Have you ever felt like you needed someone else's approval before moving forward with something important? Or questioned whether you were good enough, ready enough, or worthy enough? From a young age, we're conditioned to look outside ourselves for validation—but what if the most powerful guidance you need is already inside you?
Your inner knowing is sacred and strong, even when it speaks in whispers. The journey of self-discovery isn't a destination but a beautiful unfolding that gets easier with practice. As your brain becomes familiar with this new way of being, your life will transform in ways you never imagined. Stop dimming your light and come home to yourself—because you're more powerful than you know, not because of what you've achieved, but because of who you truly are.

#24 Lifting the Veil: Breaking Free 18:50

10 days ago18:50

18:50

Send us a text You don't need permission to be free. The door was never locked. This is about spiritual freedom. Energetic freedom. We're exploring how to liberate ourselves from invisible conditioning that keeps us stuck in cycles of approval-seeking, overworking, self-doubt, and playing small. This episode discusses living in alignment with fifth-dimensional consciousness, where freedom isn't just a concept but a vibration. • Freedom involves recognizing and releasing old beliefs around money, time, and fear-based obligation • The "veil" represents conditioning and programming that can be rewritten • True freedom means releasing the belief that time is scarce and that our worth depends on productivity • Fifth-dimensional living prioritizes trust over fear, intuition over obligation, and flow over force • When we free ourselves, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same • Spiritual maturity means freeing yourself without forcing others to change • Freedom reverses the "have-then-be" philosophy to "be-then-have" • Journal prompts offered include examining what old beliefs influence your decisions • Meditation practice helps access the feeling of freedom in your body If you liked this episode, please let me know.

Send us a text Letting go is not about loss or giving up—it's about liberation and making space for who we're becoming. This episode explores how true freedom comes when we align with our authentic selves. Let go to grow. • Letting go requires addressing the root causes of our attachments, not just changing surface behaviors • Parents often struggle with knowing when and how to let go • Our habits and patterns serve deeper needs that must be acknowledged before lasting change can occur • True safety comes from alignment with our authentic selves, not from controlling our circumstances • Rescuing others from failure robs them of valuable life lessons and growth opportunities • Journal prompts and affirmations help identify what needs to be released • Guided meditation to integrate your work If this episode resonated with you, please share it with a friend who needs to hear it, and don't forget to subscribe, rate and leave a review.

Send us a text Have you ever caught yourself eating without tasting, talking without listening, or simply moving through life on autopilot? What if we could see how many spoonfuls of life we had left? This episode delves into the art of presence, especially during life's transitions. Life doesn't give us a countdown; it simply asks us to be here now. Where your attention flows, your awareness follows, and where your awareness goes, your life grows. When we bring our attention home to the present moment, we notice everything—our breath, the sunlight, the gratitude tucked inside even overwhelming days. As we approach the illuminating energy of the full moon, I invite you to reflect on what's being revealed in your life. What are you ready to leave behind? Letting go isn't abandonment. It is alignment. Who in your life deserves to be truly seen and heard? Join me next week as we explore the art of letting go with awareness rather than avoidance, and discover how transitions, when honored properly, bring us closer to our authentic selves. Message me on Instagram or through my Facebook group "Just Count Me In" if you'd like to explore coaching through your own transitions.

#16 What Do You Give Your Energy To? 17:30

10 weeks ago17:30

17:30

Send us a text Ever feel like you're constantly running out of time despite your best scheduling efforts? The solution might not be another productivity hack, but a complete reframe of what you're managing. In this illuminating episode, we explore why energy management trumps time management every time. Drawing from my experiences coaching high school seniors and my personal journey of breaking free from perpetual busyness, I share how our focus on time often misses the deeper issue—where we're directing our precious energy. Bruce Lipton's groundbreaking work in epigenetics confirms what many of us feel intuitively: our energetic focus shapes not just our emotions but our actual biology. That's why you can have someone accomplishing little yet feeling completely drained, while another person juggles multiple commitments and remains energized. The difference lies in energy alignment, not time allocation. Throughout the episode, I offer practical guidance for conducting your own "energy audit" to identify where your energy flows, leaks, or gets depleted. You'll learn to recognize when something is genuinely lighting you up versus burning you out, and how to create from a place of presence rather than pressure. I also share powerful affirmations from my clients that can help you protect your energetic boundaries. Your emotions are your guidance system—if something feels good, you're aligned; if it feels heavy, you're out of alignment. By becoming conscious of what you choose to amplify, you become an active co-creator with the universe rather than a victim of circumstance. Ready to transform your relationship with time by focusing on energy instead? Listen now and take the first step toward reclaiming both your energy and your time. Thank you for joining me!…

