What happens when you're having your best month in two years and then one slow day sends you spiraling into "what if I have to fire everyone and change everything"? When the very success you've worked so hard to build becomes the thing that triggers your deepest fears about worthiness, sustainability, and whether you're chasing the right things?

Dr. Sara gets vulnerable about her recent fear spiral - from celebrating record profits to panicking about summer volume drops in the span of a week. But here's what's beautiful: this isn't a story about failure or weakness. This is about what happens when you've done enough inner work that a trigger that used to derail you for days now gets processed in 10 minutes. Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa dive into the three powerful questions their coach Pablo asked that cut straight to the heart of what was really happening: Are you chasing an idol? Are you flowing in your lane or someone else's? Are you being distracted from your main thing?

🔥 In This Episode:

• How success can become an idol that keeps you trapped in performance cycles
• The difference between your potential and your limits (and why crossing that line takes you away from your calling)
• Why volume-based metrics can trick you into thinking impact only comes from seeing more people
• How to recognize when seasonal business fluctuations trigger deeper identity fears
• The evolution from needing days to process triggers to handling them in minutes

This conversation challenges every entrepreneur who's ever felt like they're one bad day away from losing everything they've built. Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa show how the triggers that feel like setbacks are actually invitations to go deeper, get clearer on your vision, and stop sacrificing your life to chase someone else's definition of success.

What do you do when that voice inside gets so loud you can't ignore it anymore? When your body literally feels like it's on fire until you take action? For Dr. Stephanie Wigner, that divine whisper turned into a roar that led her to build three seven figure businesses in five years while raising a family, drinking Mountain Valley Spring water, and renting red Ferraris without apology.

This isn't your typical "hustle harder" success story. This is about a woman who grew up navigating parents with addiction, never quite fitting in with her outdoorsy family because she didn't like getting dirty, and channeling that outsider energy into something extraordinary. Stephanie went from working for someone else for 10 months (until her body screamed "NOPE") to building an empire that includes five chiropractic offices and The Wealthy Practitioner coaching company that's turning the entire industry upside down.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Why that divine voice gets louder until you finally listen and how to trust it completely
• How to scale from 12 hours of back to back coaching calls to systems that work without you
• Why she fired a seven figure client who wouldn't do the work (and how that changed everything)
• Navigating the fear of success when you're already visible and about to get MORE visible
• The real conversation about money, judgment, and why people get triggered by your success
• How she and Kyle navigate building empires while protecting their marriage and energy
• Her vision for speaking on Tony Robbins level stages and why she's creating her own instead

Stop apologizing for wanting more. This episode is pure permission to dream so big it scares you, to trust that voice that's been whispering (or screaming), and to build something that makes massive impact without sacrificing the people you're building it for. Stephanie proves that when you do the work, listen to your intuition, and refuse to dim your light, the universe conspires to make space for your expansion.

What happens when you find yourself sitting on a couch with a gun in your hand, contemplating ending it all because of a toxic relationship? For multimillion-dollar real estate agent Lauren House, it was her cat Bentley and a fierce refusal to let someone else "win" that sparked one of the most raw transformation stories we've ever heard.

This episode gets real about the messiness of rebuilding yourself after surviving a narcissistic, psychopathic relationship that stripped away your identity. Lauren doesn't sugarcoat anything. From the black heart numbness that follows trauma to setting boundaries as an attractive woman in business who refuses to work with men who "just want to bang me," this conversation is for anyone who's ever lost themselves and had to claw their way back to wholeness.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Why she stayed in a toxic relationship for two and a half years and the "God moment" that broke the spell
• Her "black heart theory" and navigating emotional numbness while still showing up for life
• How healing isn't linear and you can't predict what will trigger you until you're back in the situation
• Building a multimillion-dollar real estate empire while doing deep inner work
• Expanding from Scottsdale to Miami and why romanticizing dreams doesn't match reality
• The reality of attracting mini versions of toxic partners until you do your own healing work

Stop choosing between healing and building your empire. This episode proves that when you refuse to let someone else define your worth, when you do the brutal work of looking in the mirror and transforming from the inside out, you can build something extraordinary from the ashes of who you used to be.
