This Daring Adventure

Many women reach midlife and feel a quiet restlessness they can’t quite explain.Their life may look good on paper.They’ve built a career.Raised children.Supported partners and families.Done all the things they were “supposed” to do.But something inside them keeps whispering:There has to be more.In the final episode of the Reinvention Series, we explore a powerful question that most women never stop to ask:What are you really hungry for?Because the truth is, many women think they’re craving things like a new job, a smaller body, or a better routine.But what they’re actually craving is something deeper.Expansion.Meaning.Growth.Aliveness.If you’ve been feeling restless, dissatisfied, or unsure what your next chapter looks like, this episode will help you understand what that feeling may be trying to tell you.Reinvention doesn’t begin with a dramatic life change.It begins with awareness.In This Episode, You’ll Learn• Why many midlife women misdiagnose what they’re truly craving• How buffering behaviors hide deeper desires• Why restlessness is often a signal of growth—not failure• The powerful question that can unlock your next chapter• How awareness leads to intentional reinventionThe Reinvention SeriesThis episode concludes the 3-part Reinvention Series:Episode 1: Why You’re Not Actually StuckEpisode 2: Stop Fixing the Wrong ProblemEpisode 3: The real reason you want moreTogether, these episodes explore the hidden patterns that keep women stuck and the mindset shifts that allow reinvention to begin.Ready for more?If this series resonated with you, join my free live training on March 26, 7 PM EDT:The 3 Secrets Webinar(Going from “My Best Years Are Behind Me” to “I’m Just Getting Started”)A replay will be shared if you can't join live.

Many women in midlife believe the reason they feel stuck is something on the surface.Their job.Their weight.Their productivity.Their schedule.So they try to fix those things.They change careers.They start new routines.They try to be more disciplined.But the stuck feeling eventually comes back.Why?Because the real issue is rarely the circumstance.It’s the relationship you have with yourself.In Episode 2 of the Reinvention Series, we explore why surface changes often don’t last and how true reinvention happens at the level of identity.If you know you’re meant for more but feel unsure how to move forward, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.In This Episode, You’ll LearnWhy changing your job, habits, or routine doesn’t always solve the feeling of being stuckThe concept of the identity gap between your old self and your emerging selfWhy midlife discomfort is often a sign of expansion — not failureWhy waiting for clarity can actually keep you stuckHow awareness leads to identity evolution and reinventionThe Reinvention SeriesThis episode is part of a special 3-part Reinvention Series for women who feel stuck and know they’re meant for more.Episode 1 explored why feeling stuck is often the result of buffering behaviors like overthinking, scrolling, and procrastinating.Episode 2 focuses on the deeper issue many women miss — the relationship you have with yourself.In Episode 3, we’ll explore a powerful question:What are you really hungry for?Because many women think they want a different job, a smaller body, or less stress — when what they’re actually craving is expansion, meaning, and aliveness.Questions to Reflect OnAs you listen to this episode, consider asking yourself:Where am I trying to fix a surface problem in my life?What identity am I still living from that may no longer fit?What version of myself is trying to emerge right now?What might change if I stopped waiting for perfect knowing?Ready for Deeper Clarity?If you want help identifying the exact pattern that’s keeping you stuck, book a Clarity Audit.For $29, you’ll receive a personalized video where I break down:The thought pattern keeping you stuckThe coping behavior underneath itWhat you may be avoidingAnd the next step to move forward Book your Clarity Audit hereJoin me for The 3 Secrets WebinarOn Thursday, March 26th, 2026, I will be hosting my first Zoom webinar of the year called The Three Secrets webinar. Be honest with yourself for a second — do you believe your best years are behind you?Because a lot of women I talk to do. They don't say it out loud. But it's there, running quietly in the background, shaping every decision.And I get it. When the roles that defined you start to shift — when the kids need you less, when the career stops feeling like enough, when you wake up and think who even am I now — it makes sense that your brain defaults to: it was better before.But that thought is a lie. A very convincing, neurologically-backed lie. And I can prove it to you.The 3 Secrets Workshop is a live, 60-minute session where I'll show you exactly what's driving the stagnation, the self-sabotage, and the flatness. And more importantly, how to interrupt it and step into what's actually next for you.This is not a pep talk. This is the mechanism — explained — and a framework that actually works.$7. Sixty minutes. Your next chapter starts here.And if this episode resonated with you, share it with a woman who might be feeling stuck in this season of life.Share the EpisodeIf this episode resonated with you, share it with a woman who might be feeling stuck in this season of life.Reinvention is possible at any stage.And it starts with awareness.Thanks, everyone! See you next week.

