Fear is the thing that keeps us stuck, convinces us to play small, and makes us believe we’re safer staying exactly where we are. But the truth? Everything you want—your joy, your business, your freedom, your highest self—is waiting for you on the other side of fear.

In this episode, Natalie breaks down what fear is actually costing you and how to start making decisions from trust instead. Because when you stop letting fear lead and start leading yourself, everything changes.

✨ Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

🔥 The hidden cost of staying the same and not taking action

🔥 How fear-based decision-making is keeping you stuck (and how to break free)

🔥 The power of the trust fall—what happens when you finally lean in and trust yourself

🔥 How to recognize fear in your body and shift into alignment

🔥 Why self-trust is the key to growth, success, and creating the life you want

If fear has been running the show for you, this is your wake-up call.

Manifestation is not just about wishful thinking, it’s about embodying the version of you who already has what you desire.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of some of the biggest manifestations in my life. From moving to California, buying our dream home (even in a crazy market), and getting pregnant against all odds, I’m breaking down what manifestation really looks like. The mindset shifts, the inspired actions, and the trust required to bring your dreams to life.

✨ Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The difference between wanting something and embodying it
• How quitting smoking cold turkey helped me manifest my dream move to California
• How I got creative to manifest our dream home, even when the market seemed impossible
• The wild story of how I got pregnant naturally after being told it was unlikely
• The key ingredients of manifestation: belief, aligned action, and trust

In this episode of Light Her Up, I’m breaking down the real signs that you might be stuck, even if you don’t realize it yet. I’m sharing my personal story of feeling disconnected in my “successful” life, how I ignored the signs for years, and the wake-up call that finally made me listen.

If you’ve ever felt drained, uninspired, or trapped in a life that no longer feels right, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why feeling stuck isn’t a failure—it’s a signal that you’re ready to grow

• The sneaky signs that you’re stuck (and why you might not recognize them yet)

Welcome to Light Her Up, the podcast for women ready to rediscover their purpose and reignite the light that's always been within them.

I'm your host, Natalie Bernacchi, a mom, entrepreneur, and former corporate professional who spent over 15 years climbing the corporate ladder only to realize I felt stuck, unfulfilled, and completely disconnected from myself after having kids.
