    Listening to Respond vs. Listening to Understand

    Most people think they're listening, but they're actually preparing their next response. In this episode, we're breaking down the difference between listening to respond and listening to understand, and why this one communication skill can transform your relationships, emotional intelligence, and ability to truly connect. You'll learn how your nervous system influences the way you listen, why curiosity creates deeper connection, and how staying present instead of preparing your next response changes the conversations that matter most.If you'd like to stay connected, join my email list at macierenae.com for new podcast episodes, free resources, program updates, upcoming freebies, and practical emotional intelligence insights delivered straight to your inbox.

    Change Requires Contact With Reality

    One of the most common reasons women stay stuck isn't a lack of awareness. It's a lack of contact with reality. It's easy to spend years imagining the life we want, analyzing our next steps, or living in possibility while avoiding what's actually happening right now. In this episode, we're talking about why change doesn't happen in the clouds. It happens on the ground - in the conversations, decisions, behaviors, and truths we're willing to face. Because real change requires contact with reality.Join my email list: https://www.macierenae.com/

    You've Changed. They Don't Like it. Now What?

    What happens when you start changing for the better, but the people around you don't like it?In this episode, we're diving into the often-overlooked side of personal growth: the resistance that can show up when you begin setting boundaries, raising your standards, speaking more honestly, or showing up differently in your relationships.Sometimes the version of you that is growing no longer fits the dynamics that once worked for everyone else.We'll explore why this happens, how to navigate it without abandoning yourself, and what it means to keep moving forward when your growth makes other people uncomfortable.Ready for support?Book a complimentary consultation:Book a Consult HereConnect with Macie:Podcast: This Is Not Your Practice Life®Website: https://www.macierenae.com/Remember: Not everyone will celebrate your growth.

    When "OVERWHELM" takes over YOUR LIFE.

    Overwhelm is one of the most common things I hear women say… but most people don’t actually understand what overwhelm is.In this episode, we’re talking about the psychology behind overwhelm and why it happens in the first place. Because overwhelm is rarely just “too much to do.” More often, it’s emotional overload, mental pressure, decision fatigue, nervous system dysregulation, avoidance, fear, unrealistic expectations, or the weight of trying to hold everything together for everyone else.We’ll dive into:• What overwhelm actually is psychologically• Why your brain feels it and it takes over.• The connection between overwhelm and emotional intelligence.If you’re feeling mentally exhausted, emotionally stretched thin, reactive, disconnected from yourself, or like your brain won’t slow down… this episode is for you.To learn more about coaching or book a consult, visit macierenae.com.

    Addressing The "Stories" We Tell Ourselves

    There are stories running in your mind right now that feel completely true.They’re not loud or obvious.They’re the ones that feel familiar… automatic… unquestioned. And they’re shaping everything - your decisions, your reactions, your results. In this episode, we slow that down. We look at the sentences you’re believing and start asking a better question:Is this actually true… or is it just well-practiced?Because once you see the story clearly, you get to decide if it still belongs. And that’s where things start to change.If willing, I'd love and so appreciate if you left a review of your experience as a podcast listener or as a client of mine!

    Working Through "'I'm NOT Good Enough'."

    At some point, almost every woman has thought“I’m not good enough.”But rarely do we stop and askGood enough for whatAnd according to whoIn this episode, we’re unpacking the hidden standard you may be measuring yourself against without even realizing it. The expectations, comparisons, and quiet definitions that shape how you see yourself and what you believe you’re capable of.This isn’t about forcing confidence or pretending you feel differently. It’s about getting honest about where that belief is coming from and redefining what “good enough” actually means to you.Because when you change the standard, everything shiftsIf you’re ready to work through this more deeply and start leading yourself from a different place, you can book a free 60 minute consultation herehttps://www.macierenae.com/

    The Self-Protective Mechanism of Being "All-In" vs. "Half In"

    There’s a version of you that wants more. Deeper relationships, bigger moves, fuller expression. But there’s also a quieter force at play. The part of your brain that keeps you “half in.”In this episode, we’re unpacking the self-protective mechanism that holds you back from going all in. How it shows up in your relationships, your career, and your growth, and why it can feel so convincing.You’ll learn how to recognize when you’re holding yourself at a safe distance and what it actually takes to fully show up for the life you say you want.If you’re ready to stop circling and start leading yourself forward, you can book a free 60 minute consultation herehttps://www.macierenae.com/

    You’re Not Avoiding The Hard… You’re Choosing Which Hard.

    You’re not avoiding the hard… you’re choosing which hard.In this episode, we’re talking about the reality that every path comes with discomfort. Staying where you are is hard. Changing your life is hard. And the truth is, you don’t get to avoid it, you only get to decide which version you’re willing to live with.I walk through real-life examples: from career shifts to relationships -- and what it actually takes to move toward the outcome you want (even when it feels uncertain). If you’ve been feeling stuck between comfort and change, this episode will help you see your choice more clearly and lead yourself through it.If you’re ready to go deeper, I’m hosting a free 2-day Self-Worth Masterclass.

