In this episode of the Changeology podcast, I’m joined by transformational coach, writer, and speaker Rosie Pryor, founder of The Creative Tapes podcast and creator of The Pivot Code program.

Rosie shares her story of personal reinvention through sobriety—not as a story of deprivation, but one of radical joy, creativity, and the kind of agency most of us never learned to claim. From growing up in a culture where alcohol was the default social lubricant to redefining fun, identity, and motherhood without it, Rosie invites us into what happens when we stop performing and start becoming.

We also talk about the invisible grief that often comes with change, and why so many of us feel like we're falling apart when we’re actually on the brink of rebirth. This conversation is packed with wisdom on self-trust, social conditioning, and how small shifts (like writing yourself a daily permission slip) can lead to massive personal power.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🌟 Why you don’t need to hit rock bottom to start over
🌟 The surprising connection between sobriety, creativity, and personal freedom
🌟 How grief shows up in every transformation—and how to move through it
🌟 A practical framework to take your power back (CUP: Celebrate, Unsubscribe, Permission)

In this episode of the Changeology podcast, I chat with Dr. Clare Emma Wild, a trauma-informed somatic coach (and veterinarian!). She's an expert in helping Quiet Leaders stop people pleasing and overcome imposter syndrome so they can lead with confidence and clarity.

Dr. Clare brings deep experience to our conversation, created through her academic training and work with senior leaders, as well as her own lived experiences of burnout, self-silencing, and finding her way back to self-trust. In our conversation, we explore how internalized oppression, early socialization, and trauma can all live in the nervous system…and how that impacts our ability to make changes in our lives, relationships, and leadership.

This episode is about more than mindset. It’s about embodied change, the kind that doesn’t just shift your thinking, but restores your sense of power. We talk about how noticing without judgment can open the door to transformation, why rest is often the bravest act of rebellion, and how healing creates the capacity to choose differently.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to become someone else to be successful or struggled to make a change because something deeper kept pulling you back, this episode will definitely resonate with you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why change isn’t just about action, but about what your nervous system believes is safe
• Why healing isn’t about fixing yourself, but about returning to the truth of who we are
• How trauma-informed coaching helps create the safety needed for real transformation
• The difference between intellectual insight and embodied self-trust
• Why self-abandonment is the cost of performing success, and how to reclaim your own definition of it
• Why healing isn’t about fixing yourself, but about returning to the truth of who we are

Introducing Pocket Change: Quick, bite-sized episodes where small insights build big impact, just like the spare change jangling in your pocket. The ideas in these short, lightweight episodes might seem modest at first, but keep collecting them and before you know it, they compound into something truly invaluable.

In this episode of Pocket Change, I explore the essential shift from outsourcing your decisions to building deep, unshakable self-trust.

There's a subtle but powerful transition that underpins every big life change: moving away from polling others for advice and reclaiming your sovereignty over your own choices. You’ll learn why asking for too many opinions often clouds clarity instead of creating it—and what to do instead.

If you've ever felt paralyzed when facing a decision or wondered why you second-guess yourself even after gathering all the information, this episode is your permission slip to put your trust back where it belongs: in yourself.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🌟 Why outsourcing your agency is a hidden form of self-doubt

🌟 The two big myths about decision-making that keep you stuck
