  • Big Feelings Are Not A Flaw – Sandee Byrd
    Jan 29 2026
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd Have you ever been told you're too much - too emotional, too sensitive, or that you just have big feelings? In this episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, Transformational Coach and Empowerment Expert reframes emotional depth and sensitivity as strengths, not weaknesses. Being emotional doesn't mean you're broken - it means you're aware, intuitive, and deeply connected. This conversation explores how people with big feelings are often minimized or shamed, and how that can lead to self-doubt or shrinking yourself to be accepted. This episode is an invitation to stop apologizing for how you feel and start honoring your emotional truth. Your feelings were never the problem - they were always information. What would change if you stopped seeing your big feelings as a flaw and started trusting them as your inner wisdom?

  • Nothing Is Wasted: Lessons In Disguise – Sandee Byrd
    Jan 22 2026
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd What changes when you stop judging the experience and start noticing what it gave you? With time and distance, perspective becomes possible. In this episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, Transformational Coach and Empowerment Expert explores how meaning emerges naturally when ego softens and old beliefs loosen - without forcing lessons or minimizing what was hard. This isn't about pretending everything happens for a reason. It's about recognizing how even difficult moments shape clarity, resilience, and growth in ways we couldn't see at a time. Nothing is rushed, rewritten, or dismissed. Each experience becomes part of your evolution - quietly influencing who you are becoming. What if the moments you once questioned are the very ones that carried the lessons you needed most?

  • Why Is This Happening To Me? – Sandee Byrd
    Jan 15 2026
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd How often do you find yourself asking, "Why is this happening to me or this always happens to me?" And what emotion shows up when you say it? That question often carries more emotion than we realize. Beneath it can live frustration, fear, sadness, exhaustion, or old disappointment - emotions shaped by past experiences, ego protection, and long-held false beliefs. In this episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, Transformational Coach and Empowerment Expert invites you to slow down and notice what's really happening when that question arises. Not to judge it or push it away, but to become curious about the feeling underneath the words. When we stay stuck in the question, we often miss what the moment is trying to show us. This conversation isn't about forcing meaning or bypassing emotion. It's about creating enough awareness to loosen old stories - so clarity, perspective, and learning can arrive in their own time. What if understanding doesn't come now, but reveals itself later - when you realize nothing in your life was wasted?

  • You Don't Arrive – You Evolve – Sandee Byrd
    Jan 8 2026
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd Have you ever wondered why you keep changing, even after you've done so much healing? We treat change like a destination - one day I'll be healed, one day I'll be confident, one day I'll have it all figured out. But evolution doesn't work that way. Growth isn't a finish line you cross; it's a daily practice you live. In this episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, Transformational Coach and Empowerment Expert will explore the truth that you are meant to keep evolving. Not because something is wrong with you, but because growth is your natural state. Every conversation, every challenge, every moment of awareness invites you to become a more aligned version of yourself. This isn't about constant fixing or hustling to be "better". It's about honoring that evolution is ongoing, gentle, and intentional - and that stopping growth often looks like staying stuck in old identities, beliefs, or comfort zones that no longer fit.

  • Elevating Through The Messy Middle – Sandee Byrd
    Jan 1 2026
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd Have you ever reached a point where you know you've grown... but you don't quite feel like you've arrived? Welcome to the messy middle! In this episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, Transformational Coach and Empowerment Expert explores the in-between space - the part of the journey where you've done the work, let go of old versions of yourself, and yet still feel uncertain, uncomfortable, or unsteady. This is the phase no one prepares us for: when healing isn't loud, clarity isn't instant, and progress doesn't always feel like progress. We'll talk about why the messy middle is not a setback, but a sign of transformation. How identity shifts before confidence catches up. And why honoring this season instead of rushing through it is what actually elevates you. This episode is for anyone who feels like they're standing between who they were and who they're becoming - and wondering if they're doing it "right."

  • Life Isn't A Resolution – It's A Relationship – Sandee Byrd
    Dec 25 2025
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd What if the parts of you that want to grow don't need a new year - just a new way of relating to yourself? In this episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, Transformational Coach and Empowerment Expert opens a conversation around the idea that growth doesn't follow a calendar. While New Year Energy often invites reflection and fresh starts, real transformation isn't seasonal - it's relational. This conversation explores how tending to your life the way you would any meaningful relationship - with honesty, patience, and care - creates lasting growth long after the calendar turns - so what would change if you focused less on resolving yourself and more on relating to yourself?

  • When The Body Answers Before You Do – Sandee Byrd
    Dec 18 2025
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd Have you ever said, " I just need a break," and suddenly you're sick? Or thought "I can't keep going like this," and your body instantly agreed? In this episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, Transformational Coach and Empowerment Expert, explores how we literally talk ourselves into experiences - especially the ones we don't think we're manifesting. When you repeatedly say I want rest, even silently your body will find a way to give it to you. Sometimes that "way" looks like forced downtown, sickness, exhaustion, or your body hitting the brakes when your mind refuses to. But there is a powerful flip side: the same intentional voice that can talk your body into healing. What you speak, think, and believe sends instructions through the nervous system. Fear can create symptoms, and belief can dissolve them. Stress can manifest as illness, and safety can manifest as recovery. This episode reveals how the body keeps the score - but your mind writes the outcomes. This episode will help you: *Recognize that the words you speak become the instructions for your body... *Understanding why saying you need rest often shows up as sickness... *Learning that speaking healing creates healing in the body... *What your mind says your body responds...

  • Stop Wearing Labels As Identity – Sandee Byrd
    Dec 11 2025
    Emotional Elevator with Sandee Byrd Have you ever tried to explain a part of yourself that wasn't broken- just misunderstood? In this episode of Emotional Elevator, Sandee Byrd, Transformational Coach and Empowerment Expert opens up about labels she once carried like a second skin: abandonment issues, PTSD, ADD, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, people-pleasing, depression, and more. Each label felt like an explanation she owed the world... and to herself. Sandee realized she was wearing labels as her identity or as badges. But what if nothing was ever broken? Sandee will take you through how we collect these labels - sometimes for clarity, sometimes for survival - and how easily we shift from being reference points to becoming restrictions. These labels were never meant to define you, limit you, or hold you back from who you are becoming. This episode invites you to release the need to justify your feeling, stop over-explaining your existence, and step into the truth that you are not broken. You can change anything - without explaining everything.
