The Empowered and Embodied Show

Louise gets real about “autopilot living” and the trap of the “perfect paper life.” From the outside, all the boxes may be checked—but inside, there’s a feeling of something missing. Society tells us, “Be grateful, stay quiet,” when we start to question the life we’re in. That constant pressure can erode our self-confidence and sense of worth, leaving us wondering, 𝑊ℎ𝑜 𝑎𝑚 𝐼 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦? It’s time to turn off autopilot and take the wheel of our own lives. Let’s break out of the shoulds and start living for what truly fulfills us.

Is it Fear, or Is It Conditioning? In this week’s episode of The Empowered & Embodied Show, Kim opens up about those moments when fear creeps in and we begin to feel incompetent—not just lacking in confidence, but questioning our own worth. Kim reminds us to ask an important question: Is this fear truly about me, or is it a result of societal conditioning? So often, the systems around us make us feel like we have to “keep up” or “take the leap” just because everyone else is doing it. But how often do we stop to ask, “Is this truly right for me?” If you’re feeling pressure to “measure up,” take a breath, reflect, and ask yourself if you’re following someone else’s path or your own.

Are you holding back because of a 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑑 lack of competence? In our latest podcast episode, feminist business coach Becky Mollenkamp shares a powerful question: “𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑜𝑐𝑟𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑛 𝑑𝑜?” Often, men will apply for roles even if they only meet 30% of the job requirements. Women, however, often wait until we meet 90%. This hesitation can stem not from a real lack of competence, but from societal conditioning. Next time you’re on the fence, ask yourself: 𝐼𝑠 𝑖𝑡 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠, 𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑐 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠 ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘?

Feeling stuck on the "how"? Just take the first step. In the most recent episode of The Empowered and Embodied Show, our guest Dr. Clarissa Castillo-Ramsey shares her approach to making meaningful progress when big goals feel overwhelming. Instead of getting caught up in how everything will work out, Clarissa emphasizes taking that first step—and then the next. Her advice? Start small, be brave, and make a habit of reflecting on each step you take. In today’s go-go-go culture, reflection is often overlooked but is essential for sustainable growth. Ask yourself: 1️⃣ What went well? 2️⃣ What was challenging? 3️⃣ What can I try differently next time? At the heart of this journey lies self-care and a growth mindset. As Clarissa says, “Know that anything is possible—what you see in your mind, you can absolutely hold in reality.” Take the first step, reflect, and stay flexible.

Ever found yourself drowning in “all the things” thinking, “Wait, why am I here? How did all this pile up when I actually have control?” In this week’s episode of The Empowered and Embodied Show, Louise shares how she sometimes finds herself deep in the crunch before she realizes she’s let it all stack up. And then, she has to pause, pick herself up, dust off, and reach for her tools. Because that’s the work, right? Knowing yourself well enough to feel when things get heavy, to spot the crunch before it drowns you. This journey of learning to really know ourselves, below the neck—that’s where the magic happens. It’s all part of the process. #KnowYourself #EmotionalGrowth #RealTalk

✨You are in choice.✨ Sometimes, we aren’t able to feel the light inside of us. The heaviness of the world and what’s going on in our lives can feel like too much. But when we are able to hold onto the light—when we have just a spark of it, even—it’s a gift we can share. A phone call, a laugh with a friend, a little moment of joy in the middle of it all. It doesn’t erase the heavy stuff, but it lets us hold it without being crushed by it. Because here’s the thing: energy is contagious. We’re all connected, and those closest to us feel what we feel. So when we have the chance to hold even a bit of light, let’s share it. For ourselves, for each other, for everyone. #CollectiveLight #ChooseJoy #EnergyMatters

When everything feels too big and you’re overwhelmed, here’s a small but powerful tip: grab a blanket, wrap it around yourself like a hug, and just breathe. Sometimes that simple act can calm the swirling energy inside, bringing you back to a state of groundedness. Because here’s the thing: not everything that feels heavy has to be “big” in the world to weigh us down. Sometimes it’s those smaller, personal struggles that feel just as overwhelming. So let’s remember to give ourselves grace, wrap ourselves up, and honor whatever we’re carrying. 💛 #GentleSelfCare #ItAllMatters #FindingCalm
