In our Season One finale, we look back on five months, nineteen episodes, and a whole lot of unlearning. From letting go of perfectionism to finding our rhythm as co‑hosts, this season stretched us, grounded us, and reminded us why these conversations matter.

We talk about what surprised us, what challenged us, and what changed us, including the moments that felt like therapy, the guests who held up a mirror, and the stories that stayed with us long after we hit “stop.” We also share the behind‑the‑scenes growth you didn’t hear: trusting our voices, releasing control, embracing collaboration, and learning to be in the being instead of the constant doing.

And because we practice what we preach, we’re taking a pause, a power‑in‑the‑pause moment, before we return with Season Two. When we’re back, we’re kicking things off with a focused series on career: identity, growth, alignment, and the messy middle of figuring out what’s next.

If you have topics you want us to explore or guests you’d love to hear from, send us a message on Instagram or Facebook at @unlearninginprogress.

Season One was just the beginning. Season Two is going to be something special.

What happens when the very traits that helped you succeed start to work against you?

In this episode of Unlearning in Progress, Julie Santiago, former Wall Street executive turned founder of We Are the Women, explores the tension between doing and being, and why so many high-achieving women feel exhausted, unfulfilled, and out of alignment, even when things look successful on the outside.

Julie helps us to unpack a nuanced and frequently misunderstood topic: masculine and feminine leadership. Drawing from her own experience in high-performance corporate environments, Julie shares how many women learn to succeed by overdeveloping “doing” energy focused on output, control, and performance while suppressing equally important qualities like intuition, presence, and connection.

This conversation is an invitation to reconnect with who you are beneath the achievement and to explore what becomes possible when you stop leading the way you were taught, and start leading as the woman you actually are.

In this episode of Unlearning in Progress, Angela and Jaime sit down with transformational coach and guide Karen Brar for a conversation about the connection between the mind, the body, and the stories we carry through life.

Together, they explore why so many of us live disconnected from ourselves, constantly operating from overthinking, achievement, survival mode, and the “thought train” of the mind. Karen shares how ancient teachings rooted in the Vedic tradition can help us better understand our nervous systems, our emotional patterns, and the whispers our bodies often give us long before burnout, anxiety, or disconnection fully take hold.

The conversation dives into nervous system regulation, subconscious beliefs, corporate conditioning, self-worth, and the practice of returning to yourself in a world that constantly pulls your attention elsewhere.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt exhausted by their own thoughts, disconnected from their body, or quietly wondered: Why does life feel this hard when I’m doing everything “right”?
