Julie Kratz teaches organizational behavior, decision-making, leadership, and culture at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. She is also a leadership coach, trainer, speaker, and author whose work focuses on allyship — what it means to support people who are different from ourselves, and how leaders can use their power and influence to make workplaces more fair and more inclusive.We talked about her path from corporate life to academia, and how a childhood moment helped shape her lifelong interest in fairness and justice. We discussed why diversity does not work without inclusion, why so many organizations need to look beyond representation and examine the systems that shape hiring, promotion, pay equity, performance reviews, and sponsorship.We also spent time on the central theme of her book: how to engage people with power in the work of allyship. Julie makes a compelling case that allyship is not about guilt or performative action. It is about noticing who is being underestimated, asking better questions, building trust, and using the power we already have in a more intentional way.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comnextpivotpoint.comAdditional Guest Links:Book Info: nextpivotpoint.com/wewantyouLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/juliekratzYouTube: youtube.com/@nextpivotpointAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edpPodcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com

I sat down with MJ Renshaw — founder of The Being Method and author of How to Cry — and we went deeper than the usual breathwork conversation. We connected breath to our ability to follow through on daily tasks and goals in ways most people don't notice, but that matter greatly.MJ's work blends science and spirituality. With her background in anatomy and physiology, plus lived experience navigating trauma and emotional shutdown, she teaches breathwork in a way that connects what's happening in your body with why you might still feel stuck, even when you “know better.”For so many high-achieving women — especially ADHD entrepreneurs — the issue isn't lack of intelligence, awareness, or strategy. It's that your nervous system doesn't feel safe enough to follow through.We talked about how modern life trains us into stress-based breathing patterns, how that keeps the body in urgency, overwhelm, and avoidance, and why forcing yourself to “calm down” can backfire.Instead, MJ shares how to meet your nervous system where it is, and how your breath can create space between your initial reaction and how you actually want to respond.That pause is where you stop repeating old patterns… and start choosing something different.We also explored crying, anger, and sensitivity, not as things to suppress or fix, but as signals your body is trying to process.If you've been trying to think your way into action… this will shift how you approach it. ✨Connect with MJ:Being Method Website: https://www.beingmethod.ca/How to Cry book: https://www.howtocry.ca/Being Method Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-being-method-podcast/id1664191333Support the showVisit theresalearlevine.org to get Theresa's Book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom"  and receive the private sessions for Free!Becoming More Me with Theresa Lear Levine features conversations that Make the Never-Ending Journey of Becoming one you Want to get Present for & Enjoy!

Send us Fan MailPlaywright and screenwriter Paul Webb streamed onto Playwright's Spotlight all the way from outside London just a week away rehearsal were about to end for his play Warsaw. Paul is a charming Brit with a background in writing that makes everything sound so easy. That's not to say we don't discuss obstacles and struggles, especially considering entering playwriting at a late stage in life. In a addition, we discuss his shift from poetry into playwriting and being self-taught, drawing from History and his development of The Four Knights in Knaresborough and the following evolution of his play Warsaw and its struggles. We also breakdown the balance and transformation of different stages of life, making characters sound natural, having control of your work (or lack there of) in the mediums of film and television vs stage, being in a completely different country during the rehearsal process, and whether or not there are any secrets to rewrites. Paul's is an inspirational and motivating story for any one hesitant to take any leap into the realm of creativity. Enjoy!Paul Webb wrote his first play, Four Knights in Knaresborough, at the age of 50. It was produced in London, had a national tour and drew the attention of the film industry. He was subsequently commissioned by Stephen Spielberg, Michael Mann and Ridley Scott, working closely with all three over a number of years. He wrote Selma, the 2014 film about the voting rights campaign in Alabama, led by Dr Martin Luther King. Shortly after, Paul turned once again to the theater. His play Hold On! premiered at the St. Louis Black Rep in January 2024. Paul recently completed Six Easy Steps, an intimate history of the marriage between Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and the defining influence of their confidante, Louis Howe. Paul is currently working on a play about the epochal summit meeting between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev in Iceland in 1986.For tickets for his play Warsaw playing May 1st through May 17th at the International City Theatre in Long Beach, CA, visit - https://internationalcitytheatre.csstix.com/event-details.php?e=841To watch the video format of this episode, visit - https://youtu.be/doV2ng0uwMELinks to sites and resources mentioned in this episode - Theatrical Rights Worldwide - https://www.theatricalrights.comWebsites and socials for James Elden, Punk Monkey Productions and Playwright's SpotlightPunk Monkey Productions - www.punkmonkeyproductions.comPLAY Noir -www.playnoir.comPLAY Noir Anthology –www.punkmonkeyproductions.com/contact.htmlJames Elden -Twitter - @jameseldensauerIG - @alakardrakeFB - fb.com/jameseldensauerPunk Monkey Productions and PLAY Noir - Twitter - @punkmonkeyprods                  - @playnoirla IG - @punkmonkeyprods       - @playnoir_la FB - fb.com/playnoir        - fb.com/punkmonkeyproductionsPlaywright's Spotlight -Twitter - @wrightlightpod IG - @playwrights_spotlightPlaywriting services through Los Angeles Collegiate Playwrights Festivalwww.losangelescollegiateplaywrightsfestival.com/services.htmlSupport the show

