Healing + Human Potential

What if the way you react under stress isn't who you are, but a strategy you learned to feel safe?
In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Steven Kessler to explore the five personality patterns and how they quietly shape our behavior, relationships, and sense of safety. We talk about why these patterns are not personality labels, but early survival strategies that once helped us cope, and may still be running our lives today.
Steven breaks down each pattern, leaving, merging, enduring, aggressive, and rigid. We explore how these patterns form in childhood, how they show up in the body, and how they play out in relationships, work, and moments of stress. 
This conversation is an invitation to build self-awareness without self-judgment. When we can notice our patterns in real time, we gain more choice, more presence, and more freedom. If you're curious about your own patterns and ready to relate to yourself with more compassion, this episode will meet you right where you are.

What stops people is the meaning they attach to failure, and how personally they take it.
In Day 5 of the Confidence + Clients Bootcamp, I walk you through a powerful experiential process to help you release fear of failure at the root, so you can stop freezing, self-sabotaging, or pulling back right when momentum starts to build.
We'll dive into:
Why fear of failure is actually a protection strategy
How self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and over-responsibility are connected
Why blocks don't come from situations, they get activated by them
How to stop making failure mean something about who you are
Why success depends more on your nervous system than strategy
You'll experience:
Whiteboard strategy connecting inner work to real-world results
A powerful group process to break free from fear of failure
Somatic integration to release fear from the body, not just the mind
Live coaching and real-time breakthroughs
Practical insights you can apply immediately to business, leadership, or life
If you're ready to stop doing this work alone and you want real support while you integrate it into your life, business, and identity, I invite you to apply to my ICF-accredited certification program.
This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about fully owning who you already are and learning how to live and lead from that place.
Applying doesn't commit you, it simply opens the conversation.

Why does manifestation work for some people, but not others?
In Day 2 of the 5-Day Confidence + Clients Bootcamp, we introduce a powerful somatic tool to help you embody your goals so you're no longer trying to "think" your way into confidence, success, or clients.

You'll learn:
Why manifestation hasn't worked in the past (and what actually changes it)
How embodiment creates confidence that doesn't depend on external results
The role identity plays in accelerated manifestation
Why avoiding fear keeps you stuck, and how embracing it unlocks power
You'll experience:
