You Get to Decide: Mindset Coaching for Driven Women Ready to Go from Stuck to Unstoppable episodes

  • 79. The Truth Beneath All Your Stuckness

    In this episode we’re going straight to the root of transformation: identity.

    If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along…

    If you’ve ever wondered why you’re powerful in one part of your life and terrified in another…

    If you’ve ever felt confused, broken, or frustrated by your patterns…

    This episode is for you.

    I’m sharing the deeper truth beneath your stuckness: the identities that your nervous system created to keep you safe.

    These identities shape what you believe you can have, how you show up, how you cope, how you protect yourself, and what you allow yourself to receive.

    And they are the reason you can want something with your mind…

    but not feel safe having it in your body.

    This is the core of Pathway Four in the Return of You™ Method — Leading From Truth.

    Truth is who you are beneath fear, beneath perfectionism, beneath addiction, beneath struggle, beneath the stories that were handed to you or built through survival.

    Inside this episode, I walk you through:

    • How identities form

    • How they keep you stuck

    • How to know which one is running the show

    • How to step into the identity that can hold your dreams

    • Why safety creates every result you want

    • And what it means to finally return home to yourself

    This is the episode where everything clicks.

    Where the stuckness finally makes sense.

    Where you see that nothing is wrong with you — you simply haven’t been leading from your truth… yet.

  • 78. Do Your Beliefs Match the Life You Are Working For?
    In this episode, we step into Pathway 3 of The Return of You™: Belief Reclamation and explore a question most people never ask:
    Do your beliefs actually match the life you’re working for?
    Because you can work hard, push, hustle, self-develop, or manifest your heart out…
    but if your beliefs were shaped in fear, survival, or old protective patterns, your nervous system will pull you back toward the identity that feels safer — not the identity that feels better.
    Inside this conversation, I walk you through:
    The Belief Loop from the workbook and why your identity can’t outgrow the beliefs underneath it
    Why you have multiple “pattern identities” and how they were created through protection, not truth
    What “coming home to yourself” actually means — not building a new identity, but returning to the one beneath the fear
    How the Return Path Belief Tool helps you separate truth from protection and reclaim the beliefs that match the life you’re working for
    Why belief comes last, not first, and why safety makes belief possible
    What Belief Reclamation really is — a remembering, not a performance
    How to distinguish truth (quiet, steady, relieving) from protection (loud, urgent, dramatic)
    How inner knowing and intuition work together to reveal who you’ve always been
    At the end of the episode, I guide you through five powerful identity questions that help you hear the truth underneath fear, shame, and old conditioning — so you can finally see whether your beliefs match the life you’re working for.
    This episode is a homecoming.
    A reclamation.
    A remembering of who you’ve always been beneath the patterns.

  • 77. Why Your Nervous System Is The Gatekeeper Of The Life You Want
    In this episode, we go deep into Pathway 2 of The Return of You™ Method — the pathway that determines whether your growth feels expansive or impossible.
    We talk about what actually happens inside your mind and body when you want something… but can’t seem to move toward it.
    Why you shut down even when you’re motivated.
    Why you procrastinate, spiral, avoid, or disconnect.
    And why none of this means you’re broken — it means your nervous system doesn’t feel safe yet.
    I walk you through what dysregulation really feels like in the body, so you can recognize it in real time… and stop making it mean something about your worth.
    We explore inner child work and parts work — especially the younger versions of you who learned that slowing down, being seen, receiving, or trying again wasn’t safe. These parts still live inside you, and they’re the ones hitting the brakes when your adult self is trying to accelerate.
    Then we move into the heart of Pathway 2:
    feeling your feelings.
    Not thinking about them.
    Not bypassing them.
    Actually feeling them.
    You’ll learn how to build emotional fluency, how to practice feelings on purpose, and the daily tools to reconnect to your body so you can expand your capacity for the life you’re trying to create.
    And I share exactly why this work matters for the rest of the method.
    Why you can’t shift beliefs (Pathway 3), build a new identity (Pathway 4), or return to your truth (Pathway 5) without first building safety in your body.
    This is the episode that changes how you see yourself — and the limits you thought you had.
    If you’ve ever wondered why you feel stuck, shut down, or inconsistent… this episode will make everything make sense.

