What does it actually look like to build something that doesn't break? Not the highlight reel version, but the real version, where the clients don't show up, a pandemic shuts everything down, and you have to start over more than once?That's exactly what Dr. Terry Carter did. She's the CEO of Terry International Consulting and host of the Empowered Nurse Leader Summit, and she has built a global nursing leadership consulting firm that has served clients from the United States to Dubai to East Africa. But the path to get there was anything but straightforward.In this conversation, Terry shares how she kept going through years of slow growth, how COVID froze her contracts mid-stream and forced a complete pivot, and what she calls the "endurance toolkit" that keeps her in a high-performance state as a founder.Here's what we get into:Terry's framework for preparing for the worst without abandoning your visionWhy doing a personal inventory of your skills (even the obvious ones) is the starting point for getting unstuckWhat "banning the boats" actually means and when it's the right moveHow COVID didn't break her business, it redirected it into something biggerThe daily practices Terry uses to stay grounded when everyone is looking to her for directionIf you've been in a slow season and wondering whether to keep going, this conversation will remind you why the answer is yes.👉  Explore the Full Episode Page:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/building-a-business-that-survives-anything-dr-terry-carterMeet Dr. Terry CarterDr. Terry Carter, DNP, RN, NE-BC, is a nurse executive, leadership strategist, and author known for her work on sustainable leadership and burnout recovery.

Sales doesn't have to feel like a performance. In this episode, I sit down with Chris Castanes, author, speaker, and sales expert with 30+ years in the field, and we get into the real stuff: why rejection isn't personal, how to build a referral network that actually works, and how to make selling feel less like a transaction and more like a conversation.Chris started his career doing door-to-door insurance sales in the mid-80s (yes, including one memorable encounter involving a vacuum salesman, a very angry homeowner, and a pistol). He's seen it all, and what he's learned is that the best salespeople aren't the most aggressive ones. They're the ones who genuinely care about helping people.If you've ever avoided a sales conversation because you didn't want to seem pushy, or if you've wondered why your friends aren't your first clients, this one's for you.In this episode, you'll learn:Why rejection is almost never about you, and what it actually is aboutHow to transition from networking small talk to a real sales conversationThe three-option pricing strategy that moves people toward yesSpecific ways to ask for referrals without making it weirdWhy confidence comes from action, not the other way aroundSales is a skill, and skills can be learned. You don't have to love it. You just have to get out there and do it until it stops feeling so heavy.👉 Explore the Full Episode Page:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/how-to-sell-without-feeling-slimyMeet Chris CastanesChris Castanes is the president of Surf Financial Brokers, a speaker, author and host of the "You're Going To Be Great At This!" podcast.Website: https://www.chriscastanes.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-castanes-4861a92/Podcast: https://chriscastanes.my.canva.site/ygtbgat-landing-pageWays to Work With LaChelle🔥FREE Training - Flow State Money ResetLearn why your income feels inconsistent and how to shift into aligned, reliable momentum.https://iam-lifebydesign.com/flowmoney🎧 Listen to Full Episodes on your Favorite PlatformApple: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastappleSpotify: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastspotifyYouTube: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastyoutube❤️ Connect on IGhttps://instagram.com/lachellewieme📅 Book Your Support & Growth Consultation:https://iam-lifebydesign.com Hosted on Acast.

