On paper, Kristen was winning.Promotions. Stability. A clear path to the top.But right before a trip to Hawaii, she had a realization that shook her: you can live somewhere beautiful… and still feel trapped by a schedule that owns you.In this episode, Kristen shares the honest, behind-the-scenes story of walking away from the “safe” path and building an online business that has now generated over $2M in sales. But this isn’t just about money.It’s about reclaiming your time. It’s about retiring her husband.It’s about slow mornings, park days at 2:30pm, and never having to ask for permission to live your life.We talk about the fear, the sacrifice, the identity shift from employee to entrepreneur, and the uncomfortable truth: everyone says they want freedom… but very few are willing to become the person who can hold it.If you’ve been feeling that quiet pull for more — more time, more ownership, more presence — this conversation might be the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.

In this episode of The Breakthrough & Conquer Podcast, I sit down with Alexus Gouveia, a friend, transformation coach, hypnotherapist, and author of Evolving You, for a powerful conversation about healing, nervous system regulation, and becoming the person your life is asking you to be.Alexus opens up about living two lives, hitting rock bottom, and how childhood programming and subconscious patterns can quietly run our decisions, health, and success. Together, we unpack why healing isn’t a destination, why success starts from the inside out, and how releasing emotional blocks can completely change the way you experience life.This episode is for the woman who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or knows deep down that there’s more for her—without needing to “fix” herself first.If you’re ready to stop surviving and start returning to yourself, this conversation is for you.

What if the moment you thought would break you… ended up being the door to your dream life?In this powerful conversation, I sit down with my mentor Ashley Krooks—an online entrepreneur who turned getting fired into the start of a multi-million dollar business, a world-travel lifestyle, and a deeper sense of peace than she ever imagined.We talk about the early hustle, what success really feels like when it comes fast, and why somatic and nervous system work isn’t just “woo” - it’s the secret to holding what you worked so hard for.This one is for the woman building her business in the pockets of her day.The woman chasing freedom, but craving presence.The woman wondering if the next “bad moment” might actually be her breakthrough.It’s real. It’s raw. It’s exactly what we wish we knew when we started.🎧 Tune in now on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube.
