More than Lucky Podcast

What if the version of you that got you here was never meant to be the final version of you? In this nearly final episode of the Changing Identities series, we’re closing this chapter with a message of hope, encouragement, and renewed energy as we continue learning who we are in each new season of life. Identity is not something we figure out once and complete — it is fluid, constantly changing an...

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the loop of comparing your life, your success, or your timeline to someone else’s — you’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not broken. Comparison isn’t a personal flaw. It’s conditioning. But when left unchecked, it can quietly fuel anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional burnout. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with comparison anxiety — how it s...

Welcome to More Than Lucky Podcast , a reflective, soul-centered podcast for women navigating change, identity shifts, and personal growth — all while protecting their peace. In this special trailer episode, host Stephanie Lear introduces the heart behind the podcast and the intention for this space: to slow down, breathe, and remember that nothing needs to be solved right now. This is not a self-...

What if you’re not actually rebuilding who you are… but remembering? In this episode, I explore the shift from performance-based identity to living in alignment with your true self — your values, boundaries, and inner knowing. So many of us learn early on that our self-worth is tied to achievement, recognition, and meeting expectations. Over time, this can turn into people-pleasing, perfectionism,...

Throughout our lives, we take on roles — sometimes intentionally, and sometimes simply because life, family dynamics, or circumstances place them on us. In this episode of More Than Lucky , I’m exploring what it means to let go of identities and expectations that may have shaped us for years but no longer feel aligned with who we’re becoming. During seasons of personal growth and life transition ,...

There’s a space many women experience — but rarely name. It’s the quiet, sometimes uncomfortable season between who you were and who you’re becoming. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the in-between — that season of reinvention where clarity hasn’t fully arrived, the old ways don’t quite fit anymore, and you’re not entirely sure who you are right now. It’s not a dramatic transformation story...

Welcome to 2022!! So many of us start the new year by setting intentions for the year ahead. This January I am setting intentions and doing a 21 day manifesting challenge.

Saying 'no' to people and opportunities can seem like a reflex. In this episode I explore opening yourself up to people and opportunities by saying 'yes'. We hear so much no from a young age it becomes a familiar and safe reply to most things. What would happen if you started saying YES? This theme has been on my mind since my early twenties. Perhaps it was my first clue that I...

Accountability comes with all sorts of negative connotations but it is about so much more than taking responsibility for things that go wrong. It refers to completely taking ownership of the circumstances of your life and understanding that you are responsible for your relationships, reactions, choices, actions, communication and attitude. In today's episode I talk about the different areas o...

Getting started is always the hardest part. When you can compartmentalize getting started and separate it from the on going experience it is easier to see how the pain and suffering is likely to be short term. I share a breaking moment in my life that gave me the push I need to get started with making a huge change in my life. When the pain of change is less than the pain of staying the same, you&...

At one point in my life I thought my skin was what it was and I couldn't necessarily change it but just make it not as bad. I had a very dry t zone, very flaky on my nose and brow.

I was super impressed with how much moisture she a...