#15 Dancing With Fear - How to Move Beyond Fear of Success 13:01

11 weeks ago13:01

13:01

Send us a text Fear of success often hides behind perfectionism, procrastination, and turning down opportunities we secretly desire. Without realizing it, we develop subconscious beliefs connecting success with negative outcomes, causing us to self-sabotage and play small even as we consciously pursue our goals. • Our inner dialogue forms the blueprint of our lives, with subconscious beliefs running 90% of our behavior • Fear of success often stems from childhood experiences or witnessing successful people encounter tragedy • Society teaches us to "stay humble" and not shine too brightly, reinforcing our hesitation to succeed • Success isn't something to chase—it's a natural byproduct of living aligned with your purpose • When fear arises, thank it for trying to protect you rather than fighting against it • Like swimming, growth means leaving the safety of the shallow end to experience the thrill of the deep • Your success doesn't threaten others—it shows them what's possible • Fear appearing means you're doing something meaningful; it's a growth light, not a stop light • Special reflection prompts include identifying where fear of success appears and writing new affirmations • Use the new moon energy to commit to one small action or mindset shift this month If this episode spoke to you, please share it with someone you love who's been playing small but is ready to soar.

Send us a text Has someone ever completely misunderstood what you were trying to say? That moment of disconnect can feel isolating, frustrating, and even painful. What if I told you this common struggle could actually become a gateway to deeper connection? The fear of being misunderstood runs deep for many of us. We over-explain, second-guess our words, or hold back entirely. During this transformative episode, we explore why miscommunication happens so frequently and how to break free from this pattern. From our culture's reliance on sarcasm to our tendency to speak to the "ghosts" of who people used to be rather than who they are now, we unpack the complex factors that create disconnection in our conversations. Drawing wisdom from Brené Brown and years of coaching experience, I share practical strategies for clearer communication that honors both yourself and others. Learn how to check your intentions before speaking, paraphrase effectively, and courageously express what you're thinking when you feel misunderstood. These approaches have transformed my relationships and can do the same for yours. This spring season symbolizes new beginnings across many traditions. What better time to let go of old communication patterns and plant seeds for more authentic expression? When you step into your power by communicating clearly from your authentic self, you give others permission to do the same. Your voice matters, your truth is powerful, and your transformation has already begun. Just count yourself in. Thank you for joining me!…

#12 Motivation vs Inspiration: Finding Your True Path 24:37

14 weeks ago24:37

24:37

Send us a text Have you ever noticed the profound difference between dragging yourself through tasks and being magnetically pulled toward an idea? That distinction between motivation and inspiration isn't just semantic—it's the gateway to an entirely different way of living. Most of us were taught to operate from motivation—grabbing an idea and willing it into existence through sheer determination and discipline. Like completing taxes on a perfect swimming day, motivation gets things done but often feels like pushing against resistance. I've spent years as an educator thinking this was the gold standard of achievement. Then something shifted. I discovered that inspiration—literally meaning "in spirit"—operates from an entirely different energy. Instead of you grabbing the idea, the idea grabs you. It pulls on your heart with a knowing that defies logical explanation. As Wayne Dyer beautifully expressed, when we're inspired, "we give it over to a force greater than our physical being." This podcast explores the magical realm of possibility versus the safe boundaries of probability. Your brain naturally gravitates toward what's familiar and likely based on past experience. But your spirit? It craves expansion beyond current limitations. Remember the Queen from Alice in Wonderland who thought "six impossible things before breakfast"? That mindset opens doors to extraordinary experiences. My life transformed through following inspiration's mysterious pull—pursuing yoga teacher training that made no practical sense yet opened my heart in unexpected ways, meeting my husband of 42 years through a series of "coincidences" at jobs neither of us typically would have taken, and manifesting our dream home in South Carolina against all odds. Whether you're contemplating spring changes in your garden or your life, I invite you to listen to your soul's whispers before they become shouts. Embrace the five practical steps I share for living your most inspired life. Drop the "how," trust divine timing, move toward joy, and remember: your inspired ideas, like garden seeds, bloom in their own perfect time. Ready to step into your most inspired life? DM me the word "inspired" for a special gift. I'd love to connect and hear how inspiration is calling you forward. Thank you for joining me!…

#11 Breaking Free from Self-Sabotage 20:35

15 weeks ago20:35

20:35

Send us a text Have you ever felt like every time things start going well in your life, they mysteriously fall apart? There's actually a neurological reason behind this frustrating pattern of self-sabotage, and understanding it is the first step to breaking free. Self-sabotage isn't a character flaw or bad luck—it's what happens when your brain's need for familiarity clashes with new positive experiences. Your subconscious mind, programmed largely before age seven, runs the show 90% of the time. When success or happiness feels unfamiliar, your brain can perceive it as threatening, triggering behaviors that return you to your comfort zone—even when that zone isn't actually comfortable. Through powerful real-world examples I share insights into how these patterns form and, more importantly, how to overcome them. This New Moon in Aries offers the perfect cosmic backdrop for releasing old patterns and embracing renewal. If you're ready to increase your capacity for joy, shift from scarcity to abundance thinking, and finally allow yourself to thrive without unconsciously pulling the emergency brake, this episode provides the roadmap. Don't let your limiting beliefs continue writing your story—it's time to claim the success you've always deserved but perhaps never allowed yourself to keep. Thank you for joining me!…

