About the show

Create your life from the inside out. This is the podcast for women of faith who feel called to rise higher, live with purpose, and finally become the woman God has been nudging them to step into. You're here to build a life that doesn't crumble when things get hard- one grounded in clarity, calm, and an unshakable trust in the One who guides you. Host Kirsten Tyrrel, thought leader and emotional mastery mentor, brings you powerful conversations and straight-to-the-point solo episodes that teach you how to lead yourself with spiritual strength and emotional steadiness- in your relationships, your health, your business, and every stewardship God has placed in your hands. Through real talk, personal stories, and interviews with women who've rebuilt from the inside out, you'll learn how to: Stop spiraling and start creating with intention Anchor your worth in God, not achievement Reconnect with your divine identity and Heaven's vision for your life Build emotional strength that helps you stay aligned, even when life gets messy This isn't another mindset podcast; it's a recalibration back to truth. Each episode will challenge you to rise above fear, live from identity instead of insecurity, and co-create with God a life that reflects the woman you were designed, on purpose, to become. Because when you become unshakable, everything changes.

The Real Cost of "Doing It All": A Mom CEO's Cautionary Tale After a 7-Figure Exit

Ally Adair Chung scaled a seven-figure learning center in six years while homeschooling three kids — then sold it. In this conversation, she tells the full version of that story, including the part most success stories leave out: what the growth actually cost her nervous system, her marriage, and her ability to be present for any of it. If you've ever been told the answer is "more hustle," this is the cautionary tale nobody gave you before you started. Inside this episode: • Why racing thoughts in the shower are not a badge of honor • The "jumping" pattern that makes you absent in every role you're playing • Ally's Maslow-level test for burnout (if you forgot to eat, drink, or use the bathroom today, this one's for you) • The quote that changed how Ally thinks about motherhood and business: "The battles we don't fight, we hand to our children" • A live coaching moment on the real fear hiding behind "I don't want to make content" • How to rebuild a business slowly, on purpose, after the first version burned you out About Ally: Ally helps school founders — micro schools, homeschool hybrids, and learning alternatives — grow and scale sustainably. She has worked with over 1,000 families worldwide, built and sold a seven-figure learning center, and now coaches others to build without losing themselves. 🔗 Connect with Ally: Instagram, https://disruptoredu.com 🔗 Connect with Kirsten: Instagram TikTok Email: hello@kirstentyrrel.com Subscribe to Unshakable Success with Kirsten Tyrrel wherever you listen, so you don't miss what's coming.

What a Near-Death Experience Revealed About Love, Purpose, and Now

You don't need a near-death experience to wake up… but you do need a moment where you stop living on autopilot. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Vinney Tolman, author of The Light After Death, to talk about what shifted for him after being found clinically dead in 2003- and what he brought back that changes how you live right now. We talk about authenticity (the real kind… not the "I overshare on Instagram so I'm healed" kind 😅), the power of the present moment, what it means to live in your "soul song," and why forgiveness isn't just spiritual- it's freedom. This conversation is especially for you if you're a woman of faith, a mom, or a leader who's successful on paper… but craving deeper peace, purpose, and alignment. You'll learn: ✅ What authenticity actually is (and why toddlers + 85-year-olds are the pros) ✅ How to tell if you're living your dream… or someone else's ✅ Why "destination is the journey" (and what that changes about goals + ambition) ✅ Vinney's simple breath practice to shift your state fast ✅ How to recognize your soul's imprint- and start living from it ✅ Why forgiveness is the "fence" that either blocks or opens your personal heaven ✅ What Vinney learned about love, connection, and what real wealth is on the other side Connect with Vinney: The Light After Death Book - https://amzn.to/4qpxUxq Work with Vinney: LivingGodsLight.org Vinney's Instagram: www.instagram.com/vinneytolman Vinney's Facebook: ttps://www.facebook.com/vinneyt Join the Unshakable Collective to learn how to shift from survival to peace in your daily life HERE.

Stop Overthinking in 2026: Take Messy Action Today (The 2016 Lesson I Forgot)

10 years from now, you won't regret that it wasn't perfect… you'll regret that you didn't start. There's a trend going around comparing 2016 vs 2026, and when I looked back at my own life, I realized something huge: the messy action I took back then is still impacting my life and business today.

You'll learn: ✅ why overthinking is a safety response (not laziness) ✅ how your brain pulls evidence from the past to keep you "safe" ✅ why motivation doesn't work when you don't feel emotionally secure ✅ my simple 10-Minute Move to stop spiraling and take action ✅ a 7-day challenge to build momentum and self-trust again If you're a mom, entrepreneur, or woman of faith who feels overwhelmed, unsure, or ready to stop playing small… this episode will help you move forward. ✨ Want coaching + community + deeper emotional regulation tools?

Confident Teens, Confident Parents: Navigating the Adolescent Years Together with Brooke Romney

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Brooke Romney, a writer and parenting expert who focuses on helping parents navigate the teenage years with confidence and grace. Brooke shares her journey from blogging about family activities to becoming a go-to resource for parents of teens, offering invaluable insights on building confidence, fostering independence, and maintaining strong relationships with our children as they grow. Key Takeaways: Evolution of purpose: Brooke's path from writing about family activities to addressing the unique challenges of parenting teens demonstrates how our callings can evolve over time. Confidence through action: True confidence comes from doing hard things and overcoming challenges, not from constant praise or shielding from difficulties. Empowering vs. rescuing: Parents should focus on empowering their children to handle challenges rather than always trying to rescue them from discomfort. Character-based compliments: Praise children for their character traits and efforts rather than just outcomes or innate abilities. Intentional parenting decisions: Make choices based on love and empowerment rather than fear and guilt. Social skills as learned abilities: Recognize that social confidence and skills can be developed with practice and guidance. Modeling growth mindset: Show children how to receive feedback and grow from challenges by doing so yourself. Actionable Tips: Encourage your teens to do things that feel hard, allowing them to build competence and confidence. When giving compliments, focus on internal qualities and character traits rather than just external achievements. Create opportunities for your children to contribute meaningfully at home and in their communities. Practice taking feedback gracefully and model how to grow from constructive criticism. When making parenting decisions, ask yourself if you're acting out of fear and guilt or love and empowerment. Help your children develop social skills and manners to increase their confidence in various situations. Allow your children to experience natural consequences and learn from their mistakes instead of always rescuing them. Resources Mentioned: Brooke's Instagram: @brookeromnywrites 52 Modern Manners for Teens 52 Modern Manners for Kids Remember, building confidence in our teens starts with cultivating our own unshakable confidence as parents. By focusing on character development, providing opportunities for growth, and maintaining open communication, we can help our children navigate the challenging teen years with resilience and self-assurance.