There's a pattern I see constantly in high-achieving women and business owners, and I lived it for years without even knowing it: the invisible weight of feeling responsible for how everyone around you feels. If I upset you, if I disappointed you, if you walked away from our conversation unhappy with me, that felt like my problem to solve. And it was quietly running everything.In this episode, I walk you through a personal shedding process I went through at the end of 2025 that cracked something wide open for me. It started with a one-minute Instagram reel and ended with me sitting with my two-year-old self, finally telling her she didn't have to hold anyone else's emotions anymore. And the ripple effects in my business and life have been real.Here's what I cover:How to set the intention for healing without it needing to be a dramatic breakdownWhy empathy can actually be a trauma response rooted in childhood survival, not sensitivityHow feeling responsible for others' emotions shows up in your business (overdelivering, avoiding hard conversations, discounting your rates, saying yes when you mean no)The process I used to identify the root of my people pleasing and begin releasing itWhy getting to the root of a pattern changes everything that strategy alone never couldYou are not broken. There is nothing wrong with you. There are just some puppet strings running in the background that are ready to be seen.If you're curious where your gaps are and what's quietly running your show, I have a few openings each month for an Align and Growth Consultation. Let's find the root together.👉  Explore the Full Episode Page:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/why-feeling-responsible-for-everyones-emotions-is-costing-youWays to Work With LaChelle🔥FREE Training - Flow State Money ResetLearn why your income feels inconsistent and how to shift into aligned, reliable momentum.https://iam-lifebydesign.com/flowmoney🎧 Listen to Full Episodes on your Favorite PlatformApple: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastappleSpotify: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastspotifyYouTube: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastyoutube❤️ Connect on IGhttps://instagram.com/lachellewieme📅 Book Your Support & Growth Consultation:https://iam-lifebydesign.com Hosted on Acast.

Have you been pretending you’re fine, while shame and pressure quietly run the show behind the scenes?In this episode of the Spiral Up Podcast, I sit down with Paul Simard, a death doula and men’s wellbeing guide, to talk about what most of us avoid: grief, shame, and the emotional weight we keep stuffing down because we think we should “handle it.” Spoiler alert, that strategy is exactly what keeps you stuck.Paul shares a powerful story about unexpectedly losing his job, hiding it for weeks, and how unprocessed grief turns into a spiral down that shows up in your body, your business, and your relationships. We unpack what it really means to become stoppable, not quitting, not collapsing, but learning to slow down long enough to feel what’s real, regulate your nervous system, and choose what happens next.If you’ve been in fight mode, trying to power through, this conversation is your permission slip to breathe. You’re not broken. You’re human. And your emotions are not the enemy, they’re information.What if depression is really a collapse of imagination, not a personality flaw?The “get to” mindset shift that changes everything when life hits hard.Simple nervous system tools you can use today to stop the shame spiral.Listen now, and if this hits home, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review so I can keep bringing you conversations that help you spiral up.👉  Explore the Full Episode Page:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/becoming-stoppable-shame-grief-paul-simardMeet Paul SimardPaul Simard is a Montreal‑based speaker, TED presenter, culture architect, death doula, and men’s wellness guide working at the intersection of grief, masculinity, dying, and societal change.

What if hustle feels exhausting because you’re forcing outcomes that were never meant to be forced?In this episode of the Spiral Up Podcast, I break down how quantum entanglement explains why aligned, responsive action creates better business results than pushing harder. This is not about doing nothing or waiting around. It’s about understanding how connection, timing, and coherence drive sustainable growth.I share real-life examples of quantum entanglement in action and explain how modern physics challenges the belief that more effort automatically equals more success. These principles apply directly to decision making, sales, leadership, and how you grow your business without burning yourself out.Drawing on ideas first explored by Albert Einstein, we explore why forcing outcomes creates resistance, and how working with alignment instead of control leads to more ease, clarity, and momentum.You are not behind. You are not broken. You may simply be forcing what wants to flow.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why doing more often creates noise instead of tractionHow aligned action produces results with less burnoutWhat quantum entanglement reveals about timing, readiness, and connection🎧 Subscribe and listen to the Spiral Up Podcast to grow your business with more ease, confidence, and clarity.👉  Explore the Full Episode Page:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/quantum-entanglement-aligned-actionHOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU:🔥FREE Training - Flow State Money ResetLearn why your income feels inconsistent and how to shift into aligned, reliable momentum.https://iam-lifebydesign.com/flowmoney🎧 Listen to Full Episodes on your Favorite PlatformApple: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastappleSpotify: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastspotifyYouTube: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastyoutube❤️ Connect on IGhttps://instagram.com/lachellewieme📅 Book Your 5-Figure Month Strategy Callhttps://iam-lifebydesign.com Hosted on Acast.