If you feel stuck in midlife — in your career, marriage, body, or identity — this episode will change how you see yourself.Most women believe they’re stuck because they lack motivation, confidence, or discipline.But that’s not the real reason.In this first episode of the 3-part Reinvention series, we break down:Why midlife women mistake coping for character flawsThe hidden behaviors keeping you stuck (scrolling, overworking, overthinking, people-pleasing)What “buffering” is and how it prevents reinventionThe awareness questions that create clarity fastWhat reinvention actually means — and why you may be ready for itIf you know you’re meant for more but can’t seem to move, this episode will help you identify what’s really going on beneath the surface.Reinvention doesn’t require blowing up your life.It requires awareness.🎧 Listen now and start seeing your patterns clearly.Ready for deeper clarity?Book a Clarity Audit - for $29 you'll answer a few questions and I will provide you with a 20-minute personalised video helping you see what's really keeping you stuck and the aligned action steps you can take right away to move yourself forward.

Are you waiting to feel ready before you make a change?In this episode, we challenge the belief that clarity, confidence, or motivation will arrive first — and then you’ll finally take action. The truth is: most people don’t stay stuck because they lack answers. They stay stuck because they’re waiting for emotional certainty before making a decision.You’ll learn why readiness is a myth, how waiting quietly erodes self-trust, and what actually creates momentum in your life.This episode will help you stop postponing change and start moving — even when you don’t feel sure yet.In This EpisodeWhy confidence doesn’t come before actionThe hidden cost of waiting for the “right time”How avoidance disguises itself as preparationThe moment life actually starts to changeA new way to make decisions without certaintyReady for clarity?The Clarity Audit helps you identify the exact pattern keeping you stuck and the next step forward.Book yours here: https://pages.tristaguertin.com/products/the-clarity-audit

Have you ever felt restless even though your life is objectively good?You’re grateful. Stable. Calm.But something feels underused — like there’s more in you that isn’t being expressed.Most people assume this means they need a new job, a new plan, or a major life change.In this episode, I explain why that’s usually the wrong conclusion.You don’t necessarily want a different career.You want expansion.When your brain no longer has survival problems to solve, it starts searching for meaning, growth, and movement. But instead of recognizing that internal need, it tries to solve it externally — by finding the “right” decision before taking action.That’s why you stay stuck in overthinking and indecision.In this episode you’ll learn:Why feeling stuck often appears after life becomes stableThe difference between a career problem and an expansion needWhy clarity does not come from thinking harderHow overanalyzing keeps you disconnected from what you actually wantThe real way direction forms in adulthoodWhy waiting to be sure prevents you from discovering anythingIf you’ve been trying to figure out what you want before you start moving, this episode will help you understand why that hasn’t worked — and what actually does.This conversation is especially relevant if you feel capable, motivated, and ready for something more… but can’t identify exactly what that “more” is.Follow me on InstagramReady to get unstuck?

In Episode 151, I discuss the concept of choosing between the pain of discipline and the pain of regret.Drawing inspiration from Jim Rohn's words, I emphasize that discipline is a part of identity creation rather than mere productivity.The episode explores how regret often stems from unfulfilled promises made to oneself and offers practical advice on developing self-discipline through small, daily behaviors. I highlight the importance of self-trust and self-respect in transforming one's identity and living a more fulfilled life.Listen in to discover actionable steps toward becoming the person you aspire to be and reducing regret by honoring commitments to yourself.Follow me on Instagram

Have you ever said something you regret… and then spent hours replaying it in your mind like you can somehow undo it? In this episode of This Daring Adventure, Trista Guertin breaks down the truth about shame: it isn’t proof that you’re a good person, and it isn’t what creates growth. Shame is a thought pattern that keeps you stuck in self-attack, overthinking, and people-pleasing. You’ll learn why shame isn’t caused by what you did—it’s caused by what you’re thinking about what you did right now. Using the Life Coach School Model (C-T-F-A-R), Trista teaches you how to separate the facts from the story, find the emotion underneath the reaction, and shift into self-leadership and self-trust. If you’re a woman who’s ready to make a real change, this episode will help you break the shame spiral and step back into your power.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeIn this episode, you’ll learn:Why shame is NOT the same thing as accountabilityThe real reason you can’t “let it go” after you mess upHow shame fuels spiraling, over-apologizing, and emotional exhaustionHow to separate the fact of what happened from the story you’re making it meanWhy you don’t need to feel bad to do betterHow to use the Life Coach School Model (C-T-F-A-R) to shift out of shame fastThe most important question to ask after you regret something you said or didHow to repair, learn, and move forward without abandoning yourselfKey TakeawaysShame doesn’t make you better—it makes you smaller.Shame is not growth. It’s self-punishment.Your past isn’t creating your shame—your current thinking is.When you find the emotion underneath the reaction, you stop making yourself wrong.Self-trust is built through compassion + clean learning, not self-attack.Free Coaching Session (Limited Time)If you’re ready to stop spiraling, stop people-pleasing, and stop dragging shame behind you like it’s your identity…I'm offering a FREE coaching session for a limited time only.

