After nearly 20 years of coaching, I hit a wall—a pattern I couldn’t ignore. Some women achieved their dreams with ease, while others, no matter how committed, just couldn’t get there. And the same was true for me.

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I pull back the curtain on where I’ve been, what I’ve discovered, and how my coaching has evolved as a result. I share the overlooked reason why some goals remain out of reach, even when you're doing “everything right,” and why traditional coaching and mindset work can’t always get you there.

We’ll talk trauma, nervous system regulation, and why healing isn’t about being broken—it’s about becoming whole again. If you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, or like success is just out of reach, this episode will change the way you see yourself—and what’s really holding you back.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • Why I stepped away for 18 months and what changed everything

  • The frustrating pattern I noticed with my clients (and in myself)

  • The misunderstood role of trauma in goal achievement

  • A powerful story that changed the way I coach forever

  • How trauma-informed coaching is helping my clients finally reach their goals

  • Why it’s not your mindset—and you are absolutely not broken

If you're a midlife woman feeling stuck in an unfulfilling job or life, this one's especially for you. This is the beginning of a new conversation. And I’m so glad you’re here for it.
