56- The Real Stuff: 11 Lessons from 11 Years of Marriage (and Still in Love)

After 11 years of marriage, we've learned a lot—and today, Josh and I are inviting you behind the scenes. From navigating IVF and betrayal to everyday logistics like shared calendars, these 11 lessons aren't just sweet—they're hard-earned. Whether you're single, married, or somewhere in between, this episode will help you grow in love, communication, and resilience.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

  • Why love is still patience and kindness
  • The power of curiosity, good assumptions, and core values
  • Communication tools we swear by (yes, including shared calendars)
  • Pursuing each other, surviving hard seasons, and building your circle
  • How to hold space for each other without losing yourself

Plus, we’re asking:

  • Do you assume the best in your partner—or brace for the worst?
  • Are your daily interactions building intimacy or tension?
  • What’s one value you both share that you can return to this week?


This one’s honest, a little raw, and full of hope. Whether you're just starting or deep in the journey, we hope it feels like a double date with your besties who want your love to win.


💭 5 Deep Reflection Questions from the Episode:

  1. What assumptions do you make about your partner's intent that might be hurting your connection?
  2. In what ways are you still pursuing your partner—and where have you grown lazy?
  3. What are your shared values, and are you living in alignment with them daily? (And if you don’t have them, now’s the time to create them.)
  4. Am I valuing my partner's voice… or just my own?
  5. When hard things happen, do you turn toward each other or away?


📣 Calls to Action:

55- I Thought I’d Have My Life Together by Now...

Do you ever feel like you're behind in life? Like you should be married by now, have more money, or finally be healed? You're not alone—and more importantly, you're not broken. In this powerful episode, Dr. Britt explores the shame and self-doubt that arise when our internal timelines don’t match reality. Drawing on attachment theory, positive psychology, stoic wisdom, and NLP, she helps you rewrite the story and shift into purpose and peace.

🔍 Thought-Provoking Questions:

  1. What silent timeline have I been measuring myself against?
  2. Whose voice or value system created that timeline—mine, family, culture, religion?
  3. What if this timeline is actually for me, not against me?
  4. How would I show up differently if I trusted I’m exactly where I’m meant to be?
  5. What meaning can I choose to give this current chapter of “not yet”?

54- Make Your Dreams a Reality

Hey Best Friend—have you ever had a dream that felt too big, too scary, or too unrealistic to pursue? In this episode, I’m challenging the idea that your dreams are too much. Because they aren’t—they’re actually clues to your purpose.

We’re diving into:

  • Why dreams are connected to your identity, wholeness, and healing

  • How to actually make your dreams real with micro-actions, clarity, and support
  • What it means when your dreams don’t go away (even when you try to silence them)

You’ll learn how to clarify what you really want, overcome limiting beliefs, and take action that aligns with your values, vision, and identity.


💭 Thought-Provoking Questions:

  1. What dream have you been minimizing or deferring—and what would happen if you stopped waiting for permission?
  2. What beliefs or stories have convinced you you’re not allowed to go after what you want?
  3. How would you show up this week if you truly believed your dream was yours to pursue?
  4. What’s one small action you can take in the next 24 hours to bring that dream closer?
  5. Who needs to hear this dream—so you’re not carrying it alone?

53- I’m Sorry, But Am I Really? The Psychology of Apologizing (And When to Stop)

Hey Bestie—whether you're someone who over-apologizes for existing or resists apologizing even when it matters… this episode is for you. 🙋‍♀️

Apologizing is powerful when it's genuine—but when we misuse it, it creates disconnection, resentment, and reinforces unhealthy dynamics. Today, we’re diving into the psychology behind saying sorry: when we should, when we shouldn’t, and how to apologize in a way that actually strengthens relationships and self-leadership.

We'll explore:

  • How attachment styles impact how we apologize
  • The difference between shame-based apologies and values-based ones
  • A simple framework for real, healing repair
  • When to stop apologizing altogether (like for having needs or boundaries!)

You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to apologize well without losing yourself in the process.


