In this episode of The Becoming You Project, we challenge the myth that mindset is everything and explore why true transformation requires the integration of mind, body, and soul.

We dig into the limits of mindset culture, how nervous system regulation impacts sustainable change, and why ignoring the body’s cues keeps us stuck in cycles of burnout and self-doubt. You’ll learn how to reconnect with your body as your most honest feedback system, rediscover your soul as your inner compass and source of meaning, and use intuition as the bridge between your deepest self and your conscious awareness.

We’ll break down common misconceptions about spirituality, showing how it doesn’t have to mean belief in anything supernatural — and how connection to something greater can be found through nature, creativity, community, service, or personal values. You’ll also hear the often-overlooked history of how cultural conditioning severed us from our intuition, leaving us over-reliant on logic, productivity, and external validation.

This episode blends psychology, history, and practical tools to help you reclaim balance, reconnect with your inner knowing, and create change that actually lasts.

What happens when women don't speak up? We miss opportunities, fail to advance professionally, and inadvertently set a limiting example for others who look to us as role models. In this illuminating conversation with Urmi Hossain, a finance professional, author, and women's empowerment advocate, we dive deep into the transformative power of finding your voice.

Urmi shares her journey of balancing a successful career in finance with her passion for empowering women through mentorship, writing, and advocacy. Drawing from the Japanese concept of ikigai (a reason for being), she reveals how she connected her professional skills with her desire to serve her community, ultimately creating a more purposeful life.

One of the most powerful insights from our conversation is Urmi's relationship with discomfort and fear. Rather than avoiding what scares her, she intentionally moves toward it, viewing fear as a friend guiding her toward growth. From conquering her fear of public speaking to embracing new challenges like creating YouTube content, Urmi demonstrates how leaning into discomfort leads to personal transformation.

We also explore practical strategies for maintaining balance while pursuing multiple passions, and her philosophy of trying new experiences to discover what truly resonates offers a refreshing perspective on finding your path.

Why does change feel so hard – even when we know something needs to shift? Whether you’re trying to leave a job that drains you, manifest a new chapter, repair a relationship, or finally prioritize you, the process of change often feels impossible. In this solo episode of The Becoming You Project, Jess unpacks the real reason change feels so overwhelming – and it has everything to do with your nervous system.

We’ll explore how chronic stress, burnout, emotional labor, and societal conditioning keep us stuck in a dysregulated state that makes growth feel unsafe. Jess shares insights from her own healing journey with fibromyalgia and nervous system dysfunction, and offers gentle, powerful tools to help you move from survival mode into regulation, clarity, and forward momentum.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why your nervous system resists change (even when you want it)
  
  
• An overview of dysregulated states including fight, flight, freeze, and fawn
  
  
• Signs you may be in nervous system dysregulation or functional freeze
  
  
• How emotional and physical symptoms (like fatigue, irritability, disconnection, and indecision) are actually signals from your body
  
  
• The hidden connection between chronic stress and loss of creativity, motivation, and joy
  
  
• Why regulating your nervous system is the missing link in creating real, lasting change
  
  
• Simple, accessible tools to re-regulate and get grounded – starting today
  
  

If you've ever wondered why you're doing all the right things but nothing is shifting… this episode is for you.
