Change is uncomfortable. And if you're parenting a teen or standing on the edge of the empty nest, you may be feeling that discomfort more than ever. In this episode, I'm talking about why change feels so hard—even when it's the change we want—why so many of us try to avoid that discomfort by staying busy, fixing, or just avoiding our pain, and what it actually looks like to sit with that discomfort in a way that brings peace instead of overwhelm. If this season of motherhood feels harder than you expected—if you're feeling anxious, uncertain, or unsure how to let go—join me as I talk about what's really happening underneath that discomfort, and how to face change in a new way.

Maggie reflects on new beginnings, gentle resets, and the quiet goodbyes that come with change, reminding us it's okay to feel hopeful and tender at the same time as we step into a new year!  Sponsor note: Head to cozyearth.com and use code METIMEMAGGIE for up to 20% off.

But if you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and still feeling behind, this episode gives language to what you're carrying. The issue isn't motivation—it's overload.   This isn't just about doing less to recover; it's about choosing what truly matters. Growth comes from intentionally letting go of roles and habits that drain you, not from pushing yourself harder.   For 2026, remember: breakthrough won't come from new planners, tighter schedules, or more hustle. It will come from releasing what no longer serves you and making room for what matters most.   Timestamps: (01:00) - Why Some Goals Need to Be Quit (04:13) - Letting Go of the Need to Prove Yourself (06:31) - Why Being Available to Everyone Is Costing You Everything (08:13) - Quitting Emotional Over-Functioning for Other People (09:46) - Stop Shrinking Yourself in Rooms You're Meant to Grow In (11:24) - Practical Action Steps for Quitting What's Holding You Back in 2026   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE Links to great things we discussed:    Wise Woman Method - Join Alli's Substack Catalyst Mastermind Alli's Makeup Recommendation - REVLON ColorStay Multiplayer Liquid-Glide Eye Pencil Start your Free 30-day trial of Uplift!

Have you ever felt terrified of change… not just because life is shifting, but because you feel like you're shifting with it? I know that feeling well — and this week's conversation opened my heart and mind in such a profound way. In this week's episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Dr. Maya Shankar, a renowned cognitive scientist whose work sits at the intersection of identity, behavior, and human transformation. Maya is the Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google, the creator and host of the award-winning podcast A Slight Change of Plans, and the former Senior Policy Advisor in the Obama White House. She founded and chaired the White House Social and Behavioral Sciences Team and later became the first Behavioral Science Advisor to the United Nations. Maya's new book, The Other Side of Change, is a stunning blend of research and storytelling. In our conversation, we explore why change can feel so destabilizing, how our brains are wired to resist uncertainty, and what happens when the identities we've clung to suddenly fall away. Maya shares vulnerably about losing the violin career she spent her childhood building, and later, facing the grief and identity questions that came with unexpected challenges around motherhood. We also dive into some of the most fascinating ideas from her work — like why we mistakenly believe we're “done changing,” how awe and moral beauty can completely redirect our lives, and a simple 5-minute practice that can ground us when we feel unmoored. We talk about the stories we inherit, the ones we outgrow, and the courage it takes to imagine ourselves beyond old definitions.  In a world where CHANGE is the only constant, Maya's work is a lighthouse.  This conversation is honest, expansive, and full of insight. If you're navigating transition, grieving a path that didn't unfold, questioning your identity, or simply curious about who you're becoming… this episode is for you. Key Moments You'll Love ✨:

What if breaking your family's silence was the first step to truly finding yourself? Author and educator, Dr. Joan Sung, joins Karena in Austin for a candid conversation about identity, intergenerational trauma, and what it really takes to prioritize mental health, especially within Asian American family systems. From the model minority myth to “tiger mom” dynamics, fetishization, and going “no contact”, Joan shares the tools, boundaries, and mindset shifts that helped her reclaim her story and raise her son with compassion and strength. She also opens up about therapy, inner-child work, and why an “emo tour” became her unexpected self-care.How do you heal when culture tells you to stay silent?

