Minding Mine with Evelyn LeVasseur

In this episode of the Minding Mine podcast, I'm getting real about one of the most important things I'm doing as a mom - teaching my daughters to deeply trust themselves. While I'm still doing my own inner work and unlearning old patterns, I'm intentional about giving my girls the foundation I wish I'd had. Here are the five things I practice at home: 1. I let them disagree with me. I don't pull the "because I said so" card. Instead, I create space for respectful dialogue, genuinely listen to my daughters' perspectives, and celebrate them for speaking their truth — even when it's hard. 2. I ask questions instead of giving advice. When something happens at school or with a friend, I resist the urge to jump in and fix it. I validate, get curious, and guide my girls back to their own instincts — because I want the voice in their head to be theirs, not mine. 3. I apologize when I'm wrong. I'm human — sometimes I'm distracted, snappy, or checked out. When that happens, I own it, repair it, and move forward. I'm modeling that accountability and love can exist in the same breath. 4. I don't judge my body — or anyone else's. After years of dieting and shrinking myself, I'm intentional about never talking negatively about bodies in front of my girls. I talk about movement for strength, health, and stress relief — not for how it makes me look. 5. I let them watch me choose myself. My daughters see me record podcast episodes, lead groups, and take the stage — nervous and doing it anyway. That's the real lesson: trust isn't the absence of fear. It's moving forward even when your knees are knocking. Bonus tip: Don't underestimate the car ride conversation. Some of the best, most open moments happen in those 10–15 minutes after school. If this episode resonated with you, leave a comment, rate, and review the podcast. And as always — go live your life on your terms.     Follow Evelyn: Facebook: Evelyn LeVasseur Instagram: @itsevelynlevasseur YouTube: Minding Mine   Free Guide: What Your Exhaustion Is Really Trying To Tell You Apply To Work With Me: Here

In this episode of Minding Mine, I sit down with coach, speaker, and author Stacy Rocklein, and we have an honest, layered conversation about forgiveness, loneliness, and emotional intimacy. We talk about the kind of loneliness that exists even inside good marriages. The kind that shows up in a room full of people. The kind that doesn’t go away just because you “have everything.” Stacy shares how her journey into forgiveness began when she realized she wasn’t actually forgiving — she was bypassing. Skipping over pain. Avoiding vulnerability. Holding it together. And how that created invisible distance in her closest relationships. We explore: What forgiveness really means (and why it doesn’t require an apology) The defense mechanisms we don’t realize we’re using How loneliness can exist inside healthy relationships Why self-forgiveness is the foundation for emotional intimacy The burden (and power) of teaching someone how to show up for you Why boundaries and forgiveness must work together How our relationship with ourselves shapes every relationship we have The generational shift happening in parenting and partnership What to do when you don’t get the apology you hoped for Why vulnerability is the antidote to loneliness We also talk about marriage — the difference between love as a feeling and love as a daily choice. And I share how releasing the belief that my marriage defined me changed everything. This conversation is deep, reflective, and honest. If you’ve ever felt unseen, emotionally disconnected, or stuck waiting for someone else to change first — this episode is for you. Stacy’s book, Forgive Without an Apology, expands on her forgiveness framework and her 21 Day Heart Cleanse.

Motherhood will expose you. Because it activates everything you haven’t healed. In this episode of Minding Mine, I sit down with licensed clinical social worker and parenting coach Amy Haydak, and we talk about what it really means to break generational cycles — while you’re still in the middle of raising your kids. Not after therapy. Not once you’ve “figured it out.” Right now.  We talk about emotional regulation. The real-life version. The grocery store meltdown version. The snapping over dishes version. The “why am I this angry?” version. Most of us weren’t taught how to feel. We were taught to behave. So now we’re raising children who feel out loud… and it’s confronting. In this conversation, we unpack: Why you don’t even realize you’re activated half the time What emotional regulation actually feels like in your body The difference between authority and leadership How subtle trauma shapes your reactions Why your child isn’t being “defiant” — they’re dysregulated What repair looks like when you mess up How to reparent yourself while raising your kids We also talk about guilt — because once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it. But awareness is power. You don’t need to be a perfect mother, you need to be an intentional one. Cycle breaking isn’t about getting things right every time. It’s about raising kids who feel safe — not kids who fear disappointing you. If you’re tired of snapping and spiraling… If you want connection instead of control… If you feel like you’re healing and parenting at the same time… This episode is for you.

