Hosted by Heather Chauvin | Insights inspired by Mel Robbins

All external pressure is off ladies! It's time to listen to the inner pull. Mastering the art of knowing when to slow down and breathe vs. when to take action. It's time we value our desires. See your value. Own it. Communicate it. It's time to become wildly #emotionallyuncomfortable
This podcast will crack you open and force you to grow. Interviews and storytelling about business, emotional intelligence, creativity, love, being different, parenting, and more...

Emotionally Uncomfortable

"Not everything your body is telling you is a symptom that needs to be fixed. Sometimes it's grief."
 
In this episode, Heather shares a deeply personal reflection on what happens when you outgrow the pain, patterns, and identities that once helped you survive but no longer support where you're going. She explores the uncomfortable process of letting go of old stories, relationships, expectations, and the versions of ourselves we've worked so hard to become. From business lessons and the cost of giving away your own authority to the grief that surfaces when your body finally feels safe enough to release what it has been holding, this episode is an honest exploration of healing, growth, and reinvention.
 
What to listen for:
 
☑️ The story of "I don't know how to market myself," and how Heather lost her voice
 ☑️ Why women sabotage themselves through overdoing and taking on too much
 ☑️ Outsourcing your confidence and intuition, and trusting when things feel off
 
 
 
"I've had a vision of making a bigger impact. It hasn't happened. The reason why it hasn't happened is that I went down a rabbit hole believing other people could solve my problem because I believed their words, not their behavior."
 
☑️ Investing in the people who are actually in the arena, truly doing their own work
 ☑️ Sticking with things long enough to allow them to start gaining momentum
 ☑️ If you don't want to do the hard work in business, then get a job
 
 
 
"Hiring marketing people for my team and then outsourcing my power and my confidence in them cost me so much fucking money, and it almost killed me."
 
☑️ Listening to your body when it starts communicating that something isn't right
 ☑️ The reason why the Universe puts things in front of your face until you're ready to listen
 ☑️ Why our grief is often about who we were when we were with the ones we lost
 
 
 
"When I looked at those panic attacks, I kept thinking, 'What is this?' I truly believe that my body was letting go because it felt safe in the middle of the night. That was when I was at rest, and it was letting go of these old stories."
 
☑️ Committing to no longer struggling and being done with people who don't show up
 ☑️ Time under tension triggers disease, which is why it's essential to process your feelings
 ☑️ When you deeply trust yourself, life challenges start to feel less scary

1274: [Life Update] I Outgrew My Pain (& It Hurt Like a B!+CH to Let It Go)

"You're breaking generational patterns by having the capacity to be present with your kids because you're not snappy, angry, and frustrated."
 
In this episode, Heather and Kelly Hubbell challenge one of the most deeply ingrained beliefs many women carry: that doing it all is required to be a good mother. This conversation reframes asking for help as a leadership skill that allows you to reclaim your time, energy, and presence for what matters most, not as a luxury that's out of reach. They dive into the emotional resistance that comes with outsourcing, the hidden beliefs that keep us clinging to unnecessary responsibility, and the freedom that becomes available when we stop measuring our worth by how much we can carry alone. Whether you're building a business, raising a family, caring for aging parents, or simply feeling stretched too thin, this episode is an invitation to rethink how you support yourself, challenge cultural expectations for women, and create a life where you no longer have to choose between thriving and doing it all.
 
What to listen for:
 ☑️ The cultural lie for women that says burning out makes you a good mother
 ☑️ Why life gets more complex when you're growing a business alongside parenting
 ☑️ Getting support isn't one-size-fits-all, and it's necessary for every life stage
 
"I want to spend time with my kids in the few hours I get to see them during the work week and actually do fun stuff on the weekends. I don't want to be a slave to my home. I want to live my life."
 ☑️ Are you filling a void inside yourself, or are you investing in what's important to you?
 ☑️ Separating yourself from the things that need to get done, so you can outsource them
 ☑️ How buying back your time in small ways gives you your life and family back
 
"We have a disconnect between the way that we are running our business and scaling a business and growing, managing, and delegating in our career and doing it in our household."
 ☑️ Why we're more concerned with managing a house manager than the investment
 ☑️ Feeling triggered by "not doing it all" isn't a reason to keep managing everything
 ☑️ Consolidating the support you need and how that actually saves you money

1273: Hyper-Independence Is Keeping Women Stuck With Kelly Hubbell

"Both parties have to show up to the same conversation, and you have to do emotionally uncomfortable things in order to grow."
 
