The Reality, Pain, and Craziness of Being an Adult raised in an Alcoholic or Toxic Environment, with Guest, Andrea Ashley, Host of the Trending the “Adult Child” Podcast EP382

Your desire for wanting more isn’t greed or selfishness; it’s a desire to live your most fulfilling life. 

Which by the way is your birthright. You don’t need to be MORE of anything to be worthy of having the best and getting it. 

This is wisdom that took me MAAAANY years to finally understand then MAAAAANY more to believe and embody. One of my Divinely Driven missions is to help you honor, own, and live your Most Exceptional life! (That’s what the ME stands for in ProjectME by the way.)

Do you find yourself dreaming up something BIG, but you get caught in a cycle of self-doubt and then end up taking little to no action?

That was me. I would worry about making everyone else in my life happy before myself, as that’s what I thought a great friend, partner, coach, employee, and daughter would do. 

I wanted more, and thought the problem was that I didn’t know what steps to take or how to make it happen. That’s crap, but I believed my feelings as facts (very dangerous).

Once we believe something is possible for us, we all find a way to make it happen. 

If you’re stuck in this dream-paralyzing loop…then it’s time for a change.

If your desire for more makes other people in your life uncomfortable, that’s THEIR problem, not yours 

Your life will only be as good, as fulfilling, and as abundant as you believe you deserve. If you’re trying to make yourself and your desires smaller to make other people feel comfortable, the only person who will pay the price is YOU. 

Your desires are within you for a reason, don’t let a single person (including you) dictate whether or not they are “practical,” “reasonable,” or “worth investing in.”

YOU make that CHOICE:

???? Not your partner.
???? Not your parents.
???? Not the people on the internet.
???? Not your boss.
???? Not your kids.
???? Not your inner bully.

There is no one that escapes life without having some childhood wounds, some of us have more than others to process and manage. 

If you grew up in a toxic or dysfunctional household like I did, there is a deeper reason why you get “stuck” and paralyzed with in-action so often. 

I’ve brought on Andrea Ashley, a former CPA turned podcast host of the breakout-hit show the “Adult Child Podcast”. We have an extremely raw and real conversation on how her professional and adult life is affected by growing up in an alcoholic home. She ended up turning to drugs herself to numb the pain, and now celebrates 13 years of sobriety.

Ep 801 Walk Into the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life Part 3: RELEASE

Welcome to Part 3 of the Walk Into the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life Guided Walking Meditation series. One of the biggest misconceptions about transformation is that your next level requires you to do more.

More learning.
More effort.
More proving.
More pushing.

But sometimes the greatest breakthrough comes from removing what’s no longer meant to come with you.

In this guided walking meditation experience, you’ll explore the emotional weight, outdated stories, fears, identities, and expectations that may be quietly slowing your progress. Because even the most powerful Fire Horse struggles when it’s carrying burdens it was never meant to carry.

This walk is designed to help you identify what’s expired, release what no longer fits, and create space for the version of you that’s trying to emerge.

Ep 800 Walk Into the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life Part 2: PREPARE

Welcome to Part 2 of the Walk Into the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life series. One of the biggest reasons people stay stuck isn’t because they lack clarity.

It’s because they’ve unknowingly handed the reins of their life over to fear, old conditioning, perfectionism, overthinking, and patterns that no longer fit who they’re becoming.

Many people believe they’re waiting for the right opportunity, the right sign, or the right timing. But often what’s really happening is they’ve stopped trusting themselves to lead.

In this guided walking experience, you’ll begin exploring what’s truly been directing your life and why reclaiming your power starts with a decision. A decision to stop drifting and start consciously leading yourself toward the life you’re meant to create.

This walk is designed to help you reconnect with your inner authority, strengthen self-trust, and recognize what has been quietly influencing your choices, behaviors, and direction.

Welcome to Part 1 of the Walk Into the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life series, a guided 7-day walking activation experience created to help you step into your next-level identity during one of the most transformational years in decades.

Designed to be listened to while walking or moving your body, this series combines identity work, embodiment, neuroscience, emotional regulation, and Fire Horse energy to help you move out of overthinking and into action.

If you’ve been feeling restless, disconnected, emotionally stuck, overwhelmed, or caught between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming, this experience was created for you.

In this first guided walk, you’ll begin understanding why so many people feel lost during periods of transformation, what it actually means to be in a liminal space, and how movement can help create the clarity, emotional release, and momentum your next level requires.
