It’s about the weight of being seen as different, and the emotional work of trying to feel normal in a world that constantly points it out.💛 This one’s for the woman who’s tired of always having to explain herself.You don’t need the perfect answer.You don’t owe anyone a performance of your strength.Inside this vulnerable and empowering conversation, I’m sharing:🙃 A story about being asked how I live my life—with one arm—in the middle of Target💬 Why even well-meaning questions can still feel heavy🧠 The shift that helped me stop feeling like I needed to explain myself🛑 Permission to not educate or justify how you exist🌿 The quiet power of showing up without apology or explanation🎧 Because your life is not a TED Talk—and you don’t need to prove your worth.💛 Resources & Links:Get the free guide: Start Fresh: 3 Empowering Steps to Rebuild Confidence and Move ForwardBook a Resilience Roadmap Session: Let’s talk about your next chapterJoin the community: Thriving Beautifully Nation on FacebookEmail me anytime: beautifulmindandsoulcoaching@gmail.comFollow me on Instagram: @beautifulmindandsoulcoachingInstagram Channel: The Empowered Lounge
Have you ever been so caught off guard by someone’s reaction to you that it left you feeling small… or even ashamed?In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story I’ve held onto for a long time—one that still echoes when I think about where confidence really begins. I was just trying to live my life… and then a girl screamed when she saw me.Her reaction was loud. It was shocking. And it made me want to hide. But over time, I’ve realized: it wasn’t really about me. And I get to choose how I see myself—even if someone else once made me feel like I shouldn’t be seen at all.💛 In this heart-to-heart, we’ll talk about:The real emotional toll of being stared at or singled outWhy other people’s reactions don’t get to define your worthHow I moved through the shame and toward self-acceptanceA reminder for every woman who’s ever wanted to shrink backThis episode is a love note to the girl who wanted to disappear after that moment. If you’ve ever felt like that too—this one’s for you.💛 Resources & Links:Get the free guide: Start Fresh: 3 Empowering Steps to Rebuild Confidence and Move ForwardBook a Resilience Roadmap Session: Let’s talk about your next chapterJoin the community: Thriving Beautifully Nation on FacebookEmail me anytime: beautifulmindandsoulcoaching@gmail.comFollow me on Instagram: @beautifulmindandsoulcoaching
From my first fitting at 6 months old to the bold moment I put my prosthetic in the closet at 9 years old—this episode is a heart-to-heart about what it really means to choose yourself.For a long time, I wore a prosthetic because it was what I was “supposed” to do. It became part of my routine, like shoes or socks. But deep down, it wasn’t helping—it was holding me back. And the day I stopped wearing it? That was the day I started trusting myself.In this episode, I’m sharing:💛 What it was like to be fitted with a prosthetic before I could crawl💬 The quiet decision I made as a 9-year-old that changed everything🌱 Why letting go of what no longer serves us is a radical act of self-trust🦾 How prosthetic technology is evolving—and why I’m open to exploring againThis isn’t just a story about prosthetics—it’s a conversation about permission. Permission to evolve. To say “this doesn’t fit me anymore.” To let go of expectations and embrace what actually supports your growth.Whether you're navigating your own limb difference, reevaluating old choices, or just need a reminder that you’re allowed to change your mind—this episode is for you.Because becoming beautifully isn’t about doing what’s expected.It’s about doing what’s right for you.Resources and Links:💛 Resources & Links:Get the free guide: Start Fresh: 3 Empowering Steps to Rebuild Confidence and Move ForwardBook a Resilience Roadmap Session: Let’s talk about your next chapterJoin the community: Thriving Beautifully Nation on FacebookEmail me anytime: beautifulmindandsoulcoaching@gmail.comFollow me on Instagram: @beautifulmindandsoulcoaching
✨ From stage lights to gold heart pins, this episode dives into the early moments that shaped my confidence—even when I didn’t realize it yet.Before I knew what mindset was, before I ever coached a client or shared my story online—I was just a little girl without any hands and a big smile… standing on stages, speaking into microphones, and learning how to connect with the world in a way that felt safe and real.In this episode, I’m taking you back to my time as a Junior Ambassador for Variety Club of Southern California—what people called a “Poster Child.” I’ll share how those early events helped me build presence, overcome fear, and begin shaping the quiet confidence that would carry me into adulthood.Inside this episode:💛 How confidence often begins in the most unexpected places💬 Why presence matters more than perfect words🌟 What the telethons, strangers, and bright lights taught me about being seenWhether you're on your own journey of rebuilding confidence—or just need a reminder that showing up messy still matters—you’ll leave this episode feeling seen, supported, and reminded that you’re not behind.

