How To Stop Holding Yourself Back

There's something inside of you that knows there's more.

More peace. More purpose. More of you in your own life.

But if you've found yourself waiting, telling yourself "I'm too tired," "It's not the right season," or "I should just be grateful for what I already have," this episode is here to help you pause and question those thoughts.

Because what if those aren't truths...but excuses?

In this episode, I'm sharing the real reason we hold ourselves back and the mindset shifts that helped me (and so many of my coaching clients) step out of feeling stuck and into confidence.

You'll hear:

• How to spot the culprit that tricks you into playing small (even when your heart knows better)
• Common "excuses in disguise" that sound reasonable but keep you stuck and what to do instead
• Five simple ways to begin getting proof you can do it (with confidence), EVEN if fear is still there

This episode is for the mom who's hearing the quiet whisper of "there's more for me..." and is ready to listen.

BONUS Introducing the Divine Time Planner

This is a special bonus episode of The Peaceful Mind Podcast, and I’m sharing something that has been on my heart for a long time.

I created a planner.

Not just any planner.

A planner created for the mom who wakes up with a little feeling of dread for the day ahead.

The one who carries the mental load before her feet even hit the floor.

The one who loves her family deeply but quietly feels scattered and stretched most days.

The Divine Time Planner was created from one core belief:

Productivity isn’t what overwhelmed moms need.

Peace is.

In this episode, I share:

• The reason productivity isn’t the answer for overwhelmed moms

• What makes the Divine Time Planner different from every other planner out there

• How this planner supports your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being

This isn’t another productivity system designed to help you squeeze more into your day.

It’s a gentler approach.

One that helps you clear your mind before you fill your schedule.
One that weaves faith, gratitude, self-care, and intention into your everyday life.

It’s not about getting more out of your day.

It’s about feeling calmer while living it.

If you’ve ever wished for a planning tool that actually supports your peace instead of adding pressure, this might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. 💛

You can see what the planner looks like inside and out by going to daniellethienel.com/planner.

The Super Power of Feeling Your Feelings

One of the most life-changing things I've learned (and now teach) is this:

You don't have to be afraid of your emotions.

Not the heavy ones. Not the uncomfortable ones. Not even the ones you've been avoiding for years.

In this epiosde, I'm sharing a simple, powerful process that helps you actually feel your feelings instead of pushing them down or reacting in ways you don't want to. You'll hear why this is a core piece of my Cyclone Mom Method, and how it leads to the kind of steady, grounded peace that sticks, even when life's a swirl.

You'll learn:

• What happens when we avoid or numb our emotions (and how it shows up in motherhood)
• The exact 5 steps I walk my clients through to process feelings like stress, anger, anxiety, or grief
• Why building emotional strength isn't about staying positive, it's about staying with yourself in every season

If you've ever told yourself, "I shouldn't feel this way," or reached for snacks, your phone, or a quick fix just to avoid the discomfort, this episode will help you.

This one's for the mom who ends her day thinking, "I hate that I yelled again." Or who says, "I just lost it, and I don't even know why."

Maybe you were fine...until you weren't.

Maybe the mess or the eye-roll or the sixth reminder to put on shoes sent you over the edge.

In this episode, I'll walk you through:

• Why yelling really is a signal for

10 Habits To Declutter Your Mind, Home, and Heart

In this episode we're not talking about color-coded pantries or perfectly folded linens. This is about the kind of clutter that builds up quietly (in your brain, in your calendar, in your emotions) and how to start clearing it out with intention and grace.

I'm walking you through 10 simple but powerful habits that can help you feel more peace in your body, your schedule, and your space.

I'll share:

• The one-question morning habit that can change the tone of your whole day
• How to start letting go of physical and emotional clutter, one item or thought at at time
• A new way of thinking about guilt (and what to do with that sweater from 2016)
• Why "transfer moments" matter more than you think
• A journal prompt to end your day with peace instead of mental noise

You don't need to do all 10. Just pick the one that speaks to you and let it be a starting point for something lighter, calmer, and more aligned.

What To Do When Your Child's Choices Challenge Your Values

Your child's decisions don't always line up with what you hoped, taught, or believed would happen. Whether it's faith, relationships, priorities, or how they spend their time, you might find yourself wrestling with fear, confusion, or the urge to fix it.

In this episode, I'm walking you through a better way. One that doesn't mean abandoning your values or pretending you're okay with everything...but does invite you to stay steady, grounded, and curious instead of reactive and anxious.

I'll share:

• What's actually driving your discomfort
• Why trying to control or course-correct often backfires
• A few go-to questions that build connection instead of tension
• How to hold your values without forcing them on your child
• What it looks like to be present and peaceful, no matter their decisions

Because your peace isn't tied to their choices. It begins with yours.
