You Should Fail

I know this sounds wild, but hear me out. What if failure isn’t proof you’re falling behind—it’s proof you’re moving forward?

In this episode of From Scarcity to Abundance, I get real about why failure has been one of my greatest teachers. From cults to toxic friendships, weight loss journeys to law school rejections, I’ve learned that every so-called “setback” was actually shaping me into who I was becoming.

"The comeback is always greater than the setback." ❤️‼️ -Mike the Situation

We’ll talk about why the pressure to get it right the first time is a trap, how thought leaders like Mel Robbins remind us that action comes before confidence, and why failure is the doorway to resilience, clarity, and courage.

The truth is: failure isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. ✨✨

The Universe Has Your Back

What if everything happening in your life isn’t working against you—but guiding you toward something greater? 🌌

In this episode of From Scarcity to Abundance, Blain explores what it really means to trust that the Universe has your back. Inspired by Gabrielle Bernstein’s bestselling book and wisdom from thought leaders like Eckhart Tolle, Oprah Winfrey, Wayne Dyer, and Deepak Chopra, this episode dives into:

✨ Fear vs faith and choosing love over fear

✨ Self-worth and trusting your deepest desires

✨ Synchronicity and the “signs” that guide us

✨ The power of intuition as your soul’s compass

✨ Surrendering control and embracing trust

✨ Reframing setbacks as divine redirections

✨ Practical tools to align with the Universe

✨ The role of community and connection in divine guidance

Blain shares personal stories of loss, surrender, and renewal—reminding us that even when life feels uncertain, you are never truly alone.

Reflection questions throughout invite you to pause, go inward, and reconnect with your own inner compass.

If you’ve been searching for hope, alignment, or just a gentle reminder—you’ll find it here. The Universe has your back. Always. Period.

Intuition

What happens when you trust yourself? In this episode of From Scarcity to Abundance, I dive deep into the power of intuition—how knowing yourself and trusting your gut can guide you toward the right people, places, and opportunities… and protect you from the wrong ones.

We’ll explore:

🌿 The psychology of gut feelings and decision-making

🧠 Insights from Carl Jung, Daniel Kahneman, Brené Brown & Gabor Maté

💡 Practical ways to strengthen your intuition

✍🏽 Reflection questions to help you tune into your inner wisdom

Your intuition is your inner compass—it already knows the way. The question is, are you listening?

In Alignment

Are you living your truth—or someone else’s timeline? In this episode, we explore what it really means to live in alignment in every area of life: your relationships, career, hometown, and the places and people you surround yourself with.

You’ll learn how to recognize the signs you’re out of alignment, why the “perfect life” timeline is a lie, and practical steps to realign with your values, purpose, and joy. Featuring insights from Mel Robbins and other thought leaders, this conversation will challenge you to stop settling and start living authentically.

Authenticity✨✨

What if the version of you they accepted… isn’t the real you?

In this heartfelt episode, I explore what it means to choose authenticity over attachment — with wisdom from Dr. Gabor Maté and Mel Robbins. We’re letting go of masking, people-pleasing, and internalizing just to belong.

Suppression of expression leads to depression, and truth leads to freedom.

Community

In this episode, I dive into the power of community—both online and in-person—and why we’re not meant to do life alone. After feeling isolated in a demanding corporate job, everything shifted when I was let go. 💬✨

I opened my heart to connection and began nurturing the friendships and support systems I once overlooked. I share the resources that helped me along the way, including The Five Pillars of Wealth by Sahil Bloom and Fighting for Our Friendships by Danielle Bayard Jackson📚, plus a few podcast gems that have inspired me. This is your reminder that community is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity.

EMDR AND TRAUMA

In this episode, I share how EMDR therapy opened a door I didn’t know I had locked—the part of me that never felt safe being seen. From cult trauma to self-hatred, masking, and imposter syndrome, EMDR helped me uncover the silence I learned to survive. This is a story of unraveling shame, reclaiming my voice, and finally coming home to myself.

