What if your exhaustion, fear, grief, and self-doubt don’t mean you’re failing?

What if nothing has gone wrong?

In this deeply personal episode, Shelby shares the story of grieving her son while he serves a church mission in South Korea, a divine moment at the water that reminded her she is never forgotten by God, and the surprising fears many women carry around visibility, success, expansion, and becoming fully themselves.

This episode explores:

The nervous system's fear of expansion
Why success can subconsciously feel unsafe
The connection between confidence and charity
The hidden grief underneath people pleasing and perfectionism
How shame keeps women small
Why your desire for more may actually be holy
The difference between surviving and truly being alive
How to use “What if?” as a tool for healing instead of fear

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, disconnected, stuck in self-doubt, or afraid to fully step into your gifts, this episode is for you.

Maybe your life is not falling apart.

Maybe it’s unfolding.

So many women think they’re exhausted because they’re overwhelmed, burned out, or dealing with nervous system dysregulation.

But there’s another huge energy drain hiding in plain sight: indecision.

When you sit on the fence—constantly weighing options, worrying about getting it wrong, or waiting for certainty—you end up leaking enormous amounts of energy.

In this episode, I share a raw reflection on how simply making a committed decision can unlock energy, clarity, and momentum in your life.

We also talk about:

• Why indecision keeps your nervous system stuck
• The power of recognizing that you always have choice
• How outcome independence frees you from fear
• Why you don’t need to “heal everything” before moving forward
• The simple question to ask yourself: What decision am I avoiding that’s costing me energy?

When you step into a decided identity—even before you see the results—your energy has somewhere to go.

And that’s when life starts to move again.

I’m back on the podcast after a season of big life transitions, deep inner work, and a whole lot of growth. Today I’m sharing what’s changed, what I’ve learned, and why this next chapter is going to be the most grounded, powerful, and aligned version of me yet.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear:

• Why transitions often feel like you’re “doing it wrong”
• How survival mode steals your energy (and why you’re not actually out of it)
• What collapse, fight/flight, and flow really feel like in your nervous system
• Why your vision is already inside you—long before you see evidence
• How I healed chronic pain and rebuilt my life through vision, identity, and safety
• What’s shifting in the podcast and how I’m bringing you with me

If you’ve felt stuck, tired, discouraged, or disconnected from your sense of possibility, this episode will help you remember who you’re becoming—and what’s already available inside of you.

Let’s be real.
I used to hold onto things way longer than I needed to—commitments, beliefs, expectations—just because I felt like I had to follow through. Like I wasn’t allowed to change my mind without being flaky, selfish, or weak.

But what I’ve learned through my own healing (and in coaching so many women) is this:

Changing your mind is not failure. It’s freedom.

In this episode, I’m sharing the nervous-system-informed truth about what makes it feel so hard to pivot, say no, or let go—and how to create safety in your body so that you can stop forcing it and start living in alignment.

You’ll learn:

Why your nervous system resists change (even when you want it)
How to tell when a pattern no longer fits—even if it once kept you safe
What fawning, hypervigilance, rest guilt, and perfectionism have in common
Why “I’m allowed to change my mind” is one of the most healing thoughts you can practice
Gentle ways to start honoring your truth without shame or fear

If you’ve ever felt stuck in something that used to make sense but doesn’t anymore, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.

Let’s give you the permission slip you’ve been waiting for.

🎧 Listen in and let me know what resonates most.

In today’s episode, I break down why confidence doesn’t come after you get the results you want—it comes before.

I teach you how to build true, identity-based confidence even if you’re tired, unsure, or stuck in perfectionism. This is the same process I use with my coaching clients to help them show up with clarity and power, long before everything looks perfect on the outside.

You’ll hear real stories from women who stopped waiting to feel ready and started becoming the version of themselves they’d been longing for. And I’ll walk you through how to do the same using thought work, nervous system safety, and small, intentional shifts.

If you’ve been telling yourself, “I’ll feel confident when…”—this episode is for you.