Stephanie Chung is a C-suite leader and board member with decades of experience in aviation and the first Black person in U.S. history to run a private aviation company. Stephanie really paid her dues to get there: she started her career quite literally on the tarmac, parking airplanes and loading luggage at Boston Logan Airport, then went on to leadership in aviation sales, to president of JetSuite X and Chief Growth Officer and brand ambassador of a publicly traded aviation company.In our conversation we explored how growing up as the daughter of an Air Force Master Sergeant shaped her leadership philosophy—instilling a deep commitment to excellence, accountability, and completing the mission. Stephanie also shared how her background in sales influenced the way she leads organizations, why leaders must learn to balance sales, operations, and finance, and how looking for opportunities in “unlikely places” can transform a career.Finally, we talked about her book Ally Leadership How To Lead People Who Are Not Like You.

"Michael Stausholm is the CEO and founder of Sprout World, the first plantable pencil. He started his career in shipping, spent over a decade working across Asia in the garment industry, and along the way developed a deep perspective on leadership, culture, and responsibility in business. Eventually, that journey led him to build Sprout World, a company built around a simple idea: what if the products we use every day didn't become waste, but something new instead? In our conversation, we talk about what he learned early in his career managing teams in very different cultural environments, how that shaped his approach to leadership, and why he believes in giving people freedom while still providing clear direction. We also get into the practical side of building a purpose-driven business, from making decisions about production to balancing commercial success with doing things the right way."Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comsproutworld.comAdditional Guest Links:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/michaelstausholm/Corporate LinksLinktree: linktr.ee/sproutworldTikTok: @sproutworldofficialLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/sprout-europeInstagram: @sproutworldofficialFacebook: facebook.com/sproutworldofficialAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edpPodcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com

What if healing isn't about fixing yourself, but expanding your capacity to live?In this episode of Becoming More Me, I sit down with somatic therapist Megan Sherer to explore how nervous system regulation, identity shifts, and attachment patterns shape the way we show up in relationships and life.Many women have done years of personal growth work, therapy, and self-development… yet still find themselves repeating the same patterns in relationships, people-pleasing, overfunctioning, or emotional burnout. We unpack why awareness alone isn't always enough, and why the body holds the key to real transformation.We also discuss how numbness, anger, and emotional activation are not problems to suppress, but signals from the nervous system that contain important information. You'll also hear why healing can quietly become an identity, how attachment wounds influence romantic relationships, and how somatic work helps reconnect you with your body's wisdom.If you've ever thought, “I understand my patterns, so why am I still stuck?” , this conversation will give you a deeper perspective on identity change, emotional regulation, and true healing.In This Episode• Why healing can become an identity trap• How nervous system regulation actually works• Why numbness in the body is important information• The difference between emotional regulation and suppression• How attachment patterns shape romantic relationships• Why identity shifts feel threatening to the brain• How somatic healing reconnects you to your body's wisdom• Why retreats can accelerate personal growth and identity changeConnect with MeganWebsite:https://www.megansherer.comInstagram:@meganshererSupport the showVisit theresalearlevine.org to get Theresa's Book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom"  and receive the private sessions for Free!Becoming More Me with Theresa Lear Levine features conversations that Make the Never-Ending Journey of Becoming one you Want to get Present for & Enjoy!

