Creativity Isn’t a Talent, It’s a Pattern You Unlock | Leslie Grandy | Becoming Series

Every becoming starts with a moment. Not a dramatic shift, but a quiet realization that something you’ve believed might not be true. In this episode of the Delay the Binge™ Podcast, Pam Dwyer sits down with returning guest Leslie Grandy, former product executive at companies like Apple, Amazon, and T-Mobile, and author of Creative Velocity, to explore how creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving are not talents reserved for a few… but capacities we all have access to. Together, they unpack what it really means to become, and how the moments we question our identity are often the ones that shape it most. This conversation explores: • why creativity is actually problem-solving in disguise  • how curiosity becomes a professional superpower  • the role of agency in shaping your path  • what happens when you stop waiting for permission  • how AI can be a collaborator, not a replacement  • why ambiguity can be freeing instead of frightening  • the connection between becoming and self-trust  • how to stay open instead of defaulting back to old thinking And most importantly… 👉 how to recognize the moment where everything can change. Because becoming doesn’t happen all at once. It happens in the moment you see yourself differently.  🔗 CONNECT WITH LESLIE GRANDY Website [https://www.lesliegrandy.com/ ] 🔗 CONNECT WITH PAM DWYER Website [https://linktr.ee/PamDwyerSpeaker] Youtube Channel [https://www.youtube.com/@PamDwyerSpeaker] Book a call [https://calendly.com/pamdwyerpodcast/discovery-call] Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2436662/fan_mail/new] This is Delay the Binge™ Delay the Binge™ explores burnout, emotional patterns, Quiet Depletion, and the pause between impulse and action where real behavior change begins.

How High Achievers Burn Out (And the Small Shift That Changes Everything) with Erin Treacy | Becoming Series

Burnout doesn’t happen all at once. It builds quietly, through patterns we don’t question, signals we ignore, and moments we move through too quickly. In this episode, Pam Dwyer talks with leadership coach Erin Treacy about what really drives burnout in high performers, and why the most important moment isn’t the burnout itself, but the moment right before the automatic response. Erin shares her personal experience managing multiple businesses, raising a blended family, and pushing through physical warning signs her body used to force her to stop. Together, they explore how small, intentional pauses create clarity, shift behavior patterns, and lead to sustainable success. 🔗 Connect with Erin Treacy: Website: https://coacherintreacy.com [https://coacherintreacy.com] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-treacy/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-treacy/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coacherintreacy [https://www.facebook.com/coacherintreacy] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coacherintreacy [https://www.instagram.com/coacherintreacy] Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2436662/fan_mail/new] This is Delay the Binge™ Delay the Binge™ explores burnout, emotional patterns, Quiet Depletion, and the pause between impulse and action where real behavior change begins.

Why You Still Feel Exhausted (Even When You’re Doing Everything Right) |Jessica Van Antoine | Becoming Series

Burnout doesn’t happen all at once. It builds quietly… until your body forces you to listen. In this episode of the Delay the Binge Podcast Becoming Series, Pam Dwyer sits down with functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner Jessica Van Antoine to explore the moment everything changed, when pushing through stopped working, and listening became the only way forward. This conversation goes beyond mindset. It’s about the body. The signals. And the moment you realize something deeper needs your attention. You’ll learn: • The early burnout signals most women ignore  • Why your body is like a “bank account” (and what happens when it’s depleted)  • How high-performing women unknowingly push themselves into imbalance  • Why habits like sugar, caffeine, or overworking are signals—not failures  • The connection between gut health, hormones, and emotional patterns  • How to pause long enough to understand what your body is asking for This is a Becoming conversation. The moment where awareness replaces force…and you begin to shift from pushing through → to supporting yourself differently. Because the goal isn’t to do more.  It’s to become someone who listens sooner. 🔗 Connect with Jessica Van Antoine If this conversation resonated, you can learn more about Jessica’s work here: 🌐 Website: https://phoenixfunctionalhealth.com/ [https://phoenixfunctionalhealth.com/] 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-van-antoine-fdnp/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-van-antoine-fdnp/] 🎙️ Stay Connected with Pam ✨ Podcast + resources: https://DelayTheBingePodcast.com  📩 Join the newsletter: https://newsletter.delaythebinge.com/  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2436662/fan_mail/new] This is Delay the Binge™ Delay the Binge™ explores burnout, emotional patterns, Quiet Depletion, and the pause between impulse and action where real behavior change begins.

From Why Me to Watch Me | Christina Hepner | Becoming Series

Every becoming begins with a moment. A moment where your body, identity, or plans no longer cooperate. A moment where the question becomes… why me? In this episode of The Becoming Series on Delay the Binge™, Pam Dwyer sits down with Christina Hepner, award-winning journalist and keynote speaker, to talk about the moment that changed everything. At 19, Christina woke up unable to move her arm. Days later, pain spread throughout her body. Eventually, she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. But the hardest part wasn’t the diagnosis. It was pretending she was okay. Trying to keep up. Trying to fit in. Trying to be who she thought she should be while quietly struggling underneath. Until one quiet moment changed direction. Not a dramatic breakthrough, just small intentional choices. One walk. One pause. One decision to care for herself. And eventually… a shift from: not “Why me?” but “Watch me.” In this conversation we explore: • Losing identity and rebuilding from the inside out • How quiet depletion can exist beneath high functioning • Why stillness is sometimes the first step forward • Small choices that create meaningful change • How pain shapes empathy, leadership, and resilience Because becoming isn’t about changing everything overnight. It’s about what you do in the moment everything inside you wants to quit. 🔗 Connect with Christina Hepner https://www.christinahepner.com/ [https://www.christinahepner.com/] https://www.linkedin.com/in/thechristinahepner/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/thechristinahepner/] https://www.instagram.com/thechristinahepner [https://www.instagram.com/thechristinahepner] Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2436662/fan_mail/new] This is Delay the Binge™ Delay the Binge™ explores burnout, emotional patterns, Quiet Depletion, and the pause between impulse and action where real behavior change begins.
