The SPIRAL UP Podcast with Dr. LaChelle Wieme

Michelle Mikel spent twenty years staring at a black line at the bottom of a pool, the one thing in her lane that never moved and never talked back. She didn't know yet that line would end up naming her book, and the system that pulled her business back from the brink. In this episode, Michelle gets real about the season that cracked her open: a miscarriage, a devastating loss on her team, and a m...

There's a reason the same mindset work that used to move you forward suddenly stops working the moment things don't go as planned. It's not a discipline problem. It's not a focus problem. It's an identity problem, and in this episode, I'm breaking down why identity is the actual source code beneath every thought, feeling, belief, and behavior you have. I've spent years teaching the thoughts-feelin...

Rebecca Boyle grew up in a working class neighborhood in Northern Ireland during the end of the Troubles, where she didn't know a single person who owned a business or sat anywhere near the level she'd one day reach. Now she's a brand strategist helping other business owners get clear, confident, and visible. We sat down to talk about the thing most of us would rather avoid: putting ourselves in f...

I sat down with Erin Trier and she broke down why so many women hit their late thirties and feel like their body just stopped cooperating, even though nothing else in their routine changed. Erin is a functional health coach and mom of four who hit a wall around age 38. Everything she had always done to take care of herself stopped working, and she had no idea why. That experience led her to build...

There's a reason your affirmations feel hollow sometimes. You can say all the right things, think all the right thoughts, and still feel that quiet disconnect between what you're declaring and what your body actually believes . That gap is real, and this episode is about why it exists and what to do about it. In this episode, I break down the science of why your emotional state, not just your mind...

Dianne Shelton turned off her camera within two seconds the first time she went live. Now she runs a business helping entrepreneurs build the digital systems that set them free . In this episode, she and I get into the real conversation behind that kind of growth: what it actually takes to show up when everything in you is saying don't. Dianne's story is a good one. IT background, burnout she didn...

Olivia de Sousa spent years building a successful podcast management business. She was good at it, the income was steady, and she knew she'd transition out eventually. She just thought it would happen on her terms, in a sensible, planned-out way. Then she woke up at 1 AM to a message that everything had fallen through, dragged herself out of bed, and sat there at 2:30 in the morning fixing what sh...

If you feel like you're doing all the right things and still not seeing results, this episode is going to make something click. In this episode, I cover the two most common manifestation blocks I see, why they create frequency leaks, and the one shift that changes everything. Most people are stuck in one of two patterns without even realizing it. The first is doing, doing, doing, but from a place...

Morgan Rich didn't find his purpose by hustling harder. He found it by staying in the dark long enough to let something real emerge. In this conversation, he and I dig into why so many of us are performing a version of ourselves that was never actually ours to play. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still feel off, this one is for you. Morgan brings a grounded, disarmingly...

I got back from three weeks off and asked myself what I'd do tomorrow if I could do anything. The answer came so fast it surprised me: work on my Identity Recalibration Method. Not because I had to, but because it's the thing that's been quietly lighting me up for months while I was too buried in the day-to-day to give it real attention. That work is now changing everything about how I coach. So I...

There's a reason you keep doing the work and still feel stuck. And it's not because you haven't tried hard enough or haven't found the right modality yet. It's because almost everything in personal development is built around one flawed premise: find what's broken and fix it. I spent years doing exactly that, for myself and with my clients. And a few months ago, something clicked that changed ever...

Jason McKenzie didn't realize he'd built a cage until his customers told him he wasn't allowed to take a vacation. That moment cracked everything open, and what he found underneath changed the way he runs his business and his life. In this episode, I sit down with Jason, an author, speaker, and small business advocate, to talk about the beliefs that quietly trap business owners in their own compan...

Noelle Kustas came on a trip with me not knowing it would change her life. She came because she wanted to spend time together. What happened over the next seven days neither of us could have scripted. Noelle is one of my dearest friends and a soul sister in every sense. She's a community curator, a podcaster, a mom and wife, and someone who has done real work on herself over the years. But somethi...

