What if the pressure to be perfect is the very thing keeping you stuck?

In this episode of UNSUBSCRIBE™ with Ginny Priem, I sit down with Dr. Rachel Goldman, clinical psychologist, CBT expert, and media contributor featured on The Oprah Winfrey Network, The Today Show, among many other national publications.

Dr. Goldman’s new book When Life Happens explores how we respond when life doesn’t go according to plan—and why so many of us default to perfectionism, people pleasing, toxic positivity, and unrealistic expectations.

Together we unpack how cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical tools to respond differently.

This conversation is about letting go of the pressure to perform, fixing the stories we tell ourselves, and learning how to UNSUBSCRIBE™ from perfect.

If you have ever struggled with overthinking, needing approval, or feeling like you should have everything figured out by now, this episode will give you tools to move forward.

• What cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) actually is and how it works• How perfectionism and people pleasing become deeply wired habits• Why toxic positivity can sometimes do more harm than good• The psychology behind commenting on other people’s bodies• How to interrupt negative thought patterns before they spiral• Practical CBT tools you can use immediately• How to respond when life doesn’t go according to plan

Dr. Rachel Goldman is a licensed clinical psychologist and CBT expert who has been featured on national platforms including The Oprah Winfrey Network, Today Show, and major media outlets. Her work focuses on helping people understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so they can develop healthier coping strategies when life becomes challenging.

They said no. Then they came back.

If you’ve ever been rejected, passed over, or told no in your career, business, or personal life, this episode will change how you see rejection forever.

In this episode of UNSUBSCRIBE™ with Ginny Priem, keynote speaker, coach, and bestselling author Ginny Priem shares the powerful story of being rejected for a speaking opportunity and how that same organization later invited her back.

This episode is about more than rejection. It’s about confidence, emotional intelligence, leadership, and how high-performing women and leaders turn rejection into redirection.

If you’ve ever:

• Been rejected from a job, promotion, or opportunity• Felt overlooked, dismissed, or underestimated• Experienced rejection in business, relationships, or leadership• Questioned your confidence or self-worth after hearing “no”• Wondered how successful people recover from rejection

This episode will show you exactly how to UNSUBSCRIBE™ from rejection and reclaim your power.

You’ll learn:

• How to reframe rejection so it builds confidence instead of self-doubt• Why rejection is often about timing, alignment, and readiness• How high-achieving women and leaders use rejection to accelerate growth• How to remove ego and stay connected to opportunities that matter• The mindset shift that transforms rejection into momentum

Rejection is not a reflection of your worth. It’s often a redirection toward something greater.

The most confident, successful, and emotionally intelligent leaders are not the ones who avoid rejection. They’re the ones who know how to use it.

This episode will help you build resilience, confidence, and the clarity to move forward without letting rejection define you.

Money is emotional. And no one taught high-performing women how to talk about that. Until now.

In this episode of UNSUBSCRIBE with Ginny Priem, I sit down with financial advisor Billy Zerillo to unpack the emotional side of investing. He shares three major money myths high-achieving women need to let go of if they want true financial confidence.

If you’ve ever:• Felt behind financially• Avoided conversations about investing• Carried shame around money decisions• Believed you “should know more by now”

This conversation will change the way you think about wealth, investing, and your relationship with money.

Billy works specifically with high-performing women, and in this episode he breaks down:

• The emotional blocks that quietly sabotage financial growth

• Why smart women still feel insecure about investing

• The myths about money that keep women playing small

• How to build financial confidence without becoming someone you’re notWhy getting comfortable talking about money is part of your power

This is about letting go of what no longer serves you. Because financial freedom doesn’t start with numbers. It actually starts with mindset.