In today's episode, I share two intuitive writings with you—both in the form of poetry—and both on the topic of the in-between or liminal space of transformation. These poems speak to the discomfort that comes with shedding old, outworn ways and layers and coming to find ourselves anew and renewed. The transitory phase or liminal space can be incredibly uncomfortable. We're not quite that "new" version of us and yet we're no longer the "old" version either. During this phase of transition and rebirth, it can feel as if we've been left out in the cold. We find ourselves reaching for old ways of comforting and soothing yet more and more we're coming to realize that the old balms no longer soothe. Yet, that surrendered leap forward into the great unknown continues to terrify us. And so at this phase of change, we find ourselves lingering at the precipice... like an onion, the top layer of who we are is falling away, revealing a deeper, more whole version of our depth. And yet there's a rawness to this process—an exposed vulnerability that leaves us feeling naked in our own discomfort.Work with me—schedule a free 30-minute breakthrough consultation today.

Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to introduce Teresa Edwards’ book The Mirror Method: 12 Weeks to Stop Abandoning Yourself, a guided workbook designed to help individuals overcome people-pleasing tendencies, set boundaries, and prioritize their own needs without guilt. It focuses on personal empowerment, mental health, and rediscovering one’s authentic self. Key Takeaways People-Pleasing and Boundaries People-pleasing becomes harmful when you agree to things you don’t want to do, leading to stress and resentment.

Emphasizes self-reflection, journaling, and gradual transformation at your own pace. Selfishness vs. Self-Care Edwards reframes “selfish” as a positive concept: prioritizing your health and happiness is necessary, not negative. You can’t be your best for others if you’re not your best for yourself. Health as a Wake-Up Call Stress is a silent killer; Teresa’s own health issues (high blood pressure) forced her to reevaluate her life. Happiness and well-being should not be age-limited—“You’re never too old to return to yourself.” Letting Go of Toxic Relationships Users often exploit people-pleasers; recognizing and removing such relationships is crucial. Fully committing to the Mirror Method means accepting hard truths and being okay with losing people who drain you.

What happens when the very rules meant to keep you “safe” are actually keeping you stuck? In today's powerful guest episode, Abbie is joined by Madison Cacciola CPT, a former macro tracker, personal trainer, and dear client, who vulnerably shares her journey from binge eating, food rules, and control to true food freedom in Christ. Madison opens up about why tracking felt necessary—how rules gave her a false sense of safety after struggling with binge eating—and why trusting her hunger and body felt terrifying. She shares what it looked like to walk through the messy middle of intuitive eating, surrender control daily, and confront the fear that letting go would lead to failure. Together, Abbie and Madison unpack: Why food rules often feel safer than freedom after binge eating How macro tracking can become an idol disguised as discipline The fear of weight gain—and what happened when it actually occurred Why intuitive eating is not a “free-for-all,” but a Spirit-led practice How shame entered the moment Madison saw the number on the scale—and the biblical parallel that changed everything Why obedience sometimes feels uncomfortable—but always leads to freedom The difference between striving for weight loss and striving for healing How surrendering food control deepened Madison's intimacy with God Why freedom is worth the cost, even when the journey feels hard This episode is honest, emotional, deeply biblical, and full of hope for anyone who feels trapped by food rules, tracking, binge eating, or fear of losing control. If you're in the middle—unsure whether to let go, scared of what might happen, and longing for real peace—this conversation is for you!

The “in-between”: That space/experience where the old no longer fits, and the new one hasn't fully formed. We will talk about how we can normalize this phase as part of growth: reframe from a failure or setback and honoring the space between no longer and not yet.

