The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days Think back to the person you were five years ago. The routines you swore by, the songs you couldn’t stop playing, the things you thought mattered most. Funny right? That version of you feels familiar, but also like someone you barely recognize. Now rewind twenty years. You’ll probably see a completely different woman—different dreams, different struggles, different victories. And you know what? That’s not a mistake. That’s growth. That’s grace in motion. We don’t just wake up one day and arrive at who we’re meant to be. Most of us drift, wondering how we got here. But what if you didn’t drift? What if you chose? Partner with the Lord, bring intention to your days, and design the next version of you with purpose.    Listen in to learn more:  (00:36) - The Illusion of Permanence: Why We Think Today’s Version of Us Is the Final Draft (03:09) -Present Self vs. Future Self (05:40) - Legacy, Not Hustle: How to Build a Life That Outlasts the To-Do List (06:50) - One-Year Vision Exercise (08:57) - Practical Steps Your Future Self Will Thank You For Links to great things we discussed:  Catalyst Mastermind Alli’s Sunscreen Recommendation - Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Alli’s Makeup Recommendation - IT Cosmetics CC+ Nude Glow Protecting yourself from skin cancer as a truck driver   I hope you loved this episode! 🎉 Don't forget to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so you’re always in the loop.

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days What if I told you that overthinking isn’t proof of brilliance—it’s fear in a fancy outfit? It looks productive. It feels responsible. But let’s be honest—it’s just mental busywork dressed up like wisdom. Overthinking is like binge-watching the same three episodes of worry on repeat, hoping the plot twist will finally reveal itself. Here’s the truth, friend: you don’t need more time to think. You need a fresh approach to move forward. Because after a couple of hours, your brain turns into a GPS stuck in “recalculating”—lots of noise, zero progress. But today? We’re done with that. No more spiraling. No more second-guessing. No more talking yourself out of the very thing God keeps nudging you toward. This is your permission slip to stop overanalyzing and start obeying. This episode is your exit ramp from analysis paralysis—and a bold eviction notice to those rent-free thoughts that have overstayed their welcome.   Timestamps: (03:15) - Why Smart Women Fall Into the Trap of Overthinking (04:19) - How Overthinking Pretends to Be Wisdom (But Isn’t) (04:38) - Why Certainty Is a Myth and Clarity Is What You Really Need (07:32) - God Doesn’t Need Your Perfection to Use You Powerfully (09:18) - Simple, Practical Steps to Finally Get Unstuck WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Catalyst Mastermind Alli’s Makeup Recommendation - IT Cosmetics CC+ Nude Glow I hope you loved this episode! 🎉Don’t forget to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so you never miss a thing.

Pelvic Floor Secrets No One Told You with Dr. Sara Reardon The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days   Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s quietly affecting so many women—and yet, almost no one’s talking about it: pelvic health. If you’ve ever wondered whether leaking when you laugh, painful intimacy, or pelvic floor issues are “part of being a woman,” I want you to know: they’re not. And you’re not alone.   The amazing Dr. Sara Reardon joins me—also known as The Vagina Whisperer (don’t worry, we’ll explain that one!). She’s a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist who’s made it her mission to help women stop suffering in silence and start getting real answers.   This conversation is honest, practical, and eye-opening. We talk about why Kegels aren’t always the answer, how the medical system often dismisses women’s pain, and what every woman over 40 needs to know about her pelvic floor. You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and answers to questions you didn’t even know you needed to ask.   Listen in to learn more: (03:06) - The Biggest Lie Women Still Believe About Their Pelvic Floor (03:37) - The Surprising Truth About Kegels (and Why They May Not Work) (07:32) - Why Bladder Leakage is Not Normal and Ways to Stop It (24:57) - Smart Pelvic Health Tips Every Woman Needs While Traveling (28:41) - How Childbirth Changes Your Body: The Short-Term and Long-Term Effects   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Sara’s Book: Floored Sara’s Song Recommendation: Mystical Magical Sara’s TV Recommendation: Amy Bradley is Missing Sara’s Skincare Recommendation: Lion Pose Sara’s Book Recommendation: The Nightingale Join the Catalyst Mastermind!  I hope you loved this episode! 🎉Don’t forget to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so you never miss a thing.

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days You know those women who walk into a room and own it? The ones who walk in grace and boldness, not because they have it all figured out—but because they’ve learned the secret. They don’t hustle harder. They don’t bury themselves in books or podcasts. They refuse to do life alone.   Let me flip the script for you—because everything you’ve been taught about growth? It’s backwards. You don’t need more noise, more content, more overwhelm. You need clarity. You need connection. You need the right people in your corner.   Here’s the truth no one’s saying out loud: the women who rise fast aren’t buried in a sea of self-help. They’re in rooms that challenge them, conversations that stretch them, communities that see them.   So today, I’m pulling back the curtain. The real difference between spinning your wheels and breaking through? It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about choosing to be surrounded by people who remind you of who you are—especially on the days you forget.   Confidence isn’t a solo sport. Real confidence is built when you surround yourself with the right people, who uplift and empower you.   Listen in to learn more:  (04:14) - The Secret Every Confident Woman Knows (05:25) - Why the Right Inner Circle Accelerates Your Growth (06:05) - Community vs. Inner Circle: The Crucial Difference (07:05) - What Happens When You Finally Step Into the Right Room (10:32) - How Catalyst Mastermind Sparks the Transformation You’ve Been Waiting For WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE     Links to great things we discussed:    Join the Catalyst Mastermind!