His family immigrated from Romania, but for the first few years, his parents had to leave him and his brother temporarily behind as they settled themselves in their new country.In our conversation, we explored how early hardship, like growing up separated by your parents, builds a “figure it out” mentality, why storytelling is one of the most underrated leadership skills, and how something as simple as sharing a meal can become the foundation of culture and trust inside an organization.We went deep into the meaning of profit, the tradeoffs entrepreneurs face when considering outside capital, and the importance of understanding your own motivations before chasing growth, money, or status.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:sstm2.comal4ep.comAdditional Guest Links:Podcast: on SpotifyOn YouTube: youtube.com/@system2podLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/matei-zatreanu/Authentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edpPodcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com

Today's guest is Lily Zheng, a strategist and consultant who has spent the last decade working with organizations of every size — from small nonprofits to Fortune 500 companies — helping them build workplaces that actually work for everyone. In a field often clouded by ideology, misinformation, and polarization, Lily brings something refreshingly different: data, systems thinking, and practical results.They were a guest on the podcast before, so today we just focus on their new book, Fixing Fairness: Four Tenets to Transform Diversity Backlash Into Progress for All , Lily argues that the conversation around DEI has gone off track — not because fairness doesn't matter, but because we've failed to communicate and implement it effectively. Instead of slogans or superficial programs, they offer FAIR - a framework built around measurable outcomes, systems change, coalition-building, and true win-win solutions.In this conversation, we explore:Why being “pro-diversity” isn't the same as creating fair systemsThe surprising data gap between support for diversity and belief in DEI programsWhat actually works — and what has failed — over 60 years of workplace reformHow leaders can build coalitions across differenceAnd why fairness may be the language that can move us forwardContact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:lilyzheng.coal4ep.comAdditional Guest Links:Lily on AL4EPLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lilyzheng308Instagram: @lilyzheng308Lily on SubstackBooks:Fixing FairnessReconstructing DEI DEI DeconstructedAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram –...

This is part 2 of our conversation with Thiago Da Costa, serial entrepreneur and founder and CEO of a Datagrid AI, a company that creates agent and connectors to help companies work more efficiently.In part one we explored Thiago's journey as a serial founder, and what it takes to scale companies from zero to meaningful revenue.In this second part, we go deeper into what truly separates great CEOs from dangerous ones. We talk about transparency, capital discipline, customer obsession, and the growing risk of the celebrity CEO—leaders who master distribution and attention before they build real products. Tiago shares candid perspectives on motivation, resilience, and why founders who aren't deeply anchored to the problem they're solving will eventually burn out.We also shift into a broader discussion on AI—why this moment is fundamentally different from past technology waves, where real opportunities still exist, and why so many AI startups are destined to fail.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comdatagrid.aiAdditional Guest Links:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/thiagocosta2Corporate LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/datagrid-ai/Authentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edpPodcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com

Today's guest is Thiago Da Costa, a serial entrepreneur with multiple exits and decades of experience building deeply technical companies. His latest venture, Datagrid AI is an enterprise agentic solution that connects data and automates workflows across tools, files, and systems, Thiago brings a rare combination of technical depth, founder instinct, and hard-earned perspective on what it really takes to start, scale, and survive as an entrepreneur. We talk candidly about the realities of founder-led growth, why most early hires fail, how scaling actually works in practice, and why instinct—tempered by experience—often matters more than advice.We also dig into the employee side of the equation: how to evaluate a founder before joining a startup, what questions really matter in interviews, and why effort, ownership, and clarity are the ultimate differentiators in today's market.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comdatagrid.aiAdditional Guest Links:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/thiagocosta2Corporate LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/datagrid-ai/Authentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edpPodcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com

If you've ever set a goal that looked amazing on paper… and then your body responded with tension, avoidance, procrastination, or comparison—this episode gives you a simple framework to stop repeating that cycle and start creating goals your nervous system can actually hold.What you'll get from this episode:Set goals in a way that reduces self-sabotage when things start going wellIdentify the hidden “capacity gap” that creates push → crash → avoidance → shameLearn how to work with your body + subconscious (not just your mindset) for sustainable changeBuild internal safety so visibility, money, growth, and leadership feel steadierTurn “failure” into usable feedback instead of a shame spiralStrengthen boundaries so your energy stops leaking and expansion feels saferWalk away with a fast nervous-system reset you can use in real timeYour ceiling = the biggest vision you can hold in your mind.Your floor = your deepest operating belief (what your nervous system acts out when nobody's watching).Your life happens in between… and if the ceiling is high but the floor is low, your system will pull you back to what's familiar—even if it's exhausting.This episode is for high-achieving women (and ambitious humans) who are smart, strategic, and capable… but still find themselves bracing, overthinking, procrastinating, or collapsing right when growth is happening.If this landed, I invite you to leave a review, share the episode, and choose one belief you're done living from in 2026—then support your nervous system as you shift it.Support the showVisit theresalearlevine.org to get Theresa's Book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom" and receive the private sessions for Free!Becoming More Me with Theresa Lear Levine features conversations that Make the Never-Ending Journey of Becoming one you Want to get Present for & Enjoy!

