In this episode, Abby shares her late bloomer story with so much honesty and clarity. We talk about what it was like to be in her mid-30s, never having been in a serious relationship, carrying a loud "I'm behind" and "I'm weird" narrative, and feeling totally unsure how to talk about her dating history without spiraling. Abby opens up about moving to a new city, trying to date while feeling embarrassed about her experience, and struggling with the not good enough voice that made her avoid connection. She also shares what shifted for her as she started to process shame, build community, and trust herself enough to take up more space at work, in dating, and in her daily life. Inside this episode, you'll hear: how Abby learned to identify and quiet the "I'm weird" and "I'm behind" voice how belonging helped her stop self-isolating and start connecting what helped her ask for what she wanted (down to "I need 25% more texts") how she advocated for herself at work while doing two jobs how she built friendships, community, and eventually a healthy relationship what she wishes she could tell her past self, who felt so far behind This is a powerful example of what can happen when you stop avoiding your desires and start trusting yourself enough to move toward them.

Today, we're diving headfirst into quantum confidence, identity integrity, and the spiritual physics behind collapsing timelines.

Baby, everything accelerates.In this soulful, truth-telling episode, I break down how to finally embody the woman you've been praying to become. We explore energetic honesty, emotional sobriety, and how to stop negotiating your worth so your destiny can rise to meet you. You'll learn the exact shifts that help you get out of your head, back into your spirit, and aligned with the version of you who's already thriving in the timeline you want to collapse into.If you're ready to stop playing small, stop arguing with your future, and step fully into your Main Character Era, this episode will walk you straight into identity alignment with clarity, conviction, and confidence.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Alright… this one right here? This is your soul-level grounding session for anytime you're stepping back into old environments — the ones that knew a past version of you and still expect her to show up; also AKA your pre-Thanksgiving survival guide for the soul. Because listen — nothing tests your healing like walking back into environments that only know the “old you.” The people-pleaser you. The never-sets-boundaries you. The “sure, I can do it” version you've worked so hard to retire.In this episode, we're talking identity integrity, holiday boundaries, emotional maturity, and stepping into rooms as the healed woman you've become — not the version they're more comfortable with. If you've ever felt yourself shrinking around family, old friend circles, or familiar environments… sis, this is your sign to reclaim your power, hold your energy, and walk in thankful and protected.We'll dive into how to stay grounded, how to lovingly enforce boundaries, and how to show up as your present self without slipping back into outdated roles. Expect spiritual grounding, real talk, gentle conviction, and the kind of coaching that keeps you aligned, unbothered, and in full Main Character Energy.KEY TAKEAWAYS:#1 — You're Allowed to Evolve: Just because they remember who you were doesn't mean you owe them that version now.#2 — Familiarity Doesn't Equal Access: Family knowing the old you does not give them authority over the healed you.#3 — Protect Your Peace, Not Their Comfort: Boundaries aren't rude — they're respect for your growth and your nervous system.#4 — Choose Responses, Not Reactions: Slow down, breathe, and let your healed self answer… not the version trained to perform.#5 — Your Identity Is Sacred: This year, your Main Character Energy walks in first — grounded, grateful, and gloriously unbothered.THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP — THE IDENTITY INTEGRITY EDITION:Friend… this is your anchor. Your warm-up. Your spiritual pre-game before stepping into any environment where old energy tries to pull on you. Use this 2-Step anytime you feel yourself wobbling — holidays, reunions, old friend hangouts, all of it.✨ Step 1: Name the Version They Expect — and Release HerBefore you walk into that house, pause and ask: “Who do they think I still am?” The fixer? The peacekeeper? The quiet one? The emotional sponge? Name it so you can release it. Call it out so it can't call you back.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEYou ever notice how some leaders make everything feel like a Ciara video—energy high, rhythm right, everyone shining in their lane—and others make every day feel like a horror-movie sequel you didn't audition for?
