The Fabienne Show

This episode is for the high-achieving woman who still feels like she has to carry it all because no one else can do it quite like she does. You know you need to delegate much more, but somewhere deep down, letting go still feels unsafe.

If that’s you, I want to name something gently but clearly: you may be carrying what I call a “delegation wound.”

In this episode, I unpack the deeper reasons why so many women leaders struggle to let go, even when their calendar is full, their business is growing, and their soul is craving more ease. I explain how past experiences shape our nervous system, how control becomes a trauma response, and how the fear of being let down keeps you stuck in overfunctioning.

You’ll hear what it takes to shift your identity from being the one who rescues everything… to being the woman who leads with vision, trust, and systems that hold her.
Because you can’t scale a business (or a life) you’re still white-knuckling.

In This Episode:
Why we cling to doing it all ourselves (01:58–03:59)
The hidden cost of micromanaging (03:59–04:57)
What makes delegation feel unsafe (06:06–07:02)
How control becomes a nervous system default (09:17–11:10)
Shifting from rescuer to well-resourced leader (12:27–15:48)
The identity shift required for sustainable growth (18:06–19:02)
A loving invitation to lead differently (19:02–20:39)

Inspired Actions:
✨ Ask yourself: where am I still gripping out of fear?
✨ Name what you’re afraid might happen if you fully let go
✨ Reframe: letting go isn’t losing control, it’s gaining freedom
✨ If you’re ready to lead differently and scale without overfunctioning, apply for a free Get Acquainted Call with me to discuss this further: www.boldheart.com/call
✨ And if you’d like to apply to join me live in Paris for my two day Freedom Framework event, happening April 20–21, details and application are at www.boldheart.com/events

You don’t need to do it all to lead powerfully.
Let this be the moment you begin to let go and rise.

This episode is for the high-achieving woman who feels uncomfortable when there’s nothing to do, and can’t stop pushing, even when she doesn’t need to anymore. The calendar is clear. But instead of resting, she fills the space.

If that’s you, I want to name something gently but truthfully: you might actually be addicted to struggle, through no fault of your own.

In this episode, I unpack what I call “struggle energy”, that invisible pull toward over-functioning, overbooking, overdelivering, long after it’s necessary. I explain how this pattern gets wired into your nervous system, how it becomes tied to your identity, and why success or downtime actually starts to feel uncomfortable without stress.
You’ll hear what I believe causes this addiction to urgency, the dopamine hit you get from chaos, and the anxiety that often comes with white space in your schedule.
Most importantly, I will show you how to unwind it so you can actually enjoy what I call Seven Figure Freedom (the name of my upcoming book) and what I guide the women who choose to work with me to achieve.

In This Episode:
Why ease feels unsafe even when success arrives (00:00–02:13)
How productivity becomes a dopamine addiction (04:03–06:11)
Signs you’re addicted to struggle energy (07:13–09:05)
What it takes to detox from the “doer” identity (09:05–11:15)
How ease creates vision, creativity, and flow (12:21–13:21)
What success looks like when you stop white-knuckling (14:24–15:20)
Why rewriting your identity is the gateway to more income and joy (15:20–18:04)

Inspired Actions:
✨ Notice where you’re recreating chaos out of habit
✨ Practice sitting with white space without guilt
✨ Set boundaries that protect your energy and creativity
✨ Choose one way to embody ease this week, even if that means taking a nap in the middle of the workday (can you imagine??)
✨ Apply for a free Get Acquainted Call with me to connect with me and map out your next level: www.boldheart.com/call

You don’t need to earn your rest. You’re allowed to feel good while you grow.

Let ease be your new standard.

This episode is for the woman who feels like she’s doing all the “right” things in her business but still isn’t growing the way she wants to. Maybe you’re building a team, juggling life with young kids, and doing your best to scale… but you secretly feel like you’re winging it. Or worse, that it’s all about to fall apart. Please know that this is through no fault of your own, and not only is it totally fixable, once we fix certain elements, you can scale to half a million (or more) relatively quickly, like Claire did.

In this candid conversation with psychologist and Boldheart graduate Claire Dowdle, we unpack the moment she went from “I’m organized, but lost” to leading a thriving half-million dollar group practice, all while raising two small children.

But this isn’t just about hiring or systems. It’s also about identity, self-worth, visibility, and why growing your business will always ask you to grow you from within, and do the inner work.

If you’ve been playing small, undercharging, or white-knuckling through self-doubt, this episode will help you reframe what it really takes to scale with sanity and soul.

