What’s up, gorgeous soul? Today, we’re diving deep into a conversation that will shake up everything you thought you knew about identity evolution. Because let’s be real, when life hands you a massive shift, it can feel like the ground beneath you is crumbling. But what if instead of resisting it, you fully leaned in?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a loop of entertaining old patterns, playing small, or clinging to an outdated version of yourself, this episode is your wake-up call.

127: Unshaming Fame: Why Wanting to Be Known Is Sacred

What’s up gorgeous soul, today we’re diving into a topic that gets so many of us in a twist: is it bad to want to be famous for your work? Spoiler alert, it’s not just okay, it’s powerful AF. This episode is all about reclaiming the sacredness of your desires and reframing fame as a way to amplify your impact, serve at a higher level, and fully step into your unapologetic leadership.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink your dreams or second-guessed your big vision, you are NOT alone. I’m breaking down the messy, raw, and liberating truths about visibility, success, and what it means to want more in a way that’s aligned with your purpose. Get ready for a heartfelt conversation and some tangible, empowering insights!

126: Unf*ck Your Relationship With Responsibility

What’s up gorgeous soul, today we’re diving into one of the most vital shifts I’ve navigated both personally and professionally: radical responsibility. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how taking full ownership of our lives, businesses, and self-expression can be the ultimate gateway to liberation and impact.

If you’ve ever felt torn between your desire for freedom and the weight of responsibility, you’re not alone. This is the episode for you. I’m sharing the messy, raw, and empowering truths of my journey—from motherhood’s initiation to reimagining leadership where I’ve unf*cked my relationship with the responsibility that my big vision holds. Get ready for some real talk, tangible insights, and a whole lot of love.

In This Episode:

00:00 – Welcome and the theme of radical responsibility.

03:00 – How motherhood became the ultimate initiation into leadership.

06:15 – The nervous system’s role in balancing self-care and family dynamics.

09:45 – Overcoming the fear of responsibility as a threat to freedom.

14:00 – Reclaiming visibility: Addressing subconscious blocks to being seen.

18:30 – The interplay of joy, fulfillment, and purpose after big life transitions.

23:15 – Discipline vs. devotion: Building momentum toward your vision.

28:00 – Embracing discomfort: The growth cycles of leadership.

33:00 – Aligning actions with legacy and impact.

38:00 – Closing reflections and an invitation to step into your power.


Key Takeaways

Radical responsibility is the cornerstone of authentic leadership.

Balancing freedom with responsibility allows for deeper alignment and purpose.

Visibility blocks often stem from subconscious fears of rejection, judgment, and overwhelm.

Motherhood can be a profound teacher, showing how fulfillment and joy impact everyone around us.

Discipline and devotion aren’t about restriction—they’re acts of self-love that build momentum toward your vision.

Growth isn’t linear; it’s a spiral where lessons resurface, offering deeper transformation.

121: Self-Sabotage & Why You’re Always Getting Exactly What You Want

In today's episode we explore a fascinating and somewhat controversial topic—how your unconscious is the driving force behind getting exactly what you want in life, even the things that you're frustrated by & that you tell yourself that you don't want. I know this might sound a bit wild, but trust me, by the end of this conversation, you'll have a whole new perspective on why your reality is a direct reflection of what you're unconsciously seeking & how you're actually amazing at getting exactly what you want.

In this episode, we're going to uncover the deep, often hidden, layers of our unconscious. I'll share some enlightening stories from my clients and my own life that highlight how our deepest needs and desires shape our reality, often in ways we don't consciously recognize. So, get ready for some powerful insights and breakthroughs that could transform how you approach your goals and dreams.

110: Ali Mapletoft: The Courage to Be Seen - Artistry, Wealth, and Authentic Expression

In this episode of the Embodied Leadership Podcast, I'm joined by Ali Mapletoft (@alimapletoft_artist), creative director, coach, and consultant for ambitious visionaries and changemakers. Together, we delve into the profound subjects of ambition as a love language, the inherent desire for visibility, the universal artist within each of us, and wealth as an authentic form of creative expression. 

Ambition isn't a negative trait; it's a natural yearning for connection and self-expression. Ali shows us this and urges us all to shed any shame associated with our longing to be seen and to embrace the unique artistry that resides within us. 

Our discussion takes an intriguing turn as Ali challenges the common misconceptions surrounding wealth, presenting it as a genuine creative outlet. Throughout our conversation, the recurring theme of radical honesty emerges as a cornerstone for true leadership and self-acceptance, underscoring the vital need to be present and authentically engaged in our journeys.

  • Authenticity is crucial for personal growth. Embracing radical honesty and allowing oneself to evolve involves acknowledging and moving on from past selves.
  • Every individual possesses innate creativity and artistry, which often goes unrecognized due to societal conditioning. Reclaiming and expressing this inherent creativity is vital for personal fulfillment and societal contribution.

Quotes:

  • “Ambition has somehow become a dirty word, but actually it's such a personal thing." - Ali
  • "We are all artists. It's absolutely innate within us. It's not a special skill, necessarily. It's part of our being." - Ali
  • "Money amplifies in many ways what is already there. So if you are coming into the world with so much playfulness and compassion and desire to be of service, then money can amplify that." - Ali
  • "The most important masterpiece is you, and that’s the piece that you get to work on." - Ali
