This episode is all about what Becoming Her is and what it definitely is not. It's not a glow-up montage or a perfect morning routine. It's the quiet, relentless choice to show up as the truest version of you in the middle of real life. I share how identity isn't built in big moments, but in thousands of small decisions, and why turning down your inner critic and turning up your inner coach changes everything. This isn't self-help, it's identity work: you stop seeing yourself as something to fix and start seeing yourself as someone who is becoming. Reflect as you listen: What version of you are you ready to leave behind? Who are you becoming? What's one small choice today that lets her lead? And remember—you're not behind. You're just becoming.
It's the first week of January and I love that fresh-start energy where everything feels possible. In this episode, I'm ditching hustle-y, pressure-filled goal setting and exploring a more aligned approach: becoming the person who naturally lives the life you want.Instead of forcing goals through willpower, I introduce a new approach—identity shifts, future-self alignment, and fun, low-pressure ways to make 2026 feel expansive, not exhausting.In this episode I share:Why traditional goal-setting often leads to burnout (and what to do instead)How identity—not motivation—is the missing link to real changeWhy moving abroad, scaling your business, or working less starts with who you believe you arA reframe on vision boards that focuses on becoming, not achievingGoal Bingo: a playful, pressure-free way to design a life you actually want to liveIf you're ready for 2026 to be about becoming, not hustling, then this episode is a must listen!Subscribe and ReviewIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my 2025 transformation. The behind-the-scenes shifts and quiet decisions that changed everything. This was the year I stopped charging forward with force and started walking forward with clarity. The year I realized I don't want a business, relationships, or a life that feel out of synch with me, I want ones that grow with me. Because the truth is, we're always becoming… the question is whether we're doing it consciously or by default. As I walk into 2026, these are the non-negotiables I'm carrying with me: Alignment over approval Energy over obligation Rest over rushing Joy and fun over justifying Creativity over comparison I'm also sharing details about my next master class series, Becoming Her: a 6-month journey built from everything 2025 taught me. This experience is designed to gently uncover what's been keeping you stuck and guide you into the version of yourself you've been wanting… and waiting for. This episode kicks off a 12-episode series all about Becoming Her, with the second episode dropping soon. Plus, by popular listener request, the podcast is officially back to weekly episodes. If you've felt the pull to slow down, realign, and become more you, this episode is your invitation.
Hi mama, Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! This episode is the exhale… the moment to pause before rushing into the new year with another long list of goals. As we wrap up the Becoming Her series, this conversation brings everything together. Instead of asking, “What do I want to do next year?” we shift the focus to something much more powerful:
Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ As we close out the final Monday of the year, I wanted to pause with you… before the noise of “new year, new me” takes over… and help you enter this next season with intention, not pressure. Over the past few weeks in our Becoming Her series, we've done some powerful reflection together: The woman you've been this year The mom you want to be moving forward The partner you're becoming And the life you're intentionally designing And today's Monday Mindset is about bringing all of that together. This Week's Quote “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your habits.” — James Clear This quote is such an important reminder… especially right now… because so many of us head into January focused on what we want to do… instead of who we want to become. Goals can be inspiring… but motivation fades. Life gets loud. Kids get sick. Schedules shift. Habits are what support you when real life shows up. If you want more peace, your habits need to protect peace. If you want more connection, your habits need to create space. If you want more clarity, your habits need to support the woman you're becoming… not the stress you're trying to escape.
Hi mama, Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! We're continuing our Becoming Her series, and today we're diving into a big one—the career you want in 2026. As we close out this year and prepare to open a fresh new chapter, this episode is an invitation to pause and reflect before jumping into goal-setting or making big decisions. Because this conversation is for both types of working moms: • The mom who feels unfulfilled and knows she wants something different • The mom who likes her job, values her career, and wants to grow or climb the ladder... without burning herself out If you've ever found yourself busy, productive, and checking all the boxes… yet still feeling disconnected or restless, this episode is for you. In this deeply personal and practical episode, I share my own journey of realizing I had slowly lost pieces of myself in survival mode… and how slowing down, getting clear, and taking intentional steps changed everything. You'll also learn how to identify whether you're being called to stay, stretch, or shift in this next season… and how to move forward without pressure, guilt, or overwhelm.
Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ As we close out this year and prepare to step into a new one, today's Monday Mindset is all about reflection, growth, and permission. We're continuing our Becoming Her series, and this week we're focusing on your career… whether that means growing where you are, stepping into leadership, or beginning to question what's next. Today's quote sets the tone for this powerful in-between season: “What got you here won't get you there.” - Marshall Goldsmith This quote isn't a judgment of where you are… it's an invitation. An invitation to recognize that the habits, beliefs, and patterns that helped you survive one season may not be the same ones that will help you thrive in the next. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ Why feeling called to grow doesn't mean you're ungrateful ✨ How survival habits can quietly keep you stuck ✨ Why awareness… not action… is the most important first step ✨ How to release guilt around wanting more ✨ What it really means to become the next version of you This is a gentle reminder that you're not behind, broken, or starting over—you're evolving. Monday Mindset Challenge This week, take 10 quiet minutes and reflect on this question: What is one habit, belief, or pattern that got me “here”… but might not take me where I want to go next? Maybe it's: • Overcommitting • Avoiding hard conversations • Saying yes out of guilt instead of alignment • Waiting for permission instead of trusting yourself You don't need to fix it this week. You don't even need to change it yet. Just notice it. Because awareness is always the first step toward alignment.
In this devotional, Felicia emphasizes that God has equipped us with everything we need to fulfill His purpose, regardless of our current state. She discusses the importance of obedience, growth, and trusting in God's plan, even when we feel inadequate. The conversation highlights that God works within us to prepare us for our calling, and that our struggles do not disqualify us from His anointing. The message encourages listeners to embrace their journey of becoming, reminding them that they are empowered and equipped to overcome challenges.TakeawaysGod has equipped us with everything we need to do His will.This season of becoming is about obedience, growth, and trust.God doesn't wait until you're confident to equip you.Internal work is just as powerful as external results.Your weakness doesn't cancel God's anointing.God equips imperfect people to do powerful things.Equipping comes through Christ Jesus, not just education or connections.Becoming Her is a journey, not a race.You are empowered to confront your struggles.Every small step you take is still progress.

Hi mama, Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! If you and your spouse have spent more time talking about groceries, carpool, or who's unloading the dishwasher than anything else, this episode is for you. In part three of our Becoming Her series, we're diving into the partner you want to be in 2026… and how to reconnect beyond the to-do list. Because let's be honest… marriage can start to feel like a series of task lists and logistics meetings. Between work, kids, and life, it's easy to lose the spark that used to feel effortless. But the truth is—connection doesn't need to be complicated. It just needs to be intentional. In this episode, we'll talk about: ✨ How to shift from logistics to love (and why it's easier than you think) ✨ The underrated “sixth love language”… time management ✨ Simple daily habits that rebuild emotional connection ✨ How to protect your partnership from burnout ✨ And why the best kind of date nights don't require babysitters or fancy restaurants This one's part pep talk, part marriage reset, and part reminder that your relationship deserves to be nurtured… even in busy seasons.
Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ In this Monday Mindset, we're continuing the Becoming Her series by focusing on an often-overlooked part of a working mom's identity… the partner she's becoming. As life gets busier with work, kids, schedules, and mental load, marriage often slips into survival mode. Conversations turn into to-do lists. Connection gets pushed to “someday.” And before you know it, you're managing life together… but not really connecting anymore. In today's episode, Kerri reminds you that this doesn't mean your marriage is broken… it means it's busy. And busy seasons don't require more effort… they require more intention.
Cultivating H.E.R. Space: Uplifting Conversations for the Black Woman
Hey lady! You know we’re all about our gentle growth and continuous improvement over here so we’re excited to share an episode that will help grow your toolkit for whatever life may bring your way.As we heal and process it’s common to notice where your childhood has yet again shaped your behavior and caused patterns that at one time seemed normal but now no longer serve you. Growing up in environments where our caregivers were doing the best they could with the tools they had means that we may not have always had the space to be your full self. And, if you grew up in a Black household it’s entirely plausible to not be allowed to feel your feelings and bury them instead.But, we’re grown now and you are not only allowed to feel your feelings but you are encouraged to and there are frameworks that can help. This week, Dr. Dom and Terri present the RULER method, a powerful tool that can help you make your way through difficult and complex emotions so that you can remain in your sovereignty and stand in your integrity.This five-step method can help you meet life as it comes, which will help you loosen the grip of needing to control life. Understanding your emotions offers you more choice in your experience, which can lead to feeling more stable, grounded and having increased capacity to feel the richness and beauty that life has to offer you. Using RULER in Real Life· Recognizing: “How do I know what I’m feeling? What signals does my body send?”· Understanding: “Where did this emotion come from? Is it layered with past wounds?”· Labeling: Talk about the power of language—using words like “disrespected” vs “angry.”· Expressing: “Who is safe to share this with? What’s an empowered way to show this?”· Regulating: Tools and tips (breathwork, journaling, therapy, movement, prayer, etc.)Quote of the Day:“If you don’t know what you’re feeling, it’s hard to know what to do with your feelings.” – Dr. Marc Brackett Goal Mapping Starter GuideCultivating H.E.R.