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days   I need to tell you something, and it may sting a little. You know that woman who’s always the helper? She’s the first to say yes, the one solving everyone’s drama, answering texts like it’s her full-time job. She’s incredible—but here’s the hard truth: she’s vanishing. Slowly, yes, by yes, she’s losing herself. She’s so busy showing up for everyone else that she’s forgotten how to show up for herself. And if you’re thinking, “Oh goodness… that’s me,” then we need to talk. Because what you’ve been calling kindness might actually be quiet self-betrayal. What appears to be selflessness is often just dysfunction in disguise. And today, I’m handing you the roadmap to stop people-pleasing, reclaim your voice, and start honoring your own God-given needs—without guilt, without apology. You were never meant to be everyone’s fixer. You were meant to live free, bold, and beautifully aligned with who God created you to be. Let’s get you back to that.

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days.   We're in our health and wellness series. And today we're talking about our emotional health or emotional wellness, especially emotional wellness for Christians. Why pushing through will backfire and what to do instead.    I’m re-airing one of your all-time favorite episodes with a pastor and psychologist, Dr. Jonathan Hoover. He’s pulling back the curtain on stress and burnout, plus he’s showing us the surprising difference between self-awareness and self-absorption and why knowing that line changes everything.   Because here’s the truth: functioning isn’t thriving. If you’ve ever felt numb, snappy, or just plain stuck, this conversation will give you the tools to move from survival mode back into a grounded, God-led life.   Listen in to learn more:  (02:15:) - Breaking the Myth That All Burnout is Work-Related (13:20) - The Different Phases of Burnout (17:03) - How to Manage Our Stress to Recover From Burnout (19:45) - Signs We May Be Susceptible to Burnout That We Should Keep an Eye Out For WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Jonathan’s Book: Stress Fracture Jonathan’s Song Recommendation: My Life Is in Your Hands Jonathan’s Book Recommendation: The Power of Habit Jonathan’s TV Show Recommendation: Frasier Jonathan’s Product Recommendation: AirTag   I hope you loved this episode! 🎉 Don't forget to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so you’re always in the loop.

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days Picture this: you finally land the promotion, your launch hits six figures, your relationship feels like a rom-com—and then boom. Out of nowhere, you start unraveling. You forget the meeting, pick a fight over the dishes, or come down with a mystery illness right before the big presentation.   Sound familiar? You're not alone in this. You're not broken. You're not failing. You're just bumping up against something called the Upper Limit Problem—a sneaky little mindset trap that psychologist Gay Hendricks describes as your brain's way of keeping you "safe" in your comfort zone.   Here's the truth: your mind isn't trying to sabotage you—it's just scared of expansion. It thinks success is risky. But we're not here to play small anymore. It takes courage to step into the unknown, and we have that courage within us.   Today, we're breaking through that invisible ceiling. We're talking about how to stop self-sabotage, stretch your capacity for joy, and step boldly into the life God's calling you to—without shrinking back.   Because the answer isn't hustling harder, it's healing deeper. It's growing bigger from the inside out.   Listen in to learn more:  (01:16) - The Real Reason Smart, Successful Women Self-Destruct (02:44) - The Upper Limit Problem: Why Your Brain Sabotages Your Success (05:18) -Identity vs. Willpower: The Key Shift That Changes Everything (07:36) - The Upper Limit Breakthrough System to Stop Self-Sabotage (13:56) - The 20-Second Courage Rule That Rewires Fear Into Momentum WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE     Links to great things we discussed:    Alli’s Fun Recommendation - Discovery Cove Join The Coach School - https://www.thecoachschool.com/    I hope you loved this episode! 🎉Don’t forget to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so you never miss a thing.

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days!    Today we’re diving into part two of my conversation with the brilliant Anne-Laure Le Cunff—and trust me, you’re going to want to lean in for this one. Anne-Laure is a neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and one of the most refreshingly original voices I’ve come across when it comes to learning, growth, and creativity.   Her story is wild in the best way. She walked away from a high-powered career at Google (yes, that Google) to study neuroscience. Now she’s researching the science of curiosity and learning at King’s College London and running Nest Labs, where she helps people think better and live with more intention.   What I love most is how she blends deep research with practical tools that actually work—and she’s not afraid to bust the big myths, like the idea that success is some perfect, linear path. Spoiler alert: it’s not.   Her book Tiny Experiments absolutely blew me away. It’s packed with wisdom that’ll help you rethink your goals, your mindset, and the way you show up in the world. And today’s episode? It’s going to spark something new in you—I just know it.   Timestamps: (01:03) - Why Linear Goals Keep You Stuck (and What to Do Instead) (04:09) - How to Start Breaking Free from Linear Thinking (11:22) - The Crucial Difference Between Real Rest and Mindless Zoning Out (18:15) - How to Make the Second Half of Life Even More Exciting Than the First (23:01) - Why Anyone Can Experiment (and Why You Should)   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE Links to great things we discussed:    Anne-Laure’s Book: Tiny Experiments Join The Coach School!