What if the heaviness you feel in your business isn’t burnout or discipline issues, but a signal that something is out of alignment?In this episode, I’m sharing a very real, very vulnerable look at how my own podcast stopped feeling fun and started feeling heavy, and how my body noticed long before my mind caught up. I break down what aligned action actually feels like, how misalignment shows up physically and emotionally, and why forcing consistency can quietly drain your creativity, peace, and momentum.This conversation is about learning to trust yourself, trust God, and recognize when it’s time to pivot without shame. Alignment doesn’t mean easy or comfortable, but it does mean clean energy, clarity, and forward movement that doesn’t cost you your peace.☑️ How to recognize misalignment before burnout hits☑️ Why forcing consistency creates resistance instead of results☑️ What shifted when I chose embodiment over obligationIf something in your business feels heavier than it should, this episode will help you pause, listen, and realign so your next steps feel clear, grounded, and supported.Subscribe and listen now to Episode 119 and give yourself permission to move forward with trust instead of force.👉 Explore the Full Episode Page:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/when-aligned-action-turns-heavyEpisode Highlights00:00 - Introduction02:35 - What Aligned Action Really Means05:15 - When Your Business Stops Feeling Fun08:05 - Physical and Emotional Signs of Misalignment12:10 - Why Forcing Consistency Creates Resistance15:05 - Teaching From Memory vs Embodiment18:45 - Asking God If It’s Time to Pivot21:05 - The Podcast Shift That Restored Flow27:10 - Closing and What’s NextHOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU:🔥FREE Training - Flow State Money ResetLearn why your income feels inconsistent and how to shift into aligned, reliable momentum.https://iam-lifebydesign.com/flowmoney🎧 Listen to Full Episodes on your Favorite PlatformApple: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastappleSpotify: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastspotifyYouTube: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastyoutube❤️ Connect on IGhttps://instagram.com/lachellewieme📅 Book Your 5-Figure Month Strategy Callhttps://iam-lifebydesign.com Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever wondered why you’ve been doing so much inner work, yet the external results haven’t shown up the way you expected?I’ve been feeling the same tension, and what I’ve come to understand is that some seasons are designed to strip away what no longer fits before momentum can build. What felt heavy, slow, or frustrating wasn’t wasted time. It was preparation for movement that actually lasts.✔️ Recognizing when discomfort is a sign of growth rather than failure✔️ Releasing old identities, habits, and expectations that no longer align✔️ Shifting from internal processing into grounded, intentional actionThis season isn’t asking you to push harder. It’s asking you to move forward differently, with clarity, commitment, and trust in what’s already been built.👉  Explore the Full Episode Page:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/year-of-the-horse-momentumEpisode Highlights:00:00 The feeling of stagnation many experienced this past year03:10 Understanding cycles and seasons of growth06:45 Why inner work often feels lonely and heavy10:30 Identity shedding and misaligned patterns14:20 Recognizing what you’ve outgrown18:00 Moving from avoidance into aligned action21:45 What momentum actually responds to25:10 Trusting your body and intuition28:00 Preparing for visible expansionHOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU:🔥FREE Training - Flow State Money ResetLearn why your income feels inconsistent and how to shift into aligned, reliable momentum.https://iam-lifebydesign.com/flowmoney🎧 Listen to Full Episodes on your Favorite PlatformApple: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastappleSpotify: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastspotifyYouTube: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastyoutube❤️ Connect on IGhttps://instagram.com/lachellewieme📅 Book Your 5-Figure Month Strategy Callhttps://iam-lifebydesign.com Hosted on Acast.

