What if the beliefs running your life aren’t even yours? What if they were programmed into you before you could even name them?

In this raw and vulnerable first episode, I’m taking you back to where it all started: childhood. The little girl in New Mexico who learned that safety meant being perfect, that emotions were dangerous, and that wealth was something only men could create.

I’m sharing the patterns that shaped everything from my eating disorder to my million-dollar business collapse, and the moment I realized I could rewrite the rules I’d been living by for decades.

This isn’t about blame. This isn’t about making anyone the villain. It’s about understanding how generational trauma becomes generational wealth when you’re willing to do the work.

You’ll hear about:

• Why perfectionism and people-pleasing became my survival strategy
• The money story that kept me playing small for years
• How childhood programming shows up in adult relationships and business
• The one question that changed everything: “What if I could do this?”
• Why breaking patterns is the greatest gift you can give the next generation

Whether your childhood trauma looks like mine or completely different, this episode will help you start questioning the beliefs that have been running in the background of your life.

Because your mess? It’s not your ending. It might just be your beginning.

Grab your coffee, maybe some tissues, and let’s get real about where transformation actually starts.
