Welcome back to The Uncensored Self Podcast.
This episode kicks off a transformative five-part series called The Mid-Year Comeback—a conversation for high-achieving women who are done abandoning their goals by summer and waiting until next year to start again.
Because let’s be honest… you probably set some big, exciting intentions in January. You were going to show up differently. Do the work. Keep the promises you made to yourself.
But then life got busy. Goals got fuzzy. And now it’s June—and part of you is thinking, “Well, maybe I’ll just try again in the fall…”
Not this time.
This series is your reminder that the year isn’t over—and neither is your momentum. In fact, now is the perfect time to course-correct, realign, and reclaim the energy you started the year with (without the guilt, shame, or self-judgment that usually creeps in).
In this episode, we cover:
Why most women abandon their goals halfway through the year
How to shift from shame and judgment into honest self-reflection
The sneaky ways your goals may not even be yours
Why “realistic” goals are actually holding you back
What radical acceptance really means—and how it sets you free
This isn’t about hustling your way through the rest of the year.
It’s about shifting into alignment, releasing what’s not working, and making space for what you truly want.
This episode isn’t just about reviewing your goals—it’s about remembering who you are, reclaiming your role as the creator of your reality, and coming home to the truth that it’s not too late—you’re right on time.
Watch now and learn how to:
Accept where you are without making it mean something about your worth
Reflect on what’s actually working in your life (and give yourself credit for it)
Break free from misaligned goals and shoulds
Stop calibrating to other people’s stories, circumstances, and limitations
Reconnect to your desires and start creating from a place of power
You don’t need more motivation. You need to reconnect with you.
