  • The 3 Steps to Build Your Aligned New Year (From the Inside Out)

    The 3 Steps to Build Your Aligned New Year (From the Inside Out)
    Dec 24 2025
    Feeling stuck but sensing a new chapter calling? In this final part of our year-end series, we move from reflection into creation. Host [Host Name] breaks down the three foundational pillars for building a life that feels truly aligned in the new year. We're ditching the failed resolution cycle and focusing on internal shifts that lead to external change. Discover why clarity is more about "who you're becoming" than rigid goals, learn why nervous system safety is the non-negotiable bedrock for lasting change, and unlock the power of "daily alignment" through simple, ritualistic check-ins. If you're ready to stop repeating old patterns and start building a new, authentic experience of life, this episode is your guide. Key Takeaways: Real change is an inside job. It doesn't happen because the calendar flips; it happens when you shift the internal stories about who you are and what you deserve. The 3 Pillars for an Aligned New Year: Clarity: Define the direction, not just the destination. Who is the version of you that chooses differently? How do you want to feel? Nervous System Support (Safety): Change cannot stick if your body doesn't feel safe. Prioritize grounding practices (meditation, breathwork, somatic movement) as daily maintenance, not just a fix. Daily Alignment: Implement small, consistent "anchors" or rituals that keep you connected to your truth and ensure your daily actions move you in your desired direction. Presence Over Productivity: Regular self-check-ins ("How am I feeling? What am I spending my time on?") are more powerful than any checklist. Alignment is a feeling, not just a task. Start Now, Start Small: You don't need a massive overhaul. The most profound shifts begin with tiny, sustainable baby steps integrated into your daily rhythm. Mentioned in this Episode: The December Reset: A guided journey from December 26th through New Year's Eve to help you enter the new year feeling clear, confident, and aligned.

    Ready to move but terrified of blowing up your life? You’re in the right place. In Part 2 of this series, we get practical, sharing the exact method I'm using to navigate my own major life reset (hello, big move and business pivot!).

    This episode is for anyone feeling that restless, pre-New Year panic and is ready to stretch beyond their comfort zone without snapping from the pressure. I'll break down why monumental overhauls usually fail by mid-January and I'll introduce a sustainable, neuroscience-friendly alternative: the “Stretch, Don’t Snap” method of tiny, brave steps.

    Mentioned in the Episode:

    • This is Part 2 of a 3-part series.

    • Get ready for the gentle December Reset with daily journal prompts between Christmas and New Year’s.

  • Feeling Stuck? Why It's Your Secret Signal (And What To Do Next) | Part 1

    Feeling Stuck? Why It's Your Secret Signal (And What To Do Next) | Part 1
    Dec 10 2025

    Feeling stuck isn't a sign you're doing it wrong. It might be the most important signal you'll receive. In this heartfelt and relatable episode, Tina dives into the uncomfortable (but universal) experience of feeling stagnant, out of sync, and deeply ready for change, especially as the year ends.

    She shares her own raw experience of being in a major life transition (think: new era, new identity, and a big move!) and reveals the surprising reasons we often stay stuck longer than we need to. This isn't about New Year's resolutions; it's about understanding the soul-deep whisper that says, "Something has to shift."

    If you're tired of looping through the same patterns, tired of pretending, and tired of prioritizing a cramped comfort over your true aliveness, this conversation is for you. Consider it a compassionate guide to reframing your "stuckness" as necessary momentum and taking your first gentle step forward.

    Journal Prompts Mentioned:

    1. What part of your life has felt “almost right” for too long?

    2. Where have you been settling because the alternative feels scary?

    3. If you had permission to start over, what’s the first thing you’d drop?

    Tiny Action Step:
    Do one thing differently this week. It doesn’t have to be related to any goal. Take a different route to work, try a new coffee shop, or rearrange a room. Small disruptions can create gentle momentum.

    Mentioned in the Episode:

    • This is Part 1 of a 3-part series leading into a gentle year-end reset.

    • Stay tuned for next week’s episode on taking slow, brave steps without blowing up your life.

  • Rekindling Your Light: Purpose, Service & The High Achiever’s Heart with Dr. Esther Zeledón

    Rekindling Your Light: Purpose, Service & The High Achiever’s Heart with Dr. Esther Zeledón
    Dec 5 2025
    Ever feel like you’re thriving on the outside but dimming on the inside? You’re not alone. In this profound and personal episode, I sit down with Dr. Esther Zeledón, author, coach, and guide for “high achievers with a heart.” Together, they unpack why so many of us lose sight of our purpose, how societal noise and misaligned motivations leave us feeling stuck and exhausted, and the transformative power of returning to our true, childlike selves. Esther shares her own journey from people-pleasing and chasing the “American dream” to a life of aligned service and freedom. We explore practical tools like breathwork for community healing, a revolutionary “celebration calendar,” and how to identify your core motivator to move from survival to self-actualization. If you’re the person everyone leans on but are tired of suffering in silence, this conversation is your invitation to reclaim your light. Key Takeaways: Your Light Dims Early: The shift from a clear-visioned 7-year-old to a doubtful 10-year-old shows how early external approval and societal pressure begin to cloud our innate sense of purpose. Purpose is a Daily Practice, Not a Destination: It’s less about a single, massive legacy and more about how you solve problems and bring value to others every single day. Find Your Core Motivator: Lasting energy and alignment come from understanding what truly drives you (e.g., safety, love/belonging, growth, self-actualization). Mistaking your motivator is a primary cause of feeling lost and stagnant. The “High Achiever with a Heart” Archetype: Many changemakers are “over-givers” who suffer in silence, fearing being a burden. Creating confidential, judgment-free spaces (like breathwork circles) is crucial for their release and healing. Self-Care for Sustainers: Beyond bubble baths, resilience for caregivers requires boundary scripts, daily micro-celebrations of living your values, and learning the sacred, challenging art of receiving. About Our Guest: Dr. Esther Zeledón Dr. Esther Zeledón channels the resilience of a Latina immigrant to unlock the highest potential in individuals, teams, and organizations. Her multifaceted journey spans entrepreneur, diplomat, scientist, philanthropist, and mentor. Esther’s acclaimed, award-winning book and workbook, Creating Your Limitless Life (on Your Terms), has transformed thousands of lives. Committed to empowering communities, Esther dedicates significant time to pro bono and low bono services for the BIPOC community and nonprofits worldwide.

    Nov 21 2025
    What does it take to truly step into your power? For today’s guest, Monica Rodgers, it took her entire world falling apart. After achieving outward success as an entrepreneur but feeling deeply disconnected, Monica hit a wall that led to a nine-month "dark night of the soul." From that breakdown came a powerful breakthrough. In this deeply resonant conversation, Monica shares her journey of "unbecoming", shedding the societal programming that taught her to be pleasing, pretty, polite, and performative. We dive into how to break what she calls the "trance of unworthiness," heal our inner misogyny, and embark on the heroine’s journey inward. We also explore the transformative power of Intentional Creativity as a tool for revelation, how to work with anger as a clarifying energy, and why the archetype of the "wounded maiden" keeps so many women stuck in cycles of comparison and competition. If you’re ready to stop proving your worth and start living it, this episode is your guide.

[35:00] How Intentional Creativity helps us hear our inner voice and embrace the "messy middle." [42:15] Monica’s creative journey: Going back to “art school” at 53 and meeting herself on the canvas.
