The life that you want/desire requires that you show up for it with actions, or else it CANNOT show up for you. This week on Blowing The Lid, I’m diving into a pattern so many of us fall into without realizing it: questioning ourselves out of our own dreams.I break down the difference between helpful clarifying questions and the endless loop of overthinking that keeps you from taking action. I share my personal experience with staying in “strategy mode” for years, and how shifting into movement — even when I didn’t have all the answers — completely changed my confidence, my joy, and my momentum.You’ll hear me talk about:How over-questioning becomes self-sabotageWhy answers show up after you start, not beforeWhat happens when you stop delaying and finally take the next stepHow to know when you’ve planned enoughWhy your dreams can’t leave the paper without youThe synchronicities that confirm you're on the right pathIf you’ve ever felt stuck between your desire and your action, this episode will help you reconnect with your power to begin.Perfect for listeners searching for:personal development podcast, self-growth motivation, confidence building, stop overthinking, take action, women’s personal growth, mindset coaching, becoming your best self.Instagram: @clerissanchezBlowing The Lid Podcast IG: @blowingthelidFacebook: Cleris SanchezPodcast: Blowing The Lid on all streaming platformsWebsite: www.blowingthelidwithcleris.comWork With Me / Speaking / Coaching: www.blowingthelidwithcleris.comEmail: [email protected]

In this episode of Blowing The Lid, I take you behind the scenes of what has been unfolding in my life lately — the manifestation, the miracles, the chaos, the becoming, and the unexpected assignment that changed everything.It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve released an episode, not because I haven’t wanted to, but because life has been lifing in the most beautiful, wild, divinely orchestrated ways. And today, I’m sharing exactly what it has looked like for me to build the life I desire while also living it at the same time.Because manifestation isn’t about sitting around waiting. It’s about living, trusting, moving, and acting on the pings God gives you.How I went from planning a full “rest day” to being divinely redirected into feeding 10 families in my communityThe moment I heard God say, “You’re not spending your money — you’re spending mine,” and how that shifted everythingHow a Shipt shopper named Angel confirmed I was exactly where I was meant to beThe importance of trusting your intuition the moment it speaks — not after you’ve overthought itWhy becoming the woman who can “hold the room” had to happen before I could host my first live podcast eventWhat I learned from hosting my first live Blowing the Lid Podcast with 15 incredible womenHow timing, trust, and self-belief shape the version of you you’re growing intoWhy the downloads you receive require patience, courage, and action — not perfectionI created this episode because so many of us struggle with the in-between — the space between who we are and who we’re becoming. We want the dream life, the goals, the abundance, the success… but we forget to actually live while we’re building it.We forget to trust ourselves.We forget to listen to the pings.We forget that our intuition is connected directly to Source.But everything I’m experiencing right now — the miracles, the moments, the alignment — is because I’ve learned to walk hand-in-hand with my intuition and act when I’m called to act… even when it makes no sense and even when I’d rather stay in bed.Your intuition isn’t random — it’s direction.You don’t need permission to act on what’s been placed on your heart.Becoming the version of yourself who can hold the dream is part of the process.When God gives you a mission, He also provides the resources.Impact doesn’t require a crowd — it requires a willing heart.You can create magic in your community with exactly what you have today.You don’t have to have all the answers to start.Life expands when you trust yourself.manifestation, intuition, trusting your intuition, following divine nudges, how to manifest, becoming your best self, personal growth journey, self-trust, God’s timing, surrender and trust, community impact, live podcast event, women’s empowerment podcast, Blowing The Lid Podcast, Cleris Sanchez podcast, spiritual guidance, personal transformation, mindset work, inspiration for womenBuild more trust with your intuitionLearn how to take action when you feel calledStrengthen your connection with God/SourceEmbody confidence and self-beliefStop waiting and start livingUnderstand the real process of becoming your higher selfFeel inspired to make an impact in your communityHear the behind-the-scenes of Cleris’ first live podcast eventIf this episode resonated with you, please take a moment to leave a review.

SummaryI flew to Nashville for STORY 2025—an immersive storytelling experience—and let myself feel everything: awe, laughter, tears, and a full-body reminder to protect wonder in a world obsessed with certainty. I share what I learned from Harris III’s work on wonder, the comedy genius of Pat Hazel (Seinfeld) and Dave Reynolds (Conan, Toy Story, The Emperor’s New Groove), and the exact moment I chose bravery over perfection and read my book-jacket intro to Pat right there in the hallway. The win wasn’t external validation; it was proving to myself that I show up.What you’ll hearWhy I’m reclaiming wonder (and how Googling everything can kill our joy)Harris III’s “Wonder Switch” idea and how I’m applying it in real lifeLegends in the writing room: Pat Hazel & Dave Reynolds—what I learned about comedy + voiceThe “invisible thread” moment that led me to read my book intro on the spotThe difference between needing praise vs. needing braveryHow pride in yourself becomes sacred fuel for the next opportunityKey takeawaysWonder is creative oxygen—let yourself not know and imagine again.Bravery is a practice; the more you choose it, the more it chooses you.You don’t need permission to be who you already are—prove it to yourself.When you show up, the next aligned door appears (and you’re ready to walk through it).Resources & mentionsSTORY 2025 (Nashville)Harris III — The Wonder SwitchPat Hazel (Seinfeld)Dave Reynolds (Conan, Pixar, The Emperor’s New Groove)SEO keywordsSTORY conference Nashville, Harris III Wonder Switch, Pat Hazel Seinfeld, Dave Reynolds Pixar, women in self improvement, comedic nonfiction author, creative confidence, how to be brave, personal growth podcast, reclaiming wonderRate & reviewIf this episode moved you, a quick ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️rating + review helps more women find the show.Come hang with me IRL🎟 Live Podcast — Nov 8, Downtown Fayetteville: Rewriting Your Story by Rewriting the Rules.

