If youâve hung out with me for any length of time, youâll know that I am often encouraging folks to stop identifying with monikers that feel disempowering. For instance, if you want to get more shit done, you probably should stop calling yourself lazy. Or if you want to knock it off with the people-pleasing already, itâs time to stop saying, âIâm such a people-pleaserâ. When we start statements with âI amâŠâ or âIâm soâŠâ we inadvertently cement the very characteristics we want to distance ourselves from.
The concept of our âidentityâ is something that fluctuates throughout our lifetime and itâs no doubt youâve dealt with changes to your life roles. You have a baby, now you have a new role as parent. You start a business and now your role changes from employee to business owner. And just like any other change in our life, changes to our roles usher in a slew of emotions to reckon with.
And letâs not forget how other folks shape our identity. Itâs likely you can think back to labels others have given you throughout your life. Were you labeled sensitive, needy, jealous, the funny one, the smart one, the one who is always strong through everything? How did those labels land for you? Did they send the message that you were âless thanâ? Cause more stress to live into those labels? The great news is no matter how long youâve believed something about yourself, you can always change it. And, thatâs exactly what weâre discussing in this weekâs episode.
Have a listen as I explore five major ways we can truly understand and embrace who we are⊠especially if youâve totally lost who you are after years of self-sacrifice. This episode is packed with coaching exercises, so be sure to grab your worksheets. Weâll look at the current ways youâve been identifying (even if you havenât been conscious about it), how others have influenced your identity, and the powerful steps you can take to reclaim your sense of self.
This pod explores:
The simply inventory exercise you must do to figure out ways youâve been labeling yourself (without even realizing it) How others have âbrandedâ or labeled you throughout your life and how that can hold you back or build you up⊠and what to do with that information My two favorite exercises to help you figure out what-the-hell you even like, care about, and value at this stage of your life The number one way your Inner Critic will try to sabotage you and what you can do in response WORKSHEETS!

You land your perfect job. And then your inner voice tells you that you are horribly unqualified and everyone is going to find you out.
You enter a super healthy relationship with an awesome partner. And then your inner voice tells you how damaged you are, why you arenât good enough, and why itâs all going to come crashing down in a blazing inferno.
You finally finish that graduate degree. And then your inner voice tells you how you were the slowest in the class, probably wonât get hired, and should probably just try to get your old job back.
Sound familiar? If so, you are likely battling a lovely little issue we (in the personal growth world) like to call The Imposter Complex. The idea that, in spite of your success or accomplishment, you are somehow not good enough, a total fraud, and have fooled everyone who will surely soon find you out.
In this weekâs episode, I answer a listenerâs burning Q about what to do when you find yourself beating yourself up about being an imposter in your career, relationship, as a parent, or whatever. Youâll learn what to do with those pesky thoughts, how to acknowledge yourself (without being a cocky asshole), and how to own your god-damned brilliance (even if that terrifies you).
This pod explores:
How to reframe the lies youâve bought into telling you that youâre a fraud How to zero in on what youâre really afraid of so you can get a handle on your triggers and create a much more empowering inner convo Two of my favorite assignments to snap you outta this imposter trap (bring your pen and paper, Babycakes!

Unless youâve been living under a rock, you have undoubtedly heard the notion of âsetting boundariesâ, but have you ever wondered exactly what that means? Or maybe you drummed up the nerve to tell someone (like, your mom, boss, or bestie) how you really felt about something only to be blatantly ignored? (Or worse⊠not even taken seriously.)
How do you actually go about establishing boundaries that are clear, respected, and adhered to? Itâs hard enough to broach a challenging topic with someone, let alone follow through on your boundary.
Hereâs the deal⊠if youâve been constantly bitchinâ and moaninâ about something, and youâve been super vocal about it to everyone, except the person who really needs to know youâre (ah-hem) âupsetâ, then itâs probably time to have a tough convo. In this weekâs episode, I share my three-step process to establish boundaries in a way in which you can be heard and own your personal power.