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:You ever have one of those mornings where your alarm goes off and before your feet even hit the floor, your brain's already sprinting a marathon? That was me — deep in my wake-up-and-grind era. I thought hustle meant purpose. That the more I did, the more I mattered. But here's the truth: busyness isn't purpose — it's a distraction from alignment.In this episode, we're redefining success from the inside out. You'll learn how to stop running on hustle fumes and start operating on peace fuel. We're getting real about what it means to live and lead from alignment — emotionally, spiritually, and energetically — so your peace isn't sacrificed for your productivity.Friend, this one's a heart check and a blueprint all in one. If you've been feeling stretched thin, restless, or like you're constantly doing but not becoming, this is your permission slip to slow down and sync up. Peace is not a pause in progress — it's the foundation that sustains it.

You are THE main character of your story. In this episode, I speak on how important it is to realize the story can't write unless you acknowledge your role in your own script.
What if everything you thought about your pain was backwards? What if you're not the hero who has to fix it all - you're the supporting character in a story God is writing about Jesus? This convicting message exposes the trap of "emotional vampirism" - making your pain your identity and draining everyone around you while refusing to surrender to Christ. Discover why your crisis is God's platform, why His delays reveal deeper love, and how your suffering writes a story about Jesus that brings others to faith.

On the show today is none other than Star Monroe! We've got an incredible conversation about how to embrace - strut! - into main character energy (and what the truly means), as well as how to decenter men and center your fine self! A few topics discussed include internal vs. external validation, seeing the world through the male gaze, what happens to the ego during times of self doubt, the importance of embodying healing (and how to do it), the truth about authenticity, and more. After the main interview, the mics stayed hot once more and the Flirt Coach ... got coached! You don't wanna miss this moment. Then for the second segment of this episode, I've got a meditation for you on cultivating inner confidence that pairs perfectly with Star's interview. You can listen to it driving, but at least pull over to do the practice!

Is AI killing creativity or quietly making creators better? In this episode, Katelyn sits down with director and brand creator Alaina Booth to unpack how to combine Main Character Energy with a practical AI strategy that actually grows your brand. Alaina shares lessons from filming weddings, music videos, and brand campaigns, and explains why every high-performing post starts with a simple story arc: character, world, conflict, transformation. You'll learn how to spot your unique “weird,” turn it into a repeatable content lens, and use AI to remove resistance so you can publish consistently without sounding like a robot. We dig into short-form video, hooks and captions that convert, and how Stanley AI analyzes your voice, audience signals, and saved inspirations to serve daily ideas that feel like you. Alaina breaks down where AI helps most (ideation, scripting, packaging) and where human instincts must lead (shooting, editing, creative decisions). If you've been posting without traction or over-consuming and under-creating, this conversation will reset how you think about branding, storytelling, and momentum. You'll learn: Story arcs 101 for Instagram and Reels Using AI to cut resistance and spark ideas Finding your “weird” and turning it into a brand lens Where to draw the human vs AI line in your workflow Building consistency without scrolling yourself into comparison Links: Follow Alaina on IG @laina.booth Follow Katelyn on IG: @thekatelynrhoades Try Stanley AI: https://stanley-ig.ai/ and then use code CALLHERCREATOR for $10 OFF!

