Ep. 439: Why You Feel Stuck Even When You're Doing the Work
Have you ever felt like you're doing all the right things—vision boards, appreciation lists, meditation, inner work—and yet nothing seems to be moving? In this solo episode, JJ shares a deeply personal reflection on the space between where you are and the next version of who you're becoming. Sometimes feeling stuck isn't a sign that something is wrong. Sometimes it means your container is expanding. Drawing from her background in fitness, manifestation work, and recent personal experiences—including a powerful birthday medicine journey—JJ explores why growth often feels uncomfortable and why contrast is actually necessary for transformation. If you've ever wondered why the Law of Attraction seems to stop working when you need it most, this episode will help you understand the deeper shift that may be happening within you. This conversation explores the moment when the old version of you is dissolving, but the new version hasn't fully arrived yet—and how learning to trust that process is one of the most important skills in manifestation. In This Episode JJ Discusses • Why people feel stuck even when they're doing all the personal growth work • The stage of transformation where the old identity dissolves • Why contrast is necessary for growth and expansion • The resistance training analogy for emotional and spiritual development • The real reason manifestation sometimes feels blocked • Why your container must expand before your desires can manifest • The hardest part of the Law of Attraction: feeling aligned before the evidence shows up • How collective energy and world events can affect personal growth • Why you may be in a "caterpillar to butterfly" phase of transformation • What it means to recognize yourself as an extension of Source energy Key Takeaway We don't attract what we want. We attract where we are. If the life you're calling in is bigger than what you've experienced before, you must become the energetic and emotional container capable of holding it. That expansion often feels uncomfortable—but it's a sign that growth is happening. JJ's Invitation If you resonate with this conversation, JJ invites you to join the next 14-Day Manifestation Challenge starting April 1st. This challenge is designed to help you strengthen your manifestation muscle and learn how to stay aligned, hopeful, and grounded—even before the results show up. Because the real work of manifestation isn't controlling circumstances. It's becoming the person who can hold the reality you're calling in. Join here: jjflizanes.com/14-day

Ep. 438: Life After Betrayal
Register for the next free 14 Day Manifestation Challenge that starts on April 1st. http://jjflizanes.com/14day In this episode, JJ sits down with returning guest Lori Shelley, a coach who helps women navigate the emotional and practical aftermath of betrayal. Lori shares her background—from 12 years in financial planning (including training leadership), to 13 years at home raising her kids, to 13 years in HR—and how her own life experience led her to coaching women in midlife who are rebuilding after major relationship disruption. Lori opens up about discovering her husband's long-term deception through what's often called "drip disclosure"—learning the truth in pieces over time—and how that process created intense nervous-system dysregulation: depression, short temper, feeling worse as she approached home, and eventually rage that didn't match the partial information she had. She explains how a formal therapeutic disclosure helped bring alignment between what she felt and what was actually happening—creating clarity, validation, and a turning point for healing. Together, JJ and Lori discuss why the right support matters. Lori describes the difference between approaches that frame partners as "co-addicts" versus betrayal trauma frameworks that recognize the impact of deception on safety, intuition, and identity. She shares how 12-step style groups (including COSA) can provide a safe starting place—especially when the group's structure and energy support growth instead of staying stuck in the story. Lori also explains how she works with women today through groups and individual coaching, including: A group for women navigating separation/divorce after betrayal, and A deeper healing experience called The Spiral Path, a 6-month program exploring: what you want to leave behind, what you want to acknowledge, and what you want to walk away with. JJ highlights Lori's unique zone of genius: blending emotional healing + financial and career support for women facing divorce—helping clients move from "I'm not okay" to regulated, grounded, and clear about what they will and won't accept moving forward. Lori shares one of her favorite group check-ins: noticing glimmers (small signs of hope) and naming what you're beating yourself up about—so you can begin to come back to yourself.

