Do you ever hear a voice in your head that sounds convincing—but leaves you feeling stuck, small, or second-guessing yourself? In this episode, we’re breaking down the powerful difference between your inner critic and your inner wisdom, and why knowing which one you’re listening to changes everything.

As we move into Phase Two: Tuning Into Your Inner Voice, I’m sharing a personal story about learning to recognize fear disguised as “being realistic” and how reconnecting with inner wisdom creates clarity, confidence, and forward momentum.

You’ll learn how to tell when your thoughts are coming from fear versus alignment, why your inner wisdom often speaks quietly, and simple tools you can use this week to start trusting yourself again—without blowing up your life or having everything figured out.

This episode is for you if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or standing at the edge of something new and want to move forward with more self-trust and less self-doubt.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• The key differences between the inner critic and inner wisdom
• Why your inner critic feels urgent, loud, and convincing
• How inner wisdom actually sounds and feels in daily life
• A relatable story about mistaking fear for “being responsible”
• Why Phase Two is all about reconnection and self-trust
• Simple questions to help you identify which voice you’re listening to
• How to move forward without guilt, pressure, or having all the answers

Key Takeaways

• Your inner critic is loud because it’s afraid
• Your inner wisdom is quiet because it trusts you
• Wisdom never shames you—it guides you
• You don’t need to silence fear, just stop letting it lead
• Small, aligned steps matter more than big, forced changes

Try This After Listening

The next time a thought pops up, ask yourself:

1. Does this feel urgent or grounded?
2. Do I feel expanded or contracted?
3. Would I say this to a friend I love?

Let your answers guide you back to your inner wisdom.

• Women feeling stuck or overwhelmed by life transitions
• Moms and busy women craving clarity and confidence
• Anyone learning to trust themselves again

In this powerful, honest conversation, three hosts come together to unpack the real magic behind growth, success, and becoming your future self—and it’s probably not what you think.

So many of us are focused on where we should be by now. We measure our lives against timelines, expectations, and other people’s highlight reels. But what if the real question isn’t “Am I ahead or behind?”—what if it’s “What is most beneficial for me right now?”

This episode is all about trusting the process, honoring the journey you’re in, and understanding that who you are becoming is shaped in the moments that feel uncomfortable, slow, or messy.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why we crave success—and how constantly measuring ourselves can actually disconnect us from growth
• Shifting from “Where should I be?” to “What’s most beneficial for me right now?”
• How trusting what you’re going through prepares and molds you for what’s meant for you
• Why the journey itself is required to become the version of you you’re working toward
• Redefining failure—and why it may not exist the way we’ve been taught
• The reminder you need to hear: you are right where you need to be
• How support systems can lead to unexpected opportunities—including lifelong friendships
• Creating community and learning how to intentionally build a support system
• Feeling all the feelings and “completing the circuit” instead of numbing or rushing through emotions
• Why emotions are not distractions—they’re part of the process
• Giving yourself permission to do life messy, imperfect, and one step at a time

Key Takeaways:

Growth doesn’t come from skipping steps—it comes from living them. Every season, challenge, pause, and pivot is shaping you into the person you’re becoming. When you stop fighting the process and start trusting it, everything begins to shift.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be “there” yet.
You just need to stay present, supported, and willing to take the next step.

Listen If You’re:

• Feeling behind in life or questioning your progress
• Navigating a transition and unsure what version of yourself you’re becoming
• Craving deeper connection, support, or community
• Learning how to trust yourself and the journey you’re on
• Ready to stop rushing and start honoring your process

What if just two minutes in the morning could completely shift the way your day unfolds?

In this episode of Release Your Inner Power, we’re diving into the power of a simple morning check-in. No, you don’t need an hour-long routine or a perfect journal spread — just a few mindful minutes to pause, breathe, and set your intention before the chaos begins.

I share a personal story about how checking my phone first thing in the morning left me drained and reactive, and how a small change — turning inward before tuning out — made me feel grounded, calm, and in control.

You’ll learn:
✨ Why a morning check-in is the fastest way to reset your day and mood
✨ Simple questions and practices that take less than two minutes
✨ How busy women, moms, and professionals can create a routine that actually works
✨ The difference between reacting to your day and leading your day

This is your reminder that you don’t have to overhaul your life to feel better — sometimes the smallest shifts create the biggest results.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or stuck on autopilot, this episode will help you reclaim your mornings, reset your energy, and step into your day with clarity and confidence.
