Heart Notes with Piper Cabebe

Taking responsibility for your life doesn't mean taking the blame for everything that's happened to you.People can hurt us. Betray us. Teach us things about ourselves that aren't true. We can experience things we never chose and absolutely did not cause.But what happens when we keep handing someone else the power over what happens next?And we don't only do this with the big things.Sometimes we outsource our authority by looking for someone else to tell us what to do, assuming the expert knows what's right for us, or taking responsibility for everyone else's feelings, reactions and choices while barely considering our own.In this episode of Heart Notes, we're talking about the difference between responsibility and blame, why handing someone else the decision can sometimes feel safer, and how to use other people's knowledge, expertise and support without handing over your own authority.Because someone can know more than you about something without knowing more than you about you.So what's actually yours to own? And what was never yours to in the first place?And if you enjoy these conversations, make sure you follow Heart Notes wherever you listen so you don't miss the next one.

What do you want now?Simple question. Not always such a simple answer.Especially when you’ve spent years building a life, taking care of what needs to be taken care of, considering everyone else, and getting really damn good at knowing what everyone around you needs.But what about you?In this episode of Heart Notes, we’re talking about what happens when the life you built may still be good, but you’ve changed.What you wanted 10 or 20 years ago may not be what you want now. And that doesn’t mean you made the wrong choices or need to blow up your life.We’ll talk about why it can be so hard to separate what you actually want from what you’ve learned you should want, who you think you need to be, and everything you feel responsible for.And I’m giving you a simple exercise to help you start figuring it out, plus one thing I want you to actually do with what you discover.Because you don’t have to figure out the rest of your life today.You can start by asking yourself:What do I want now?💕 Join me for What Do You Want Now?I’m taking this conversation deeper in a free 3-day live experience where we’ll explore who you are now, what you actually want, and some of the beliefs, patterns and expectations that can make those questions so damn hard to answer.October 13-15, 2026Replays will be available, so come join us even if you can’t make every session live.Learn more about it here 👉 https://pipercabebe.com/what-do-you-want-nowAnd if you enjoy these conversations, make sure you follow Heart Notes wherever you listen so you don't miss the next one.

How often do you already know what you want, what isn't working, or what needs to change, and then immediately start questioning the crap out of it?For my 51st birthday, I shared 51 things I've come to know to be true, and the very first one was: You usually know more than you think you do.In this episode of Heart Notes, I'm talking about what happens between that first knowing and all the second-guessing that comes after it. The researching, asking everyone else, looking for another expert or another answer, and trying to find enough certainty to finally trust yourself.Because there's a difference between gathering information that helps you make a decision and gathering information because you don't trust yourself to make one.We talk about self-trust, the ways we learn to override our own wants and preferences, why other people's insight can be valuable without becoming our authority, and what it looks like to start taking your own voice seriously again.The next time you find yourself looking outside yourself for an answer, pay attention to what happened first.What did you know before you started questioning yourself?You don't have to always be right or know the whole answer. But your own voice deserves to be part of the conversation.And if you enjoy these conversations, make sure you follow Heart Notes with Piper wherever you listen so you don't miss the next one.

How many plates are you juggling right now?And maybe the bigger question, how many of them do you actually need to keep carrying?In this episode, we’re talking about the responsibilities, expectations and old patterns that keep us doing, carrying and managing everything and why putting some of it down can feel surprisingly uncomfortable.We’ll also talk about the idea that rest, balance and self-care are supposed to look a certain way. Because maybe peace for you isn’t sitting still. Maybe it’s gardening, creating, moving your body or being completely immersed in something you love.There isn’t one right way to do this life.Maybe it’s less about finding perfect balance and more about finding your own harmony. What fills you up, what you’re ready to put down, and what actually works for you.

Some days aren't for doing. They're for sitting with what's actually there.In this episode I talk about the grief that shows up even inside a life you're grateful for. Why peace can feel unfamiliar, even unsafe, if you grew up proving your worth or living in chaos. It's hard.But underneath the exhaustion is a bigger question. What if there's a version of you that existed before all the layers, before the world told you who to be? What if you could get curious about her again?This one meets you in the tired place, then asks you to wonder. It's time.If this is stirring something up in you, Into Your Heart is a great free starting point.

