Descripción

In this episode, we go beyond surface-level self-development and into the raw truth of what it actually takes to undress the BS that’s keeping you stuck... especially when you already feel self-aware. I’m joined by Becca Ploener, high-stakes performance coach and sponsored whitewater athlete, whose work lives at the intersection of risk, embodiment, and play. Together, we explore the hidden patterns that show up right when things start working. The moment you’re expanding, receiving more, and stepping into new levels of power… yet your mind jumps to worst-case scenarios, doubt, or self-sabotage. This conversation will shift how you see: * Fear, anxiety, and “risk” in your life and business * Why being “self-aware” isn’t the same as being embodied * The trap of over-healing and staying stuck in awareness * The real missing step between feeling fear and taking action * How your bod (not your mind) holds the key to your next level We also dive into: * The difference between external pressure vs. feeling pressured * Why your nervous system reacts the same to a sales call as it does to danger * How to turn activation (fear, nerves, excitement) into power and performance * The identity conflict between craving safety and wanting expansion If you’ve ever felt like: “I know all this… so why am I still not fully living it?” This episode will land. Because the truth is— You don’t need more information. You need deeper embodiment. And that’s exactly what we open up here.

episode When Life Cracks You Open: Finding Truth Through Challenge (with Liese Ghekiere) artwork

When Life Cracks You Open: Finding Truth Through Challenge (with Liese Ghekiere)

What does it actually mean to lead from your Truth... beyond the quotes, the performance, and the pressure to “have it all figured out”? In this deeply grounding and soul-opening conversation, I sit down with Liese to explore the real-life embodiment of leading from Truth, surrendering control, and learning to trust life even when it doesn’t go according to plan. Together, we dive into: * The difference between alignment and performance * Letting life initiate you instead of forcing timelines * Moving from push energy into deeper trust * Navigating business, motherhood, emotions, and uncertainty from the heart * How sensitivity can become a compass instead of a weakness * The power of staying present with what you feel instead of bypassing it * Why love (not fear, urgency, or perfectionism) changes how we lead Liese also shares the profound journey her family has walked through caring for their highly sensitive daughter, and how that experience transformed the way they relate to life, business, emotions, and each other. This episode is an invitation to soften, tune in, and reconnect with the deeper wisdom already living inside of you. If you’ve been craving a more grounded, feminine, soul-led way of moving through life and leadership… this conversation will meet you there.   Connect with Liese: @lieseghekiere (https://www.instagram.com/lieseghekiere/ [https://www.instagram.com/lieseghekiere/]) Join my free private community: Come join us inside Aligned and Turned On www.facebook.com/groups/alignedandturnedon/  [http://www.facebook.com/groups/alignedandturnedon/] Access the Aligned & Turned On Masterclass (free): https://www.withkindawareness.com/aligned-and-turned-on-masterclass [https://www.withkindawareness.com/aligned-and-turned-on-masterclass]

episode Belonging Without Betraying Yourself (with Hannah Elsie) artwork

Belonging Without Betraying Yourself (with Hannah Elsie)

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with transformational mentor and founder of the Iconicity Movement, Hannah Elsie, to explore what it really means to reclaim your power as a woman. Together, we dive beyond surface-level empowerment and into the subtle, everyday ways women abandon themselves without even realizing it... shrinking to fit in, overriding intuition, seeking belonging through performance, and disconnecting from their truth in the smallest moments. We explore: * Why you never actually lost your power * The hidden “micro self-abandonments” women experience daily * How conditioning disconnects us from our truth * The difference between reclaiming your power and embodying it * The tension between belonging and being fully yourself * Sisterhood wounds, community, and being truly seen * Identity, self-trust, and learning to stop shrinking * The small daily choices that reconnect you back to yourself This episode is a reminder that reclaiming your power is not one dramatic moment... it’s a thousand tiny decisions to choose yourself again and again. If you’ve been craving deeper self-trust, fuller self-expression, and the freedom to stop performing who you think you need to be… this conversation will speak directly to your soul.   Connect with Hannah: @hannahelsie_awc (https://www.instagram.com/hannahelsie_awc/ [https://www.instagram.com/hannahelsie_awc/]) Join my free private community: Come join us inside Aligned and Turned On www.facebook.com/groups/alignedandturnedon/  [http://www.facebook.com/groups/alignedandturnedon/]

episode Own Your Greatness: The Identity Shift That Changes Everything (with Anouk Kral) artwork

Own Your Greatness: The Identity Shift That Changes Everything (with Anouk Kral)

In this episode of Aligned and Turned On with Nedjma, we dive deep into what it really means to own your greatness... beyond the captions, the mindset work, and the surface-level empowerment. Because let’s be honest… it’s easy to feel powerful when things are flowing. But who are you when it’s uncomfortable? When you’re being seen? When your old identity no longer fits... but your new one isn’t fully embodied yet? I’m joined by Anouk Kral, high-end brand activator and identity expander, and together we explore the real work behind stepping into your next level. This conversation unpacks: * Why owning your greatness is an identity shift, not a strategy * The hidden gap between who you are now and who you’re becoming * How self-worth shows up in your relationships, business, and visibility * The trap of seeking validation, and what it actually takes to move beyond it * Why embodiment, standards, and capacity matter more than “doing more” * How to expand your identity in real, tangible ways (yes, even through something as simple as how you show up or dress) We also explore powerful real-life examples (from relationships to business dynamics) that show what it actually looks like to stand in your value without needing external approval. This is a conversation for the woman who is done settling for “fine”… and is ready to take up space, be seen, and lead from her truth. Even when it stretches her. Because your next level isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about having the courage to fully be who you already are.

episode New Level, Same Devil: Rewriting the Stories That Keep You Playing Small (with Aviva Jewel) artwork

New Level, Same Devil: Rewriting the Stories That Keep You Playing Small (with Aviva Jewel)

What if owning your greatness isn’t about “arriving”… but about who you choose to be when the old stories come back? In this raw and honest conversation, I’m joined by Aviva Jewel to explore what it actually looks like to own your greatness in real time. Especially when self-doubt, old identities, and familiar patterns resurface right as you’re expanding. This episode dives into the first pillar of my work: owning your greatness, which is one of the core forces within my 5-Pointed Star Path. And we go beyond concepts into the lived, moment-to-moment embodiment of it. We explore the shift from being in the background to fully claiming your space, the fear of losing relatability as you rise, and why growth can feel like “new level, same devil” no matter how much inner work you’ve done. Inside this episode: * Why old stories resurface at every new level (and how to meet them differently) * The identity shift from support role to fully expressed leader * How you might be dimming your light to stay relatable * Practices to rewrite your internal narratives with awareness and compassion * What it really means to embody self-worth and lead from your truth If you’re done performing growth and ready to live your truth, this conversation will meet you there.