Some of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged topics for men are: attraction, compatibility, and what actually creates lasting connection with a woman. My guest, Laurin Ponce, helps us break down the difference between compatibility, connection, and chemistry - and why confusing those three is where most relationships go off the rails. We talk about what women truly find attractive in a grounded man, what it really means when a woman asks for space, why it feels like there are more rules for men, and how respect is built long before it's ever given. From attachment styles and masculine frame to why women's touch is medicine and how peace and respect create a relationship where both people feel safe and free, this conversation cracks open the unspoken dynamics most men are trying to navigate alone. We also explore the practical side: non-negotiables, testing for compatibility, shared values, money, day-to-day living, and why partners are often mirrors and triggers for our own unresolved work. Laurin and I get into anxious versus avoidant dynamics, masculinity and femininity in modern relationships, emotional expression in men, vulnerability, physical attraction, and how connection is built - and rebuilt - over time SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Understanding Men and Women 01:07 - Is There a Line in "Figuring Each Other Out"? 03:22 - Masculine and Feminine Polarity 05:08 - The Bowl and the Water Analogy 06:46 - Why Respect Starts With Self-Respect 08:21 - Non-Negotiables in Relationships 10:05 - Compatibility vs. Chemistry 13:18 - Core Values and Relationship Dealbreakers 14:58 - You Can't Out-Love Incompatibility 17:16 - Chemistry vs. Trauma Bonds 18:46 - What Real Chemistry Feels Like 19:29 - Peace and Respect in Relationships 22:47 - Creating Emotional Safety 26:52 - Masculine and Feminine Imbalance Today 30:30 - Polarity Always Finds Its Way 33:41 - Letting Go of Armor and Control 35:16 - Becoming the Partner You Want to Attract 39:13 - Consistency and Trust 40:10 - Physical Attraction and Discipline 43:02 - Connection Is Built Over Time 46:37 - Scarcity Mindset in Dating 48:02 - Where Men Should Start in Long-Term Relationships 50:32 - Rekindling Attraction and Intentionality 57:12 - "Cracking the Code" of Your Partner 01:00:29 - Never Get Comfortable in Love 01:05:05 - Serving Each Other Without Shame 01:06:23 - Where to Find Laurin's Work Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

In this conversation, Jesse Michels joins me to explore a question that's becoming harder to dismiss: what if the phenomenon we call UFOs points to something real—and we don't yet know what it is? Rather than arguing for belief or disbelief, this episode is an invitation to curiosity, careful inquiry, and intellectual honesty about the limits of our current understanding.We examine historical UFO encounters near nuclear sites, government secrecy, and the growing body of anomalies that don't sit comfortably within a purely materialist worldview. This is a conversation about staying grounded while remaining open. About asking better questions. And about whether phenomena like UFOs, non-human intelligence, or something we haven't yet named might be nudging us to expand how we think about reality, consciousness, and our place in the universe.Momentous: Best Creatine in the gamehttps://livemomentous.com[Use code KNOWTHYSELF for up to 35% off]BONCHARGE - 15% off red light therapy products I personally usehttps://www.boncharge.com/knowthyself[Code: KNOWTHYSELF]André's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro06:36 Questioning the Nature of Reality09:18 A Timeline of Non-Human Intelligence Evidence23:37 Why Nuclear Sites Attract Attention31:55 Extraordinary Claims, Extraordinary Evidence40:29 Ad: Momentous41:51 Letting Go of Human-Centric Thinking47:49 Studying Claims Without Dismissing People58:58 Non-Human Biologics and Physical Evidence1:06:10 Ad: Boncharge1:07:25 What May Have Been Quietly Explored1:18:55 The Hidden Branch of Physics1:26:38 Reframing Aliens Through Consciousness1:33:33 Grays, Nordics, and Reptilians Explained1:40:10 Why We Don't See Reality Directly1:53:58 Glimpses Outside Linear Time1:58:44 Why Aliens Look Strangely Human2:07:32 Shared Phenomena in Altered States2:15:32 Jesse's Personal UFO Experiences2:23:35 The Monolith as a Metaphor2:29:07 The Problem With Visual Proof2:35:24 What Is Actually Happening?2:46:47 Voices Worth Listening To2:51:22 What Would You Ask an Alien?2:53:19 Closing Thoughts___________Episode Resources: https://www.youtube.com/Jessemichelshttps://www.instagram.com/jessemichelsofficial/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

Six months into our journey through the Yamas and Niyamas, we pause to reflect on what it really means to let go. Not just of our stuff, but of expectations, busyness, self-judgment, and the heaviness we carry inside.In this episode, we finish our exploration of Aparigraha (nonpossessiveness) and begin our inward turn into the Niyamas, starting with Saucha, the practice of purity. But purity here isn't about perfection, appearances, or having it all together. It's about lightening our load, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, so we can meet each moment with clarity, compassion, and presence.Join us as we talk about what it might look like to stop “planning ourselves” and instead love ourselves as we are. This is an invitation to slow down, to be present, and to become a safer place for ourselves and for others.If you're feeling weighed down, scattered, or quietly exhausted by trying to do it all right, this conversation offers a gentler way forward - one rooted in presence, peace, and learning to let joy linger.Show Notes:The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice by Deborah Adele

What if the thing holding your business back isn't your talent or the market, but your hesitation to let go?In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, we sit down with Cheyenne of Cheyenne Films to talk about the power of niching down, choosing specialization over being everything to everyone, and making strategic decisions that actually move the needle. Cheyenne shares her journey from offering everything under the sun to going all-in on filmmaking, and how that clarity transformed her brand, her confidence, and her momentum.We dive into why luxury clients value specialists, how rebranding is about more than aesthetics, and what it looks like to align your business with the planners, vendors, and venues you want to work alongside.

