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

"A lot of good things happen when we grab control of that space between our first in our second thought. There's a lot of gifts that come from just taking agency back over your own thoughts before you act."
 
What happens when we stop trying to manage emotions and start taking responsibility for the space between reaction and choice? In this episode, Heather and Chris Cullen explore a deeper, more grounded conversation about emotional regulation, gender dynamics, and why so many well-intentioned approaches to growth and healing are failing most men. They talk about respect versus control, collaboration versus competition, and how reclaiming agency over our second thought can radically change the way we relate to ourselves, our partners, and our families. This isn't about "fixing" men or "watering down" women; it's about creating environments where both can actually show up differently.
 
What to listen for:
 ✨ Why men are realizing that the old ways of "managing emotions" aren't working
 ✨ What makes traditional therapy feminine in a way that doesn't always support men
 ✨ The men in your life aren't "unmotivated"; they just have different needs
 
"Men want to feel respected, women want to feel admired. Part of the respect is bringing us into the equation versus telling us what to do. Making it pro-social for a purpose bigger than you will help ignite that flame."
 
✨ How to create space for men to feel respected and supported in their growth
 ✨ When women reclaim their power, men will naturally show up differently
 ✨ Shifting into relationship as collaboration versus competition
 
"If you come to me with a chin up and chest out, like, 'You need to do this', you're probably getting it right back. And I don't know that that friction creates a great environment to express or feel."
 
✨ Your first thought may be reactive, but you're always in charge of your second thought
 ✨ It's not your spiritual journey to manage your children or partner's experience
 ✨ Navigating the fear of anger when the men in your life are struggling

1251: Respect Over Control and Rethinking Emotional Growth for Men With Chris Cullen

"Who you are when you have to make an emotionally uncomfortable decision says everything about how quickly you will get results."
 
In this episode, Heather shares a grounded, no-bypass conversation about decision-making when your nervous system is activated, clarity feels unavailable, and quitting would be easier than staying in it. She unpacks why decision fatigue isn't about doing too much, but about avoiding the decisions that actually matter, how unmade choices quietly turn into identity-level habits, and why real momentum is built by staying in motion even when outcomes, other people, or next steps are uncomfortable and uncertain. This episode will help you stop circling the same choices, outsourcing your power to external conditions, or spiritually rationalizing why now isn't the time, because success is something we all have to consciously choose in each moment.
 
What to listen for:
 
✨ Why decision fatigue shows up and what it takes to persevere
 ✨ The real reason you're not seeing results and where you need to invest more time
 ✨ Working through the messy middle when your nervous system gets dysregulated
 
"Lock in, figure it out, and go through this emotional discomfort. Are you committing to this journey and the result that you want, or are you going to run away from it?"
 
✨ Using repetition to build the muscle of being all in and figuring shit out
 ✨ How to stay in motion when you don't know what decision someone else will make
 ✨ Being successful and achieving your goals is a decision, and it needs to come from within
 
"People are more addicted to their external environment than their internal environment. And the reality is, when you're maneuvering your emotional energy to your external environment versus your internal environment, you'll always feel out of control."
 
✨ How we use spiritual bypassing to avoid making uncomfortable decisions
 ✨ Decision fatigue is rooted in our avoidance of making decisions in real time
 ✨ No matter what your faith is, you still need to act from self-trust and discernment
 
"When you choose not to make a decision in real time, you pay the natural consequence of unmade decisions. And so oftentimes, a lot of our fatigue, which is a huge energy leak and a huge time suck, is literally coming from unmade decisions."
 
✨ Why decisions that are a year old are now identity-based habits
 ✨ You can change your personality when you change your personal reality
 ✨ How to start thinking about decision-making differently and more productively

1250: The Decisions You Avoid Are Costing You and Shaping Your Identity

"Almost everybody will overestimate how much they can grow in one year. At the same time, they underestimate how much they can grow in five."
 
In this episode, Heather talks with Jay Papasan about why doing more isn't the answer, how relentless productivity can actually work against you, and what happens when you commit to the one thing that truly matters. This is a conversation about focus as a skill, boredom as a feature of mastery, and the quiet, intentional choices that make everything else easier (or unnecessary). If you're tired of spinning your wheels and ready to aim strategically instead of swinging harder, this episode will reframe how you approach your goals, your time, and yourself.
 
