Hello, Visionista, welcome to Inside Edge!

In this episode, we name a quiet pattern many powerful women hide: impostor tendencies that lead you to avoid growth. Whether you delay a price increase, say "maybe next time" to speaking invitations, or stall a launch, avoidance often hides under polite logic. Learn to spot your avoidance cues, map approach vs. avoidance, and take one tiny exposure step that builds real momentum.

Reflection Prompts:

1. Where have you been politely shrinking or saying "not yet" to growth?
2. What exact thought stops you from raising your price, pitching a bigger client, or saying yes to visibility?
3. Where does avoidance live in your body (throat tightness, shoulder curl, compulsive researching)?

This Week's Strategies:

1. Approach vs. Avoidance Check
2. Micro-Exposure Ladder

This Week's Action Step(s):

1. Name one growth move you've been avoiding and write the blocking thought beside it.
2. Create one 15–30 minute micro-step toward that move (e.g., send an email, sketch an outline, record a short video).
3. Share your plan with one trusted peer for accountability.

Additional Notes:

In my book, Crush Self-Sabotage and Live Fully, I share mindset scripts and micro-exposure practices that make these steps easier to follow. Though written for creatives, the tools translate smoothly for women entrepreneurs and leaders—use them for pricing, pitching, visibility, and steady expansion.

Hello Visionista!

I am so glad you are here! This is Part Two of our Influence Detox Mini-Series (head over to episode 16 for Part One). In this episode, I help you move from noticing old rules to editing them. Use the Values & Impact Test and a simple Boundary Ladder to decide what to keep, what to refine, and what to release, so your calendar, choices, and energy match your values.

Reflection Prompts

• Name one moment last week when you felt out of alignment. Write it in one sentence.

• How would you like that moment to feel next time? (e.g., clear, calm, brief)

• Which inherited rule or habit showed up in that moment?

This Week's Strategies

1. Values & Impact Test (Keep • Evolve • Release)

2. Boundary Ladder (Behavioral Design)

This Week’s Action Steps

• Label Three Layers: write one to KEEP, one to EVOLVE, one to RELEASE.

• Set One Boundary Ladder Step: add a small, visible adjustment to your calendar or templates.

• Swap Your Inputs: mute one account that fuels pressure; follow one that fuels peace.

• Share a Win: tell a fellow Visionista what boundary you set.

If you’d like personalized help applying these tools and editing your influences with compassion and strategy, work with me one-on-one. Book your session at www.dryaninagomez.com.

Hello Visionista!

Welcome to Inside Edge! In this first episode of Influential Shedding, Dr. Yanina helps Visionistas identify the invisible influences—family expectations, industry pressure, social norms, and internal wiring—that quietly shape how you lead, price, and show up. This episode guides you to notice the layers that no longer serve you and gives gentle tools to update those scripts so your choices reflect your values, not someone else’s checklist.

Reflection Prompts

• Family / Generational:
  • “In our family, ___.”
  • “I must always ___.”
  • “I’m the one who ___.”
• School / Education:
  • “Credentials equal ___.”
  • “Never ___ or you’ll fall behind.”
  • “I’m the over-prepared ___.”
• Work / Industry Norms:
  • “Hustle proves ___.”
  • “Always be available for ___.”
  • “I’m ‘always on’ even when ___.”
• Mentors / Peers / Social:
  • “Success only looks like ___.”
  • “Post like ___ to matter.”
  • “Curated me hides ___ and highlights ___.”
• Temperament / Wiring:
  • "Because I’m wired this way, I must ___.”
  • “Push past limits even when ___.”
  • “I’m fine when actually ___.”

▷▷▷ Circle the two that hit hardest. Those are your starting points.

Mindful Strategies

1. The Layer Map (Belief, Demand, or Mask)
2. The Parts Map

This Week’s Action Steps

1. Circle One Layer: Pick the influence that drains you most.
2. Write a One-Line Update: Replace the old belief with your new truth and place it where you’ll see it daily (laptop, mirror, wallpaper).
