What if your anxiety, self-doubt, or inner critic wasn’t the enemy—but a misunderstood messenger? This week on Soulful Selfcare Conversations, I sit down with the incredible Brittni Cosgrove, a transformational life coach who helps high achievers rewire their subconscious, heal from the inside out, and create a magnetic life aligned with their truth.

We dive deep into the mindset work no one talks about, how to recognize the voice of your inner critic without letting it run the show, and why emotional safety is the missing piece in your journey to peace and power. Whether you’re a recovering people-pleaser, navigating motherhood, or ready to stop performing and start embodying your worth—this one’s for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• Brittni’s SHERO story and how 2020 changed everything
  
  
• The truth about subconscious beliefs and how they hold us back
  
  
• Simple ways to regulate your nervous system and reclaim peace
  
  
• How to shift from survival to self-trust
  
  
• The life-changing power of stillness and tuning in
  
  
• Why your inner critic might actually be trying to help

You don’t need to be fearless to be heard—you just need to be willing. In this powerful episode of Soulful Selfcare, I’m joined by Leslie Fiorenzo, a woman who turned her early failures in public speaking into a decades-long journey of impact, courage, and clarity. Leslie’s warmth and wisdom light the way for women who are ready to stop silencing themselves and start standing in their truth.

We talk about everything from navigating corporate life to handling difficult conversations with grace, and how every woman has a story worth telling—even if her voice shakes when she starts. Whether you’ve been afraid to speak up in meetings, want to be a better communicator in relationships, or dream of sharing your story on stage, this episode is a gentle (but fierce!) nudge toward your next level.

In this episode, we dive into:

• How Leslie turned a failed speech contest into a public speaking career
  
  
• Why finding your voice is key to healing and growth
  
  
• The hidden power of difficult conversations
  
  
• What keeps women silent—and how to reclaim your confidence
  
  
• Tools for communicating with clarity and authenticity
  
  
  
• How to stop fearing judgment and start embracing your unique story
