You know the cycle. Things start working in your business. You feel momentum building. And then you pull back. You start tweaking things instead of getting your work out into the world.

It’s confusing because you want to move forward but instead if feels like you are circling.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what’s really happening underneath that cycle, and why more strategy or mindset work isn’t the solution.

We’ll talk about:

• The fine line between helpful research and hiding behind your laptop
• How nervous system safety impacts your ability to keep growing
• Why more strategy, discipline, or mindset work isn’t the real solution
• How embodiment work helps you create the safety you need to move forward

Ever read a post and just know it was written by AI?

In this episode, I share a moment on Threads that sparked a big reflection on AI and authenticity in business. I dive into what it really means to use AI in your business without disconnecting from your energy, your voice, and the people you're actually here to serve.

Whether you're using AI to save time (or you want to but don’t like what it spits out), this episode will help you rethink your approach, and show you how to stay rooted in your presence while using tools that actually support your voice. If you’ve been conflicted or quietly cringing at some of what you’re seeing online, this one’s for you.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why using AI isn’t cheating (but hiding behind it might be)
• How generic, polished content affects your connection with your audience
• A practical look at how to work with AI without losing your voice

🔑 Key Takeaways

• You can save time and still stay true to yourself
• Real > perfect. Always
• Your content won't land if you are not in it

If you’ve ever felt like you’re being bullied by your own thoughts while trying to run your business you want to listen to this episode.

In this episode, I’m talking about the inner critic. That mean, relentless voice that tells you you’re not doing enough, not good enough, or that everyone else has it figured out but you.

And if you're a sensitive, driven woman running a business online, this inner critic isn't just making you feel bad. It might be shaping your entire business - how you price, how you show up, and what you avoid doing.

📋 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your inner critic isn’t actually you, but something you learned
• Why common advice like “just make friends with it” might backfire
• What makes it louder during slow seasons in business (and why it spirals)
• Why highly sensitive women can often struggle with a vicious inner critic

✅ Key Takeaways:

• Giving your body space to feel safe works against a harsh inner critic.
• A harsh internal critic is internalised conditioning that can be changed
• The louder it gets, the more your nervous system is likely dysregulated (plus what can change that)

📍If your inner critic is holding you back in your business (whether it's stopping you from posting, pricing, launching, or simply enjoying the work you love) book a free Embodied Exploration Call with Tertia .

If your business looks great on paper but you’re secretly fantasising about quitting it all and running away to sit under a tree, that’s one big way your body is calling for your attention. Too many women are running businesses that look good on the outside but leave them feeling hollow and numb on the inside.

In this episode, I make the case for why your business needs to feel good in your body, and how that is different from only doing things when it feels good. If you’ve been burning out in your business, or if you've feeling disconnected or flat, like you’re ticking boxes in a business that technically works but doesn’t feel (or even sound or look) like you anymore, this one’s for you.

🎧 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why doing only what “feels good” can keep you stuck in sabotage
• How nervous system constriction quietly shapes your choices (and your burnout cycles)
• What it really takes to reconnect to your body’s truth so that you business habits don't burn you out.
• The two key foundations every sustainable, soul-fed business needs

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Your sabotage patterns are smart (and could even mask as intuition)
• You can’t mindset your way out of a nervous system that brakes.
• When your inner world matches how you show up in your business, that congruence becomes a superpower.

📌 Take Action:
➡️ Do the embodiment practice I share towards the end, to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and let me know your experience!

We’ve been told that being calm, cool, and collected is the goal. That if we want to be successful, magnetic, abundant we better get our emotions in check. But what if that’s the very thing keeping you stuck? What if the self-management you’ve been praised for… is actually self-abandonment?

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the emotional control myth that so many driven women are living inside without even realizing it. I talk about the sneaky ways we micromanage ourselves in the name of “growth,” how that internal tension shows up in real life (like second-guessing every idea or hanging in the back of the room), and why your nervous system (and not your mindset) holds the key to an abundant life.

🧭 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why emotional suppression isn’t emotional mastery (and why it’s doing more harm than good)
• The subtle ways “self-control” becomes self-abandonment
• How micromanaging your inner world leads to disconnection, numbness, and eventually emotional burnout
• What embodiment actually means (hint: it’s not just “feeling your feelings”)
• The link between nervous system safety and your ability to receive (abundance, love, ease, all of it)

💥 Key Takeaways:

• Managing yourself isn’t the goal. Being yourself is.
• You can’t mindset your way into safety. Your nervous system will always win.
• Emotional suppression isn’t mature, it’s exhausting.
• Feeling safe to be who you are = the foundation for sustainable abundance.
• Wholeness is about bringing all of you home.

