The Art of Badassery: Returning to Your True Nature with Lena Milosevic

#100 The Edge of Expansion

Growth, emotional capacity, and nervous system regulation aren't separate conversations—they're the reason so many people retreat just as life begins to expand. In this episode, Mahara explores why your next level often feels unsafe before it ever feels empowering. The moment everything you've been working toward starts becoming real is often the moment your nervous system mistakes expansion for danger. Instead of moving forward, you overthink, create unnecessary chaos, or slip back into familiar patterns that feel safer but keep you small. The cost isn't a lack of potential. It's leaving your future because your body doesn't yet know how to stay there. What if the discomfort you're trying to escape isn't a warning at all? What if it's evidence that your capacity is being asked to grow instead of your dreams being asked to shrink? This episode will change how you recognize the edge between self-protection and self-sabotage—and what becomes possible when you stop retreating from it.

#99 Confidence Isn't the Goal

Most people think confidence is the missing piece behind self-trust, leadership, and personal growth. In this episode, Mahara challenges that assumption and explores why emotional confidence may be the very thing keeping you stuck. If you've been waiting to feel ready before making a decision, taking a risk, speaking up, or stepping into a bigger version of yourself, you're not alone. Many high-achieving women have been conditioned to treat confidence as proof they're prepared. The problem is that confidence comes and goes, which means your power ends up tied to your emotional state. The real shift isn't learning how to feel more confident. It's learning how to expand your capacity to hold discomfort, uncertainty, visibility, and growth without abandoning yourself. This conversation exposes the hidden cost of chasing confidence and reveals the question that creates a completely different relationship with fear, leadership, and self-trust.

#98 You’re Not Strong — You’re Overfunctioning

Overfunctioning, hyper-responsibility, and emotional exhaustion often hide behind what looks like strength. In this episode of Mindfucks With Mahara, we explore why being the one who always handles everything may be costing you more than you realize. You’re dependable. Capable. The person everyone counts on. But what happens when your identity becomes tied to carrying more than you should? Overfunctioning can feel powerful, even admirable, until you realize it was never strength. It was survival. This episode dismantles the addiction to being the strong one and exposes the hidden disconnect between competence and capacity. Because constantly holding everything together can keep you far from support, softness, and the truth of what you actually need. If you've built your life around being needed, this conversation may challenge more than your habits. It may challenge who you believe you have to be.

#97 Surprise: This Is You

When pressure hits, most people assume something is wrong with them. They question their confidence, their capability, or whether they’re really ready for the level they say they want. If you’ve ever struggled with self-trust, leadership under pressure, or expanding your emotional capacity, this episode offers a different lens. The moment things get hard, many people turn pressure into proof that they’re failing. They judge the wobble, resist the discomfort, and create even more internal tension trying to perform their way back to certainty. The cost is exhausting: you stay trapped in a cycle of proving instead of growing. What if pressure isn’t exposing your weakness? What if it’s revealing exactly what hasn’t been trained yet? In this Capacity Expansion episode, Mahara explores why pressure is information, not condemnation, and how the moments that unsettle you often reveal the next edge of your growth. Once you see what pressure is actually showing you, you can’t unsee it.

The Art of Badassery: Returning to Your True Nature with Lena Milosevic In this episode of The Art of Badassery, Mahara sits down with Lena Milosevic, a transformational coach and healer whose work blends business, energy healing, yoga, meditation, and intuitive wisdom.

Together, Mahara and Lena explore intuition, inner criticism, judgment, life transitions, and the subtle ways women disconnect from themselves while trying to become “better.” This episode is for the woman who is tired of performing, overthinking, and fixing herself — and is ready to pause, get curious, and begin returning to herself with more honesty, softness, and trust. Lena Milosevic is a transformational coach, healer, yoga and meditation teacher, and founder of Tidal Flow Women’s Festival. With warmth, humour, and a sharp eye for BS, she helps women peel back roles, expectations, and self-judgment so they can reconnect with their authentic way of being and bring their heart’s desires to life.
