Why can't I stop shopping? If you shop to cope, to hold on, to undo a purchase, or to keep someone happy, this episode names the compulsive shopping pattern you may be living in and shows you how to get unstuck.Financial coach and financial therapist Carrie Rattle of Behavioral Cents joins transformational coach Shervon Laurice to break down three types of compulsive spending: the collector who hoards, the bulimic shopper who buys and returns, and the codependent shopper who spends to earn love. Carrie shares how she helps women build money confidence and money peace by changing money behaviors. Shervon shares how a transformational coach works with the nervous system and identity patterns underneath emotional spending.You'll learn why compulsive spending is a nervous system strategy and not a character flaw, how the buy, regret, return loop keeps repeating, a 60 second Sovereignty Shift you can use before your next purchase, and one simple action to interrupt the urge. Whether you struggle with shopping addiction, retail therapy, or people-pleasing spending, this conversation will help you shift your money mindset from shame to awareness.Pre-order Carrie's book To Buy or Not to Buy: Why We Over shop and How to Stop https://behavioralcents.com.CHAPTERS:0:00 Hook: Retail Therapy or Relapse?1:21 Meet Carrie Rattle: Plan A, Plan B, and the 82 Cents Wake-Up Call4:21 Why Compulsive Shopping Is a Survival Strategy, Not About the Stuff8:49 Type 1: The Collector Shopper and the Joy of the Hunt15:18 What Collecting Says About Self-Worth and the Scarcity Wound18:55 Type 2: The Bulimic Shopper (Buy, Return, Repeat)20:51 Shopping to Lift Your Mood: Depression, Menopause, and the Dopamine High22:41 The “Responsible Shopper” Story and the Hidden Hours of Returning25:39 Catch the Urge: Breath, Awareness, and Your Body’s Early Warning System29:26 Type 3: The Codependent Shopper (Gifting for Love and Affection)35:47 Which Type Is Most Common, and Why Stores Are Limiting Returns38:29 Shopping From Anxiety: Real Client Stories40:25 How to Slow Down: Unsubscribe, Phone Out of the Bedroom, and Five Easy Alternatives43:57 Catch It at the Urge: Your Body’s Thunderstorm Warning45:15 Where to Find Carrie and Her Book47:58 Closing______________________🔹 Work with Shervon ~Book an Alignment Call:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/alignmentcall-slDownload "Why Insight Isn’t Enough":https://elevatewithshervon.com/insightsThe Expansion Room Community → https://the-expansion-room.circle.so/c/start-here/Newsletter: Expansion Room Insights → https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-expansion-room-insights-7378408432644628480🔹 Connect with Shervon:Website → https://shervonlaurice.comInstagram → http://instagram.com/shervonlauriceLinkedIn → http://linkedin.com/in/shervonlaurice #compulsiveshopping#moneymindset #emotionalspending #financialtherapy #gettingunstuck #theexpansionroom#shervonlaurice#nervoussystemregulation#transformationalcoach#embodiedleadership#entrepreneurship#spiritualentrepreneur#soulpreneur#identityshift#mindset

Getting unstuck rarely starts with new information, it starts with excavation. In this episode of The Expansion Room, Shervon Laurice sits down with Kristen Crabtree, author of Be the You That's More You Than You've Ever Been, to unpack 52 years of forgetting who she was, including 22 years inside a psychologically abusive marriage, and how she rebuilt her identity one buried layer at a time.Kristen is the creator of Paramour Paradox, a self-recovery framework built from lived experience rather than theory, and the originator of "the live dig," a practice that uses ordinary objects, arranged almost artistically, to help someone reconnect with their true self faster than words alone ever could. This conversation explores identity recovery, midlife reinvention, nervous system alignment, and why Kristen believes transformation does not have to wait for someday.Shervon also breaks down the ELEVATE micro-tool "Decision Is a Frequency," showing how Kristen's idea of collapsing timelines through alignment mirrors the exact mechanism behind sustainable, embodied change.If you have spent decades being the steady, dependable one and quietly wondered where you went, this episode is your invitation to finally look.Ready to start your own inner excavation?