🧠 Key Themes:

  • NLP, attachment theory, and positive psychology on the power of apology
  • The five-part apology framework
  • How to stop saying sorry for things that don’t need one
  • Why asking for forgiveness matters
  • What healthy repair looks like in relationships

💭 Reflection Questions:

  1. Where do I tend to over-apologize?
  2. Where do I resist it—and why?
  3. What did I learn about apologizing growing up?
  4. What would it feel like to apologize with clarity not shame?
  5. Is there a relationship that needs a real apology—or a clear boundary instead?


📣 Take Action:

  • Check out the Episode on Boundaries 
  • Send this to a friend who over-apologizes or struggles to own their part—lovingly, of course 💌
  • Book a breakthrough to release the unconscious stories driving over- or under-apologizing
  • Want to coach through transformation like this? ICC might be for you—learn how to use tools like NLP and values-based language in coaching

52- Go For No: Kick Rejection to the Curb

Hey bestie—real talk. How often do you stop yourself from asking, launching, inviting, or applying… because the thought of someone saying no feels unbearable? What if I told you that "no" doesn’t equal failure—it’s actually a strategy for personal growth?

In this episode, I’m unpacking the psychology of going for no. Not just enduring it. Embracing it. From attachment wounds and rejection sensitivity to positive psychology’s agency thinking, we’re flipping the fear-based script and turning rejection into resilience. If you've ever avoided an ask because the answer might hurt—this one’s for you.


✨ Key Takeaways:

  • Rejection sensitivity is real and often rooted in attachment wounds—but avoiding “no” also means avoiding “yes.”
  • Positive psychology shows that people who take aligned risks report higher life satisfaction—even when they fail.
  • NLP’s “the map is not the territory” reminds us that "no" is filtered through someone else's world. It's not a rejection of you.
  • Stoic principle: You can’t control the outcome—only your ask, your attitude, and your effort.
  • MER & NLP tools help release unconscious emotional baggage tied to rejection.
  • Celebrating courage over outcomes retrains your brain to feel proud of effort, not just results.
  • Anchoring & visualization help you embody confident action—even in the face of a no.



🧠 Five Thought-Provoking Questions:

  1. What do I currently believe that “no” means about me?
  2. What’s one area I’ve avoided out of fear of rejection?
  3. What opportunities might be waiting on the other side of a “no”?
  4. Who would I become if I wasn’t afraid to ask?
  5. What’s one bold ask I can make this week—even if I hear “no”?


📣 Calls to Action

  • 💬 DM me on Instagram (@drbrittanylashua) and tell me: What bold ask are you making this week?
  • 🎧 Share this episode with a friend who needs courage to ask for what they want.
  • 🔁 Tag me when you go for a no—I want to cheer you on!

51- Letting Go of Perfectionism: Embracing Imperfection in Daily Life

Perfectionism feels like a pursuit of excellence… but really? It’s just fear in disguise. Fear of being judged, rejected, or simply not enough. In this episode, Dr. Britt helps you break up with perfectionism—not because you're giving up, but because you're finally giving yourself permission to be fully, beautifully human.

You’ll learn why perfectionism isn’t actually serving your growth, how it’s keeping you stuck, and how to start choosing presence, purpose, and peace instead.


In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

💡 Why perfectionism is emotional armor, not excellence
💡 What NLP, Stoicism, and Positive Psychology teach us about releasing unrealistic standards
💡 The difference between healthy striving and toxic pressure
💡 How to reframe your identity and rewrite your inner narrative
💡 Practical ways to build tolerance for “good enough”
💡 How to challenge the “what ifs” keeping you stuck in performance mode
💡 Why embracing your imperfections is the key to authentic connection, peace, and power


Reflection Questions:

  1. Where in your life do you confuse perfection with safety?
  2. What would it feel like to be loved as you are, not as you perform?
  3. What identity do you want to lead with: perfectionist or wholehearted human?
  4. Whose approval are you chasing—and what is it costing you?
  5. What’s one area of your life where you’re ready to let imperfection be enough?


Next Steps:

50- Feedback is the Breakfast of Champions

Let’s talk about the F word… feedback. Most people avoid it. But champions? They eat it for breakfast. In this episode, Dr. Britt breaks down why feedback is one of the most powerful tools for growth, how to receive it without spiraling, and how to actually use it to become the version of you you’re meant to be. Because real growth? Often starts with something that stings a little.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling attacked, taking things personally, or getting defensive when someone gives you feedback—this one’s for you.


