Summary

"I don't have to fall into the drama and the nonsense and everything else, and I can take all the amazing things I'm learning and come into a new season."

For many women, being "good" means holding everything together for everyone else. But at some point, the question begins to surface: When did good enough become good enough? In this episode, Heather and Laurie Wintonick explore what it really looks like to grow into the next version of yourself without blowing up the life you've built. From letting go of guilt and redefining what it means to be a "good woman," to navigating the tension that comes when others don't support your evolution, this conversation is about choosing yourself with intention. Because when you stop abandoning your own desires and start honoring what you truly want, you don't just change your life, you become the version of yourself you were always meant to be.

What to listen for:

✨ What it really means to "be a good woman" without abandoning yourself
✨ The importance of asking yourself, "When did good enough become good enough?"
✨ Figuring out what you really want and getting unstuck without blowing up your life

"I wanted to be able to be professional and have a career while also being an amazing mom, and I don't feel like you have to decide one or the other. You can absolutely a thousand percent do both, but you have to be really intentional about it."

✨ Prioritizing what's important and leveling up your life in the process
✨ Navigating the tension when other peopledon't support your growth journey
✨ Are you being blocked, or are you refusing to take a stand for how you want to feel?

"If I want to do something, I'm gonna go do what I want to do because at the end of the day, the only person I'm hurting by not doing it is me. And if I'm hurting myself, then in reality, I'm not the best version of myself, so everybody's gonna suffer because of that." 

✨ Letting go of guilt because women are allowed to give themselves permission
✨ The more you grow, the more you realize who's actually in your corner
✨ How doing the work brings you to the person you're here to be

There's always going to be people who try to kick your legs out from underneath you or,

you know, play the friend to your face, but are doing everything they can behind you to kind

of plan your downfall. And that was really a hard lesson to go through. But it also gave me

0:20.4

the strength to say, I can rise above all of this.

I don't have to fall into the drama and the nonsense and everything else. And I can take all of the

amazing things that I'm learning and drop all the other stuff and come into a new season of my life. And that was really for me

0:42.4

was like this awakening of this true person. I am enough. I don't need anybody's validation,

0:48.4

approval, permission. I know without a doubt that like I am everything I need to be in this moment. And when I find that

0:57.8

I'm lacking in something, I know without a doubt I can go find it and learn it and grow.

1:20.3

Have you ever had one of those moments where there's something inside of you that's just pulling at you? You can feel it. It is telling you like, not this, not this, not this. You know there's more. You just don't know how to

1:31.1

access it. I hear this from women all the time. And they are quote unquote successful on paper.

1:40.3

They've followed the rules. They're doing the damn things, and they know intuitively something is

1:46.9

off. This is what I call a breadcrumb. This is your intuition speaking to you. But here's the thing.

1:54.7

You haven't been taught how to listen to your intuition. You also haven't been taught how to like not self-abandon.

The average human is told that in order to grow and to thrive, they need to get educated

with skills. They need to get a job. They need to get a house. They need to raise a

2:22.4

family. And that is what cultural perception of success is. Only recently have people talked

2:28.9

about wellness and alignment or health. But here's the thing. You need to become like the owner of your own identity.

2:37.9

You have to become the owner of how you want to feel.

2:41.7

And ownership takes responsibility.

So I'm really excited to introduce you to Lori today.