Ep. 436: Introduction to Human Design
In this episode, JJ Flizanes welcomes Erin Hines, a Human Design business coach (and repeat guest from West Coast Women Rising), to kick off a new series-style conversation on Human Design—what it is, why it's gaining traction, and how it can help you better understand your energy, decision-making, and natural way of operating in life and work. What You'll Learn What Human Design is and where it came from (a modern system developed in the late 1980s) How Human Design blends ancient and modern systems (astrology, I Ching, chakras + physics/biology concepts) The "science of differentiation": why your uniqueness matters and how it supports more ease in life The 5 Human Design types and what each one needs to manage energy well: Generators & Manifesting Generators: consistent energy when doing what lights you up; built to respond Projectors: here to guide; thrive by waiting for invitations and honoring rest Manifestors: here to initiate; thrive by informing and allowing cycles of burst/rest Reflectors: sensitive mirrors of environments; thrive with downtime and supportive spaces How type can reduce shame and friction (e.g., why open-ended questions can feel hard for "response-based" types) The basics of reading a Human Design chart: Type, Centers (defined vs open), and deeper layers like gates/channels Mentioned in the Episode Erin's free Human Design chart option (available many places; Erin's includes helpful click-for-explanations) Erin's "Intro to Human Design" custom report for deeper insight Erin's podcast: Rebel to Rise: Where Business Meets Human Design (includes business strategy + HD education) Connect with Erin Hines Erin's website: DarnGoodBusinessCoach.com Find Erin on: LinkedIn Listen to: Rebel to Rise: Where Business Meets Human Design

Ep. 435: Unique Gifts from Italy and Beyond
JJ welcomes back Sheila Donohue for a conversation that blends entrepreneurship, lifestyle, and the art of curated Italian wines and foods. Sheila shares how her company, Verovino, sources small-batch, farm-made wines, olive oils, and specialty foods—many not readily available in the U.S.—and delivers them to both consumers and businesses across America. In This Episode Meet Sheila in Bologna: Sheila shares her life in Bologna, Italy, where she's lived since 2001, and how Italy shaped her expertise and relationships with producers. What Verovino does: Verovino curates and imports authentic, sustainably made, small-batch products—primarily from Italy, plus select producers from other countries and California—selling B2B and direct-to-consumer. From fintech to food & wine: Sheila explains her background in financial technology (fintech), her sommelier training in Italy, and how her personal immersion in artisan food culture inspired the company. Starting from a "clean slate": In 2017, after major life changes, Sheila began building Verovino—funded through savings—and took early action by importing product and going door-to-door to find customers. How the business grows: Sheila emphasizes the importance of continuity (repeat business), building scale, and covering operating expenses. She explains how an omni-channel strategy helps stabilize the business: Distributors nationwide Wine stores & restaurants (especially in California) Direct-to-consumer shipping across the U.S. Corporate gifting & events Marketing & education that compounds: Verovino invests in education and storytelling through digital marketing—especially their blog and YouTube channel—to build long-term brand trust and demand. Product philosophy: As a sommelier-led team, Sheila curates for variety and distinction: reds, whites, rosés, orange wines, sparkling (dry and sweet), plus standout olive oils—including single-varietal olive oils with specific pairing profiles. Events as a growth engine: Sheila shares how tastings, fundraisers, private events, and collaborations introduce people to the products—because tasting creates appreciation and connection. Specialty foods: The conversation highlights a Piedmont hazelnut producer offering toasted hazelnuts, caramelized hazelnuts, hazelnut creams, pasta, and pestos—plus JJ's enthusiasm for pistachio cream and clean ingredients. Wine club & gifting: Sheila describes Verovino's monthly or quarterly wine club, curated shipments with insider notes and stories, and a growing trend of gifting memberships (including personalized letters). Gift sets: Verovino offers curated gift sets—popular in December—and a standout option that pairs wine + olive oil, plus expanded options for non-wine drinkers. A second brand line for broader appeal: To avoid being pigeonholed and to meet different market needs, Sheila shares how Verovino expanded into a separate line for more "recognizable" wines, including Prosecco and kegs—ideal for events and high-volume restaurant service. Advice for new producers: Sheila emphasizes the need to stand out in a crowded market—especially as the wine industry faces headwinds—and to clearly differentiate your product and message. Memorable Moments JJ connects her own journey as a winemaker (High Vibrational Wines) and discusses why she values small-batch, purpose-driven production over mass distribution. A fun community collaboration emerges: JJ invites Sheila to co-create a March event in Ojai with "Women Behind the Business: Real Conversations," potentially adding a wine tasting experience—and they discover their birthdays are both in March. Connect with Sheila / Verovino Website: Verovino.com YouTube: Vero Vino Instagram & Facebook: VeroVinoGusto Closing: JJ encourages listeners to explore Verovino for personal discovery, gifting, and creating meaningful food-and-wine experiences that bring "a taste of Italy" home.

