    What if the reason you feel stuck in business (or life) isn’t strategy — but your nervous system?

    Are you microdosing yourself in dating?
    Not the shrooms kind — I’m talking about rationing your personality, energy, and truth so you don’t “scare someone off.” In this episode, I break down the pros and cons of holding back vs. showing up fully, why calculated self-curation can sabotage real connection, and how to tell if you’re dating goats when you should be finding dragons.

    #94: The Drama Triangle: Is Self-Sabotage Stealing Your Success? How to Break Free and Take Action
    Oct 1 2025
    💪 Ready to take control of your finances? Here's how👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 📲 Book Your Free Audacious Wealth Breakthrough Call Now! 📩 Start receiving my Email Newsletter!

    Are you really stuck… or just self-sabotaging without knowing it?

    In this deeply honest solo episode, Melissa unpacks the sneaky, everyday ways we sabotage our financial goals, business growth, and personal breakthroughs—without even realizing it. Whether it's hoarding cash out of fear, procrastinating on hiring a coach, or letting imposter syndrome paralyze your progress, Melissa reveals how our subconscious fears quietly shape our decisions. She shares real stories from her clients and her own entrepreneurial journey, giving you the tools to recognize and break the patterns holding you back. If you’re tired of “almost” making progress and ready to take small, strategic steps toward real freedom—this one’s for you.

    🔑 Key Takeaways

    • Self-sabotage often shows up as subtle avoidance, not dramatic self-destruction.

    • Imposter syndrome convinces us to play small—even when we’re qualified to take big steps.

    • Financial fear leads to hoarding, which reflects a scarcity mindset and blocks growth.

    • You’re not lazy—you’re often just unconsciously protecting yourself from failure.

    • Progress starts with micro-actions that build confidence, not giant leaps.

    ✅ Actionable Insights

    • Identify avoidance: Ask yourself, “What am I avoiding by not taking this next step?” and journal your honest answers.

    • Name the fear: Acknowledge what subconscious fear might be behind your inaction—protection is not laziness.

    • Take a micro-step: Choose one small, low-risk action aligned with your goal to start building momentum.

    • Invest intentionally: Don’t let fear drive your decisions—invest in alignment with your long-term values.

    • Share your commitment: Tell someone about your next step to create accountability and reduce the chances of stalling.

    #93: You Are Not Broken: How Integration Unlocks Your True Potential with Joanne Burgess, Part 2
    Sep 24 2025
    💪 Ready to take control of your finances? Here's how👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 📲 Book Your Free Audacious Wealth Breakthrough Call Now! 📩 Start receiving my Email Newsletter! What if your inner power isn’t missing — just fragmented? In this soul-stirring episode of The Audacious Founder Podcast, Melissa Manning sits down with hypnotherapist and spiritual guide Joanne Burgess to explore how our past, our protective instincts, and even our shame can secretly shape our present. But here’s the truth — you’re not broken. You’re simply made of powerful parts waiting to be heard, healed, and reunited. This conversation is a deep, vulnerable dive into personal transformation, emotional integration, and reclaiming your voice as a woman, mother, entrepreneur — as your full self. 🎧 Listen now on The Audacious Founder. Share this episode with a friend, leave a review, or book your breakthrough call — because it’s time to build a life and business that honors every part of who you are. 🔑 Key Takeaways Journaling can awaken inner guidance and unlock your calling — it’s how Joanne discovered her path in hypnotherapy. We all hold multiple inner “parts” — the protector, the child, the dreamer — and harmony begins when we listen to them. Fear-based relationships suppress our expression; inspirational ones allow us to expand. Society has long asked women to be “less” — but our boldness, sexuality, and full expression are part of our power. Integration of all parts leads to clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience — especially in business and relationships. 🚀 Actionable Insights Try journaling or meditation to identify the different parts within you — and ask what each one needs. Practice forgiveness — not just for others, but for the younger, reactive, or scared parts of yourself. Explore modalities like Parts Integration (NLP) or Internal Family Systems (IFS) to resolve inner conflict. When entering a new chapter, draw a line in the sand — allow your healed parts to lead the way. Create regular check-ins with your inner self — each part may react differently to new situations, and they all deserve your attention. 🧭 Resources & Mentions Joanne Burgess – Hypnotherapist and Parts Integration guide Deeper Dating – Understanding deprivation-based vs. inspiration-based relationships Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill – The power of love in unlocking genius Parts Integration (NLP) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) – Methods for emotional healing and alignment BioScan 360 Frequency Technology – A tool to read cellular imbalances and suggest remedies Connect with Joanne Burgess: Instagram: @flightofminds Website: https://flightofminds.com ✨ Final Thought You are not too much — you are many things.

