As soon as I finished editing this episode of Hustle Heart, I texted my best friends to tell them not just that I would love for them to listen to this episode, but that I need them to.

Here’s why: for years, I've been telling them about how I’m filled with fears—about work, money, my relationship with my now ex, my family, and my future. It feels like I haven’t had a moment of peace in my mind in the last two or three years. They can relate.

It wasn’t until I had a really honest and heart-opening chat with Alex, the host of this show, that I realized these fears were a symptom of something bigger.

I’ve always wanted to do everything as perfectly as possible, even if that meant that one simple task took me ages to complete. I didn't know that that need for praise and for being seen as a “good girl” was a symptom of the perfectionist within me.

I didn't even know that leading my life and business from this perfectionist version of me wouldn’t let me dream or embrace the magic of creating the reality I desire.

In this episode, Alex talks about perfectionism, what it means, and how to identify that trait in your own life experience. Stay for the whole episode, because she also dives into how sacred it is for the feminine creative energy to step away from perfectionism and embrace experiment, joy, and excitement.

I don’t want to spoil the rest because this episode is packed with magic. If you can relate, this is a must-listen.

Here you can find some of this episode’s takeaways:

• Perfectionism is driven by fear and the need for control.
• Practicing and allowing yourself to make mistakes is essential for mastering a craft.
• Balancing masculine and feminine energy in business is important for creativity and success.
• Self-trust is crucial for personal and professional growth.
• Letting go of perfectionism and embracing uniqueness leads to self-empowerment.

• Not feeling seen and heard is a symptom that can manifest everywhere, including in relationships and businesses.
• People Pleasing has its benefits such as avoiding conflict, but it can never lead to a fulfilling life.
• When fear is the fuel and people-pleasing the motor, you might be leading from a place of lack of self-recognition and identity.
• Our happiness and worthiness are not tied to external validation, but how do we believe that to our core?

• Believing in yourself is crucial for success and attracting others to support and follow.
• Trusting your own intuition and inner guidance is essential for making authentic decisions.
• Seeking validation from others can lead to disempowerment and self-doubt.
• Embracing imperfections and being authentic allows for genuine connection and personal development. Shifting from the old self to a new identity can be challenging and may lead to feelings of being lost and disconnected.
• Self-sabotage is a defense mechanism that keeps us in our familiar zone, but it can hinder personal growth and progress.
• Awareness is the first step in overcoming self-sabotage. Take time to reflect on your habits and behaviors that may be holding you back.
• Setting goals and creating empowering habits can help break through self-sabotage patterns and move towards desired outcomes.
• Check-in with your energy and prioritize feeling good. True freedom and success come from within.

Isn't it the worst feeling when you set out to do something and you just keep falling short? You feel you are always being inconsistent or maybe just lack follow-through.

Have you ever thought "Why am I always getting in my own way, what is wrong with me?!" It's the worst! It feels just as if you're letting yourself down, almost as if you were your own worst enemy.

I get it. I feel the same way from time to time. I want to enjoy so bad the results of my progress so badly, but consistency seems to be a rookie path because it's hard to be strict when following a plan, a strategy, or even a regular schedule.

In this episode Alex shares her thoughts on consistency and trust me, this will be very different then how you are currently thinking about this, challenging you to redefine what it means to keep showing up inconsistent or lacking following through.

She’ll be sharing how to Break Through this inconsistency trap, seeing consistency not as the goal but as the means empowering you to hit your real goals!

She’ll talk you through the following five steps, noting them here for you so you can reflect on these questions after tuning into this episode.

Questions to Reflect on:

1. What is it you desire?
2. What's the consistency struggle? What are you actually struggling with? What is not happening?
3. Explain to yourself why does it matter?
4. Could less be more?
5. What are other ways that could get to your desire that feels fun and exciting? What you're currently doing is the only way?

Sometimes it’s not about forcing yourself to be consistent, thinking there’s something wrong with you. Sometimes it’s not you that needs changing, but the goal itself and the steps you are taking towards those goals so you will be pulled towards it from excitement. Alex invites you to start thinking outside the box and make it fun!

At Hustle Heart Podcast, we strive to keep the tone as authentic and honest as possible because we believe that a community striving for success can only be built by embracing both our light and our shadows.

In this episode, Alex gives us an update since the last release. In episode 5, Alex shared how her relationship was going through a rough patch, and how that experience opened up the doors for:

• Revisiting old wounds
• Identifying patterns that were no longer serving her
• Allowing herself to dream her big vision and embrace the work she wants to bring to the world

Consider episode 6 a continuation, but with an Alex who brings her own life journey to the table, helping you stay accountable in the ongoing journey of healing to handle joy, the process of surrender, and taking radical self-ownership of your path in business and life.

What I love about Alex, and this episode in particular, is something I haven’t seen or heard from many other life coaches out there: she knows she is a work in progress. She understands that self-ownership and radical responsibility are ongoing tasks until the end of our days. She faces her shadows head-on.

Ideas and questions to reflect on after listening to this episode:

• Revisit the last few weeks of your life and name the power moves you have been taking. Don’t sell yourself short; we know you are making huge strides, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Love,

Cinthya Creativa, Alex’s Podcast Manager.

In this intimate and raw episode, Alex invites us to reflect on the importance of taking radical responsibility for our happiness and fulfillment, as she opens up about a personal journey of betrayal, grief, self-discovery, and transformation.

Throughout the episode, Alex shares a deeply personal story of heartbreak and betrayal, and how despite the pain, she has allowed herself to lead with gratitude, recognizing negative emotions as a catalyst for growth and self-discovery.

This experience led Alex to reconnect with her passion for traveling, and her plans to visit Portugal and Bali.

Ideas and questions to reflect on after listening to this episode:

• Make a list of your resources and talents.
• Connect with your sources of joy and pleasure. You can reconnect with a game, an idea, or an activity that brought you joy when you were a kid.

With love,

If you’re here it’s because, just like us, you want it all.

You want the success of a blooming business and the joy of a calm life filled with healthy and growing relationships.

But just like us, you are aware that we can only achieve external pleasure and success if our journey is of deep reflection… and that comes with countless challenges.

In this podcast episode, we are invited to reflect on our spiritual journeys, and how they are not a one-time event but a continuous process of growth and expansion.

Throughout the episode, we explore the misconception that external circumstances reflect our internal state and highlight the significance of reframing challenges as invitations to expand and release old patterns.

As this episode unfolds, Alex goes personal and shares reflections on family dynamics, personal boundaries, and the importance of self-care, as a woman searching for a deeper meaning in life and ready to build a business empire.

Take this episode as a reminder to embrace vulnerability, cultivate self-compassion, and find gratitude in the midst of life's uncertainties.

After listening, don't forget to come back to these ideas and questions to reflect on:

• Name one action you want to take to honor your journey and acknowledge your resilience.
• Practice 5 minutes of gratitude today. You can contemplate, write your ideas down, talk with a friend about what you are grateful for, etc.