In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

💡 Why feedback is not rejection—it's refinement
💡 How to reframe feedback from threat to tool
💡 Why NLP, Stoic wisdom, and Positive Psychology all encourage feedback as a growth strategy
💡 How to regulate your nervous system so you can receive instead of react
💡 Why feedback is data, not a verdict
💡 How to use the "filter and keep" method to discern what’s helpful vs. what to release
💡 What to do when the wrapping paper is ugly, but the message is gold


Reflection Questions:

  1. What is your default response when someone gives you feedback—curiosity or defense?
  2. Whose feedback do you fear the most, and what does that reveal about your story of worth?
  3. When was the last time you asked for feedback—and what did it teach you?
  4. What piece of feedback have you received that is still shaping you today?
  5. If you truly believed that feedback was a gift—even when it stings—how would your life look different?


Next Steps:

👉 Want to become more emotionally resilient and less reactive to feedback? You might be carrying unresolved emotional baggage.

49- Create Your Identity

Hey bestie—have you ever looked around your life and thought, “Is this even me?” Like you’re playing a part in someone else’s script, wearing roles and labels that don’t quite fit? Today’s episode is all about identity—the messy, evolving, powerful core of who you really are beneath the roles, trauma, expectations, and pressure to be perfect. This conversation is the foundation for transformation, and it’s so important, Dr. Britt made it the first chapter of her book.

Whether you’ve been stuck in patterns that no longer serve you or you’re ready to step into the most aligned version of yourself, this episode will walk you through the importance of identity, what it truly is (and isn’t), and practical steps to reauthor your story from the inside out.

You don’t have to stay who you’ve always been—and after today’s conversation, you’ll know exactly how to start changing from the identity level out.


🧠 Thought-Provoking Questions:

  1. Whose voice have I been listening to when it comes to who I’m “supposed” to be?
  2. What story have I been telling about my identity—and is it one I actually want to keep?
  3. What beliefs about myself are no longer serving me and need to be rewritten?
  4. What would it feel like to live fully in alignment with my core values and identity?
  5. What action can I take today that aligns with the identity I’m choosing to step into?


💛 Final Takeaway:

Your identity isn’t found—it’s created. You’re not stuck. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re just becoming. And when you start intentionally choosing who you are, the rest of your life will shift in response. So stop living in reaction and start living in alignment with who you were actually meant to be.

48- Overcoming People-Pleasing: Learning to Say No with Confidence

🔥 Episode Summary:

How many times have you said yes when everything in you wanted to say no?
In this powerful episode, Dr. Britt unpacks what’s really behind people-pleasing—spoiler alert: it’s not kindness, it’s often fear. She explores the psychology behind the pattern, including how NLP, MER, and stoicism help us identify the root causes, rewrite our responses, and reclaim our power to say no with confidence and calm.


💡 What You’ll Learn:

  • Why people-pleasing is a strategy, not your identity
  • The difference between kindness and self-abandonment

  • Tools from NLP, MER, and positive psychology to break the pattern
  • How to visualize and future-pace a more aligned, confident version of you
  • What it really means to say no—and why it’s one of the kindest things you can do


🔁 Key Takeaways:

  • Saying yes to everyone else at the expense of yourself is not kindness—it’s self-abandonment
  • People-pleasing is usually rooted in unresolved emotional baggage (like fear of rejection or guilt)
  • Your beliefs (“If I say no, they’ll leave… I must be useful to be loved…”) shape your behaviors
  • Releasing that baggage allows you to create space for aligned choices
  • Visualization and language re-pattern your mind to embrace boundaries with strength and clarity



📝 Reflection Questions:

  1. What am I afraid will happen if I say no?
  2. Where in my life have I been overextending myself to avoid rejection or guilt?
  3. What belief am I reinforcing when I say yes out of fear?
  4. What would be different if I believed my boundaries were a form of love?
  5. What’s one small “no” I can practice this week to honor myself?