If you’ve been trying to change your habits, your mindset, or your life—and you keep falling back into old patterns—this episode will explain why. Sustainable change isn’t about more motivation or willpower. It’s about identity. In this episode of This Daring Adventure, Trista shares how identity is created through the thoughts you repeatedly think about who you are, and why you can’t change what you’re doing without changing who you’re being. You’ll learn how to identify your current identity, choose a new one on purpose, and build evidence through small daily actions that make your change your new normal. This is a powerful taste of the work Trista is teaching inside Shift 2026 in her coaching community, You, Redefined.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeIn this episode, you’ll learn:Why you keep “starting over” even when you want changeWhat identity really is (and why it’s not a personality trait or a fixed label)How your identity creates your results using the Life Coach School ModelThe difference between trying to change and becoming someone newHow to choose a new identity that matches the life you wantWhy discomfort is a sign of growth—not failureA simple 3-step identity practice you can use immediatelyKey TakeawaysIdentity is not who you are—it’s what you repeatedly think about who you are.Your results are a reflection of your practiced identity, not your potential.Sustainable change becomes possible when you stop trying harder and start becoming different.You build a new identity through evidence, not perfection.The discomfort you feel during change is often the signal that it’s working.You’ll love the work we’re doing inside You, Redefined — my coaching community where we’re preparing for Shift 2026, a 12-week identity and mindset transformation designed to help you create real, sustainable change.Come join us and become the woman who decides to make changes, not wait for them.Want to try coaching for yourself?

Hard situations are unavoidable — family stress, grief, shared responsibilities, conflict, holidays, work projects, or major life transitions. What is optional is letting those moments damage the relationships that matter most.In this episode of This Daring Adventure, we explore how to move through hard situations without losing connection, compassion, or yourself in the process.This episode offers a grounded, practical framework for navigating emotionally charged situations with intention and care.Rather than focusing on fixing others or controlling outcomes, this conversation centers on self-leadership: managing your thoughts, processing emotions, allowing discomfort, and choosing how you want to show up — again and again.This episode is for anyone who wants to build strong relationships, even when life feels messy, heavy, or overwhelming.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeIn this episode, I share 10 principles to help you navigate hard situations while protecting and strengthening your relationships:Why setting an intention for the relationship changes everythingHow the story you tell yourself shapes your emotional experienceHow to choose how you want to show up — regardless of others’ behaviorWhy rehearsal and visualization help you respond instead of reactHow to release control over others and reclaim control over yourselfWhy discomfort is not a problem — it’s part of meaningful connectionHow processing emotions regularly prevents resentment and burnoutThe role of compassion for both yourself and the other personWhy this work must be practiced repeatedly, not onceHow to recover when you mess up and begin again without self-judgmentKey Topics CoveredNavigating relationships during stressful or emotional situationsManaging family dynamics and conflictEmotional regulation and intentional livingPersonal growth during hard seasonsCompassion, boundaries, and self-leadershipHow to stay connected under pressureReflection QuestionsWhat hard situation or relationship am I currently navigating?What do I want the relationship to look and feel like when this is over?What story am I telling about the other person — and is it helping me?How do I want to show up when things feel uncomfortable?Where can I practice more compassion — for myself or for them?Final ThoughtHard situations don’t destroy relationships.Unconscious reactions do.When you choose intention over impulse, compassion over control, and presence over perfection, you don’t just get through hard seasons — you grow through them.And that is the real daring adventure.If this episode spoke to you, you’ll love the work we’re doing inside You, Redefined — my coaching community where we’re preparing for Shift 2026, a 12-week identity and mindset transformation designed to help you create real, sustainable change.Come join us and become the woman who decides to make changes, not wait for them.Want to try coaching for yourself?

Every year, we hear the same thing:“I hope this year brings you everything you want.”But what if the year isn’t bringing you anything at all?In this New Year’s Day episode, Trista challenges the quiet but powerful belief that time, circumstances, or January 1st will magically create change in our lives. Instead, she invites you into something far more empowering: ownership, intention, and agency.This episode isn’t about resolutions, pressure, or “new year, new you.”It’s about remembering that you are the creator of your life—not the recipient of it.Inside this episode, you’ll explore:Why hoping for the year to “bring you something” subtly gives away your powerWhat you actually do control—and why it’s enoughThe difference between intention and outcomeWhy the best year yet doesn’t mean an easy yearHow to stop waiting and start deliberately creating your lifeThis is a calm, grounding reminder that you don’t need to feel ready, confident, or certain to begin. You just need to be willing.If you’re ready to stop drifting, stop waiting, and start creating—this episode is for you.Happy New Year.Let’s build it on purpose.Let's go!If this episode spoke to you, you’ll love the work we’re doing inside You, Redefined — my coaching community where we’re preparing for Shift 2026, a 12-week identity and mindset transformation designed to help you create real, sustainable change.Come join us and become the woman who decides to make changes, not wait for them.Want to try coaching for yourself?

