In this powerful episode of The Journey of Becoming, Karrie Mitten sits down with Tammy Magnuson, founder of Reset with Tammy, to explore how understanding your brain can completely transform the way you experience stress, emotions, and healing. Tammy shares her deeply personal journey from navigating an intense custody battle and miscarriage to discovering neuroscience-based techniques that helped her release overwhelming stress and regain control of her emotional state. What began as a search for relief became a life-changing realization: the stress she was experiencing wasn’t just coming from the outside, it was being created and repeated within her own brain. This realization led Tammy to dive deeper into the science of how the brain stores patterns, emotions, and memories—and how those patterns can be interrupted and rewired.

Together, Karrie and Tammy explore the shift from feeling like life is happening to you to understanding how your internal responses shape your reality—and how that awareness becomes the foundation for true change. What you will learn 1. Why stress is often created and reinforced internally, not just externally 2. How the brain forms emotional patterns and why it repeats them 3. What it means to “unlink” stress from your body and reactions 4. How interrupting emotional patterns can quickly shift your state 5. Why your brain updates memories—and how to use that to your advantage 6. The connection between subconscious programming and your daily experiences 7. A simple but powerful tool: interrupt and redirect your emotional patterns Whether you’re feeling stuck in recurring emotional cycles, overwhelmed by stress, or simply curious about how your mind works, this episode will give you a new perspective—and practical tools—to begin creating change from within.

In this powerful episode of The Journey of Becoming, Karrie Mitten sits down with Anna Felix, Smart Money Strategist and founder of a financial practice designed specifically for women entrepreneurs, professionals, and business owners. Anna helps women create financial strategies that align with their goals, protect their families, and build long term financial confidence. Anna’s journey into financial strategy was not something she planned. After a devastating car accident left her husband and daughter with traumatic brain injuries, years of medical care drained their financial resources. When her husband later passed away, Anna found herself starting over at 42 with overwhelming debt and very little guidance on how to rebuild. When she sought help from financial advisors, she was told she was not an ideal client and was even advised to “marry a rich man.” Instead of accepting that narrative, Anna chose a different path. She began a deep study of financial systems, tax strategies, and wealth building tools so she could rebuild her own life and eventually help other women avoid the same painful experience. Today, Anna supports women navigating financial uncertainty, life transitions, divorce, or widowhood by helping them create clear financial plans and build confidence around money. Her work empowers women to take ownership of their financial future so they can live with greater security, freedom, and peace of mind. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN 1. How life’s most difficult challenges can become a catalyst for purpose 2. Why many women feel unprepared when it comes to financial decision making 3. The importance of having open financial conversations within families 4. How mindset shifts can transform your relationship with money 5.

Why staying curious and committed to learning is essential for growth If you have ever felt uncertain about money, overwhelmed by financial decisions, or unsure where to begin when planning for the future, this episode will remind you that it is never too late to learn, rebuild, and take ownership of your financial path.