  • 76. The Two D’s That Will Hijack the Life You’re Striving For Every Time
    Every single one of us has big desires — the identity we want to step into, the results we’re working toward, the life we know we’re meant for.
    And yet… we keep getting pulled off our path.
    We know what we want.
    We feel the potential inside us.
    We try to show up differently.
    But something inside hijacks us — again and again.
    In this episode, I’m breaking down the Two D’s that derail you every single time if you’re not aware of them:
    Dysregulation and Disconnection.
    These two forces — happening inside your body and mind — are the real reason you:
    procrastinate
    overeat
    numb
    shut down
    avoid
    scroll
    hide
    lose momentum
    sabotage your progress
    and step out of the identity you want to live in
    This is what’s been hijacking the life you’re striving for — without you even realizing it.
    You’ll learn:
    Why your nervous system reacts before you can think
    How old beliefs and memories stored in your body get triggered today
    Why the brain pulls you away from your truth when things get “unsafe”
    Why survival mode feels more familiar than success
    Why you abandon yourself even when you don’t want to
    How to finally lead your nervous system instead of being led by it
    This is the missing awareness most people never get.
    And without it, the nervous system will run your life — not your truth.
    This episode takes you right to the beginning of the work:
    Understanding the forces pulling you away from who you want to be…
    and learning how to return to yourself instead.

  • 75. You Are the Pathway to the True You: A Method Is Born.
    In this episode, I’m breaking down what identity actually is — and why it stops so many of us from rising into the next level of our lives.
    Most people think they’re stuck because they're unmotivated, undisciplined, or “not ready yet.”
    But the truth is simpler:
    Your brain is wired for external safety…
    but transformation requires internal safety.
    Your current identity was built to protect you.
    It knows how to survive, stay hidden, avoid threat, and operate from old patterns.
    So when you reach for more — more success, more visibility, more money, more confidence — your brain creates disconnection. Not because you’re broken, but because it’s trying to keep you safe in the only ways it knows how.
    And that’s exactly where this new work was born.
    Over the past seven days, the names for each stage of my method revealed themselves. I watched myself move through situations that would’ve shut me down in the past… and instead, I moved through them with clarity and speed. I noticed where my brain wanted to slip into shame, collapse, or old identity — and I returned to myself instead.
    That’s when I realized:
    these are the 5 pathways every human must walk to come home to who they truly are.
    This is The Return of You™ Method.
    In this episode, I share:
    What identity actually is
    Why your brain disconnects when you try to grow
    Why internal safety is the foundation for becoming the next version of yourself
    How the 5 Pathways revealed themselves in real time as I moved through my own triggers
    How I used them to return to my truth instead of staying stuck
    Why these pathways now define my entire coaching philosophy
    I am, fully and finally, stepping into what I am meant to teach:
    I am an identity coach.
    I help your nervous system feel at home in the identity you want to show up as —
    so you can go from stuck to unstoppable.
    Inside my world, you either become the version of you that you already know is inside you…
    or, if you don’t know her yet, she’ll be revealed through this process.
    And yes — there’s now a workbook that goes along with this work.
    It’s not homework.
    It’s an enhancement.
    A way to deepen the experience, if you choose, of coming home to yourself.
    If you’re ready to understand why you get stuck…
    and how to return to the real you again and again…
    This episode is the beginning.