What to listen for:
 
✨ What "the one thing" is, and how it applies to life roles and responsibilities
 ✨ How addiction to productivity is harming us and how to choose aligned priorities
 ✨ Training your brain to narrow its focus so that you make the most of your actions
 
"You get to pick where you're aiming the tool. You ask the question, 'What's the one thing I can do such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary?'"
 
✨ Why doing tasks earlier in the day helps bypass resistance and distraction
 ✨ Implementing the essential practice of "goals before phones" to stay on track
 ✨ Working with the human element when accountability doesn't work
 
"What would your world look like if every day, before you look at your phone, you had to look at your goals? When people are reminded of their priorities, they're more likely to keep them."
 
✨ What happens on the other side of being strategically focused and intentional
 ✨ How to make peace with the boredom of success that's required for mastery
 ✨ Getting honest about how suffering and self-sabotage are serving you (or not)

1249: The One Thing That Changes Everything (If You Let It) With Jay Papasan

"What happens when you talk about the things that you want to do is people start to make connections for you. And this is exactly what happened and what has enhanced this year's experience."
 
In this episode, Heather explores what happens when we stop waiting for the perfect moment and start choosing courage instead. This isn't a travel highlight reel; it's a behind-the-scenes look at how Heather and her family prepared, decided, and executed the big life shift of snowbirding—without burning out their family or their bank account. 
 
She opens up about navigating her own (and her child's) resistance with compassion, holding space for discomfort without detracting from the learning opportunities, and recognizing how much freedom can come from facing your fears rather than avoiding them. If you secretly want more freedom but feel overwhelmed by the logistics, are a high-functioning mom who wonders if your current lifestyle is sustainable long-term, or you've thought about relocating, traveling, or changing your rhythm but get tripped up by fear, this episode is for you.
 
What to listen for:
 ✨ Heather's fear of winter and the decision to start snowbirding for her mental health
 ✨ The intentionality and preparation that go into bringing big goals to fruition
 ✨ Navigating the underlying stress that almost kept Heather from seeing this through
 
"What Mexico gave me was the courage to do emotionally uncomfortable things, the courage to test something, the courage to try. When you wait for things to be perfect, you're never going to live out your dream because it's about progress, not perfection."
 
✨ Using the "Wouldn't it be nice?" list to create a happier and healthier experience
 ✨ The power of being open to new possibilities and getting out of your comfort zone
 ✨ Working through your child's resistance to what you know is for their highest good
 
"As long as my commitment is to be of the highest service to his mental and emotional well-being without doing his own spiritual work for him, meaning not trying to take away his pain for his own aha moments, and I can sit with his emotional discomfort, this is going to be such a growth opportunity for him."
 
✨ Looking at your shadow side, fears, and anxiety to create more freedom
 ✨ Heather's realization that her kids are detoxing from North American culture
 ✨ The magic of type two fun and why it can only come from emotional discomfort
 
"Sometimes you have to realize that what appears to be paradise on people's Instagram feeds is growth opportunities. What you don't see is that person's willingness to take a risk, that person's courage to be emotionally uncomfortable, and to experience type two fun." 
 
✨ How getting uncomfortable can open you up to incredible, new experiences
 ✨ Understanding that you're in control of your and your children's lives, no one else
 ✨ Heather's top tips for working around the inevitable fear of uncertainty

1248: Designing a Life That Travels: The Real Logistics Behind Our Family's 3-Month Relocation

"At the end of the day, our brains are wired to crave peace and order, and our outer environments can mirror our inner environment, or vice versa."
 
In this episode, Heather sits down with Katy Wells to explore overconsumption and overcommitment, as well as the many forms of clutter that quietly erode our patience, focus, and presence. Many women find themselves struggling to concentrate or feeling constantly overwhelmed, which leads them to wonder, "What's wrong with me?" This conversation reveals that it's decision fatigue and unexamined accumulation pulling attention in too many directions at once, not a personal failing. Together, Heather and Katy unpack the deeper layers of clutter rooted in identity, loss aversion, and the guilt that keeps us holding on long past usefulness.
 
What to listen for:
 
✨ The three different types of clutter that lead to continued overwhelm
 ✨ One question to break free from identity clutter and the guilt that comes with it
 ✨ Why the endowment effect keeps us from releasing what no longer aligns
 
"Loss aversion is a real thing. I don't want to feel like I failed at getting healthier or that I'm using my money the wrong way. It's helpful to reframe that loss and say, 'You know what, I did what I could', or 'Here's five other ways I'm working on my health that are simpler and better for me that don't involve a Peloton', so I feel confident in letting go."
 
