Life, Mastered with Molly Claire 225. Knowing Your Worth Beyond Achievement with Dr. LaChelle Wieme
So many high-achieving women are stuck on the hamster wheel of checking the boxes and doing it all. We’re conditioned to believe the next strategy or accomplishment will somehow lead us to our worth, and even though this may give us a sense of certainty and control, that doesn’t mean this behavior is truly serving us.
Today, I’m joined by Dr. LaChelle Wieme, speaker, author, and host of The Spiral Up Podcast. LaChelle shares her story of going from chasing degrees and titles to realizing she was caught in a race for achievement, using success as a way to prove her worth. She introduces the idea of “the and life”: the possibility of feeling challenged and fulfilled, while also being present and connected. This episode is an invitation to see that mastering your life isn’t just about changing your situation—it’s about paying attention to what’s happening underneath the surface. Without shifting our internal patterns first, we often experience the same stress and burnout, even in a new environment.
We explore why strategy alone isn’t the issue, and how nervous system regulation is essential for sustainable change. LaChelle explains how a balance of masculine and feminine energy allows us to both access inner guidance and take aligned action. You’ll also hear how, through heart-brain coherence, we create safety, clarity, and access to intuition so we can make decisions from a grounded place rather than pushing through overwhelm.
Life isn’t happening to you—it’s happening for you. When you trust yourself, your discernment, and the guidance available to you, you stop giving your power away to external outcomes and learn to feel safe within your body. From that place, you can stop chasing worth and start creating a life that includes more clarity, ease, and fulfillment. Let’s dive in!
What you’ll learn:
- How unexamined toxic thought patterns and subconscious conditioning quietly shape your decisions
- Why sacrificing yourself for long-term gain doesn’t work if the underlying patterns driving your behavior haven’t been healed
- How a balance of masculine and feminine energy combines execution and follow-through with inner guidance
- What it looks like to stop forcing outcomes and allow guidance to move you forward without burnout
- Why slowing down to ask “what’s the right next step for me?” can be more powerful than following strategies out of obligation
