- 018: Unpacking Your Subconscious with Cati Winkel
Today’s episode is all about the power of our subconscious. About 95% of our everyday actions and decisions are made by our subconscious mind, meaning we think we’re in control when we might actually be letting our trauma, emotions, and bad habits get in the way of our biggest desires. In this episode, Energetic Alignment Coach Cati Winkel shares insight on how our subconscious mind works so you can take steps to rewire your brain for a more fulfilling life.
Cati Winkel is a trained coach and healer, supporting her clients in transcending what keeps them blocked in the areas of self worth, relationships, money, and fulfillment. Her practice incorporates several healing modalities that override blocks at the subconscious, energetic and emotional levels. Cati is based in Overland Park, KS, is married with two girls, and her most recent guilty pleasure is watching the YouTube series Hot Ones.

Here are some key takeaways about our subconscious:
- Our subconscious works like a database to save and filter information for when we need it later. About 95% of our everyday actions - our habits, routines, and choices - are driven by our subconscious.
- When you start to feel out of control of your actions, or want to change a pattern of your behavior, ask yourself: “Where did I learn this behavior?” Think about experiences from childhood that could be the root cause so you can acknowledge it and begin to rewire new beliefs.
- Your subconscious can create “conditions” that block your conscious brain from getting what you want. For example, you might say out loud “I deserve a vacation,” but your subconscious brain will say “I deserve a vacation… when I’ve worked to this point/ achieve this goal/ hit this milestone.” Those subconscious beliefs can keep you from ever actually taking that vacation!
- Make a list of all the things you internally believe to be true. Then go through the list and unpack the things that aren’t actually true. For example “I cannot be successful until I have zero limiting beliefs,” might be something you believe but it is absolutely not true!
- Taking action helps to anchor your subconscious mind and reinforce new thoughts and beliefs.

39 min - 017: Let Go of Hustle and Embrace Slowing Down with Chelsea Capps
Today’s episode is all about taking a step back from busyness, hustle, and burnout. Much easier said than done! That’s why I invited my friend Chelsea Capps to the show to explain how she went from burning the midnight oil to prioritizing herself and setting better boundaries in work and life. If you find yourself falling back into the pre-COVID hustle after the forced slowdown of 2020, this is the episode for you!
Chelsea Capps is a full-time corporate marketer and the founder of The Branding Alchemist, a side hustle she launched to help solve business and marketing problems of all kinds with the power of brand strategy. The way Chelsea sees it, the process of transforming a brand is a lot like the science of alchemy: melting down the elements of your message and your vibe until all that’s left is gold. She’s also super passionate about personal development, and looks to weave her clients’ unique stories into the most authentic version of their brand identity. If our conversation at all inspires you to take a look at defining your values personally or upping your brand messaging game professionally, hit her up on Instagram @thebrandingalchemist or check out her website at www.thebrandingalchemist.com.
Some ways to let go of hustle and embrace slowing down are:
- Stop and celebrate your successes. Let today’s accomplishments be enough to celebrate in the moment before jumping right into the next endeavor.
- Make a happiness list! This is a list of things that are easy to access and achieve that make you feel fulfilled. For example: cooking a fun new recipe, cleaning up an area of your home, or listening to your favorite podcasts (we hope Wake Up Call makes the list!).
- When you’re in a place of overwhelm, instead of planning for where you’ll be in 5 or 10 years, focus on what’s right in front of you. Just take the next best step forward.
- Define your values and your “why” and start infusing these findings into your daily life.

37 min - 016: How to Get Clear On Your Purpose
Are you clear on your purpose? Or do you hear the word “purpose” and feel the pressure to find this elusive thing that’s the key to everything? I felt inspired to make this episode because I believe your purpose is not this one, singular thing, but rather a bunch of simple things that we can find follow if we open our hearts and minds to it. If you feel like you’ve lost your purpose in the midst of chaos, this is the episode for you!
3 key reminders on how to find your purpose are:
- In order to get clear on your purpose, your first step is to eliminate all distractions and be in silence with your thoughts. We can’t have “a-ha” moments about our purpose when we’re blocking our intuition with distracting activities.
- Raise your energetic frequency by appreciating the simple things and adding more fun and play to your life. Check out episode 14 for more inspiration on adding fun to your life.
- Try not to make “purpose” out to be this huge single destination. Purpose is more of a moving target that guides us. If you put purpose on a pedestal, you might miss realizing the purpose that’s right in front of you.

32 min - 015: Be The Boss Of Your Own Life with Danielle Jefferson
Today’s episode is all about taking full ownership of your life. What started out as a conversation about planning turned into an incredible lesson on shifting your mindset into boss mode and prioritizing what’s most important to you in your life. Whether you’re a recovering people pleaser like me, or you’re already a bona fide boss, you do not want to miss this episode!
Danielle Jefferson is the Owner + CEO of Jefferson James Consulting. She’s a Virtual COO helping small businesses understand and optimize their operations to turn 'just getting by' into absolutely killing it. Danielle lives in Charlotte, NC with her family. Follow her on Instagram @danielle_jeffersonjames.
Some key takeaways from this episode are:
- Before you start planning, decide what’s important to YOU in your life, not what other people think you should be focusing on. Then align your goals and tasks to those values.
- Don’t get stuck on your plan. Give yourself permission to change course if you realize a different plan might work better.
- If you don’t tell people what your commitments are, people will set them for you. Be vocal and firm about your priorities.

