Summary

Are you constantly chasing the next achievement, but still feel like it's never enough? Do you know deep down that "high-achieving" hustle is actually wearing you out? I’m kicking off the New Year, and I'm ready for more! But not more doing—more being. In this first episode of 2026, I'm peeling back the layers on how we, as high-achieving women, often confuse our drive with a deep-seated trauma response. That perfectionism? It's a mask. That performance-based identity? It's a stronghold, and we are dismantling it today! I’m sharing my personal journey and the truth I had to face: "High achieving is often a trauma response." This year, we are Trading Trauma Response for Trust! It's time to surrender control, trust God. Key Takeaways: Why high achievement can be a coping mechanism. The power in surrendering control and choosing trust. Practical ways to align your ambition with your faith. The antidote to the "perfectionism prism." Let's stop performing and start living on purpose! Share your biggest takeaway—or even your 'more' journey—and tag me @biancajuarezofficial, so I can cheer you on and witness the fire God is setting in your life!

0:00.0	Sanjeeves just received a decent bonus. Nice work, Sanjeeve. He knows he could invest all of the money, but he's seen a new watch he likes. He's not worried. With his HSBC Premier bank account and access to their financial advice service, he can get a personalised plan for the future and know how much you can spend a day. Everything's Premier when your bank account is. Search HSBC Premier. HS.SBC UK, opening up a world of opportunity.
0:23.1	For financial advice, you need minimum £100,000. Other criteria and fees apply. Financial and other
0:27.6	eligibility criteria apply for HSBC Premier. It's about time because we're going there.
0:35.4	Happy New Year's podcast family. I am your host, Bianca Wattis, and if this is the first time that you are joining us on we're going there in this new year, let me welcome you to these here parts.
0:46.0	I am so excited about what we are diving into this year. I'll be honest with you. I have been talking about a project that I haven't actually been working on because last year
0:54.7	got the best of me. But if you missed last month's episode, it was our Word for the Year episode
1:01.3	and I was able to share with our podcast community that my word for the year was more.
1:05.8	And not like more blessing, more favor, but more along the lines of too much is given,
1:12.5	much more is required.
1:17.2	And this year, I'm working on my very next book. And there's a couple of things I've been mulling over. And the podcast community, I'm committed to this year, giving in the moment,
1:23.8	live and direct, what I'm processing thoughts. And I want to share with you kind of what is being
1:28.8	revealed to me. I hope it's going to be an ad benefit. I know that the conversations that come out
1:34.1	of this podcast and other communities are a blessing to others. And so I pray and my hope is that in our
1:39.5	time together, this little sneak peek episode is going to give you a glimpse of where we're going.
1:44.9	And I hope that there's practical handles and ways for you to grow further, faster, and farther as we head
1:49.3	into 2026. If you are new here, a little bit about me as I hail from the great state of California.
1:55.7	I bring a little bit of Caribbean sasson and a little bit of Mexican salsa because my mom is
2:00.6	Puerto Rican
2:01.0	and my dad is Mexican. So up in these here parts, we talk fast. We have a good time. It might
2:06.5	get a little loud. And sometimes I say inappropriate things. But if you don't know me,
2:10.6	I am also a pastor of an amazing church community called Revere in Orange County, California.
2:14.7	And when I'm a pastor, I have to be on my best behavior. But in these
