• 105. Don't Hope - DECIDE: Awakening your Inner Power with Choice

  Decision is the bridge between your current reality and your highest potential. It is the pathway from survival to creation, from fear to embodiment, and from wishing to CHOOSING. Because maybe you're not stuck - maybe you're just.. undecided. And maybe, without realizing it, your lack of decision has already become one: the choice to stay disconnected, half-alive, half-in.This episode is a wake-up call. A reclamation of your creative power through the art of choosing. We explore how fear, numbness, and ambivalence keep us suspended between worlds, and how reconnecting to your body allows clarity, creativity, and conviction to return.You'll learn: Why hope without action can become a disguised form of fear.How emotional numbness and ambivalence block your creative energy.Somatic and practical tools to reconnect with your desire and direction.How trauma shapes indecision and how to reprogram your body for clarity.An 8 step framework to shift looping thoughts into embodied, decisive action.The energetic process of turning decisions into lasting change.xIF YOU <3 FSO, RATE THE PODCAST, LEAVE A COMMENT & SAY HI, AND STAY CONNECTED!COSTA RICA 2026!!!COMMUNITY / ROAD LESS TRAVELED INVITE: DM Me "Invite" On IG (@byvanessafontana)MAILING LIST (10% off Merch + a Free Energy Protection Meditation <3)IG: @byvanessafontanaTIKTOK: @butterflyfountain MERCHWRITE TO ME FOR A CHANCE TO BE FEATURED ON AN UPCOMING EPISODE My Substack <3xGET 40% OFF OF YOUR CALM SUBSCRIPTION HERE: calm.com/vanessaFSO Episode 82: How EMDR HealsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/figuring-sht-out/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

• 104. The Seriousness of Being UNSERIOUS: Why Joy is Imperative, Not Naive.

  I don't know about you - but cynicism has never brought me more life. Judgement towards myself or others has never given me more purpose. Feeding resistance and resentment has never watered the seeds of my growth. Contrary to popular belief - joy is not naive. It is imperative. And this radical, yet simple decision to take the unserious seriously is what enables us to let go a little deeper into the necessary whimsy of life that makes it worth living. This week, we explore why learning to feel, experience, and hold a state of joy is THE most important work you'll do for yourself, others, and dare I say... humanity. My intention is that you leave this episode with powerful reframes that root you deeper into the presence of your being and allow you to feel more ease in the more-than-enough purpose of simply being alive. xIF YOU <3 FSO, RATE THE PODCAST, LEAVE A COMMENT & SAY HI, AND STAY CONNECTED!COSTA RICA 2026!!!

• 103. The Safety to be SEEN: Finding Your People When You're Finding Yourself

  This week, we explore the tender space between solitude and connection, moving deeper into the theme of unapologetic self-expression (especially for those of us who learned to hide in self-protection.)For those of us who have long identified as "introverts," I ask you a very important question: are you ACTUALLY an introvert? Or do you just have social anxiety and are you scared to be seen?On today's episode, we explore the spectrum of introversion / extroversion as it relates to the safety to be seen and explore the truth behind these labels, social anxiety, and the self-preserving patterns that make us believe we're safer unseen and how to gently unravel them and find aligned community.We root into this theme of community and belonging - something so many of us strive to find in a chronically online, disconnected world - and how to find it when you're in the process of finding yourself.I take you through my own story of social anxiety, self-preservation, outgrowing friendships as a result of coming of age, coming into rediscovering platonic love in a new way, and explore how self-connection can expand into communion with others.If you take away one thing from this dialogue, let it be this:WHEN YOU LET YOURSELF BE SEEN, YOU LET YOURSELF BE LOVED! & YOU DESERVE TO BE BOTH SEEN + LOVED.(but how???? well, just sit back, relax, and listen <3)This episode is a part 2 to episode 102 (Unapologetic, Unconditional Beingness) (no need to listen in order!)xIF YOU <3 FSO, RATE THE PODCAST, LEAVE A COMMENT & SAY HI, AND STAY CONNECTED!COSTA RICA 2026!!!

• 102. Unapologetic, Unconditional Beingness: Take up Space! Resist the Urge to Shrink! Be!! You!!

  Many of us have come to know our true selves and what alignment feels like to *some* extend, but how do you ~stay~ aligned, even when life isn't? Even when your environment.. isn't?This episode is all about staying rooted in love, alignment, and authenticity - no matter what’s happening around you. We explore the continuum of contrast, the wound of rejection, and the habit of people-pleasing that pulls us out of ourselves and keep us small - especially when faced with people who project, misunderstand, or drain our energy..Because here’s the truth: the world does not have to comply for you to feel good. You do not have to change anyone or anything to be at peace. Alignment is because of *you*, not your circumstances.In this episode, you'll learn how to take radical responsibility for your alignment, understand your conditioning, and release control-oriented patterns that keep you small.We talk inner child healing, shadow work, and the truth about introversion (& social anxiety) as self-preservation - and how to bring your full, radiant self into every room.

• 101. A Guide to "Quantum Leaping", Collapsing Timelines, & Heart Coherence

  On this episode, we’re breaking down the real mechanics of manifestation and demystifying the heavily marketed *woo-woo* behind it.(....Coming from a girl who loves and firmly embraces the woo-woo.)Spirituality and science are finally beginning to speak the same language, and on this episode, we’re translating both. This is a deep-dive into the inner physics of creation: how emotion shapes matter, how the heart bends time, and how the future already lives inside of you.We dive into the fundamental power within all of us to access emotional alchemy - dissipating past pain and creating a more expansive future and we do this by covering it alllll - the neuroscience, the energetics, and the emotional regulation behind true transformation.Pens & Papers out today folks because Class!