Ep. 434: Finding Purpose after Retirement
What happens when someone listens to every single episode of your podcast for over a decade? In this special conversation, JJ celebrates a major milestone by sitting down with longtime listener Vicki, who discovered the show years ago while walking through life's biggest transitions — caring for an aging parent, navigating a demanding career, and eventually stepping into retirement. What unfolds is a heartfelt, real-life story about how small daily shifts, emotional healing, and consistent self-care can quietly transform your life. Together, they explore what it really means to: Find purpose after retirement Create more joy without "doing more" Set boundaries as a helper or caregiver Stay healthy and strong as we age Use accountability and community to break old patterns Choose growth, even in life's next chapter You'll also hear JJ reflect on the journey from the early days of Fit to Love to now — how podcasting became a living, evolving conversation, and why connection with listeners matters more than download numbers. This episode is a reminder that healing doesn't have to be dramatic. Sometimes it's one new habit, one brave boundary, or one small mindset shift at a time. If you've ever wondered: What's my purpose now? How do I take care of myself without guilt? Is it too late to change? This conversation will feel like sitting down with a wise friend who's walking the path right alongside you. ✨ The next 14-Day Manifestation Challenge starts soon — join at jjflizanes.com/14day

Ep. 433: 5 Myths of Bipolar Disorder and Healing
JJ welcomes back Michelle Reittinger, author and host of The Upside of Bipolar, for a bold, hope-filled conversation that challenges common cultural narratives around bipolar disorder. Together, they unpack "myths" that can keep people stuck in fear and identity-based labels—and invite listeners into curiosity, root-cause investigation, and a more empowering view of symptoms, healing, and personal responsibility. In This Episode, We Cover · Michelle's story: diagnosed in 1998, years of intensive psychiatric treatment, polypharmacy, and a breaking point that became a turning point · Why a diagnosis can feel like an "answer," but often doesn't explain why symptoms started · The difference between a "cluster of symptoms" and an identified disease mechanism · Why curiosity (vs. shame) changes everything—especially with intense symptoms like rage, anxiety, and dissociation · The "detective" approach: identifying triggers, patterns, and underlying contributors · The role of foundational health (nutrients, sleep, nervous system regulation) in emotional resilience and symptom reduction · Why suppressed emotions can show up as anxiety, depression, physical pain, or crisis states · How identity, victimhood, and relationship dynamics can unconsciously reinforce staying stuck · A grounded reminder: do not abruptly stop medications—tapering/changes should be done slowly and safely with qualified support Notable Takeaways · Labels can reduce curiosity—and curiosity is often the doorway to change. · "Symptoms" are information; the goal is to explore what they're pointing to. · The most empowering question isn't "What's wrong with me?" but "What happened—and what is my system asking for now?" · Healing can have a social cost: if your "sick role" has been rewarded with attention, protection, or lowered expectations, getting better can feel threatening (even subconsciously). Resources Mentioned · Anatomy of an Epidemic by Robert Whitaker · The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk · Healing Back Pain by Dr. John Sarno Connect with Michelle · Website: theupsideofbipolar.com · Free resource: Mood Cycle Survival Guide (available on her site) · Podcast + book links are also on her website.

Ep. 432: Healing the Abandonment Wound
What if the deepest wound you carry isn't about what happened to you—but about whether you ever felt truly held by life itself? In this powerful and intimate conversation, JJ is joined by a longtime soul sister, healer, and registered nurse who shares a deeply transformative experience that healed a lifelong sense of abandonment—not just from people, but from God, Source, and existence itself. After more than 25 years of personal growth, spiritual practice, and emotional work, she realized there was still an existential fracture beneath it all: a quiet belief that life was not fully safe, that love could be given endlessly but not fully received, and that stepping into her full calling might come at a devastating cost. What unfolded during a sacred, carefully held journey became a profound reclamation of safety, trust, and belonging—at the nervous-system and soul level. This episode is not about escapism or quick fixes. It's about: · How early experiences can fracture our sense of safety with life itself · Why control often masks a fear of annihilation or abandonment · What true surrender actually feels like in the body · Healing the relationship with Source beyond religion or belief systems · Learning to receive love after a lifetime of giving · Releasing the fear that being fully seen could destroy you · Embodiment, integration, and lasting nervous-system change JJ also speaks to the importance of integrity, preparation, emotional readiness, and sacred containment—emphasizing that this kind of work is not for everyone, not always, and never casual. At its core, this is a conversation about remembering who you are, restoring trust in life, and discovering that you were never alone—not for a single breath. If you've ever felt: · Like you don't fully belong here · Afraid to take up space or be fully visible · Deeply loving but unable to receive · Spiritually devoted yet quietly disconnected · Called to something more but scared of the cost This episode may speak directly to your heart. This is not an escape from life.It's an invitation into the truth of who you really are. http://Karinrose.love