In This Episode:
Claire’s turning point: from confusion and trial-and-error to clarity and strategy (01:37–04:50)
Why growth without groundedness leads to burnout (04:50–08:52)
The three Boldheart pillars that changed everything (09:23–12:54)
Identity shifts and inner work as the true path to expansion (13:06–21:25)
Healing visibility wounds and claiming space as a thought leader (19:44–22:21)
The deeper cost of people-pleasing and undercharging (28:00–30:55)
The parallel between entrepreneurship and deep personal healing (30:55–33:11)
Claire’s revenue leap and how she’s starting a second business with confidence (38:01–41:39)

Inspired Actions:
✨ Ask yourself: what would a woman who values her time do differently today?
✨ Challenge any belief that success means doing it all alone.
✨ If visibility triggers fear, explore what parts of you need healing or support.
✨ If you are curious about how I can help you grow your business and reclaim your time, you can apply for one of the few spots I provide each month to speak during a free Get Acquainted Call. Just answer a few questions here: www.boldheart.com/call

Claire is living proof that you don’t need to do it all alone and you don’t have to choose between motherhood, impact, and income. If you want to connect with Claire, visit: https://clairedowdlecina.com/

This episode is for the high‑achieving woman who looks successful on paper but feels secretly exhausted behind the scenes.

If you’re managing everything, holding it all together, and carrying a level of responsibility in your business that never seems to let up, I want to name something boldly: obligation is the enemy of freedom.

In this episode, I unpack how invisible obligation keeps women trapped in the role of the doer, even at higher levels of success. I share why what once helped you build your business can become the very thing that limits your freedom, growth, and quality of life.

We talk about how obligation disguises itself as you being “responsible,” “reliable,” or “a good leader,” and why that identity eventually becomes a cage. I walk you through the shifts I’ve made in my own life and business to move from overfunctioning and burnout into a more resourced, visionary way of leading, one that allows me to take 14+ weeks off from the business obligations (and how you can too).

This is an invitation to stop white‑knuckling your way through success and start structuring your business and life around what is truly sacred.

You didn’t build your business to live inside other people’s urgencies. You built it for freedom.

In This Episode:
Why obligation quietly replaces freedom at higher levels of success (00:00–02:13)
How responsibility turns into a trap that keeps you in the doer role (02:13–03:12)
The three most valuable resources women fail to protect (03:12–04:12)
Why canceling your own sacred time fuels burnout (04:12–07:39)
The truth about availability, boundaries, and entitlement to your time (05:21–06:35)
How I restructured my calendar to lead as a well‑resourced CEO (07:39–09:57)
Why everything becomes negotiable when nothing is sacred (09:57–11:23)
Letting go of the martyr identity to scale with peace (11:23–13:59)
The identity shift from indispensable doer to visionary leader (15:10–16:18)
What freedom actually means at seven figures and beyond (16:18–17:26)

Inspired Actions:
✨ Identify where obligation is still running your calendar or decisions
✨ Name what time, energy, or presence is truly sacred to you
✨ Stop equating availability with worth or leadership
✨ Choose one boundary this week that protects your thinking or creative time
✨ If you’re ready to scale without obligation and reclaim your freedom, apply for a Get Acquainted Call with me at boldheart.com/call

Freedom isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you choose, structure, and defend.
And you’re allowed to want it.

What if the biggest thing keeping you from success is something you don’t even know is there?

In this episode, I sit down with Diana Pagano, international keynote speaker, coach, and author of The More Mindset, to talk about the invisible beliefs that shape your results and how to break free from the ones that are holding you back.

If you’re a high-achieving woman who’s doing “all the right things” but still hitting a plateau… this conversation is for you.
Diana and I explore the real reason willpower alone won’t work, how your environment and early experiences shape your beliefs, and why changing your thoughts is not about positive thinking, it’s about aligning with who you were always meant to become.

In This Episode:
What happens when you over-rely on willpower instead of mindset (14:18–15:24)
How early childhood shapes the way you experience money, success, and visibility (19:38–21:00)
Why you attract what you believe, not what you want (36:22–37:04)
Diana’s personal story of breaking out of survival mode and reclaiming her power (25:14–27:52)
The practice of “changing the channel” to shift your frequency and get back into alignment (37:45–40:47)

Inspired Actions:
✨ Reflect on the beliefs you picked up before age 7
✨ Notice when “realism” is actually fear or protection
✨ Practice catching and redirecting negative self-talk
✨ Start each day with a clear intention and grounded gratitude
✨ Ask: “What would I want if I knew anything was possible?”
