Bréne Brown

Hosted by Heather Chauvin | Insights inspired by Mel Robbins

All external pressure is off ladies! It's time to listen to the inner pull. Mastering the art of knowing when to slow down and breathe vs. when to take action. It's time we value our desires. See your value. Own it. Communicate it. It's time to become wildly #emotionallyuncomfortable
This podcast will crack you open and force you to grow. Interviews and storytelling about business, emotional intelligence, creativity, love, being different, parenting, and more...

Emotionally Uncomfortable

"I understand that if I'm too comfortable, it's time to grow. Because if I'm not growing, I'm dying. And if I'm dying, I'm going to live a miserable life."
 
In this episode, Heather reflects on three big lessons she's learned over the last 12 years since her cancer diagnosis, exploring the significance of facing fears, recognizing triggers as opportunities for growth, and the importance of self-reflection in embracing a fulfilling life. This conversation isn't about recounting the many challenges she faced during healing; it's about celebrating and learning to live more fully. Because the truth is, most of us are keeping ourselves so busy we can't experience growth, leaving us in a perpetual state of survival. 
 
This conversation encourages us all to move past chronic suffering and to realise that we're not dead yet, so let's focus on feeling alive and energized while we're still here.
 
What to listen for:
 
✨ Leaning into your stories and the impact you want to make
 ✨ Understanding that suffering isn't living, and you're not dead yet
 ✨ The reason why so many people live like the walking dead
 
"There's a huge difference between being emotionally uncomfortable and working through fear and resistance. That chronic suffering, chronic pain, isn't living, and you're not dead yet. So you need to learn how to feel alive and energized while you're still alive."
 
✨ Why it's essential to understand the feeling that you're chasing
 ✨ How Heather moved through the terror and the story that she was going to die
 ✨ The importance of becoming the adult that you needed as a child
 
"I had to face my fear of death in order to learn how to face my fear of living. I had to train myself to run towards how I wanted to feel. That was scary to me because I had no evidence, but it started me on this catalyst of curiosity."
 
✨ Why the people triggering you the most are your greatest teachers
 ✨ How to keep triggers from dictating your connections
 ✨ The importance of taking responsibility for how you want to feel

1242: 3 Ways We Make Life Shorter Than It Needs to Be (And How to Change It)

"When resistance is coming up, it's just trying to show you something, and it's an area in your life that can be healed, that can stretch you, that can put you in a position and in an opportunity for you to step into what's next for you." 
 
In this episode, Heather sits down with Tracy Matthews to dig into how we master resistance, find the courage to move toward our big visions, and cultivate a more profound sense of trust in ourselves and the universe. Whether it's navigating health issues, parenting children, or building a business, we all bump into those uncomfortable subconscious blocks and stories that keep us stuck. In this conversation, Heather and Tracy share their own experiences overcoming fear, resistance, and failures, along with powerful insights into what it takes to conquer them.
 
What to listen for:
 
✨ Choosing yourself and "leaning in" to master resistance
 ✨ Why resistance is a moment to pause and question what it's doing for you
 ✨ How to dissolve resistance when it inevitably comes up
 
"In the practice of just putting it out there and butting up against that resistance, you actually dissolve and dissipate the feeling because resistance is your body, mind, and subconscious trying to keep you from stepping into what's next for you or to a bigger capacity." 
 
✨ Putting yourself out there and facing the fear of rejection
 ✨ How to be your own cheerleader and move through resistance
 ✨ The identity shifts that come up when we lean in new directions
 
"If you resist it, that's literally the next door you should probably open. And if you want to buy back so much of your time and energy, open the doors that you're absolutely terrified to open, because that's going to buy back so much of your energy."
 
✨ Navigating the hidden shame that comes with setting big goals
 ✨ The power of pivoting and "failing" when it's aligned
 ✨ Trusting that the universe will show you the way forward
 
"Sometimes you just have to sit in that discomfort, in that resistance, in that space of not knowing, knowing that if you trust yourself enough, the answer is going to drop in."
 
✨ Understanding your intuitive 'yes' and 'no' when making decisions
 ✨ Using resentment to uncover your boundaries
 ✨ Why business is the biggest crash course in personal development

1238: From Breadwinner Burnout to Feeling Calm and Spacious

"A well-resourced woman will change the world. But first, she has to stop outsourcing her financial power."
 
This episode goes deep into the emotional discomfort that comes with money: how we manage it, avoid it, fear it, and finally take ownership of it.
 
Heather is joined by financial educator Kimberly Tara for an eye-opening conversation that covers everything from entrepreneurship and emotional labor to parenting, power dynamics in partnerships, and the toxic myth that women just "aren't money people."
 
Together they unravel the invisible stories that keep women stuck and explore the practical and emotional skills we need to truly experience wealth, safety, and freedom.
 
🩶 Why financial literacy is the missing piece in your personal power
 
🩶 The link between energy leaks and cash flow (and how to fix both)
 
🩶 How to teach kids about money while unlearning your own conditioning
 
This is the financial truth-telling session every emotionally uncomfortable woman needs.

1234: Reclaim 10 Hours: How to Put Your Soul Back on the Calendar

"It's not our job to remove every obstacle from our children's path. It's our job to walk with them through it."
 
In this conversation, Heather sits down with Alyssa Black Campbell, author of Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, for a powerful discussion on emotional safety, nervous system regulation, and what kids really need to thrive at home and in the classroom.
 
They explore the myth of middle childhood being the "easiest" phase, how trauma-informed education changes lives, and why parenting is deeply personal, emotional, and yes sometimes selfish.
 
🩶What happens when we stop trying to fix every feeling and instead teach our kids how to feel them
 
🩶Why understanding your child's unique nervous system is the key to emotional regulation
 
🩶How to support educators, avoid reactive parenting, and reframe "bad behavior" as unmet needs
 
This is a deeply validating conversation for anyone raising, teaching, or mentoring kids and especially those navigating the messiness of big feelings.
