If you've ever felt stuck in your body, overwhelmed by responsibility, or unsure how to choose yourself without guilt — this episode will hit home.In this conversation, Ryan Kassim sits down with his client Tommy, who shares his deeply personal journey through weight loss, emotional eating, mental health, and self-acceptance. What starts as a desire to improve his health becomes a powerful story of identity, resilience, and learning how to trust himself again.Tommy opens up about growing up as a caretaker, struggling with confidence and self-worth, and navigating the emotional weight of caring for family during illness and loss. He reflects on how food became both comfort and control — and how fitness, especially running, helped him reconnect with his body in a way that felt freeing instead of punishing.This episode isn't about perfection or extreme discipline. It's about taking small steps, setting boundaries, releasing guilt, and learning that self-care isn't selfish — it's necessary.⏱️ Episode Chapters00:00 – Tommy's Journey Begins02:28 – Weight Struggles & the Caretaker Role05:42 – Mindset, Confidence, and Self-Identity08:09 – Family Challenges & Emotional Weight11:01 – Loss, Grief, and Control13:24 – Setting Boundaries & Rebuilding Confidence15:50 – Food Anxiety & Emotional Eating18:56 – Embracing Change & Personal Growth21:37 – Small Steps Toward Independence24:11 – Finding Joy in Fitness & Running27:03 – Reflecting on Progress29:17 – A Major Weight Loss Milestone32:18 – Letting Go & Healing Through Loss35:31 – Honoring Strength & Memories39:09 – Stepping Outside Comfort Zones43:25 – Trusting Yourself & the Process

What does it take to move from surviving to truly thriving? In this powerful conversation, Tonya R. Comer shares her deeply personal journey from a difficult upbringing to becoming a successful interior designer, author, and advocate for purpose-driven success.This episode dives into self-improvement, women empowerment, and personal growth, exploring how self-limiting beliefs quietly shape our decisions and hold us back from the lives we're meant to lead. Tonya explains how many of these beliefs are rooted in fear and false narratives we've absorbed over time — and how emotional healing is key to breaking free.We also unpack the impact of social media on women's self-perception, discussing how comparison culture can distort identity and confidence. Tonya offers thriving strategies to help women reconnect with their truth, develop self-trust, and lead from a place of wholeness rather than performance.A major theme of this episode is leadership through feminine energy — not as weakness, but as a powerful force for balance, empathy, and transformation. Tonya highlights the importance of community, support among women, and purpose-driven leadership in building a more empowered and emotionally healthy world.If you're ready to overcome limiting beliefs, strengthen trust in yourself, and step into aligned, purpose-driven success, this conversation will leave you inspired and equipped with practical insight.
Am I the problem? Is it me and the way that I am showing up? If your business strategy isn't working, your marketing feels stuck, or you keep starting things without finishing them, the issue might not be your strategy. It might be that you don't trust yourself to execute it.You can have the perfect funnel, the perfect offer, the perfect sales process, and still self-sabotage everything if you lack self-trust. I work with scaling entrepreneurs every day who think they need a new strategy when what they actually need is to stop abandoning themselves mid-execution. Your business will never be stable if you as the founder are not stable. I'm breaking down what self-trust actually is in business (spoiler: it's not confidence), the signs you don't trust yourself (asking everyone for opinions before deciding, losing momentum after starting strong, procrastinating on high ROI tasks, overcomplicating simple things, avoiding feedback), how lack of self-trust shows up in your execution and launches, why you keep changing strategies instead of seeing them through, and how to build evidence-based self-trust starting today. This includes the surfboard analogy that will completely reframe how you see your role in business growth.Every day you blame the strategy is a day you ignore that you might be the common denominator. This isn't about blame, it's about opportunity to finally break the pattern.02:41 Defining Self-Trust07:47 Decision Making and Self-Trust11:13 Execution and Momentum14:27 Avoiding Hard Work and Conversations18:02 Leadership and Delegation21:21 Comparison and Self-Trust24:36 The Role of Strategy and Self-Trust30:20 Surfing the Waves of Business Challenges33:07 Self-Sabotage and Personal Accountability33:57 Trusting Yourself in Business and Personal Life35:30 Identifying and Overcoming Self-Sabotage37:14 Building Self-Trust Through Consistency44:18 Navigating Fear and Decision Making46:04 Understanding the Roots of Self-Doubt56:09 The Importance of Self-Trust in Scaling Your BusinessTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