Are you constantly busy, but still feeling unfulfilled? In this episode of Minding Mine, I sit down with burnout and wellness coach Stephanie Carter to unpack the truth about overwhelm, exhaustion, and why so many women over 40 feel disconnected from themselves. We explored: Why burnout has become a “badge of honor” for women The hidden cost of constant productivity How to stop living on autopilot Why intention—not busyness—creates fulfillment The power of journaling and self-reflection How to identify what actually brings you joy Setting boundaries without guilt Letting go of obligations that no longer serve you Reclaiming your time after seasons of overwork Why pouring into yourself first makes you a better partner, mother, and leader Stephanie shares how the stillness of COVID revealed just how burned out she had become—and how that awakening reshaped her career, priorities, and mission to help other women do the same. This episode is for the woman who: Feels too busy to take care of herself Struggles to answer, “What do I actually want?” Puts herself last and calls it love Knows she wants more peace, joy, and ease—but doesn’t know where to start You’ll walk away with practical tools for reflection, boundary-setting, and creating small, intentional shifts that change everything. Because burnout isn’t a requirement. And you don’t have to earn your worth through exhaustion.

What if the life you’re praying for is waiting on you to move first? In this deeply honest and electric conversation, I sit down with transformational speaker, author, and founder of Redefining Wealth, Patrice Washington. We explore the intersection of faith and action, purpose and performance, conviction and sovereignty. Patrice shares how she built her life through belief and aligned action — from losing a seven-figure business to rebuilding with clarity and calling. We talk about why chasing purpose is not a luxury, how faith becomes a crutch when we refuse to move, and what it truly means to “give God something to bless.” This episode is for the woman who: Knows there is more for her but feels stuck in obligation Believes in God but struggles to trust herself Is tired of outsourcing her power Feels intimidated by her own bigness Wants to break generational patterns and lead differently Inside this conversation, we explore: The difference between belief and the performance of belief Why purpose isn’t optional — it’s your design How intimidation often mirrors unclaimed potential Why “lucky” is an insult Goals vs. vision (and why confusing them keeps you stuck) Faith + aligned action as co-creation Breaking generational trauma through intentional living Letting go of obligation and choosing sovereignty This is about becoming the woman who can hold the vision — not just reach it. Because you weren’t placed here accidentally. You were created on purpose, for purpose. And the only real loss is betraying yourself. If this conversation moves you, share it with someone who needs permission to stop waiting — and start moving.

In this episode of Minding Mine, I sat down with Tay Daniels, founder of Breadwinner Energy and leader of a new wave of wealthy healers. Tay’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary: eight years ago, she had $100, wrecked credit, no degree, and was hiding from an abusive relationship. Today, she runs a seven-figure global brand, coaching spiritual entrepreneurs and healers to stop running hobby businesses and step into their power. Together, we were able to dive deep into: How a single decision to leave an abusive relationship sparked a journey of self-trust and freedom The risks and rewards of starting a business with no safety net Building identity, confidence, and the “Breadwinner Energy” mindset Breaking generational patterns and cultivating authentic, soul-led leadership How motherhood shaped Tay’s perspective on legacy, self-care, and empowerment The power of choosing yourself, even when family or societal expectations resist Practical steps for women to build financial independence and create generational impact Whether you’re seeking inspiration, guidance on stepping into your own power, or tools to align your business and life with your soul, this episode will challenge and uplift you. Tay’s story is a masterclass in courage, resilience, and embodiment.

In this episode of Minding Mine, I sit down with love and relationship coach Leah Mitchell for a deeply honest conversation about trauma, shame, safety, and the invisible patterns so many women carry into their relationships. Leah opens up about the accident that changed her life at seventeen, the secondary trauma that followed, and how years of trying to earn love shaped her dating choices, her self-worth, and her nervous system. We talk about the ways childhood conditioning shows up in adulthood, why shame becomes a survival response, and how experiences we are never taught to process can turn into patterns we don’t even recognize as our own. Leah also shares the turning point in her healing journey—how neuroscience, emotional regulation, and kinetic divination helped her reconnect to her own body, break destructive cycles, and finally feel safe enough to pursue healthy love. We explore how trauma impacts dating, why women often feel they must “earn” affection, how cortisol and stress affect romantic compatibility, and what it looks like to build relationships rooted in honesty, vulnerability, and mutual respect. This conversation is full of raw truths, powerful reframes, and reminders that loving yourself well is the foundation for calling in the love you truly desire. Whether you’re single, dating, or partnered, Leah’s insights will help you understand yourself more deeply—and begin healing the patterns that have kept you feeling stuck, small, or at war with your own heart. In this episode, we talk about: • The accident that reshaped Leah’s identity, patterns, and sense of safety • Why “secondary trauma” from loved ones can feel more painful than the trauma itself • How shame becomes a subconscious survival strategy • Using neuroscience and somatic tools to rewire relationship patterns • Why many women feel they need to “earn” love • How cortisol impacts compatibility, chemistry, and connection • What safe, emotionally available love actually feels like • How our healing impacts the next generation • The legacy we leave when our children watch us be loved—and love ourselves Connect with Leah Podcast: The Goddess of Love Free Course: The Dating Strategy Socials: https://www.instagram.com/goddessofloveofficial https://www.facebook.com/leah.mitchell.3914/  Connect with Evelyn:  Facebook: Evelyn LeVasseur Instagram: @itsevelynlevasseur YouTube: Minding Mine   Free Guide: What Your Exhaustion Is Really Trying To Tell You Apply To Work With Me: Here