My guest today is an old friend, Nicolas Darveau-Garneau. We met in business school a long time ago, and he went on to become Google's chief evangelist. In that role he advised over a thousand CEOs. He condensed all that wisdom in a brand new book that's called Be A Sequoia Not A Bonsaoi. The book explains how the top 5% of companies beat their competitors.Before becoming Google's chief evangelist, Nick also started and sold 4 companies. In this conversation, we talk about how to figure out if you want to be an entrepreneur and how to assess your own strengths to find the right path, what truly differentiates exceptional leaders, why culture is one of the most underestimated strategic assets.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comnicolasdarveaugarneau.comAdditional Guest Links:Be A Sequoia Not A Bonsai on Amazon - Barnes and Noble Books A Million Book ShopLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/nickdgAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edpPodcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com

You're not behind…you're just tired of “trying harder” and still feeling like you can't fully exhale.If you've ever had that moment where you know you're capable, you know you're doing a lot, and yet money (or support, or opportunity) still feels…weirdly hard to receive—this workshop replay is for you. ✨In Episode 231, I'm teaching the same thing I had to learn the hard way: abundance isn't something you chase. It's something your nervous system has to feel safe enough to allow.We talk about why so many smart, driven people get stuck in “striving but never arriving”…and why it's not a motivation problem or a “just think positive” situation. It's subconscious programming. It's old emotional wiring. It's the body bracing.And then we shift it—together.This isn't just a listen-and-nod episode. It's a tap-along experience with three EFT rounds designed to help you:calm the money stress spiralsoften debt guilt and self-judgmentstop the “I have to earn everything the hard way” patternexpand your capacity to receive without overgiving, proving, or panickingWe also use money as a mirror (because it's honest like that)…but what we're really working on is receiving—in every form. Support. Ease. Love. Opportunities. Breath.If you want a lighter body, clearer choices, and a different relationship with abundance that doesn't require burnout to be “valid”…press play and let yourself actually do the work with me. You don't have to do it perfectly—just be willing. ❤️✨Support the showVisit theresalearlevine.org to get Theresa's Book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom" and receive the private sessions for Free!Becoming More Me with Theresa Lear Levine features conversations that Make the Never-Ending Journey of Becoming one you Want to get Present for & Enjoy!

Parenting “complex kids” is… a lot. ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, emotional dysregulation, big feelings, big talents, and a million moving parts. It's no wonder so many parents end up feeling like exhausted, overwhelmed “Supermoms” (or dads) who are doing everything for everyone and still wondering why it's not working.In this episode, Theresa sits down with Diane Dempster, co-founder, coach, and COO at Impact Parents, to talk about what it really means to raise complex kids in a neuro-informed way. Diane shares her story as a self-described “recovering yelling mom,” how coaching transformed her parenting, and why our kids' brains don't always respond to the typical parenting formulas we're handed.Together, they unpack:Why strategies like “1-2-3 Magic” often don't work consistently for kids with ADHD and executive function challengesThe difference between neurodiverse and neurodivergent, and why stress and overwhelm can make any brain look “neuro spicy”How to think in terms of realistic expectations (including the “3–5 year delay” in executive function)Diane's ACTION model and “relationship-first” approach to parentingA live coaching example using Theresa's real-life dinner time struggles with her four ADHD kidsYou'll also hear practical ideas for transitions (like getting kids off screens and to the dinner table without constant meltdowns), why collaboration matters more than control, and how to support your child's agency without abandoning them to figure it all out alone.If you're parenting a complex kid and have ever thought, “Why does this work one day and not the next?” or “Why can't we just have a normal dinner?”, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. ❤️Support the showVisit theresalearlevine.org to get Theresa's Book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom" and receive the private sessions for Free!Becoming More Me with Theresa Lear Levine features conversations that Make the Never-Ending Journey of Becoming one you Want to get Present for & Enjoy!