If you've been feeling unsettled lately and you can't quite name why, this one's for you. Maybe your kids are growing, your career shifted, or you just don't recognize the person you've been for the last however many years. I talk about why that discomfort isn't a sign something's wrong with you, it's a sign you've outgrown a version of yourself you built to survive. I walk through how I take stock of my own life without guilt or shame, and how questioning old beliefs (even the ones that came from family, not from you) can shift everything that comes after.

Have you ever caught yourself rushing through every task you're doing trying to finish? Brushing your teeth as fast as you can or washing the dishes but you never even noticed how hot the water was because you were some place else?In this episode I talk about the three things I've built my life around. Peace, power and presence. Not as concepts that would be nice to have but as something I always come back to on purpose when life goes sideways. I share what peace actually looks like when life is anything but calm, why real power is quiet and how I catch myself when I'm missing my own life, the bubbles, the clouds, the crunch of the gravel under my feet, when I'm living somewhere other than right here.Then I walk you through a guided meditation to bring you back to your own peace, power and presence.

Wildfires across the Pacific Northwest have us covered in smoke right now. Watching the evacuation warnings this week got me thinking about how fear runs your body the same way whether it's a wildfire on the ridge or just a regular Tuesday. Today I'm talking about where that fear comes from, why so many of us learned love had to be earned instead of given, and what happens when you ask yourself one question: if you had thirty minutes to grab what actually matters, what would it be?Connect with Piper: pipercabebe.com/links

I was watching some bunnies play this morning. Silly, skittish, completely in the moment. It got me thinking about something I’ve been circling for a while.Why can’t we just be here, the way they are? Instead we’re replaying old scenarios, measuring ourselves against some invisible “there,” and calling it living.This episode is part personal story, part reframe on what hypnotherapy actually does (no, you won’t quack like a duck), and part a meditation to reconnect you with a strength that’s been yours all along. You don’t have to go find it. You just have to remember it’s already there.Grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and come be present with me for a minute.If you liked this one, come find me at pipercabebe.com/links, more episodes and ways to dive in together are all there.

When's the last time you laughed so hard you couldn't breathe? Not the reflex "lol" you fire back at a text. The real one.This episode isn't about waiting until you've built the perfect life, hit the goal, or done enough healing to finally deserve to enjoy it. It's about the peace, the presence, and the joy you can let yourself have right now, in the life you're already living. Including the mom story that changed how I think about waiting too long.If this stirs something up, I walk through exactly this kind of pattern in my free Into Your Heart kit, a personalized Human Design report, a masterclass on the enoughness wound, and a mini HeartHealing session to actually start shifting it. Grab it free at pipercabebe.com/into-your-heart.The keys are in you. I'll see you next time.

I was watching a period piece and had to pause it because of one line. Happiness isn't something you're given permission for, it's something you already carry. Some of us were taught we're not enough. Some of us were taught we're too much. It's the same wound either way. This week: the flaw they convinced you of was never a flaw. Time to stop asking if you're enough and start living like you already know the answer.

She used to think sixty-hour weeks were just the price of being successful and responsible. Two and a half years later, she's thriving, at peace, and living a life she actually enjoys, and she says none of it came from trying harder.This week I'm telling you what changed for her, and the one belief so many of us are still quietly carrying without ever questioning it: that if something isn't hard, it doesn't count.Freedom might not be waiting at the end of enough sacrifice. It might already be sitting on the other side of one decision you've been avoiding.

You've made the list. You've done the research. You've asked everyone you know what they'd do. And somehow after all of that, you're more confused than when you started.Here's what nobody's telling you. That's not a decision-making problem. That's a self-trust problem.In this episode we're talking about how self-trust actually breaks, why it's almost never overnight, and why the pros and cons list isn't wisdom. It's fear with a clipboard.We're also getting into the quieter betrayals, the ones so common we don't even call them that, how being praised for being responsible can quietly teach you not to trust yourself, and what it actually looks like when you start coming back to yourself.Plus a little Human Design for the curious ones. Because understanding how you're specifically wired to make decisions? It changes everything.If you've ever felt like everyone else got the manual and you didn't, this one's for you.Want to know your Human Design authority so you can start learning how you're built to make decisions?

