  • New Day Ep 5 - Leaving Survival Mode - You Have More Than You Know

    New Day Ep 5 - Leaving Survival Mode - You Have More Than You Know
    Mar 3 2026
    Today’s episode is Part Two of our survival mode conversation, and this one is about leaving it.

    New Day Ep 5 – Leaving Survival Mode: You Have More Than You Know is your reminder that you are not underqualified… you are under-acknowledged. By you. If last week helped you recognize survival mode, this week we take inventory and build from it. Because surviving taught you more than you’ve given yourself credit for, and it’s time to stop playing small with earned wisdom. You don’t need more time. You need to trust what you already carry. This episode is your evidence.

    In This Episode
    • Why high-capacity women chronically underestimate themselves
    • How survival mode makes resilience feel “normal” instead of exceptional
    • The difference between humility and self-minimizing
    • Why confidence isn’t knowing, it’s deciding you’ll figure it out
    • How to shift from waiting to moving

    Practical Activation Steps
    Complete your evidence audit:
    – List three hard things you survived
    – Name three people you’ve helped
    – Identify three moments you figured it out with zero instructions Circle one area where you’ve been hesitating and take one visible action this week
    Replace “I’m not ready” with “I’ll adjust as I go”
    Share one capability you usually downplay, out loud

    Episode Affirmations
    I am more capable than I’ve allowed myself to believe
    I honor the wisdom I earned
    I move with what I have

    Journal Prompt
    Where am I discounting my lived experience, and how has it already prepared me?

  • New Day Ep 4 - Are You In Survival Mode?

    New Day Ep 4 - Are You In Survival Mode?
    Feb 24 2026
    Today’s episode is a loving wake-up call: Are you in survival mode… and calling it “just life”?

    I’m breaking down how high-functioning women normalize their resilience, discount their lived experience, and quietly underestimate themselves. If you’ve been saying “I just need more time” or “I’m still learning” while sitting on a mountain of earned wisdom, this conversation is your interruption.

    In This Episode
    • The subtle signs you’re still operating in survival mode
    • Why humility can quietly turn into self-minimizing
    • How resilience becomes invisible when you’ve worn it too long
    • The difference between being unprepared and being unwilling to trust yourself
    • Why confidence is built through evidence, not feelings

    Practical Activation Steps
    1. Conduct an evidence audit: List three hard things you survived
    2. Name three people you’ve helped or impacted
    3. Identify three moments you figured it out with zero instructions
    4. Choose one area where you’ve been “waiting” — and take one imperfect action this week
    5. Replace “I’m not ready” with “I’ll figure it out”
    Episode Affirmations
    I am more capable than I’ve allowed myself to believe
    I honor the wisdom I earned
    I move with what I have

    Journal Prompt
    Where am I discounting my lived experience, and how has it already prepared me?

  • New Day Ep 3 - The Novel you won't put down - If I Ruled the World by Amy DuBois Barnett

    New Day Ep 3 - The Novel you won't put down - If I Ruled the World by Amy DuBois Barnett
    Feb 17 2026
    Today’s episode is a conversation with award-winning author and cultural trailblazer Amy DuBois Barnett about her debut novel, If I Ruled the World, and what it means for women to stop following other people’s playbooks and write their own rules instead. We dive into story, strategy, and real-life wisdom for women who aren’t waiting for permission; they’re creating the path.

    👉 Grab your copy of If I Ruled the World: https://amzn.to/40fTWI8

    In This Episode
    • What inspired Amy to turn a powerful idea into this story
    • How If I Ruled the World reflects women creating new systems instead of fixing old ones
    • The rules women’ve been told to follow and how we’re rewriting them
    • How creativity, courage, and community intersect in leadership and in life
    • Practical takeaways for listeners ready to lead, build, or break ground

    Practical Activation Steps
    1. Write your rule list: What “shoulds” are you retiring?
    2. Identify one area where you’ve followed someone else’s rule and replace it with yours
    3. Share your rule with a friend or write it publicly (because owning it increases impact)
    4. Choose one action this week that aligns with your new rule
    Episode Affirmations
    I am authorized to shape my life
    My rules reflect my truth
    I lead with intention

    Journal Prompt
    What rule have I been living by that isn’t mine, and what would happen if I rewrote it?