Cat Holt is a marketer, brand strategist, and business consultant whose path has woven together creativity, psychology, digital innovation, and a relentless curiosity for how people think and behave. She is also the CEO of Coologee, the marketing firm I co-founded with her.Cat started out as a painter, a musician, and a psychology major fascinated by human behavior. That combination eventually took her into the world of advertising during the dot-com boom, where she became the rare strategist who could bridge brand storytelling with data-driven digital performance. Over the years, she had senior roles at major agencies and Fortune 50 company, building a reputation for connecting emotional insight to measurable business impact.In our conversation episode, we dive into her leadership journey — from the mentors who shaped her, to the philosophy that guides her today, and we discuss our own partnership, the evolution of our business, and the core belief that drives our work: Brand Is Business — the idea that brand isn't a logo or a campaign, but the full 360-degree expression of how a company operates, behaves, and makes decisions.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comcoologee.comAdditional Guest Links:Substack: Brand Is Business: catholtcoologee.substack.com/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/catkolodij/Authentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edp Podcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com

In this episode, we'll decode the often misunderstood hyperactive mind— it's not just about being physically energetic but also having a mind that's always on the go. This is one reason why the H part of the ADHD diagnosis is often confusing to some. I also share my personal journey with ADHD— from my late diagnosis at 42 to navigating it all alongside my four amazing boys, who also experience ADHD.

That feeling when the holidays start to roll in and it secretly feels less like “the most wonderful time of the year” and more like a performance review of your worth as a human?

Late at night, the screen glow felt like company… 104 tabs open, none moving forward. The sock drawer suddenly “urgent.” In Becoming More Me, I talk about how a busy, brilliant brain reaches for quick dopamine when the nervous system isn't feeling safe. Strategy won't stick until safety does.In this episode, we treat screen time as a mirror—not the enemy. I walk you through my T.R.U.S.T. framework to decode why we disconnect and how to come back to what matters:I share how I shaved ~1.75 hours/day (that's ~27 days/year) and the exact shifts that made it doable for an ADHD-prone, entrepreneur brain. Expect practical prompts, regulation cues, and tiny wins that add up… because when you regulate your system, you regulate your time.Press play to reclaim attention, energy, and hours—without shame, hustling harder, or more to-do's.P.S. If you're catching this the day it drops, tomorrow's free “Get Your Time Back” workshop pairs these insights with EFT + hypnosis and a playful 7-day screen-time challenge. Replay will be available after. REGISTER HERE: theresalearlevine.org/getyourtimebackSupport the showVisit theresalearlevine.org to get Theresa's Book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom" and receive the private sessions for Free!Becoming More Me with Theresa Lear Levine features conversations that Make the Never-Ending Journey of Becoming one you Want to get Present for & Enjoy!

I used to wake up already behind… planner full, heart racing, brain sprinting. Gold stars on the outside, white-knuckling on the inside. In this episode, we slow the spin. We name the SAFE trap that keeps success at arm's length and we practice the RISE reset so follow through comes from safety, not force.What we do inside:Spot SAFE in the wild: Survival thinking, Avoidance of expansion, Fear-driven choices, Energy leaks from the pastRegulate first so choice comes back onlinePick one truer 10–15% micro-move and let it be enoughEncode it with tapping and a brief hypnotic rehearsal so your body tags it as familiarYou'll tap with me, breathe easier, and rehearse a calmer tomorrow where the next small step actually sticks. Try this after listening: close your eyes, see yourself taking that one micro-move… feel your shoulders drop… then let your RAS collect proof that you can hold it.Want support integrating this work? JOIN THE FREE SKOOL CLASSROOM for resources, and check out the VIP Pattern Reset for EFT rounds, hypnosis tracks, and a private session.Support the showVisit theresalearlevine.org to get Theresa's Book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom" and receive the private sessions for Free!Becoming More Me with Theresa Lear Levine features conversations that Make the Never-Ending Journey of Becoming one you Want to get Present for & Enjoy!