You Have a Lifetime...

What if the pressure to “figure it all out” by 25—or 30—was a lie?

In this episode, we dive into the raw, unfiltered journey of finding yourself—not in one grand moment, but in the quiet decisions, detours, and dreams you almost gave up on. Blain shares personal reflections on shedding old identities, letting go of timelines, and redefining what it means to truly know who you are.

This isn’t about hustle, perfection, or arriving. It’s about becoming. It's not about your destination, it's about everything you learn on the way. ✨ ✨

Whether you’re starting over, questioning everything, or simply feeling lost—this episode is your reminder that you have a lifetime to come home to yourself once and for all.

Identity and Self-Sabotage

What if the version of you you’re protecting… is the same one holding you back?

This week on From Scarcity to Abundance, I’m digging deep into identity and self-sabotage—how the stories we tell ourselves (and the ones we inherited) shape the way we show up… or shrink.

I talk about:

→ The quiet ways self-sabotage disguises itself

→ Why outgrowing your past identity can feel like betrayal

→ The difference between surviving and becoming

→ And how to rewrite the scripts that keep you small

If you’ve ever caught yourself asking “Why do I keep getting in my own way?”—this episode is your mirror. I’m so happy to have you here. <3

Purpose Versus Performance

What if your purpose isn’t something you find—what if it’s something you remember?

In this vulnerable solo episode, Blain unpacks what it means to live on purpose as a 28-year-old ex-people pleaser breaking free from family expectations, religious pressure, corporate titles, and external validation. She reflects on how she’s learning to create instead of prove, and how choosing authenticity, creativity, and intentional living can shift everything.

This episode speaks to anyone who feels behind, lost, or unsure of their direction—and offers gentle reminders that your life is unfolding exactly as it should. Blain weaves in wisdom from powerful thought leaders like:

    •    Mel Robbins

    •    Brené Brown

    •    Elizabeth Gilbert

    •    Dr. Thema Bryant

With affirmations, reflection prompts, and personal stories, this episode invites you to redefine purpose—not as productivity, but as presence.

On Sleep

Without sleep you have nothing. I take you on a deeply personal journey from hating sleep as a kid to loving it as an essential part of my healing. I open up about the struggles I’ve faced with insomnia and how prescription sleep aids like Trazodone didn’t work for me. Instead, I share the intentional sleep routine that transformed my nights—and my life.

From skincare rituals and sleepytime tea to magnesium glycinate, screen time boundaries, and blackout sleep masks, I unpack the sleep hygiene habits that now help me truly rest. I even talk about mouth taping, keeping a clean environment, and how tracking your sleep can help you better understand your mind and body.

Sleep is not a luxury—it’s a non-negotiable. Without it, you have nothing. And sometimes, you have to gaslight yourself into becoming the version of you who craves sleep, because becoming someone new requires new habits.

If you’re tired of being tired, or just curious about what it means to welcome change and build healthier routines, this podcast episode is for you. If this episode resonated with you please like, share, and follow my podcast to get the message out to more people. Let me know what you think In the comments below. I'm so happy to have you here. <3

On Friendship

Friendship isn’t always easy — but it’s essential. In this episode, I open up about my personal journey with friendship: what it means to fight for the people you love, when to hold on, and when letting go becomes the healthiest choice.

We dive into the psychology of attachment styles and how they influence our connections, with insights from Fighting for Our Friendships by Danielle Bayard Jackson and Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson PsyD. I also reflect on Ashley Corbo’s powerful episode of Trying Not to Care titled “Did You Burn A Bridge Or Clear A Path?” — a reminder that boundaries aren’t always about destruction, but often about clarity and self-respect.

This conversation is for anyone who’s ever struggled with friendship breakups, questioned their worth in someone’s life, or felt the deep grief of outgrowing a once-deep connection. Because friendships matter — just as much as romantic relationships — and they deserve our care, our healing, and sometimes, our goodbye.
