From Burnout to Breakthrough: Empowering Your Mindset

with Chris Troka and Dr. LaChelle Wieme

What if the fastest way to grow your business wasn’t about doing more, but about deciding better? In this energizing Brain Work Frame Work Podcast conversation, host Chris Troka interviews peak-performance coach and business strategist LaChelle Wieme on creating what she calls “the And Life.” It’s a business that grows while your life feels peaceful, present, and aligned.

LaChelle shares her journey from a doctorate-level anesthesia career to full-time entrepreneurship, including the moment she realized she had traded her 9–5 for a 24/7 schedule. She opens up about what happens when achievement no longer equals fulfillment and how to reclaim your joy by trusting yourself again. Her approach blends metaphysics, brain science, and scripture to help high achievers simplify their strategy, align their energy, and see faster results with less force.

You’ll discover why decisions made from love, not fear, can transform your energy, your income, and your overall experience of business. You’ll also learn why your frequency shows up in every part of your work and how to shift it on purpose for better outcomes.

You’ll hear:

✔️ How “future-you” decision-making unlocks consistent 10K months with more ease

✔️ Why your energetic state affects sales calls, content, and client attraction

✔️ A simple process to move from overthinking to aligned action that feels fun again

If you’ve been doing “all the things” and still wondering why it’s not working, this conversation will remind you that clarity, peace, and prosperity can all exist at once. Listen in and start spiraling up.

From Burnout to Breakthrough: Empowering Your Mindset with Chris Troka and Dr. LaChelle Wieme

[00:50] Chris introduces peak performance coach and business strategist LaChelle Wieme, highlighting her years as a motivational speaker and coach.
[01:18] LaChelle shares her origin story: decades in anesthesia (master’s, doctorate, professor), then a nudge in 2016 to start an online business despite being an introvert with no social presence.
[02:50] Saying yes unlocked the vision of an “And Life” (impact and presence at home). In 2022, she left anesthesia to coach, consult, write, and speak.
[03:41] Reality check: quitting didn’t auto-create balance; she had traded a 9–5 for a 24/7. Many high achievers keep moving the goalposts.
[04:43] Chris asks how to stop spinning wheels.
[04:47] LaChelle: It’s simple but not easy—decisions. Trust your intuition instead of outsourcing to gurus. Focused effort on the right thing outpaces scattered action.
[05:52] Common blocks: undercharging from unworthiness, and fear of delegating or onboarding help. Decide like your future self would.
[06:45] Her approach blends metaphysics, brain science, and scripture. Your energetic state leaks into sales calls, posts, and podcasts. Low-energy output underperforms.
[08:00] Intuition vs. avoidance: Are you saying “no” because it’s misaligned, or because it’s scary? Learn to discern or you’ll stall.
[08:24] Tool: muscle testing to get yes/no clarity somatically.
[08:47] Ideal clients: service-based solopreneurs stuck short of consistent 10K months, doing “all the things,” burning out on strategy without alignment.
[10:00] On the victim mentality: It’s a limiting belief. Reclaim cause/effect by taking full ownership; power returns as soon as you do.
[11:10] Emotional Vibrational Scale: Thoughts create feelings, which set your frequency. Low states (shame, guilt, blame) pull in low-vibe experiences; high states (love, joy, gratitude) align with better opportunities.
[14:15] The Reticular Activating System (RAS) filters reality to match your beliefs and identity. Shift identity, then your brain finds confirming evidence.
[15:40] Universal success theme: successful people refuse to stay victims to circumstances.
[17:01] Applying quantum principles: less force, more flow; stop resisting; choose the one strategy that’s truly aligned.
[17:48] On gurus: Fear-based tactics create scarcity and resistance. Lead authentically; serve what people need, not just what they want.
[18:01] Decision rule: make choices from love, not fear.
[19:34] Law of Assumption: act “as if” you already are your future self. Identity first, proof later.
[21:17] Mirror neurons can’t tell real from imagined. The “lemon” visualization shows why rehearsing your preferred future programs your identity and actions.
[22:56] Where to find her: website, socials, and her podcast; she invites listeners to say hi.
[24:06] One recommendation: make the brave decision—hire, quit, launch—then celebrate the decision itself. Action beats stagnation.
[24:42] What’s ahead for 2025: a new book on her Flow State Money Method, more stages, and a high-end mastermind for advanced entrepreneurs.
[25:48] Final encouragement: think of growth as a spiral—you’ll revisit old edges, but you’ll recognize and pivot faster. Keep momentum.
[27:00] Close and gratitude.
