Let Riselle know you're listening

In this episode, I’m sitting down with a school friend who turned a simple desire into six published books. She didn't overthink it. She just did it.

We talk about how she started writing for herself first, which took away the fear of failing. She did it with no pressure or trying to impress anyone. Just doing what she felt called to do.

She shares how she built her own publishing company, why she didn’t wait for permission, and how her life, her family, and all the places she’s lived shape the stories she tells.

This is a real conversation about what happens when you stop overthinking your dream and just start moving on it.

You know that moment right before you walk into something important… a meeting, an interview, a room full of people you don’t know… and suddenly your confidence disappears?

This episode is for that exact moment.

In this episode I'm skipping the long talk. Instead, I'm sharing with you some simple and practical things you can do right before you walk into that room or meeting to help you boost your confidence and walk in with your head held high.

Save this for whenever you need a little reminder.

My father introduced me to this Dutch saying: "Nee, heb je. Ja, kan je krijgen." And it literally translates to: You already have a "No" but you could get a "Yes".

If you never try, the answer will always be No. By trying and by failing you could make it into a Yes.

If you were waiting for permission, my friend, let this be it. Let this be the motivation you need to say "Yes" to your dreams and to creating the life you want for yourself.

In the words of one of my favorite artists, Ed Sheeran: "Success doesn't teach you anything. Failure does."

Every year we say the same thing.

“This year will be different.”

But then… the same stress, the same habits, the same excuses show up again.

In this episode I’m talking about the patterns we repeat without realizing it. The relationship we keep complaining about. The job we hate but never leave. The dreams we say we want but never actually work on.

You’re not stuck.
You’re repeating.

And the good news? Patterns can be broken.

Download the Dream to Action Starter Kit here and start making small changes that actually move your life forward.

Stop disrespecting your dreams. This is the year you start turning them into reality.

The other day, bubbles from my neighbor’s balcony drifted down onto mine. And it made me realize something.

We are all like bubbles.

We live under the same sky. We see the same world. But what’s inside our bubble is different. Our memories. Our beliefs. Our experiences.

That’s why two people can see the same thing and feel something completely different.

In this episode, I break down why we judge too fast, why we argue, and how empathy can change the way we move through life.

Something falls apart. A breakup. A loss. A betrayal. An ending you didn’t see coming.

It feels like a disaster.

But what if this is actually your awakening?

In this episode, I’m talking about how most awakenings come wrapped in pain, why we get stuck in anger and blame, and the one decision that determines whether this moment breaks you… or builds you.

If you’re in the middle of something heavy right now, this conversation is for you.

Ready to turn your pain into direction?
Join me in Saint Martin at the next retreat, grab the Dream to Action Starter Kit, or go from Heartbreak to Your Next Chapter in days, a mini course to help you rebuild and reclaim after getting your heart stomped on. Whatever it is that you need to help you through your Awakening, I got you, sis.

In this episode, I am talking about triggers and why they are not the enemy. We love to blame other people for how we feel, but the truth is, if something triggers you, it is showing you something that still needs your attention. Every reaction is a mirror. And when we react without thinking, we give our power away. I share how to pause instead of react, how to get curious instead of defensive, and why your next trigger might actually be telling you something deeper. If you are ready to stop pointing fingers and start doing the real inner work, this one is for you.
