The Crap That Isn't Yours And Why It's Blocking Your Business Growth with Lori Ellen Miller

What if the patterns, trauma, and programming holding you back in business…aren't even yours?

 In this episode of Unlearn the Crap & Level UP, I sit down with Lori Ellen Miller (from All Me By Design) to excavate how ancestral conditioning, generational beliefs, and cultural stories sneak into your brain, body, and business decisions. Lori gets raw about realizing she'd been operating under invisible programming and what it took to start undoing it.

If you've ever launched, pivoted, or scaled only to hit recurring walls…this conversation is for you. We unpack:

Why healing feels never-ending (and how to move through it)

How "unowned" trauma shows up in revenue, boundaries, offers, and visibility

The permission to admit you're still unlearning

Real tools to shift your energy so your business can breathe
