The Hidden Reason You Feel "Fine" But Stuck and Unfulfilled

with Erin Trier and Dr. LaChelle Wieme

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you need a better strategy, but because you’ve stopped trusting yourself?

In this conversation on the Empowered in Health Podcast with Erin Trier, I’m sharing the journey from building a life that looked successful on paper to realizing I was still overthinking, overwhelmed, and quietly disconnected from myself. We dive into the patterns that keep so many women stuck in burnout, perfectionism, fear, and “fine” living, even when they know they’re capable of more.

Together, we unpack the connection between faith, nervous system regulation, identity, confidence, and aligned action. I share how subconscious beliefs and internal pressure can quietly sabotage your momentum, and why true transformation starts when you stop fighting yourself internally.

We also talk about slowing down, listening inward, honoring your body, and learning how to take small aligned steps instead of trying to do all the things at once.

In this episode, we get into:

- Why “fine” can become the enemy of fulfillment

- How limiting beliefs and subconscious patterns shape your decisions

- The role self-trust plays in business, health, relationships, and purpose

This conversation is honest, empowering, and deeply reflective for any woman who’s tired of hustling harder and ready to create a life that feels peaceful, purposeful, and aligned. If you’ve been craving more clarity, confidence, and momentum without sacrificing yourself in the process, I think this episode is going to speak directly to your heart.

The Hidden Reason You Feel "Fine" But Stuck and Unfulfilled with Erin Trier & Dr. LaChelle Wieme

[00:00]

LaChelle opens the conversation with a powerful reminder that “fine” can quietly become the enemy of fulfillment. She explains how so many women settle into lives, businesses, relationships, and routines that look acceptable on the surface but leave them disconnected from the deeper purpose and joy they know they were created for. Instead of accepting “fine” as normal, she encourages listeners to recognize where they are being called into something greater.

[01:26]

LaChelle shares her personal journey from becoming a CRNA and checking every box of external success to realizing she still felt disconnected internally. Even with the career, marriage, education, and stability she once dreamed of, she found herself overthinking, doubting herself, and feeling like she was standing in the way of the bigger life God had for her. Entrepreneurship eventually became the catalyst that forced her to confront her fears, heal limiting beliefs, and learn to trust herself more deeply.

[17:26]

The conversation shifts into the importance of starting small instead of trying to transform everything overnight. LaChelle and Erin discuss how women often get trapped in all-or-nothing thinking, believing they have to completely overhaul their lives to create change. Instead, LaChelle emphasizes the power of slowing down, simplifying, and taking aligned action consistently. She explains that confidence and self-trust are built through small decisions and intentional daily choices, not dramatic perfection.

[23:52]

LaChelle introduces her humorous “big butts” analogy, explaining how excuses and limiting beliefs quietly keep people stuck. She shares how subconscious beliefs are often planted through emotional experiences and can continue influencing decisions for years without people realizing it. While she previously focused heavily on uncovering every root cause, she explains that her philosophy has evolved into helping women focus more intentionally on who they want to become rather than constantly energizing what is wrong.

[25:27]

Building on that idea, LaChelle explains her belief that every person already carries God’s power, gifts, and purpose within them. She describes transformation not as becoming someone entirely different, but as remembering who you truly are underneath fear, conditioning, stress, and survival patterns. The conversation dives into identity, alignment, and learning how to operate from a place of trust instead of force.

[36:32]

One of the most emotional moments of the episode centers around LaChelle’s reflection on her own body image and healing journey. She shares how years of believing her body was “broken” led her to disconnect from caring for herself. Through inner work and somatic healing, she began asking herself a transformative question: “If your body could talk to you, what would it say?” That perspective shift helped her begin seeing her body as resilient, worthy, and deserving of care rather than criticism.

[38:33]

The conversation closes by tying together neuroscience, identity, faith, and nervous system regulation. LaChelle explains that true confidence is not created by external achievement alone, but by learning to become the version of yourself who naturally makes aligned decisions and follows through on them. Erin reflects on how deeply women have been conditioned to live in stress and survival mode, and both women encourage listeners to pause long enough to identify what is no longer serving them so they can create healthier, more intentional lives.

[52:23]

As the episode wraps up, LaChelle invites listeners to continue the conversation, connect with her online, and explore her book Get Out of God’s Way. She reminds women that transformation does not require hustling harder, but rather learning to trust God, trust themselves, and take aligned steps toward the life they truly desire.

You were never meant to chase what God already designed you to attract.

Helping faith-led women build businesses that flow with peace, purpose, and prosperity.