Watch this video about the Tardus' Income Snowball What if your biggest business block isn’t in your strategy—but in your subconscious? In this powerful episode of The Audacious Founder Podcast, I sat down with Joanne Burgess, a certified clinical hypnotherapist and founder of BioScan 360, to uncover how trauma, neurodiversity, and subconscious beliefs affect our ability to build wealth, lead a business, and feel aligned. Joanne shares her journey from bespoke wedding dress designer in London to wellness strategist in Miami—and how she discovered the deeper purpose behind her pivot into healing work. This episode is a compelling reminder that if we don’t deal with what’s happening beneath the surface, it can silently hold us back from everything we’re trying to build. 🎧 If you’ve been feeling blocked, disconnected, or ready to pivot—this episode is your sign to explore what’s beneath the surface. The answers might be deeper (and more empowering) than you think. Key Takeaways: Neurodiversity (like ADHD and dyslexia) brings creativity, but can create challenges when confined by societal expectations. Burnout and stress can stem from staying in roles or businesses that no longer align with your evolving purpose. Big transitions—like becoming a mother, relocating, or ending a business—often awaken a deeper calling. Helping others often begins by healing yourself; lived experience is a powerful teacher. Vision and imagination are tools for transformation—what we see for ourselves becomes the blueprint for our lives. Actionable Insights: Tune into what drains or excites you—those signals guide you toward alignment. If you're stuck in patterns, explore somatic practices or hypnotherapy to release old programming. Don’t be afraid to pivot or close something that “works” if it no longer feels right. Build your long-term vision—not just short-term goals—so you know what you're working toward. Speak possibility into others; your words may be the seed that changes someone's life path. Resources Mentioned: Joanne’s healing practice: Bioscan360 Notable examples: Richard Branson, Jamie Oliver, Carlos Acosta The L&L Club Activation Event (where Melissa and Joanne met) Clinical Hypnotherapy & Frequency-Based Body Scanning Connect with Joanne Burgess: Instagram: @flightofminds Website: https://flightofminds.com Final Thought: True transformation starts with looking inward. As Joanne shared, healing isn't just about fixing what's broken—it's about uncovering what’s buried, releasing what no longer serves us, and reconnecting with the vision we’ve forgotten. When we let go of fear and embrace our inner power, we don’t just change our lives—we rewrite our future. 🔥 Join the Audacious Founder Community!

    #91: When Comfort Blocks Progress—How Subconscious Fears Halt Investment
    Sep 10 2025
    💪 Ready to take control of your finances?👇🏼 Book Your Audacious Wealth Breakthrough Call Now! Get on the email list! Watch this video about the Tardus' Income Snowball What if the reason you’re not moving forward in your business or finances isn't laziness or lack of ambition — but subtle, subconscious self-sabotage? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how high-achieving women unintentionally block their own success. We’ll uncover how behaviors like “playing it safe,” hoarding cash, or delaying decisions are really just fear in disguise — and how to break free. This episode is your wake-up call, your strategy session, and your permission slip to get out of your own way. If you've been waiting for the “right time” to take the leap — this is it. I talk through the deeply personal (and often hidden) ways self-sabotage shows up in our lives — especially for ambitious, smart women who know they’re capable of more. Whether you’re holding onto a job that drains you, hesitating on an investment, or quietly avoiding the next bold step in your business… we’re getting to the root of why. 🎧 Listen to This If... You’re frustrated with your lack of progress and can’t figure out why. You’ve been thinking about investing in your growth but keep hesitating. You’re holding back on launching that next offer, career pivot, or bold business idea. You need a gentle (but firm) reality check with practical steps you can take today. We talk about how fear, trauma, imposter syndrome, and even “saving” money can be subtle forms of self-protection that keep you stuck — and I walk you through the exact coaching process I use with my private clients to break the cycle. This one’s packed with real stories, raw truths, and practical strategies to get back in the driver’s seat of your goals. Let’s go. 🧠 Key Takeaways Self-sabotage isn’t always dramatic — it’s often the tiny, daily decisions that quietly block your progress. Imposter syndrome can make you believe you're only good at the role you're in now — not the one you're meant for. Avoidance is protection. You’re not lazy; you’re protecting yourself from fear, shame, or perceived failure. Financial hoarding ≠ safety. Saving without a strategy is emotional avoidance. Investing intentionally is power. Your subconscious is running the show — until you consciously interrupt it with awareness and aligned action. Accountability works. Speak your goals out loud, share them publicly, and use community to keep yourself moving. ✅ Actionable Insights Journal on avoidance. → What am I avoiding by not taking the next step (hiring a coach, investing, launching my business)? Uncover protection mechanisms. → How might I be subconsciously protecting myself from failure, judgment, or uncertainty? Take a micro-action. → Don’t leap. Nibble. Start with a small investment, one post, one phone call. Action breeds clarity. Set public accountability. → Say your goal out loud, post it, or tell a friend. You’re more likely to follow through. Tie behavior to values. → If your goal is to create freedom, legacy, or connection, does your current behavior align? 📚 Resources Mentioned Book: 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think by Brianna Wiest Quote: “Self-sabotage is getting exactly what you want — based on the beliefs you're reinforcing every day.” Study: Founder Institute’s survey of 185,000 entrepreneurs on mindset and success Research: 2018 National Study on Financial Worry & Psychological Distress 🔥 Join the Audacious Founder Community! 💡 Subscribe & Leave a Review – Your feedback helps us reach more audacious founders!💡 Share This Episode – Know someone starting a business?