In this episode of This Daring Adventure podcast, hosted by mindset mentor and life coach Trista Guertin, the focus is on 'The Illusion of Safety.' Inspired by Tony Robbins' concept of human needs, especially certainty, Trista explores how our quest for external predictability often holds us back. She contrasts external certainty—control, comfort, predictability—with internal certainty—self-trust, confidence, groundedness. Highlighting that real security comes from within, Trista shares actionable tips through the three pillars of inner certainty: self-trust, emotional regulation, and intentional thinking. Additionally, she offers daily practices to help shift from fear to faith and from control to growth.

In this episode of This Daring Adventure, I share a powerful coaching session that reveals the real reason so many women feel stuck — in their relationships, careers, and lives.When you believe thoughts like “He’s needy,” “My boss is oppressive,” or “It’s hard to make friends as an adult,” it feels like you’re just stating facts. But these thoughts aren’t neutral — they’re creating your emotional experience.Through the story of one client who thought her relationship and career were falling apart, Trista shows how our brains quietly turn interpretations into “truths,” and how this keeps us disconnected and dissatisfied. You’ll learn:Why the way you think about someone is your real relationship with them.How to separate facts from stories and stop fighting reality.Why scarcity thinking makes you overwork, overdrink, and overreact.How to shift your thoughts to instantly change how you feel — without changing anyone else.If you’re ready to stop believing that life has to change before you can feel better, this episode will show you exactly where your power lies — in your mind.Key Topics CoveredThe “needy boyfriend” model and how thoughts create distanceWhy your brain mistakes opinions for factsRewriting your story about relationships, work, and friendsMoving from scarcity to abundance in your thinkingThe secret to changing your life without changing your circumstancesQuotable Moments“You think you’re just reporting the news — but really, you’re narrating your life into existence.”“You don’t need your boss, your partner, or your circumstances to change. Your life changes when your thoughts do.”“You can change your job, your city, or your relationship — but if you don’t change your thinking, you take the same results with you.”If this episode hits home, and you’re ready to see how your thoughts are shaping your life, book a free one-hour coaching session with Trista.You’ll bring one area of your life — your relationship, your job, or that feeling of being stuck — and she’ll show you exactly how to change it from the inside out.👉 Book your free coaching sessionResources & LinksFollow me on Instagram🌿 Join You, Redefined, my new monthly coaching membership📅 Book a FREE COACHING SESSION with Trista (one hour): https://tristaguertincoachingsession.as.me/DiscoveryGet my free guide to Create the Life You WantEnjoying the podcast?Please consider rating, reviewing, and subscribing to This Daring Adventure on your favourite podcast platform.

When your child is struggling — whether it’s a learning disorder, emotional challenge, or just the daily ups and downs of growing up — every part of you wants to protect them.

In this episode of This Daring Adventure, Master Life Coach Trista Guetin unpacks a real coaching conversation that reveals the surprising truth about anger — it’s rarely about the situation in front of you.When one client felt furious after her cousin made burial decisions without consulting her, what seemed like a family dispute turned out to be something much deeper — unprocessed grief, regret, and a need for emotional closure.Trista walks you through what’s really happening when you get triggered, why unresolved emotions resurface years later, and how to process anger in a way that brings peace instead of resentment.This episode is an invitation to stop letting your emotions run your life — and start understanding them instead.You’ll learn:Why anger often hides deeper emotions like regret or powerlessnessHow to tell when your reaction is about now vs. the pastThe difference between surface-level problem solving and true emotional growthThe self-coaching shift that turns emotional reactivity into calm powerHow to use this same process to heal old wounds and stop recreating painful patternsIf you’ve ever been mad about something and later realized it wasn’t really about that thing — this episode will help you see exactly why.✨ Want to go deeper?Join me inside You, Redefined — my coaching community and membership on SKOOL.It’s where we take everything from the podcast and apply it to your real life — so you can stop spinning and start feeling in control again.You can try it free for 7 days, and right now, you can lock in the founding member rate of just $19/month for as long as you stay.👉 Join hereWant more support?Get my free guide to Get Unstuck here. ✅ Book a Free 1:1 Coaching Consult – If you’re interested in 1:1 coaching and ready to create real change, schedule a powerful 45-minute call with me.
