  Guest: Ashley Stahl — former counter-terrorism pro, career coach, bestselling author of U-Turn, host of the U-Turn Podcast, founder of Wise Whisper Agency (TEDx + speaking career development)Episode SummaryAt 24, Ashley landed the “dream job” in national security—and immediately felt the misalignment. In this masterclass on identity, discernment, and career clarity, she unpacks the “turn signals” that told her to pivot, the 10 Core Skill Sets framework from U-Turn, and a clean distinction between instinct and intuition.

If you’re in transition—or ready to deepen into mastery—this is your episode.Key TopicsTurn Signals vs. Rationalization: How your body flags misalignment before your mind can justify it.Values + Skill Set: The “what” (skill set) and the “how” (values) must agree—or you’ll pay for it in energy.Identity Work: Why every evolution requires releasing an old identity (“no grief, no glory”).Soul Line vs. Goal Line: Achieve without bargaining against your soul.Three Lily Pads: Fine → Gift → Flow (and how to move between them).Instinct vs. Intuition: Animal alarm vs. wise whisper—and a micro-practice to hear the latter.Core Skill Sets: A preview of Ashley’s 10; how energy (introvert/extrovert) filters the right expression of your gift.Process Over Speed: Impatience is expensive; honor the experiment.AI & Intimacy: Use the tool—don’t outsource your humanity.Memorable Quotes“You don’t need to convince yourself to do what’s aligned.”“Every new chapter asks for a new identity.”“Don’t do what you love. Do what you are.”“The worst time-sucks often arrive dressed as great opportunities.”“Never rob someone of the dignity of their process.”Micro-Practice: Hearing IntuitionSlow down (one minute: eyes soft, breath steady).Name the signal: “This feels like fear / this feels like a quiet yes/no.”Act lightly: Take the smallest aligned next step; observe the energy it creates.Timestamps00:02 – Welcome + series frame: integrity in teaching02:38 – Age 24: “dream job,” misalignment, values conflict06:10 – Turn signals vs. over-rationalizing10:46 – Money, meaning, and the 10th-birthday luggage story13:55 – From Pentagon to coaching: burning through 2,000 alumni calls17:47 – Identity, grief, and letting iterations go24:28 – Deepak, desire, and becoming who you are26:49 – Soul line vs. goal line (and the “LinkedIn line”)29:52 – Three lily pads: Fine → Gift → Flow34:01 – Instinct vs. intuition (wise whispers)36:06 – Core Skill Sets—words, numbers, coordination, service…39:59 – What Ashley may write next (great talks, TEDx)40:54 – The dignity of process; impatience is expensive43:23 – AI as tool, not intimacy; keep humanity at the center45:01 – How to work with Ashley (Wise Whisper Agency)Resources & LinksAshley’s book: U-Turn - Ashley’s TEDx: “How to Figure Out What You Really Want”

  Our esteemed guest is Beatriz Victoria Albina, nurse practitioner, somatic coach, speaker; creator of the term Emotional Outsourcing; host of Feminist Wellness; author of the forthcoming book Emotional Outsourcing (book page); more on Bea at beatrizalbina.com.If you’ve ever felt your worth was tied to how useful you are, Bea offers a science-backed, somatic path out of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and codependency—so you can become your own guiding light.Why this teacher matters: “Bea understands that when we stop outsourcing our worth, we finally come home to ourselves, because she has learned this in her own life and discipline. This conversation maps the route to a nervous-system first, slow and sustainable, deeply embodied life, and to truly exceptional teaching.What we coverThe core belief “my value is what I can do for others” and how it shapes identity, health – and your coaching practiceBea’s move from family nurse practitioner to somatic coach after seeing what prescriptions couldn’t fixWhat Emotional Outsourcing really means (and why the old labels didn’t land)The physiological toll of chronic self-abandonment (digestion, thyroid, energy, anxiety)Ventral vagal regulation: why safety is the precondition for lasting changePractical somatic tools: orienting, interoception, “kitten steps,” bodily needs before inbox needsThe effect of our culture lens: patriarchy / capitalism / colonialism and how systems inform our values and our teachingBoundaries from the body vs. “performative” boundaries from the headCoaching: what level of regulation, authenticity, shadow work, and refusing the pedestal is necessary for true masteryListen for these gems“Catharsis is cute—slow changes lives.”“I am safe enough.” (Why the enough matters to your nervous system.)“If your boundary isn’t felt in the body, you’ll fold like an origami swan.”“My goal is for my clients not to need me.” – ULTIMATE coach statement!Try this →Bea’s 2-minute practice for PresenceLook around the room and name 5 things you see.Tell yourself: “I am safe enough to be present.”Feel your feet. Inhale and drop your breath down to your feet.Honor one body cue (pee, sip water, step outside for sunlight).Repeat hourly—slow is smooth; smooth is fast.One tiny script that changes everythingWhen you want to reflexively say yes: “I need to think about that.”Create space. Check your body. Decide from self-respect, not approval-seeking.Links & resourcesBea’s website: beatrizalbina.comBea’s podcast Feminist Wellness: beatrizalbina.com/podcastBea’s book Emotional Outsourcing: beatrizalbina.com/bookSir Ken Robinson TED Talk: Do Schools Kill Creativity?Timestamps...