Send us a text Feeling stuck in a cycle of waiting for your circumstances to change before you can experience happiness? Today's episode reveals a powerful truth: finding joy might be simpler than you think. Meet one of my coaching clients-a high school junior who went from anxious and unmotivated to confident and thriving in months. The secret? Rewire your brain for joy. We will explore how intentionally focusing on even the smallest enjoyable aspects of challenging situations can literally rewire your brain for happiness. This isn't about toxic positivity or ignoring genuine problems—it's about discovering authentic pleasure within your current reality. I share the neuroscience behind this approach, explaining how our brains naturally move toward pleasure and away from pain, and how we can use this tendency to our advantage. You'll learn practical techniques for shifting your focus, including breathing exercises, keeping a joy journal, using pressure points to calm, and the powerful "Three-Day Joy Experiment" that could transform your relationship with your daily routine. Whether you're dreading Monday mornings, feeling stuck in challenging relationships, or simply seeking more happiness in your everyday life, this episode offers a science-backed approach to experiencing more joy without waiting for external change.

#9 When Life Redirects: Finding Your True Path Through Unexpected Turns 21:47

17 weeks ago21:47

21:47

Send us a text Doubt creeps in just when we feel most certain about our path. That's exactly what happened when I packed my belongings into a small Pinto with a U-Haul attached and set off for Arizona at age 18. I had never been out West but felt an inexplicable pull toward a new life there. When my car broke down in Colorado, depleting my savings for repairs, I questioned everything. Was this a sign I was on the wrong path? I continued to Arizona only to discover within hours that it wasn't my place after all. Alone, with barely enough money for a week of expenses, I made the pivotal decision to return to Colorado—where I would ultimately spend nearly 30 years of my life. What looked like obstacles were actually perfect redirections. Like squirrels leaping between tall trees, we need to keep our eyes fixed on where we're going, ignoring the distractions and dangers along the way. When we face challenges in pursuit of our dreams, they aren't necessarily signs we're on the wrong path but opportunities for growth and confirmation. This pattern appears repeatedly in our lives. A coaching client left a relationship with a narcissist without waiting for another person to come along. Despite holidays alone and moments of doubt, she maintained her connection to deserving love and acceptance. Within months, she met her life partner. Sometimes the unexpected detour—the obstacle in the way—turns out to be the biggest and best redirection possible. Ready to trust your journey? Try making unfamiliar feelings familiar through daily practice, share your dreams with one trusted person who won't mirror your doubts, surround yourself with people who embody what you're seeking, and consider working with a coach to reprogram limiting beliefs. Remember my 103-year-old stepmom Clara Gee's advice: "Live life with bent knees," ready to pivot when necessary. Have you faced a moment where life redirected you? I'd love to hear your story.

Send us a text Do you know when to keep pushing forward and when it's time to call it quits? In this episode of Just Count Me In, I tackle the age-old dilemma of perseverance versus walking away. Inspired by personal coaching experiences, we explore stories of individuals at crossroads, like one client who grapples with staying in the school system for retirement benefits or chasing her own dreams. Borrowing insights from Seth Godin's "The Dip," we unpack how quitting, contrary to popular belief, can actually be a strategic move that adds value and aligns with our true selves. This conversation is a deep dive into mixed messages of grit and letting go, encouraging listeners to align their decisions with personal evolution and integrity. Reflect on the fine line between grit and over-functioning as I share family anecdotes of resilience and the courage to pivot when necessary. From my grandmother's remarkable escape from a pogrom to my own journey through challenges, we uncover the potent mix of passion and perseverance, as defined by Angela Duckworth. Yet, the courage to quit and embrace an authentic life is equally vital. Explore how understanding your zones of confidence, excellence, and genius can guide you towards a fulfilling path. This episode is a call to action: evaluate your life through the lens of personal values, and don't be afraid to forge a path uniquely yours. Thank you for joining me!…

Send us a text Growing up in rural New Jersey, I found connection and strength in nature, a grounding force that has been a constant companion through life's ups and downs. As the first episode of Just Count Me In unfolds, I share my personal journey of resilience shaped by family challenges and curiosity about the world's diverse spiritual paths. From my parents' divorce to exploring different religions, these experiences have taught me the importance of authenticity and transparency in relationships and helped shape my belief in a universal destination reached through various paths. As I found my calling in helping others, my early passion for education evolved into a two-decade-long career as a teacher, a role that truly resonated with my desire to guide and inspire. However, the shifting dynamics in the educational field led me to a significant crossroads five years ago, prompting the brave decision to leave the public school system. This pivotal moment birthed my coaching and tutoring business, allowing me to pursue my true calling. Join me as I reflect on these transformative life experiences, hoping to inspire listeners to embark on their own paths of self-discovery and authentic living. We are all in this together.
