Dealing with trauma and shame from our past can be tremendously heavy burdens to carry—but they don’t have to define us.

These horrible experiences often shape our identity, our relationships, and even how we view the world. But one of the most important conversations we can have is how to heal from those experiences.

It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Daniela Tilbrook. Daniela is a trauma survivor, coach, and the author of the powerful new book, Not My Shame: Healing Childhood Trauma. She shares her deeply personal journey of surviving a decade of childhood sexual abuse, the years of silence that followed, and the transformative steps she’s taken to heal, reclaim her voice, and now helps others do the same.

You’ll hear how meditation and The Miracle Morning were game-changers for Daniela in rebuilding a sense of faith and purpose and helped her shift from surviving to enjoying a purposeful life again. Whether you’ve experienced trauma yourself or want to support someone who has, this episode offers a message of hope, practical tools for healing, and a reminder that no matter your past, you have the power to choose your future.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why shame is never yours to carry—and how to give it back

We spend our lives balancing two forces: the actions we take (what we do) and the emotions that shape our inner world (how we feel).

Last week, I addressed the first with a podcast episode titled The Shortcut to Self-Discipline (click here if you missed it), which teaches how we can get ourselves to do what we need to do, when we need to do it—whether we feel like it or not.

This week, I’m giving you The Blueprint for Inner Bliss.

What is inner bliss?

It’s that state of genuine and sustained contentment, gratitude, and joy that doesn’t depend on external events and enables you to maintain optimal mental and emotional states, even when life feels chaotic, uncertain, or out of control.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why fulfillment comes down to two things: what you do and how you feel
• The 3 pillars of inner bliss and how to practice each one daily
• How comparison keeps you from happiness—and how to break free from it
• Why defining your purpose doesn’t need to be perfect
• A simple, powerful morning practice to cultivate peace and fulfillment

Have you ever struggled to follow through with your goals? Maybe you’ve labeled yourself as lazy, inconsistent, or just not disciplined enough. I get it—because that used to be me. In this episode, I’m diving into what I believe is the ultimate superpower for achieving anything you want in life: self-discipline.

I’m sharing my journey from being an utterly undisciplined teenager to becoming one of the top performers at Cutco. Whether you’ve never considered yourself a disciplined person or you’re already a high achiever looking to maximize your full potential, this episode will give you a step-by-step approach to developing the discipline you need to achieve your biggest goals.

You’ll learn the four key components of self-discipline, the difference between being motivated and truly committed, and why your identity plays a critical role in your consistency.

P.S. I’m sharing My Daily Self-Discipline Affirmations to help you build this superpower and make it a part of who you are, starting today.
