Ep. 151 - Why Self-Love Feels Selfish (And How to Stop Feeling Guilty)

Self-love feels selfish for a reason, and the reason starts long before you turned seven. A friend asked me recently how she could honor herself without the guilt, and I knew that question deserved a whole episode. I cover where that guilt comes from, why fear is so good at disguising itself as love, and the one distinction that changed how I show up in every relationship I have. The question I ask myself before saying yes to something my body already said no to Why the pitcher you have been pouring from was never built to refill itself The difference between being responsible TO someone and responsible FOR them, and where people-pleasing hides in that gap If you've spent most of your life being the person everybody else counts on, this one is for you. 👉 View the Episode Page: https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/why-self-love-feels-selfish WAYS TO GO DEEPER Free Manifesting Cheat Code: https://iam-lifebydesign.com/cheatcode Book a free Identity Gap Assessment call: https://iam-lifebydesign.com/consult Follow along on Instagram: https://instagram.com/lachellewieme Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 150 - Why Affirmations Don't Work When You Don't Believe Them feat. Connie Rose

Affirmations don't work when you don't believe them, and there's a reason for that. After losing her 18-year-old son, Connie Rose found herself in a wheelchair, on six medications, and repeating affirmations that were making everything worse. What she found in the research changed the order of operations completely. The one-word swap that stops your brain from rejecting your own affirmation What has to settle in your body before any identity work can land, and why your tools go quiet without it Why your brain pulls up memories more easily than goals, and what that means for the future you're building Connie's story is proof that you can lose the identity you built your whole life around and still build one worth living. 👉 View the Episode Page: https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/why-affirmations-dont-work Meet Connie Rose: Connie Rose is an NLP Master Coach, Frequency Wellness and Soul Alignment Expert, and professional musician with more than 25 years of using sound, rhythm, and voice as tools for transformation.

Ep. 149 - Why Smart Women Don't Trust Themselves and How to Rebuild It

The smartest women I know run seven-figure businesses and still don't trust themselves. They manage teams, own buildings, and solve problems all day long, and then they sit across from me afraid to make one decision they already know the answer to. Confidence is what everybody else sees. Self-trust is what's happening on the inside, and this week I'm getting into how it gets trained out of us and how you rebuild it.

Ep. 146 - Stop Trying to Fix Yourself: Escape the Self-Improvement Trap

I spent twenty years trying to fix myself. Turns out THAT was the problem. Here's what I've come to see: most people aren't stuck because something is wrong with them. They're stuck because they're operating from an identity that no longer matches where they're being called to go. One belief creates shame and keeps you chasing. The other creates possibility, and it changes everything about how you grow. A seed doesn't get dug up every day so you can check whether it's growing. It gets planted, watered, and trusted, and I walk you through what it looks like to grow yourself the same way. The real reason another course, book, or certification never quite scratches the itch , and what that endless craving is really pointing to underneath The single question most personal growth is quietly built on , and why that one assumption guarantees you keep circling the same block instead of moving past it Why becoming looks nothing like fixing , plus the simple seed analogy that reframes the entire way you think about growth and progress If you're tired of treating yourself like a problem to solve, consider this your invitation to stop, take a breath, and grow the way a seed does, by becoming who you already are instead of fixing who you're afraid you're not. 👉 Episode Page: https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/stop-trying-to-fix-yourself-self-improvement-trap 📩 Download the Manifesting Cheat Code https://iam-lifebydesign.com/cheatcode 📅 Sign Up For a Free Identity Gap Assessment: https://iam-lifebydesign.com/consult ❤️ Connect on IG https://instagram.com/lachellewieme Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 145 - How to Keep Going When Life Falls Apart with Andrea Niestas

Andrea Niestas spent 20 years helping people through the worst mental health crises of their lives. Two years ago she became the patient, and everything she knew about resilience got tested from a hospital bed she wasn't sure she would leave. A medication change she couldn't afford spiraled into septic shock, a coma, and surgery that removed most of her colon. She woke up unable to move, talk, or even point to letters on a board. What pulled her out wasn't a breakthrough or a miracle. It was one decision, made on purpose, that things could get better. We get into why hopelessness keeps people stuck, how gratitude becomes the first clue that change is possible, and why we tend to move more from pain than from pleasure. It applies whether you are fighting for your life or just tired of settling for fine. The question Andrea started asking herself in that hospital bed that flipped her from "why did I even survive this" into something that finally moved her forward Why gratitude has nothing to do with rose colored glasses, and the small shift that gets your brain hunting for hope instead of collecting proof that it's hopeless The three word framework Andrea now teaches that carried her through recovery, and how to start using it long before you ever hit a breaking point If you are stuck in the messy middle of something hard, this one is proof it can get better, and that the first step is smaller than you think. 👉 Episode Page: https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/how-to-keep-going-when-life-falls-apart 📩 Download the Manifesting Cheat Code https://iam-lifebydesign.com/cheatcode 📅 Sign Up For a Free Identity Gap Assessment: https://iam-lifebydesign.com/consult ❤️ Connect on IG https://instagram.com/lachellewieme Meet Dr. Andrea Niestas Dr. Andrea Niestas is a clinical psychologist, transformational coach, and wellness speaker with over 25 years in behavioral health, including 15 in leadership.

Michelle Mikel spent twenty years staring at a black line at the bottom of a pool, the one thing in her lane that never moved and never talked back. She didn't know yet that line would end up naming her book, and the system that pulled her business back from the brink. In this episode, Michelle gets real about the season that cracked her open: a miscarriage, a devastating loss on her team, and a marriage under real strain, all within a matter of months. Out of that mess came the one non-negotiable habit that changed how she runs her business, and it has nothing to do with posting more content. The one daily habit Michelle refuses to skip, and why it matters more than anything she posts on social media What "leverage" really means in prospecting, and why it's the word that changed how she messages strangers Why Michelle believes burnout has nothing to do with doing too much If you've ever felt like you're posting nonstop and still not seeing results, this conversation will change how you think about what's actually driving your business. 👉 Episode Page: https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/one-daily-habit-replaces-content-grind 📩 Download the Manifesting Cheat Code https://iam-lifebydesign.com/cheatcode 📅 Sign Up For a Free Identity Gap Assessment: https://iam-lifebydesign.com/consult ❤️ Connect on IG https://instagram.com/lachellewieme Meet Michelle Mikel CEO & Founder of Berman Media PD, Creator of Beyond The Method™️ and Author of The Black Line Michelle is a nationally sought-after expert in social media prospecting and leverage, Michelle has worked with thousands of entrepreneurs and professionals, teaching them how to transform social media from a vanity platform into a revenue-generating tool.