Does God actually care about your business and the work you're doing?In this client success story, Audrey sits down with Hannah to share what shifted when she realized that God doesn't just care about her. He cares about her business too.When Hannah first came into coaching, she was overwhelmed and unsure whether her ideas could become something sustainable. She was working hard, juggling too many ideas at once, and quietly questioning if her niche even mattered. Without clear direction, the emotional weight of building started to add up.I know many founders feel this way. We hope this episode becomes a reminder that building a business doesn't mean carrying everything alone. God cares about the details: the decisions, the doubts, the timing, and when we invite Him into our work honestly, it changes how we build.Cheering you on,Kelsey Kemp & Audrey BagarusCONNECT WITH HANNAH:

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Kacia Ghetmiri, host of the empowerHER podcast, a mom and wife, speaker, real estate agent, investor, and serial entrepreneur, for an honest, grounding conversation about what happens when success, identity, and ambition shift after becoming a mother. We talk about the quiet (and not-so-quiet) identity unraveling that can happen in this season, the pressure to “bounce back,” and the permission required to redefine success on your own terms - not based on who you were before or what anyone else is doing online. This episode is for you if you're navigating a pivot, feeling disconnected from old goals, or craving a more sustainable, self-trusting version of success in this next chapter.Here's what we explore together in this conversation:The behind-the-scenes decision to pause and pivot away from a multiple–seven-figure brand, and how Kacia navigated fear, intuition, and outside opinionsHow to trust yourself when you know something no longer fits, even when you don't yet have clarity on what's nextThe identity shifts that happen when motherhood meets entrepreneurshipReleasing comparison — both to past versions of yourself and to other women in different seasonsHow to identify the season you're in, own your capacity, and stop forcing yourself to want what no longer feels trueWhat Kacia's current season looks like now, what she's doing differently this time, and how joy and fun have become her compassIf you're an entrepreneur, a mom, or a woman navigating a season of change — questioning what you want, how you want to work, or what success really means to you now — this conversation will meet you right where you are.More about Kacia:Kacia Ghetmiri is a mom and wife, speaker, real estate agent, investor, and serial entrepreneur. She's known for her instant-bestie vibe and candid storytelling as the host of the empowerHER podcast, a high-energy show with 13M+ downloads.

In this episode of Call Her Creator, I'm sharing five things I'm consciously letting go of in 2026 — not because they failed, but because they no longer fit the version of my life and business I'm stepping into. We're talking about real alignment. Not the fluffy kind, the kind that comes from subtraction, boundaries, and honest reassessment. Inside this episode, I break down: Why forcing growth, content, and hustle isn't working anymore How hustle quietly becomes identity if you don't reassess it Why posting “just to stay consistent” can disconnect you from your audience How comparison disguises itself as research and pulls you off your own path Why saying yes out of fear costs more than saying no How letting go of past versions of yourself creates space for sustainable growth I also share how health challenges, leadership pressure, and scaling a business forced me to slow down — and what that revealed about alignment, energy, and direction moving forward. This is not a “do more” episode. It's a recalibration. If you're in a season of reinvention, burnout, or quiet questioning — this conversation will help you release what's no longer serving you and step into 2026 with clarity instead of pressure. Plus, I'm sharing details about the DARE TO DREAM giveaway and my Free January Reset, created to help you start the year grounded, aligned, and intentional.