In this episode, Heather and her husband, Bryan, explore what it really takes to build a strong partnership when life, health, finances, and everyday stress begin testing the foundation beneath it. Through an honest conversation about communication, leadership, emotional responsibility, and the challenges that arise when two people are growing together, they unpack the patterns that create distance in relationships and the intentional choices that rebuild trust and connection. Whether you're navigating health challenges, raising children, managing money, or simply trying to become better partners to one another, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to stop waiting for your relationship to improve and start becoming the kind of person who helps create the relationship you both want to come home to.
 
What to listen for:
☑️ Brian's breakdown to breakthrough moment that prompted him to prioritize his health
 ☑️ How health issues affect communication, connection, and the quality of relationships
 ☑️ Why not seeing the results you expect can leave you feeling broken inside
 
 
 
"As a man or a 'leader,' part of leading is sharing what you're going through and exposing others to how you deal with these things."
☑️ Why being direct and not having covert contracts creates a calm household
 ☑️ How having a parent-in-law living in your home can affect your partnership
 ☑️ 'Nice Guy Syndrome' and how it becomes detrimental to everything
 
 
 
"It's almost like your person becomes your emotional center and everything that the guy does is calculated to obtain approval from that person, trying so hard to please the person and often becoming resentful when it's not reciprocated."
 ☑️ Why men can become avoidant when dealing with uncomfortable conversations
 ☑️ Taking ownership of your side of the street during difficult partnership moments
 ☑️ Why it's essential to have regular money conversations in your marriage
 
 
 
"It's only going to get harder the more we avoid it. Money is one of the biggest factors in a healthy, happy marriage because if you don't have your money shit together, it can really really mess up your dynamic."
 ☑️ The harmony created between the visionary and integrator partnership as a couple
 ☑️ Prioritizing actions that make your partner's life easier and less stressful
 ☑️ Finding really low-hanging fruit opportunities to create a connection

1272: Is It Your Partner or Your Inability to Be Radically Honest?

"The only way to build executive functions is through relationships and experiences. Not worksheets, not lectures, not in the classroom."
 
In this episode, Heather and Mike McLeod dive into the growing conversation around ADHD, executive functioning, screen dependency, and the alarming reality of the youth mental health crisis unfolding right in front of us. This conversation challenges many of the narratives parents have been taught to accept about attention, behavior, motivation, and what children actually need to thrive. From the normalization of excessive screen use after COVID to the rise of social media pseudoscience and over-accommodation, this episode unpacks the deeper reasons so many kids are struggling with focus, emotional regulation, confidence, and failure to launch into adulthood.
 
What to listen for:
 ☑️ Why ADHD has become more prominent in conversations about our children
 ☑️ Boredom is like going to the gym for your brain, and it's crucial to childhood
 
"All of the things that are so crucial to developing a strong, healthy child and adolescent brain, we as the adults have kind of stolen from them. This is why we're in the middle of a horrible youth mental health crisis."
 ☑️ The reason this younger generation is falling behind and failing to advance like others
 ☑️ You build executive functions through relationships and experiences, not classwork
 
"Executive functioning skills are the greatest predictor of success, and it's one of the most misunderstood sets of skills. Time management and organization is the smallest possible fraction of executive functions."
 ☑️ The four pillars of executive functioning skills for independence, positivity, and success
 ☑️ ADHD isn't actually an attention disorder; it's an executive functioning disorder
 
"This generation of youth has gotten the most therapy, the most socio-emotional classes, and they're the most depressed because we're treating them with kid gloves and constantly lowering the bar."
 ☑️ What struggling with screen-time boundaries is telling you about your child's state
 ☑️ Doing less as a parent to help your child through their failure to launch

1271: Why Executive Functioning Matters More Than Grades With Mike McLeod

"There comes a time and a place when you're over intellectualizing, and you are actually trying to dig for problems. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy."
 