  • 74. The 5 Pillar Framework That Reveals Your Most Unstoppable You
    This episode is your roadmap to the real inner work that leads to lasting transformation. I break down the Stuck to Unstoppable framework—a 5-pillar journey designed to help you uncover subconscious patterns, feel safe in your emotions, create beliefs on purpose, activate your next-level identity, step into grounded self-leadership, and move through failure with self-trust.
    This is the work that builds the version of you who gets results—and feels good doing it.
    If you’ve been spinning in self-doubt, shame, fear, or paralysis, this episode is your invitation to reclaim your power. I go deep into how we disconnect from ourselves—either by running from the uncomfortable feelings we think we shouldn’t have, or by silencing our truth under the weight of doubt, fear, and anxious noise the brain uses to keep us small.
    Working with me is a powerful return to the woman you were always meant to be—the one who owns her truth, leads with clarity and confidence, and feels at ease in her body, life, business, and bank account.

  • 73.The Last Thing You Need to Do If You’re Not Leveling Up

    If you’ve been “doing all the right things” but still feel like your next level just won’t click—this episode is the missing piece.

    I take you behind the scenes of what I'm currently practicing myself: identity shifting—the inner transformation that must happen before outer success can follow.

    You’ll learn:

    What an identity shift actually is (and why 75% of growth depends on it)

    The three stages of lasting transformation: awareness, activation, and embodiment

    How to create your identity declaration—a statement that lights up your body and guides every decision

    Why setbacks aren’t a sign of failure but proof that your old identity is fading

    How to hold the frequency of your next level—before you see it

    I share my own examples of evolution, how I help clients move from stuck to unstoppable, and how to make this process feel grounded, real, and repeatable.

    If you’ve ever said, “I’m doing the work—why isn’t it working yet?” this episode will show you the energetic and emotional shift that changes everything.

  • 72. What Happens When You Think You’re the Problem
    Today I bust the quiet belief that you are a problem to be fixed. I show you why shame and perfectionism show up, why they keep you stuck, and how your survival brain prioritizes familiar over growth. What you learn:
    Why the survival brain creates perfectionism, avoidance, overeating, overworking, and people pleasing as protection
    How shame keeps you from looking at your patterns, and how awareness opens choice and peace
    The difference between fixing yourself and understanding yourself, and why that shift creates momentum
    Why, when you think you are the problem shame is the driver which causes you to feel like you have to run from yourself.
    I go into detail why running towards yourself is the answer. YOU ARE THE SOLUTION.

  • 71. Working With Your Mind (Not Against It)
    If you’ve ever felt like something’s wrong with you because you’re overwhelmed, anxious, procrastinating, or doubting yourself — this episode will change how you see everything.
    Your brain is wired for safety, not success. So when you go to change, rise, or create something new… your brain pulls the emergency brake.
    In this powerful episode, I walk you through:
    What’s actually happening when your brain offers you overwhelm, confusion, frustration, self-doubt, or fear
    Why your brain repeats the same sabotaging loops (even after all the books, podcasts, and therapy)
    How shame, procrastination, perfectionism, and avoidance are symptoms of a deeper identity your brain’s trying to protect
    How to spot your personal protection pattern and disrupt it
    Why loving yourself through the pattern (instead of judging it) is what actually breaks it
    The real difference between working with your mind vs. working against it
    You’ll walk away with language to describe your own patterns, tools to override them, and a powerful perspective shift that puts you back in charge.
    This isn’t mindset fluff. I
    t’s how you stop being stuck and start becoming who you know you’re meant to be.

  • 70. The Power of Leadership Energy: Becoming the Leader of Your Own Life
    Leadership isn’t just about titles, teams, or business goals, it’s about how you lead yourself every single day.
    It’s the energy behind your choices, the tone you set for your life, and the presence you bring to every room you walk into.
    In this episode,I explore what it really means to embody leadership energy, especially when things feel uncertain or heavy. I share how to lead from intention instead of reaction, how to recognize when you’re leaking energy in areas that need your leadership most, and how to reclaim your power to move forward with clarity, confidence, and calm.
    I also talk about my mini retreat, where women are coming together to practice this work in real time — releasing the old patterns of overwhelm, perfectionism, and self-doubt FOR GOOD and stepping into the leader their life has been waiting for.
    Because when you learn to lead your own life first, everything else begins to follow.
