When the path you've always followed no longer feels right, it takes immense courage to choose a different way - especially when there's no roadmap.

In this heartfelt episode of Your Worth, Your Way, I’m joined by Renee DeVore, founder of Soul Growth, who shares her bold and beautiful journey of walking away from a 25-year career in education to rediscover her truth. Renee didn’t have a plan - just a deep knowing that life wasn’t aligned anymore. What followed was a season of uncertainty, surrender, and ultimately soul-led clarity.

Together, we explore what it really means to let go of who you think you should be, in order to uncover who you truly are. If you’ve ever felt the pull for something more but fear the unknown, this episode will meet you right in the middle of that tender truth.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✔ You don’t need to have it all figured out to take the first step - clarity often comes after action.

✔ There is no “perfect timing” - courage is required to move before certainty appears.

✔ Your soul knows when you’re not aligned. Learning to trust that inner knowing changes everything.

✔ Rest is not quitting. Pausing to reset is often where the real clarity emerges.

✔ You’re allowed to evolve. You don’t need permission to want more for your life.

So many women find themselves quietly questioning, “Is this really it?” while juggling responsibilities, identities, and the constant pull to keep everyone else happy. In this honest and empowering episode, I’m joined by Therese Skelly - intuitive business mentor, transformational coach, and author of Love-Based Mission - for a heartfelt conversation about the hidden identities we wear, and what happens when we finally choose to let them go.

Therese shares her raw and courageous story of navigating personal trauma, caretaking through crisis, and rising through the messy middle to reconnect with her true self. Together, we explore how ancestral and cultural conditioning shapes how we show up, why so many women feel stuck in patterns of overgiving, and how you can begin to reclaim your energy, worth, and joy - starting today.

This episode is for the woman who’s been holding it all together but secretly longs to break free. You’ll walk away with practical insights and gentle reminders that you are already enough.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✔ Your pain holds purpose - if you’re willing to alchemise it into wisdom.

✔ Overgiving is often a sign of unhealed identity patterns, not your personality.

✔ Your soul already knows the next step - you just need to listen and trust.

✔ Reclaiming your worth starts with releasing the roles that no longer serve you.

✔ You don’t have to wait for a breakdown to choose a breakthrough.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in overwhelm, running on autopilot, or self-sabotaging just when things start going well - this episode is a must-listen.

This week I’m joined by coach, speaker, and founder of the Possibilities Conference, Kiersten Lortz, to unpack the neuroscience behind why change feels so hard - and how to shift your mindset so you can finally create the life you want. Kiersten’s TIME TO THRIVE method blends brain science, lived experience, and practical tools to help ambitious women stop the cycle of burnout and begin living with clarity, ease, and confidence.

From the myth of “not enough time” to the deeper stories we unconsciously tell ourselves, this conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder: your brain isn’t broken - it’s just doing its job. And you get to teach it a new way.

Key Takeaways from This Episode

✔ Your brain prioritises safety over happiness - change feels unsafe unless we rewire it with intention.

✔ Self-sabotage often stems from outdated stories - once you become aware of them, you can choose differently.

✔ You do have time - you just need the right systems and boundaries.

✔ Joy and success don't have to be earned through stress and exhaustion.

✔ The path to transformation starts with one small aligned action at a time.

In this heartfelt episode, I’m joined by Michi DeLucien - life coach, energy healer, and vibrant midlife Mompreneur - for a soul-nourishing conversation on what it really means to live in alignment.

Michi opens up about growing up in a loving but emotionally complex home, navigating toxic relationships, and the moment she realised she deserved more. Through her story, we explore the power of energy healing, the importance of nervous system regulation, and the everyday practices that help us reconnect to our bodies and our worth.

We dive deep into why so many women feel stuck, overwhelmed, and out of touch with themselves - and how we can begin to change that by tuning in and shifting our energy from the inside out.

If you’re craving more ease, joy, and grounded confidence, this episode is your reminder: You are worthy of more. And it starts with your energy.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✔ Everything is energy - what’s going on internally will show up externally

✔ You can’t think your way to clarity if your nervous system is dysregulated

✔ True alignment begins with safety in the body - start with grounding practices

Laughter is more than a fleeting moment of joy - it’s a powerful healing tool that helps us reconnect to ourselves, release emotional pressure, and regulate our nervous system. In this heartwarming and energising episode, I’m joined by Cathy Nesbitt, laughter wellness advocate and laughter yoga leader, who shares her journey from deep grief to joyful embodiment through the most unexpected modality: laughter.

Together, we explore how laughter helps move stuck energy, process unspoken pain, and create space for joy even in the midst of hardship. Cathy reminds us that joy is not something we have to earn - it’s something we can access right now, with a smile, a giggle, or even a deep belly laugh.

Whether you’re navigating grief, stress, or simply feeling disconnected from your inner light, this episode is a joyful nudge back to yourself.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✔ Laughter is a natural, accessible way to shift your state and release stored emotion.

✔ Grief and joy can coexist - and laughter can be a bridge between them.

✔ Your body doesn’t know the difference between real and intentional laughter - it responds the same way.

✔ Laughter helps calm the nervous system, ease anxiety, and reconnect you with presence.

✔ You don’t need to wait for a reason to laugh - your healing can start now.

Grief doesn’t always look like we expect it to - and healing rarely follows a straight line. In this deeply moving episode of Your Worth, Your Way, I’m joined by breathwork facilitator and grief recovery specialist Brenda Mundt, who shares her profound journey of losing her husband unexpectedly and how that heartbreak became the catalyst for her transformation.

We explore how grief touches more than death - showing up in identity shifts, emotional overwhelm, and disconnection from ourselves. Brenda opens up about how transformational breathwork helped her release unprocessed pain, reconnect with her worth, and honour her healing in a deeply embodied way. Together, we unpack the layers of loss, identity, and how joy can still exist alongside heartbreak.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode, unsure of who you are without the roles you’ve always played, or afraid to claim joy in the midst of grief - this episode will meet you where you are.

✔️ Grief is more than death - It includes identity loss, role changes, and emotional disconnection.

✔️ You don’t have to “move on” to heal - Healing is about honouring your pain and allowing space for transformation.

✔️ Breathwork is a powerful tool - It helps release stuck emotions without needing to “talk it out.”

✔️ Guilt can show up even in joy - And there are ways to reframe that feeling with compassion and truth.

✔️ Joy and grief can coexist - You’re allowed to dance, smile, and feel alive again… even after deep loss.

Many of us reach a point where we no longer recognise the woman in the mirror. We’ve spent so long being who we thought we should be - playing roles, pleasing others, holding it all together - that we’ve lost touch with who we really are.

In this deeply healing episode, I’m joined by Sarah Brown-Haté - soul-based mentor, healer, and teacher - who shares her powerful journey of unravelling layers of conditioning, reclaiming her truth, and learning how to trust her intuition again. We talk about how childhood wounds, inner masks, and societal expectations keep women stuck in self-doubt and overgiving… and what it really takes to break free.

This is a soulful conversation on radical responsibility, intuitive living, and how to gently rediscover the woman you've always been beneath it all.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected, uncertain, or afraid to truly be yourself - this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✔ You don’t need permission to change your life - start by taking radical responsibility for your own healing.

✔ Intuition isn’t a big mystery; it’s a quiet knowing you can learn to trust.

✔ Childhood wounds don’t need to define you - healing begins with curiosity and compassion.

✔ You can’t access your truth until you quiet the noise of others’ opinions.

✔ Small practices like gratitude and joy jars can reignite your spark and reconnect you to yourself.