Ep. 431: The Cost of Always Putting Yourself Last
In this solo episode, JJ explores a pattern she sees repeatedly in women who are deeply caring, self-aware, and ready for healing—yet hesitate when it's time to invest in themselves. Drawing from real conversations with women who are caregivers, over-givers, people-pleasers, and survivors of illness, JJ unpacks the deeper truth beneath statements like "I can't afford it." This episode isn't about money—it's about self-worth, nervous system safety, and the beliefs that quietly keep women putting themselves last. Through the energetic lens of the Year of the Snake and the approaching Fire Horse, JJ explains how awareness alone isn't enough. Healing often requires an embodied choice—a stretch that tells your nervous system, I am worth being supported. In this episode, you'll hear: Why women so often deprioritize their own healing and well-being How abandonment wounds, caregiving roles, and people-pleasing show up around money What not investing in yourself communicates to your body and subconscious Why aligned investment can be a powerful act of re-patterning and self-trust How choosing yourself builds confidence, self-love, and emotional resilience This episode is an invitation to value yourself differently in 2026—not by doing more, but by believing you're worthy of support, healing, and expansion. ✨ If you've been feeling the call to invest in yourself but something keeps stopping you, this conversation may help you understand why—and what's possible on the other side of that choice.

Ep. 430: Homeopathy for Flu Season
JJ reconnects with longtime friend and homeopath Avghi "Avi" Constantinides (yes—at Trader Joe's!) for a timely conversation on natural immune support during the holiday season and beyond. Avghi breaks down what homeopathy is, how it differs from symptom-only approaches, and shares her go-to homeopathic "flu season trio" that many of her clients use for prevention and support. The conversation then expands into entrepreneurship, education, and why responsiveness and follow-up are essential for building a sustainable, heart-centered business. In this episode, you'll hear: How a chance reconnection at Trader Joe's brought Avghi into the West Coast Women Rising community Avghi's origin story: from the UK, to South Africa, to the U.S.—and the life-changing realization that shaped her work What homeopathy really is and how it treats the whole person rather than isolated symptoms What to expect from a first homeopathic consultation—and why it goes deep How emotional and life events often correlate with physical symptoms Avghi's recommended homeopathic flu-season support trio: Influenzinum (homeopathic preparation of the current flu strain) Briar Rose (commonly used for respiratory and chest vulnerability) Thymulin / Thymuline (supporting immune and white blood cell function) How and when to take these remedies, including travel and exposure support Why combo remedies can help—and when individualized care is needed Avghi's community work supporting first responders and clinics during the 2025 California fires Building a business as a solopreneur: Early grassroots marketing before social media Why fast follow-up builds trust (and slow follow-up loses opportunities) The importance of visibility, service, and giving back to your field Educational pathways through Avghi's school—from personal learning to professional practice Why every household should have a basic homeopathic first-aid kit Resources mentioned: Practice: HomeopathyForLife.com School: LASchoolofHomeopathy.com (site name transitioning) Email: [email protected] Homeopathic First Aid List: JJFlizanes.com/firstaid

Ep. 429: Shedding the Skin Needed for 2026
Shedding the Skin Needed to Set the Stage for 2026 As we step into 2026, it's tempting to rush ahead with goals, intentions, and action. But energetically, we're still in a powerful transition period. Although the calendar year has changed, the Fire Horse doesn't officially arrive until February 17, meaning we're still completing the work of the Year of the Snake. In this solo episode, JJ explores why this moment is less about acceleration—and more about discernment, honesty, and conscious completion. The Year of the Snake asks us to shed old skins: identities, coping strategies, emotional patterns, and roles that once served us but now limit who we're becoming. Before the Fire Horse ignites momentum, visibility, and bold action, we're being invited to get clean, aligned, and intentional. In this episode, you'll hear: Why 2026 begins as a threshold year, not a starting line Key themes of the Year of the Snake and what we're still meant to release What Fire Horse energy amplifies—and why preparation matters The three essential lessons to integrate before February 17 How to move into 2026 authentically, intentionally, creatively, and passionately Why shedding before sprinting creates sustainable momentum This episode is an invitation to slow down just enough to listen—to your body, your nervous system, and your deeper truth—so that when the Fire Horse arrives, you're ready to ride it with clarity instead of chaos. ✨ If you feel the call to shed a skin and enter 2026 more aligned than ever, this conversation will meet you right where you are. http://jjflizanes.com/apply http://jjflizanes.com/14day http://jjflizanes.com/mm

