The SPIRAL UP Podcast with Dr. LaChelle Wieme

Olivia de Sousa spent years building a successful podcast management business. She was good at it, the income was steady, and she knew she'd transition out eventually. She just thought it would happen on her terms, in a sensible, planned-out way. Then she woke up at 1 AM to a message that everything had fallen through, dragged herself out of bed, and sat there at 2:30 in the morning fixing what she could. And in that moment, she had total clarity: this isn't it. Time to go.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Olivia de Sousa, singer-songwriter, author, and creator of Word Spells, a book of affirmation poetry she wrote over years of coaching herself through her own spirals. What we got into surprised me. Olivia's story isn't just about a business pivot. It's about what happens when you finally stop overriding what your heart has been telling you all along.

Here's what I want you to walk away with:
What your negative self-talk is actually telling you, and why it matters which voice you're listening to
The neuroscience behind why your heart may be smarter than your brain when it comes to making big decisions
Why affirmations hit differently when you add this one element, and how Olivia has been using it for years

This conversation is going to feel like a permission slip. I hope you let it be one.

If you feel like you're doing all the right things and still not seeing results, this episode is going to make something click. In this episode, I cover the two most common manifestation blocks I see, why they create frequency leaks, and the one shift that changes everything.

Most people are stuck in one of two patterns without even realizing it. The first is doing, doing, doing, but from a place of force, hustle, and quiet desperation. The second is waiting for everything to be perfect before they take any action at all. Both patterns create an energetic mismatch between what you want and what you're actually transmitting, and other people can feel that incoherence in less than a second, even if they can't name it.

The fix is not more action, but being in alignment first.

Here is what you will walk away with from this episode:
The difference between the DO-BE-HAVE and HAVE-DO-BE approaches, and why both block manifestation even when your actions look right on the surface
Why force, hustle, and outcome-chasing create frequency leaks that repel what you are trying to attract
How to apply the BE-DO-HAVE framework so your actions are backed by coherent energy that actually magnetizes results

If you are tired of doing more and getting less, this episode will show you exactly where the leak is and how to close it.

Morgan Rich didn't find his purpose by hustling harder. He found it by staying in the dark long enough to let something real emerge. In this conversation, he and I dig into why so many of us are performing a version of ourselves that was never actually ours to play.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still feel off, this one is for you. Morgan brings a grounded, disarmingly honest lens to what it actually means to live in alignment, and why the path back to yourself isn't about learning something new. It's about remembering what was always there.

Here's what we get into:
Why your purpose isn't a job title - it's a way of being in the world, and you've been practicing it longer than you know
What the masculine/feminine energy imbalance is actually costing you in your business and your life (and it's not what most coaches will tell you)
The daily practice Morgan uses to come home to himself - and why starting with just a few seconds of calm in the hard moments changes everything

This conversation will stay with you. Sit with it and let it do its work.

I got back from three weeks off and asked myself what I'd do tomorrow if I could do anything. The answer came so fast it surprised me: work on my Identity Recalibration Method. Not because I had to, but because it's the thing that's been quietly lighting me up for months while I was too buried in the day-to-day to give it real attention.

That work is now changing everything about how I coach. So I brought in some of the people who experienced it firsthand to tell you what's been shifting for them since going through an Identity Recalibration Activation with me.

You'll hear from four of my Spiral Up clients and coaches in this episode, all of whom had already done significant personal development work before this. What they share is honest, specific, and pretty hard to explain without just listening.

Here's what they're noticing:
Why the personal development industry's obsession with fixing what's broken may actually be keeping you stuck in the energy of the problem
What it looks and feels like when your identity shifts at the somatic level, not just in your mindset
How the world around you starts to recalibrate once you do, including the contrast that shows up first

If you've ever felt like you're working so hard on yourself and still not moving, this episode is for you.

There's a reason you keep doing the work and still feel stuck. And it's not because you haven't tried hard enough or haven't found the right modality yet. It's because almost everything in personal development is built around one flawed premise: find what's broken and fix it.

I spent years doing exactly that, for myself and with my clients. And a few months ago, something clicked that changed everything. When we keep focusing on what's wrong with us, we're not healing, we're re-energizing the brokenness. Meanwhile, the version of you that is already healed, already successful, already doing the damn thing? She already exists. And in this episode, I walk you through my Identity Recalibration method and why one session can shift everything.

Here's what I cover:
Why focusing on what's broken actually re-energizes it, and what to do instead
How identity recalibration works at the source code level, from your nervous system to your results
What happened when I tested this method on my own coaching team in real sessions

If you've been doing the work and wondering why it isn't sticking, this one's for you. The healed version of you isn't a future goal. She's already in there.
