• S1E9 - PEOPLE-PLEASING, VALIDATION & THE “GOOD GIRL” DILEMMA OR WHY CHOOSING YOURSELF ISN’T SELFISH
    Jun 9 2025

    Send us a text

    Can we truly choose ourselves… without guilt?
    Can we stop performing, people-pleasing, and striving for perfection — and instead, honor our truth, even when it shakes the ground beneath us?
    What happens when the Good Girl begins to rebel?

    In this powerful and intimate episode of Authenticity Embodied, I’m joined by my colleague and fellow Mastery Method Coach, Eleni Michailidou, who interviews me on my journey of shedding the Good Girl identity and reclaiming radical self-leadership.

    Together, we explore the deep conditioning that teaches women to be palatable, agreeable, and self-sacrificing — and the moment we begin to burn that script down.

    Note: This interview was recorded in 2023. I did not publish it earlier because of the personal information I am sharing in this episode. It is useful & potent nonetheless.

    We talk about:
    ✨ The pressure to be liked and the craving for external validation
    ✨ How perfectionism becomes a mask we wear to avoid judgment
    ✨ My personal story of leaving a controlling relationship to honor my truth
    ✨ The sacred, messy art of choosing yourself — even if it means breaking someone’s heart

    Eleni also shares how the science of Positive Psychology became her catalyst for walking away from a life that looked good on paper… but felt anything but true.

    This is a liberation conversation — a tender and unapologetic invitation to reclaim your desires, trust your nervous system wisdom, and embody the Rebel who stands for truth.

    If you’ve ever felt the weight of being the “Good Girl” — this episode will feel like exhale.

    🎧 Tune in now and let it be your permission slip:
    You are a priority. And there’s no shame in that. And choosing yourself isn't selfish — it's sacred.

    Jan 29 2024

    Send us a text

    What if beauty, self-worth, and financial abundance were deeply interconnected? Could our creativity and authenticity be the keys to unlocking prosperity?

    In this second part of my conversation with Julia Nagutova, we dive into the complex relationship between appearance, judgments, and self-worth—challenging the idea that beauty comes without struggle and exploring how luxury is tied to an artist's sense of worthiness.

    We also uncover the powerful link between creativity, authenticity, and financial success, redefining how we value our gifts and why charging for our services is not just about money, but about honoring the transformation we offer.

    Julia then introduces astrocartography—a fascinating tool that maps planetary influences on different parts of the world. She explains how specific planetary lines can enhance communication, prosperity, and abundance, offering insights on how to align with our most expansive energy.

    In the final part of our conversation, we explore astrology’s hidden keys to life purpose, touching on the significance of Chiron (the wounded healer), the lunar nodes, and Leo in the 12th house—a placement that speaks to leadership, visibility, and reaching vast audiences.

    If you're ready to embrace your worth, elevate your financial reality, and explore cosmic insights that can guide your path, this episode is for you.

    Can astrology unlock a deeper understanding of self-worth, money, and personal transformation? Could the planets hold the key to our biggest breakthroughs?

    In this episode of Authenticity Embodied, I sit down with Julia Nagutova, an astrology expert and breakthrough mentor who helps people transcend limitations through intuitive and personal guidance.

    In this first part of our conversation, Julia shares her transformative journey into astrology, including a pivotal moment when decoding astrological insights helped her gain profound clarity on self-discovery and family dynamics.

    We explore the connection between money and self-worth, both of which reside in the second house in astrology. Julia breaks down the influence of Pluto and Jupiter in the second house—with Pluto driving deep transformation and Jupiter bringing expansion in money, relationships, and values.

    I also share part of my personal journey—from makeup artist to authenticity coach—and how embracing my own evolution led to a deeper understanding of self-expression and purpose.

    Julia explains Saturn’s role in shaping our financial patterns, teaching soul lessons on spending, saving, and investing, and highlighting challenges we must overcome to expand our self-worth. We also uncover key red flags in relationships, how they reflect our inner beliefs, and the intuitive growth that comes with learning from them.

    Dec 13 2023

    Send us a text

    What if your daily mental and emotional struggles weren’t personal flaws — but nervous system patterns ready to be rewired?
    What if the path to authenticity wasn’t just about mindset... but about the body’s capacity to hold truth?

    In this powerful episode of Authenticity Embodied, I’m joined by Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace, hosts of the Trauma Rewired podcast and facilitators at Brain-Based Wellness — a cutting-edge platform that merges applied neuroscience with movement and somatic healing.

    Together, we explore the journey to authentic embodiment by peeling back the layers of trauma, dissociation, and conditioning — and building a daily practice that supports true nervous system transformation.

    We dive into:

    • How neurosomatic intelligence offers daily nervous system hygiene
    • The unique benefits for caregivers, neurodivergent individuals, and highly sensitive people
    • How nervous system regulation supports financial expansion and reshapes your relationship with money
    • Why many self-regulation tools miss the mark — and how this approach goes deeper
    • The 12-week Neurosomatic Intelligence Certification program — and how integrating this work into your business can be the difference between burnout and breakthrough

    If you’re a coach, therapist, leader, or simply someone who is ready to reclaim your energy, expression, and truth — this conversation is a portal.

    🎧 Press play to understand how embodied safety is the foundation of authenticity — and how learning to speak the language of your nervous system could change everything.
