About the host: 

Hi, friend! My name is Pamela Hughes and I’m a former talk show host turned life coach. After 20 years in the news business, I walked away from what people thought I should do and I did what I wanted to do … coach people who are stuck like I was and help them find relief, awareness and control within themselves.

This was no easy task and I’m not here telling you it was. I had to take full responsibility for where my life was and then decide where I wanted it to go. It was time to stop complaining about my situation and do something about it. I had to stop looking for others to validate me and start having my own back. This required looking inside myself for the answers instead of looking outside of me.

I told you it wasn’t easy … but I wouldn’t change one thing about my journey because it led me right here to you reading about it, maybe identifying with aspects of it and hopefully being inspired to get UNSTUCK.

You clean up your kitchen, your car and your desk but when was the last time your cleaned up your thinking? Your brain gets just as cluttered as your closet but most of us don't take the time to tidy it up. 

When I clean my closet I take a look at what I like, what I need and what I want to keep.  I get rid of the stuff that is no longer my style, no longer fits or doesn't make me feel good.  In this episode I'll explain how cleaning up your thinking is just as easy as cleaning your closet.

For nearly two decades of her life, Pamela Hughes had a microphone in front of her face. After graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in broadcast journalism, she started her news career with a brief stint in western Wisconsin before making her way back to the Grand Canyon State. In Phoenix, Pamela quickly climbed the newsroom ladder and started teaching the next generation of journalists at ASU. She knows what it’s like to chase the big story as a journalist, inform an audience as an anchor, and oversee an entire operation as a news director. She spent the final six years of her news career as the only female talk show host in Phoenix and just one of a few women who held that prestigious position in the country.

While Pamela loved connecting with her audience and bringing them the big stories of the day, the grind and negativity of the news cycle took its toll on her mentally and emotionally. In an effort to help navigate the growing emotional demands of her high profile career, her desire to be an exceptional mom and a great wife, Pamela hired a Life Coach. That one decision completely changed her life.

Pamela’s coach helped her discover the hidden power of thoughts. In Life Coaching, she learned to manage her mind and was amazed at how all areas of her life went from surviving to thriving. With this new knowledge, Pamela decided to walk away from a career she spent nearly 20 years building to become a Life Coach.

Now, instead of reporting the news of the day, she coaches professional women who feel stuck. Women who appear to have everything….a successful career, a great family and who enjoy “the good life” yet still feel unfulfilled. Women who pretend to be confident and put together on the outside but have a lot of self-doubt and uncertainty on the inside.

Pamela’s proven life coaching program helps  women gain more confidence, learn to manage their mind and emotions while reaching their goals and dreams so that they can create a life they love.

Chances are you've heard of 'processing an emotion' but maybe you have no idea how to do it.  UNTIL TODAY.  

Uncomfortable/negative emotions are part of life but if you don't deal with them (process them) they're going to stick around.   Most of us have never been taught the importance of feeling our feelings or how to actually do it.  

In this podcast you're going to learn 

#1 Why feelings are important.

#2 Why resisting or reacting to an emotion doesn't work.

#3 How to allow and process an emotion. 

You can't calm the storm. You can only calm yourself and wait for the storm to pass.

In this episode I'm diving into the big difference between 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 and 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.  

We can all use a little more self confidence these days and I want to help you get that by taking one small action.  This small task can have a H̳U̳G̳E̳ impact on how you view yourself, relate to yourself and see what is possible for your future.  

It's time to bust out the credit card!  No, this isn't about buying stuff.  It's about taking credit for stuff.  The stuff you do in your life that you don't acknowledge or take credit for.  𝗟𝗘𝗧'𝗦 𝗚𝗢!!!!

Have you ever wanted someone to do something for you and were disappointed because they didn't?  Have you ever wanted someone to say something or respond to you in a specific way and got upset when they didn't?  If so, you may have a script for that person. 

In this podcast I'll clearly define what is a script, the problems with them, some of the common scripts we write and how to flip the script and drop it.

Her coach helped her discover the hidden power of thoughts.  She started to manage her mind and was amazed at how that transformed her life.  Pamela decided to quit telling people what was wrong in the world and started to help people discover what was right within their own world.

Now, Pamela  helps people take back their power to create the life they once envisioned for themselves. Her primary focus is on creating an awareness of how you're thinking so you can create the results you want. Whether you're are stuck in life or their career, she can help you finally take the action you've been putting off.

