The SPIRAL UP Podcast with Dr. LaChelle Wieme

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 honest leadership in real life.

✔️ You will feel less alone in the moments where you wonder if you can keep holding everything at once.
✔️ You will see how building systems and a strong team creates real stability when life gets unpredictable.
✔️ You will walk away with permission to ask for help, receive support, and lead with grace without losing your edge.

You are not failing because life feels heavy. You are human, and you are still capable.

If you want support and resources that match this season you are in, I have a few places you can start.

What if the heaviness you feel in your business isn’t burnout or discipline issues, but a signal that something is out of alignment?

In this episode, I’m sharing a very real, very vulnerable look at how my own podcast stopped feeling fun and started feeling heavy, and how my body noticed long before my mind caught up. I break down what aligned action actually feels like, how misalignment shows up physically and emotionally, and why forcing consistency can quietly drain your creativity, peace, and momentum.

This conversation is about learning to trust yourself, trust God, and recognize when it’s time to pivot without shame. Alignment doesn’t mean easy or comfortable, but it does mean clean energy, clarity, and forward movement that doesn’t cost you your peace.

☑️ How to recognize misalignment before burnout hits
☑️ Why forcing consistency creates resistance instead of results
☑️ What shifted when I chose embodiment over obligation

If something in your business feels heavier than it should, this episode will help you pause, listen, and realign so your next steps feel clear, grounded, and supported.

Have you ever wondered why you’ve been doing so much inner work, yet the external results haven’t shown up the way you expected?

I’ve been feeling the same tension, and what I’ve come to understand is that some seasons are designed to strip away what no longer fits before momentum can build. What felt heavy, slow, or frustrating wasn’t wasted time. It was preparation for movement that actually lasts.

✔️ Recognizing when discomfort is a sign of growth rather than failure
✔️ Releasing old identities, habits, and expectations that no longer align
✔️ Shifting from internal processing into grounded, intentional action

This season isn’t asking you to push harder. It’s asking you to move forward differently, with clarity, commitment, and trust in what’s already been built.

Why does planning feel so overwhelming even when you are doing everything right?

I see so many women blaming themselves for lack of discipline or consistency when the real issue is something deeper. When vision is unclear, every decision feels heavy, every task feels urgent, and planning starts to feel like pressure instead of support. That is not a motivation problem. It is a clarity problem.

When vision comes first, strategy finally has something solid to stand on. Decisions get cleaner, follow through feels more natural, and momentum stops requiring force.

✔️ Overthinking eases when there is a clear internal anchor guiding decisions
✔️ Planning becomes supportive instead of draining
✔️ Action feels aligned instead of reactive

If you’re tired of forcing execution, overthinking every move, and wondering why nothing feels easeful anymore, this conversation is for you. Vision changes how you decide, what you say yes to, and how you move forward.

What if the thing you’ve been calling selfish is actually the very desire God placed in your heart on purpose?

So many faith-driven women feel stuck not because they lack discipline or strategy, but because they feel guilty wanting more. More impact. More freedom. More income. More joy. Somewhere along the way, we learned that dreaming bigger meant we weren’t trusting God. That planning meant control. That desire meant ego.

In this episode, I’m breaking that belief wide open.

I share my own story of wrestling with vision, disappointment, and the fear of hoping again, and how avoiding vision kept me stuck longer than any failure ever did. We talk about why God uses desire as guidance, how scripture actually supports vision and action, and why clarity doesn’t pressure God, it prepares us to partner with Him.

If you’ve ever felt afraid to dream again, unsure if you’re hearing God correctly, or hesitant to admit what you really want, this conversation will meet you right where you are and invite you to something more honest, grounded, and faith-led.

☑️ Why guilt around wanting more is not humility, it’s conditioning
☑️ How God uses desire as a lamp for your next step
☑️ What “this or something better” really means when you trust Him

If this stirred something in you, subscribe and listen now. This might be the permission you’ve been waiting for.