Ep. 427: 5 C's of Flow with Christy Whitman
In This Episode, You'll Learn Why contrast (the thing you don't want) is not personal—and not a sign you "did it wrong" How survival responses (fight/flight/freeze/fawn) can pull you out of flow automatically Why self-compassion is the "neutralizer" that helps you move from emotional intensity back to steadiness The "three buckets" model: lack → neutrality → abundance How to move from "what I don't want" into true clarity using three powerful questions The difference between observing vs. judging—and how judgment instantly shuts off flow How momentum builds around whatever you focus on (and how to choose differently moment-to-moment) Why you may need to practice the feelings you want (and build new neural pathways) What "command" means through I AM statements How "create" activates imagination and future-self alignment to become a stronger energetic match Ready to practice the 5 C's (and build real momentum toward what you want)? Join JJ's FREE 14-Day Manifestation Challenge starting January 5th.

Ep. 422: It Only Takes One Person

You'll hear from Mandy Bobo, a longtime member of JJ's community who's completed Date Your Body Beta, Rewiring Your Core Wound Patterns, Healing the Mother Wound, and Connect Couples Retreat.

In this episode, JJ Flizanes shares a powerful conversation from the Unleashing Your Manifestation Power live event — featuring members of her community who have experienced real transformation through support, accountability, and connection. This success panel explores one of the most overlooked truths about personal growth and manifestation: you can't do it alone. We dive into: 💫 Why having the right people in your life — mentors, peers, coaches, and friends — determines how far you'll go. 🌱 How accountability isn't about pressure or perfection, but about being witnessed in your evolution. 👁️ The importance of being around people who can see the version of you that you're becoming, even before you can. 🤍 The difference between being supported and being enabled — and how true support challenges you to embody your vision. 🔥 What it means to "lead and be led" in community, so you're not just learning — you're living it. Whether you're on a healing journey, building your next-level vision, or ready to expand into a more empowered version of yourself — this episode will remind you that growth happens in relationship. ✨ Ask yourself: Who's leading me right now? Who has my back when I forget what's possible? Who's holding the vision for me when I can't see it yet?

If you've ever said, "I know what to do… I just can't seem to do it," this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:💫 Why your nervous system—not your willpower—determines your results💫 The physiological link between emotional safety, metabolism, and body composition💫 10 powerful questions to assess whether your body feels safe or stuck in survival mode💫 What true "body safety" feels like—and how to begin creating it💫 Why the body protects you (and how to make it trust you again) This conversation sets the stage for JJ's brand-new masterclass:🎟️ Why Your Body Won't Change Until Your Nervous System Feels Safe Normally $97 — but you can join for FREE with code JJ97.👉 http://jjflizanes.com/bodychange

Ep. 413: Shadow Work and Self Love
Get your 2-1 ticket NOW! Unleash Your Manifestation Power http://jjflizanes.com/unleash Have you ever thought you were healed—only to realize, deep down, something was still missing? In our newest episode of the podcast, I invited my former client Sheridon Taylor to share his courageous and deeply personal journey of transformation. After years of traditional therapy, Sheridon believed he had forgiven his father… until we did the work together that changed everything. "I realized all that talk never changed how I felt. But when JJ helped me uncover the deeper story and feel the love I'd shut out… it brought me to my knees." — Sheridon Taylor This episode is a testament to the power of shadow work, emotional honesty, and choosing to go deeper than surface-level healing. If you've ever wondered whether therapy alone is enough—or if there's more available to you—this conversation is one you don't want to miss. Sheridon's story is raw, real, and inspiring. It reminds us that true healing happens when we stop just talking about it… and start feeling through it. With love, JJ

Ep. 407: Signs That You Live in a Survival State
If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—visualizing, journaling, meditating—but you're still stuck in the same patterns...This week's episode might just give you the missing piece. Before you try to "manifest harder," ask yourself these questions: · Do you constantly feel exhausted, even when you're not doing much? · Do you keep recreating the same painful patterns—in love, in money, in health? · Do you feel like you're always "on edge," even when things are fine? · Do you overthink everything, or feel frozen when it's time to act? · Do you feel disconnected from joy, play, passion, or possibility? · Do you swing between hyper-productivity and complete burnout? If you said yes to even one of those… there's a high chance you're living in a survival state. And when your nervous system doesn't feel safe, it will block the very things you're trying to attract. This episode is your invitation to start seeing manifestation through a new lens—a nervous system-informed lens. 👉 And if you're ready to do the real work, I've got a limited-time 2-for-1 offer: 🎁 Join Becoming Magnetic (6 week online program) AND get a free ticket to my 3-day live event in October—Unleashing Your Manifestation Power.