Have you ever thought about the fact that what you’re dreaming of is actually dreaming of you? In this powerful episode of Blowing The Lid, I share a mind-shifting truth: your desires, your art, your vision, and your dreams need YOU more than you need them.So many of us get caught up in feeling unworthy, doubtful, or like what we want is too far out of reach.

This week on Blowing the Lid, I’m diving into one of my favorite topics: being the one—the person who takes initiative when no one else will. From changing the toilet paper roll to wiping down the office microwave, the smallest actions have the biggest ripple effects in our homes, our workplaces, and our leadership.I share stories about why taking responsibility for the “easy not to do” things instantly sets you apart as a leader, in business and in life. This isn’t just about chores—it’s about integrity, consistency, and showing the people around you that you lead by example.I also give you real-world, practical examples of how these tiny shifts reduce stress, improve relationships, and make you the person others trust with more responsibility, promotions, or opportunities.And—big news—I recap how AXA Solutions just won Best Booth at our very first trade show (yes, we went full Elf mode 🎥🍬), and I share details about my first ever live podcast recording happening November 8th in Fayetteville, NC with two powerhouse women you won’t want to miss.If you’ve ever wondered how to set yourself apart in life, in business, and in relationships—the answer is simple: be the one.✨ Key takeaways you’ll learn in this episode:Why small acts of initiative (like replacing the toilet paper roll) transform your leadership.How skipping small things often mirrors skipping big opportunities.The difference between leaders who say and leaders who do.Why responsibility is the true shortcut to growth, trust, and success.How this mindset shows up in business, teams, and even client experiences.🎟️ Don’t forget: grab your ticket to my live podcast event, Rewriting the Rules, on November 8th in Fayetteville.

This week, I’m sharing something a little different, Mario and I went to our very first Adam Sandler show, and honestly, it blew me away. I laughed, I cried, and I walked out of that arena reminded of what life is really about.Here’s what I talk about in this episode:🎭 How one night of comedy brought people from all walks of life together through laughter, tears, and love.🌹 Why we have to give people their flowers now, not after they’re gone.🤝 The beautiful legacy of friendship - watching Adam honor Chris Farley reminded me how powerful our relationships are.🌟 Why living in alignment with who you are (instead of chasing what you think you “should” do) is the path to the life you actually want.💡 My reminder for all of us: Live unapologetically, surround yourself with the people you love, and create moments that matter.This episode is short, but it’s packed with love, gratitude, and some hard-hitting reminders.

What if the very thing you’re gripping so tightly is the very thing blocking your breakthrough? In this episode of Blowing the Lid, I unpack the viral story of the baseball dad who handed over a home run ball, and ended up receiving signed memorabilia, World Series tickets, and even an RV for his family.This isn’t just about baseball. It’s about life. When we let go of control, we create space for miracles. I’ll show you why surrender is the doorway to overflow, how your being always reveals your true beliefs, and why the universe (yes, God Himself) is conspiring in your favor.If you’ve been clinging to old stories, toxic relationships, money fears, or your own idea of how life “should” look, this episode is your invitation to loosen the grip and watch what happens.Keywords: mindset motivation, letting go, surrender, manifestation, miracles, blessings, life upgrade, faith, self-worth, motivational podcast

BONUS EPISODE This bonus episode is all about letting late be late. For years, I rushed around in the mornings, stressed and snapping, only to still end up late taking Aiden to school. It never actually saved time, it just stole our peace. Today I chose to do things differently. I was already going to be late, and decided to enjoy my morning, and let the late be what it was. Tune in for a simple but powerful reminder: don’t let one small thing ruin your whole day.

This week I experienced something that still has me in shock, a breakthrough three years in the making. On August 28th, to the exact day, my felony case was officially dismissed. For three years, I carried the weight of a charge that never made sense, and now it’s gone.In this episode, I open up about what really happened, how it shaped me, and the healing journey I had to go through to release the shame, perfectionism, and fear of what others might think. This isn’t just about a legal case, it’s about learning who you really are when life tests you in the deepest way.I share the lessons I’ve learned about letting go of other people’s opinions, owning your truth, and standing strong even when life tries to knock you down. If you’ve ever felt defined by your mistakes, misunderstood, or pressured to live up to perfection, this episode will remind you that your story doesn’t end in the waiting, it’s being written in the waiting.You’ll walk away with powerful questions to reflect on: Who are you, really? Are you ready to release the need to be liked by everyone? And what truths are you still holding inside that are keeping you locked up instead of free?This is an episode about freedom, growth, and the truth that everything works out when you’re aligned with your soul’s mission. If you’re on a personal development journey, navigating self-healing, or ready to step into your unstoppable self, you’re going to feel seen here.🔑 Keywords: personal development podcast, self-help motivation, healing journey, overcoming shame, finding your true self, mindset growth, resilience, alignment, empowerment
