You've done the therapy. You've done the courses. You've done the inner work.And something still hasn't clicked.This episode is about what that something actually is — and why it has nothing to do with how hard you're trying or how much healing you've done.Janelle Moore is a Conscious Leadership Coach and founder of An Awakening of Women. She guides women to remember their inherent power and step fully into their brilliance by dismantling the invisible illusions that keep them small. And this conversation is one of the most genuinely disruptive ones I've had on this show.Because she's not talking about working harder or healing more. She's talking about the containers you're in, the frequency you're broadcasting, and why the thing you're calling fear might actually be proof that you've stepped back into your life force.IN THIS EPISODE— Why your problem is your container not your potential — and how to stop designing your life for survival instead of expansion— Why fear is not danger — it's unfamiliarity — and how to stop retreating from the exact place where your energy and possibility live— Why healing alone doesn't change your life — and what actually does: the tiny repeated moment-to-moment choice— How your attention is either feeding your past, your future, or your power — and what to do to get it back— Why self judgment is not insight — it's self abuse in a smarter outfit — and the difference between real accountability and internal violence— Why staying attached to your wound can be a way to avoid action, vulnerability, and growth— Why love is not a sentiment — it's the highest operating frequency — and what that means practically for moms building a life and a businessYour ceiling moves with your environment. Change the container. Change the life. 🖤CONNECT WITH JANELLE MOORE— Instagram: @an_awakening_of_women— Website: anawakeningofwomen.com⭐ LEAVE A REVIEW & WINLeave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it, and DM it to me @itslaurapatriciamartin — and I'll send you something customized just for you.FREE RESOURCE:AI Tool to Make 7 Days of Content — your hot mom content plan, done for youSHOP + SUPPORT— My exact Amazon storefront (supplements, skincare, and home luxuries)SUBSCRIBE + SHARELove the episode?

JOI N THE NAP TIME CONTENT WAITLISTSomeone told a woman I know that wanting to work 12 hours a week while scaling to six figures was soft girl energy.She used to work 60-hour weeks. She burned herself out. She suffered for it. And after years of that — she figured out how to compress her output into 12 highly dialed-in hours.And someone called that entitled.That's not soft girl energy. That's mastery. And this episode is about why.IN THIS EPISODE— Why the number of hours you work is not proof of how serious you are — and the Stanford research that backs it up— The difference between soft girl energy and earned efficiency — and why most people can't tell them apart— What working 12 hours a week actually requires: dialed-in messaging, ruthless prioritization, systems that handle everything else— Why hustle culture rewards input while real business rewards output — and the massive difference between being busy and being productive— The real question to ask yourself: are the hours you're working actually moving anything?Stop measuring your seriousness in hours. Start measuring it in results. 🖤⭐ LEAVE A REVIEW & WINLeave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it, and DM it to me @itslaurapatriciamartin — and I'll send you something customized just for you.FREE RESOURCE:AI Tool to Make 7 Days of Content — your hot mom content plan, done for youSHOP + SUPPORT— My exact Amazon storefront (supplements, skincare, and home luxuries)SUBSCRIBE + SHARELove the episode?