In this episode, Heather explores the uncomfortable space between knowing something needs to change and actually being willing to change it. For high-performing women, that gap is often filled with overthinking, fixing, researching, controlling, and searching for the "right" answer instead of taking the actions that will move them forward. This conversation is an invitation to stop waiting for the perfect plan, the perfect feeling, or the perfect timing and start moving. Because growth, freedom, and alignment are rarely found inside your comfort zone (which is what therapy tends to become), they're uncovered once you're willing to face the discomfort of uncertainty, make the decisions you've been avoiding, and start trusting yourself enough to discover who you'll become on the other side.
 
What to listen for:
☑️ Why high-performing women try to patch and control when things go wrong
 ☑️ To get to the other side of newness, you're going to have to try something new
 ☑️ Your brain is wired to keep you alive, but not necessarily to help you thrive
 
"This loneliness that you feel is because you are living a freedom-based life, and you're doing what's required to live financially in alignment with how you want to feel. And when you do that, it gets really uncomfortable because you begin to think differently."
 ☑️ Losing trust in yourself because you never had true self-trust to begin with
 ☑️ We create codependency through scarcity so that we don't have to feel
 ☑️ The reason why you can't see how much you're living from fear
 
"Reading another parenting book, sending your child to therapy, or going to therapy is your comfort zone. You have to be ready to get emotionally uncomfortable. You have to be ready to go through the storm."
 ☑️ Differing outcomes require being held accountable for taking different actions
 ☑️ What actions do you need to take consistently based on your current goals?
 ☑️ How to know whether you're making the right decision for your life
 
"If you don't move, something is going to explode in your life. But when energy is in motion and energy flows, it's healthy. It's vibrant and healing. So just get moving and take action."
 ☑️ How the unmade decisions inside of you are keeping you stagnant
 ☑️ Getting to that point where you can make a difficult decision with more ease
 ☑️ There's a time and a place for therapy, as well as for coaching

1270: When Therapy Turns Into Avoidance

"The more you face these moments of resistance, the easier it gets because you know what to expect of yourself on the other side of it."
 
In this episode, Heather and Renée Warren dive into the uncomfortable reality that, whether you're building a business, growing a personal brand, redefining yourself beyond motherhood, or pursuing a more aligned life, there comes a point where you have to decide whether you're willing to keep moving forward when the excitement fades and resistance takes over. Renée dives into the patterns that cause so many women to lose momentum when seasons change, why waiting for life to get easier keeps you stuck, and the identity shifts that occur when you stop defining yourself solely by what you do for others. This conversation is an invitation to lean into the discomfort of becoming, to trust yourself through the messy middle, and to recognize that every time you move through resistance rather than retreat from it, you build capacity.
 
What to listen for:
 
☑️ Why you shouldn't throw your habits out the window just because it's summer
 
☑️ The biggest lesson is building the muscle and being okay when things are ugly
 
☑️ Navigating the relationship shedding that comes with rising above mediocrity
 
"Summer shows up, and we come up with all these excuses as to why we should take a break or slow down. When you're trying to grow a personal brand, when you're trying to do something differently, there's no place where you can slow the momentum."
 
☑️ What happens when you remove yourself from what makes you a 'good' mother
 
☑️ Getting through the resistance that bubbles up when you start using your voice
 
☑️ How to feel worthy of what you desire without self-sabotaging it
 
"When we start silencing those voices and actually dipping into the things that we want, where we want to go, businesses we want to start, who we want to surround ourselves with, it's like you open up the next abundance portal."
 
☑️ Why it's so important to surround yourself with people who believe in you
 
☑️ Putting yourself in the energy of where you want to be and doing things differently
 
☑️ The invisible pattern of all or nothing and "life will get easier when" changes nothing

1269: The Resistance Between You and the Life You Desire With Renée Warren

"If you're not willing to fail, you won't have the emotional capacity to watch your children fail."
 
