EPISODE 5: Why You're Stuck—Breaking the Cycle of Self-Sabotage, Perfectionism, and Procrastination

EPISODE 06: Breaking the Hormone Code: Cycle Syncing, PMS Solutions & Thriving as a Woman with Hannah B. Burton

In this episode I'm joined by the incredible Hannah B. Burton—nutritional therapist, NLP Master Practitioner, and menstrual cycle expert. Hannah shares her personal journey of discovering the importance of understanding and syncing with her menstrual cycle after years of being disconnected from her body. Despite her knowledge and healthy lifestyle, Hannah faced a life-threatening wake-up call when she was hospitalised with an ovarian cyst and pelvic inflammatory disease. Looking back, she had ignored the warning signs—bloating, spotting, debilitating pain, and irregular cycles—believing they were just "part of being a woman." Determined to prevent other women from suffering in silence, she became a certified Menstrual Cycle Coach, training with the world's first internationally recognised certification program. Millions of women today have their hormonal health overlooked, misunderstood, and dismissed. The need for a holistic approach to women's health has never been greater. This is why Hannah is dedicated to breaking the silence around hormonal health and ensuring women have access to the knowledge they were never taught. "My mission is to empower and educate women by providing them with the knowledge to navigate their hormones and the tools to optimise their body through nutrition, menstrual cycle syncing, and a positive mindset." Here's what we cover: * Why most women don't know what "normal" is when it comes to their hormones * The truth about tracking your menstrual cycle and why it's the foundation of everything * How to optimize your health and energy by syncing your food, lifestyle, and self-care to the phases of your cycle * The impact of stress, toxins, and our "do it all" culture on women's hormones * Practical tips to reduce common PMS symptoms like mood swings, bloating, and cramps * The power of mindset work in transforming your health and reclaiming your energy Hannah's holistic approach, the FEM Balance® Method combines food, emotions, and menstrual cycle awareness to help women go from surviving to thriving. She also shares her free cycle tracker resource and offers invaluable insights into creating your own modern-day "red tent rituals." This is a must-listen for any woman ready to take control of her hormones, reconnect with her body, and say f*ck yes to her health and well-being.

EPISODE 5: Why You're Stuck—Breaking the Cycle of Self-Sabotage, Perfectionism, and Procrastination

Have you ever felt stuck in a frustrating cycle—starting and stopping, doubting and dreaming, and wanting more but never quite getting there? Maybe it feels like you're getting in your own way, even though you deeply want to change. There's nothing wrong with you. You're not lazy, unmotivated, or broken. Your brain is clinging to old patterns, programming, and deeply rooted fears. And the good news? You can break free. In this episode, I break down: * What self-sabotage really is (hint: it's not your fault!) * Why your brain is wired to love what's familiar—even if it's keeping you stuck * The Fear Loop: how your brain keeps you in a cycle of procrastination and avoidance * Why perfectionism is self-sabotage in disguise—and how to ditch it for good * How to rewire your brain using science-backed strategies like neuroplasticity * My favorite mindset hack (spoiler alert: your brain is a dick) that brings lightness to the process * Actionable steps to build momentum, rewire your beliefs, and create lasting change This episode isn't just about uncovering why you're stuck—it's about giving you the tools and strategies to move forward with confidence. Action Steps from Today's Episode: 1. Interrupt the Fear Loop: Journal on what's triggering your fear, the story your brain is telling you, and one small action you can take to challenge it. 2. Ditch Perfectionism: Commit to taking messy, imperfect action. Progress, not perfection, is the goal. 3. Start Small: Break your goal into the tiniest possible step and just do that today. 4. Rewrite Your Rules: Identify one limiting belief, challenge it, and replace it with a new, empowering story. 5. Visualize Your Success: Spend 5 minutes imagining your goal as if it's already real—feel the emotions and see yourself taking action. Stay tuned for my upcoming course, Stop Holding Yourself Back: The 7-Day Break the Cycle Intensive! (DM me on Instagram @carli_louan for early access) Remember, you're not stuck—you're just in a pattern. And patterns? They can be changed. No more waiting, no more holding back. Let's break the cycle together. 🎙 Listen now, and take your first step toward freedom, confidence, and unstoppable momentum.

EPISODE 4: From Trauma to Triumph: EFT, Happy Habits & Building a Full-Body F*ck Yes Life with Rachel Welford

I sat down with the incredible Rachel Welford, a renowned EFT tapping practitioner, sound therapist, and mental health expert who's on a mission to help women reclaim their power over their minds and emotions. Rachel's story is nothing short of transformational—she's been through severe burnout, battled depression, anxiety, PTSD, and even navigated the complexities of neurodiversity. And guess what? She came out on the other side with a toolkit of powerful techniques to share. We dive DEEP into: * What EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is and how it can help you drop your stress hormone levels by up to 60% (there's science to back it up). * The connection between cravings, stress, and how EFT can literally rewire your brain to break free from patterns that no longer serve you. * Rachel's personal journey of overcoming trauma, her "coat of sand" analogy for depression (this hits hard), and how she built her Happy Habits to stay strong—even during one of the toughest years of her life. * The power triangle of stress (victim, rescuer, bully)—and how to escape it. * Why creating tiny, consistent habits (aka "well-being snacks") is more powerful than trying to overhaul your life overnight. * Rachel also drops some serious truth bombs on self-compassion, letting go of the need to "fix" yourself, and how to start focusing on what lights you up instead of what holds you back. Whether you're new to EFT, curious about creating your own Happy Habits, or just looking for that push to take control of your emotional well-being, this episode is your sign to start saying YES to yourself. 🎧 Tune in now and get ready to change your life, one tap at a time.
