    30. if you can only see what's wrong lately
    Aug 5 2026
    30. if you can only see what's wrong latelyYou look at your job and all you can see is what's wrong with it. You look at your week and all you can see is what didn't get done. You look at yourself and all you can see is where you're falling short. In this episode, I explore why we get stuck only seeing the negative: how that focus becomes its own trap, why what you focus on grows, how this pattern turns inward as your inner critic, and the surprising reason negativity might actually be protecting you from something. Plus, I'm sharing a limited-time August offer: a Healing Your Inner Critic reading for anyone whose inner critic has been especially loud lately. ---Full Notes: Today we're talking about only seeing the negative.You know what this feels like. You look at your job and all you can see is what's wrong with it. You look at your week and all you can see is what didn't get done. You look at yourself and all you can see is where you're falling short.It's not that the negative things aren't real. They are (or might be). But when that's the only lens you're looking through, you start to lose the full picture. You stop seeing what's actually working. You stop seeing your own progress. You stop seeing the parts of your life, and yourself, that are genuinely good.There's another way to move through your days. One where you can still see what's hard, still be honest about what's not working, but you're not drowning in it.--IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR:00:00 Introduction to The Unraveling Achiever00:42 Question Submission & Topic Intro02:29 Message One: The Negative Lens Becomes Its Own Trap03:39 Message Two: What You Focus On Grows05:16 Message Three: When the Negative Lens Turns on You (+ Inner Critic Reading Offer)07:23 Message Four: Sometimes the Negative Is Protecting You From Something08:55 Bringing It All Together10:29 Soul Reading--THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF:You've noticed you can only see what's wrong latelyYour inner critic has been especially loudYou keep expecting the worst so you won't be disappointedYou want to understand why the negative lens feels so hard to shift--RESOURCES MENTIONED:No external resources mentioned in this episode.---LIMITED-TIME OFFER:For the month of August, I'm offering the Healing Your Inner Critic reading to explore where your inner critic comes from and how to build a kinder relationship with yourself.

  • 29. making the right choice for you (or not)

    29. making the right choice for you (or not)
    Jul 29 2026

    29. making the right choice for you (or not)

    Today we're talking about making the right choice for you (or not).

    You already know what it feels like when you make an aligned choice. There's a settledness to it. Even if it's scary, even if it's hard, there's a rightness underneath it. And you also know what it feels like to make an unaligned choice - because even when it looks good on paper, there's a low hum of unease. A little voice that whispers, "This isn't quite it." And you push through anyway.

    So then, this: If we already know the difference, why do we still choose the unaligned option so often? That's what today is about.

    ---

    Full Notes: You already know what an aligned choice feels like. There's a settledness to it, even when it's scary. And you know what an unaligned choice feels like too - that low hum of unease you push through anyway. So why do we keep choosing the unaligned option, even when we can feel the difference? In this episode, I share three messages: you're often choosing what looks good instead of what's actually good for you, you're not being fully honest with yourself about what you actually want, and you don't need full clarity to start moving – small honest steps get you further than waiting for certainty ever will.

    28. when your career is comfortable but stagnant
    Jul 15 2026
    28. when your career is comfortable but stagnantA listener asked: I'm comfortable in my current role, but I've become stagnant. There's no growth opportunity where I am, and I know it's time for a change, but I don't know where to go. In this reading, I tune into their Akashic Records and discover that their career might not be the problem. What's really calling for attention are the passion projects and ideas they've put aside – the ones that excite and scare them at the same time. Their career is stable and ready to be a supportive placeholder while they explore. ---Full Notes: In this episode, I'm did a reading in response to a listener's question. I opened this up after Episode 26 – if you have a question about your career, your life direction, your next steps, submit it. Your name stays private. Only your question gets read on the show. The link is in the show notes.Here's the question I received:"I'm feeling very comfortable in my current role at work, but I have also become stagnant. There have been a lot of ups and downs in the last year that have somewhat settled recently. While that's a nice change, the reality is that there is no growth opportunity where I am. I know the time has come for me to make a change, but I'm held back because I don't know where to go from here. I would love some insight around what steps to take to open up the path ahead and to help me shine a light on my next career path."This question, while specific to this person, is a shared experience.
