If you’ve ever done “all the right things” for your mental health and still felt stuck, this conversation will challenge what you’ve been told to expect. I’m joined by Brisbane-based psychotherapist, educator, and author Yildiz Sethi, who makes a clear case for moving beyond coping strategies and symptom management toward deeper healing that actually changes the pattern underneath.We talk about why the dominant medical model can quietly lock people into labels and long timelines, even as neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and epigenetics keep proving the brain and nervous system can change. Yildiz explains why so much therapy stays on the surface of the conscious mind, and what happens when you finally work with the subconscious instead. We dig into two powerful sources of repeating struggles: generational patterns carried through family systems and epigenetic inheritance, and personal experiences that get repressed as protection and later show up as triggers, anxiety, anger, or persistent self-doubt.Jildiz shares how approaches like family constellations and her trauma-informed processing work aim to find the root cause quickly and resolve it safely, not just reframe it. She also adds an important safeguard: some severe mental health conditions still require diagnosis, medication, and specialist care, and this work is not a blanket answer for every case. Connect with YildizWebsite: https://yildizsethi.com/LinkedIn  https://linkedin.com/in/yildiz-sethi/If this brought you relief or sparked a new way of thinking about psychotherapy and healing, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find Connect, Inspire, Create.Let me know what you’d like to hear more about on the showSupport the showI’m Carol Clegg, your host, an accountability coach and curious conversationalist inviting guests from a wide range of backgrounds to share insights on how they live, think, and navigate change.If you enjoy reflection, fresh perspectives, and honest dialogue, this space is for you.If you’d like to experience this work in community, I host a complimentary monthly Accountability Circle  a supportive space to pause, gain clarity, and choose a gentle next step forward.

The job search can sometimes feel like sending your résumé into a void.Applications go out… and silence comes back.In my latest episode of Connect Inspire Create, I sat down with recruiter insider Megan Applegate, who spent years reviewing thousands of résumés and sitting in hiring manager discussions.Her perspective was eye-opening.Many highly qualified professionals are filtered out long before a human ever reads their experience. Not because they lack skill, but because their résumé isn’t speaking the language recruiters and hiring systems expect.In this conversation we explore:• What recruiters actually look for in the first few seconds of a résumé• Why the job search often feels like a black box• The small mistakes that cause strong candidates to get filtered out• How to position your experience as a solution rather than a list of tasks• Why networking still opens many of the most meaningful opportunitiesWhether you’re considering a career shift, supporting someone in their job search, or simply curious about how the hiring process really works, Megan shares a behind-the-scenes look that brings clarity to the process.Connect with Megan on LinkedInInterested in the TAP approach?

Brheanna offers gentle ways to reprogram the subconscious and regulate the nervous system while staying fully rooted in everyday life — work, relationships, and the ordinary rhythms that keep us steady.In this episode, we explore:why spiritual awakening often destabilizes identity before it settlesego urgency versus the soul’s longer, quieter timelinethe brain as an antenna — tuning into frequency rather than forcing changekindness as a ripple effect across the collectivewalk-in soul shifts and subtle identity changessimple, practical tools like handwriting journals and letters to past selvessleep affirmations and 21-day cycles for subconscious reprogramminggrief as a natural part of awakening — and sensing ongoing connectionIf you’re navigating change, questioning who you’re becoming, or simply feeling that something inside you is rearranging itself, this conversation offers reassurance, perspective, and a softer way forward.Connect with Brheanna here:  https://www.lightandbreezycoaching.comLet me know what you’d like to hear more about on the showSupport the showI’m Carol Clegg, your host, an accountability coach and curious conversationalist inviting guests from a wide range of backgrounds to share insights on how they live, think, and navigate change.If you enjoy reflection, fresh perspectives, and honest dialogue, this space is for you.If you’d like to experience this work in community, I host a complimentary monthly Accountability Circle  a supportive space to pause, gain clarity, and choose a gentle next step forward.

Dawn Krusch, organizational psychologist and leadership development specialist, reveals how mindfulness practices bridge the gap from separateness to togetherness by first understanding ourselves and our own needs. Through her personal experience of receiving a "download" during deep meditation that led to launching Psych Around the Globe, Dawn demonstrates how inner work creates the foundation for meaningful connection with others.• Between 30,000-50,000 thoughts pass through our minds daily, each transmuted through our emotional center• Connection begins with understanding yourself, your values, and learning to trust your inner guidance• Active listening requires being truly present rather than simply waiting for your turn to speak• Effective communication means recognizing others process your words through their unique experiences• Self-doubt appears universally across cultures, often from thinking others are more focused on us than they are• Vulnerability about our mistakes and biases creates pathways for others to connect authentically• Empathy is a skill that can be continuously developed through practice and curiosity• Psychological resilience builds in layers through daily practices and self-compassion• All we truly have is this moment – be proud of yourself for navigating life's challengesConnect with Dawn at psycharoundtheglobe.org or on LinkedIn I invite you to share what you're taking away from today's conversation on my LinkedIn page for the podcast called Connect, Inspire, Create.

What if the patterns you keep experiencing aren't just coincidences, but signs of a deeper loop you're stuck in? Leadership strategist James Robbins had this revelation when he discovered he was living what he calls a "copy-paste life" – experiencing the same challenges, emotions, and even physical ailments on the same dates year after year.Our conversation explores how we get trapped in these loops and, more importantly, how to break free from them. At the heart of this discussion is courage – the courage to speak your truth and the courage to be authentically yourself, even when it means facing anxiety or potential rejection. This brings us to what Robbins calls an "appointment with your soul"—a concept inspired by Jungian psychoanalyst Dr. James Hollis.

