4 Hidden Patterns That Keep High-Achieving Women Stuck—And How to Break Them | Cynthia Garcia (Fan Fav)

This is a Fan Fav episode. You know those times when you find yourself lost in a fog of “shoulds”—feeling stuck, comparing yourself to others, and letting old stories hold you back? Yeah, you’re not alone. On this powerful episode, I sit down with the unstoppable Cynthia Pascuala Garcia, who’s not only lived through a traumatic childhood of poverty, addiction, and heartbreak, but has since rewritten her life from the inside out. Cynthia shares her signature “Stuck Story Coaching Method,” the psychology behind our limiting beliefs, and the crucial difference between seeking outside fixes versus doing the deep inner work. If you’re ready to drop the pressure, rewrite your own story, and finally get unstuck, this is the episode to play on repeat.
