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

"You can't talk about living your best life without talking about money and you can't talk about money without facing what you're afraid to feel."
 
 In this episode, Heather sits down with Tess Waresmith for a powerful and emotionally honest conversation about death, money, and the stories we carry around both. From end-of-life planning to modern parenting and breaking financial cycles, they dig into what it really means to be resourced. Not just financially, but emotionally too.
 
 Whether you're navigating aging parents, raising kids, or running a business, this conversation will challenge you to take radical responsibility for your future and give you a compassionate push to finally look at what you've been avoiding.
 
 ✨Why emotional capacity and financial literacy go hand in hand and how to build both
 ✨The psychology of money: avoidance, anxiety, identity, and invisible labor
 ✨How to teach kids financial independence without over-rescuing or enabling
 
 This one's for the woman carrying it all - past, present, and future, finally ready to take her power back.

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.