I talk about:

Why achievement-based confidence keeps you stuck
How identity-based confidence builds momentum and energy
The role of nervous system safety in confidence
Real-life stories from my clients (and me!)
5 powerful tools you can start using today

Ready to stop waiting to feel confident and start becoming the woman you want to be?

I know I’m not the only one who’s ever heard the phrase “fear not” and thought… okay, but how??

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the real reason why this verse used to feel like pressure instead of peace—and what finally helped me understand what God actually means when He says, “fear not.”

I take you back to one of the hardest seasons of my life, when I was in kidney failure and completely overwhelmed, and I show you how my relationship with fear (and faith) changed forever.

You’ll hear how fear is not a failure—it’s a nervous system response. And once you understand that, everything shifts.

In this episode, I walk you through:

Why you still feel afraid, even when you know God is with you
What your fear responses (fight, flight, freeze, and fawn) are trying to protect
How to gently work with your nervous system instead of judging yourself
Why “fear not” is a promise—not a performance
The exact tools I teach my clients to help their bodies feel safe enough to receive peace

This is the episode I wish someone had given me when I was trying to force my way through fear instead of learning how to soften and be held.

If your body still feels stuck in fear—even when your heart wants to trust—this one’s for you.

▶️ Listen now and let’s walk through fear together—side by side, with love and grace.

Ever have one of those days where you feel like everything you do is wrong and you just want to disappear? That’s not a failure—it’s a shame spiral.

In this powerful episode, I share a deeply personal story of coaching in front of a group and instantly spiraling into shame. I walk you through how shame shows up in your nervous system, what it does to your thoughts and body, and—most importantly—how to move through it with compassion, safety, and clarity.

You’ll learn:

The real difference between shame and guilt
Why shame feels so true in the moment (but isn’t)
Simple nervous system tools to exit the spiral
How to use ladder thoughts like and that’s okay to disarm self-criticism
Why making a PB&J can actually be a sacred act of healing

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re failing, falling behind, or just can’t get it together right now. Nothing has gone wrong. You’re not broken. You’re just in a shame moment—and there’s a way through.

Are you curious about coaching but not sure if it’s the right time—or the right fit?

This episode is for you.

If you’ve ever wondered:

What actually happens in a coaching session
Whether your life is “bad enough” to need help
How to tell if you're ready to commit to change
Or if coaching can really help you feel more energy, peace, and confidence...

…you’re going to leave this episode with so much clarity.

I break down what coaching is (and what it isn’t), who it’s for, and what it feels like to work with me. You’ll hear about the real work we do—yes, it’s mindset shifts and nervous system regulation, but it’s also tears, laughter, breakthroughs, and practical steps forward.

We’ll also explore how to stop waiting for “the right time” and instead ask better questions that move you toward the life you want.

If you're on the fence, stuck in indecision, or just curious—this is your starting point.

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough? Like you're running on empty but still pushing through?

In this powerful episode, I share my story of living under the weight of hustle culture: the constant pressure to achieve, perform, support everyone else, and never complain. I talk about what that looked like as a young mom, a military spouse, and a woman trying to do everything right — until my body forced me to stop.

This isn’t just a story about burnout. It’s a story about waking up.

If you’ve been exhausted, overwhelmed, or secretly wondering if this is just what life has to be — this episode is for you.

What You’ll Hear:

The invisible rules women live by in hustle culture
My story of over-functioning, burnout, and medical crisis
Why rest felt dangerous and how I learned to embrace it
What I gave up to get my life back — and what I’ve gained in return
A new way of living that honors your body, energy, and peace

This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to feel ready to move forward.

I share a story I’ve never told on the podcast before—what it felt like to decide to go back to work after 10 years of being a stay-at-home mom, after kidney failure, after thinking I’d never have the capacity to work again. I kept telling myself I needed to feel ready. But the feeling never came. What came instead was a quiet nudge: You get to choose.

If you’ve been waiting for the fear to go away before you take the next step…
If you’ve been stuck in overthinking, perfectionism, or chronic fatigue…
If you’ve been telling yourself, “Once I have more time/energy/confidence, then I’ll start…”
This episode is for you.

