You finally hit the next level—but suddenly, the same fears, spirals, and doubts show up all over again.

This isn’t a sign you’re failing. It’s a sign you’re being invited back into the pattern—so you can finally lead yourself through it.

In this episode of Flip the Switch, we’re unpacking why personal evolution doesn’t mean the pattern disappears— it just gets louder when there’s more at stake.

And the moment you learn to meet it with power instead of panic? Everything changes.

• Why old emotional patterns resurface at every new level

• What your nervous system really needs when fear or self-doubt kick in

• How to stop interpreting spirals as signs to retreat

• A 3-step process to name, meet, and lead yourself through your most familiar loop

• Why your next level isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence

• You’re constantly hitting new goals but still feel stuck in the same inner cycle

• You find yourself shrinking, doubting, or sabotaging the moment success builds

• You want to hold more—money, visibility, intimacy—without defaulting to your old self

If this episode hit something deep— you don’t have to walk this edge alone.

Inside The Embodied Vault, we build the emotional clarity, nervous system strength, and identity anchoring required to move through your patterns without spiraling or self-abandoning.

One year ago, I sat with Ayahuasca and asked to be shown the truth.

I thought the answers would come in visions. Instead, they came in everything that died after.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on what’s changed—and what hasn’t—since that ceremony. Not just the moment I drank the medicine, but the year of unraveling, rebuilding, grieving, and reclaiming that followed.

Because the real ceremony begins after the cup is empty.

This isn’t a highlight reel of my healing. It’s a raw look at the identity deaths, nervous system upgrades, and emotional edges I’ve had to meet over and over again to fully embody the woman I am now.

• Why I felt called to the medicine in the first place

• The version of me that had to die to make room for truth

• What I thought I’d receive—and what I was actually given

• How the themes of power, surrender, and capacity have shaped the last year

• The parts of me that are still integrating—and the parts I’ll never go back to

• What it really means to live your truth, long after the ceremony ends

You’ve done the work. You’ve set the standards. You know what you’re unavailable for.

But then someone comes along who feels different—and suddenly, it’s like everything gets blurry. You’re second-guessing your intuition, wondering if your standards are “too much,” and trying to be “understanding” while ignoring the part of you that knows better.

In this episode of Flip the Switch, I’m breaking down why holding your standards in dating can feel so emotionally hard—even when you’re confident and self-aware. Spoiler: it’s not because you’re weak—it’s because your nervous system is trying to keep you safe.

This isn’t about playing hard to get or being emotionally guarded. This is about nervous system regulation, emotional capacity, and self-leadership in love.

• Why your body may go into fawn or freeze when emotions get activated

• How past experiences may be quietly influencing your dating patterns

• What it really means to lead yourself in dating (without collapsing into old habits)

• 3 powerful ways to stay anchored in your truth—even when you’re into him

• You tend to shrink, over-explain, or “stay open” when someone isn’t fully aligned

• You’ve abandoned your boundaries in the past to keep a connection

• You’re ready to stop negotiating with misalignment and start leading from wholeness

If this episode brought something to the surface—and you're ready to break the patterns that keep you shrinking, settling, or second-guessing in dating and relationships—this is the exact work I do with clients.

Together, we unravel the emotional habits, identity blocks, and nervous system patterns that keep you abandoning yourself when what you really want is to feel chosen, safe, and fully expressed.

If you're ready to hold your standards with ease, lead yourself with clarity, and attract the kind of love that meets you without compromising who you are—I’d love to support you.

DM me “PRIVATE” on Instagram and let’s talk about whether private coaching is the space for your next level

If you’ve ever ghosted your own visibility, doubted yourself right before posting, or felt like you needed to perform to be chosen—this episode will hit deep.

In this powerful solo episode of Flip the Switch, I’m unpacking the real reason visibility feels so triggering for so many self-led women—and why it has nothing to do with laziness or lack of confidence.

We’ll explore how your nervous system is wired for protection, not performance—and how old survival strategies might be showing up every time you try to take up space.

• The post-delete spiral, the “I’m not ready yet” pattern, and what’s really happening beneath it

• Why visibility is not just a strategy—it’s an energetic and somatic experience

• How Polyvagal Theory explains the freeze/flee response to being seen

• How parts of you (like The Perfectionist or Inner Teen) might be trying to protect you from judgment or shame

• Tangible ways to practice regulated visibility and begin rewiring safety into your body

• My 3-step framework to begin building the emotional capacity to be fully seen, heard, and held

• Has a vision she’s been hiding from

• Is done shrinking in her relationships, business, or voice

• Wants to feel grounded, powerful, and safe being fully expressed

This isn’t about hyping yourself up to be seen—it’s about anchoring into a version of you who no longer needs to perform to belong.

Inside The Mirror, we don’t just talk about confidence—we build the emotional capacity and identity safety required to hold visibility, love, money, and leadership without bracing.

If this episode landed for you, DM me “SEEN” on Instagram and I’ll share how we can go deeper together.

In this episode, we’re unpacking what really happens when high-achieving, self-aware women finally slow down—and instead of peace, they find panic.

We’re talking about the hidden reason stillness feels triggering, why spiraling doesn’t mean you’re broken, and how to meet the pause without abandoning yourself.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be resting, but your nervous system starts freaking out instead... this one’s for you.

• Why highly creative, multi-passionate and ambitious women often feel unsafe in slowing down

• The truth behind why rest and space feel “wrong” or disorienting

• How we’ve attached our worth to movement, productivity, and “doing”

• The role of the nervous system in creating spirals when you're slowing down

• The difference between external success and internal safety

• What it really means to meet yourself in the sacred pause/void

What if your biggest business block isn’t strategy—but your relationship patterns?

In this episode of Flip the Switch, we’re diving into how unhealed relationship dynamics—whether in love, friendships, or family—are directly affecting your success in business.

• Why your business is a mirror of your relationships and how to use this awareness for massive growth

• How boundary issues, validation-seeking, and emotional instability in love and friendships show up in your leadership, sales, and money flow
• A simple mindset shift that will help you break these patterns and expand in both business and relationships

• If you fear rejection in relationships, you likely fear fully owning your voice and charging your worth.

• Emotional rollercoasters in love can keep you in fight-or-flight mode, making it hard to show up powerfully in business.

I disappeared for 5 months… and it wasn’t just a break. It was a transformation.

In this comeback episode of Flip the Switch, I’m pulling back the curtain on why I went silent, what I learned in that time, and how this podcast—and my entire body of work—is evolving. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve outgrown an old version of yourself and weren’t sure what was next, this one’s for you.

• Why I stepped back from the podcast—and what was really happening behind the scenes
• The 3 biggest lessons I learned about growth, identity shifts, and capacity
• How stepping away was actually an expansion move (not a setback)
• What’s next for Flip the Switch and why this new era will be bolder, deeper, and more powerful than ever
• How to know when you’ve outgrown your old self—and what to do about it

Growth isn’t linear—sometimes, expansion looks like pausing before you level up Your capacity dictates your success—not just strategy or effort Your next level requires an identity shift—you can’t take old patterns into a new chapter

If this episode hit home, screenshot it, share it on Instagram, and tag me @jessicamariestep—I’d love to hear what resonated with you!