💡 Key Takeaways

Hey Best Friend with Dr. Britt
45- It’s Time for a New Story: You Can Re-Author Your Life

Have you ever caught yourself saying, "This is just how I am," or "My life will never get better"? In this powerful episode, Dr. Britt invites you to challenge that narrative and introduces the life-changing concept of Re-Authoring Your Story. Through the lens of positive psychology, NLP, and Hope Theory, you'll learn how to rewrite the scripts that no longer serve you and create a life filled with strength, joy, and purpose. It's not about having a perfect past—it's about choosing to create a hopeful future.


💡 In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why your narrative = your identity—and how that shapes your beliefs, behaviors, and even what your brain looks for
  • How Hope Theory (Snyder, 1994) helps you reframe your life through:
    • 🎯 Goals
    • 💪 Agency
    • 🧭 Pathways
  • How to identify the old script you’re stuck in—and whether it’s even yours
  • What positive psychology has to say about rewriting our stories with strength, growth, and meaning
  • How unprocessed emotions become the fuel for limiting beliefs—and how you can release them
  • The power of language, your inner coach, and simple shifts that lead to major life changes
  • How to write a new story using tools from NLP, MER, and the science of meaning-making


✨ Your New Story Formula:

"I used to believe ____, but now I know ____. So I choose to live as the kind of woman who ____."

Example:

"I used to believe I had to be perfect to be loved. But now I know love isn't earned by performance—it's received in presence. So I choose to live as the kind of woman who brings her full self to the table."



💭 Reflect & Reauthor:

  1. What story have I been living in that no longer fits who I’m becoming?
  2. What belief or emotion is fueling this story—and where did it begin?
  3. What strength did I use to survive that chapter, and what does it say about me?
  4. What would my life look like if I believed something different?
  5. What bold or simple action could I take today that reflects my new story?

40- The Superpower of Gratitude (Re-posted)

Bestie, have you ever noticed that some people radiate positivity no matter what life throws at them? Meanwhile, others seem perpetually unhappy, even when they have everything they need? The difference isn’t just personality—it’s gratitude.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the power of gratitude and how it has the ability to shift your entire life. Gratitude isn’t about ignoring hardships—it’s about orienting your mind toward what is good and meaningful, even in difficult moments. Research shows that gratitude reduces depression, anxiety, and PTSD while improving emotional resilience, relationships, and even sleep. I’ll share personal stories, scientific insights, and practical ways to build gratitude into your daily life.

If you’ve been struggling to see the good or want to cultivate a stronger gratitude practice, this episode is for you.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

✨ Why Gratitude Matters – It’s more than just saying “thank you.” Gratitude is a life orientation toward the positive that can rewire your brain and transform your emotional health.
✨ The Science of Gratitude – Studies show that gratitude lowers depression, anxiety, and even PTSD while improving relationships, trust, and emotional resilience.
✨ How to Practice Gratitude Daily – Simple but powerful techniques like gratitude lists, meditation, reframing challenges, and behavioral expressions of thankfulness.
✨ The Link Between Gratitude & Sleep – Negative thoughts before bed lead to poor sleep, but gratitude rewires your brain for better rest and a happier mindset.

Powerful Reflection Questions:

1️⃣ What are three things I am grateful for today that I usually overlook?
2️⃣ How has my mindset about gratitude been shaped by my past experiences?
3️⃣ What is one difficult situation in my life that I can try reframing with gratitude?
4️⃣ How do I feel when I am around people who express gratitude versus those who don’t?
5️⃣ What is one way I can express gratitude to someone in my life today?

41- Life in Alignment: Get Congruent

Bestie, have you ever felt like your actions don’t fully align with who you truly are? Maybe you value health but struggle with consistency, or you believe in honesty but people-please to avoid conflict. That inner tension? That’s incongruence—and it’s exhausting.

In this episode, we’re diving into why living in alignment with your values and identity is key to peace, confidence, and fulfillment. When you’re congruent, you minimize stress, self-doubt, and frustration, and show up as your most authentic, powerful self.