I sat down with board-certified plastic surgeon, scuba diver, race-car driver, and host of The Soulful Surgeon Podcast, Dr. Lisa Hunsicker. Together we explored the real cost of perfection, the emotional weight women carry, the humanity inside healthcare, and the courage it takes to finally—finally—receive. Dr. Lisa opens up about: • How a childhood trauma with water became a lifelong love of diving • What drew her to plastic surgery and the sacred work of restoring women after cancer and childbirth • Why women struggle so deeply to receive care, time, support, or compassion • The invisible emotional burden doctors carry inside a broken medical system • How fear, burnout, and perfectionism quietly shape healthcare • Her own mental health crisis—and what it taught her about choosing herself • Why she refuses to set herself on fire to keep others warm • The importance of boundaries, presence, and self-leadership • Her mission to bring humanity back into medicine This episode is a healing for anyone who has ever felt like they had to hold the world together, perform perfectly, or disappear behind the needs of everyone else. Key topics:  Why perfectionism is rewarded—and why it’s killing us The emotional disconnection women develop from their own needs The pressure on mothers to be everything to everyone The reality of medical burnout and emotional residue Boundaries that protect your humanity How to listen to your body and soul instead of outside expectations What true receiving looks like Creating a practice and life that honors who you really are Connect with Dr Lisa: The Soulful Surgeon Podcast – https://www.soulfulsurgeon.com Dr. Lisa Hunsicker on Instagram: @soulfulsurgeon web: www.soulfulsurgeon.com Her upcoming book: The Strength to Lay It Down Follow Evelyn: Facebook: Evelyn LeVasseur Instagram: @itsevelynlevasseur YouTube: Minding Mine   Free Guide: What Your Exhaustion Is Really Trying To Tell You Apply To Work With Me: Here

In this episode of Minding Mine, I sat with healer, author, and former university law lecturer Gulara Vincent for a transformative conversation about healing, identity, and the stories that shape us long before we take our first breath. Gulara explains the science behind how our DNA can hold up to seven generations of emotional experiences — fear, trauma, resilience, strength — and how these inherited imprints influence the way we see ourselves, interact with others, and move through the world. Together, we explore the deep roots of generational patterns, the power of conscious healing, and the freedom that emerges when we choose a different way forward. In this episode: How family histories of war, loss, and migration can echo through multiple generations. What distinguishes a cycle breaker from someone who unconsciously repeats family patterns. Why personal healing often becomes a quiet revolution inside your home and your relationships. How healing is less about fixing and more about coming home to the parts of yourself you once hid or rejected. The hidden reasons behind self-sabotage and why these patterns often form to protect us. The powerful imprints created in the womb and how early experiences shape feelings of worthiness or belonging. How unresolved ancestral patterns can affect money, relationships, identity, and self-trust. The importance of emotional release and learning to feel deeply without judgment. How healing yourself creates ripple effects for your children, your lineage, and the people you touch.

In this episode, I sit down with marriage coach Michelle Purta for an honest, layered conversation about what it really takes to build a healthy relationship. So many of us grew up believing that love was something you feel... that if you just found “the one,” everything else would fall into place. But as Michelle shares, lasting love isn’t luck or magic. It’s built on emotional maturity, communication, and the willingness to take accountability for our own part in the relationship. We explore what it means to be the “common denominator” in your relationship patterns and how to move from blame and resentment toward self-reflection and change. Michelle also breaks down the myth that happiness in marriage means being happy all the time and explains why learning to know—and love—yourself is the foundation for intimacy, connection, and better communication. Together, we talk about: Why healthy marriages aren’t just for the lucky ones The difference between taking accountability and blaming yourself How to show up as the partner you want to be (without losing yourself) Why fear of the unknown keeps so many women stuck in unfulfilling relationships How honesty with yourself creates emotional and physical intimacy The power of sharing your self-discovery journey with your partner Practical ways to rebuild connection, communication, and desire This episode is a reminder that love is not a feeling you chase—it’s a daily choice, a practice, and a reflection of how deeply you know and honor yourself. If you’ve ever wondered why your marriage feels disconnected, or how to bring back emotional and physical closeness, this conversation will give you a compassionate, realistic roadmap for what’s possible when you start with you.