Have you ever had to relearn something that used to feel easy?In this episode, I’m sharing the full story of how I learned to write—first with my toes, and then later with a writing cuff—and what those chapters of my journey taught me about trying, practicing, and redefining what beauty looks like.As a little girl, writing with my toes felt natural. It was how I expressed myself. But in 4th grade, I made the decision to try something new… and it changed the way I saw myself, my ability, and my resilience.This episode is for the woman who’s navigating change—especially when it means letting go of what’s familiar in order to grow.💛 You’re allowed to try again. You’re allowed to evolve. And what comes next might be more beautiful than you imagined.Inside this real and vulnerable conversation, I’m sharing:👣 What it was like to learn to write with my toes as a young child✍️ Why I made the switch to using a cuff in 4th grade🧠 The emotions, resistance, and mindset shifts that came with trying something new🌸 A gentle reminder that growth isn’t always glamorous—but it’s always worth it🎧 Sometimes starting over doesn’t mean failure.It means you’re brave enough to keep becoming.Resources and Links:💛 Resources & Links:Get the free guide: Start Fresh: 3 Empowering Steps to Rebuild Confidence and Move ForwardBook a Resilience Roadmap Session: Let’s talk about your next chapterJoin the community: Thriving Beautifully Nation on FacebookEmail me anytime: beautifulmindandsoulcoaching@gmail.comFollow me on Instagram: @beautifulmindandsoulcoaching
Have you ever had a moment where something about your story made you pause—not because you’re ashamed, but because you’re still learning to fully accept it?In this episode, I’m sharing a personal moment that caught me off guard—the day I saw my disabled license plate and felt a wave of unexpected emotion.Even though I’ve lived with limb difference my entire life… something about that label, on that plate, felt heavy.This conversation is for the woman who’s still making peace with the parts of herself that feel complicated or layered.

Have you ever pushed down your discomfort just to make someone else feel okay?In this episode, we’re getting honest about the pressure so many amputee women feel to be “polite,” “inspiring,” or “easy to be around”—even when we’re hurting.This one’s for the woman who’s ever smiled through an awkward stare, answered a personal question she didn’t want to, or felt like she had to perform confidence just to make other people comfortable.💛 You don’t have to explain yourself to be worthy of respect.💛 You don’t have to smile through the discomfort.💛 You get to take up space—exactly as you are.Inside this empowering conversation, I’m sharing:💬 A moment that reminded me how often we soften ourselves for others🧠 Why we feel the need to over-explain or make people feel at ease🤍 The hidden emotional labor that comes with living visibly different🌱 A gentle reframe to help you stop shrinking and start honoring your truth🎧 This episode is your permission slip to stop performing—and start protecting your peace.Resources and Links:💛 Resources & Links:Get the free guide: Start Fresh: 3 Empowering Steps to Rebuild Confidence and Move ForwardBook a Resilience Roadmap Session: Let’s talk about your next chapterJoin the community: Thriving Beautifully Nation on FacebookEmail me anytime: beautifulmindandsoulcoaching@gmail.comFollow me on Instagram: @beautifulmindandsoulcoaching