PRESENT AND PAID IS OPENWhere would you be right now if you had made the decision a year ago that you keep putting off?Not hypothetically. Actually think about it. The room you didn't get into. The investment you talked yourself out of. The standard you didn't hold yourself to because the comfort of staying known felt safer than the discomfort of being new.The rooms you stay in reflect what you believe you deserve. And most women are staying in rooms that are way beneath what they're actually capable of.The comfort of being known is one of the most expensive things you can buy. Because what it costs you is who you could have become.IN THIS EPISODE— Why we stay in rooms where we are known — and why that comfort is actually a ceiling with really good lighting— What happens when you get in a room with women who are light years ahead of you and why proximity changes your standard without effort— The year you wait is not neutral — what staying exactly where you are is actually costing you— The three objections keeping you out of the room: lack of clarity, financial scarcity, and disqualifying yourself before you even apply— Why clarity doesn't come before the room — it comes from inside it— The identity of the woman who stops waiting and gets inYou already know which room you need to be in. The question is whether you're going to make yourself wait another year to get there. 🖤⭐ LEAVE A REVIEW & WINLeave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it, and DM it to me @itslaurapatriciamartin — and I'll send you something customized just for you.FREE RESOURCE:AI Tool to Make 7 Days of Content — your hot mom content plan, done for youSHOP + SUPPORT— My exact Amazon storefront (supplements, skincare, and home luxuries)SUBSCRIBE + SHARELove the episode?Subscribe, leave a review, and tag @itslaurapatriciamartin + @softxsavagepodcast on IG for a chance to win our weekly giveaway.

I need to talk about something that has been sitting on my chest all week.The Lindsay Clancy trial.This episode is not a verdict. It's not judgment. The trial is still ongoing and I am not a lawyer or a doctor.What this is — is the conversation every single mom has been having in private. The one we're too scared to have in public.Lindsay Clancy did exactly what society tells struggling moms to do. She asked for help. She saw psychiatrists. She extended her maternity leave. She connected with specialists. And the system still failed her.Moms are in an uproar about this case. And it's not because it's shocking. It's because it's familiar. Not the outcome. The feeling. The dark place the mind goes. The intrusive thoughts that every postpartum mom has had and never said out loud because she's terrified of what people will think.Nobody has to explain what the intrusive thought is. Moms know. And that's exactly why this case is hitting so hard.IN THIS EPISODE— What the Lindsay Clancy trial is actually revealing about postpartum psychosis and the system that failed her— Why moms are in an uproar — and why it has nothing to do with the verdict and everything to do with recognition— The intrusive thought conversation nobody will say out loud and why moms stay silent— Why the system keeps failing postpartum women: missed diagnoses, inadequate monitoring, a culture that pathologizes the breakdown and celebrates the bounce back— What moms actually need — real screening, real follow-up, real permission to tell the truth without fear of losing everything— A message for any mom who is in a dark place right nowLindsay Clancy asked for help. The system failed her. How many women are asking for help right now and being failed in quieter, less visible ways? 🖤If you are struggling with postpartum mental health, please reach out to a doctor, a trusted person in your life, or call the Postpartum Support International helpline: 1-800-944-4773.⭐ LEAVE A REVIEW & WINLeave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it, and DM it to me @itslaurapatriciamartin — and I'll send you something customized just for you.FREE RESOURCE:AI Tool to Make 7 Days of Content — your hot mom content plan, done for youSHOP + SUPPORT— My exact Amazon storefront (supplements, skincare, and home luxuries)SUBSCRIBE + SHARELove the episode?Subscribe, leave a review, and tag @itslaurapatriciamartin + @softxsavagepodcast on IG for a chance to win our weekly giveaway.

🎙️ PRESENT AND PAID is OPENWhat I've learned from watching the women who actually change their lives is that they don't have better information than you.They don't have a better strategy. They don't have a better coach. They don't have more time or more money or more support.They have different inputs.Same amount of hours. Different people in the room. Different clothes on their body. Different standard for what they're willing to tolerate.And somehow — different life.This episode is about why you keep getting the same results. And it has nothing to do with what you know. It has everything to do with what you're willing to change.IN THIS EPISODE— Why the mentor you outgrew but stayed with anyway isn't loyalty — it's fear of the unfamiliar dressed up as loyalty— The relationships you stayed in too long: wanting to be loved vs stepping into who you're actually capable of being— Why your wardrobe is a visual representation of who you decided you were years ago — and how dressing the same keeps you stuck in the past— Same inputs = same outputs: the audit most women never do and why nothing changes until they do— Why character change has to come before strategy change — and what that actually requiresRoutine is safe until it becomes your cage.The life you want doesn't come from time. It comes from character change. From getting in the rooms before you're ready. From changing the inputs. 🖤⭐ LEAVE A REVIEW & WINLeave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it, and DM it to me @itslaurapatriciamartin — and I'll send you something customized just for you.FREE RESOURCE:AI Tool to Make 7 Days of Content — your hot mom content plan, done for youSHOP + SUPPORT— My exact Amazon storefront (supplements, skincare, and home luxuries)SUBSCRIBE + SHARELove the episode?Subscribe, leave a review, and tag @itslaurapatriciamartin + @softxsavagepodcast on IG for a chance to win our weekly giveaway.