We’ll talk about:

What “not ready” actually sounds like in your life
How your nervous system plays a role in delaying action
The difference between feeling safe and creating safety
Three powerful coaching questions to move you forward today

I’ll also guide you through a grounding moment to help you connect back to your body and practice choosing readiness—right here, right now.

You’re not supposed to feel ready. You just get to decide.

Ever find yourself thinking, “They should know better” or *“I shouldn’t still be dealing with this”?
That’s not just frustration — that’s your manual talking.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the invisible rulebooks we carry for other people and ourselves — and how those silent expectations are draining your energy, stressing your body, and keeping you stuck in survival mode.

You’ll learn:

What a manual is (and how to spot one)
How your nervous system reacts when others don’t follow your rules
Why your self-manual is often the most exhausting of all
What to do instead to feel free, grounded, and like yourself again

If you’ve ever thought:

“Why am I so tired all the time?”
“I shouldn’t need this much rest.”
“Why can’t they just understand what I need?”

This episode will feel like a deep exhale.

What if the very thing you’re trying to force is the thing you actually need to release?

In today’s episode, I share the story of how releasing control—during one of the hardest times of my life—opened the door for the miracle I had been waiting for.

Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything right—eating clean, taking supplements, going to functional medicine—but still running on empty?

In this episode of Get Your Energy Back, we’re talking about something that hits deep for women living with chronic conditions: putting your health first—not after the dishes are done, not after the kids are settled, not after everything else is handled.

Because here’s the truth:
👉 You can’t do anything if you don’t have your health.
👉 And you don’t have to earn your right to rest, joy, or peace.

If your body is constantly in survival mode, no amount of green smoothies or magnesium will fix it until you get to the root of what’s draining your energy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why prioritizing your health isn’t selfish—it’s essential
The #1 mistake women with chronic illness make when trying to feel better
A 3-part framework to help you start reclaiming your energy today
A guided rib breathing exercise to calm your nervous system and reset in real time
Why simple steps aren’t enough—and what coaching can do to go deeper and make the change last

💬 Favorite Quote:

“Rest isn’t a reward for productivity—it’s the foundation of your healing.”

Do you ever feel guilty for taking time for yourself? If so, you’re not alone. Many women, especially those stuck in the fawn response, have been conditioned to believe that self-care is selfish.

In this episode, I break down:

Why women are taught that self-sacrifice equals goodness
How overgiving impacts your body, mind, and nervous system (with research-backed stats)
Insights from some of my favorite life coaches Brooke Castillo and Jody Moore on redefining selfishness
A three-step process to start prioritizing yourself without guilt

It’s time to let go of the fear of being selfish and start living a life where your needs matter too.

Are you stuck in a cycle of fatigue and frustration, trying to manage your emotions but still feeling exhausted? You might be making the mistake of trying to “out-regulate” your emotions — thinking that if you just calm down fast enough, you can avoid feeling the hard stuff.

Here’s the truth: Healing happens when you turn toward your emotions, not away from them. Even positive emotions like joy and success can feel scary if your nervous system doesn’t feel safe.

In this episode, I’m sharing why avoidance is keeping you stuck and how to make it safe to feel your feelings — so your body can finally heal.

In this episode, I’m diving into something that affects so many of us—flight mode—and how it might be draining your energy without you even realizing it. Have you ever caught yourself endlessly scrolling, over-cleaning, or jumping from task to task, feeling like you can’t quite settle down?

In this episode, we dive into a topic that's especially relevant if you constantly feel the pressure to stay busy: discovering how to rest without needing a nap.

We explore why rest is crucial for regulating your nervous system and maintaining a balanced, vibrant life.

I guide you on how integrating rest into your daily routine can protect you from the pitfalls of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and chronic busyness. Learn how to feel safe in your own body, switch off the constant fight-or-flight mode, and create a state of balance that enhances your overall energy and productivity.

I share powerful insights and personal stories to help you redefine your relationship with rest. From understanding the deeper need for rest to exploring simple yet effective strategies, this episode will give you the tools to prioritize rest without the guilt.

Hey there, it's me, Shelby, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to today's podcast! Let's talk about something that's close to my heart: creating space for healing and abundance. You know, I've been thinking a lot lately about how we can break free from that fear cycle and make room for real growth and healing, both emotionally and physically.

