The Hidden Blocks Keeping Women Stuck: Healing the Subconscious & Reclaiming Your Power

Have you ever felt like you’ve done all the “right” things… read the books, worked on yourself, tried to stay positive… and yet something still feels stuck? In this powerful episode of the Happy Healthy Her Podcast, Cynthia, Tracey, and Lorraine sit down with spiritual coach, healer, and bestselling author Cheryl Stelte to explore the deeper subconscious patterns that quietly shape our emotions, reactions, relationships, confidence, and sense of purpose. Together, they dive into: • Why many women still feel blocked after years of personal growth work • How childhood experiences and emotional survival patterns can shape adulthood • The connection between trauma, the nervous system, and subconscious beliefs • What energy healing and subconscious healing actually mean • Cheryl’s ACE Method for accessing, clearing, and empowering the subconscious mind • Why healing is less about “fixing yourself” and more about finally seeing yourself clearly This conversation is deep, honest, emotional, and incredibly eye-opening for women who know there is more inside them… but aren’t sure what’s been holding them back. If you’ve ever felt exhausted from trying so hard to become someone better, this episode may gently remind you that healing begins when you stop fighting yourself and start listening to yourself. ✨ Connect with Cheryl Stelte: https://starofdivinelight.com/ 👍 Like 💬 Comment 🔔 Subscribe and share this episode with a woman who needs this reminder today.

When You Know Better But Still React: The Power of Awareness in Midlife

Have you ever had a moment where you knew better… and still reacted in a way you wish you could take back? In this honest and unscripted Happy Healthy Her: Between Us Girls episode, we’re talking about awareness — and why it’s so hard to access in the moment when emotions take over. Just days after having a beautiful conversation about “The Pause” — taking a breath, stepping back, and choosing a thoughtful response — everything got tested. A phone call. A situation. A reaction that came too fast. And afterward? The weight of realizing… I didn’t pause at all. In this conversation, we explore: • Why awareness is easy in theory but hard in real life • The space between trigger and response • How quickly emotions can override what we “know” • Why we’re often harder on ourselves than we are on others • And how grace plays a role in growth This isn’t about getting it right every time. It’s about learning to recognize the moment — and giving yourself grace when you miss it. If you’ve ever reacted too quickly, replayed a moment in your mind, or wished you had handled something differently… this conversation will feel very real.

Creating a Space Where People Naturally Come Together and Why it Matters

There’s something powerful about walking into a place and feeling like you belong… and when it’s created with intention, you can feel the difference. In this episode of the Happy Healthy Her Podcast, we sit down with Rebecca Ramaglia, a woman who stepped from waitressing into business ownership and created something far more than a place to go—it became a community. What started as an opportunity to take over a small business has grown into a space where people connect, return, and become part of a larger community of like-minded people. Rebecca shares how that didn’t happen overnight. It came from showing up, learning as she went, and allowing the business to evolve into something more meaningful than she first imagined. We also talk about what it looks like to take a risk when you don’t feel ready, how confidence is built through doing—not knowing—and how life transitions, like preparing for motherhood, shift your role and perspective in what you’ve created. This is a real conversation about growth, trust, and building something that reflects who you are becoming. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re capable of more, this story will remind you—sometimes you don’t start ready… You become ready along the way. 👉 Contact Us: https://linktr.ee/HappyHealthyHerPodcast *************************** 🔹 Lorraine Kihm - Wellness Coach 🌍 https://innerpathwayswellness.com/ ✉️ lorraine.eve@InnerPathwaysWellness.com YT : https://www.youtube.com/@InnerPathwaysWellness FB: https://www.facebook.com/InnerPathwaysWellness/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/innerpathwayswellness/ *************************** 🔹 Cynthia Penner - Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist and Author 🌍https://https://mymenopausemap.com ✉️ mymenopausemap@gmail.com Check out Cynthia’s Book “MIND MAZE Reclaiming Your Clarity in the Midst of Chaos” https://amzn.to/4pNuche Check out Cynthia’s Book “HORMONE HAVOC Finding Balance Without Losing Yourself” https://amzn.to/48MKfpJ Check out Cynthia’s Book “INSOMNIA IMBALANCE Restoring Your Sleepless Mind and Body” https://amzn.to/4ryPwbU Listen to The Menopause Map Minute podcast: Spotify Apple Youtube *************************** 🔹 Tracey Male - Health Empowerment Coach 🌍 NaturesProtege.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@naturesprotege FB: https://www.facebook.com/naturesprotege IG: https://www.instagram.com/natures_protege/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/natures-protege/

Relationship Expectations vs Reality: Why Love Feels Harder Than You Thought

We grow up believing that when we find the right person, relationships should feel natural, easy, and effortless. But in reality, even healthy relationships come with conflict, frustration, and moments of disconnection. In this episode of Happy Healthy Her Podcast, we welcome back Dr. Bruce Chalmer—this time joined by his wife, Judy Alexander—for a real and honest conversation about why relationships feel hard, even when they’re good. Together, we explore the gap between expectations and reality, why couples repeat the same arguments, and how small annoyances can either erode the connection or strengthen it. You’ll hear powerful insights on emotional intimacy, the “emotional bank account,” and why learning to tolerate discomfort is often the key to deeper connection. This isn’t about fixing your partner or finding the perfect relationship. It’s about understanding what’s really happening beneath the surface—so you can respond with more clarity, patience, and intention. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this normal?” or “Should it feel easier than this?”—this episode will give you a grounded, honest perspective on what real relationships actually look like.