Decision making doesn't get easier as life gets fuller and for many women, the constant stream of choices can feel exhausting. In this episode we unpack what decision fatigue really looks like, how it shows up in work and family life, and why trusting yourself is often the most important part of the process.Abby kicks things off by breaking down what actually makes a “good” decision, drawing from her coaching background and education at UW–Madison. She reminds us that we're always making the best decision we can with the information we have at the time, and explains how the nervous system and personal values play a bigger role in decision making than we often realize.Amy shares behind-the-scenes insight into a recent work decision and reflects on how she gives herself more grace than most women do when it comes to the decision making process. Together, Abby and Amy walk through real-life examples; from building a home, to managing family logistics, and highlight how two people can arrive at the same decision through very different paths.They also explore confidence, indecision, and when it's helpful (or not) to bring other people's opinions into the mix. The episode wraps with a few simple, practical ways they've each reduced daily decision fatigue - small shifts that have made a big difference.If you've ever felt stuck, second-guessed yourself, or wished decisions felt a little lighter, this episode is your reminder that you already have what you need.

If you are in a midlife transition and still finding yourself second guessing every step, you might be stuck waiting for the “right” answer before you move.In this personal reflection, I share what I have seen in my own journey and in the people I work with: how easy it is, once you have left the old structure, to start treating every decision in your new chapter like an exam you can pass or fail.

Send us a textWhy do we start doubting ourselves spiritually the moment life gets hard?So many people on a spiritual path are told that alignment should feel peaceful, flowing, and easy. But when pain, loss, confusion, or uncertainty shows up, it often leads to one quiet question: “Am I doing this wrong?”In this episode, we get real about why spiritual doubt happens during hard seasons — and why struggle is not a sign of failure, disconnection, or misalignment. We talk about the difference between initiation vs punishment, why real growth requires dismantling old identities, and how healing often stirs things up instead of smoothing them over.This is a grounded, honest conversation about spirituality beyond aesthetics and platitudes — one that makes space for grief, confusion, faith, intuition, and the human experience.If you've ever questioned your intuition, your faith, or your connection to God or Spirit because life didn't turn out the way you expected, this episode is for you.✨ In this episode, we explore:Why spirituality is often marketed as peace, flow, and easeHow pain can feel like evidence we failedWhy we internalize blame instead of asking better questionsInitiations vs punishments on a spiritual pathWhy alignment doesn't always feel peacefulHow to stay connected to yourself during uncertaintyYou're not broken. You're not behind.

Today, I interview Desislava Dimitrova, who grew up learning to stay quiet in order to keep the peace. She shares what it was like growing up in a strict home where it did not feel safe to speak, and how being quiet became a way to protect herself from a very young age.A major turning point came later in her life through a serious illness that divided her life into before and after. The long healing process forced her to slow down, listen deeply, and face her biggest fears. Through years of meditation and healing, she began reconnecting with her heart and the deeper knowing that had always been there.Today, Desislava uses her voice to help others slow down and listen to their heart. Through meditation and a personal, intuitive approach, she supports people in finding healing, clarity, and a deeper connection to themselves.__________________Desislava Dimitrova is a holistic whole health consultant with intuitive and healing abilities.