As Wayne Dyer once said, "abundance isn't something we acquire; it's something we tune into". Once you start tuning in, incredible things happen. We've all been fed the lie of scarcity.

It's time to break free from that mindset and embrace the truth: there's more than enough good and healing to go around.

So, join me as I share some personal stories, insights, and practical tips for cultivating gratitude and intentionally creating space for abundance in our lives. This podcast isn't just about healing; it's about living the life you've always dreamed of. So, grab a cup of tea, get cozy, and let's dive in together!

When you're not feeling great all the time, the "fear of missing out" (FOMO) can seem really big and unfair. In this episode, I share how honoring your body (and your need for rest), while learning how to grow your body’s comfort zone through gentle, loving, curious compassion, you get to live more of YOUR life YOUR way.

When you start honoring when your body asks you to dial back, she’s there for you when you want to rock at life too.

The most important piece is to stop steamrolling over the gentle nudges your body gives you and start giving her the mindful attention she deserves and craves.

Because, believe me, your body wants you to go out and have a fun time too.

And then you won’t have to “pay for it later”. Listen to this episode to find out how.

When you experience chronic fatigue, everything can feel hopeless and overwhelming. The last thing you might want to do is to understand how you're feeling. But using these key tools I tell you about in this podcast will help you to know exactly what to do when you feel all-consuming fatigue and exhaustion. And learning these techniques can help prevent burn out and exhaustion in the future.

In this episode, we'll talk all about what shame is and how it shows up for you...and what to do when you find yourself stuck in a shame spiral. I talk about the nervous system responses you might be experiencing when you feel shame and about how you can understand how your body experiences shame. The way that you feel shame can massively impact your energy level, so we're going to talk about that too.

But we don't just talk about shame. I also give you my 3-step process for how to move through shame using self-compassion (even when it feels hard).

In this episode, I'll be sharing my reflections on setting intentions and the role of spirituality as you gear up for a new school year. My aim is to make your life a bit brighter and help you feel empowered in your daily life.

I'm delving into personal experiences where I've felt the guidance of the Holy Spirit and how that inner knowing manifests physically within me, with an invitation for you to consider how the Spirit speaks to you. It's a unique sensation that serves as a powerful compass. Surprisingly, some of the most significant moments in my life, like meeting my husband and embracing a fourth child despite contrary plans, were guided by the Spirit's influence, leading me in directions I hadn't anticipated.

I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on your own encounters with peace, those times when everything felt aligned and right. As you step into the new school year, I invite you to consider incorporating Christ's guidance into your intentions. I firmly believe that this alignment can shape a transformative journey, allowing you to navigate challenges with a sense of purpose and tranquility.

So, as you move forward, remember that the intentions you set and the spiritual practices you embrace hold incredible power. By aligning yourself with these pathways of peace, you can craft a journey that's not only fulfilling but also deeply rooted in your faith. Let's embrace the upcoming school year with intention, purpose, and a Christ-centered focus, and see where this journey takes you. Here's to a remarkable and purposeful path ahead.

In this podcast, I will be discussing the importance of developing a positive relationship with your body. Having a good relationship with your body is the key to making healing happen. There are three main aspects to this relationship that I want to address: your thoughts about your body, paying attention to the sensations in your body, and interpreting what those sensations mean. It's important to understand that your thoughts about your body are significant and can create different energy states in the nervous system. Unfortunately, negative thoughts about the body are often perpetuated by societal pressures that benefit from people feeling bad about themselves. That's why I want to encourage you to intentionally decide what you want to think about your body and to focus on healing and feeling healthy. So take a listen and let's dive in and explore how to develop a positive relationship with your body.

I go into depth about the power of observing your beliefs and deciding what to believe on purpose.

It seems like everyone you're talking to around this time of year is dealing with a lot of stress. Transitions are hard, and the transition to fall, cooler weather, and school starting can feel a little overwhelming.

Believing that stress is actually good and healthy for you can impact your health in unexpectedly positive ways. Take a listen to learn more now.

