• Nervous Episode 15 System vs. Nervous Wreck: Why You Can’t Out-Think Your Triggers
    Aug 15 2025

    Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things—but still feel stuck, reactive, exhausted, or totally numb?

    You’re not broken.
    You’re not weak.
    Your nervous system is dysregulated—and no amount of “positive thinking” can fix that until your body feels safe.

    In this raw and science-backed episode, I’m breaking down exactly what trauma does to your nervous system, how your body can’t tell the difference between real and perceived danger, and why you can’t “mindset” your way out of a body that’s still bracing for impact.

    I’ll also share the connection between trauma and gut health, how to stop gaslighting yourself with “it wasn’t that bad,” and give you real tools to start regulating today.

  • Burn It or Build It: The One Step That Changes Everything
    Jul 24 2025

    How many of us START tomorrow… and quit when success doesn’t happen overnight?

    The truth? Success takes work—not just in business, but in EVERYTHING:
    ✨ Your healing
    ✨ Your relationships
    ✨ Your health
    ✨ Your kids
    ✨ YOU.

    Last week my Plexus business coach Eric Worre shared the simplest formula for success I’ve ever heard:

    ✅ Start before you’re ready
    ✅ Don’t quit
    ✅ Get better every day

    And the formula for failure? 🚫 Start tomorrow.

    In this raw, fire-filled episode, we’re talking about burning the excuses—not your dream.

    You’ll learn:
    🔥 Why waiting for the “perfect” moment will keep you stuck
    🔥 The ONE question you must answer: WHAT DO YOU WANT?
    🔥 Why you only need one actionable step—not the whole staircase—to change everything
    🔥 And how to flip “burn it all down” energy into pure ignition

    PLUS → I’ll tell you how you can take your first messy step with me inside The Phoenix Circle Membership for just $47/month.

  • EPISODE 13 The Messy Yes: Stop Waiting, Start Moving
    Jul 15 2025

    Ever told yourself you’ll take action next week? When you have more time, more money, more confidence? Yeah… me too.

    But here’s the hard truth—waiting for the “perfect” moment is the ultimate trap. The perfect timing doesn’t exist. YOU just get braver.

    In this raw, unfiltered episode of Shattered But Unbreakable, I’m sharing what happened when I literally lost a whole day—slept for 17 hours, woke up disoriented, and realized I forgot to even record this episode. Life got messy. My schedule got messy. And guess what? I showed up anyway.

    Because that’s the secret no one tells you—progress isn’t built on perfection. It’s built on imperfect, messy action.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:
    ✅ Why waiting for the perfect timing will keep you stuck forever
    ✅ How resistance actually points toward what your soul really wants
    ✅ A reminder that no one cares what you’re wearing, how your hair looks, or whether you have lipstick on—just DO THE THING anyway
    ✅ Quotes from some of the greats—Mel Robbins, Marie Forleo, Steven Pressfield—that will light a fire under you
    ✅ And a personal wake-up call for anyone sitting on the edge of their next big YES

    So if you’ve been circling a dream, a calling, an opportunity—this is your nudge to stop waiting and move NOW. Messy, scared, unprepared… move anyway.

  • Episode 8: Right On Schedule – My Healing Didn’t Miss a Beat
    Jun 16 2025

    Welcome back , Phoenix'

    This episode wasn’t planned—it was divinely delivered.

    I share the raw, real truth of what it looked like to become a trauma-informed Master Coach while still healing from the inside out. I coached over 50 women for free before I ever made a dime—and every session cracked me open just as much as it helped someone else rise.

    I didn’t just survive my “perfect storm”—I let it burn off everything that no longer belonged.

    From courtrooms and closed bank accounts to six-mile walks, belly laughs, and singing again at the top of my lungs... this is the story of healing, right on time.

    You’ll hear one of the most powerful mindset tools from my mentor, Dr. Paul Jenkins, and a reminder that strength doesn’t come from skipping the fire—it comes from staying in it.

    Because healing doesn’t happen when you're ready.
    It happens when you're willing.