Life isn't supposed to be easy, it is supposed to be yours. This week, we are continuing the conversation from last week's episode, Trusting Yourself, Again. We talked about taking small steps toward the life you actually want. In this episode, we go a little deeper, because no matter what you choose, there is going to be some kind of hard. It is hard to stay stuck. It is hard to be depressed. It is hard to feel anxiety. It is hard to face the unknown. So what if "hard" isn't a reason to stop? What if it is a sign you are alive and moving toward something that matters? Let's talk about choosing your hard and trusting yourself through it. I would love to work with you. You can choose how you would like to work with me. I have three options and all are amazing. You can check that all out here... https://www.amyloganlife.com/workwithme

Welcome to another episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. In this episode I welcome Brittany Heyboar, the dynamic force behind Unlock Her Co, for a deep-dive conversation about embracing our so-called "too muchness" and learning to own it as a superpower. Brittany, a former corporate climber turned subconscious reprogramming and embodied strategy coach, opens up about her lifelong journey of being labeled as "too much"—from her vibrant personality and booming voice to her ambitious presence in the corporate world. She shares powerful personal stories about shrinking herself to fit in, how she finally broke free from self-doubt, and the pivotal role subconscious mind work played in reclaiming her voice. Together, Brittany and I tackle the loaded word "bossy," unpacking why it triggers us, how to shift our relationship with it, and why owning your bossiness can actually be a key to living in alignment with your true self. If you've ever felt like you were "too much," struggled to trust your own instincts, or wondered how to channel your energy and leadership in a way that serves both you and your community—this conversation is your permission slip.

In this thought-provoking episode, Tina Tower dives deep into one of the toughest business conundrums: How do you know when to persevere and when it's time to let an idea go? Tina shares her insights, personal stories, and actionable strategies to help you discern whether you should double down or pivot in your business journey. Whether you're facing resistance that may just be the prelude to a breakthrough, or you sense it's time for a fresh start, this episode gives you the clarity and confidence to make your next move. Key Topics Covered: The Myth of “If It's Hard, It's Wrong” Tina busts the myth that struggle means you're on the wrong path, emphasizing that all good things start hard. She highlights the reality of behind-the-scenes challenges, reminding listeners not to be fooled by the highlight reels of others. Measuring Effort vs. Evidence Learn Tina's framework for evaluating your progress. Are you seeing small signs of life and traction? Or is your idea flatlining after consistent, strategic efforts? She guides you on how to assess your metrics and tweak your approach accordingly. Reconnecting With Your ‘Why' If you're considering a pivot, Tina suggests revisiting your core mission. Are you overly attached to your offer instead of your purpose? She explains why falling in love with your mission—not just the format of your offer—sets you up for sustainable success. Energy Drain vs. Expansion Red flag or green flag? Tina shares the energetic indicators to watch for—like dread, burnout, or fulfillment—and how these can guide your decision to stick or quit. Asking Better Questions Instead of simply debating quitting, Tina provides thought-provoking questions to ask yourself, such as “What would need to change to make this work?” and “Would I want to do this if I didn't have to?” Giving Yourself Permission to Change Without Shame Hear Tina's honest stories of major pivots and identity shifts, and her encouragement to change direction boldly, without fear of looking flaky or failing publicly. Signs to Stick It Out vs. Let It Go Tina breaks down when to persevere (traction, foundational growth, evolving leadership, excitement for the future) and when to walk away (misalignment, ongoing energy drain, sunk cost traps, attachment to what others think). Trusting Yourself and Staying Adaptable The episode closes with powerful reminders to trust your gut, hold your mission firmly, but keep the how flexible. Persistence is noble, but discernment is powerful. Whether you're holding on or letting go, the journey is about trusting yourself, staying true to your mission, and being willing to adapt as you go. Give yourself grace and know that every decision makes you wiser and more resilient.

When life offers you change — whether planned or unexpected — how do you calm your nervous system and move forward anyway?

In this episode, we talk about what it looks like and feels like to trust positive feedback instead of deflecting it, how to reframe “faking it until you make it” as a leadership practice, and how to own and honor the skills and strengths you already bring to the table from your past experiences. We'll also break down how perfectionism shows up in leadership and talk through how releasing that deep internalized perfectionism is one of the most powerful moves you can make, not just for your own well-being, but to model brave, authentic leadership for others. Whether you're stepping into a new role, launching a big initiative, or finding your voice in a room where you're the only one who looks or leads like you, this episode is your reminder that you are more ready than you think. These four truths are mindset shifts and key leadership strategies to help you show up in the face of challenges and new opportunities with clarity, confidence, and courage - and maybe even a little excitement!
