce and a breast cancer diagnosis, and following an inner knowing that led her to begin again. Together they discuss meeting challenges with curiosity instead of fear, and how transformation begins when we trust ourselves.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• Fear vs. intuition – Fear is loud and urgent; intuition is quiet and steady.
• Why familiar feels safe – Even when it no longer fits, the brain prefers what it knows.
• Curiosity as a doorway – Shift from “Why is this happening to me?” to “What am I meant to learn?”
• Nervous system support – Change begins with feeling safe enough to listen.
• Releasing old identities – Stepping out of scripts written by family, culture, and career.
• Healing and meaning – Choosing openness over resistance in life’s hardest moments.
• Small aligned steps – Transformation grows through consistent micro-choices.

Key Takeaways

•  You are not your thoughts, you are the observer who can choose them.
•  Real safety comes from authenticity, not control.
•  Challenges can become portals for growth when met with curiosity.
•  Rest and self-care are strategies for resilience and leadership.
•  The deeper question is not “What should I do?” but “Who am I becoming?”

Why does meaningful change feel so hard, even when we know we want it? 

In this episode, Alicia Dee explores one of the biggest reasons we stay stuck: the stories we tell ourselves. 

Alicia breaks down how our brains are naturally wired to protect us, how our old narratives can feel like facts, but rarely are the full story, and how to widen the lens so you can see new possibilities. You’ll learn a practical “balcony” technique to separate facts from the story you’re layering on top, and a powerful gratitude reframe Alicia calls catching life going right to shift your nervous system, your mindset, and your ability to move forward.

If you’re entering a new season and feeling the pull toward something different, this episode will help you shift your thinking and reconnect with what’s possible.

In This Episode, We Cover

• Why change can feel scary and why it’s often our "story", not reality, that keeps us stuck
• How our brains are wired toward negativity to protect us, and how that can keep us “small”
• The “camera lens” metaphor: what happens when you’re zoomed in too tightly on one belief. It may be time to widen the aperture to see a fuller picture of what's going on in your life.
• The Balcony Exercise: how to become a non-judgmental observer and separate facts from interpretation so you can gain perspective on your current state and open up possibilities
• A gratitude reframe that’s not performative: “catching life going right”
• How gratitude helps your nervous system shift from fight/flight/freeze into rest-and-digest and a feeling of safety
• Why intentions work better than resolutions - because aligning to a new identity is much more powerful than willpower
• Understand the part of your brain called the Reticular Activating System (RAS): how your brain filters what you notice based on what you focus on
• Reflection questions to help you release an old story and choose a new one to align to the changes you want to make in your life and career.

Reflection Questions (from the episode)

1. What story have I been telling myself about my life and/or career that I’m ready to release?
2. What part of that story is actually true - what are the facts? vs my story?
3. What do I want to believe instead? What new story am I ready to align with?

When Success Stops Feeling Good - The Story Behind ThriveWorthy

In the first episode of the ThriveWorthy Podcast, Alicia Dee shares the unfiltered story behind why she created ThriveWorthy, and how she followed a path she hadn't planned on, but ultimately couldn’t ignore.

After more than two decades as a senior HR executive, Alicia reached what she believed was the pinnacle of her career. The title. The impact. The paycheck. From the outside, it looked like she had made it. But on the inside, something felt deeply off.

In this episode, Alicia talks about the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of misalignment  - the anxiety, nervous system overload, and quiet loss of self - and how meditation, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation didn’t just help her cope; they helped her hear the truth she had been avoiding.

Listeners will hear about:

• What burnout and misalignment actually feel like in the body
• Why success that feeds the ego can still drain the soul
• How intuition speaks, often as a whisper before it becomes "loud"
• The moment Alicia realized something had to change
• And why leaving corporate wasn’t about having a perfect plan, but about trusting herself

Alicia also shares two reflection questions that changed everything for her — and that can help listeners reconnect with what "thriving" truly means in their own lives and careers.

This episode is for anyone who has done everything “right,” yet feels the pull toward something more aligned, more authentic, and more true.

The ThriveWorthy Podcast is about coming home to yourself.  And it starts here.
