The SPIRAL UP Podcast with Dr. LaChelle Wieme

I sat down with Erin Trier and she broke down why so many women hit their late thirties and feel like their body just stopped cooperating, even though nothing else in their routine changed.Erin is a functional health coach and mom of four who hit a wall around age 38. Everything she had always done to take care of herself stopped working, and she had no idea why. That experience led her to build the Empower Method, a framework for helping women figure out what their bodies actually need instead of following a one size fits all plan. We talked about the difference between capacity and capability, why women are cyclical beings who aren't built to run at 100 percent every day, and how the identity work matters just as much as the physical plan.This episode is for anyone who feels like their effort and their results stopped lining up.What you’ll understand:Why your health routine can suddenly stop working, even when nothing about your habits has changedThe difference between capacity and capability, and why mixing them up keeps you stuckThe four phase framework Erin uses to build a health plan that actually fits your bodyIf you've felt like you're pouring everything you have into your health and still not seeing it pay off, this conversation will help you understand why.👉 Episode Page:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/capacity-vs-capability-and-why-women-burn-out📩 Download the Manifesting Cheat Codehttps://iam-lifebydesign.com/cheatcode📅 Sign Up For a Free Identity Gap Assessment:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/consult❤️ Connect on IGhttps://instagram.com/lachellewiemeMeet Erin TrierErin Trier is a women's wellness coach and Master's-level Social Worker with certifications in Functional Health Coaching, NASM personal training, Pn1 nutrition, and SYNC for Women's Health and Hormones.

Have you been pretending you’re fine, while shame and pressure quietly run the show behind the scenes?In this episode of the Spiral Up Podcast, I sit down with Paul Simard, a death doula and men’s wellbeing guide, to talk about what most of us avoid: grief, shame, and the emotional weight we keep stuffing down because we think we should “handle it.” Spoiler alert, that strategy is exactly what keeps you stuck.Paul shares a powerful story about unexpectedly losing his job, hiding it for weeks, and how unprocessed grief turns into a spiral down that shows up in your body, your business, and your relationships. We unpack what it really means to become stoppable, not quitting, not collapsing, but learning to slow down long enough to feel what’s real, regulate your nervous system, and choose what happens next.If you’ve been in fight mode, trying to power through, this conversation is your permission slip to breathe. You’re not broken. You’re human. And your emotions are not the enemy, they’re information.What if depression is really a collapse of imagination, not a personality flaw?The “get to” mindset shift that changes everything when life hits hard.Simple nervous system tools you can use today to stop the shame spiral.Listen now, and if this hits home, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review so I can keep bringing you conversations that help you spiral up.👉  Explore the Full Episode Page:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/becoming-stoppable-shame-grief-paul-simardMeet Paul SimardPaul Simard is a Montreal‑based speaker, TED presenter, culture architect, death doula, and men’s wellness guide working at the intersection of grief, masculinity, dying, and societal change.

What if the heaviness you feel in your business isn’t burnout or discipline issues, but a signal that something is out of alignment?In this episode, I’m sharing a very real, very vulnerable look at how my own podcast stopped feeling fun and started feeling heavy, and how my body noticed long before my mind caught up. I break down what aligned action actually feels like, how misalignment shows up physically and emotionally, and why forcing consistency can quietly drain your creativity, peace, and momentum.This conversation is about learning to trust yourself, trust God, and recognize when it’s time to pivot without shame. Alignment doesn’t mean easy or comfortable, but it does mean clean energy, clarity, and forward movement that doesn’t cost you your peace.☑️ How to recognize misalignment before burnout hits☑️ Why forcing consistency creates resistance instead of results☑️ What shifted when I chose embodiment over obligationIf something in your business feels heavier than it should, this episode will help you pause, listen, and realign so your next steps feel clear, grounded, and supported.Subscribe and listen now to Episode 119 and give yourself permission to move forward with trust instead of force.👉 Explore the Full Episode Page:https://iam-lifebydesign.com/post/when-aligned-action-turns-heavyEpisode Highlights00:00 - Introduction02:35 - What Aligned Action Really Means05:15 - When Your Business Stops Feeling Fun08:05 - Physical and Emotional Signs of Misalignment12:10 - Why Forcing Consistency Creates Resistance15:05 - Teaching From Memory vs Embodiment18:45 - Asking God If It’s Time to Pivot21:05 - The Podcast Shift That Restored Flow27:10 - Closing and What’s NextHOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU:🔥FREE Training - Flow State Money ResetLearn why your income feels inconsistent and how to shift into aligned, reliable momentum.https://iam-lifebydesign.com/flowmoney🎧 Listen to Full Episodes on your Favorite PlatformApple: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastappleSpotify: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastspotifyYouTube: https://bit.ly/spiraluppodcastyoutube❤️ Connect on IGhttps://instagram.com/lachellewieme📅 Book Your 5-Figure Month Strategy Callhttps://iam-lifebydesign.com Hosted on Acast.
