Ep. #268: The 50/50 of Life - Why Happiness Isn’t the Goal

We all have dreams—those big, exciting, deep-in-your-soul desires. But if that’s true, why do so many of us stay stuck, watching from the sidelines instead of going after what we really want? In this episode, we’re getting real about what’s actually holding you back (hint: it’s probably not what you think). Joining us this episode is BFLY Coach Kelly, who’s here to help you uncover the fears, doubts, and sneaky self-sabotage keeping you from taking action. It’s time to stop waiting for the “right time” and start believing in your time. Ready to finally go after your dreams but not sure where to start? Private 1:1 coaching at BFLYCoaching gives you the support, and strategies to move forward with confidence. Whether you’re navigating a big life change or just need a reset, this is your time to refocus, realign, and step into the life you actually want.

Ever feel like you’re living on autopilot, checking all the right boxes, keeping everyone else happy—but somehow, you’re the one running on empty? You’re not alone. So many of us get stuck in the cycle of people-pleasing, saying yes when we mean no, and shaping our lives around what others expect instead of what actually makes us happy. But here’s the truth: you can’t pour from an empty cup. In this episode, part of my special series with the Coaches of BFLYCoaching, Coach Sharon Spohn joins us for an honest conversation about breaking the pattern, tuning into what you really want, and finally giving yourself permission to take up space in your own life—without guilt, without shame, and without apology.

Ever feel like you're just going through the motions—wake up, get things done, repeat—without really feeling present in your own life? That’s what I call Robot Mode, and trust me, you’re not alone.

We’ll break down the fight, flight, or freeze response and explore simple, doable ways to regulate your nervous system so you can feel more in control and alive in your daily life. And if you’re ready for a deeper dive, join me for April’s Year of You workshop at bflycoaching.com, where we’ll unpack even more powerful tools to help you reconnect with yourself.

Emotions aren’t just random waves of chaos trying to ruin your day—they’re messengers, trying to tell you something important. But are you actually listening? In this episode, we’re diving into the truth about emotions, why we feel them so intensely, and how to stop drowning in what I call "puddle emotions." These are the feelings that keep us stuck, spiraling, or overwhelmed—like guilt, fear, or self-doubt—when we don’t know how to process them. I’ll walk you through how to recognize these emotional messengers, decode what they’re trying to tell you, and most importantly, take your power back. Because you are not your emotions—you are the one experiencing them. And when you learn how to work with them instead of against them, that’s where true emotional freedom begins. Tune in for a real, relatable conversation on how to stop letting emotions control you and start using them as the powerful guides they’re meant to be.

Life coaching isn’t about someone telling you what to do—it’s about having a trusted guide who helps you uncover your own answers, break through mental roadblocks, and step into the life you truly want. Think of it like having a personal strategist for your growth, someone who sees your potential even when you don’t, and gives you the tools to tap into your own power. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need clarity on your next steps, a coach helps you navigate life’s challenges with confidence, purpose, and direction. It’s about shifting from merely surviving to truly thriving—living intentionally instead of just going through the motions. And the best part? You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Free consultations are available with any of our BFLY Coaches at bflycoaching.com/coaching. Because the life you want isn’t as far away as it seems—you just need the right support to get there.

Your brain is wired to seek out evidence that confirms what you already believe, whether it’s “I’m not good enough,” “Success isn’t for me,” or “Mondays are the worst.” And guess what? It’ll find proof everywhere. But here’s the kicker—just because you believe it doesn’t mean it’s true. This week on Creating Her Best Life Now, we’re diving deep into how this sneaky mental habit could be holding you back—and, more importantly, how to break free from it. If you’re ready to challenge those old, limiting beliefs and start creating a reality that actually serves you, tune in! Your best life is waiting… once you stop letting your brain sabotage it.

Ever feel like you're living the same day over and over again? Like you're stuck in some weird, soul-sucking loop of “meh” and “whatever”? Yeah, we’ve all been there. Indifference and complacency sneak in like uninvited houseguests, making themselves comfortable while you’re too exhausted to kick them out. In this episode, we’re getting real about that numbing autopilot mode—why we fall into it, how it tricks us into thinking we’re “fine,” and, most importantly, how to break the cycle. Because let’s be honest, “fine” is just a polite way of saying “I’ve settled.” If you’ve been waiting for a sign to shake things up, this is it. It’s time to stop pressing repeat on a life you don’t love and start making moves toward something better. Let’s get into it! Make 2025 your year with the Year of You program!