Many of us grow up hearing that we âshouldnât rock the boatâ, âopen a can of wormsâ, and that we should simply âsweep it under the rugâ. In my not-so-humble opinion, these are all idioms for âshut the eff up and suffer in silenceâ. These are seemingly noble encouragements for us to keep putting everyone else in front of ourselves and keep people-pleasing our pretty little asses off.
Unfortunately, when we chronically stifle our voice, we are sending a subconscious message to our mind that we simply donât matter as much as everyone else. Taking care of the other personâs emotions is FAR MORE important than your own. So no wonder youâve been struggling with self-worth!
Hereâs where it can get complicated: If you consider yourself someone who has a strong core value around honesty, integrity, or authenticity, yet you constantly shape-shift in order to please others, you arenât really honoring your own value. And Iâm guessing that if you are looking to attract new friendships and relationships rooted in honesty and integrity, you arenât looking for folks blowing smoke up your ass⊠to people-please you. So⊠you should probably BE the person you are looking to attract.
In this weekâs show, I break down two major ways people-pleasing shows up in our world and how to know if itâs serving you (yes, thatâs actually a thing) or if itâs stealing your joy. Be sure to grab your freebie worksheets that accompany this episode because youâll be learning all about the connection between your core values and your people-pleasing behavior and how to stand in your personal power.
This pod explores:
The real definition of people-pleasing (especially if you donât identify as a people-pleaser) How being a kind, compassionate person can backfire on you and how to make sure it doesnât Why you HAVE GOT TO stop saying âI feel so bad!â or âI feel so guilty!â My 4-question journal prompt to help you discern if you are honoring your core values⊠or if people-pleasing is effinâ everything up GRAB YOUR FREE WORKSHEETS THAT ACCOMPANY THIS EPISODEThis episode is part of a limited, 6-part podcast series teaching you all the tools and strategies you need to kick your confidence and self-worth into high gear.

One. More. Thing. One more thing and you may just lose your god-damned mind. If one more person asks something of you⊠If one more task gets added to your to-do list⊠You may just Lose. Your. Shit.
Weâve all been in this crazy-ass-stressed-the-fuck-out place where we become, uh-hem, a little less than the best version of ourselves. We scream at our kids when they need something minimal. We lash out at our spouse, or friend, or co-worker when they are just trying to help. In essence, we become somewhat addicted to being super stressed out and overwhelmed.
Hereâs the unique thing about navigating modern stressors⊠When our primitive ancestors were dealing with some kind of threat, letâs say a lion, they would have a sharp spike of stress, handle the stressful situation (escape the lion) and then easily be able to access a calm, tranquil space. Essentially, they were able to complete the entire stress response cycle. But now we are in many stressful situations that simply donât stop. #rememberCovid Whether it be traffic, dealing with a high-demand job, feeling threatened in your interpersonal relationships, or being stressed out about the state of the world, itâs highly likely that youâve been existing in your sympathetic nervous system which our bodies respond to like weâre constantly running from lions. Itâs basically really, really fucking detrimental to our nervous systems.
If this sounds like I have a hidden camera installed in your place, you need to have a listen to this weekâs pod. BTW, no camera (#creepy)⊠Iâve just been in this place far too many times to count. And in this episode, I discuss what spikes our fear/stress response and share a slew of simple things you can do to let go of the fear, stress, and mortal combat that may be driving you to the brink of insanity. Say hello to some serious peace, tranquility, and happy dances.
This pod explores:
Understanding how our fear is simply trying to keep us safe (even though itâs a shitty communicator) 10+ easy ways to immediately relieve your stress My P.O.D. method for navigating extreme fear, overwhelm, and stress How to start asking for help⊠even if you really hate asking for help.

Tell me if this sounds familiar: You have âthis friendâ⊠and perhaps this is someone youâve known forever, maybe you saw each other through some tough times, but at this particular place in your life, this friendship has been feeling strained, frustrating, and sometimes downright toxic. But you guilt yourself saying, âWell, weâve been friends since collegeâ or âAm I a dick if I donât want to be there for her anymore?â
If that sounds at all familiar, you are in the same boat that many people find themselves in when they reach their 30s and 40s and beyond. Youâve grown as a person, your life has changed, and your priorities have shifted. But, you still feel tethered to this historical relationship that feels more like itâs robbing you dry than adding to your fulfillment.
A listener of the show wrote to the pod asking how to actually let go of one of these friendships. I mean, how do you go about breaking up with a friend? Is there an approach? How do you know if youâre being a big âol meanie? If youâve been pulled to part ways with a friendship, but have no idea what-the-hell that really looks like, you may want to have a listen. I discuss six major concepts to keep in mind (you know, to keep your shit straight) and two specific methods you can take to pull the trigger on the âbreak upâ. Additionally, I walk you through how to deal if someone breaks up with you (or simply just ghosts you).
This pod explores:
How to tap into the ârealâ reason youâre looking to end the friendship How to get connected to the way you need to conduct yourself so youâre proud of your own behavior (even if the other person loses their shit) Two specific methods to âbreak upâ with this unfulfilling friendship Four steps to aid in your healing if someone has broken up with you or isnât communicating with you any longer PERKS FOR THE POD-IENCEThis podcast is sponsored by LetsGetChecked and The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast listeners get a whoppinâ 30% off their first test kit of choice at trylgc.com/boldtruth or simply enter code boldtruth at checkout.