Ever wondered what happens when women truly see themselves through fresh eyes? Liz Hansen, owner of Chicago Boudoir Photography, reveals the transformative magic that occurs in her studio every day."Is that me?" It's the question Liz hears most often when women first see their unedited photos during a boudoir session. That moment of recognition, seeing yourself as beautiful, powerful, and sensual exactly as you are has changed the lives of over 2,000 women who've stepped in front of Liz's camera since 2018.What began as Liz's own personal transformation through a boudoir session has evolved into a mission-driven business that goes far beyond photography. With an all-female staff and a commitment to creating a safe, affirming environment, she's built not just a successful studio but a thriving community of over 10,000 women who support each other in embracing confidence.Liz shares powerful insights about entrepreneurship that apply to any purpose-driven business: "Ready is not a state of being—it's a decision." Whether stepping in front of a camera or launching a new venture, waiting until you feel completely prepared might mean never taking that first step. Her approach of serving just one client per day ensures a "queen for the day" experience while maintaining a sustainable business model.For women hesitant about trying boudoir photography, Liz's message is simple: you don't need to change anything about yourself to be worthy of celebration through beautiful imagery. And for entrepreneurs struggling with the challenges of building something meaningful, she offers hard-earned wisdom: "Starting a business is the work of a lifetime. It's like having a newborn baby and trying to get it to grow up and be self-sufficient."Connect with Liz at chicagoboudoir.com to explore free resources on empowerment or to learn more about creating your own transformative boudoir experience.Let me know what you’d like to hear more about on the showSupport the showI’m Carol Clegg, your host, an accountability coach and curious conversationalist inviting guests from a wide range of backgrounds to share insights on how they live, think, and navigate change.If you enjoy reflection, fresh perspectives, and honest dialogue, this space is for you.If you’d like to experience this work in community, I host a complimentary monthly Accountability Circle  a supportive space to pause, gain clarity, and choose a gentle next step forward.

Ever feel like something invisible is holding you back in business, despite your best efforts? You're not alone. In this enlightening conversation with spiritual coach and master healer Cheryl Stelte, we uncover how subconscious blocks silently limit our growth and potential.Cheryl reveals that true transformation happens not at the surface level of mindset work, but by accessing the physical sensations and emotions stored in our subconscious. "Subconscious blocks are encoded in the right side of the brain through physical sensations and emotions, not through linear memories," she explains. This understanding unlocks why traditional approaches often fall short for ambitious women entrepreneurs.Cheryl Stelte, spiritual coach and master healer, shares how clearing subconscious blocks can transform both life and business by raising our "safety ceiling" and allowing us to step into our authentic power.• Subconscious blocks are stored as physical sensations and emotions in the right brain, not through linear memories• Many midlife women were conditioned not to process emotions properly, creating blocks that limit business growth• Our "safety ceiling" determines how far we feel safe expanding our business and stepping into our power• Full abdominal breathing changes brain function and creates a doorway to access the subconscious• Client success story of a woman who finally launched her business after being stuck for 10 years• When we heal ourselves, all our relationships naturally transform and improve• Simple daily practice: breathe deeply into your lower abdomen for 6-8 seconds in and out, asking your body what's in your wayWhere to connect with Cheryl:https://cherylstelte.kartra.com/page/powerful-mediationsWebsite: https://starofdivinelight.com/LinkedIn  Instagram Let me know what you’d like to hear more about on the showSupport the showI’m Carol Clegg, your host, an accountability coach and curious conversationalist inviting guests from a wide range of backgrounds to share insights on how they live, think, and navigate change.If you enjoy reflection, fresh perspectives, and honest dialogue, this space is for you.If you’d like to experience this work in community, I host a complimentary monthly Accountability Circle  a supportive space to pause, gain clarity, and choose a gentle next step forward.

Join us as I welcome my guest Madelaine Weiss, a Harvard-trained Licensed Psychotherapist and Mindset Expert, with an MBA and Board-Certification in Executive, Career, and Life Coaching, who shares not only her professional wisdom but also heartwarming personal stories. As the bestselling author of “Getting to G.R.E.A.T. 5-Step Strategy for Work and Life,” a coauthor in the “Handbook of Stressful Transitions Across the Lifespan,” Madelaine recently released her personal development book for kids, “What’s Your Story?” The book aims to help young people build lives of resilience, performance, and overall well-being, making it a thoughtful gift for families. By incorporating the hero's journey and other engaging exercises, the workbook encourages children to explore their own narratives and develop a strong sense of self-awareness.One of the core topics discussed in this episode is the GREAT strategy, a transformative five-step approach to personal growth. Grounding, Recognition, Exploring, Action, and Taming (T) are the pillars of this strategy, which helps individuals transition from psychotherapy to coaching. Madelaine highlights the importance of grounding in belief and creating a supportive space for clients, enabling them to overcome personal obstacles and foster change.

By detaching from specific expectations and embracing uncertainty, we create space for growth, learning, and progress. I share a few practical steps for reframing outcomes, setting realistic goals, and building a mindset of adaptability and self-compassion.Ask yourself why a particular outcome is important, then set realistic plans to release the need for immediate results.Explore areas of your life where outcomes feel less critical and practice a relaxed attitude toward them.Shift your mindset by focusing on positive or neutral outcomes instead of fearing the worst.Affirm that your self-worth is not tied to external outcomes or validation.Embrace mindfulness, practice gratitude, and acknowledge that failure can be reframed as growth.Action Item for Listeners: Choose one small area in your life where the stakes are low, and practice letting go of your attachment to the outcome.