    The Dial — How and Why We Lose Ourselves Unintentionally

    There isn’t usually a moment where you decide to lose yourself.It happens gradually. Subtly. Almost intelligently.You adjust. You accommodate. You turn the dial down on parts of yourself to make things work - relationships, expectations, responsibilities, comfort. Over time, what once felt like alignment starts to feel like distance.In this episode, we’re talking about the dial—how women slowly disconnect from themselves without realizing it, why it makes sense that it happens, and what it actually takes to turn it back up.Interested in The Immersion Collection?

    The Residual Effects of Toxic Relationships & Healing From It

Even after you leave, the emotional patterns, protective behaviors, and beliefs formed in that environment can quietly linger in your nervous system, your thinking, and the way you move through new relationships.In this episode, I’m talking about the residual impact toxic dynamics can leave behind and why healing often requires more than simply walking away.If this episode resonates with you, or someone you may love - send it to them.If you want to explore if coaching would be a good fit for you, NOW is the perfect time as enrollment is currently OPEN for The Immersion Collection.

    Using "Delusion" to Your Advantage for Success

    What if the very thing the world calls unrealistic is the reason some people build extraordinary lives?In this episode, I’m talking about the power of choosing possibility over practicality and why being a little “delusional” might actually be emotional intelligence at its highest level.

    Hey friends!For years I've been asked, "Why don't you put any of your content in video form or have it on Youtube?"

    Why Emotional Intelligence (Without THIS Skill) Has a Ceiling

    Emotional intelligence can take you far—but insight alone doesn’t always create change. In this episode, I explore the missing skill that determines whether emotional intelligence stays intellectual or becomes embodied. I break down why self-awareness and regulation eventually hit a ceiling without the ability to lead yourself through discomfort, decisions, and follow-through—and where this shows up in real life, from boundaries to consistency.If you’ve ever thought “I know better, so why am I still stuck?” this episode will help you understand why.Support the showVisit macierenae.com to learn more about Macie & her work!Interested in working with her?

    What We Don't Heal From, We Will Continue To Attract

    In this episode, I’m talking about the hard truth most of us don’t want to face: what we don’t heal from, we will keep attracting—again and again. When we’re frustrated with the results we’re getting, it’s not just life “happening to us.” It’s often our unhealed patterns quietly calling the shots.I’m breaking down how both our conscious and subconscious create our reality—and why the lessons we resist the most are often the ones life keeps putting in front of us until we choose to change what we despise.Support the showVisit macierenae.com to learn more about Macie & her work!Interested in working with her?

But what it’s really doing is keeping you stuck/small.In this episode, we’ll talk about:The most relatable ways women sabotage themselves in careers, relationships, friendships, and family lifeWhy sabotage feels the loudest right before a breakthroughThree powerful ways to catch yourself in the moment and choose growth instead of shrinkingAnd you get to decide — do you step back into old patterns, or forward into the woman you’re becoming?Support the showVisit macierenae.com to learn more about Macie & her work!Interested in working with her?

    The Trap of "Learned Helplessness"

    Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “What’s the point? I’ve tried before and it never works anyway”?That quiet thought is more powerful than most people realize. It’s what psychologists call learned helplessness—when repeated disappointments convince your brain that your effort doesn’t matter.And here’s the thing: it doesn’t just live in the “big” areas. It sneaks into your relationships when you stop asking for what you need. It shows up in your career when you don’t go after opportunities because you assume the answer is no. It’s there when you give up on your health or money goals because “you’ll probably quit eventually.”In this episode, I want to slow down and really unpack what’s happening in your brain when helplessness sets in—because once you see it for what it is, you don’t have to stay stuck there.We’ll talk about:Why learned helplessness develops (and how your brain thinks it’s keeping you safe).The everyday ways it keeps women circling the same patterns.How to notice when you’ve quietly stopped trying—not because you can’t, but because you stopped believing it matters.What it looks like to unlearn helplessness and rebuild your self-trust in small, powerful ways.If you’ve been feeling stuck in an “it is what it is” season, this episode is your reminder: helplessness isn’t permanent. It’s learned—and anything learned can be unlearned.Want to sign up for The Threshold + Elevated EQ ? Join here by Friday, Sept 26th: https://coachingmasterclasses.com/Questions?

    When Women Crave Emotional Depth

    What does it really mean when a woman says she wants more depth? It’s rarely about wanting “more” in the material sense—it’s about the ache for emotional connection, presence, and understanding.In this episode, we unpack the dynamic between the feminine and the masculine, and why so many women quietly long for more:The ways feminine energy craves to be seen, felt, and held.How masculine energy often misunderstands or resists that need for depth.The difference between surface-level connection and the kind of intimacy that actually nourishes.What both energies can learn about awareness, emotional intelligence, and creating a relationship that feels alive instead of stagnant.This conversation is about more than relationships—it’s about the human desire for resonance, clarity, and real connection. If you’ve ever felt like something was missing, even when things look “fine” on the outside, you’ll find yourself in this episode.Want to take my newest mini program, THE THRESHOLD?