When Reverend Wendy Yacboski left the corporate world, she wasn't chasing a calling, she was just searching for a better life.What she found was transformation.In this soulful conversation, Wendy and I unpack how confidence is built through action, how spiritual growth often begins with resistance, and why true stability comes from trusting the unseen.We talk about shifting from intellect to embodiment, the courage to speak your truth, and how the subconscious mind supports lasting change.If you've ever wondered what it really looks like to “become more you,” this episode will remind you that the path to purpose is rarely linear, but always guided.

Years ago, I used to live by my to-do lists—checking boxes, chasing goals, and convincing myself that if I just tried harder, I'd finally feel accomplished. But no matter how much I achieved, something always felt off. I was exhausted, anxious, and constantly pushing for the next thing.In this episode, I share what I've learned since those burnout-fueled days—why trying harder eventually stops working and how your nervous system quietly decides when it's safe to move forward.We'll dive into the real reasons willpower fades, motivation dips, and self-sabotage sneaks in, even when you know what to do. You'll learn my RISE framework—Regulate, Identify, Select, and Encode—so you can start creating change that actually sticks.If you're ready to stop forcing your way forward and start rising with more ease, this conversation will feel like an exhale.

Sasha survived a cancer diagnosis at age 31, and that crisis pushed her to leave corporate comfort and embrace entrepreneurship. She described in brutal honesty what being diagnosed with cancer at such an early age felt like and how that experience changed her priorities and her life.

As the air shifts and the light changes, so does our energy. Every year, I notice how September brings both a craving for structure and the weight of unfinished goals. That tension can create the perfect storm for self-sabotage.I've been there myself—sitting at my desk with a launch on the horizon, kids heading back to school, routines upended—and instead of taking aligned action, I found myself spinning, tweaking little details, or avoiding the work altogether. On the surface, I looked productive. Inside, it felt like collision.In this episode, I break down why self-sabotage spikes this time of year, how it's really a nervous-system safety pattern (not laziness or lack of willpower), and what simple shifts you can use to end the spin and return to calm, clarity, and aligned action.✨ Why listen all the way through? Because I'll share a mini-practice from my SHIFT framework that can help you move out of sabotage and into alignment in under a minute—something you can use right away whenever overwhelm hits.Support the showVisit theresalearlevine.org to get Theresa's Book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom" and receive the private sessions for Free!Becoming More Me with Theresa Lear Levine features conversations that Make the Never-Ending Journey of Becoming one you Want to get Present for & Enjoy!

Ever notice how the harder you grip your goals, the further they seem to slip away? Last week in Episode 215, we cracked open the idea of detachment and why surrender isn't about giving up — it's about clearing the static so your nervous system can finally relax into abundance.In this continuation, we take it further. You'll tap through an EFT round designed to unclutch from that white-knuckle pressure, discover why your brain actually performs better in a state of relaxed receiving, and learn how to set a sensory anchor you can fire anytime you need to come back to ease and alignment.By the end, you'll understand how to hold desire without desperation — and how to let your body become the safe container that calls in success with less stress, more flow, and far better results.Support the showVisit theresalearlevine.org to get Theresa's Book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom" and receive the private sessions for Free!Becoming More Me with Theresa Lear Levine features conversations that Make the Never-Ending Journey of Becoming one you Want to get Present for & Enjoy!

Back when I was juggling little kids, late nights, and endless to-do lists, I thought success meant working harder. The result? A shot nervous system, lack-driven choices, and goals that always felt out of reach. What finally changed everything wasn't another color-coded planner or vision board—it was one simple but counterintuitive shift: learning how to Render, Release, and Receive.In this episode, I'm taking you inside the Triple R Method, the exact process I now use (and teach) to create visions that actually stick and manifest in real life. Here's a glimpse of what we cover:✨ Render — why getting clear on your desires isn't about perfect words or polished affirmations, but tuning into honest frequency your nervous system can actually believe. ✨ Release — how clinging to the “how” strangles possibilities, and the surprising reason letting go of control makes results show up faster. ✨ Receive — the practical science behind relaxed abundance, and how to train your brain and body to notice and welcome the opportunities already around you.If you've ever felt stuck in hustle, skeptical of affirmations, or unsure how to make manifestation real, this conversation will give you fresh hope, practical tools, and a whole new way of seeing what's possible.Support the showVisit theresalearlevine.org to get Theresa's Book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom" and receive the private sessions for Free!Becoming More Me with Theresa Lear Levine features conversations that Make the Never-Ending Journey of Becoming one you Want to get Present for & Enjoy!
