    'Reinvention' is Bullshit: Episode 134

    14/04/2026 | 29 mins.
    The Confession Booth is open! 
    I'm calling BS on the 'reinvention trend'....one that I was fully participating in for the last few years. 
    Nobody reinvents themselves on purpose. Not the way the industry sells it. Real change doesn't start with a plan, it starts with one thought that won't let you go: 
    I want something different. 
    In this episode, I'm dismantling the whole reinvention myth, and replacing it with something that actually works. 
    It's a confession, a rallying cry, and the most extravagant permission slip I've ever handed out. 
    You'll hear: 
    The reinvention lie 
    Why your perspective is supposed to shift as you grow 
    What real change looks and feels like, and why there's no parade for it 
    The one sentence that starts everything 
    Why 'terrixciting' is the most honest word for where you are right now

    Stress Is Not The Problem...This Is: With Dr. Rachel Goldman

    23/03/2026 | 41 mins.
    We've all been there: a plan falls apart, a deadline shifts, or a minor inconvenience feels like the end of the world. Or, we spend way too much of our time and energy worrying about 'what if.' We usually blame the situation for how we feel, but today's guest says the 'problem' isn't what's happening - it's how we're wired to react to it. 
    I'm joined by Dr. Rachel Goldman, a clinical psychologist, NYU professor, and a leading expert in the mind-body connection who has shared her insights alongside icons like Oprah and Mel Robbins. 
    Ahead of the April launch of her highly anticipated book, "When Life Happens," Dr. Rachel breaks down the science of CBT and explains why we need to stop trying to 'delete' stress and start building a Coping Toolbox. 
    This episode is a survival guide for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the weight of 'doing it all' and is ready to reclaim their peace of mind. 
    What We Discuss: 
    The Stress Reframe: Why stress is inevitable, but our physiological and mental reaction to it is a choice. 
    The "All or Nothing" Trap: How to break the cycle of perfectionism when things go sideways. 
    Building Your Coping Toolbox: Specific strategies to regulate your emotions in real time. 
    Mindset as a Skill: Why resilience isn't a personality trait - it's a strategy you can train. 
    When Life Happens: A deep dive into the mindset shifts needed to navigate life's messiest moments.

    The Wrong Life: Ep. 130

    16/03/2026 | 26 mins.
    I left Spain to figure out what was wrong with me. 
    I had the dream life. The cobblestone streets. The European light. The copper bathtub imported from England that cost eleven thousand euros. 
    And I was miserable in ways I didn't have words for yet. 
    So I left. Convinced I was the problem. 
    I was wrong. 
    In this episode I'm recording from Harrison Hot Springs - sitting in a mineral pool, in the middle of a meditation that turned into a download - and I finally understand what I was actually running from. And why leaving was the most sane thing I ever did. 
    This is the episode for the woman who has spent years trying to fix herself. The woman who has read the books, done the work, followed the rules - and still feels like something is fundamentally broken. 
    Nothing is broken. 
    But something is wrong. 
    And until you figure out what that is, you will keep building beautiful lives on foundations that cannot hold you. 
    This is where we start.

    What You'll Learn: 
    What numerology is, and why it works 
    How your numbers influence your identity and decision-making 
    Why you keep repeating the sane relationship dynamics

    Why You Keep Overthinking (And What You're Actually Avoiding)

    23/02/2026 | 20 mins.
    Why do you keep overthinking decisions when you already know what to do? 
    In this episode I break down why overthinking isn't a clarity problem, it's a self-trust problem - and what you're actually avoiding. 
    What you'll learn: 
    Why you say "I don't know" (and what it really means) 
    The hidden reason you stay stuck in indecision 
    How overthinking protects you from uncomfortable truth 
    The identity shift that changes everything 
    One simple question to stop overthinking immediately 
    Key moment from the episode: 
    "You don't say 'I don't know' because you're confused. You say it because the truth would cost you something." 
    If you're ready to stop overthinking and actually move forward, this is exactly what we do inside The Breakthrough.