 
 
In this episode, Heather digs into the very uncomfortable reality that many women are overmothering, overnurturing, and overcompensating in ways that steal their children's ability to become motivated and productive adults. This conversation dives into the delicate balance between nurturing and enabling, guiding and rescuing, and the courage it takes to hold your boundaries when every impulse tells you to step in. At its heart, this episode is about alignment, not as a nice idea, but as a daily practice of telling the truth, trusting yourself, and feeding your own soul so you can show up as a whole, inspired adult. Because when you stop overcompensating, overproducing, and overmothering, you create space for your children to develop the resilience, motivation, and independence they're supposed to build for themselves.
 
 
 
What to listen for:
 
☑️ The game of alignment means opening whatever door you're currently resisting
 
☑️ Navigating the fear that your child won't become a productive member of society
 
☑️ Why, if you're not holding boundaries, your life often becomes absolute chaos
 
 
 
"I guarantee you have been overmothering, overnurturing, and overcompensating to avoid feeling something. And that overproducing is taking away from your children's ability to be motivated."
 
☑️ How your body does what's needed to help your create balance and alignment
 
☑️ If you're always rescuing your children, they can't learn to take care of themselves
 
☑️ When you feel whole, you're not dependent on anyone else to give you value
 
 
 
"It takes so much discernment, self-trust, and inner guidance to know when to literally go in and rescue and guide them, versus when you need to back off and hold a boundary."
 
☑️ Stop doing things from a place of task management rather than soul alignment
 
☑️ Learning to feed your soul allows you to learn the lessons your children need
 
☑️ Why we overcompensate when we realize we can't rescue other people
 
 
 
"This is the beauty of women. We are so strong, so nurturing. But the kryptonite of that is we can take away from other people gaining independence, and they become too codependent or interdependent."
 
☑️ Your kids aren't growing up to be lazy; you've just been doing too much for them
 
☑️ Who are you if your kids are independent enough not to need you as much?
 
☑️ When you feed your soul, you become a motivated, inspired, alive adult

1268: A Fed Soul Raises Motivated, Independent Adults

"When you put the time and effort into your sleep, it really does pay a massive ROI in your life."
 
In this episode, Heather and Ciara Foy unpack the physical, hormonal, and emotional shifts that leave so many middle-aged women anxious, burned out, unable to sleep, and disconnected from themselves and their lives. This conversation goes far beyond sleep hygiene and hormones, exploring the deeper patterns of self-sacrifice, stress, over-functioning, and depletion that determine women's health. We talk about why sleep becomes more difficult during this stage of life, how cortisol, insulin resistance, and nervous system dysregulation work together, and the small but powerful changes that can radically improve your energy and mood. Most importantly, this episode is an invitation to stop abandoning yourself in the process of caring for everyone else and start recognizing that feeling good, rested, and supported is essential.
 
What to listen for:
 ☑️ Why middle-aged women become insulin resistant, and how that affects sleep
 ☑️ The many changes in hormones that lead to higher anxiety and difficulty sleeping
 ☑️ How do you contribute to your stress by self-sacrificing and not letting things go?
 
"If you don't get radically honest with yourself, I don't know if your body will stick around. You have to fight to feel worthy of feeling good right now."
 ☑️ The way you treat yourself and your health is what you model to your children
 ☑️ Focusing on sleep during highly stressful times will help you avoid burnout
 ☑️ Sleep hygiene tips that most women don't know how to implement
 
"Good sleep starts in the morning. If you get up and immediately pick up your phone, you're disrupting your sleep. You need to make a commitment, even if it's 20 minutes, that you don't immediately get on your phone."
 ☑️ Why morning sunlight is crucial to your hormones and circadian rhythm
 ☑️ Managing your insulin and hormones by not intermittent fasting or eating after 7 pm
 ☑️ If you get your second wind at night, you're going to have higher cortisol levels
 
"The most important thing is just to start doing something. Pick something that you can focus on and execute from and make sure that you're just following through with that one promise that you're keeping for yourself."
 ☑️ What needs to happen to motivate yourself to implement these changes
 ☑️ The invisible value of hiring someone to help you mentally carry the load
 ☑️ Slight pivots add up and start moving you in a completely different direction

1267: The Hidden Habits Disrupting Your Sleep and Hormones With Ciara Foy

"If a child is being difficult, they're showing you their honest parts. They're showing you the parts of themselves that are struggling."
 
