She Rises Through It: Self-Leadership, Becoming & Growth for Women in Transition

Written by: Cydnie Brown
Listen for free

She Rises Through It is a weekly podcast for women who are navigating the messy middle of growth; where identity shifts, motivation fades, and the next chapter hasn’t fully revealed itself yet.


I’m Cydnie Jocelyn, Minnesota-based CEO of The Cydnie Jocelyn Collective, retreat creator, and mentor for women in transition. This podcast is where I speak honestly about becoming in real time, without bypassing the discomfort, the nervous system work, or the real-life responsibilities we’re carrying alongside our growth.


Here, we don’t chase quick fixes or perform healing.
We build self-leadership, slowly, intentionally, and with integrity.


Each episode explores:
• self-leadership in seasons of transition and growth
• burnout, misalignment, and rebuilding self-trust
• identity shifts, becoming, and the space between who you were and who you’re becoming
• nervous system regulation and emotional resilience
• motherhood, leadership, and capacity-building in real life
• the discomfort before expansion and how to lead yourself through it


This podcast is for women who are doing the work, parenting, leading, healing, building, while quietly feeling that something in their life is changing. Women who are ready to stop waiting for permission and start trusting themselves again.


Alongside the podcast, I host transformational retreats in Minnesota and Costa Rica, offer identity mentorship, and cultivate spaces where women can slow down, regulate their bodies, and reconnect to their inner authority before expanding into what’s next.


If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, this space is for you.


You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re building self-leadership in the messy middle.

  • I Finally Hosted My First Retreat! (Proof That Taking the Risk Is Worth It)

    I Finally Hosted My First Retreat! (Proof That Taking the Risk Is Worth It)
    May 14 2026

    And this what happens when you finally stop rushing through life long enough to actually feel it!

    A year ago, I came to Costa Rica trying to find myself. This time, I returned holding space for 11 women who were also craving clarity, connection, healing, rest, and a chance to reconnect with themselves again. And honestly… can you believe it? Because I still can’t sometimes. A year ago, I was the woman showing up to a retreat needing saving, needing space, needing to breathe again. Now I’m the one helping create that space for others.

    Watching these women open their hearts, trust complete strangers, and fully immerse themselves in the experience reminded me why retreats are so powerful. There were moments I stood back watching everyone laugh, cry, connect, dance, and just be present, and I kept thinking, “Wow… this is really happening.” Even through the travel chaos, the flat tire, the exhaustion, and all the pivots along the way, it still felt exactly how it was supposed to.

    This conversation is for anyone navigating the messy middle, feeling burned out, craving deeper connection, or wondering if they should finally take the leap into the thing that’s been sitting on their heart.

    In This Episode, I Talk About:

    • Hosting my first women’s retreat in Costa Rica
    • Why slowing down can completely shift your perspective
    • Learning to pivot when things don’t go as planned
    • The emotional experience of holding space for women
    • Why the messy middle can still become something beautiful

    If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who’s navigating their own messy middle or feeling disconnected from themselves lately. And if you’ve ever felt called to step away, slow down, and experience a retreat for yourself, maybe this is your sign.

  • Why Your First Year in Business Feels So Hard (And What to Do Next)

    Why Your First Year in Business Feels So Hard (And What to Do Next)
    Apr 30 2026

    What if the pivots in your life and business are not setbacks but the very thing guiding you toward purpose?

    In this honest solo episode, I share my thoughts just days before flying to Costa Rica to host 11 women on retreat. One year ago, I was there searching for clarity and healing. Now, I’m returning as a retreat host, entrepreneur, and someone who chose to keep going even when things felt uncertain.

    I open up about the emotional rollercoaster of my first year in business, taking a job that drained me, realizing stability without alignment was costing me too much, and why quitting the wrong path was one of the best decisions I made. I also share how pivots can become the very thing that moves you forward.

    I also break down my five-phase strategy process for helping brands and women reconnect with who they are, clarify their message, and build something meaningful in a world where authenticity matters more than ever.


    In This Episode, We Talk About:

    • Why the first year of business can feel messy and uncertain
    • How burnout can be a sign that something needs to change
    • Why quitting the wrong job is not failure
    • How pivots can lead you closer to purpose
    • Why you should never give up on what you’re building


    The 5 Phases I Use to Build Authentic Brands:

    • Phase 1: Brand Audit & Deep Discovery
    • Phase 2: Positioning & Messaging
    • Phase 3: Visual Identity & Direction
    • Phase 4: Website Strategy & Content Blueprint
    • Phase 5: Growth Strategy & Content Themes

    You do not need to have everything figured out. You need honesty, courage, and the willingness to pivot when life asks you to.
