Have you ever made it through a season and looked back thinking, “Well… THAT was a doozy!”?

Dr. Nina M. Addison sits down with Rachael Stewart, LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Founder & Clinical Director of Amaris Counseling LLC, for a real conversation about mental health, emotional wellness, healing, difficult seasons, and what it means to acknowledge what you've been through instead of simply pushing past it.

Some experiences change us. Some exhaust us. Some require us to heal, process, regroup, and decide how we're going to move forward.

In this episode, we're talking about navigating life's “doozy” seasons, recognizing the emotional impact of what we've experienced, the value of support and therapy, and giving ourselves permission to say, “That was hard” while still believing there is more ahead.

Because surviving the season isn't always the end of the story. Sometimes the next step is healing from it.

What if the nest you’ve been comfortable in has become too small for where God is taking you?

In SOAR, Dr. Nina M. Addison uses the journey of the eagle and Isaiah 40:31 to challenge you to recognize when it’s time to leave what is familiar, trust God in a new season, stretch your wings, and rise.

There are seasons when staying comfortable can keep you from discovering what God has already placed inside of you. You weren't created only to survive the nest—you were created to SOAR.

Through faith, personal reflection, and The You Can Method™ — See It. Break It. Believe It. Build It. Become It. — this episode will challenge you to confront fear, embrace growth, and move toward the life and purpose God is calling you into.

If you could wake up tomorrow and be living your dream life, what would it look like? More importantly—what are you doing today to move toward it?

In this episode of The You Can Show, Dr. Nina M. Addison gets personal about dreams, changing seasons, rejection, self-doubt, recognizing your greatness, and having the courage to move toward what God has placed inside of you.

With Habakkuk 2:2 and Proverbs 18:16 as part of the foundation, Dr. Nina challenges you to stop waiting for permission, validation, perfect circumstances, or the absence of fear.

She shares four actions for moving toward your dream:

Stop Doubting. Get Started. Take Small Steps Every Day. Never Stop.

You'll also hear pieces of Dr. Nina's own story—from once trying to hide the very difference that would become part of her platform, to realizing she didn't need to be everyone's first choice to recognize the greatness God placed inside of her.

Because sometimes the dream changes as you change.

The question is: Will you keep moving?

This episode also includes a glimpse into the 30-Day Believe It Challenge and the new season Dr. Nina is entering as she works with women through The You Can Collective, The You Can Method™, and Becoming.

Don't hide behind your accomplishments. Don't shrink because someone didn't choose you. Don't allow fear to bury what God put inside of you.

What if taking credit for your work isn't bragging—it's simply telling the truth about what you've accomplished?

In this episode of The You Can Show, Dr. Nina M. Addison sits down with Valeria Wright for a powerful conversation about learning to acknowledge your wins without losing your humility.

Valeria shares her journey working in the male-dominated construction industry, the lessons she learned about owning her contributions, and why so many people—especially women—need to become more comfortable saying, “Yes, I did that.”

We also talk about her Take Credit Thursday Weekly Achievement & Progress Journal, her podcast, documenting your progress, celebrating your wins, and giving yourself permission to recognize how far you've come.

You don't have to make yourself smaller to remain humble.

Sometimes you need to stop hiding, stop minimizing, and TELL THEM!

What if the biggest confrontation you need to have isn't with somebody else... but with yourself?

In this powerful solo episode of The You Can Show, Dr. Nina M. Addison, The You Can Specialist, challenges us to turn the mirror inward and confront the things we may have ignored, excused, tolerated, or blamed on everyone else.

The Big Confrontation is about YOU.

Your habits.
Your choices.
Your excuses.
Your fears.
Your patterns.
Your attitude.
Your healing.
Your responsibility.
And yes—even the parts of yourself you'd rather not address.

Because sometimes we can identify exactly what everyone around us needs to change while avoiding the difficult question:

What needs to change in ME?

This episode isn't about condemnation. It's about confrontation that leads to transformation.

🔥 Why self-confrontation is necessary for growth

🪞 The importance of looking honestly at yourself

🔥 Identifying patterns, behaviors, and excuses that are keeping you stuck

🪞 Taking responsibility without living in shame

🔥 Recognizing when YOU may be contributing to the problem

🪞 Having the courage to make necessary changes

🔥 Allowing God to reveal the areas of your life that need attention

And most importantly—understanding that you cannot change what you refuse to confront.

