  • 83. 10 Things I Learned in the Hard Seasons

    83. 10 Things I Learned in the Hard Seasons
    Jan 7 2026

    Welcome to the first episode of a 10-week series on the You Get to Decide podcast.

    This season is called 10 Things I Learned in My Hard Seasons, and over the next 10 weeks, I’m sharing 100 lessons pulled directly from the hardest seasons of my life.

    Real lived truth.

    In this first episode, I lay the groundwork for the entire series.

    I share what I learned after years of anxiety, shame spirals, binge eating, self-sabotage, chronic self-doubt, survival mode, and believing there was something wrong with me.

    What I learned is this:

    You were never broken

    You were never behind

    And you were never alone

    Hard seasons don’t mean you’re failing.

    They mean something real is being revealed.

    In this episode, I walk you through the core truths that changed everything for me, including

    • Why I stayed in hard seasons longer than I needed to

    • How shame and self-judgment prolong suffering

    • Why desire is not a flaw but a guide

    • How compassion moves you forward faster than force

    • Why you never needed fixing, only understanding

    • How returning to yourself is the most linear path there is

    This episode is for you if-

    You feel like life has been harder than it should be

    You’ve questioned your capability

    You’ve wondered if something is wrong with you

    You’re exhausted from trying to fix yourself

    You know you’re meant for more but don’t know how to get there

    This season is a reminder

    Every road leads back to you.

  • 82. Self-Forgiveness: Putting Down the Past and Walking Into the New Year Clean

    82. Self-Forgiveness: Putting Down the Past and Walking Into the New Year Clean
    Dec 31 2025

    This is the final episode of the year, and I’m sharing it from a place of deep gratitude, honesty, and real life.

    In this episode, I talk about what it actually looks like to end a year without dragging shame, regret, or old identities into the next one. I share how self-forgiveness has been the fastest path to healing in my own life and why being harder on yourself has never been the thing that creates change.

    If you’ve struggled this week with rest, routine, motivation, or the emotional aftermath of the holidays, you’re not alone. I share openly about my own challenges during this in-between time and how I’m learning to meet myself with compassion instead of judgment.

    You’ll be guided through a powerful reflection I use in my own life and with my clients

    What worked

    What didn’t work

    What I’ll do differently

    Not from shame, but from curiosity, wisdom, and growth.

    We’ll also talk about forgiveness in a new way, not as something you force, but as something you give back. Letting go of old beliefs, past choices, and identities that no longer belong to you so you can walk into the new year lighter, clearer, and more grounded.

    This episode is an invitation to close the year with grace, put down what no longer serves you, and step forward with intention.

  • 81. Why Rest, Ease, and Slowness Are the Answer (Not Just During the Holidays)

    81. Why Rest, Ease, and Slowness Are the Answer (Not Just During the Holidays)
    Dec 24 2025
    In this episode, I’m talking about why rest, ease, and slowness aren’t something you earn. They’re the foundation for a sustainable, aligned life. And not just during the holiday season... Letting go of hustle felt irresponsible to me for a long time. Slowing down felt unsafe. But what I’ve learned is that pushing harder isn’t what creates more. Capacity does. This episode is about what changed for me when I stopped forcing, why rest actually creates clarity, creativity, and presence, and how slowing down has made my life and work feel lighter and more sustainable. If you’re tired of rushing, proving, or pushing yourself to the edge, this episode is for you.

  • 80. The End Of Searching

    80. The End Of Searching
    Dec 17 2025
    This episode completes The Return of You™ Method by bringing all five pathways together into one embodied truth: nothing you’ve been chasing outside of yourself was ever the answer. If you’ve been stuck in cycles of anxiety, control, self-sabotage, emotional eating, overworking, people-pleasing, or constantly second-guessing yourself, this episode explains why those patterns exist and how they dissolve when you learn to return to yourself instead of abandoning yourself. You’ll hear what it means to “close the loop,” how safety and enoughness in the body change everything, and why real transformation doesn’t come from fixing, forcing, or hustling harder. This is the work of integration, where awareness turns into self-trust, self-trust becomes grounded action, and old triggers lose their power because you know how to come home to yourself again and again. This episode is for anyone if you know you are meant for more or are tired of searching for the missing piece, tired of outsourcing their power, and ready to live from clarity, calm, and deep inner trust.

  • 79. The Truth Beneath All Your Stuckness

    79. The Truth Beneath All Your Stuckness
    Dec 10 2025

    In this episode we’re going straight to the root of transformation: identity.

    If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along…

    If you’ve ever wondered why you’re powerful in one part of your life and terrified in another…

    If you’ve ever felt confused, broken, or frustrated by your patterns…

    This episode is for you.

    I’m sharing the deeper truth beneath your stuckness: the identities that your nervous system created to keep you safe.

    These identities shape what you believe you can have, how you show up, how you cope, how you protect yourself, and what you allow yourself to receive.