Some key takeaways Leah shares include:
- Think about what you enjoyed doing as a kid and do more of that now. If you’re struggling to tap into that kid energy, and you don’t have kids at home, hope on a video call with a kid in your life and observe their energy and wonder for a bit.
- Explore in your own backyard. Visit your local farmers market, find a new park or trail to get some movement in, and search for attractions right where you live.
- Cook foods you never have before to try something new. Give yourself permission to veer from your usual food preferences and routines.
- When you’re pondering a decision, ask yourself: what’s the worst that can happen? Then ask yourself: what’s the BEST that can happen?

45 min - 013: Getting Back Into Alignment with Rachel Walt
Today’s episode is all about alignment. Regardless of your relationship with the word “alignment,” it’s all about having clarity on who you are, what you want, and what actions you want to take next. Our guest, Rachel Walt, is an alignment expert. After a struggle with postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety, she started a self-exploration journey that led her to figure out what alignment means to her. If you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or out of touch with yourself, this is the episode for you!
Rachel is the essence of positivity, creativity & authenticity. She is a wife, mom of 3 young kids & the founder of Craftingood. She has a background in holistic health coaching, community organizing, and Speech-Language Pathology. Currently, She's on a mission to empower families, to use creativity and self-compassion as their most powerful tool for raising kind humans, have fun, and change the world! You can find her on Instagram @rachelhwalt. Craftingood is one word with a shared "G". www.craftingood.com on Instagram @wearecraftingood and on Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest @craftingood.

Some key takeaways from this episode are:
- Paying too much attention to external voices (social media, blogs, family opinions, etc.) can keep you from being truly aligned with yourself.
- Sometimes we have to give ourselves permission to find ourselves again. Continually ask yourself “who the heck am I?” to stay aligned with your core values.
- Do you have one person who is far enough from your situation, but still knows you well enough to provide some insight? Examples might be your best friend, a therapist, a coach, or a parent. We need trusted relationships to guide us back to alignment sometimes.
- “Busy” is a numbing technique. Leave space in your schedule to give yourself time to get back in alignment with yourself.

55 min - 012: Holistic Approaches to Health & Wellness with Dr. Lisa Merritt
For today’s episode, I interviewed Dr. Lisa A. Merritt, a Chiropractor, Naturopath, and founder of Weddington Chiropractic Wellness Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Dr. Merritt helps her clients by taking a holistic approach to what she calls the “triangle of health”: structural, nutrition, and emotional. If you’ve experienced a lot of aches and pains in conjunction with your anxiety, or if you’re just starting a health journey, this is the episode for you! Dr. Merritt breaks down how stress and anxiety can play a role in your structural health and wellness.
Some of Dr. Merritt’s tips include:
- If you’re just beginning a holistic health journey, take baby steps. A good first baby step is improving your posture (Dr. Merritt gives tips on how to do this in the episode!).
- When it comes to nutrition, focus on eating more vegetables and drinking more water. Experiment with new healthy recipes and enjoy alcohol and sugar in moderation.
- To avoid stress from miscommunication, try using the phrase “so what I hear you saying is…” and repeat back what you understood.

45 min - 011: Unpacking Jealousy, Comparison, and Focus with Betsy Pake
Today’s episode is seriously a dream! I am interviewing one of my mentors and podcast heroes, Betsy Pake, a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and Trainer and host of The Art of Living Big Podcast. In this episode, Betsy is going to help us unpack feelings of jealousy and what they can teach us about our innermost desires. We also discuss the idea of focus, and what can happen when our focus is in the wrong place. If you struggle with jealousy and comparison, or you find yourself focusing on what you want to avoid more than what you want to attain, this is the episode for you.

Some of the key takeaways Betsy shares in the episode include:
- To change your behavior or environment, change your identity and the way you speak about yourself first.
- When you feel jealousy, remind yourself that it’s not a “bad” emotion to feel. It’s simply information you’re taking in.
- Retrain your brain to stop focusing on the problem and start focusing on the possibilities for expansion and forward movement.

49 min - 010: Exploring What Else Is Out There with Sarah Baus
For today’s episode, I interviewed Sarah Baus, an entrepreneur and the host of the What Else? Podcast! Sarah shares her Wake Up Call moment and the inner work she’s done to allow her to explore what else is possible for her life and her career. If you’ve struggled to quiet external praise and validation in favor of listening to your own inner voice, this is the episode for you!

3 Key takeaways from this episode include:
- Trusting and listening to your gut is a learned skill. There is a difference between discomfort because something is new and scary and discomfort because you know it’s just not the right choice for you. Be graceful with yourself as you differentiate the two.
- Pay attention when you’re clinging to things that give you a stronger sense of control (i.e. tons of intense workouts or eating patterns). It’s an indicator that something is off internally, or that you feel totally out of control of other aspects of your life.
- When you have some idea of what you want to do next, identify any knowledge gaps and start looking for books, podcasts, and mentors to fill those gaps.

55 min - 009: How I'm Coping With Anxiety Triggers
In today’s episode, I’m sharing some personal news… my anxiety came back! My job is transitioning back to the office and traveling for sales, and it brought me back to one of my biggest anxiety triggers: my car. So, I thought I’d share some of the coping mechanisms I’m using to handle this old trigger, and I wanted you to know that if something triggers your anxiety even though you’re putting in the work to manage your stress, you are not alone and it does not reflect on you at all! I hope this episode helps you and resonates with you.

3 Key takeaways I want to highlight from this episode are:
- When a fearful thought arises, it’s important to acknowledge it, but not “hook into” it. Focus on taking deep belly breaths and talking yourself through the moment, reminding yourself that you’re safe and thanking your body for letting you know something’s up.
- In the mornings, leave plenty of time for self-care and getting ready, so you can eliminate the “rushed” feeling that could heighten your anxiety.
- If you are triggered into an anxious state, give yourself grace. Your body is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do in response to a traumatic event or memory.
