About this listen

This podcast is for ambitious women who look successful on the outside but feel stuck, restless, or disconnected on the inside.


I’m Alicia, a business and life coach, and for over 20 years, I’ve been self-coaching my way through life. Not by having it all figured out—but by doing the deep, honest work of reflection, emotional health, and identity growth.


In this podcast, we talk about what really drives growth: identity-based work, setting you as the foundation, and navigating the messy middle of becoming who you’re meant to be.


We’ll explore the fears ambitious women hold onto, the traps we fall into—overfunctioning, perfectionism, people-pleasing, playing small while calling it “being practical”—and what it actually takes to move forward with clarity and self-trust.


We're not fixing anything. We're reconnecting with ourselves.


These are thoughtful, honest conversations about emotional health, growth, and what it means to evolve—without abandoning who you are or what matters to you.


New episodes drop every Tuesday morning.


Think of it as your weekly pause and reminder that you’re allowed to want more—and pursue it.


If you’re ready to stop circling the same patterns and start building a life and business that feels aligned, you’re in the right place.

  • How High-Achieving Women Can Find Real Connection
    Apr 30 2026

    I share the quiet desire I have carried for years to find deeper, real-life conversations with high-achieving women. I tell the story of one coffee chat that led to a bold ask, a surprising response, and a new space for women who want to do the inner work together.

    • craving deeper conversations beyond surface-level check-ins
    • noticing how personal development can feel lonely without real connection
    • honoring that not everyone has the capacity for depth and that it is okay
    • finding like-minded women by starting with what interests you and building the room yourself
    • choosing being seen and heard over “more community.”


    I'd like to invite you to my online Connection Circle on May 7 at 12:00 EST.

  • You're Not Burnout, You're Misaligned
    Apr 21 2026

    We talk about burnout as a sign of misalignment, not just a sign of being too busy. We unpack avoidance, resentment, and control so you can lead your life with more ease, joy, and follow-through.


    • burnout as doing the wrong things for your season
    • why silent misalignment grows into internal burnout
    • letting go of control and delegating work that drains you
    • avoidance as a backpack you keep carrying
    • making a quick resentment list to find what needs to change
    • giving yourself permission to have hobbies without monetizing them
    • capacity shifts, valleys and peaks, and why growth keeps cycling back

    Journal prompt: Where am I not showing up like I want to?

    Book a free 20-minute call, and we can chat about what comes up for you.

    As always, please share this episode with a friend who needs some gentle, tough love in the burnout department.
