  • EP235: How to Stop Self-Doubt and Build Real Confidence | Neil Rubenstein
    Apr 8 2026

    “You could want something a 10 out of 10, but if you only believe you deserve it a 5 out of 10, that’s where you’re going to land.” -- Neil

    In this episode:

    • Understand what self-limiting beliefs actually are—and how they quietly shape your outcomes
    • Learn how negative self-talk impacts your confidence, relationships, and ability to go after what you want
    • Learn how to use the #1 tool to reframe your negative thoughts

    In today’s episode, I sat down with Create Your Fate Coach, Neil, for a real, honest conversation about the internal patterns that hold so many people back—self-limiting beliefs and negative self-talk. We broke down what these thoughts actually sound like in real life, how they show up without you even realizing it, and why they don’t just affect how you feel… they directly impact what you create in your life.

    We also talked about what it actually looks like to shift those thoughts—not in a fluffy, “just think positive” way, but in a practical, grounded way that you can apply immediately. From redefining what you want, to building confidence through small steps, to understanding why vulnerability is the key to deeper connection and alignment—this episode is a powerful reminder that the work starts within. And when you change the way you speak to yourself, you change everything that follows.

  • EP234: Why You Feel Guilty Resting (Even When You’re Exhausted)
    Mar 24 2026

    "Rest is not a reward. It's a requirement." -- Meg

    In this episode:

    1. Understand the subconscious beliefs that make rest feel wrong—even when you need it most
    2. Learn how productivity can become a survival pattern, not just a personality trait
    3. Recognize why your body resists slowing down (and why that doesn’t mean something is wrong)
    4. Reframe rest from something you earn into something you operate from

    In today's episode, I’m breaking down something I see all the time—with my clients and in my own life—the guilt that shows up when we try to rest. I share a recent moment where I slept in and immediately felt like I had done something wrong, even though nothing actually was. From there, we unpack why rest can feel so uncomfortable, especially if you’re someone who is driven, ambitious, or used to always being “on.” This isn’t just about habits—it’s about the subconscious beliefs running underneath them.

    We also get into how productivity can quietly become a survival mode pattern, where being busy isn’t just something you do, it’s something your system relies on to feel safe. I explain what’s happening in your body when you slow down, why it can feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable, and how to start shifting your relationship with rest so it no longer feels like something you have to earn. This episode will help you understand yourself on a deeper level—and start creating a new normal where rest actually feels safe.

  • EP233: The Cost of Carrying Everything: Control, Men & Vulnerability | Jace Williams
    Mar 10 2026

    "If you’re thinking about the next step, you’re ready." -- Life Coach Jace

    In this episode:

    1. Unpack the hidden link between control and vulnerability—and why letting go can feel terrifying (even when it’s healthy)
    2. Reframe “I don’t know” as strength, not failure—and use it to instantly de-pressurize your day
    3. Recognize how perfectionism and hustle culture reinforce the “captain serious” identity (and how to soften it without losing drive)
    4. Understand why coaching works: not because your coach has “the answer,” but because you finally say the truth out loud—and hear yourself

    In today's episode, I sat down with Create Your Fate Coach, Jace, for a real conversation about growth, leadership, and the internal pressure so many men carry. We talked about control, responsibility, and the unspoken expectation to always have it together—at work, in relationships, and in life. This episode explores how those patterns form and what shifts when you start questioning whether carrying everything alone is actually helping. Ladies -- you are going to want to send this episode to any important man in your life!

    We also talk about vulnerability in a practical, grounded way. Not as an emotional performance, but as honesty, self-awareness, and the willingness to pause instead of pushing. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in “doing” mode, wants more clarity, and is ready to approach growth with less pressure and more intention.

  • EP232: PS. You're Allowed to Do Things Just for Fun (The Power of Joy Explained)
    Mar 2 2026

    “If experience is the goal, then everything is considered a win.” -- Meg

    In this episode:

    1. Why joy is a performance advantage (not a weakness)
    2. How elevated emotions shift your energy and attract different results
    3. What gets in the way of joy — and how to practically return to it
    4. Why doing something “just for fun” might be the most powerful move you make

    What if joy isn’t something you earn after you accomplish the thing… what if joy is the thing that unlocks it? In this episode, I’m breaking down the powerful lesson behind Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu’s historic win and why the real secret to her success wasn’t pressure, perfection, or proving — it was joy. After walking away from figure skating due to burnout, she returned with a radically different intention: skate for fun. And that shift changed everything.

    I’m diving into the energetics of joy, the nervous system science behind performance, the Law of Attraction, and what some of my favorite spiritual guides teach about elevated emotions and alignment. We forget that we’re allowed to do things just because they feel good — not because they lead to a goal. This episode is your permission slip to reclaim joy as a strategy, as a frequency, and as a way of life.