You’ll learn:
✨ Why congruence matters and how misalignment creates stress and self-doubt.
✨ The role of the unconscious mind in seeking consistency.
✨ How to identify areas of incongruence in your life.
✨ Practical strategies to realign your actions with your core values.
✨ How to use NLP, biblical wisdom, and mindset shifts to create lasting congruence.

Reflection Questions:

1️⃣ In what areas of my life do I feel misaligned or out of integrity?
2️⃣ What are my top three values, and do my daily actions reflect them?
3️⃣ Where am I saying one thing but doing another? What small step can I take to bridge that gap?
4️⃣ How does my unconscious mind react when I’m out of congruence? What patterns do I notice?
5️⃣ What is one identity shift I need to make to fully align with the person I want to become?


JUST DO IT!

39- Mastering Conflict: Handling Tough Conversations with Confidence

Hey Bestie, let’s be real—conflict is a part of life. Whether it’s with a partner, friend, boss, or family member, difficult conversations can feel overwhelming. But here’s the thing: conflict doesn’t have to be scary. In fact, conflict, when handled well, can be the key to deeper trust, better communication, and stronger relationships.

In this episode, we’re diving into:

  • Why avoiding conflict actually makes things worse.
  • The neuroscience behind conflict and why our brains react the way they do.
  • The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (John Gottman’s research on behaviors that destroy relationships).
  • How to reframe conflict as a tool for growth and connection.
  • Strategies to approach difficult conversations with confidence, clarity, and emotional control.


You don’t have to be afraid of conflict—you can master it. Let’s talk about how!


Reflection Questions:

1️⃣ What is one difficult conversation I’ve been avoiding, and why?
2️⃣ How do I typically respond to conflict? (Fight, flight, freeze, fawn?)
3️⃣ What unconscious beliefs about conflict am I carrying from childhood or past experiences?
4️⃣ How can I reframe my next conflict as an opportunity for connection and growth?
5️⃣ What’s one small change I can make in my communication style to reduce unnecessary conflict?

38- The Art of Not Getting Offended

In this episode, Dr. Britt breaks down a topic that affects all of us—offense. Have you ever found yourself instantly irritated, frustrated, or hurt by something someone said or did? Maybe it was a comment, a look, or just being left out of something. Offense can feel automatic, but here’s the truth—offense is optional.

When you stop taking things personally, you step into a level of emotional freedom that most people never experience. In this episode, Dr. Britt explores:
✅ Why offense affects you more than you realize (hint: it’s rewiring your brain!)
✅ What offense actually is—a perceived hurt, not always reality
✅ How to stop taking things personally and handle offense like a pro
✅ How your unconscious mind reinforces offense (and how to stop it)
✅ The power of reframing, asking better questions, and choosing a higher perspective

Because, bestie, life is way too short to collect offenses like they’re trophies.


Reflection Questions:

📝 What types of situations tend to offend me the most? What does that reveal about me?
📝 How do I typically respond to offense? Do I react, hold onto it, or let it go?
📝 Is there a past unresolved hurt making me more sensitive to certain situations?
📝 What belief do I need to adopt to be less offended and more at peace?
📝 How would my life change if I stopped taking things personally?

37- The Secret Sauce: Your Unconscious Mind

Bestie, today we’re diving into one of the most powerful forces in your life—your unconscious mind. It’s like your secret superpower, running 95% of your daily actions, storing every memory and emotion you’ve ever had, and shaping the way you see yourself and the world. The problem? If you don’t learn to work with it, it can work against you, keeping you stuck in old habits, limiting beliefs, and unresolved emotions.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why understanding your unconscious mind is crucial for growth and healing.
  • How it organizes memories, creates habits, and stores emotions.
  • How to rewire your unconscious programming to work for you instead of against you.
  • How Biblical principles align with the unconscious mind and how God designed it to serve you.

Your unconscious mind is waiting for direction—so let’s give it the right one!


Reflection Questions:

  1. What unconscious patterns or beliefs might be running my life without me realizing it?
  2. What habits or thought patterns have I repeated so often that they now feel automatic?
  3. Where might my unconscious mind be holding onto unresolved emotions?
  4. If my unconscious mind takes everything personally, what is one way I can change my self-talk?
  5. How can I start giving my unconscious mind clearer, more empowering instructions?
