Business and Life Lessons I learned in 2021, and How I’m Going to Apply them to Generate More Money with Less Stress in the New Year EP371

The greatest act of neglect is to settle for less.

Many of us where taught in childhood to “suck it up,” and to “just be happy you have a roof over your head.”

This creates a sense of shame for wanting anything more than the bare basics, because after all there are starving children in Africa (who heard that one growing up?).

My childhood on the outside looked pretty damn privileged, and in many ways it was. I had the private piano lessons, dances classes, a nanny, and got a brand new car when I was 16… BUT there was a catch. As long as the things I wanted were what my mom approved of and made us look good, I could do them…anything else was OFF THE TABLE. Like don’t you dare even ask, off the table.

This taught me to stuff my deep desires, banish them from my mind, as they would never be allowed to even be attempted. So as an adult, I made sure to follow the society-approved program of climbing the corporate ladder, playing the office politics, and never going outside of the damn box.

If you know me or have been listening to my podcast, you know that I am all about being OUTSDIE the box…in fact FU*K the damn box and burn it!

This didn’t happen overnight. I got to a point where staying in this safe “box” sucked all of the joy out of my life, and if I didn’t give my self permission to disappoint others, permission to fail, permission to set my self free, I was going to end up an old lady with a crap ton of regrets.

My loves, one thing we can never get back is time. Give yourself the best gift of your life, and let yourself out of this box…..you have the key…in fact the door isn’t even locked.

Yes it will feel awkward and down right terrifying at times, but living another year in that joyless box will be far more painful.

EP 765 The Final Shedding Required for the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life

If you have been feeling restless, emotionally raw, impatient with your old patterns, or like your current life suddenly feels too small, you are not imagining it.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

Instead of surface-level motivation or spiritual bypassing, this conversation focuses on honest self-reflection, releasing emotional attachments, confronting resistance, and taking decisive action so you can move into your next level with clarity and momentum.

EP 764 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Boundaries) How to Set Healthy Boundaries Without Guilt in 2026

This episode of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol is all about boundaries.

Not the cold, harsh, push-people-away kind. But the kind that protect your energy, your peace, and your future.

Most high achievers think burnout comes from working too hard. The truth is much simpler: burnout comes from weak boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, it’s not because you care too much or work too much. It’s because you’ve been saying yes to things that should have been a no.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, fear, or anxiety — and how to finally stop overgiving to the point of losing yourself.

True change in 2026 doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from becoming someone new on the inside first.

In this episode, we go beyond surface level self-improvement and get into the emotional, psychological, and energetic work of remembering who you actually are and deciding who you want to be next.