  • EP231: Stop Trying to Fix Yourself: The Real Power of Sound Healing | Beto Gonzales
    Feb 19 2026

    "The universe gives you what you are, not what you want.” — Beto Gonzales

    In this episode:

    1. What sound healing really is—and how vibration supports nervous system regulation
    2. Why trying to “fix” yourself can actually block transformation
    3. The power of beginner’s mind and dropping expectations
    4. How trust and surrender allow your life (and healing) to unfold organically

    Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

    In today's episode, I sit down with my friend Beto—sound healer, yoga teacher, and someone who deeply embodies what he teaches—to explore a radically different approach to healing. We talk about what sound healing actually is, how vibration works on the body and nervous system, and why so many of us unknowingly block our own growth by trying so hard to optimize, fix, and perfect ourselves. This conversation moves beyond the surface-level “wellness trends” and into something much deeper: trust, surrender, and allowing life to unfold without gripping so tightly to outcomes.

    If you’ve been doing all the work—therapy, coaching, yoga, breathwork—and still feel like you’re chasing healing instead of receiving it, this episode will land. We dive into the concept of beginner’s mind, how expectations can disconnect you from the experience you came for, and why darkness isn’t something to escape but something that can reveal your own inner light. This isn’t about becoming better. It’s about coming home to who you already are.

  • EP230: Why Your Circle Gets Smaller as You Grow
    Feb 11 2026

    "If you are doing the work that 99% of people spend their life avoiding, why are you surprised when less than 1% of people understand you?" -- Meg

    In this episode:

    1. Why growth can create distance—and how old patterns try to pull you back when you change
    2. Why outgrowing friendships, routines, and hobbies can feel unsettling—even when nothing is “wrong”
    3. The grief and loneliness that often accompany evolution—and why they’re part of the process
    4. How to reframe loneliness as availability, alignment, and a sign you’re moving in the right direction

    Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

    If you’ve been doing the work—changing habits, shifting patterns, releasing old energy—and suddenly notice your circle getting smaller, this episode is for you. Growth has a way of quietly changing the people, routines, and conversations around you, even when nothing is “wrong.” What once felt like home can start to feel limiting, and that shift can be confusing—especially when you expected growth to feel exciting, not lonely.

    In this episode, I unpack why outgrowing friendships, hobbies, and familiar environments is a natural part of personal growth, and why the loneliness that follows doesn’t mean you’ve failed. We’ll talk about the in-between phase where your nervous system is recalibrating, your environment hasn’t caught up yet, and you’re standing with open hands instead of empty ones. If your circle feels smaller right now, this is your reminder that this season is temporary—and often a sign you’re evolving in the right direction.

  • EP229: Overcoming Self-Doubt: How to Trust Yourself and Choose Your Path | Gustavo Handam
    Feb 4 2026

    “Self-doubt comes from a belief about yourself—and a belief is just a pattern of thoughts you repeat until it becomes your reality.” -- Gustavo Handam

    In this episode:

    1. Recognize how repeated thoughts become lived reality
    2. Reframe chaos as part of the becoming process
    3. Explore the difference between ego-driven safety and soul-led growth
    4. See how choosing yourself invites deeper connection and confidence

    What happens when the life you planned falls apart… and the life you’re meant for starts asking you to be honest?

    In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Gustavo Handam—movement coach, wellness leader, and the newest member of the Create Your Fate Retreats team—for a conversation about resilience, self-trust, and what it looks like to keep choosing yourself when the path keeps shifting.

    Gustavo shares his journey from moving to the U.S. from Venezuela in 2017, to navigating rejection and rebuilding his life from scratch, to betting on himself in a new country with a new career. We talk about the “hurricanes” we all face—external chaos and internal self-doubt—and how he learned to stay grounded in the center of it.

    This is a real, heartfelt conversation about starting over, rewriting beliefs, and stepping into authenticity—especially when it costs you comfort.

  • EP228: 2026 Planning for the Lunar New Year: Direction Over Pressure
    Jan 25 2026

    "Direction is more important than speed." -- Meg

    In this episode:

    1. How to plan your 2026 year with soft energy—and stop forcing clarity when your nervous system is asking for space.
    2. The difference between goals vs intentions, and how intentions create alignment without the pressure spiral.
    3. How to identify what drains you vs expands you—and choose what feels ready to shift without overwhelming yourself.
    4. How to turn a big dream into one tiny doable step, a simple non-negotiable, and a word that becomes your North Star.

    Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

    Today is our 2026 planning episode—and I designed it intentionally around the Lunar New Year, because this time of year is actually the perfect window to reset your direction without the pressure spiral. The lunar calendar is about cycles, rhythm, and intention—not rushing. So if January felt weird, slow, scattered, or like “new year, same energy”…you’re not behind. You’re just still in the transition. I’m sharing how my own year started off completely different than I expected, and how I stopped trying to force goals out of sheer pressure. Instead, I used this exact practice to create conditions for clarity—and I want you to do the same before we move into the next lunar cycle.

    This episode is not a vision-and-goals workshop. It’s a soft, interactive planning practice that helps you choose your direction as we approach the Lunar New Year—so you’re not entering the year with hustle energy, unrealistic expectations, or a nervous system that’s already bracing. We’ll focus on how you want to feel as you build your life, because your subconscious responds to emotion—not logic—and that feeling becomes your compass. You will leave this episode with a North Star and a sense of calm direction heading into the Lunar New Year!
