Heartbeat Moments: Making Change Simple and Possible
In this honest and reflective solo episode, I invite you into my personal process of simplifying transformation. This conversation is a little self-indulgent—it’s me sharing the thoughts that have been circulating in my mind about why change, transformation, and goal setting so often feel so complicated. I get real about years spent beating myself up for not being “enough” or not achieving enough, and the stories we all tell ourselves about where we “should” be by now.
I walk you through some of the pivotal, heartbeat moments in my life—the ones where I knew, on a deep level, that things had to change. From hopping on my first-ever plane to Australia at 19, to leaving my marriage and becoming a single parent, to quitting jobs and closing businesses, I unpack the catalysts behind those big choices. You’ll hear about how curiosity, pain, and sometimes a drive to prove myself spurred me into action, but how, underneath it all, there was always this belief that something else is possible, even if I couldn’t yet see what that was.
We dig into what keeps us stuck in patterns: the mental loops of telling ourselves we’re not good enough, searching for the “one right way” that doesn’t exist, and falling into overwhelm or burnout. I share a simple three-step framework that shifted everything for me, moving the focus from what to do, to who we are being:
-
From mental noise to embodied clarity—how to switch off the relentless inner chatter and land in your own power and clarity.
-
From self-doubt to self-trust—why transformation isn’t about the latest strategy, but building strong self-trust and emotional resilience.
-
From overwhelm to ownership—learning to pause, take a breath, and own your next step, your boundaries, and your state, rather than spiraling into overwhelm.
We also talk about the tricky idea of “alignment”—how sometimes what’s comfortable isn’t truly aligned, and how the right choices are sometimes the hardest in the moment.
If you’re in a place of transition, growth, or just feeling a little bit stuck, this episode invites you to rethink what simplicity in transformation can look like. Let’s celebrate the possibility that exists in choosing yourself and trusting those heartbeat moments!