How often do you feel like you're living your life for everyone else? Always showing up. Always giving. Always putting your own needs last. It's easy to slip into that role without even realizing it — until one day you wake up and realize you're not living as the main character in your own story. In this episode of Sales is NOT a Dirty Word, I'm joined by Jackie Roby, Relationship Mindset Coach and founder of Inspired Journey Consulting, to talk about what it really takes to step into your main character energy. Jackie shares how her MAGIC Methodology helps women of color and allies stop over-giving, drop the hustle culture, and reclaim their sense of self-worth. Here's what you'll hear: ✔ Why so many women fall into the “side character” trap ✔ How hustle culture quietly robs us of joy and identity ✔ The link between generational patterns and burnout ✔ How to start rewriting the story you're living right now If you've been feeling exhausted and drained with no joy or fulfillment to show for it, this episode is for you. Jackie's mission is to help women rewrite their stories and start living unapologetically.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Pull up a spot on the couch, friend—this one's a full-body exhale. Today we're talking self-empowerment, self-acceptance, and what really happens when you water down your truth to stay “likable.” If you've ever dimmed to keep the peace, said “sorry” when you meant “thank you,” or edited your brilliance to fit the room…this is your permission slip to stop. We're normalizing the shrink (nervous system stuff, not character flaws), practicing emotional regulation so your voice lands like truth—not tension—and choosing authenticity over approval, every time. You'll get clean language for boundaries and a grounded journaling moment to reconnect with what you really think, need, and want. Expect a loving nudge, a firm standard, and that hit of Main Character Energy that reminds you who you are. This is personal growth you can feel and self-love you can act on—because confidence isn't a mood; it's a practice.KEY TAKEAWAYS:You do not have to apologize for your power.Shrinking is a nervous system strategy, not your identity.You are not dramatic. You are accurate.Most sorry's are fear in a trench coat.You don't have to ‘sorry' your way out of your own power.Your frequency will be too expensive for some, and that's okay.You are no longer available to silence or censor yourself.We don't shrink, we shine.You are safe to be yourself, so keep creating your own safety.Plus: Emotional regulation makes authenticity land; boundaries protect self-acceptance; journaling reveals the next brave ask; confidence grows by reps, not permission.CHAPTERS:00:00 Embracing Your Power02:37 Recognizing and Honoring Your Truth04:56 Practicing Self-Recognition and Acceptance07:44 Understanding Shrinking and Self-Abandonment09:35 The Cost of Silence and Self-Betrayal11:47 Apologizing and Setting Boundaries13:55 Power Leaks and Reparenting Yourself16:00 Communicating Boundaries with Clarity19:17 The Importance of Self-Respect21:51 Accepting Compliments and Acknowledging Your Worth23:27 Self-Love in Action25:13 Navigating Relationships and Boundaries27:19 The Signal of Shrinking29:04 Choosing Wholeness Over Scarcity31:12 Final Thoughts on Power and Authenticity38:37 Empowerment Through Sharing and ConnectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP:When life starts pulling you back into people-pleasing, come home to this quick reset. It's your on-the-spot ritual for self-empowerment, authenticity, and nervous-system safety so your confidence isn't negotiable. The Self-Love 2-Step (Your Signature Reset) Step 1 — Self-Recognition: Say out loud: “I honor the woman I am and the power I carry. I do not apologize for being who God made me to be.”Step 2 — Self-Respect in Action: Do the next aligned thing without a disclaimer: send the pitch, keep the price, hold the boundary, accept the compliment with a “thank you.”(Do this today. The self you're becoming will thank you.)
ABOUT THIS EPISODEPull up a cozy seat on the couch, friend—this one's personal. If you've felt the sting of rejection in business, relationships, or life and your confidence took a hit, this episode is your breath back. We're reframing the “no” as a reroute (not a resignation), calming the nervous system, and rebuilding from a place of self-awareness, self-love, and resilience—so your personal growth isn't just a quote on your vision board, it's your everyday mindset.I walk you through my Five C's Comeback framework, how to partner with your ego instead of battling it, and how to stack tiny, courageous wins that rebuild empowerment you can feel. Expect real talk, gentle soul-work, a little sass, and the practical steps that get you moving again—with Main Character Energy leading the way. If you're ready to nurture your dream like a living thing, celebrate micro-wins, and journal your way back into your power—hit play. Your comeback starts here.KEY TAKEAWAYSYou didn't lose confidence; you lost context.Main Character Energy is a decision, not just a vibe.Rejection isn't a verdict; it's direction.Setbacks are invitations to evolve—personal growth in real time.Confidence compounds through small, celebrated wins.Your ego is a protector—update it, don't exile it.Self-awareness + mindset + self-love = sustainable empowerment.Every “no” is building precision for the right fit.Nurture your dreams like a living thing—presence over perfection.CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome to the comeback journey05:06 The role of the ego in rejection09:59 The five c's comeback framework13:28 Practical steps for confidence building17:15 Nurturing your dreams and future self34:52 Empowerment through sharing and connectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEPWhen the fall shakes you, this is how we lead ourselves with self-awareness, mindset, and self-love—out loud. Think of it as a quick nervous-system reset and an identity reminder you can use anywhere (yes, even in the car before the meeting). These two lines bring your power, confidence, and resilience back online—fast.STEP 1 — ACKNOWLEDGE “I acknowledge the sting and how hard I tried. I'm staying with the part of me that feels scared.”STEP 2 — AFFIRM THE ASSIGNMENT “This isn't punishment; it's preparation. I'm qualified for this moment. I can start again—wiser, lighter, more aligned.”Say it in your own voice—your body believes you.