Every single year, over 1 million women question leaving their marriage. And nearly 70 percent of all divorces are initiated by women. And itâs no wonder â Marriage makes menâs lives exponentially easier while it makes womenâs lives drastically harder. It is clear that âtraditionalâ marriage dynamics are no longer tenable for American women.
Years ago, I remember having a chat with a friend where she was lamenting that she should be grateful her husband wasnât cavorting around, cheating on her, abusing substances, or screaming obscenities at her. I clearly remember her saying, âWow, the bar is set pretty damn low.â Seriously. Not being abused should be a given, not something to be celebrated.
In my near two decades of coaching, I have found myriad women frustrated, overwhelmed, and downright furious about the inequity in their marriage. Whilst doing all the domestic labor, holding down impressive careers, and digging deep into therapy and personal development, these women often find themselves lonely, heartbroken, and baffled at the lack of ownership and responsibility their partners were exhibiting in the relationship. No wonder recent studies cite single women without children being the happiest in our society.
In this weekâs episode, I chat with my close pal and colleague, Kate Anthony, who has just penned a book entitled, âThe âDâ Word: Making the Ultimate Decision about Your Marriageâ. Kate talks with me about her own divorce journey, shares about debunked studies citing divorce negatively affects children, understanding narcissism, and the courageous choice not to settle for subpar relationships. Have a listen and gain more insight on if you should stay or if you should go.
This pod explores:
Understanding various forms of abuse and the unexpected way financial abuse shows up The faulty and unfounded research that propagated the notion that you should âstay together for the kidsâ and what new research has found Why trying to âjust communicate more effectivelyâ isnât working for you and what to focus on instead The curious place we are in history where the gender dynamics of marriage are changing dramatically PERKS FOR THE POD-IENCEThis podcast is sponsored by LetsGetChecked and The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast listeners get a whoppinâ 30% off their first test kit of choice at trylgc.com/boldtruth or simply enter code boldtruth at checkout.

At the start of every year, itâs likely you get pumped up and excited to make some serious change. You decide on a handful of things that you are GOING to conquer this year, god-damn-it! But what actually makes those goals a reality?
Throughout my 15+ years in this work, I have found that noble intentions have very little to do with bringing goals to fruition. Good olâ fashioned gumption and desire are not enough to make your dreams come true. [sad trombone] In fact, a recent Inc.com article indicated that only 8% of people actually accomplish their goals. WHOA!! 8%!? Well, fuck.
But, wait.
Never fear, Babycakes, because this episode targets seven ways people tend to sabotage their own goals (without even realizing it) and how you can set yourself up to slaaaaay all your goals. Itâs not rocket science, but if you employ some of these easy tactics, you will kill all your 2024 goals! Yes, please!
This pod explores:
My favorite tool to use to ensure you are tackling this goal for YOU (instead of mom/fam/boss/society) The number one way people lose steam while working towards a goal and how you can smoothly move beyond this obstacle like a BOSS Why you need accountability and people in your life to support you and what to do if you donât How to keep your self-talk on point so you are constantly encouraged, kicking ass, and taking names PERKS FOR THE POD-IENCEThis podcast is sponsored by LetsGetChecked and The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast listeners get a whoppinâ 30% off their first test kit of choice at trylgc.com/boldtruth or simply enter code boldtruth at checkout.

If youâre like most people, you have an overwhelming sense of excitement and ambition come the new year. Also like most people, perhaps you hit Jan with a fire under your ass, but when Feb rolls around you have slowly begun to lose steam, fervor, and action. Also, 2023 kicked many of our asses, so thereâs that to contend with. Many people (and maybe YOU) enter the New Year with many plans and intentions, but somehow end up a bit off track sooner than later.
In this episode, I address the biggest obstacles people unknowingly establish for themselves when crafting New Yearâs goals and âresolutionsâ. Yep, you read that right⊠many people actually make their job a shit-ton harder by not setting themselves up for success to begin with. I also share my personal planning tool I use every single year to ensure I establish solid goals in aaaaall areas of my life (not just health and money⊠but, yes, those too). Be sure to grab your free planning guide so you can plan and organize a seriously epic 2024 by figuring out what categories in which you would like to make headway. Plus, youâll have a sexy Planning Guide to record all your brilliance!
This pod explores:
The two biggest mistakes people make when crafting goals for the new year How to assess where you are in your life now and where you want to be in a yearâs time How to create goals that are really about YOUR fulfillment, are totally attainable, and light you up Why you probably donât want to celebrate your 2023 accomplishments, but you kinda, absolutely MUST FREE PLANNING GUIDE WITH THIS EPISODE GRAB YOURS BELOW!Did you grab your free planning guide that accompanies this episode? Get on it, Babycakes! Hereâs the deal: our brain takes things waaaaay more seriously when we get out of our heads and get our thoughts/commitments out on paper. Itâs like, science.