Text Sue what you think!Many parents expect deschooling to work like a big reset button — pull kids out of school, give it a little time, and everything will fall into place.But when kids seem to be “vegging out,” parents often panic: Is this really how it's supposed to work?In this episode, I unpack what's actually happening in those moments — and why that panic makes sense.Leaving school doesn't automatically erase the habits we learned growing up. Even when unschooling feels right, school-shaped ideas about productivity, pace, comparison, and structure can quietly shape how we interpret learning at home.We'll talk about:Why deschooling isn't instant — and why that's normalWhat kids are actually doing when it looks like “nothing”Why deschooling is active parent work, not passive waitingHow connection, partnership, and shared life replace school-based frameworksWhy successful deschooling doesn't lead kids back to school thinking — it helps school fade into the background entirelyDeschooling isn't about rejecting learning. It's about letting go of patterns that belonged to a system built for sameness — not real families.Read Transcript at the Bloghttps://www.unschoolingmom2mom.com/why-deschooling-is-really-for-parents____________________________DESCHOOLING TOOLKIT - for kids and parents!The practical support resource for parents who find themselves in that in-between space — where unschooling makes sense, but school-shaped thinking keeps creeping back in.The Deschooling Toolkit is a collection of parent supports designed to walk alongside you as you step away from system-focused ideas and sort through what actually supports your family's learning now.

Send us a textGrief doesn't start with a story—it starts as a feeling that we rush to explain. From three quiet days of no notifications to a New Year's dance-floor synchronicity, we unpack how loss, sweetness, envy, and scarcity rise first, and how the mind stitches them to convenient narratives. When we flip that script and simply watch, patterns surface on their own: resistance to being seen, the tug of fantasy, the fear of not-enough. The relief isn't in fixing feelings—it's in relaxed, honest attention.We go deep on relationships as living mirrors. Instead of making a confession to the person we think caused our pain, we explore a gentler path: stop, look, listen. Choose who you're looking with—ego or Spirit—and let the next step reveal itself. Money becomes a neutral symbol, not a verdict. Scarcity loosens when trust grows. Timelines and choices feel less linear and more like threads you can stop gripping. And yes, we talk sex: why fantasy numbs presence, how grasping narrows awareness, and how real connection expands when we drop performance and return to the senses. Annoyance, “robotic” moments, missed strokes—all become invitations to laugh, breathe, and reconnect.This isn't bypass. It's practical forgiveness that you can use anywhere: at a coffee shop when the machine breaks, in bed when the mind chases an outcome, or when envy whispers that someone else got the life you wanted. We share the “succubus” dynamic that often hijacks fresh openings, and how remembering a single purpose—letting Spirit repurpose everything—keeps you anchored. The takeaway is simple and bold: every upset is a doorway. Relax, notice, forgive, and let joy return. If this lands, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review telling us which pattern you're ready to retire.Support the show

In my conversation I speak with author Sarah Billups about her new book, 'Nervous Systems,' which explores the intersection of anxiety, caregiving, and spirituality. We discuss the importance of presence in everyday life, the beauty found in ordinary moments, and the interconnectedness of suffering and joy. Sarah shares her insights on self-kindness, the challenges of caregiving, and the need for compassion in a divided world. Our conversation emphasizes the significance of mindfulness, writing, and the pursuit of love and acceptance as essential elements of living a fulfilling life. Takeaways The importance of presence in enjoying meals and life experiences. Anxiety is a common experience, even for those who don't identify with it. Caregiving can be both challenging and beautiful, offering moments of presence. Finding beauty in ordinary moments can lead to deeper appreciation of life. Suffering and joy are interconnected, providing a fuller understanding of life. Practicing mindfulness can help us slow down and appreciate life. Self-kindness is essential for personal well-being and kindness to others. Learning to lose can foster compassion and understanding in relationships. The pursuit of love and acceptance is a fundamental human desire. Writing can transcend time and connect us with others' experiences.