ABOUT THIS EPISODERemember when you were little, you believed you could be anything. Astronauts, artists, CEO, even Barbie had the wardrobe and accessories to prove it. But somewhere along the way, the message shifted. Instead of “you can do anything,” it became “be realistic, don't want too much.” And just like that, so many women were conditioned to check their dreams at the door.In this empowering episode, we're ripping up that outdated script and writing a new one. I'm diving into how you can embrace your Main Character Energy, remix those classical roles like mom, wife, employee, and leader, and infuse them with the bold desires of your heart. We're talking authenticity, women empowerment, self-love, community, and what it really means to expand instead of shrink.You'll learn why failure isn't the opposite of success—it's the pathway to it, how to reconnect with your buried dreams (or dream a brand new one), and a secret method I usually only share with clients.If you've been feeling restless, unfulfilled, or like your desires are “too much,” this episode is your permission slip to stop playing small and start believing in infinite possibilities for your life.KEY TAKEAWAYSIt's time to reconnect with what you really want.Main character energy is a decision, not just a vibe.You can have it all without shrinking yourself.Failure is a pathway to success, not the opposite.Dreams can evolve as you grow; it's okay to change them.The possibilities for your life are infinite.CHAPTERS00:00 Rediscovering Dreams and Ambitions08:25 The Power of Authenticity and Support18:02 Redefining Failure and Success26:46 Embracing Infinite Possibilities31:34 Empowerment Through Sharing and ConnectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEPHere's the part that makes it simple and powerful—because you know I love giving you practical tools. The Self-Love 2-Step is your way to start moving toward your dreams without overwhelm.✨ Step 1: Name the Dream. Write down one dream you've been shrinking, shelving, or secretly sketching in your mind. Don't edit. Don't apologize. Just name it. If nothing comes to mind right away, give yourself grace. Dreams often show up through journaling, reflecting, or following what sparks joy. Remember—clarity comes through curiosity, not pressure.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Hey friend—tell me if this sounds familiar: you're showing up, doing all the things, checking the boxes, putting in the work… and yet it feels like nothing's changing. You start to wonder, “Am I even moving forward, or am I just running in circles?”I've been there, and I know how discouraging that can feel. But let me pour into you with this truth: you are not stuck, you are not behind, and you are absolutely not wasting your effort. Progress isn't always obvious—it's often invisible at first, happening beneath the surface like roots digging deep before a flower blooms. That's where confidence, empowerment, and transformation are built—in the quiet, hidden layers of personal growth and self-discovery.In this episode of Confident & Empowered – The Encourage Over Everything Show, we're unpacking how to recognize the invisible signs of growth, release the “should's” that keep you stuck, and embody your main character's energy even when the results aren't showing up yet. This is your reminder that every step, every choice, every drop of effort counts. You're not just trying—you're transforming. And friend, you are so much closer than you think.