    And they are the reason you can want something with your mind…

    but not feel safe having it in your body.

    This is the core of Pathway Four in the Return of You™ Method — Leading From Truth.

    Truth is who you are beneath fear, beneath perfectionism, beneath addiction, beneath struggle, beneath the stories that were handed to you or built through survival.

    Inside this episode, I walk you through:

    • How identities form

    • How they keep you stuck

    • How to know which one is running the show

    • How to step into the identity that can hold your dreams

    • Why safety creates every result you want

    • And what it means to finally return home to yourself

    This is the episode where everything clicks.

    Where the stuckness finally makes sense.

    Where you see that nothing is wrong with you — you simply haven’t been leading from your truth… yet.

  • 78. Do Your Beliefs Match the Life You Are Working For?

    78. Do Your Beliefs Match the Life You Are Working For?
    Dec 3 2025
    In this episode, we step into Pathway 3 of The Return of You™: Belief Reclamation and explore a question most people never ask: Do your beliefs actually match the life you’re working for? Because you can work hard, push, hustle, self-develop, or manifest your heart out… but if your beliefs were shaped in fear, survival, or old protective patterns, your nervous system will pull you back toward the identity that feels safer — not the identity that feels better. Inside this conversation, I walk you through: The Belief Loop from the workbook and why your identity can’t outgrow the beliefs underneath it Why you have multiple “pattern identities” and how they were created through protection, not truth What “coming home to yourself” actually means — not building a new identity, but returning to the one beneath the fear How the Return Path Belief Tool helps you separate truth from protection and reclaim the beliefs that match the life you’re working for Why belief comes last, not first, and why safety makes belief possible What Belief Reclamation really is — a remembering, not a performance How to distinguish truth (quiet, steady, relieving) from protection (loud, urgent, dramatic) How inner knowing and intuition work together to reveal who you’ve always been At the end of the episode, I guide you through five powerful identity questions that help you hear the truth underneath fear, shame, and old conditioning — so you can finally see whether your beliefs match the life you’re working for. This episode is a homecoming. A reclamation. A remembering of who you’ve always been beneath the patterns.

  • 77. Why Your Nervous System Is The Gatekeeper Of The Life You Want

    77. Why Your Nervous System Is The Gatekeeper Of The Life You Want
    Nov 26 2025
    In this episode, we go deep into Pathway 2 of The Return of You™ Method — the pathway that determines whether your growth feels expansive or impossible. We talk about what actually happens inside your mind and body when you want something… but can’t seem to move toward it. Why you shut down even when you’re motivated. Why you procrastinate, spiral, avoid, or disconnect. And why none of this means you’re broken — it means your nervous system doesn’t feel safe yet. I walk you through what dysregulation really feels like in the body, so you can recognize it in real time… and stop making it mean something about your worth. We explore inner child work and parts work — especially the younger versions of you who learned that slowing down, being seen, receiving, or trying again wasn’t safe. These parts still live inside you, and they’re the ones hitting the brakes when your adult self is trying to accelerate. Then we move into the heart of Pathway 2: feeling your feelings. Not thinking about them. Not bypassing them. Actually feeling them. You’ll learn how to build emotional fluency, how to practice feelings on purpose, and the daily tools to reconnect to your body so you can expand your capacity for the life you’re trying to create. And I share exactly why this work matters for the rest of the method. Why you can’t shift beliefs (Pathway 3), build a new identity (Pathway 4), or return to your truth (Pathway 5) without first building safety in your body. This is the episode that changes how you see yourself — and the limits you thought you had. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel stuck, shut down, or inconsistent… this episode will make everything make sense.

  • 76. The Two D’s That Will Hijack the Life You’re Striving For Every Time

    76. The Two D’s That Will Hijack the Life You’re Striving For Every Time
    Nov 19 2025
    Every single one of us has big desires — the identity we want to step into, the results we’re working toward, the life we know we’re meant for. And yet… we keep getting pulled off our path. We know what we want. We feel the potential inside us. We try to show up differently. But something inside hijacks us — again and again. In this episode, I’m breaking down the Two D’s that derail you every single time if you’re not aware of them: Dysregulation and Disconnection. These two forces — happening inside your body and mind — are the real reason you: procrastinate overeat numb shut down avoid scroll hide lose momentum sabotage your progress and step out of the identity you want to live in This is what’s been hijacking the life you’re striving for — without you even realizing it. You’ll learn: Why your nervous system reacts before you can think How old beliefs and memories stored in your body get triggered today Why the brain pulls you away from your truth when things get “unsafe” Why survival mode feels more familiar than success Why you abandon yourself even when you don’t want to How to finally lead your nervous system instead of being led by it This is the missing awareness most people never get. And without it, the nervous system will run your life — not your truth. This episode takes you right to the beginning of the work: Understanding the forces pulling you away from who you want to be… and learning how to return to yourself instead.