✨ Navigating the emotional discomfort that comes with releasing things
 ✨ The science behind the sudden urge to declutter when we've decided to change
 ✨ Why women struggle to change their behavior and opt out of consumerism
 ✨ How to create micro counterculture moments that support the life you want to live
 
"Cultural pressure, societal pressure, or 'this is just the way it is', can make us feel like, 'Well, I guess this is just what we're gonna do', because they play to the part of our brains that wants the best for our kids. It's so nuanced, and the guilt is real as a parent." 
 
✨ How to make decisions as a family unit around commitment clutter
 ✨ Ways you can give gifts without adding more clutter to other people's lives
 ✨ How to talk to your kids about shifting from material gifts to experiences

1247: The Hidden Cost of Clutter on Your Focus, Energy, and Peace With Katy Wells

"I put myself in situations where I didn't have a back door and couldn't run away from myself. The natural consequence was that I felt lighter, and I'm finishing the year more proud of myself than I've ever been, with more confidence."
 
In this episode, Heather guides you through her unique process for creating a personalized, focused plan for 2026 that brings real lightness into your life. But that doesn't mean bypassing internal struggles or heavy emotions, because you can't reclaim your time or create more peace without addressing your biggest energy leaks. If your goal is to feel lighter next year, while bringing on more responsibilities that move you forward, this conversation will guide you to work with the four essential energy types that support real growth, so you can release what no longer fits and move forward with more ease, clarity, and self-trust.
 
What to listen for:
 
✨ 80% of how you spend your day is hiding, and why you need a north star
 
✨ The four types of energy you need to understand how to manage for growth
 
✨ Understanding the type of dreamer you are and how to work with yourself
 
✨ Why the more responsibility you have, the lighter you should feel
 
"When you begin to embody this identity of 'the more responsibility I have, the lighter I should feel', your brain begins to find evidence of how that's possible. Because the way that you manage your time and energy is focused on how light you can feel."
 
✨ Shifting the belief systems that limit your ability to experience lightness
 
✨ Continuously and relentlessly facing the parts of yourself you avoid
 
✨ Living for others as a way to feel better, but with strong boundaries
 
"You have to face parts of yourself that you've never, ever, ever faced, especially with that identity. And to be lighter, you have to let go."
 
✨ Getting radically honest about what you're sacrificing by holding on to stories
 
✨ Auditing the tasks currently on your plate to uncover what you can release
 
✨ Holding the emotional discomfort of learning how to trust and receive
 
✨ Why women often use strategy and information to avoid integration
 
"You have one precious life, and if you're wasting time on a strategy that's not working, it's time to put it down. If you are wasting it on relationships or skills that aren't working, or you feel like you've outgrown a career, it's time to put them down."
 
✨ Using community support to enhance personal growth and accountability
 
✨ Understanding that fear can be a catalyst for growth if managed intentionally
 
✨ Creating a 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' list to help clarify your desires

1246: The More Responsibility You Have, the Lighter You Should Feel

"Success is your child getting what they want out of life, including who they want to be and how they want to be."
 
College is rarely the right next step for our kids, yet parents are so bought into this outdated view of education and success. In this episode, Heather sits down with Degree Free founder, Hannah Maruyama, to unpack the best ways to support our teens in building skills that help them uncover their passion at the right time, rather than shoving them back onto the "education" conveyor belt that saddles them with freedom-stealing debt. This isn't about being anti-education; it's about being pro-reality, and Hannah brings the data, the strategy, and the cultural nuance to help parents support their kids with clarity, not fear.
 
What to listen for:
 
✨ Stepping into a leadership role as a parent, rather than controlling
 ✨ Understanding that college isn't actually the "traditional" path we think it is
 ✨ The moment Hannah realized that college wasn't teaching her anything
 
"Being strategic about what I needed from work, finding what I needed to learn, and then learning it in the most effective way possible for me at the time, within the budget that I had, I was able to get to my goal very quickly." 
 
✨ How COVID opened parents' eyes to where the education system fails kids
 ✨ Why academic book smarts aren't always relevant in the real, working world
 ✨ Navigating the "failure to launch" and why pushing them into college isn't the fix
 
"That space in between high school and college, where we feel like we have to funnel kids into something right then, is imaginary. It doesn't exist. The reason kids stall out at that time is that we've told them that the cutoff is coming so soon when it's not." 
 
