#66 How to Reduce Anxiety Without Avoiding Everything Hard
DAY 5 of the Stop the Spiral Challenge 🔥 Today we're talking about the fear spiral almost no one admits out loud — the "What if…?" spiral. "What if my child falls behind?" "What if I ruined them?" "What if something terrible happens?" "What if I can't hold it all together?" Culture gives us two unhelpful answers: 1️⃣ "Eh, that'll never happen, don't worry about it." 2️⃣ "You're anxious, poor you — avoid anything that feels hard." Both keep you small. Both keep you scared. Both keep you spiraling. But there's a third way. A leadership mindset that says: 👉 "What if? … So what. If that happened, here's what I would do." 👉 Face the fear. 👉 Make a plan. 👉 Become the person who could handle it. In this session, you'll learn: ✨ Why minimizing or coddling anxiety doesn't actually help ✨ The mindset shift that breaks catastrophic thinking ✨ The 3 tools to stop "future fear spirals" " ✨ How to turn worst-case scenarios into leadership plans ✨ How to build the identity of a parent who can handle ANYTHING This is not about ignoring fear. It's about becoming stronger than it.

#65 When You Think You're Failing — Start Here
Today we're breaking one of the most painful spirals: the moments you fall short, lose patience, shut down, or react in ways you regret — and suddenly your brain whispers, "You're failing." Modern culture gives women two unhelpful responses: 1️⃣ Over-sympathy culture — "Lower your standards," "Be gentle," "Just accept yourself." 2️⃣ Shame culture — "Good mothers never snap," "You ruined everything," "This is abuse." Both extremes keep you stuck. One says nothing is your responsibility. The other says everything is your fault. There is a third way. Today we'll learn how to use guilt as guidance, not punishment — a built-in compass that brings you back to your values, your leadership, and the mother and woman you actually want to be. Inside the session: • The two cultural traps keeping women stuck • How shame sabotages growth • How guilt can act like a GPS pulling you back on track • How to come back from a mistake with clarity and strength • How to repair, reset, and realign — without perfection 👇 Ready to built true mental toughness and be strong against anything life has to throw at you - go deep with me inside ALCHEMIZE https://hifam.com/alchemize

#64 You're Drowning in Mental Load — Here's How to Get Air
STOP THE SPIRAL — Day 3: The "Too Much" Spiral Why does everything feel like it's too much? Too many needs, too many tabs open, too many things only YOU seem to remember? Today we're breaking the "mental load myth" wide open — the belief that you have no choice, everything depends on you, and the only options are Superwoman or Bitter Martyr. No one chained you to the kitchen sink. You do have choices — even if they're imperfect ones. In this workshop, I'll show you: • why unconscious yeses create overload • how culture trained women to see themselves as victims of the mental load • why resentment grows when you believe you have "no choice" • how to reclaim your agency with clearer choices, boundaries, and leadership • how to delegate without guilt and simplify without shame You'll leave today feeling lighter, clearer, and more in control of your energy and your home. 👉 Want the worksheet for today?

#63 Tired of Doing It All Yourself? Watch This Before You Burn Out
STOP THE SPIRAL — Training 2: The Let-Down Spiral Today we're tackling one of the biggest sources of resentment in motherhood: when the people you love let you down. Your partner forgets something, your child ignores a request, your in-law makes a comment—and suddenly you're spiraling. In this workshop, I'll show you why nagging doesn't work, why doing everything yourself makes things worse, and why neither option actually solves the problem. You'll learn the third way: keeping your standards high while lowering resentment and raising collaboration. We'll talk about the cultural trap of labeling everyone "toxic," the real reason you feel alone in your home, and how to step into the leadership your family needs—without becoming the angry parent or the exhausted martyr.