There's a word for what happened when you became a mother.It's called matrescence. And it's the neurological, hormonal and identity transformation that happens when you have a baby — as significant as adolescence. And almost nobody teaches it.Which means most moms are walking around thinking something is wrong with them. That they're lazy. That they lost their edge. That the woman they were before is gone.She's not gone. Your brain was rewired. And there's a difference.This episode is the science behind what actually happened — and how to build a business that works with your biology instead of against it.IN THIS EPISODE— Matrescence: the word you needed and why understanding it changes everything about how you see yourself as a mother and a builder— Dr. Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory and neuroception — why your nervous system is running a vigilance program 24 hours a day and why it never fully switches off after you have a baby— Why creative thought, complex decisions and ambition feel harder after having a baby — and why that's not weakness, it's neuroscience— The difference between burnout and safety — and why most high achieving moms mistake arrival for laziness— Why you cannot think your way out of a biological response — and how systems, simplicity and AI change everything— What building around your biology actually looks like — and why the most present version of you is also the most powerfulYou haven't lost your ambition. Your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do. The women who understand that — and build around it — are the ones who make it look easy. 🖤🎙️ PRESENT AND PAIDBuild a business that works with how you actually operate as a mother.

🎙️ THE NAP TIME CHALLENGE STARTS JULY 27Get paid before your kid wakes up. Three live sessionsThis one's for the woman who's in it right now.Not the polished version of in it. The real version. Where something in your life is heavy, your creativity feels blocked, and you still have a business to run and a kid to raise and somehow you're supposed to show up online like everything is fine.This episode is not about pushing through. It's not about toxic positivity. It's about the actual bare minimum routine that keeps you functional, magnetic, and still building when life is restructuring behind the scenes.Because crashing out doesn't mean stopping. It means you're human. And there's a way to do it without losing yourself or your momentum.IN THIS EPISODE— Why doing one thing for yourself before you do anything for anyone else is the most important business decision you'll make in a hard season— The getting dressed rule: why showing up in an outfit you could record in changes everything about how you feel and how you create— Why moving your body when you don't want to isn't about aesthetics right now — it's about keeping the one hour that's still yours— How simplifying to one offer, one topic, one person gives you focus and steadiness when everything else feels chaotic— Why rest is not quitting — and how giving yourself permission to do less right now is what keeps you in the game long enough to win itYou don't have to have it together to stay hot. You just have to stay in motion. 🖤⭐ LEAVE A REVIEW & WINLeave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it, and DM it to me @itslaurapatriciamartin — and I'll send you something customized just for you.FREE RESOURCE:AI Tool to Make 7 Days of Content — your hot mom content plan, done for youSHOP + SUPPORT— My exact Amazon storefront (supplements, skincare, and home luxuries)SUBSCRIBE + SHARELove the episode?Subscribe, leave a review, and tag @itslaurapatriciamartin + @softxsavagepodcast on IG for a chance to win our weekly giveaway.

