Get in the Mud with Lacey Dean

Why do we set boundaries only to watch them crumble when it matters most? In this episode, we dive deep into the real reasons we struggle to follow through. Together we’ll uncover the hidden roadblocks—fear, guilt, self-sabotage, and people-pleasing—that keep us from honoring our truth and standing firm in our word.This conversation will guide you toward building boundaries rooted in self-trust, clarity, and emotional safety. You’ll learn why honoring your commitments to yourself is the foundation of mental health, self-respect, and healthy relationships—and how to stop abandoning yourself when the pressure rises.✨ If you’ve ever asked yourself why your boundaries don’t stick, or why you feel guilty for saying “no,” this episode will help you step into alignment, break old patterns, and reclaim your voice.—Follow me for more encouragement, healing tools, and lots of love.📱 TikTok @laceydeancoaching📸 Instagram @laceydeancoaching📘 Facebook @laceydeancoachingsteal my content on Tiktok and Instagram.

What if the very stories you tell yourself are the ones keeping you from freedom?In this episode, we explore the courage it takes to question our own inner narratives, the beliefs we’ve carried, the shadows we’ve avoided, and the quiet doubts we’ve allowed to define us. Together, we’ll step into the tender space of asking, “What if… I am enough?”This is an invitation to lean into the discomfort of self-inquiry, to explore the darkness not as a place to fear, but as a teacher guiding us toward truth, healing, and self-love. If you’ve ever wondered who you might be without the weight of old stories, this conversation is for you.Perfect for anyone on a journey of self-growth, healing, and personal transformation. Listen, reflect, and let yourself imagine the life that becomes possible when you dare to believe you are already enough.Let’s stay connected—follow me on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @laceydeancoaching for more conversations, insights, and encouragement on your healing journey.#SelfWorth #SelfLove #HealingJourney #PersonalGrowth #InnerHealing #ShadowWork #SelfDiscovery

Get in the Mud Family, It's SO good to be back! Buckle up, we're challenging narratives. I am beyond excited to share this episode with you. I had the pleasure of connecting with El Divine Niño, an Artist, Poet, Guide & Actor, and Podcaster who's passion is the human condition. In this conversation, we dive into the concept of narratives, the stories we tell ourselves (and others), and how they are keeping us stuck. If you are struggling, feeling disempowered, questioning, hurting, or have any desire to re-write your story, this episode is for YOU! "The meaning of El Divine Niño: the divine inner child exists belongs to you. According to the laws of karma the inner child reflects your unfulfilled desires, which compel you to reawaken to the rebirth of the present. El Niño is a manifestation of the collective unconscious, a testament to the potential You hold within- the divine child. Every one of us holds divinity and potential. However, it is locked within the inner child. Your life serves an opportunity to heal that child; unlocking your deepest potential, and transmuting the energy and emotions that once paralyzed you into a driving force for creativity & growth." Connect with El Niño via: Instagram: @eldivinenino Podcast: “Where’s The Nuance?” on all major platforms. Topics discussed: Narratives, our stories, ego, inner child work, inner child, purpose, reframing, transformation, spirituality, life after trauma, suicide, self-identity, self-love, freedom, meditation, mindfulness, buddhism.

Trigger Warning: Abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, narcissistic abuse. Please know you are not alone, and there are resources available to help you along your journey of reclaiming yourself and navigating life after abuse. Please contact The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1 (800) -799-7233 for more in depth resources and support. The chaotic roller coaster ride of emotions, unstable foundations, walking on eggshells to avoid world war 3, never feeling safe, yet feeling tied to them still.. The 'hidden' subtle nature of abuse doesn't ever feel subtle, and today we're going to bring it to light. Toxic (unhealthy) relationships are something we will all face over the course of our lives, in some form of another. Whether it's within a family structure, intimate relationships, the workplace, psychological manipulation and abuse robs us of our relationship to our authentic self, true presence, and the divine connection of our intuition. In today's solo episode, I share my story about unhealthy relationships stemming from childhood and leading me into various other abusive patterns throughout my life. Please know that you are not alone, this isn't your fault, and your liberation and healing is completely possible. I am a living testament that a vibrant, fulfilling life after exists for YOU not matter what you've experienced. I want nothing more than to see you step into your power. I promise you, there's hope.

Humanity is multifaceted, complex, and twisty. We all have a wide range of emotions and experiences, thoughts, and unique beliefs that impact the way we choose function within our lives.  We recognize our light (happiness, joy, bliss, 'the positive'), but facing and feeling the depths of our shadows (sadness, grief, pride, greed, 'the negative'), the contrast can feel SO overwhelming, especially after living REAL, life-shattering experiences. How do we face the darkest, real experiences we’re still holding onto? How do we find relief within the stories living in our mind that torment us? How do we reframe effectively to shift our mindset?

"Trust: assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something one in which confidence is placed." Merriam-Webster  Trust: SO many of us have experienced life without it.  Personally, from as early as I can remember, I saw the world through the lens of broken trust, unsafe people, and painful experiences. Little by little, I began building a shield of armor around my heart that I felt would protect me from experiencing that inevitable rupture.  I began numbing the negative and by default, numbing it all. How do we learn to trust once our perception of 'safety' and 'security' have been shattered?  How do we build a solid sense of trust within ourselves after manipulation, gaslighting, and abuse? How do we lean into the uncertainty of the unknown having experienced real difficulties that have shaped us, our nervous systems, and our realities? If you've struggled with trust issues, whether within yourself or in relation to others, this episode is for you!  Topics discussed: Trust, learning to trust, trust after abuse, gaslighting, narcissistic abuse, generational abuse, manipulation, safety, divorce.

If you are also on the journey of daring to become all that you are meant to be, then this episode is for you. @brenebrown said it best... " We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we can't have both. Not at the same time.” - How comfortable are you when you're being called to stretch out of your comfort zone? - How willing are you to stand in your greatness, when you aren't feeling so great yet? - How ready are you to start owning your experience of life, in the fullest? If you feel, if you know you are meant to create a grander, more expansive and more abundant life for yourself, if you're sick of playing small, if you get that you need to start moving (dancing) with the fear, because there's just no such thing as daring safely and you need support in the unveiling of all that you can be, all that you are meant to be - than reach out to us!

Expansion, growth, and change can feel SO terrifying. Both within our individual nervous systems and the external reality around us, expansion challenges everything stable, safe, and comfortable in order to create space for more. How do we lean into the fear of the unknown with grace and curiosity? What are the things that hinder us from really stepping into our limitless potential and creating the life of our dreams? What if it turns out so much better than we could ever imagine? If you’re navigating the unknowns of expansion, growth, and change, this episode is for you! Topics discussed: expansion, fear, unknown, faith, limiting beliefs, gratitude, presence, mindfulness, meditation, uncertainty, stillness, awareness, self-awareness, cultivating healthy habits, healthy perspective, mindset, motivation.

Gratitude: What is it and why does everyone say it's so important!? How many times have we all seen a post or two saying we 'need' more of it, but why? Is there really 'power' in actively cultivating a gratitude practice?
