“Not a Test: How to Rise Through Challenges, Reclaim Your Power, and Lead Yourself Forward”

In this episode, we’re dismantling one of the most common — and most disempowering — thoughts women carry when life gets hard:
“The universe is testing me… God is testing me.”

If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone.
But today, you’re going to learn the truth behind that thought, the neuroscience underneath your emotional response, and the identity shift that changes everything.

We’re diving deep into:
✨ Why “I’m being tested” is just a thought, not a fact
✨ How your brain defaults to fear, protection, and energy conservation
✨ How to step into the observer role and reclaim your power
✨ The difference between a test and a challenge
✨ How challenges invite expansion, skill-building, and self-leadership
✨ The Law of Rhythm and why every life has natural ebbs and flows
✨ What your prefrontal cortex knows that your fear-based brain doesn’t
✨ How to choose thoughts that move you forward instead of shutting you down

You’ll also hear a deeply personal story from my own life — a challenge that reshaped my identity, my priorities, and ultimately my purpose. I share the moment that shifted everything for me: being diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer in 2016, the night I drew a line in the sand, and how choosing to meet that challenge with intention changed the entire trajectory of my life.

We talk about:
✨ The mindset that carried me through chemo
✨ How one decision — cold capping — became a movement that helped hundreds of women
✨ The sacred value of time and why it pushed me to reevaluate everything
✨ The identity shift that led me into coaching, personal development, and manifestation
✨ Why you don’t need a life-altering event to wake up to your own potential

This episode is a powerful reminder that your challenges are not punishments — they’re portals. And who you choose to be inside them determines the life you create on the other side.

We end with a coaching segment gives you a clean, direct framework to lead yourself through any challenge without spinning in drama, confusion, or self-doubt. You’ll walk away with the exact questions, thoughts, and internal leadership tools to elevate your identity and expand your capacity.

And then — a direct invitation.
