Your gut knew first.

Before you had evidence. Before anyone else saw it. Your gut knew that person wasn't safe, that deal was wrong, that something was off. And you overrode it. You smiled when you wanted to run. You said yes when everything inside you screamed no.

Today's guest spent over a decade in an abusive relationship—and her biggest regret isn't what he did to her. It's how long she ignored what her body w...

That week you're trying to "get through"? It's been going on for months. Maybe years. And the exhaustion, the flatlined results, the body that's screaming for attention — those aren't just symptoms. They're a fork in the road.

In this episode, I'm sharing my own breakdown-to-breakthrough story (fibromyalgia at 28, a doctor who told me to "accept" chronic pain forever, and the two-wor...

Quick question: What are you waiting for?

That move you haven't made. That conversation you haven't had. That boundary you haven't set.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

In this episode, I'm naming the pattern I see constantly in smart, capable, talented people: The Permission Trap.

It sounds like "I'll go for it when I've proven myself more." Or "I'll negotiate once I'...

She Slowed Down and Scaled Up

Julia Chien did everything right.

She launched her online nutrition practice during COVID. Clients poured in. Revenue grew. She was riding the high — traveling, thriving, loving what she did.

And then 2024 hit. And everything she'd built stopped working.

In this episode, Julia gets radically honest about what happens when first-generation success reaches its expiration date — and why the beliefs that ...

You're stuck.

Maybe you know exactly what you need to do—and you're not doing it. Or maybe you ARE doing everything. And it's still not working.

Different flavor. Same feeling.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the two completely different patterns that create the exact same "stuck" feeling—and why they require opposite medicine. Because taking the wrong action (or inaction) can keep you trapped for mont...

A few years ago, I found a journal from 2017. The goals I'd written? I was still writing them. Different year. Same list.

That moment changed everything — because I finally realized this isn't a discipline problem. It's a foundation problem.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the three questions you need to ask BEFORE "what's my plan?" — and why skipping them is the reason your goals keep dying.

For six years, Mattanja Lennings tried to fit into a box that was never hers.

She shaved off parts of herself. Followed every rule. Did everything "right" — Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, classical opera training.

And she lost her joy. Her spark. Her reason for singing in the first place.

Until her spirit whispered: "Go paint."

She went to the dollar store. Bought some supplies. And started creating a...

The Pattern to Leave Behind in 2026

I snapped at my husband over something small. And what came out of my mouth showed me a pattern I'd been running for years.

"I know we joke that you guys can all just access my brain — the family cloud — but I'm exhausted. I'm out of bandwidth."

He didn't see me juggling four calendars. The meal plans. The bedtime routines. The constant "Mom, where's my...&quo...

For 12 years, Laura Johnson's business lost money. Every spreadsheet, every logical analysis said the same thing: quit. But her gut said something different. So she made a radical choice—she left her corporate job, put her health and happiness FIRST, and watched everything change. 210% growth later, she's proof that your intuition knows something your spreadsheet doesn't.

In this episode, you'll discover:

I was sitting at the dinner table with my family—food gone cold on my plate—because I'd spent the entire meal answering "urgent" messages. I told myself I was making an impact. And I was... in everyone else's life. But in my own? I was living in a deficit.

In this episode, I share the pattern I finally had to name: I was both the arson AND the firefighter in my own life. The fires weren't the problem. The pa...

There's something running your entire life that you can't see. It's setting your prices, choosing your clients, and deciding how hard you push. In this episode, I'm helping you find the blindspot that's been holding you back—so you can finally break through the invisible ceiling.

In This Episode:

Can you trust your intuition in a courtroom?

Most people think intuition belongs in yoga studios, not in high-stakes legal environments where lives hang in the balance. But JoDee Neil—a former prosecutor who handled crimes against children for 15 years—will tell you straight up: intuition wasn't optional. It was essential.

In this powerful conversation, JoDee shares:

Here's what nobody wants to hear: All those productivity tools you're investing millions in? They're not going to save you. Not because the technology is bad—but because you're using it to optimize a broken system.

There's something most people don't know about the best financial advisors, the sharpest accountants, and the portfolio managers who consistently beat the market: 

They don't just trust the numbers. They trust their gut.

Most leaders don't have an intuition problem. They have a discernment problem.

You've been getting signals. You've been sensing when something's off. You KNOW when a decision doesn't sit right.

But you can't tell the difference between your survival brain screaming "Stay safe!" and your inner wisdom whispering "This is the way."

So you ignore it. Override it. Ask everyone else's o...

For 15 years, I believed I had to choose: money OR meaning. Then I discovered emotional debt—and everything changed. This is how you break free.

You've been sold a lie: choose prosperity OR purpose. Money OR meaning. Success OR soul.

But what if that either/or thinking is exactly what's keeping you stuck?
