Becoming Who You’re Meant to Be: Purpose, Identity, and Ancestral Roots with Leslie Avila (Part 1)

Unhealed Trauma & Collective Pain: Healing Relational Trauma & cPTSD with Kathleen Hoagland

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2387255/fan_mail/new]  In this powerful episode of Get Set With Lissette, we explore the connection between personal trauma and collective pain with licensed trauma therapist Kathleen Hoagland, who specializes in relational trauma, nervous system healing, and Complex PTSD (cPTSD).  Kathleen supports individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, numb, or disconnected as they navigate grief, identity shifts, parenting-triggered trauma responses, religious trauma, burnout in high-stress professions, and midlife transitions. Her trauma-informed approach integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), somatic therapy, mindfulness practices, self-compassion work, and parts-informed therapy to help people better understand their nervous systems and make sense of their stories.  Together, we unpack what happens inside our bodies and minds when communities experience repeated exposure to grief, conflict, uncertainty, and injustice — including reflections connected to recent protests and community stress in Minnesota — and why healing is not only individual work, but community work.  ✨ This episode helps you understand trauma more deeply — not just as something dramatic or obvious, but as something relational, embodied, and often invisible. It explores how the pain we carry internally connects to what we witness externally — and how compassion, awareness, and nervous system regulation support resilience.   In this conversation, we explore:  • What relational trauma and cPTSD really are — and how they differ from what most people think of as trauma  • How trauma shows up in parents, caregivers, high achievers, first responders, and midlife identity shifts  • The psychological impact of witnessing repeated community stress, protests, and public conflict  • How news cycles and uncertainty affect our nervous systems — even when we’re not directly involved  • The connection between attachment injuries, identity, and long-standing emotional patterns  • How EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation support trauma recovery  • Why self-compassion is one of the most powerful tools for healing  • How individual healing creates ripple effects across families, workplaces, and communities   ✨ This episode reminds us:  Healing isn’t linear — but it is possible. Trauma isn’t always dramatic — it’s often relational and invisible. And our internal emotional worlds are deeply connected to what’s happening around us.  If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by what’s happening in the world, confused by emotional patterns you couldn’t quite explain, or curious about how trauma lives in the body and relationships, this conversation will help you feel seen, informed, and supported. 💛   Connect with Kathleen Hoagland  YouTube | @KathleenHoaglandLPC  Instagram | @khoaglandtherapy  Specialty | Relational trauma, nervous system healing, and complex PTSD support   Connect with Your Host, Lissette  IG | @get_setwith_lissette  Podcast IG | @getsetwithlissette_podcast  Email | getsetwithlissette@gmail.com    ✨ Sending light.

From Hustle to Alignment: How I Changed My Relationship With Work | Get Set With Lissette

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2387255/open_sms] In this solo episode of Get Set With Lissette, we explore how to break free from hustle culture, avoid burnout, and build a healthier, purpose-driven relationship with work. If you’ve ever tied your worth to productivity, felt pressure to constantly achieve, or struggled to rest without guilt — this episode is for you. Hustle culture teaches us that productivity equals value. But research from the American Psychological Association and leading workplace studies shows that chronic overwork often leads to burnout, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and decreased life satisfaction. There is another way. In this episode, I share my personal journey of shifting from hustle mentality to aligned living — redefining success, setting boundaries, honoring my energy, and building sustainable fulfillment. You’ll learn: • What hustle culture really is and how it impacts your mental health  • The warning signs of burnout and emotional exhaustion  • What alignment means in your career and daily life  • How to conduct a personal values audit  • The power of energy mapping and intention-setting  • Why boundaries and rest are strategic, not selfish  • How to move from comparison and busyness to conviction and presence This episode blends psychology research on work mindset with practical tools and guided reflection, so you walk away with both clarity and actionable strategies. Because alignment isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing what matters most. ✨ If you’re ready to create a sustainable rhythm in your work and life, redefine success on your terms, and build confidence without burnout, press play.

Becoming Who You’re Meant to Be: Purpose, Identity, and Ancestral Roots with Leslie Avila (Part 1)

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2387255/open_sms] In this powerful episode of Get Set With Lissette, I sit down with Leslie Avila — owner of Delightfull Tea, co-founder of Raíces Creativas, creative visionary, and community storyteller — who is courageously redefining what it means to live in alignment with purpose, identity, culture, and ancestral truth. This episode dives deep into purpose, identity, cultural roots, self-discovery, risk-taking, and personal growth — and the courage it takes to listen when your life begins to whisper toward change. Purpose is not a destination; it is a relationship we build with ourselves over time, and Leslie beautifully shares what it looks like to live in that space of becoming. ✨ We explore what happens when you truly listen to your inner call, honor where you come from, and take bold steps without having every answer. Leslie opens up about reconnecting with her Indigenous ancestry, the evolution of her work through Delightfull Tea and Raíces Creativas, and the deeply personal journey that is now leading her to Ecuador. She shares how identity, culture, and courage have shaped her path — and how purpose often reveals itself in motion rather than certainty. In this episode, we unpack: * What “purpose” looks like in different seasons of life * How identity and ancestry shape direction and self-worth * The difference between alignment and familiarity * Courage vs. comfort — and choosing which voice to follow * Preparing emotionally, spiritually, and mentally for transformation * How risk, faith, and becoming work together * Support for anyone feeling disconnected from identity or purpose 🔥 If you’re navigating change, healing your story, or searching for clarity, this conversation reminds you that purpose often whispers before it shouts — and you are allowed to listen. ⚠️ This is Part 1 of our conversation.

🎆 Not a Resolution, a Direction | New Year’s Special | Get Set With Lissette 🎆

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2387255/open_sms]  Welcome to a New Year’s special solo episode of Get Set With Lissette, a podcast dedicated to inspiring conversations that empower you to get set. This episode is an invitation to begin the year with reflection, intention, and alignment — without the pressure to become someone entirely new.  The New Year often brings expectations of bold resolutions, drastic reinvention, and audacious goals that don’t always honor where we truly are. In this episode, we slow the pace and shift the narrative. Instead of “New Year, New Me,” we focus on purpose over pressure, alignment over perfection, and the reminder that real growth doesn’t require a complete reset — it requires honesty, compassion, and intention.  🎆 Did you know? The tradition of New Year’s resolutions dates back over 4,000 years to ancient Babylon, where resolutions were rooted in spiritual realignment — not hustle, productivity, or comparison. Somewhere along the way, intention became performance. This episode brings the focus back to what truly matters.  💭 In this episode, we explore: • “New Year, New Me” vs. “Same Me, Just More Aligned” • Why New Year’s resolutions often fail (and it’s not about discipline) • Choosing a Word of the Year instead of rigid goals • Reflecting on the past year without shame or guilt • Letting go of pressure and embracing intentional growth • Mental health check-ins at the start of the year • Why becoming is more powerful than starting over  🌱 This episode is for you if: • New Year pressure feels heavy or overwhelming • You want to be intentional without burning out • You’re craving purpose instead of perfection • You believe alignment matters more than appearance  ✨ Affirmation from this episode: I enter this year with intention, compassion, and trust in who I am becoming.  You don’t need a new identity this year — just deeper alignment with who you already are.  👉 Call to Action: • Listen to the full episode • Subscribe to Get Set With Lissette for more intentional conversations • Share this episode with someone navigating New Year pressure • Reflect on your Word of the Year or one intention you’re setting  🎙️ Get Set With Lissette Inspiring conversations that empower you to get set.  Sending light. Sending love. 💫🎆