If AI can now do part of your job, does that mean you're becoming less valuable at work? Not necessarily. In this episode of The Expansion Room, we explore how AI at work is changing where your professional value comes from, and how to discover where it moved.Everywhere you turn, someone is telling you to learn another AI tool, take another course, or move faster. That advice isn't wrong, but it's incomplete. You can become very skilled at using AI and still feel stuck, unsure of what makes you valuable. In Part 2 of our AI in the Workplace series, I break down new research from PwC and Gallup on AI job anxiety and the future of work, including why so much of the change is happening inside existing jobs rather than through jobs disappearing.You'll learn three questions to ask about your role, why judgment, context, relationships, and accountability matter more than ever, and a simple two-column exercise to help you get unstuck and build a career strategy that goes deeper than chasing the next tool.If your identity has been wrapped up in being good at what you do, this conversation is for you. Your value may not have disappeared. It may have simply moved. It’s time you find out where it has moved to.CHAPTERS:00:00 Is AI making you less valuable at work?00:44 Why "learn another AI tool" is incomplete advice*02:25 What 50,000 workers revealed about AI at work03:34 Your job title stays, but the value inside it changes*04:09 Real-world example: when judgment matters most*05:34 Why frequent AI users worry more*07:25 Three questions to find where your value lives08:44 When AI touches your professional identity*09:25 Your value didn't disappear.

Unburdened leadership starts with releasing weight that was never yours to carry. In this episode of The Expansion Room, we explore why so many women leaders are running on empty, and what it actually takes to lead from a regulated, grounded place.We talk about the emotional and spiritual burden women accumulate over years of leading and serving others, why nervous system regulation, not willpower or strategy, is the real foundation for sustainable leadership, and what becomes possible when a woman reconnects with her healed, authentic voice. This is a conversation about getting unstuck from the identity of the overextended leader and returning to leadership from a grounded place, not a depleted one.Get in touch with Tarinna Terrell:Email: [email protected]: tarinnaterrell.comIG: @tarinnaterrell CHAPTERS0:00 Introduction 1:08 Meet Tarinna Terrell and The Soul Collective2:00 Tarinna's Origin Story in Service and Faith5:24 The Culture of Overworking in Women6:23 The Wounded Healer and Learning to Reconcile Rest9:47 The Body Speaks First, Getting Unstuck Begins10:35 The Question That Silenced a Room, 30 Years of Putting Herself Last12:05 Soul Tired, The High Achiever's Hidden Exhaustion13:48 Hustle Culture and the Pandemic Pause16:04 Feeling Lighter, Recognizing the Weight of Constant Motion23:52 Getting Regulated and Redefining Identity24:55 Unpacking the Soft Life and Where We Store Tension26:18 The Eye Twitch, When the Body Signals Dysregulation28:06 Environment, Relationships, and Physical Symptoms34:54 What Is the Unburdened Lab?37:53 Community Healing and the Butterfly Metaphor39:07 The Gut Brain Connection and Somatic Healing40:37 Making Room for Play and Joy41:44 Leading Without Losing Yourself45:02 Naming the Weight, Closing Reflections45:47 Where to Find Tarinna Terrell46:52 Outro ______________________🔹 Work with Shervon ~Book an Alignment Call:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/alignmentcall-slDownload "Why Insight Isn’t Enough":https://elevatewithshervon.com/insightsThe Expansion Room Community → https://the-expansion-room.circle.so/c/start-here/Newsletter: Expansion Room Insights → https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-expansion-room-insights-7378408432644628480🔹 Connect with Shervon:Website → https://shervonlaurice.comInstagram → http://instagram.com/shervonlauriceLinkedIn → http://linkedin.com/in/shervonlaurice #GettingUnstuck #UnburdenedLeadership #WomenWhoLead #NervousSystemRegulation #AuthenticVoice #SpiritualLeadership #RestorativeLeadership #SoulCollective #BurnoutToBalance #GroundedLeadership #SovereignLeadership #TheExpansionRoom
