Change Requires Contact With Reality

One of the most common reasons women stay stuck isn't a lack of awareness. It's a lack of contact with reality. It's easy to spend years imagining the life we want, analyzing our next steps, or living in possibility while avoiding what's actually happening right now. In this episode, we're talking about why change doesn't happen in the clouds. It happens on the ground - in the conversations, decisions, behaviors, and truths we're willing to face. Because real change requires contact with reality.Join my email list: https://www.macierenae.com/

You've Changed. They Don't Like it. Now What?

What happens when you start changing for the better, but the people around you don't like it?In this episode, we're diving into the often-overlooked side of personal growth: the resistance that can show up when you begin setting boundaries, raising your standards, speaking more honestly, or showing up differently in your relationships.Sometimes the version of you that is growing no longer fits the dynamics that once worked for everyone else.We'll explore why this happens, how to navigate it without abandoning yourself, and what it means to keep moving forward when your growth makes other people uncomfortable.Ready for support?Book a complimentary consultation:Book a Consult HereConnect with Macie:Podcast: This Is Not Your Practice Life®Website: https://www.macierenae.com/Remember: Not everyone will celebrate your growth.

When "OVERWHELM" takes over YOUR LIFE.

Overwhelm is one of the most common things I hear women say… but most people don’t actually understand what overwhelm is.In this episode, we’re talking about the psychology behind overwhelm and why it happens in the first place. Because overwhelm is rarely just “too much to do.” More often, it’s emotional overload, mental pressure, decision fatigue, nervous system dysregulation, avoidance, fear, unrealistic expectations, or the weight of trying to hold everything together for everyone else.We’ll dive into:• What overwhelm actually is psychologically• Why your brain feels it and it takes over.• The connection between overwhelm and emotional intelligence.If you’re feeling mentally exhausted, emotionally stretched thin, reactive, disconnected from yourself, or like your brain won’t slow down… this episode is for you.To learn more about coaching or book a consult, visit macierenae.com.

Addressing The "Stories" We Tell Ourselves

There are stories running in your mind right now that feel completely true.They’re not loud or obvious.They’re the ones that feel familiar… automatic… unquestioned. And they’re shaping everything - your decisions, your reactions, your results. In this episode, we slow that down. We look at the sentences you’re believing and start asking a better question:Is this actually true… or is it just well-practiced?Because once you see the story clearly, you get to decide if it still belongs. And that’s where things start to change.If willing, I'd love and so appreciate if you left a review of your experience as a podcast listener or as a client of mine!

The expectations, comparisons, and quiet definitions that shape how you see yourself and what you believe you’re capable of.This isn’t about forcing confidence or pretending you feel differently.

The Self-Protective Mechanism of Being "All-In" vs. "Half In"

There’s a version of you that wants more. Deeper relationships, bigger moves, fuller expression. But there’s also a quieter force at play. The part of your brain that keeps you “half in.”In this episode, we’re unpacking the self-protective mechanism that holds you back from going all in. How it shows up in your relationships, your career, and your growth, and why it can feel so convincing.You’ll learn how to recognize when you’re holding yourself at a safe distance and what it actually takes to fully show up for the life you say you want.If you’re ready to stop circling and start leading yourself forward, you can book a free 60 minute consultation herehttps://www.macierenae.com/

The Dial — How and Why We Lose Ourselves Unintentionally

There isn’t usually a moment where you decide to lose yourself.It happens gradually. Subtly. Almost intelligently.You adjust. You accommodate. You turn the dial down on parts of yourself to make things work - relationships, expectations, responsibilities, comfort. Over time, what once felt like alignment starts to feel like distance.In this episode, we’re talking about the dial—how women slowly disconnect from themselves without realizing it, why it makes sense that it happens, and what it actually takes to turn it back up.Interested in The Immersion Collection?