There's a moment when you realize you've handed your power over to someone else, and suddenly you can't even articulate what you do or why people hire you. That happened to me. And it was exactly the wake-up call I needed. In this episode, I'm getting real about where I got stuck lately and walking you through my own experience applying the Flow State Money Method to get myself unstuck. This isn't...

What does it actually look like to build something that doesn't break? Not the highlight reel version, but the real version, where the clients don't show up, a pandemic shuts everything down, and you have to start over more than once? That's exactly what Dr. Terry Carter did. She's the CEO of Terry International Consulting and host of the Empowered Nurse Leader Summit, and she has built a global n...

Sales doesn't have to feel like a performance. In this episode, I sit down with Chris Castanes , author, speaker, and sales expert with 30+ years in the field, and we get into the real stuff: why rejection isn't personal, how to build a referral network that actually works, and how to make selling feel less like a transaction and more like a conversation. Chris started his career doing door-to-doo...

There's a pattern I see constantly in high-achieving women and business owners, and I lived it for years without even knowing it: the invisible weight of feeling responsible for how everyone around you feels . If I upset you, if I disappointed you, if you walked away from our conversation unhappy with me, that felt like my problem to solve. And it was quietly running everything. In this episode, I...

Are you chasing the next big milestone only to find that once you hit it, you feel absolutely nothing? I sat down with somatic leader Brianna Rose to talk about the "numbness" of success and why our bodies often rebel against the very growth we’re praying for. We explore how to move past the "lone wolf" burnout and start training your nervous system to actually hold the abundance you’re creating....

Are you staying in a "safe" corporate career because you’re terrified that pursuing your dream means entering a season of desperate hustle and financial lack? I sat down with my friend Foluke Olayele to talk about how she successfully transitioned from a 24-year lucrative sales career into her own financial coaching practice by building a bridge rather than just taking a blind leap . We pull back...

What do you do when fear hits your body before your mind can catch up? In this episode, I walk you through a real-time moment of uncertainty after a dermatology appointment triggered memories of a past melanoma diagnosis. Instead of pushing through or pretending I was fine, I used the exact somatic and spiritual tools I teach inside my programs. This conversation is about processing fear without s...

Have you ever found yourself gripping so tightly to the life you thought you’d have… that your hands were bleeding? Sometimes the hardest thing we are called to do is not push harder. It’s not hustle more. It’s not try to fix everyone else. Sometimes the most powerful move is to let go and let God . In this episode, I sit down with Alli Vaith for a real, honest conversation about what it looks lik...

Have you been pretending you’re fine, while shame and pressure quietly run the show behind the scenes? In this episode of the Spiral Up Podcast, I sit down with Paul Simard, a death doula and men’s wellbeing guide, to talk about what most of us avoid: grief, shame, and the emotional weight we keep stuffing down because we think we should “handle it.”  Spoiler alert, that strategy is exactly w...

What if hustle feels exhausting because you’re forcing outcomes that were never meant to be forced? In this episode of the Spiral Up Podcast, I break down how quantum entanglement explains why aligned, responsive action creates better business results than pushing harder. This is not about doing nothing or waiting around. It’s about understanding how connection, timing, and coherence drive sustain...

What do you do when life changes overnight and the version of you who “had it together” is suddenly gone? In Episode 121 of the Spiral Up Podcast, I sit down with Jan Reed , one of my closest friends and one of the wisest women I know. Jan is a former educator turned life coach who now supports my clients with subconscious belief programming , and she is living proof that joy can exist alongside g...

Have you ever felt like one hard season could take you out completely? I wanted to have this conversation because I know what it feels like when life is heavy and you still have a business, a family, and responsibilities that do not pause. Christina Wood is one of my favorite examples of what it looks like to keep rising with faith, support, and real systems. This is not polished perfection. It is...