What have I been avoiding?

What have I been blaming on somebody else?

What pattern do I keep repeating?

What truth about myself have I been unwilling to admit?

What is God showing me that it's finally time to confront?

You don't confront yourself because you hate who you are.

You confront yourself because you're committed to who you're becoming.

Transformation happens through intentional action:

See It. Break It. Believe It. Build It. Become It.

Sometimes BREAK IT begins with having the courage to confront what's really there.

You can't break what you won't identify.

You can't heal what you keep hiding.

And you can't become who God created you to be while protecting the very things keeping you from becoming.

It's time for THE BIG CONFRONTATION.

What does YOU CAN look like when life gives you every reason to believe you can't?

In this powerful episode of The You Can Show, Dr. Nina M. Addison sits down with Carrie Mulderink, PhD, Ms. Wheelchair Illinois 2026, for an inspiring conversation about disability, determination, advocacy, purpose, and refusing to allow limitations to determine what's possible.

And the timing couldn't be more perfect!

This episode airs Monday, August 17, 2026, as Carrie begins an incredible week representing Illinois on the national stage at the Ms. Wheelchair America competition.

Carrie shares her personal journey, the realities of living with a disability, the obstacles she has encountered, and how those experiences have helped shape the woman and advocate she is today.

This isn't simply a conversation about overcoming.

It's a conversation about becoming.

It's about recognizing that your difference doesn't disqualify you from purpose. Your challenges don't erase your possibilities. And sometimes the very thing the world sees as a limitation becomes part of the platform God uses to make a difference.

Special Guest: Dr. Allison K. James-Frison

Sometimes, building a legacy requires breaking through the barriers that were never meant to define you.

In this powerful episode of The You Can Show, Dr. Nina M. Addison welcomes Dr. Allison K. James-Frison—author, speaker, and Founder & CEO of Girls Live, Love, Laugh Inc. Together, they explore what it truly means to break generational barriers, overcome unseen wounds, and create a legacy that will impact generations to come.

As the first in her family to earn a college degree, Dr. Allison shares her inspiring journey of perseverance, faith, and resilience. From overcoming life's challenges to turning her pain into purpose, she reminds us that our greatest breakthroughs often begin with the courage to confront what has been holding us back.

This heartfelt conversation is filled with wisdom, hope, and practical encouragement for anyone who desires to leave a legacy greater than their past.

✨ What it means to break generational cycles

✨ How healing from unseen wounds can change your future

✨ Why your story has the power to impact others

✨ The importance of perseverance when you're the first to pave the way

✨ How faith can transform pain into purpose and purpose into legacy

As we continue through the YOU CAN Method™, this episode reminds us that sometimes you have to BREAK what has held your family back so you can BUILD something that will bless generations to come.

See It. Break It. Believe It. Build It. Become It.

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself...

What's really keeping me stuck?

Sometimes it's not your circumstances. It's the lie you've believed. The fear you've entertained. The unhealthy pattern you've repeated. Or the agreement you've made with words God never spoke over your life.

In this powerful episode of The You Can Show, Dr. Nina M. Addison, The You Can Specialist, continues the journey through the YOU CAN Method™ with Step 2: BREAK IT.

This isn't just another motivational message. It's a call to courage.

BREAK IT is about spiritual warfare, renewing your mind, exposing lies, and intentionally destroying everything that stands between you and the person God created you to become.

🔥 How to identify the hidden things that are hindering your growth

🔥 Why some battles are won in your mind before they're won in your life

🔥 The difference between being stuck and being spiritually entangled

🔥 Four things every believer must break:

• Lies
• Fear
• Patterns
• Agreements

Hebrews 12:1

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."

God never asked you to carry what He told you to throw off.

Before fear breaks you...

Break the fear.

Before the lie breaks you...

Destroy the lie.

Before unhealthy patterns define your future...

Break the pattern.

Before false agreements keep you bound...

Replace them with God's truth.

Every episode this season walks through the five transformational steps of the YOU CAN Method™:

See It. Break It. Believe It. Build It. Become It.

Take a few quiet moments and ask yourself:

• What lie have I believed?
• What fear has been making my decisions?
• What pattern keeps repeating in my life?
• What agreement have I accepted that God never said about me?

Write them down.

Pray over them.

Then intentionally begin breaking them—one decision at a time.

Because breakthrough begins when you stop carrying what God told you to release.