✨ The fallacy of pushing kids into choosing their future profession at 18
 ✨ If GPA doesn't matter after high school, why are we killing our kids over it?
 ✨ Questions you need to ask as a parent to help guide your child's future
 
"You have these kids that are handcuffed, and they're 22 years old. They have no freedom. Their whole life trajectory has been laid out because they made this crucial, incorrect decision at 17 or 18 years old, all because no one asked them, 'What do you want your life to look like?'"
 
✨ Navigating your child's future while questioning your own in midlife
 ✨ Two questions you should never ask your kids if you want to support them
 ✨ The mindset shift that will help your kids stack skills and find their passion

1245: The Truth About College and Teaching Teens Success Skills With Hannah Maruyama

"I'm a fan of quality versus quantity and reading one book all year, but mastering everything that you have learned in that book."
 
In this episode, Heather shares her top six books for growing as a parent, business owner, and person in 2026.

✨ Getting out of your head and into your heart, because we need both
 
✨ Why you should be changing your identity at least once a year

1244: 6 Books You're Going to Want to Buy, Read, and Take Seriously in 2026

"Money is one of those things that people just consider as an afterthought. The older you get and the more responsibilities you have, you start to realize money is a tool, and it's required for health and happiness."
 
In this episode, Heather sits down with Douglas and Heather Boneparth to dig into the often uncomfortable but wholly necessary work of talking about finances with your partner. Together, they unpack what really happens beneath the surface when couples avoid money conversations, and how bringing these truths forward can transform the intimacy, teamwork, and emotional safety in your relationship. Explore the stories we inherit around money, why it feels so vulnerable to speak up, and the simple shifts that help you feel like you're on the same team again.
 
What to listen for:
 
✨ Money is not an afterthought; it's a tool for cultivating health and happiness
 ✨ How Douglas and Heather first understood that they needed to talk about money
 ✨ Overcoming the fear of speaking up with your partner about finances
 
"You're communicating even when you're not communicating. Your body language, your actions, and the way that you're passive-aggressive about it. You're just failing to say the thing that needs to be said."
 
✨ Opening the door to teamwork and shared responsibility in your relationship
 ✨ Letting go of the "Prince Charming is going to save me" and taking ownership
 ✨ The importance of acknowledging the impact partners have on one another
 
"The collective ambition needs to come to life here because you share a life together. You still get to be your own person, but you're playing a team game. Championships are won through team efforts, and this is what collaboration is all about. Your marriage is essentially a collaboration of life, and money is this game that you don't get to opt out of."
 
✨ Why freedom is emotionally uncomfortable and how to navigate that

1243: How to Navigate Money, Marriage, and Shared Ambition With Douglas and Heather Boneparth

"I understand that if I'm too comfortable, it's time to grow. Because if I'm not growing, I'm dying. And if I'm dying, I'm going to live a miserable life."
 
In this episode, Heather reflects on three big lessons she's learned over the last 12 years since her cancer diagnosis, exploring the significance of facing fears, recognizing triggers as opportunities for growth, and the importance of self-reflection in embracing a fulfilling life. This conversation isn't about recounting the many challenges she faced during healing; it's about celebrating and learning to live more fully. Because the truth is, most of us are keeping ourselves so busy we can't experience growth, leaving us in a perpetual state of survival. 
 
This conversation encourages us all to move past chronic suffering and to realise that we're not dead yet, so let's focus on feeling alive and energized while we're still here.
 
What to listen for:
 
✨ Leaning into your stories and the impact you want to make
 ✨ Understanding that suffering isn't living, and you're not dead yet
 ✨ The reason why so many people live like the walking dead
 
"There's a huge difference between being emotionally uncomfortable and working through fear and resistance. That chronic suffering, chronic pain, isn't living, and you're not dead yet. So you need to learn how to feel alive and energized while you're still alive."
 
✨ Why it's essential to understand the feeling that you're chasing
 ✨ How Heather moved through the terror and the story that she was going to die
 ✨ The importance of becoming the adult that you needed as a child
 
"I had to face my fear of death in order to learn how to face my fear of living. I had to train myself to run towards how I wanted to feel. That was scary to me because I had no evidence, but it started me on this catalyst of curiosity."
 
✨ Why the people triggering you the most are your greatest teachers
 ✨ How to keep triggers from dictating your connections
 ✨ The importance of taking responsibility for how you want to feel