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Confidence isn't a vibe, it's a decision.You become confident by embodying it right now.Progress doesn't always clap its hands and announce itself.Your progress is already in motion.Growth is messy. It's non-linear.You are not stuck, you are steady.What if you're not behind at all?This detour, this delay, it's by divine design.You are closer than you think.Just because you can't see it doesn't mean you are not blooming.CHAPTERS:00:00 The Illusion of Stagnation03:36 Understanding Invisible Progress05:21 Spotting Hidden Shifts in Mindset05:53 The Non-Linear Nature of Growth08:01 Personal Stories of Growth and Transformation11:32 Reframing Expectations and Trusting the Process13:43 Celebrating Small Wins and Consistency17:23 Embracing the Journey and Trusting the Reroute19:42 Empowerment Through Sharing and ConnectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP:When progress feels invisible, this simple practice will remind you you're moving forward:Step 1: Spot Your Shift Ask: “What's one way I've grown in the last 6 months?” Maybe it's stronger boundaries, bouncing back faster, or simply not giving up. That's growth.Step 2: Celebrate Your Consistency Celebrate showing up—because the fact that you're still here, still trying, still moving? That's proof you're unstoppable.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Let's be real, Queen — hustle isn't bad. Hustle has its place. As ambitious women, we know there are seasons where hustle is necessary: building something from scratch, pushing through deadlines, or juggling the roles of mom, partner, leader, and visionary. Hustle can prepare the ground for greatness — but hustle was never meant to be your lifestyle.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really means to balance hustle with overflow. Because overflow is where your self-love, confidence, and empowerment truly shine. Overflow is when your productivity is fueled by rest and rejuvenation, not depletion. It's when you stop running on fumes and start living in fullness — in life, love, and leadership.Together, we'll talk about how to know when hustle is healthy or harmful, how to recondition yourself for overflow, and why learning to receive is one of the most powerful personal growth practices you'll ever master. By the end, you'll feel equipped to shift from grind to grace, so you can chase your ambitions without sacrificing your well-being.If you've ever felt like hustle was running you instead of fueling you, this conversation is for you. Because you don't just deserve to achieve — you deserve to overflow.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Hustle has its place, but it should never become a lifestyle.Healthy hustle is fueled by purpose, harmful hustle by proving.Overflow is a state of alignment, creativity, and confidence.Rest and rejuvenation are essential to real productivity.Self-love is what bridges hustle into overflow.You are worthy of joy, rest, and peace without having to “earn” it.CHAPTERS:00:00 The Necessity of Hustle11:03 The Self-Love Two-Step14:14 Recognizing Healthy vs. Harmful Hustle17:49 The Art of Receiving24:07 Empowerment Through Sharing and Connection✨THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: FROM HUSTLE TO OVERFLOWHere's the truth: shifting from hustle to overflow doesn't require a full lifestyle overhaul — it takes a simple, intentional reset. Your bridge from grind to grace.Step 1: Pause Before the Push When you feel yourself grinding on empty — racing, overthinking, or saying “yes” out of guilt — stop. Place your hand on your heart, close your eyes, and take 3 slow breaths. Ask yourself: “Am I doing this from fear, or from fullness?”Step 2: Choose Your Overflow Ritual Pick one nourishing action to refill: a 5-minute walk, a glass of water, stretching, journaling gratitude, dancing to your favorite song, prayer, or simply silence. The point isn't perfection — it's replenishment. This is how you condition overflow, one reset at a time.