10 steps on letting go

Your goals aren't failing — your calendar is.In this episode, E and Chris break down why most people start the year motivated… then quietly drift back into old patterns. The problem isn't strategy, tools, or ambition — it's misalignment between who you say you want to become and how you actually spend your time.This conversation dives deep into identity, courage, time audits, consistency, and the hidden habits that either compound your growth or quietly sabotage it.Inside this episode:Why your calendar tells the truth about your real prioritiesThe “perfect week” exercise that exposes misalignment fastWhy every new level requires letting go of your old identityHow fear, comfort, and ego silently slow your progressThe power of small, consistent actions over big intentionsWhy courage often means saying “no,” not “yes”If you've ever felt busy but stuck — this episode will hit home.00:00 – Why New Year Motivation Dies Faster Than You Expect02:05 – The Reality Check: When Goals Collide With Real Life04:20 – The Calendar Test: Do Your Actions Match Your Goals?07:40 – Designing Your “Perfect Week” (And What It Exposes)10:55 – Your Dreams Are Expensive — Here's the True Cost14:30 – Killing the Old Version of Yourself to Level Up17:55 – Faith vs Fear: Making Decisions Without Freezing21:30 – Small Habits That Quietly Compound Massive Change25:10 – Letting Go of Ego to Create Space for Growth29:05 – Enjoyment, Consistency, and Becoming Your Best SelfGet FREE Access to our Community and Weekly Trainings:https://group.strsecrets.com/

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!Letting go of our children isn’t a one-time event; it’s a lifelong process that begins the moment the umbilical cord is cut. Catherine Segars, host of the Christian Parent, Crazy World podcast, joins us this week to discuss the delicate and often difficult transition of releasing our children into the world, biblically and prayerfully. In our conversation, Catherine breaks down the four distinct phases of parenting—Caregiver, Cop, Coach, and Counselor—and warns of the friction that occurs when we try to parent our children from the wrong phase. Jaime unpacks a powerful insight from John 17, illustrating how Jesus modeled healthy detachment by praying for His disciples’ protection from the evil one rather than their removal from the world. You won’t want to miss this empowering episode highlighting the spiritual authority parents hold over what they have "authored," and powerful encouragement that it is never too late to impact your child’s life through prayer—even if they are currently in a prodigal season.

This episode came from realizing that something I called “self-care” was actually costing me more than I wanted to admit. I've spent years talking about living unapologetically - building businesses, raising kids, and helping women step into confidence. But I hadn't fully questioned the expectations I'd absorbed around aging and appearance. Instead of chasing youth, I started asking different questions about sustainability, health, and longevity - especially as a mother later in life. This conversation isn't about rejecting beauty or telling anyone what to do. It's about examining the pressure women quietly live under and deciding what's actually worth keeping. This episode is an honest reflection on aging, identity, and choosing what aligns with the life you want now - not the standards you inherited.

Have you ever known something in your business isn't working, but you keep going anyway because you don't know what else to do?That's what I'm talking about in this episode.I get into why letting go is so bloody hard, especially when you've spent time, money, and energy trying to make something work. A system. An offer. A way of working. At some point, you have to call it and admit it's not doing what you need it to do anymore.This isn't about starting again or learning a whole new thing. Most of the time, it's just about small tweaks. Changing how you work. Letting go of what's clunky and keeping what actually helps.As we head into 2026, I'm talking about reset, reconnect, and change in a way that fits real life.

Rev. Austin Pfeiffer highlights how the beginning of Jesus' public ministry confronts our deep instinct toward self-reliance. In calling fishermen to leave their nets, teaching in synagogues, and healing the afflicted, Jesus exposes the ways we cling to work, religion, control, or productivity to sustain ourselves. Each of these three scenes asks whether we will admit our hunger, weakness, and need, or continue trusting what is familiar and manageable.

Top 3 Value Bombs 1. Success is a subtraction game. Letting go often accelerates growth more than doing more. 2. Hustle culture keeps you busy but stuck; true ROI comes from space, clarity, and intention. 3. Alignment shows up in your body before your calendar, when you ignore it, burnout follows.

What if you knew yourself well enough to know when a decision is aligned on a soul level?As the Year of the Snake comes to a close, we're completing a season of stripping away what no longer fits, what we've outgrown, what we're finally ready to release. What remains beneath it all? And do you trust and know yourself enough to follow it?In this solo episode, Jessica offers a grounded reframe for entering the new year with self-trust and intention—without the pressure of making it your “best year yet.” She explores how real alignment comes from honoring subtle, daily shifts, allowing both expansion and contraction, and making space for embodied “no's” that protect your nervous system and energy.This episode dives into manifestation through the lens of the new paradigm, which is rooted in self-worth, clarity, and ease rather than force. If you're feeling caught between motivation and resistance, this conversation will help you reconnect with your inner knowing and move forward with confidence.Find the complete show notes here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: New Year Sale! - EXTENDEDTake advantage of this miracle portal and join The Pathway to manifest your dream life in 2026!