We're all adults but so often we look for permission to do the things we want and to be the person we want to be.  It's time for you to clarify what you stand for and what's important in your life.  When you do that, you create the freedom to show up as yourself and an understanding of why you react the way you do.  

There is so much power that rests in defining your values and priorities.  When you know what you stand for and what's important to you, it makes it easier to say 'yes' to what you want and 'no' to what you don't. 

This podcast will help you discover how your lives would be different if you aligned it with your values and priorities.

Hiking a mountain is a great metaphor for achieving a goal or overcoming an obstacle in life.  They all take a little planning.  It's important to pace yourself.  You get where you want to go by putting one foot in front of the other.  

Whether you're hiking, going after a goal or overcoming an obstacle there will be easy breezy moments where you're barely breaking a sweat and tough terrain that threatens to knock you off your feet.  

I recently went on a hike here in Phoenix.  This podcast tells the story of what I learned on that hike.  

1️⃣ Pick the right trail for your current skill set.

2️⃣ Be consistent.

3️⃣ Don't forget to look up.

4️⃣ When you're tired, rest don't quit.

5️⃣ Enjoy the view from the top. 

Bonus realization: Hiking is more fun with a friend and easier if that friend has already hiked that trail. 

You don't have to enjoy hiking to get value out of this episode.  If you're wrestling with a problem or struggling to achieve a goal, this podcast will bring a fresh perspective to whatever you're dealing with.

Have you ever felt like you had to wear a mask and disguise how you’re truly feeling because you felt like crap?  You don’t want to ‘make other people feel bad’ so you pretend everything is fine when it’s not.  I have 🙋‍♀️  and it’s exhausting. 

If no one has ever told you this before then I will … It’s okay not to be okay!  Yup, you’re allowed to be bummed, frustrated, irritated, scared, angry, annoyed, disappointed … you name it, it’s okay you’re experiencing it AND you don’t have to act like you’re not.  In fact, what if telling the truth about how you felt was the fastest way to feel better?

I wanted to do a podcast on this topic because I believe it’s an important one.  It seems like there is a lot of forced positivity in the world right now and that can actually have a negative impact on someone who is not okay.  I have both experienced forced positivity and, if I’m being honest, I’ve actually done it to others.  

So whether you’ve experienced it or done it, this podcast aims to shed some light on how to be there for yourself, or someone you love, when they’re not okay.  

I'm also going to help you navigate negative feelings.  Those emotions aren't bad, they're there for a reason but chances are you've never been taught how to process them.  Since you've never been taught how to handle them you might avoid them, push them away, or distract from them instead.  In this podcast I'm going to offer you a different option.  One that will help you be right where you are so you can eventually get where you want to go.

Have you ever felt stuck?  Stuck in one place. Whether it’s stuck in a job, stuck in a relationship or just feeling like you’re stuck in life.  Maybe you feel like you’re doing all the things but getting absolutely nowhere or maybe you just feel like something in life is just not right.

When you’re stuck it’s like having this aching, burning sensation that you need to do something, anything to change - but you can’t.  It can feel like you’re trapped in mud or running in place.

If this is sounding familiar to you, you’re not alone. The vague and puzzling feeling of being stuck is a nearly universal human experience that we experience at some point in life.

There are 3 main reasons people get stuck. 

#1. Your thinking has got you stuck. 

#2.  You've lost your sense of purpose.

#3.  You're afraid of what other people will think. 

This podcast digs deeper into each of those reasons AND gives you easy, tangible ways to get unstuck.  

You can't be stuck and in motion at the same time.   Press play and start to wiggle loose.

Who do you want to be?  It’s an important question to consider.

It not only shapes who you will become in the future but it has an even greater influence on who you are today.

If you are well acquainted with your future-self, congratulations!  You’re on an exciting, fulfilling journey of self discovery.

If you’re just going through the motions of life and have never stopped to ask yourself this question, consider this an invitation to do so.

If you have a vague idea of who it is you want to become then you have a vague chance of ever becoming that person.

Wherever you are on this spectrum, this podcast is about getting clarity on this important question and I will make it easy for you.

I have a simple two step process that will help you become the person you want to be. And when I say simple, I mean it.

We tend to make things harder than they need to be so I’m keeping it simple.  Take a listen and get to know your future-self!
