Default Disrupted with Jacqueline Paumier

I’ve watched one too many brilliant, bold, gorgeous launches die on the cutting room floor, not because the strategy was off, not because the copy missed, but because the nervous system said: hell no.In this episode of Default, Disrupted, I’m joined by therapist and coach Angela Williams, one of the powerhouse experts I call in when a client’s inner child, unresolved wounds, or deep-rooted patterns start hijacking their creative process. Together, we break down why your positioning, brand, and big vision must be backed by holistic support, or else your next level becomes a nervous system threat instead of a celebration.We talk:How to move through the fear of being seenThe truth about sabotage cycles and avoidanceWhat embodiment actually looks like during transitionsHow Angela and I tag-team with our clients so nothing gets lost in translation, from therapy breakthroughs straight to creative executionThis is the episode to listen to if you’re tired of beautiful ideas getting benched by inner chaos. Your next level doesn’t have to break you. It can expand you...if you know how to hold it.Listen now. Your breakthrough wants a seat at the table.

In this powerful and personal conversation, I sit down with Brenda Lomeli, Certified Master Life & Weight Loss Coach, to unpack the deeply colonized roots of mainstream health, wellness, and body image culture.Brenda shares how she broke up with performative health standards, redefined her relationship to her body, and built a business rooted in liberation, not oppression. We get into emotional eating, unlearning body shame, and reclaiming our power as women of color navigating systems that were never built for us.This episode is an unfiltered reminder that real health isn’t about compliance, it’s about coming home to yourself.

Welcome to Default Disrupted, the show for misfits, makers, and mission-led disruptors who were never meant to follow the script. In this solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and telling the truth: why I created this show, what I’ve had to burn down to get here, and why disrupting the default isn't just cute branding, it’s a life path.This is for the chain breakers. The cycle enders. The ones who feel like the blueprint doesn't quite fit.If you’ve ever been told to shrink, play nice, or stay in your lane… this episode is your permission slip to stop pretending and start building what’s real.
