149 | Your Time to Rise: Unlearn Limiting Beliefs, Unlock Your Power, and Unleash Your Truest Self with Arivee Vargas

Gather in Growth

What happens when the career, the success, the expectations you lived by suddenly feel too small for who you're becoming and no longer fits?

In today’s powerful conversation, author, speaker, and coach Arivee Vargas joins us to unpack the messy, beautiful, and often painful journey of rising into your truest self. Together, we dive deep into how cultural, societal, and personal conditioning shapes our identities—and what it really takes to start unraveling the rules you never chose.

Whether you're standing at a crossroads, feeling the ache of growth, or waking up to the realization that you are meant for more—this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

In this episode, we explore:

• The weight of cultural, societal, and corporate expectations—and how they silently shape who we believe we’re supposed to be
• Understanding the difference between programming (what you’ve absorbed) and truth (who you really are)
• Why awakening to your true self is not a crisis — it’s a natural evolution
• The slow, messy, sacred process of unlearning “good girl” conditioning and survival-mode habits
• How to listen to the whispers of your body (before your mind tries to rationalize them away)
• Grieving the loss of old identities, roles, and versions of yourself that no longer fit
• How "achievement addiction" and constantly moving the goalpost keeps us trapped in cycles of never-enoughness
• Navigating guilt, fear, and criticism when you choose to live differently than what others expect
• Why entrepreneurship is the ultimate mirror for personal growth (and how it forces you to confront your limiting beliefs daily
• Reclaiming rest, play, curiosity, and connection as essential parts of healing and growth
• Arivee’s simple, reusable four-part framework for rising through life’s inflection points