 
 
In this episode, Heather explores the friction that comes from holding responsibility for yourself and others while learning to stop controlling what was never yours to carry in the first place. This conversation moves through grief, fear, honesty, emotional regulation, and the uncomfortable but necessary work of recognizing where your children are reflecting back the very things you avoid within yourself. She talks about what it means to truly hold space for another human being without making their experience about your own discomfort, why presence matters more than performance or fixing, and how the relationships we build with our children are shaped in the smallest moments of connection and honesty. If you've been navigating change, questioning old ways of parenting or leading, or realizing that your (and your child's) emotional reactions are asking something deeper of you, this episode is an invitation to soften control, tell yourself the truth, and become a steadier guide for both your children and yourself.
 
What to listen for:
 ☑️ Pulling back the curtain and giving a tiny look into my content creation process
 ☑️ The reason why you carry a lot of responsibility is because that's what leaders do
 ☑️ If you were honest, what would you finally be willing to admit to yourself?
 
"Your child isn't intentionally trying to be difficult. They are being honest. And here you are, not being honest and trying to push and control their behavior."
 ☑️ A lot of fear comes right before the breakthrough, but that doesn't mean it's wrong
 ☑️ Navigating the unexpected loss and grief that comes with family and life transitions
 ☑️ The relationship you build while your kids are home determines whether they return
 
"As a parent, there's a time and a place where you have to just get to this neutral place around, that's not my shit to figure out. They are souls having a human experience, and I am just here to walk beside them."
 ☑️ Holding space for your children's journeys while also holding space for yourself
 ☑️ What you learn as you hold space for experiences you never expected to walk through
 ☑️ Your kids don't need you to find external solutions; they need you to be present
 
"What if after a tantrum, instead of being so angry and resentful and unregulated, you gave them a kiss on the forehead, and you said, 'Thank you for being honest'?"
 ☑️ We don't read verbal communication because people lie verbally, not in their actions
 ☑️ You signed up for a lifetime of being a guide to another human, so show up for it
 ☑️ Your emotional discomfort is not your child's to carry; it's your work to do

1266: Your Teen Is Not Being Difficult; They're Being Honest

"Embodiment is the wisdom that comes through from the state you're in."
 
In this episode, Heather and Laura Wieck explore what it really means to live embodied, not as another perfectionist performance, but as a practice of honesty, presence, and listening to the wisdom already alive inside you. Through the lens of parenting a child with autism and the unraveling of old identities, this conversation opens up a powerful dialogue around the ways our bodies hold emotion, where we disconnect from ourselves in the name of 'coping', and how healing often begins with simply noticing what's true without rushing to fix it. This episode is an invitation to soften the performance, reconnect with your internal guidance, and create a way of being that feels alive from the inside out.
 
What to listen for:
 
☑️ Sitting with uncomfortable emotions and seeing them as the data they are
 
☑️ How an autism diagnosis taught Laura more about embodied communication
 
"So many women, especially if you're coming from perfectionism or people-pleasing, think, 'If I can get this idea of embodiment right, everything else will just fall into place.' But physiologically speaking, it actually goes the opposite way."
 
☑️ Our bodies store emotions in our fascia, and how to identify stuck energy
 
☑️ The power of embodiment is tuning into the wisdom that's already present
 
☑️ Understanding the three brains in our body that determine alignment
 
"Embodiment starts with noticing the sensations that are present in your body. And the key here is to notice it without the label."
 
☑️ Two questions you can ask yourself to stop internalizing other people's rules
 
☑️ Staying connected to your body so that you can hear its wisdom and guidance
 
☑️ How to get back into alignment while still honoring your children's needs
 
"The more moments you create with yourself to go there, the more you deeply trust your journey of being human and not performing your way through motherhood and life and your career."
 
☑️ Navigating the difficulty and emotional toll that comes with getting what you want
 
☑️ What our children teach us and how the body keeps the score to hold healing boundaries
