40: Unleashing You - How I Turned a Dream Into a Book - And a Movement

Final Episode: Why I'm pressing pause (and what's coming next)

Hey friend—this isn’t a typical episode. Today, I’m sharing a personal and powerful update: I’ve decided to pause the podcast. This decision didn’t come from burnout or fear. It came from deep alignment, a quiet meditation moment, and one very clear whisper: “Pause the podcast.” If you’ve been part of this journey, you know that Unleashing You has always been about honoring your truth, trusting the timing, and creating a life that feels like your own. So this pause? It’s part of my own next chapter. I’m making space for the next big vision—one that includes in-person interviews, full video episodes, and maybe even a podcast tour. This isn’t the end. It’s the exhale before the next inhale. Thank you for being here, and thank you for believing in the magic we’re building together. I’ll be back—and it’s going to be so good. 🆓 Book your FREE 1:1 Discovery Session with me: https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/discovery [https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/discovery] 🤩 Sign up for my Stand Alone 1:1 Private Coaching Session: https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/standalone [https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/standalone] 🔥 Sign up for my Private Coaching, Transforming You: https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/transformingyou [https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/transformingyou] ❤️ Let's be Instagram friends @amandariffee_coaching [https://www.instagram.com/amandariffee_coaching/] Head to the Show Notes: https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/finale [https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/finale] PS Are you finding this podcast useful?

43. Rebel & Rise: Meg Trucano’s Framework for Confidence Through Big Life Change

In this episode, I’m joined by confidence coach Meg Trucano—and let me tell you, this conversation is so much more than surface-level strategy. Meg walks us through her powerful REAL Change Framework (Rebel, Energize, Align, Leap) for navigating life transitions with clarity and courage. Whether you're standing at the edge of a career change, an identity shift, or a cross-country move, her insights will help you challenge the stories you've been carrying and step into your next chapter with purpose. We especially dive into the first stage of her framework—Rebel—which is all about uncovering the beliefs you didn’t even realize were shaping your decisions. We talk about how to rewrite the narrative, how to recognize when you’re living someone else’s version of success, and how to start honoring what you truly want. If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “Wait… is this even my voice, or someone else’s expectation?”—this episode will hit home. This conversation is real, raw, and full of tangible coaching insights. Meg shares client stories, mindset reframes, and the exact process she uses to help women rise in the middle of uncertainty. If you’re feeling pulled toward something more but don’t know where to begin—this is your invitation to trust the nudge, rebel a little, and rise a lot. 🆓 Book your FREE 1:1 Discovery Session with me: https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/discovery [https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/discovery] 🤩 Sign up for my Stand Alone 1:1 Private Coaching Session: https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/standalone [https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/standalone] 🔥 Sign up for my Private Coaching, Transforming You: https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/transformingyou [https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/transformingyou] ❤️ Let's be Instagram friends @amandariffee_coaching [https://www.instagram.com/amandariffee_coaching/] Head to the Show Notes: https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/episode43 [https://unleashing-you.captivate.fm/episode43] PS Are you finding this podcast useful?