You've heard of the "fight or flight response", but what else do you know about your nervous system? Did you know that this response is related to your nervous system? When your body activated in the sympathetic nervous system over time, it can have a harsh impact on your physical and emotional health. In this episode, I'll give you an intro on how to understand your body just a little bit better. Because when you can access the calm state--the parasympathetic state--things start to flow and true healing can occur. Learning how to access this state can bring down both emotional and physical pain. So let's dive in!

This week's episode features a special guest kidney AND pancreas transplant recipient, Mary McCorvey. I met Mary on a FB group when she had just completed a 5k around the time I was doing my first triathlon since my transplant.

It's easy to feel very powerless in your life. It's also easy to feel stuck and that what you do doesn't matter or doesn't make a difference. In this episode, I talk about some concepts from shame researcher Brene Brown and her book "The Gifts of Imperfection" to help guide you into feeling hope again. While hope is an emotion, Brene also sees hope as a strategy. I love talking about these strategies and seeing the beauty that hope creates in people's lives.

What happens when you indulge in an emotion? You find yourself doing things you don’t want to be doing. You are out of alignment with where you really want to be.

You find yourself binging Netflix, skipping the workout, canceling plans with friends, eating more than you’d planned, or overscheduling yourself and not giving yourself time to breathe.

SO what is the solution?

Allowing the emotion.

I'm going to teach you exactly how to do that.

In a world where you're taught to shove your feelings down and not be "so emotional", it can be hard to even know what you're feeling. You may have never asked yourself that question before. "What emotion am I experiencing?" In this episode, I share why it takes courage to show up for yourself emotionally and to be honest with how you are feeling. And I share how self-compassion helps you to move forward when you're feeling stuck. You don't have to be at the brink or at the end of your rope to start making positive changes today. With a little bit of courage and a healthy helping of self-compassion, you can start your emotional healing today. Because it's really cool what you can create when you step out of your own way.

It can feel so overwhelming when you're feeling out of sorts, but you just can't figure it out. This episode will give you the clarity you've been looking for. I share the 3 ways you may have been trying to stop feeling the way you do that hasn't been working for you. And I give you the special formula for understanding how to actually deal with emotions in a way that moves you forward instead of holding you back. Get ready to see just how good life can get when you start practicing loving ways of relating to yourself and your emotions. It doesn't make all the "bad" go away, but it does give you all the power back.

I give you my very best questions for taking back the power to rewrite your stories and become the hero of your very own story (without making other people out to be villains along the way). Can't wait to hear your new stories!

In this episode, I explore what happens in your mind when things aren't going how you thought they would in your health journey. I explain why you feel the way you do and I talk about two important concepts-- the clean pain and the dirty pain about any difficult situation.

Hi this is Shelby Hansen and this is Episode 1: and I'm so excited to share this podcast with you. Today I'm going to talk to you about the things and people who have helped me as I have gone through being diagnosed with a chronic illness.

In the spring of 2015 I was diagnosed with stage 4 chronic kidney disease. I was nearly given a blood transfusion on the spot because I was so sick. This diagnosis came very suddenly and unexpectedly in the middle of, what I thought, was a very normal mom-life. I had three children at the time, my husband was in the Air Force, and we had just moved to a new location. I had a really difficult time coming to terms with my diagnosis and what it would mean for my family and me. Thankfully, my diagnosis was not fatal, but it is chronic. It meant that it was something that I will be dealing with for the rest of my life. So in this episode, I want to let you know a little bit about how life coaching has helped me through this major transition.

When I was first introduced to life coaching the biggest lesson that I learned was that I am a person who has thoughts and I am not my thoughts.

I also learned that my thoughts are different from the facts. When I'm able to separate out the facts from the thoughts I have about the facts, it allows me to have ownership over my own reaction to those facts.

I thought it would be fun in this episode to tell you a little story about the very first life coaches that came into my life. They may not all call themselves life coaches, but they were to me.

Shelby Hansen is a life coach for people who have gone through incredible health challenges. On this podcast, she teaches you how to move forward from difficulty and disappointment and find the joy and abundance as you take charge of creating your own beautiful life.
