335: Why Most New Year’s Goals Fail (And What to Do Instead)
Jan 05, 2026

If you’ve set New Year’s resolutions and already feel behind, off track, or discouraged — this episode is for you.


In this opening episode of the year, Carolina challenges the entire resolution system and explains why most goals fail — not because you lack discipline or motivation, but because the system itself is built on pressure, perfection, and willpower.


In this episode, you’ll explore:

Why willpower-based goals don’t work in real life

The shame cycle that keeps so many people stuck every January

Morning Brew: Intention is a Practice
Jan 03, 2026

Intention isn’t something you set once — it’s something you practice.

In this first Morning Brew episode of the year, we’re letting go of pressure, resolutions, and perfection, and grounding ourselves in a gentler way to begin. We explore what it really means to live with intention, why drifting is part of the process, and how small daily choices shape a meaningful year.

Grab your coffee and join me as we set the tone for the year, one intentional moment at a time.

Morning Brew: The Last Cup of 2025
Dec 20, 2025

This is a special one — the final Morning Brew of 2025.


Instead of rushing into goals or resolutions, today’s episode is an invitation to pause. To reflect. To acknowledge who you’ve become over the past year — not through big, dramatic changes, but through the quiet, everyday choices that shaped your growth.


In this holiday-inspired episode, we slow down to look back with honesty and compassion, celebrate what you carried and what you learned, and create space to close the year gently before stepping into what’s next.

332: Dreaming in Color with Erin Dewsbury-Ribeiro
Dec 15, 2025

In this episode of Leading Yourself, I sit down with Erin Dewsbury-Ribeiro, DEI officer and author of Dreaming in Color, to explore what allyship looks like in real life—not in theory.


Erin shares how her journey began with a simple virtual book club that evolved into deeper conversations about racism, empathy, and understanding after the murder of George Floyd. We talk about the power of curiosity, the courage it takes to connect across cultures, and how diversifying what we read, watch, and listen to can completely shift our perspective.

331: 7 “small” Habits that made the difference for me in 2025
Dec 08, 2025

Today’s episode is a special one — we’re looking back, not to reminisce, but to understand what actually moved the needle this year.

Because 2025 wasn’t shaped by big dramatic changes.

It was shaped by the small things—tiny, ordinary habits that didn’t feel impressive in the moment, but quietly transformed my energy, my confidence, my mindset, and the way I show up every day.

I realized something powerful: lasting change comes from simple, sustainable habits, not overhauls.

In this episode, I’m sharing the seven small habits that made the bigge...

330: The Secret to Ending the Year Strong: It Starts in Your Evenings
Dec 01, 2025

Can you believe we're in the final stretch of the year?

The last month always feel complicated. There's excitement, but also exhaustion. Gratitude, but also overwhelm.

And if you're anything like me, your evenings can start to look like this: Dinner. Maybe a glass of wine. A scroll through social media. One episode of something, okay maybe two, and then suddenly it's 10:30 and you're too tired to do anything meaningful before bed.

Sound familiar?

For years, that was me. I told myself I was unwinding. But in reality, I was numbing...

Nov 17, 2025

Real talk:

We’re in the final stretch of the year.

And this is the season when your energy can either feel focused and intentional — or completely scattered and drained.

Between holiday plans, wrapping up work projects, social gatherings, and trying to finish the year “strong,” it’s so easy to end up spending your energy everywhere — but not really investing it anywhere that truly matters.

So today, I want to pause with you and ask a powerful question:

We talk about how self-awareness, reputation, and intentional branding can shape your career—especially in a world where AI is changing the way we work. Andy reminds us that everyone already has a personal brand, whether we realize it or not, and that being intentional about how we show up can make all the difference.

Since it’s Halloween week, I thought we’d do something fun — and reflective.

Because let’s be honest: Halloween isn’t just for kids in costumes and pumpkin spice everything.

It’s actually full of powerful metaphors for growth, transformation, and leadership — if you know where to look.

Today, we’re going to unpack the life and career lessons hidden in this spooky, candy-filled holiday — from the masks we wear, to the fears we face, to the ways we can bring more play, courage, and authenticity into our lives.

Oct 27, 2025

Let’s get real — how many times have you told yourself, “I’ll do it tomorrow,” and then tomorrow turns into next week… and then months go by? You’re not alone. Procrastination isn’t about laziness — it’s about fear, stress, and the stories we tell ourselves when we feel overwhelmed.


In this episode, we’re unpacking the truth about procrastination and the six distinct ways it shows up. From the perfectionist who waits for the “right time,” to the avoider who’s scared of failing, you’ll learn how to recognize your patterns — and more importantl...