After I gave birth, something shifted.Not just in my life. In the way I saw everything I had been doing online.It was like a veil lifted. And suddenly I could see it so clearly — the performing, the posturing, the constant output, the launches, the polished version of myself I had been putting out into the world. And underneath all of it was this quiet, uncomfortable truth: I wasn't building from who I actually was. I was building from who I thought I was supposed to be.This episode is that conversation. The one I've been sitting with. The one I think a lot of moms in business need to hear — especially the ones who feel like the internet is a lie after they give birth, like everything they were doing before suddenly feels hollow.Because that feeling isn't a sign that you're broken. It's a sign that you've finally woken up.IN THIS EPISODE— Why so many moms feel like the internet is a lie after giving birth — and what that veil-lifting moment is actually telling you— How I realized I was putting on a show in my business and what I was really trying to avoid by staying busy— The difference between performing your life online and actually expressing it — and why one converts and one exhausts you— Why slowing down felt terrifying and what happened to my connection with my audience and my work when I did— What surrender, self-trust, and alignment actually look like in a real business — not the spiritual bypassing version— The question worth asking if your life doesn't feel right: what if the next step isn't doing more, but becoming more honest about who you are now?My views went down. My connection went up. And that trade was worth everything. 🖤JOIN THE MOVEMENT:Ready to go deeper?

I don't want you to just be visible. I want you to be visible AND paid.Because a woman who shows up every day, creates content, builds an audience — and makes no money from it — is just invested in a very time consuming hobby.I'm not doing this to be popular. I'm doing this to make money. And I'm going to assume you're here for the same reason — whether you're trying to make money right now or you're figuring out how you're going to make money in the future.Most women who are posting will never make the money they're capable of making. Not because they're not talented. Not because they don't work hard. Because there's a gap between visibility and income that nobody ever shows you how to bridge.This episode is about that gap. The visibility trap. And the 3 bridges that actually get you out of it.IN THIS EPISODE— Why visibility and income are not the same thing — and the data that proves it (over 200 million creators, more than half earning under $15,000 a year)— The Thailand story: sold out events, posting three times a day, opportunities everywhere — and making absolutely no money— The relatability trap: why poetic, emotional, relatable content builds connection but doesn't build income— "Access creates participation. Structure creates income." — the Forbes line that explains everything— The 3 bridges between visibility and income: conversion content, a clear offer, and trust scaled from 1:1 to 1:many— Why the gap between the $15,000 creator and the $133,000 creator isn't talent — it's operating like a business— The model: personal brand → conversion content → one digital product. In that order. That's it.Visibility is not the goal. Income is the goal. Visibility is just the door — make sure you have something on the other side of it. 🖤⭐ LEAVE A REVIEW & WINIf this episode gave you something real — go leave a review on Apple Podcasts right now.

I get asked this all the time. How do you actually make it to the second shift? How do you work at night and not just collapse?And honestly? It's not that hard for me. Not because I have more energy than you. Because I stopped bleeding mine out all day.Here's what's actually happening when night hits and you're done. You've spent the whole day trying to be mom, business owner, wife, housekeeper, and gym-goer all at the same time. Nothing got your full attention. Not the business. Not your kid. Not yourself. And that's not a time problem. That's a nervous system problem.Every time you switch tasks, your nervous system takes a hit. You've been doing that on repeat since 6am. By the time the second shift comes, you're not tired from doing too much. You're tired from switching too much.This episode is about what actually regulates that — and why making it to the second shift isn't about pushing through exhaustion. It's about arriving with something left.IN THIS EPISODE— Why you're exhausted by the time the second shift starts and it has nothing to do with how much you did— The difference between physical exhaustion and nervous system depletion — and why most moms are experiencing the second one and calling it laziness— What overstimulation actually is and why it's not just noise, it's too many open loops— Why I took a nap with Luka today and what that has to do with making it through my own second shift tonight— The real structure that makes the second shift possible: containing each part of your day instead of splitting yourself across all of them— How AI protects the container so nothing bleeds into mom time — and why that's the actual reason I have something left at nightYou can do all of it. But not all at once. Stop splitting. Start containing. 🖤JOIN THE MOVEMENT:Ready to go deeper?
