The SPIRAL UP Podcast with Dr. LaChelle Wieme

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 the curtain on the "identity work" required to stop undercharging for your brilliance and how to view your current 9-to-5 as your very first high-paying client. If you've ever felt like your cultural background or past "failed" business attempts were holding you back, this conversation will help you reframe those exact things as your greatest entrepreneurial superpowers.

✔️ Why your current corporate paycheck is actually the ultimate seed money for your future freedom
✔️ The specific 50/10/10/10/20 financial framework that eliminates scarcity and actually mandates "fun money"
✔️ How to borrow the belief of a coach or mentor until your own confidence catches up to your calling

You have permission to build a safety net that honors your future self while you courageously step into the work God has prepared for you.

I'd love for you to explore these resources as you begin your own transition.

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 spiraling, regulating your nervous system in the moment, and choosing alignment instead of default reaction.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to process fear in your body without energizing it with “because” stories
Why naming the emotion and asking “what does this feel like?” changes everything
The difference between honoring emotions and getting stuck in them
How verbal processing and support regulate your nervous system faster
Why mortality awareness can become a powerful life design wake-up call
How to shift back into grounded action without bypassing what is real

If you’ve ever found yourself caught in a “what if” spiral, tried to positive-think your way out of anxiety, or felt fear take over your body, this episode will give you a simple, embodied way forward.

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 like when life does not go according to plan. We talk about rebuilding after disappointment, navigating motherhood and business in the middle of hard seasons, and learning to release control when holding on is only hurting you.
Alli shares what it meant to stop forcing an outcome that wasn’t aligned anymore and how choosing faith, community, and courage helped her rebuild stronger than before. This is a conversation about resilience as a woman, about authenticity in leadership, and about the freedom that comes when you stop trying to look perfect and start living real.

If you are in a season where things feel heavier than you expected… you are not behind. You are not failing. You are growing.

And sometimes growth begins with surrender.

You do not have to hold everything together to be strong.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
How to release control and rebuild when life doesn’t go as planned
Why authenticity creates deeper connection in business and leadership
The role of faith and community in navigating hard seasons with resilience

If this episode encouraged you, share it with a woman who needs permission to let go and start again. And be sure to subscribe so you never miss a conversation designed to help you spiral up with clarity and courage.

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 what keeps you stuck.

Paul shares a powerful story about unexpectedly losing his job, hiding it for weeks, and how unprocessed grief turns into a spiral down that shows up in your body, your business, and your relationships. We unpack what it really means to become stoppable, not quitting, not collapsing, but learning to slow down long enough to feel what’s real, regulate your nervous system, and choose what happens next.

If you’ve been in fight mode, trying to power through, this conversation is your permission slip to breathe. You’re not broken. You’re human. And your emotions are not the enemy, they’re information.

What if depression is really a collapse of imagination, not a personality flaw?
The “get to” mindset shift that changes everything when life hits hard.
Simple nervous system tools you can use today to stop the shame spiral.

Listen now, and if this hits home, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review so I can keep bringing you conversations that help you spiral up.

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 sustainable growth.

I share real-life examples of quantum entanglement in action and explain how modern physics challenges the belief that more effort automatically equals more success. These principles apply directly to decision making, sales, leadership, and how you grow your business without burning yourself out.

Drawing on ideas first explored by Albert Einstein, we explore why forcing outcomes creates resistance, and how working with alignment instead of control leads to more ease, clarity, and momentum.

You are not behind. You are not broken. You may simply be forcing what wants to flow.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why doing more often creates noise instead of traction
How aligned action produces results with less burnout
What quantum entanglement reveals about timing, readiness, and connection