You get super jelly that your partner gets to have extra time off work, so you say (in a snarky-ass tone), âWow. Must be nice to have so much free timeâ. Or maybe a work group youâre a part of is trying to decide how to handle a specific project and instead of voicing your true thoughts you say, âWe can certainly do it your wayâ and mutter under you breath, âAnd good fucking luck with that.â
What we have here, folks, are two examples of the Passive-Aggressive Communication Style. Everyoneâs fav. But, even though we find it infuriating, many of us do it ourselves aaaaaall the time.
If you werenât properly taught how to advocate for your own wants, needs, and opinions [spoiler: none of us were], itâs likely that you find yourself falling into one of the less-than-effective communication styles. Research has shown that there are four main communication styles: passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive (#guilty), and assertive. Fifty points if you can figure out which one is most effective. Yup, Assertive.
But, if youâre like most, you probably dip your toes in a bit of the other three. And, you certainly are not alone. In this episode, part two of two, I take a deep dive into the Passive-Aggressive and Assertive communication styles. I cover off what they typically sound like, what their go-to tactics are, what to do if you communicate this way, and what to do if youâre engaging with someone who employs the Passive-Aggressive style. Be sure to have a pen and paper handy as I spell out specific verbiage and phrases you can use⊠like, yesterday.
This pod explores:
My absolute favorite tactic in calling someone out (without royally pissing them off) when they are being Passive-Aggressive How to untangle your own go-to Passive-Aggressive tendencies and what to say instead What to do if your entire family system relies on being Passive-Aggressive to communicate My favorite Assertive go-to phrases to use when you need (and want) to be clear, kind, and concise HIRE ME TO SPEAK AT YOUR EVENT! ACCESS âENOUGHNESSâ. POWERFULLY NAVIGATE FEAR. SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF. LEARN MORE >>I have three battle-tested (and badass) keynote speeches that are ready to be delivered to your company, organization, group, or association. If you or anyone you know could benefit from me droppinâ some gems (um, like, who couldnât use some new tools?) please send them to THIS FANCY INFO PAGE on my site where you/they can message me directly about specific needs.

Someone does something that really bothers you, but youâd rather pull your own teeth out than have a confrontation⊠so you just stay quiet. Or maybe your family is so damn aggressive that you find it easier to hide in the shadows instead of ârocking the boatâ.

Ever feel like youâre expressing yourself like a #boss and the other person is like, âWhy are you yelling? Please donât scream at me.â And then youâre all, âWhaaaa?! IâM NOT SCREAMING!â Or have you ever addressed something with your partner/bestie/co-worker and they told you your tone was a bit harsh? Um. Yeah. Me too.
Recently, a listener reached out to the show and asked how she could better control her voice when talking about serious issues with her husband. Often we think we are being crystal-fucking-clear about WHAT we are saying to another person, but in the passion of our emotions, we often lose sight of HOW we are expressing our thoughts.
In this episode, I spill nine, super-easy-to-implement communication hacks you can use to control your tone, not lose your ever-lovinâ mind, and communicate in a way that gets your point across and your needs met. Boom. Just like that.

You know *that thing* when you get totally caught off guard by a request and donât know how to say âNoâ, so you say, âUm, yeah, sure. Totallyâ? Or how âbout this one: You know you need to address something with your bestie by you keep thinking, âAm I overreacting? Am I being dramatic? I feel like I should say something, but Iâm so nervous!â Or maybe your boss walks into your office and asks for another report to be completed and instead of saying âI donât think I can add one more thing to my plateâ, you just verbally list out a litany of things that you have to accomplish, hoping that sheâll magically get your drift.
Real talk. No one teaches us how to articulate our thoughts, feelings, needs, and opinions in an effective manner. We stumble around thinking we canât ever let anyone down and god forbid we actually say âNoâ! So we learn to âsweep things under the rugâ and tell ourselves that itâs not that serious until we erupt like a god-damned volcano.
If youâre sick of this rat race, but still donât know #WTF to say, then prepare to burn a hole in this episode. I go off about nine, easy-to-implement communication hacks that will have you speaking up for yourself and feeling damn good about it. Get your pen and paper ready because this is your new bible.