A few weeks ago I was flying high. The podcast was new, feedback was coming in, and I was just beaming.And then one conversation completely rocked my belief in what I was building.The person meant well. They really did. And that's kind of the whole point.Because some of the things that have held us back the longest didn't come from people who wanted to hurt us. They came from people giving to us from their own fears, their own wounds, their own ideas about what's safe and what's possible.In this episode I'm talking about the patterns that show up right on schedule every time you get close to something that matters, why understanding something in your head doesn't always shift it in your body, and what's actually different when you do the deeper work.You're not broken. You're getting your PhD.Listen now and find all the links mentioned at pipercabebe.com/links

This one’s really about learning to see yourself through curiosity instead of through a fix it lens, and for me, the thing that cracked that wide open was Human Design.I’ve been obsessed with personality tests for almost twenty years, Myers-Briggs, StrengthsFinder, you name it. But HD did something none of the others did. You don’t answer a single question, it’s just your birth data.We get into what shadow actually is, the thing I beat myself up about for two years, and why curiosity beats fix it mode every single time.Come get curious about who you actually are.

Have you ever wanted to change something, or felt called toward something new, even though nothing was broken? Even though life was actually good?Maybe it felt like a coat that used to fit you perfectly, and now it just doesn't sit right anymore. Still a good coat. Still yours. It just isn't you in the same way it used to be.This episode is about that feeling, and the dance that comes with it. That back and forth between the new that doesn't quite fit yet and the old that doesn't quite fit anymore either. The messy middle where your mind starts spinning stories about what the discomfort means and whether you're making a mistake.I share something personal in this episode about stepping away from the massage therapy practice I built and loved for over twenty years, and letting it evolve into something new. And the words a nurse named Rachel said to me at my mother's passing that I have carried with me ever since.Because here's what I want you to know: the grief is not a stop sign. You can feel excitement and grief at the same time. And the dance between the old and the new is not evidence that you haven't healed enough or grown enough or done enough work.It's evidence that you're human. And that something real is happening.Before you step back into your day, I'll leave you with three questions to carry with you the next time you find yourself in the dance.

Have you ever left something, or wanted to, even though it wasn't broken? Even though it was good?This episode is about the dance.

You didn't wake up thinking you weren't enough. Nobody does. But somewhere underneath everything you're doing, everything you're managing, everything you're holding together, it's been running quietly in the background.It shows up in the way you talk to yourself when nobody's listening. In the self-care you keep putting off. In the relationships where you give everything trying to get someone to finally see your value. In the work you're holding back on in ways you can't quite explain.That's not a character flaw. That's not just who you are. That's a belief that was passed on to you.In this episode we talk about the sneaky ways not feeling enough shows up in your life and I walk you through a guided reset to help you stop the spiral when that belief starts running loud.Get your Stop the Spiral audio mentioned in the episode anytime at pipercabebe.com/stop-the-spiral

You show up. You're at every dinner, every game, every moment that's supposed to matter. And somehow, even surrounded by everyone you love, you're completely somewhere else.This episode is for the woman who looks like she's doing great from the outside and is exhausted in a way she can't quite explain on the inside. The one who holds it all together so well that nobody, maybe not even her, realizes how long she's been gone.We talk about why this happens, what it actually costs her, and what begins to shift when she stops managing her life from her head and starts coming back to her heart.If you recognized yourself in this one, I made something for you.Into Your Heart is a free guided experience and the first step back to yourself.

So many women are carrying life almost entirely in their minds.Overthinking.Trying to figure everything out.Mentally carrying the future.Trying to make sure everyone is okay.In this episode, I’m talking about the pressure so many women quietly live under, the exhaustion of constantly mentally managing life, and the realization that peace does not come from finally figuring everything out.This is a conversation about slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and learning how to come back to the present moment instead of carrying the entire future in your mind all the time.♡ Piper

Welcome to the very first episode of Heart Notes.This podcast was born from years of healing, overthinking, emotional growth, survival mode, self-discovery, and ultimately… remembering who I truly am underneath all the noise.In this first episode, I’m sharing:​why HeartNotes was created​the emotional exhaustion so many women are carrying​what it means to live “out of your mind and into your heart”​the pressure of trying to hold everything together​the journey from survival mode into softness, self-trust, and emotional truthThis is a space for women who are tired of overthinking, overgiving, overfunctioning, and carrying life entirely in their minds.A space to exhale.A space to reconnect with yourself.A space to remember who you are underneath the pressure.I’m so grateful you’re here at the beginning.♡ Piper