In this episode of Minding Mine,I sit down with writer, speaker, and sober mom Ashley Jo for an honest and deeply moving conversation about loss, addiction, and the long road to self-forgiveness. After losing her infant son to spinal muscular atrophy, Ashley Jo’s life spiraled into survival mode, self-blame, and eventually addiction. But through faith, recovery, and radical self-compassion, she rebuilt her life with fierce intention—and learned to love herself again. Together, Evelyn and Ashley explore: The devastating pain of child loss and the identity crisis that follows How addiction can become a form of self-protection from unprocessed grief The difference between believing in God and believing God’s truth about who we are Finding purpose in your pain and transforming your story into healing for others The role of chiropractic care, nervous system healing, and holistic wellness in recovery Learning to trust yourself again—and forgiving yourself as a mother, woman, and human Connect with Ashley Jo:  https://www.thisisashleyjo.com/ Connect with Evelyn: Facebook: Evelyn LeVasseur Instagram: @itsevelynlevasseur YouTube: Minding Mine   Free Guide: What Your Exhaustion Is Really Trying To Tell You Apply To Work With Me: Here

For years, I believed that fitness and nutrition were the keys to confidence. As a fitness coach, I built meal plans, designed workout programs, and watched women transform their bodies. But here’s the truth I didn’t see right away: I wasn’t helping women build confidence—I was making them dependent. In this episode of Minding Mine, I share my journey from fitness coaching to identity coaching, and why chasing external validation through diet and exercise never leads to lasting transformation. I open up about my own struggles with dieting, bingeing, and body image, and the pivotal moment as a mother that changed everything. We’ll explore: ✨ How diet culture creates dependence instead of confidence ✨ The generational messages women receive about their worth and bodies ✨ Why true transformation begins inside—with self-acceptance and alignment ✨ How healing yourself impacts the next generation ✨ What it really means to reclaim confidence and create sustainable health If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of dieting, chasing perfection, or looking for validation outside yourself, this conversation will resonate deeply.

In this personal and honest episode of Minding Mind, Evelyn dives into a topic we often overlook: the difference between physical safety and emotional safety—and how a lack of the latter shapes our relationships, our self-trust, and our legacy. Many of us grew up in homes where the bills were paid, the doors were locked, and our needs were met… but we still didn’t feel safe being our full selves. Evelyn explores how emotional safety gets compromised, the subtle ways it shows up in adulthood, and why reclaiming it is foundational to healing, wholeness, and generational change. This isn’t just about personal growth—it’s about breaking cycles and building something better for ourselves and the generations after us. In This Episode: What physical safety is (and how your nervous system protects you) Why emotional safety is harder to recognize—but just as crucial Signs you’re navigating emotional unsafety (even if you don’t realize it) How people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and overfunctioning are rooted in emotional neglect The role emotional safety plays in self-trust, boundaries, intimacy, and leadership Why creating emotionally safe spaces—especially for your children—is legacy work Key Quote: “We are healing from things we were never allowed to admit actually hurt us.

This birthday episode is a personal declaration — and an invitation for every woman ready to stop shrinking and start living in alignment. This episode is raw, reflective, and a little rebellious. In celebration of my birthday, I’m sharing 5 powerful things I’ve decided I will never do again — and why each one is a line in the sand for the woman I’m becoming. These aren’t just mindset shifts — they’re soul declarations. They’re about boundaries, breaking cycles, and choosing self-respect over self-sacrifice. We’ll talk about: Why I’ll never water myself down to be more “likable” How I’m honoring my yes and protecting my no The deep cost of staying in rooms where I’m only tolerated Why I refuse to keep being mean to myself — even in passing How legacy shifts when we stop doing things just because that’s “how it’s always been” This is for the woman who feels the pull to rise. To lead herself. To stop betraying the version of her who is done pretending everything is fine. 🎉 Your birthday invitation: Make your own list. Draw your own line. And if you’re ready to come home to the woman underneath the performance… The Worthy Woman Experience is waiting. https://www.evelynlevasseur.com/worthy-woman  

In this episode, Rhonda reflects on her journey to understand what she truly wanted beyond just losing weight.

She shares the mindset shifts and tools she used (and now teaches others how to use) to release 62+ lbs and counting!

This week’s episode is a powerful and deeply important conversation about healing yourself so you can show up in your relationship from a place of wholeness. I sat down with David to explore how our unhealed wounds impact our partnerships and why self-healing is essential for building a thriving, connected relationship. We often think of marriage and long-term relationships as a balance of give and take — but can two unhealed people truly be good partners? It’s a question worth asking, and David brings incredible insight into the answer.