Welcome to the eighty-fourth episode of Talk Spirit To Me.This week Jess welcomed Jelena Vukalovic to the podcast.Jelena Vukalovic is a woman who has walked through war zones and emerged with a gift: the power to see the soul beneath the scars.This wasn't a choice; it was forged in the chaos. As a young nurse on the frontlines of the Croatian-Serbian war, surrounded by loss, trauma, and human suffering, Jelena discovered her ability to feel beyond the physical. To sense energy. To hold space. To transmit healing where medicine could not.After rebuilding her life in Australia (and again after losing it all) she now channels decades of lived wisdom into sacred spaces that transform trauma into triumph. As the founder of Becoming Her and From Limited to Limitless, Jelena is a transformational mentor who guides women into radical remembrance. Her presence is magnetic, her words catalytic, and her impact undeniable. Through global mentorship, signature programs, and an online community, she helps women reconnect with their inherent magnetism and reclaim a life that feels rich, real, and free.Jelena believes becoming “her” isn't about becoming more — it's about becoming true. And in her world, that truth will set you free.If you would like to connect with Jelena you can follow her on Instagram @jelenavukalovichttps://www.youtube.com/@jelenavukalovichttps://www.facebook.com/Healinglitejelenavukalovic/If you like this sh*t, follow us on Instagram @jessicalynnemediumship & @talkspirittomepodcast OR if you would like to book a Psychic Medium Reading you can do so HERE **Please note: we do not own the rights to this music; Wonderland - Lavaros @RFM_NCM
In this bold and unfiltered episode, Laura Patricia Martin sits down with Monica Yates — coach, speaker, and author of Becoming Her — to unpack the modern woman's paradox: how feminism gave us freedom… but also left many women feeling disconnected, exhausted, and unsupported.Together, they dive into the raw truth of motherhood, business, and relationships in an era that tells women to “have it all” — without showing the cost of doing it alone. Monica shares insights from her book Becoming Her, revealing how true feminine empowerment isn't about competing with men, but about returning to internal safety, softness, and surrender — while still building powerfully in business.If you've ever felt torn between being the high-achieving woman and the nurturer, this conversation will feel like exhaling after years of holding your breath.Key Takeaways- Modern feminism gave women choice — but not always peace.- True feminine empowerment blends ambition and surrender, not one over the other.- Motherhood and business both require strong support systems and emotional safety.- The “independent woman” narrative often isolates us from the relationships we desire.- Feminine leadership is about knowing when to lead and when to lean back.- Becoming Her explores how internal safety creates the foundation for freedom.Memorable Sound Bites- “Support is the backbone of balancing motherhood and business.”- “True feminine empowerment blends strength with vulnerability.”- “Clear communication is the cornerstone of modern relationships.”- “Internal safety unlocks the power of surrender.”- “‘Becoming Her' delves into the essence of feminine power.”Connect with Monica Yates:- Instagram- Website- Book: Becoming HerConnect with Laura Patricia Martin:- Instagram- @itslaurapatriciamartin- Soft x Savage Podcast- Apply for Soft x Savage Society Mastermind- Download Magnetic Messaging Mini-Training
402 Freedom in Healing Throughout life we may make decisions, or be subject to decisions made involving us. Whether it's first or second hand, inevitably we begin to believe in a pattern in the behavior around us, oftentimes leading to self doubt and worse. However, if we keep moving forward, actively choosing to make the best of a situation, to learn and grow in order to better ourselves for ourselves, we will find our freedom in healing. In today's episode, Sarah Elkins and Holli Tabren McEachern discuss the importance of growth, healing, and the honesty that comes with self reflection. Honesty not just with the world, but with yourself and what has happened to make you feel the way you do, and how it triggers you. Highlights Empathy in a world of cruelty is the bravest rebellion. How have you been programmed? Have you ever encountered favoritism? What choices are you making that reflect your behavior? Do you feel like you have to justify these choices? Quotes “I think it's because we look at society, and we look at the grandma with the grandkids and the grandma always spoils the grandkids. You have this program, like your program, program from the way things are. Program from the way everybody does things.” “And God, he prepares you for what's next. You don't know it's preparation. You don't realize that all these things that happen in your life, even the bad choices you make, will prepare you for the next thing.” “You have to change you before anything in the situation can change.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Where are you incarcerated? What are you choosing not to see in your own decisions? That maybe with a little light on them can help you find more satisfaction and happiness in your life. It's a simple question, but the answer might be tricky. And, as always, thank you for listening. About Holli Holli Tabren is an author, speaker, mentor, and reentry specialist dedicated to helping women rebuild their lives and reclaim their power after incarceration. Once sentenced to 25 years in prison, she served 10 years before her case was overturned transforming her pain into purpose.

About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!
