We spend so much time thinking legacy is something we build "later." But it's actually happening right now- in how you treat people, how you love, how you show up. In this episode, we're reflecting on what legacy means to us and how to live with more intention, joy, and purpose every single day.
It's time to switch it up! We're putting each other in the hot seat for a rapid-fire Q&A that goes from funny to personal- and everything in between. You'll get to know us not just as coaches, but as women who are still learning, evolving, and chasing alignment every day.Find us on Instagram: @ itsyourtimecoaching Find us on Facebook: It's Your Time Mindset CoachingFind us on Youtube: @itsyourtimecoachingWebsite: www.startitsyourtime.com
Why is it so uncomfortable to be proud of ourselves? In this episode, we dive into the unspoken guilt so many women feel when they talk about their achievements, strengths, or the value they bring- whether it's in their career, their relationships, or their personal growth. From job interviews to everyday conversations, we've been conditioned to shrink our power, play it humble, and hope someone else notices our worth. But what if confidence isn't arrogance- what if it's self-trust? Paula and I unpack why we minimize our magic, how to start speaking about ourselves with confidence (without feeling "too much"), and why owning your story is one of the most powerful things you can do. Tune in, reflect, and maybe say out loud for the first time in a while- "I'm actually really good at this."Find us on Instagram: @ itsyourtimecoaching Find us on Facebook: It's Your Time Mindset CoachingFind our podcast on all major platform: Start It's Your Time Podcast

What if the season you're in isn't something to fight, but something to trust? In this episode, we dive into the power of surrender- how letting go of resistance and leaning into self-trust can change everything. We share our own personal experiences of navigating hard seasons, the lessons they taught us, and why trusting that this moment is temporary opens the door to deeper rewards ahead.

Have you ever noticed that when you're tough on yourself, you also start judging others more harshly? In this episode, we unpack the sneaky connection between self-criticism and how we view people around us.

Most importantly, we'll share how to break free- releasing harsh selft-talk, practicing compassion, and creating space for real self-love. If you've been feeling weighed down by expectations (yours or others'), this conversation is for you.

Last year, Leigh-Ann joined me on the podcast to share her heartbreaking yet powerful story of resilience after experiencing the loss of two beautiful little souls. In that conversation, she quietly hinted that maybe one day she would write a book about her journey. (Episode #39)Fast forward to today- that declaration has become reality. Her new book is launching on September 19th, and in this episode she returns to share what it was like to put her story on paper, how the writing process became part of her healing, and what she hopes readers will take away from her words. This is a conversation about grief, courage, and the strength it takes to transform pain into purpose. Whether you've experienced loss yourself or want to better support someone who has, I hope you find comfort and inspiration in her story.
There is still a few tickets left for her book launch on Sept 19th: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/book-launch-tickets-1485161821989?aff=oddtdtcreator&fbclid=IwY2xjawMkW61leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE3S2kxQWo5ZUE1UHNMNkZvAR4REGZ0jxQqF0eb8LjZ3_kLKx5yHUoNE7OSCVfR767AQUIzGyO7d9S4NBv3KA_aem_is4v25osWDfw42IXH9SVEw

As summer winds down and we step into the crisp energy of fall, we're talking all things fresh starts, routines, and organization. In this episode, we reflect on the lessons and memories of summer, how September always feels like a new chapter, and why a fall refresh is the perfect way to set yourself up for success in the final stretch of the year. We share our own thoughts on decluttering, structure, and building supportive routines- plus an exciting look at our brand-new program launching September 8th. If you're craving a reset, some inspiration, and a reminder that you don't have to do it alone, this episode is for you.
We're pulling back the curtain and letting you in on where we're really at right now- the good, the hard, and the messy in between.

This of it like sitting down with friends over coffee and catching up on the real stuff, not just the highlight reel.
Sometimes the apology never comes. The explanation never arrives. The person never gives you the words you need to hear. In this episode, we talk about the hard truth that no one is coming to hand you closure- and how to create it for yourself instead. This is your reminder that healing doesn't have to wait for someone else's permission. It's time to close the chapter, even if the ending isn't what you wanted.
What if I told you that you never see life as it is- you only see it as you are? In this solo episode, I'm diving into the invisible filter we all carry: perception. From how you interpret a passing comment to why two people can experience the same event in completely different ways, perception shapes your reality more than you realize. I'll share how to recognize your own lens, shift it when it's holding you back, and start seeing possibilities you've been blind to all along.

With Renee still in the thick of toddler life and Paula reflection in hindsight and clarity, they offer two real and vulnerable perspectives on what it's like to become parents and still try to hold onto your partnership. Whether you're navigating this chapter now or know someone who is, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone- and that the messy middle doesn't mean the end.
Ever feel like you and your partner are speaking totally different emotional languages- especially when things get hard?

In this honest, behind-the-scenes episode, we're diving into the very real (and sometimes messy) world of triggers. We open up about what tends to set us off- from the little things to the deeper stuff- and how we've learned to recognize our reactions and respond differently with the tools we've gathered over the years. This isn't about being perfectly healed- it's about noticing the patterns, understanding where they come from, and giving ourselves (and each other) grace through the process. If you've ever felt hijacked by a strong emotional reaction or found yourself spiraling and not sure why-this conversation will make you feel seen.
Ever find yourself wondering, "How did I get here...again?" In this episode, we're talking about the subtle drift that can leave you feeling disconnected from who you are- even when you're doing "all the right things" on your personal growth journey. We unpack the invisible labor, mental load, and the slow fade into overwhelm that so many women experience- and why it's not a sign of failure, but a very human part of the process. You'll hear real talk about what it looks like when you're starting to lose yourself, how to recognize the signs early, and most importantly- how to start finding your way back. If you've been feeling off, exhausted, or just not like yourself, this conversation is the permission slip you didn't know you needed.
