If you feel stuck in midlife — in your career, marriage, body, or identity — this episode will change how you see yourself.

Most women believe they’re stuck because they lack motivation, confidence, or discipline.

But that’s not the real reason.

In this first episode of the 3-part Reinvention series, we break down:

1. Why midlife women mistake coping for character flaws
2. The hidden behaviors keeping you stuck (scrolling, overworking, overthinking, people-pleasing)
3. What “buffering” is and how it prevents reinvention
4. The awareness questions that create clarity fast
5. What reinvention actually means — and why you may be ready for it

If you know you’re meant for more but can’t seem to move, this episode will help you identify what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Reinvention doesn’t require blowing up your life.

It requires awareness.

🎧 Listen now and start seeing your patterns clearly.

Ready for deeper clarity?

In this episode, we challenge the belief that clarity, confidence, or motivation will arrive first — and then you’ll finally take action. The truth is: most people don’t stay stuck because they lack answers. They stay stuck because they’re waiting for emotional certainty before making a decision.

You’ll learn why readiness is a myth, how waiting quietly erodes self-trust, and what actually creates momentum in your life.

This episode will help you stop postponing change and start moving — even when you don’t feel sure yet.

1. Why confidence doesn’t come before action
2. The hidden cost of waiting for the “right time”
3. How avoidance disguises itself as preparation
4. The moment life actually starts to change
5. A new way to make decisions without certainty

The Clarity Audit helps you identify the exact pattern keeping you stuck and the next step forward.

Have you ever felt restless even though your life is objectively good?

You’re grateful. Stable. Calm.

But something feels underused — like there’s more in you that isn’t being expressed.

Most people assume this means they need a new job, a new plan, or a major life change.

In this episode, I explain why that’s usually the wrong conclusion.

You don’t necessarily want a different career.

You want expansion.

When your brain no longer has survival problems to solve, it starts searching for meaning, growth, and movement. But instead of recognizing that internal need, it tries to solve it externally — by finding the “right” decision before taking action.

That’s why you stay stuck in overthinking and indecision.

In this episode you’ll learn:

1. Why feeling stuck often appears after life becomes stable
2. The difference between a career problem and an expansion need
3. Why clarity does not come from thinking harder
4. How overanalyzing keeps you disconnected from what you actually want
5. The real way direction forms in adulthood
6. Why waiting to be sure prevents you from discovering anything

If you’ve been trying to figure out what you want before you start moving, this episode will help you understand why that hasn’t worked — and what actually does.

This conversation is especially relevant if you feel capable, motivated, and ready for something more… but can’t identify exactly what that “more” is.

Ready to get unstuck? Consider working 1:1 with me. Book your consultation and let's talk.

In Episode 151, I discuss the concept of choosing between the pain of discipline and the pain of regret.

Drawing inspiration from Jim Rohn's words, I emphasize that discipline is a part of identity creation rather than mere productivity.

The episode explores how regret often stems from unfulfilled promises made to oneself and offers practical advice on developing self-discipline through small, daily behaviors. I highlight the importance of self-trust and self-respect in transforming one's identity and living a more fulfilled life.

Listen in to discover actionable steps toward becoming the person you aspire to be and reducing regret by honoring commitments to yourself.

Have you ever said something you regret… and then spent hours replaying it in your mind like you can somehow undo it? In this episode of This Daring Adventure, Trista Guertin breaks down the truth about shame: it isn’t proof that you’re a good person, and it isn’t what creates growth. Shame is a thought pattern that keeps you stuck in self-attack, overthinking, and people-pleasing. You’ll learn why shame isn’t caused by what you did—it’s caused by what you’re thinking about what you did right now. Using the Life Coach School Model (C-T-F-A-R), Trista teaches you how to separate the facts from the story, find the emotion underneath the reaction, and shift into self-leadership and self-trust. If you’re a woman who’s ready to make a real change, this episode will help you break the shame spiral and step back into your power.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why shame is NOT the same thing as accountability
2. The real reason you can’t “let it go” after you mess up
3. How shame fuels spiraling, over-apologizing, and emotional exhaustion
4. How to separate the fact of what happened from the story you’re making it mean
5. Why you don’t need to feel bad to do better
6. How to use the Life Coach School Model (C-T-F-A-R) to shift out of shame fast
7. The most important question to ask after you regret something you said or did
8. How to repair, learn, and move forward without abandoning yourself

1. Shame doesn’t make you better—it makes you smaller.
2. Shame is not growth. It’s self-punishment.
3. Your past isn’t creating your shame—your current thinking is.
4. When you find the emotion underneath the reaction, you stop making yourself wrong.
5. Self-trust is built through compassion + clean learning, not self-attack.

If you’re ready to stop spiraling, stop people-pleasing, and stop dragging shame behind you like it’s your identity…

If you’ve been trying to change your habits, your mindset, or your life—and you keep falling back into old patterns—this episode will explain why. Sustainable change isn’t about more motivation or willpower. It’s about identity.

In this episode of This Daring Adventure, Trista shares how identity is created through the thoughts you repeatedly think about who you are, and why you can’t change what you’re doing without changing who you’re being.

You’ll learn how to identify your current identity, choose a new one on purpose, and build evidence through small daily actions that make your change your new normal. This is a powerful taste of the work Trista is teaching inside Shift 2026 in her coaching community, You, Redefined.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why you keep “starting over” even when you want change
2. What identity really is (and why it’s not a personality trait or a fixed label)
3. How your identity creates your results using the Life Coach School Model
4. The difference between trying to change and becoming someone new
5. How to choose a new identity that matches the life you want
6. Why discomfort is a sign of growth—not failure
7. A simple 3-step identity practice you can use immediately

1. Identity is not who you are—it’s what you repeatedly think about who you are.
2. Your results are a reflection of your practiced identity, not your potential.
3. Sustainable change becomes possible when you stop trying harder and start becoming different.
4. You build a new identity through evidence, not perfection.
5. The discomfort you feel during change is often the signal that it’s working.
