My guest this week is the incredible Eritria Pitts, founder of Story Maestra. Eritria is a former journalist, comedian, and now a story coach and strategist for high-achieving women who are ready to liberate themselves from perfectionist performance and inherited narratives. She believes your greatest asset isn't your resume—it's your reclaimed story.

Tune in to learn how to move from feeling stuck despite your success to confidently stepping into your next aligned chapter:

✨ Why high-achieving women often lose touch with their authentic voice.

🤫 The power of embracing stillness to finally hear your inner voice, and why high-achievers resist it.

✍️ How writing down your story becomes the ultimate form of therapy and non-judgmental liberation.

😥 The fear of "throwing away" years of hard work, and the parental/societal pressure that keeps you from making a necessary shift.

❤️ Why being scared is a sign you're moving in the right direction, and how to "do it scared".

Eritria and I talk about what it takes to stop living up to other people's expectations and start taking the next right step that aligns with your true self. If you're on the precipice of a personal or professional reinvention, this episode is your permission slip to be brave, embrace the friction, and fully own your story.

Alisa Gracheva joins the show to tackle the invisible force that can secretly halt your authority and stall your business scale: unresolved trauma and deep-seated limiting beliefs. Alisa, who has walked a powerful healing journey herself, breaks down what trauma truly is and how it’s encoded in your physiology as negative beliefs that keep you playing small.

This conversation is the deep dive into the mindset block and unseen resistance that we often experience, including:

💔 The shocking truth about how negative beliefs like "I'm not good enough" act as a trauma response, not a personal flaw.

🧠 How emotional numbness, anxiety, and self-sabotaging coping mechanisms (like drinking) are your body's signal that your voice is suppressed and your potential is unfulfilled.

🧘‍♀️ The power of Somatic Work and EMDR in literally rewriting the neural pathways that are holding your leadership back.

🚧 Why comparing your struggle to others is a form of self-minimization that prevents you from setting healthy boundaries.

✨ The essential first step to becoming your "strongest support system" and attracting meaningful, aligned connections and support systems.

If you’ve been feeling a frustrating internal disconnect—knowing you’re capable of more but lacking the clarity and unwavering confidence to unlock that potential—this episode is your roadmap to the healing that precedes your greatest expansion. It all starts with you, and Alisa is here to remind you that your personal power is waiting on the other side of this discomfort.

Are you a high-achieving woman who struggles with self-doubt and second-guessing? This episode is your guide to finding clarity and confidence by tapping into a form of wisdom you've always had: your body's intelligence!

Join host Kate House and special guest Jen Aks, a leadership coach and author, as she shares her journey from debilitating self-doubt to teaching a revolutionary approach to authentic leadership.

Jen introduces us to her signature practice, The Power of Gesture®, which helps you connect your mind and body to make aligned decisions. Today you'll learn:

👯‍♀️ How to embrace your kinesthetic and emotional intelligence to lead a more authentic life.

🧠 Why a "bodyset" approach is the missing piece to achieving true clarity and confidence.

💖 The power of The Power of Gesture®—a simple yet profound practice using hand gestures to access your inner wisdom.

✨ Why being in constant "go, go, go" mode can disconnect you from your deepest desires.

🚀 How to move through major life transitions with a powerful 3-step framework (Embody, Empower, Elevate).

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that our bodies are constantly speaking to us, and by learning to listen, we can find the answers we're looking for, feel more grounded, and stop the cycle of second-guessing.
