• S2 Episode 21 "You’re not responsible for correcting people’s outdated versions of you."
    Sep 4 2025

    They think they know who you are. They cling to outdated versions of you. And the more you grow, the more you realize — you’re not healing in secret. You’re healing in front of people who still call you by your old name.

    This episode of Get Up Show Up Never Give Up is about what it really means to heal in public — to evolve while others try to keep you small, to reclaim your story without over-explaining, and to stop performing for people committed to misunderstanding you.

    💡 In this episode, you’ll discover:

    • Why people resist updating their version of you (Stanford & Mayo Clinic research)
    • The hidden cost of over-explaining your healing journey
    • A framework for reclaiming your identity without apology
    • How to protect your peace when others weaponize your past

  • S2 Episode 20 The Cost of Being the Strong One — When Strength Becomes Your Silence
    Aug 28 2025

    🔥 “You’ve mastered survival… but forgotten what it feels like to be supported.”

    You’re the strong one. The rock. The one who always shows up — no matter what it costs you. But what happens when strength stops being empowering… and becomes a cage?

    This episode of Get Up Show Up Never Give Up pulls back the mask and exposes the hidden cost of always being “fine.” We’re talking about the weight no one sees, the grief of being invisible, and the truth behind toxic resilience.

    💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why “being strong” often starts as a trauma response (Harvard, Stanford, Mayo Clinic research included).
    • The silent grief of carrying everyone while no one carries you.
    • The physical price of emotional suppression — and how your body keeps the score.
    • How to break free from toxic resilience and rediscover your humanity.
    • Practical frameworks to honor your strength without losing yourself to it.

    This isn’t about abandoning your strength. It’s about reclaiming your softness, your voice, and your right to be held too.

  • S2 Episode 19 “How to Grieve the Person You Were Before the Pain”
    Aug 26 2025

    🔥 “You can miss them — and still love who you’ve become.”

    You didn’t just lose people.
    You didn’t just lose moments.
    You lost versions of yourself.

    The one who laughed freely.
    The one who trusted easily.
    The one who saw the world through innocence, not survival.

    That version of you is gone — not because you failed, but because life demanded growth. And growth… often begins with grief.

    In this episode of Get Up Show Up Never Give Up, we dive into one of the most overlooked parts of healing: grieving the person you were before the pain.

    💡 What you’ll learn:

    • The psychology of non-death grief and why identity loss hurts so deeply.
    • The hidden signs you’re mourning your old self (and why it’s normal).
    • A 5-step “Grief Ritual” to honor the old you — and welcome who you’re becoming.
    • A proven Grief Integration Framework (awareness, acceptance, alignment) you can use today.
    • How to transform grief into clarity, strength, empathy, and depth.

    This isn’t about going back. It’s about learning to love who you are now — scars, strength, and all.

    Aug 21 2025

    You’ve been in survival mode for so long that you’ve mistaken it for who you are.
    But here’s the truth: survival isn’t your identity — it’s your conditioning.

    In this powerful episode of the Get Up Show Up Never Give Up Podcast, we uncover why peace feels unsafe, why thriving can trigger guilt, and why so many of us self-sabotage when life finally slows down. Backed by trauma research, neuroscience, and lived experience, this conversation will help you rewire your nervous system, release survival-based patterns, and step into the full version of you who no longer flinches at calm, joy, or freedom.

    If you’ve ever caught yourself saying:

    👉 “I feel guilty for resting”
    👉 “Chaos feels like home to me”

    …then this episode is for you.

    You’ll learn:
    ✅ Why survival patterns disguise themselves as “personality traits”
    ✅ How to stop confusing chaos with comfort

  • S2 Episode 17 Why Growth Feels Like Loss Before It Feels Like Freedom
    Aug 18 2025

    💡 “The stronger you become, the smaller your circle gets.”

    Everyone loves to talk about growth, hustle, and resilience — but no one talks about the loneliness that comes with it.

    In this episode of the Get Up Show Up Never Give Up Podcast, we’re diving into the part of growth nobody prepares you for:

    • Losing relationships that can’t handle your evolution
    • Feeling misunderstood when your discipline looks “extreme” to others
    • Carrying battles in silence because people assume you’re “strong enough”
    • Outgrowing spaces, mindsets, and even versions of yourself

    🚨 Here’s the truth: Growth is powerful, but it comes with hidden costs. You don’t just level up — you also leave behind.

    This episode will show you:
    ✅ Why strength can feel isolating when you’re healing or leveling up
    ✅ How to handle the grief of outgrowing people and places
    ✅ Mindset shifts to turn loneliness into a sign of alignment, not punishment
    ✅ Tools to protect your peace while still moving forward
