  • When ‘Having It All’ Isn’t Enough - E043 Alese Johnston
    Apr 21 2026

    IN THIS EPISODE

    What would you do if the life you built… no longer felt like yours?

    In this powerful and deeply human conversation, I sit down with Alese Johnston, who made a bold and unconventional decision at 69 years old—she walked away from a life that looked beautiful on the outside but felt misaligned on the inside.

    This isn’t a story about loss.
    It’s a story about truth, courage, and what becomes possible when you finally listen to yourself.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re living a life that looks right but doesn’t feel right, this episode will hit home.

    ✨ In This Episode, We Explore:

    The quiet realization that your life no longer fits
    Why “having it all” can still leave you unfulfilled
    The courage it takes to walk away—from identity, comfort, and expectations
    What it actually means to “start over” later in life
    How curiosity can become your compass
    Letting go of everything that no longer aligns (literally and emotionally)
    Redefining success on your own terms

    🔑 Key Takeaway:

    Reinvention isn’t reckless—it’s honest.
    And it’s never too late to choose a life that truly feels like your own.

    💭 Questions to Reflect On:

    Where in my life am I settling for “good enough”?
    What feels out of alignment that I’ve been avoiding?
    If I trusted myself fully… what would I change?

  • You Can’t Heal What You Won’t Face - Victoria Lefebre (E042)
    Mar 31 2026

    Description:

    What happens when the life you’ve built starts breaking you?

    In this powerful conversation, I sit down with holistic midlife strategist Victoria Lefebre, who shares the moment everything changed—standing in front of a mirror, exhausted, overwhelmed, and realizing she didn’t even recognize herself anymore.

    She THOUGHT she was doing everything right
    Taking care of her family.
    Running a business.
    Holding it all together.

    And yet—her body was shutting down.

    This episode is about what happens when you can’t push through anymore…
    …and why the healing you’re avoiding is what will change everything.

    You can’t bypass your way into healing.
    You can’t outwork it.
    You can’t positive-think your way around it.

    At some point… you have to face it.

  • The Cost of Ignoring Your Inner Voice - Heidi Wells (E041)
    Mar 9 2026

    What if the voice you stopped trusting is the one that could change your life?

    In this episode of The Secret of My Success, Erin Currin sits down with NLP and hypnotherapy practitioner Heidi Wells to talk about what it takes to finally listen to your intuition after years of ignoring it.

    After spending 20 years in a marriage she knew deep down wasn’t right, Heidi began to recognize the patterns that had kept her stuck—fear, religious expectations, trauma responses, and a lifetime of second-guessing herself.

    “Twenty years of really not trusting myself, when I had a lot of little nudges and knowings…”

    In this conversation, Heidi shares how chronic illness, nervous system shutdown, and deep inner work eventually forced her to confront the truth—and reclaim her voice.

    You’ll hear about:
    • Why we override our intuition
    • How trauma patterns keep us stuck in relationships
    • What the nervous system has to do with healing
    • The danger of outsourcing your inner wisdom
    • How learning to trust yourself changes everything

    “If you haven't already, go spend time with yourself. I think that that's where it will be.”

    If you’ve ever wondered whether the life you’re living is really yours, this conversation will resonate deeply.

    *******************************
    In This Episode
    • Why we ignore our intuition—even when we know something is wrong
    • The impact of trauma patterns and attachment wounds in relationships
    • How chronic stress and emotional suppression affect the body
    • The difference between religious structure and personal faith
    • Why thoughts are often just stories our brain creates
    • The role of the nervous system in healing and emotional regulation
    • How learning to ask “What do I really want?” changes everything
