Growth doesn’t always feel exciting. Sometimes it feels like loss.
In this episode, we talk about outgrowing old versions of yourself, the identities, roles, dreams, and expectations that once felt safe but no longer fit. We explore the grief that can come with change, the guilt of evolving when others expect the old you, and the quiet permission it takes to let yourself become someone new.
We also reflect on memory, the fleeting nature of life, and how easy it is to chase what’s next while overlooking the beauty of right now.
You’re not betraying who you were.
You’re honouring who you’re becoming.
At some point, many of us stop trusting ourselves, not because we’re incapable, but because life teaches us to doubt our own voice.
In this episode, we unpack what self-trust really means, how it quietly erodes through comparison, failure, and people-pleasing, and the subtle signs you might be second-guessing yourself more than you realise.
We talk about rebuilding self-trust through small, daily actions: keeping promises to yourself, making decisions without constant validation, and learning to reflect without shame.
Because self-trust isn’t something you find, it’s something you build. The more you honour your own voice, the louder and clearer it becomes.
Discipline isn’t punishment — it’s self-respect.
In this episode, we challenge the idea that discipline has to be rigid, guilt-driven, or exhausting. We break down why motivation is unreliable, how extreme “hustle discipline” leads to burnout, and what healthy, sustainable discipline actually looks like.
This is about building self-trust, showing up consistently in ways that fit your life, and creating routines that support you — not control you.
Because real discipline isn’t about being strict.
It’s about being devoted to the life you’re building.
Your mindset is the foundation everything else is built on — your habits, decisions, confidence, and ultimately, your version of success.
In this episode, we unpack why external success without a healthy mindset eventually collapses, and how your thoughts and belief systems quietly shape the way you move through life.
From the choices you make daily to the standards you set for yourself, your inner world determines how stable (or shaky) your foundation really is. We also talk about what to do when life feels unstable — how to recognise when your foundation needs work, and how to begin rebuilding from the inside out instead of constantly trying to fix surface-level problems.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, exhausted, or misaligned, this episode is for you.
As we step into a new year, we’re reflecting on the lessons 2025 taught us and more importantly, what we’re choosing to carry forward.
In this episode, we talk about what it really means to show up for yourself: building habits that support you, moving your body with intention, finding hobbies that bring you back to yourself, and learning to live your life for you — not for validation, expectations, or the outside world.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, look inward, and intentionally choose the version of yourself you want to grow into.
Welcome to Built From Within, where growth starts on the inside.
We all know that feeling — when life feels slow, the spark is gone, and you start wondering if you’ve somehow fallen behind. This episode is for the in-between seasons — the ones where you’re still showing up, even when it doesn’t feel like much is happening.
We’re talking about:
The shame of “not being there yet”
What to do when your motivation disappears
Remembering that the season you’re in is not who you are
And how to find your way back when you’ve lost momentum
If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like everyone else is moving faster than you — this one’s for you.
You’re not behind. You’re just becoming.
This week, we’re chatting about the habits that actually changed our lives — not in a “5 AM, green juice, gym girl” kind of way, but in a real way. From showing up as our authentic selves and setting small reminders that help us stay grounded, to romanticizing discipline and learning to find beauty in the mundane — these are the habits that have genuinely shifted how we show up for ourselves and the people we love.
Tune in for an honest conversation about growth, self-respect, and becoming who you were always meant to be (without burning out trying to get there).
In today’s episode, we’re talking about the power of the “Delulu” mindset — that slightly unhinged, wildly confident energy that might just be the secret to success.
We unpack what “delulu” really means (spoiler: it’s not denial), how belief before evidence can change everything, and why a little bit of “crazy” confidence might be exactly what you need to get unstuck.
From psychology-backed insights to our own “delulu” moments that actually paid off, this episode is your permission slip to back yourself — even when it doesn’t make sense yet.
💭 Tune in for real talk, laughter, and the reminder that every dream starts as delusion until it becomes reality.
🎧 Listen now and ask yourself: What would your delulu self do this week?

When was the last time you were really bad at something? This episode dives into the beauty of starting over—without shame. We unpack why we resist being beginners, how to reframe embarrassment, and why the awkward middle is actually where growth happens.
It’s your reminder that courage matters more than perfection, and that being a beginner is a sign of expansion, not failure. 💛

I had a moment of clarity from God that shook me to my core - I realized I’d been chasing the wrong life. In this episode, I share what it really means to stop living for validation, start trusting yourself, and begin building a life that actually feels good. If you’ve ever felt lost, empty, or stuck performing for others, this one is for you.
Everyone talks about glow ups like it’s all about looks, money, or status—but those versions fade fast. In this episode, we flip the script on what it really means to glow up: the kind that can’t be posted but changes everything.
We unpack the signs of an internal glow up—like setting boundaries without guilt, prioritizing peace over people-pleasing, and choosing growth even when it’s uncomfortable. We also get real about the messy middle, when you’re shedding old versions of yourself and it feels anything but glamorous.
By the end, you’ll walk away with practical steps to start your own internal glow up, plus the reminder that the brightest glow doesn’t come from products, outfits, or clout—it comes from self-respect and alignment.
✨ Because the real glow up is internal.
This week we’re keeping it light and chatty with the little things that just… hit every time. From skincare habits to everyday rituals and the random upgrades we wish we knew sooner — consider this your unofficial handbook for tiny life improvements that make a big difference.
Here’s the truth: growth doesn’t usually come with fireworks and a big neon sign saying “Congrats, you’re evolving!”Most of the time, it feels awkward, uncomfortable, or like you’re not moving at all.
In this episode of Running With Scissors, we’re unpacking the sneaky little signs that you’re growing—even when it feels like nothing’s happening. From outgrowing old habits to noticing new sparks of self-awareness, we’ll help you spot the quiet wins that prove you’re further along than you think.
If you’ve been asking yourself, “Am I actually getting anywhere?” this episode is your reminder that you are.

We all have questions we dodge—the ones that creep in late at night, the ones we silence with busyness, comfort, or a glass of wine. In this episode of Running with Scissors, we’re ripping the band-aid off and asking the five questions most people avoid. They’re uncomfortable, yes. But they’re also the exact questions that expose where you’re stuck, what you’re pretending not to see, and what’s really holding you back.
Unfiltered. Unafraid. If you’re ready to stop sleepwalking through life and start choosing it, this episode is your wake-up call.

How we deal with slumps, slow days, and staying sane

We’ve been taught to stay quiet until it’s perfect. To wait until we’ve "made it" before we show up. But what if the real power lies in being seen before you're ready?
In this bold and honest episode of Running with Scissors, we challenge the idea that you have to be polished to be valuable. Instead, we explore the radical idea of building in public—of letting people witness your growth, your doubts, your evolution.
Here’s what we dive into:
- Why perfection kills connection—and how sharing the process builds trust
- How your vulnerability gives others permission to begin
- The way community forms when people see you rise in real time
- What it really means to show up authentically (without oversharing)
This episode is your reminder that you are already enough—even mid-mess, mid-doubt, mid-journey. You don’t have to be finished to be powerful.
✨ Let them witness your becoming.
Ever held yourself back because you didn’t want to look "cringe"? Thought twice about posting that reel, wearing the outfit, or saying the bold thing out loud?

If you've been dimming your light because you're afraid to be seen—this one’s your permission slip to shine anyway.
💬 Tag us with your boldest, most “embarrassing” moment—we’ll be cheering you on.
You’re not cringey. You’re becoming.
