If you've ever set a beautiful vision for your life, gotten lit up about it, and then quietly let it die a few weeks later — and called that a discipline problem — this episode is for you. We're talking about why the way you move (or don't move) toward what you want has almost nothing to do with willpower, and everything to do with your relationship to your father, the masculine, and the culture you were raised inside of.

What you'll learn:

• Why asking "but HOW would I ever do that" before you've taken a single step is actually a fixed mindset — and what a growth mindset asks instead
• What the father wound really is, and why almost everyone raised in this culture carries some version of it
• A personal story about early motherhood, misplaced anger at her husband, and the moment Isabelle realized mom guilt was hiding underneath it
• How patriarchy lives inside us, not just around us — and what that has to do with your right to want things
• The real definition of alchemy, and how it applies to transmuting your own history into your becoming
