This Daring Adventure

In this episode of This Daring Adventure, I share a powerful coaching session that reveals the real reason so many women feel stuck — in their relationships, careers, and lives.

When you believe thoughts like “He’s needy,” “My boss is oppressive,” or “It’s hard to make friends as an adult,” it feels like you’re just stating facts. But these thoughts aren’t neutral — they’re creating your emotional experience.

Through the story of one client who thought her relationship and career were falling apart, Trista shows how our brains quietly turn interpretations into “truths,” and how this keeps us disconnected and dissatisfied.

You’ll learn:

• Why the way you think about someone is your real relationship with them.
• How to separate facts from stories and stop fighting reality.
• Why scarcity thinking makes you overwork, overdrink, and overreact.
• How to shift your thoughts to instantly change how you feel — without changing anyone else.

If you’re ready to stop believing that life has to change before you can feel better, this episode will show you exactly where your power lies — in your mind.

• The “needy boyfriend” model and how thoughts create distance
• Why your brain mistakes opinions for facts
• Rewriting your story about relationships, work, and friends
• Moving from scarcity to abundance in your thinking
• The secret to changing your life without changing your circumstances

If this episode hits home, and you’re ready to see how your thoughts are shaping your life, book a free one-hour coaching session with Trista.

You’ll bring one area of your life — your relationship, your job, or that feeling of being stuck — and she’ll show you exactly how to change it from the inside out.

When your child is struggling — whether it’s a learning disorder, emotional challenge, or just the daily ups and downs of growing up — every part of you wants to protect them.

You want to make it better.

You want to make sure they never think there’s something wrong with them.

But what if trying to protect them from pain actually makes it harder for them to grow?

In this episode, I share a powerful real-life coaching session with a mom whose seven-year-old was recently diagnosed with specific learning disorders in reading, writing, and math. I show you how shifting from controlling your child’s thoughts to teaching them how to think builds lifelong confidence, self-trust, and resilience.

If you’ve ever tried to “fix” how your child feels or worried about what they’ll believe about themselves, this episode will help you see a better way forward.

• Why trying to protect your child from their feelings can actually make things worse
• How to teach emotional literacy and thought awareness to kids
• The difference between changing a thought for your child vs. showing them how to work with their own thoughts
• How your own fears and beliefs shape how you respond to your child’s challenges
• The most powerful shift a parent can make: from “Something has gone wrong” to “Nothing has gone wrong — this is their path”

In this episode of This Daring Adventure, Master Life Coach Trista Guetin unpacks a real coaching conversation that reveals the surprising truth about anger — it’s rarely about the situation in front of you.

When one client felt furious after her cousin made burial decisions without consulting her, what seemed like a family dispute turned out to be something much deeper — unprocessed grief, regret, and a need for emotional closure.

Trista walks you through what’s really happening when you get triggered, why unresolved emotions resurface years later, and how to process anger in a way that brings peace instead of resentment.

This episode is an invitation to stop letting your emotions run your life — and start understanding them instead.

You’ll learn:

• Why anger often hides deeper emotions like regret or powerlessness
• How to tell when your reaction is about now vs. the past
• The difference between surface-level problem solving and true emotional growth
• The self-coaching shift that turns emotional reactivity into calm power
• How to use this same process to heal old wounds and stop recreating painful patterns

If you’ve ever been mad about something and later realized it wasn’t really about that thing — this episode will help you see exactly why.

Six months is long enough to change your life — but not if you only focus on action and willpower.

Real transformation happens when you combine the outer work (consistent habits, focus, routines) with the inner work (shifting your thoughts, stories, and identity).

In this episode of This Daring Adventure, I share how to create momentum in your life by aligning your mindset with your actions — so you don’t keep spinning in circles or falling back into old patterns.

This is the first episode in our Inside-Out Reinvention mini-series, designed for women who feel stuck but know they’re meant for more.

You’ll learn:

• Why six months is enough to see radical transformation
• How your thoughts create your feelings, which drive your actions (and results)
• A practical exercise to shift the story you’re telling yourself right now
• What happens if you keep focusing only on the “outer work”
• How to create a simple plan that actually sticks

If you’re ready to reinvent yourself — from the inside out — this episode will show you how to start today.

Do you ever feel like the only time you truly get to relax or indulge is when you’re eating, drinking, or sneaking in a little escape?

Maybe the rest of your life feels heavy, full of obligations—work, family, the house, all the responsibilities.

If you’ve ever thought: “I don’t feel free unless I step away from it all”—this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about what true freedom actually is and how to create it from the inside out.

You’ll learn why chasing freedom through food, wine, scrolling, or vacations never lasts, and how to start generating freedom in your daily life—even when you’re doing the dishes, managing your calendar, or taking care of everyone else.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why you feel stuck in obligation and how your thoughts are creating that feeling.
• The surprising truth about freedom (hint: it’s a feeling, not a circumstance).
• What happens if you don’t solve for this and keep outsourcing freedom to food or other escapes.
• Four powerful steps you can take today to create freedom on purpose.

When you understand that freedom comes from your mind—not your circumstances—you stop waiting for life to feel easier and start creating the life you want right now.

If you’re ready to stop celebrating food more than your own life and start experiencing real freedom in how you think, feel, and show up for yourself, this episode will show you how.

Do you ever find yourself stuck in indecision, afraid to make the “wrong” choice because you don’t want to regret it later?

Or maybe you spend too much time replaying past decisions, wishing you’d chosen differently.

In this episode of This Daring Adventure, I’m talking about regret—what it really is, why it keeps you stuck, and how to live without it.

Regret doesn’t come from your decisions.

It comes from the thoughts you have after those decisions.

And the good news is—you can learn to let regret go and start building unshakable self-trust instead.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why indulging in regret robs you of your present and your future.
• How regret fuels avoidance and destroys self-trust.
• The mindset shift that allows you to stop second-guessing yourself.
• A simple way to reframe every decision so you never waste time in regret again.
• Practical steps to build confidence in your decision-making and have your own back.

Key Takeaways:

• There is no such thing as a “wrong” decision—only the meaning you give it.
• Regret is an indulgent emotion that keeps you stuck in the past.
• You can commit to never regretting your choices and focus on creating the best outcome no matter what.
• Building a better relationship with yourself means learning to trust your decisions and stop second-guessing.

Action Steps for Listeners:

1. Before making your next decision—big or small—say out loud: “I commit to not regretting this.”
2. Notice regret when it shows up, and remind yourself: “This is optional. I don’t have to go there.”
3. Journal one way you can make your last decision great, no matter what it was.
