At what point did you stop trusting yourself?

Somewhere between childhood and leadership, many of us learned to be quieter, smaller, more “acceptable.” We learned to perform, to overthink, to seek approval — and eventually, to doubt the very instincts that once came naturally.

In this powerful and reflective episode, Alex and Carol explore how early experiences shape confidence, self-expression, and leadership long before we ever realize it, and why so many high-achieving adults are still operating from beliefs formed in their earliest years.

What begins as a conversation about learning environments quickly opens into something much bigger: how identity is shaped, how fear gets wired in, and how safety — emotional and neurological — is the foundation for confidence at any age.

Along the way, Alex shares a deeply personal realization sparked by her daughter’s first parent-teacher interview in Panama — a moment that revealed not only what her child was learning, but the unconscious fears many of us carry based on stories we’ve absorbed from others’ experiences.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why being “met where you’re at” is essential for growth — in childhood and leadership
• How language, feedback, and labels quietly shape self-talk and identity
• The difference between breaking generational patterns and reclaiming generational gifts
• Why so many high performers struggle with self-doubt despite external success
• How simple morning and evening “bookends” can regulate the nervous system and build self-trust

This conversation also reveals the heart behind Alex’s upcoming children’s book, Free to Be Me — a book written to help children grow up knowing they are safe, capable, worthy, and free to use their voice, before self-doubt ever takes hold.

If you’re a parent, leader, educator, or coach who cares about confidence, self-trust, and raising the next generation — this book is for you.

What if the secret to finally sticking with your habits isn't more willpower… but understanding what your brain has been trying to tell you all along? And what if the reason you “fall off track” isn’t failure — but a hidden signal that something in your life or routine has shifted?

This week, we’re taking a playful, science-rich, myth-busting dive into the world of habits with the incredible Ronnie Loaiza — behavioral science expert, master certified life coach, certified personal trainer, and habit coach. And trust us… this conversation will change the way you think about every goal you’re setting for 2026.

Because here's the truth: if you’ve ever read Atomic Habits (or five other habit books), tried to follow the formula, and STILL wondered, “Why isn’t this working for me?” — you’re not alone. And you’re not broken.

There’s real neuroscience behind why habits fail, why routines fall apart during life transitions, and what your brain actually needs to feel safe, focused, and capable of long-term change.

Inside today’s episode, we explore:

✨ Why the “21-day habit rule” is a total myth — and what meta-studies actually show (85–185 days!)
✨ The difference between a routine and a habit — and why losing your routine doesn’t mean you’ve lost your identity
✨ The real pre-work required before ANY habit change (hint: your why has layers your brain needs to feel anchored)
✨ How your environment, identity, and old neural pathways silently dictate your behavior
✨ Why momentum beats motivation every single time
✨ The role of dopamine and daily celebration in habit formation — especially for high achievers who rarely pause to acknowledge themselves
✨ How to spot the “void” a habit (good or bad) is filling — and finally shift the pattern without shame
✨ What to do when a habit you’ve mastered for years suddenly slips (life transitions, anyone?)
✨ How to build micro-habits that actually fit your leadership lifestyle, work rhythms, and emotional bandwidth
✨ Ronnie’s If–Then planning tool — a brain-friendly way to create flexibility without abandoning your goals

Join Us If You’re Ready To:

✔ Reset your habits with compassion, not pressure
✔ Build routines that survive real life — travel, kids, career pivots, stress, or relocation
✔ Lead with more energy, clarity, and integrity
✔ Stop relying on motivation and start relying on neuroscience
✔ Feel grounded, confident, and unstoppable heading into 2026

Tune in, take a breath, and let’s build habits that honor who you’re becoming.

Some holiday seasons feel light and sparkly… and others feel like emotional Jenga, one wobble away from toppling the whole tower.
If that resonates, you’re in the right place. This episode is your grounding place, a reminder that the holidays don’t need you to perform, perfect, or push. They’re inviting you to connect.

Today, Carol and Alex unwrap the real gift of the season: connection, with the people you love, with your community, and most importantly, with yourself. Whether you’re surrounded by family or celebrating quietly, this conversation helps you lean into presence rather than pressure, intention rather than hustle.

If you’ve found yourself feeling lonely, overstimulated, guilty, overwhelmed, or just a little out of sync with the holiday spirit, this episode gently guides you back to what matters most… starting with remembering that you matter.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why meaningful connection starts with being rather than doing
• How self-approval fuels deeper relationships (and prevents burnout)
• Simple ways to feel connected even if family is far away
• How to interrupt loneliness or isolation with micro-moments of outreach
• Creative ways to build connection with kids by meeting them at their level
• Heart-opening questions you can ask during gatherings to spark meaningful conversations
• The neuroscience behind connection, energy, and why you matter more than you realize
• How to set boundaries and protect your emotional well-being during a full season
• Why leaders (yes, you) play a powerful role in shaping the emotional tone of a room
• Practical ways to create joy and presence no matter what your holiday looks like

This episode is a soft landing place, a reminder that you don’t need to earn your worth, fix everything, or hold the season together. You simply get to show up as you are, breathe, and receive connection in big and small ways.

✨ Let this be your permission slip:
You matter. You are worthy. You deserve joy, presence, and love—today and every day.

Whether you're listening on Christmas Day or catching up afterward, we hope this conversation fills your cup and brings warmth to your heart.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and sending you so much love and connection.