Why does planning feel so overwhelming even when you are doing everything right?I see so many women blaming themselves for lack of discipline or consistency when the real issue is something deeper. When vision is unclear, every decision feels heavy, every task feels urgent, and planning starts to feel like pressure instead of support. That is not a motivation problem. It is a clarity problem.When vision comes first, strategy finally has something solid to stand on. Decisions get cleaner, follow through feels more natural, and momentum stops requiring force.✔️ Overthinking eases when there is a clear internal anchor guiding decisions✔️ Planning becomes supportive instead of draining✔️ Action feels aligned instead of reactiveIf you’re tired of forcing execution, overthinking every move, and wondering why nothing feels easeful anymore, this conversation is for you. Vision changes how you decide, what you say yes to, and how you move forward.Subscribe to the Spiral Up Podcast and listen now to start creating momentum without burnout.—👉 Explore the Full Episode Page:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/strategy-without-vision-is-exhaustingEpisode Highlights:00:00 – Welcome to Spiral Up Podcast01:05 – Why Planning Feels So Heavy02:55 – Strategy Without Vision Creates Burnout04:50 – When Everything Feels Important06:40 – Vision vs Strategy Explained08:35 – Why Avoiding Vision Feels Safer10:25 – How Vision Creates Aligned Action12:10 – Vision Board Workshop Invitation*HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU:*📅 *Book Your 5-Figure Month Strategy Call:*https://iam-lifebydesign.com🔥*FREE Training - Flow State Money Reset**Learn why your income feels inconsistent and how to shift into aligned, reliable momentum.*https://iam-lifebydesign.com/flowmoney🎧 *Listen to Full Episodes on your Favorite Platform:**Apple:* https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastapple*Spotify:* https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcast*YouTube:* @lachellewieme❤️ *Connect on IG:* https://instagram.com/lachellewieme Hosted on Acast.

What if the thing you’ve been calling selfish is actually the very desire God placed in your heart on purpose?So many faith-driven women feel stuck not because they lack discipline or strategy, but because they feel guilty wanting more. More impact. More freedom. More income. More joy. Somewhere along the way, we learned that dreaming bigger meant we weren’t trusting God. That planning meant control. That desire meant ego.In this episode, I’m breaking that belief wide open.I share my own story of wrestling with vision, disappointment, and the fear of hoping again, and how avoiding vision kept me stuck longer than any failure ever did. We talk about why God uses desire as guidance, how scripture actually supports vision and action, and why clarity doesn’t pressure God, it prepares us to partner with Him.If you’ve ever felt afraid to dream again, unsure if you’re hearing God correctly, or hesitant to admit what you really want, this conversation will meet you right where you are and invite you to something more honest, grounded, and faith-led.☑️ Why guilt around wanting more is not humility, it’s conditioning☑️ How God uses desire as a lamp for your next step☑️ What “this or something better” really means when you trust HimIf this stirred something in you, subscribe and listen now.

What if your struggle to sell has nothing to do with strategy and everything to do with fear?Many ethical, capable women are not afraid of working hard. They are afraid of overpromising and underdelivering. That fear quietly shows up as perfectionism, underpricing, and hesitation to market offers they know can help people.In this episode, I break down the real mindset block behind sales resistance, especially for women who have been burned by a coach or program in the past. This is not about learning another sales tactic. It is about identifying what is actually putting the brakes on your execution, confidence, and income.We talk about the imbalance between creating an offer and selling it, why constantly “making your offer better” is often fear in disguise, and how to sell transformation without taking responsibility for other people’s results.☑️ Why fear of overpromising sabotages sales and marketing☑️ How perfectionism and underpricing quietly block growth☑️ The mindset shift that allows you to sell with confidence and integrityIf this episode resonates, subscribe and listen now so you can start releasing the block that has been holding you back.👉 Explore the Full Episode Page:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/afraid-to-sell-overpromiseEpisode Highlights:00:00 Introduction00:51 Identifying Business Blocks02:05 Mindset and Execution Challenges04:45 Overcoming Sales and Marketing Fears08:28 Balancing Product Quality and Marketing13:43 Pricing Your Products Appropriately18:06 Taking Responsibility and Empowering Clients21:06 Learning from Past Experiences28:53 Final Thoughts and Encouragement31:03 Closing Remarks and Call to ActionHOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU:📅 Book Your 5-Figure Month Strategy Callhttps://iam-lifebydesign.com🔥FREE Training - Flow State Money ResetLearn why your income feels inconsistent and how to shift into aligned, reliable momentum.https://iam-lifebydesign.com/flowmoney🎧 Listen to Full Episodes on your Favorite PlatformApple: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastappleSpotify: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastspotifyYouTube: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastyoutube❤️ Connect on IGhttps://instagram.com/lachellewieme Hosted on Acast.
