How To Push Through When Its Hard with special guest Ingeborg Mooiweer
How To Push Through When Its Hard with special guest Ingeborg Mooiweer Hosted by Nicole Ternay What happens when life keeps knocking you down—and you realize “pushing through” isn’t actually the answer? Ingeborg Mooiweer went through a staggering series of losses and life-changing events in just a few years: major surgery, the end of a relationship that turned into stalking, the deaths of multiple family members, and the realization that she had spent much of her life performing for someone else’s approval. And then something shifted. She stopped. She started seeing the patterns underneath her choices, strengthened her boundaries, and began asking a very different question: Who am I when I’m no longer performing for anyone? In this conversation, we get into survival mode, emotional patterns, boundaries, relationships, outside validation, grief, self-trust, and what it looks like to create an entirely new chapter of your life when the old one no longer fits. This one gets deep. And if you’ve ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns—even when you KNOW better—you’ll want to hear this conversation.

Making A Vow Of Silence with special guest Gayle Nowak -Listener Discretion is Advised What happens when staying silent to keep the peace becomes a cage? In this powerful conversation, Nicole sits down with communication and visibility expert Gayle Nowak to explore trauma, people-pleasing, self-abandonment, emotional safety, and the fear of being truly seen.

This is a conversation about finding your voice, trusting yourself, listening to your body, and learning that being visible isn’t just about confidence.

Why You Keep Repeating the Same Mistakes
Why You Keep Repeating the Same Mistakes Why do you keep repeating the same mistakes...even when you know better? In this episode of MavenHeart, Nicole Ternay explores the difference between repeating a mistake and repeating a pattern. From relationships and boundaries to procrastination, emotional eating, and putting yourself last, the behavior may not be the real problem. The pattern underneath it is. Nicole breaks down why familiar can feel right even when it isn’t aligned, why shame keeps us from learning, and what to look for in the moments right before you fall back into an old response. Because you don’t need to become better at controlling yourself. You need to understand yourself well enough that you stop fighting yourself. If this episode made you look at one of your own patterns a little differently, this is exactly the kind of work we do inside MavenHeart. MavenHeart is for women who are ready to stop fighting themselves and start understanding themselves...so they can change the patterns that keep pulling them back into an old version of who they are. Inside, we work on the deeper stuff: your body, your mindset, your relationships, your boundaries, your desires, and the patterns running underneath your choices. Because you don’t need another program telling you what to do. You need a space to understand why you do what you do...and become the woman you can’t go back to. Come join us inside MavenHeart.

How You Show Up
How You Show Up What if the life you want isn't just about what you do...but who you are being while you create it? In this episode of MavenHeart, Nicole Ternay dives into the often-overlooked connection between identity, patterns, self-trust, and the way you show up in your life. Because you can change your behavior, hit your goals, build the business, leave the relationship, or transform your body...and still be operating from the same old identity underneath it all. Nicole explores what happens when you stop waiting for external evidence, approval, or applause before becoming the woman you want to be. You'll be challenged to look at the patterns you're still carrying, the ways you may be abandoning yourself, and the tiny everyday choices that create evidence that you can trust yourself. The question isn't just "What do I want?" It's "Who am I being while I want it?" And perhaps most importantly: How do you want to show up? 🔗 Ready to discover what’s driving your patterns?

What Are We Doing And Why with Guest Joelle Moray
What Are We Doing And Why with special guest Joelle Moray What if the external markers of success are actually hiding a quiet, internal burnout? In this powerful episode of the MavenHeart Podcast, we sit down with Joelle Moray, a licensed Professional Counselor, TEDx speaker and author of the number one Amazon bestselling book What Are We Doing?! to unpack the raw reality of toxic hustle culture. Joelle shares her personal journey of walking away from a successful corporate career to build a business entirely on her own terms. We dive deep into the difficult internal shifts required to break free: unlearning the belief that your self-worth is tied to your productivity, navigating a massive identity shift, and learning how to trust your own hard-earned expertise. As a clinician who understands exactly what chronic stress does to the nervous system, Joelle brings a unique intersection of clinical insight and organizational performance. Together, we explore her deeply disruptive core belief: that ambition and recovery are not opposing forces. This conversation is your ultimate invitation to stop performing busyness, protect your peace, and give yourself permission to live fully on your own terms. Guest: Joelle Moray (LPC, NCC, Workplace Culture Consultant) Key Topics: Burnout Recovery, Nervous System Regulation, Redefining Self-Worth, and Dismantling Hustle Culture.
