• 107. Fire, Flow, & Imperfect Creation: Make it Exist, THEN Make it Good. (The Perfectionist Diaries, Chapter Two)

  Creation requires both the fire and the flow.In Chapter Two of The Perfectionist Diaries, we explore the cosmic dance between masculine and feminine energy: the part of you that initiates, and the part of you that softens and refines.This episode is a gentle excavation of the shadows beneath perfectionism: the fear of being perceived, the fear of shining too brightly, the ways we reject our own wholeness.In this episode, you’ll learn how to start before you feel ready, hold yourself through imperfection, and create from your deepest truth.In it, we explore:The philosophy of “make it exist, then make it good” - separating creation (masculine/action) from refinement (feminine/receptivity).Why perfectionism exists: subconscious rejection wounds, fear of being seen, fear of success, fear of being misunderstood.Spiritual bypassing and how it keeps creators from healing the origins of their perfectionism.The necessity of shadow-work & some tools for creative recovery for anyone who wants to create authentically.The balance of masculine + feminine energy in the creative process.Survival vs. Creation: How survival mode kills creativity, and why you must bring play, fun, and joy back into the process.A framework for taking action from a place of wholeness 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 <3Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/figuring-sht-out/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

• 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!!!