EPISODE 378 - AIRDATE 05/12/2025 MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY This week on Dream Infringement, we're embracing Main Character Energy. We've each picked songs that make us feel like the protagonist of our own story, the soundtrack for walking into a room, staring out a window dramatically, or conquering life's little battles. Tune in for a playlist that proves sometimes the world really does revolve around you.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Confidence doesn't disappear overnight—it slips away every time you ignore your own voice. And the way back? One small act of self-trust at a time.If you've ever found yourself polling the room, second-guessing every decision, or outsourcing your choices to everyone else, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. I'm pulling back the curtain on my own journey of constantly asking others what I should do—until life forced me to finally listen to myself. What I discovered changed everything: self-trust is the secret sauce to confidence, and confidence is the key that unlocks every door you're waiting to walk through.By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly why self-trust erodes, how to rebuild it (without waiting to “feel ready”), and the ripple effect it has on your life, love, and leadership. This isn't just theory—it's a formula. And Queen, once you start using it, your confidence won't just grow—it'll soar.KEY TAKEAWAYSConfidence isn't the starting point—it's the byproduct of self-trust.Self-trust is built through small promises kept, not grand gestures.Mistakes aren't permanent marks—they're invitations for growth.Every experience teaches you how to trust yourself better.Celebration reinforces your identity as trustworthy.Self-trust shifts how you show up in life, love, and leadership.CHAPTERS00:00 Embracing Main Character Energy01:00 The Journey to Self-Trust03:58 Building Self-Trust as a Foundation09:22 Rebuilding Self-Trust: The Self-Love Two-Step16:07 The Ripple Effect of Self-Trust20:11 Granting Yourself Permission to Trust21:12 Accelerating Your Confidence JourneyTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: THE SELF-TRUST FORMULASo now that you see why self-trust gets shaky, let's talk about how to actually rebuild it. Rebuilding self-trust doesn't require giant leaps—it starts with something far smaller but way more powerful.✨ Step 1: Keep a Micro-Promise Real confidence is built in micro-moments. Every little promise you keep is a deposit in your “self-trust bank account.” Wake up when you said you would? Deposit. Ten-minute walk instead of scrolling? Deposit. Drink that glass of water? Deposit. These tiny wins prove to your brain: “I do what I say I'll do. I can trust myself.”✨ Step 2: Celebrate the Keep Here's the part most women skip. Celebration isn't fluff—it's identity reinforcement. Every time you pause and say, “Yes, I kept my word to myself,” you reinforce the truth: “I am a woman who can be trusted.” Without celebration, it's just a task. With celebration, it's transformation.Listen to the full episode for examples of micro-celebrations and why this method works.
ABOUT THIS EPISODEOkay friend — you've done the work to decide who you are now (YAY!). You're walking in your Main Character Energy (WHOOP WHOOP!). You're claiming your identity and showing up differently. But then… boom. A trigger hits, and suddenly you catch yourself reacting like the old you.Does that mean you've failed? Absolutely not. Slipping back is part of the process. In this episode, I'm unpacking how to recognize those moments without shame, how to re-anchor into your chosen identity quickly, and how to keep building momentum even when you fall into old patterns.This is about real-life transformation — not perfection. Because living as your new identity doesn't mean you never slip back, it means you know how to spot it, shift it, and stay committed to the version of you that you've decided to be. And the more you practice, the stronger your self-trust becomes.KEY TAKEAWAYSYou are worthy, ready, and already becoming the version of you who leads her life.Main character energy is a decision, not just a vibe.Your era isn't coming; it's already here.Recognize and love the old versions of yourself for their lessons.Slipping back into old patterns is normal and part of growth.Awareness of slipping back is a win, not a failure.You can reset your intentions at any moment.Create an environment that supports your new identity.Small daily decisions strengthen your new identity.Confidence is built through consistent action and self-acceptance.CHAPTERS00:00 Embracing Your New Identity09:37 Recognizing and Addressing Slips Back17:12 Building Resilience and Commitment to Change18:23 Empowerment Through Sharing and Connection✨ THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEPLiving as your new identity isn't about perfection — it's about commitment. And the fastest way to strengthen that commitment is to make it simple and doable every day. Think of it as your daily identity anchor — the thing that pulls you back into alignment with who you've decided to be.
EP 230. Main Character Energy — Reclaim Your Identity and Redefine Who You AreABOUT THIS EPISODEMain Character Energy – How to Decide Who You Are (Even After the World Already Defined You)Let's be real: the world has been trying to name you since birth. Parents, teachers, friends, exes, bosses — everybody has an opinion on “who you are.” And if you're not careful, you'll spend your whole life reacting to their labels instead of boldly choosing your own identity.In this episode, we're ripping off those outdated name tags and talking about how to decide who you are — even after the world already tried to decide for you. Because the truth is, you don't have to live trapped in old roles or past versions of yourself. You get to redefine, reinvent, and rise… starting today.This is your permission slip to stop letting old labels, roles, and criticism run the show. You are not frozen in time. You are not stuck in “who you used to be.” You are free to step into your Main Character Energy right now — and trust me, when you do, the world will adjust.
You've heard of main character energy, but what happens when life doesn't feel like a movie montage and you're stuck in the messy middle?