🌀 Take Action:
➡️ Stop trying to be "in control" of your emotions. Instead, notice where you're micromanaging yourself in real-time.

Have you ever asked yourself if it's actually possible to create a better, more abundant life on the other side of burnout? If you're feeling stuck, numb, or directionless after burning out, even after ticking all the "recovery" boxes this episode is for you.

In this episode I share some of my own journey plus what I wish I knew. If you’re ready to finally drop the masks, tap into your true self, and manifest a better life, this episode gives you a new, deeper roadmap to abundance that starts from the inside out.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

➡️Why doing all the right things isn’t always enough for real healing and shift.

➡️How your nervous system and internal sense of safety are actually the keys to manifesting meaningful change.

➡️How feminine embodiment helps you reclaim your full, authentic self (and why “manifesting hacks” on their own just don’t cut it).

➡️Why we unconsciously keep ourselves small, stuck, or running old patterns, even when we desperately want more.

Key takeaways:

✅Manifesting a better life isn’t just about thinking good thoughts or forcing mind power. It’s about feeling safe enough to be yourself - fully and unapologetically.

✅Your nervous system must come on board before your intentions can really take root.

✅Internal safety mutes your inner critic and frees up your life force energy for what truly matters.

✅As long as you’re hiding who you are or battling unseen, old stories, even your best effort will keep you circling the life you want, but never fully living in it.

In this episode, I’m joined by my 1:1 client Denita Acker for a conversation about what shifted when she stopped living in her head, and started listening to her body.

Denita lives and works in Washington D.C., in a fast-paced, high-performance environment. She had already worked with mindset coaches and understood the power of thought, but something deeper was calling to her while processing a break-up. That experience led her to explore feminine embodiment coaching.

In this conversation, Denita shares what she began to notice as she dropped into her body: tightness in her chest, her jaw, her shoulders, and how learning to meet herself in those moments of tension slowly created a new kind of internal safety.

We talk about how this practice has helped her stop spiraling when things feel out of control, how she’s learned to name and trust her desires, and what it means to feel safe without needing to prove anything.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• What drew Denita to embodiment work
• How she began noticing chronic physical tension, and what she did with that awareness
• How she now responds to challenge, emotion, and uncertainty from a more grounded place
• What she discovered about softness, safety, and the parts of herself she hadn’t known how to access before

Key Reflections from Denita’s Story:

• Internal safety shows up in the small moments
• Learning to feel again (after years of holding tension) requires vulnerability and presence
• The practices she worked with in between sessions were a huge part of what supported her deeper change
• Desire, for her, wasn’t just about naming what she wanted, it was about believing she was allowed to want it at all

Key Quotes:

“The biggest shift that I noticed is that I came home to myself. It's like I belong. I still get emotional when I share that." - Denita Acker

“You can’t intellectualize your way into a life of freedom. You have to feel it in your body.” -Tertia Riegler

“When I'm in control of myself, I don't need to control the world around me and I can connect better. I'm more connected because I don't need to control." - Denita Acker

You’ve journaled until your wrist hurts. You’ve repeated affirmations like a good student. You’ve got the vision board, the podcast playlists, the books stacked beside your bed…

And yet, when you finally clear a weekend just for you, you spend half of it anxious and scrolling, with a gnawing feeling that you should do something more productive. You let someone in - just a little - and then you find yourself pulling back, suddenly overwhelmed and convinced that it’s just not going to work. And what about that time when you got a financial windfall, and you walk around for a walk feeling a little nauseous.

If any of this sounds familiar, this episode will help you stop judging yourself for those responses, and start making sense of what’s actually going on beneath the surface. We’re talking about nervous system contraction, capacity, and the missing piece in how your body might still be bracing against the very life you’re trying to step into.

➡️What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The real reason why mindset work and manifesting often don't stick (even when you're doing all the right things)
• How subtle nervous system contractions sabotage your ability to receive, hold, and sustain abundance
• Why you can’t out-think scarcity if your body still feels like it’s not safe to have more
• The difference between regulation and embodiment (and why that distinction matters)

➡️Key Takeaways:

• Calling in abundance is about capacity more so than about mindset.
• If your body is not on board, you’ll keep sabotaging what you’re trying to manifest.
• Visualization, affirmations, and mindset work are beautiful but incomplete without nervous system safety.
• You can’t create an expansive life while living in contraction.
