This week on WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, shares a Thanksgiving-week message built around one grounding truth: “Meaning is made in the moments.” This episode introduces what Deanna calls the MOMENTOUS FIVE — five kinds of moments that help you stay grounded through the holidays and beyond. These moments clear the old stories, soften reactions, and open the door for real gratitude in real life. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why meaning grows inside real moments, not imagined stories • How to notice the small, steady moments you usually overlook • How to step out of old patterns and stay present with what is true • How repair often begins with one soft choice • Why living in alignment with what matters most creates gratitude that lasts Memorable Quotes — One From Each of the MOMENTOUS FIVE: • “What is actually happening right now? And what am I adding on top of it?” • “Minute Moments are the way gratitude taps you on the shoulder.” • “You can be grateful for the lesson a moment gave you — even if you wouldn’t want to relive it.” • “Mending does not mean everything is fixed. It means something has started to shift toward healing.” • “Matterful Moments are the ones where what you value and how you live begin to match.” This episode invites you into a lived, grounded form of gratitude — the kind shaped by Mindful Moments , Minute Moments , Meaningful Moments , Mending Moments , and Matterful Moments . When you notice them, the truth of your life comes back into focus, and when you let them matter, they influence the days ahead in ways that make space for gratitude to grow. Your WORDS MATTER — and your MOMENTS MATTER — because YOU MATTER. ❤️❤️❤️ Text Deanna! She'd love to hear from you! Support the show ❤️❤️❤️ Let’s Keep the Conversation Going!

"Success Leaves Clues." 10:08

This week on WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, focuses on a quote made famous by Tony Robbins and first spoken by Jim Rohn: “Success leaves clues.” Most people hear that line and immediately study everyone else’s habits and systems. But the real power of this message is learning to trust the evidence you’ve already lived — the patterns that carried you, the choices that moved you forward, and the moments that revealed what works. When you start noticing those clues, you see how much wisdom your own story already holds. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why the clues from your own life are the most reliable ones • How small patterns reveal what genuinely moves you forward • Why comparison pulls you away from what already works • How asking honest questions can guide your next step • How to start noticing what you already know works Memorable Quotes: • “Success leaves clues.” — Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn • “Your own success? It leaves clues, too.” • “If I repeated this action for a hundred days, will this take me closer or further from my goals?” • “We almost always know what works for us. We just forget to trust it.” • “Your life has been handing you evidence — sometimes loudly, sometimes softly — about what helps you thrive.” • “Look for the clues you’ve already lived. Notice them. Name them. Let them guide you.” This episode is your reminder that the answers you keep searching for are often the ones you’ve already lived. The clues are there. They’ve been there. You simply get to notice them. Your WORDS MATTER, because YOU MATTER. ❤️❤️❤️ Text Deanna! She'd love to hear from you! Support the show ❤️❤️❤️ Let’s Keep the Conversation Going!

"Outcome Over Effort" 13:51

This week on WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, opens up about a moment when the weight of a task felt bigger than it should have. One shift changed everything — a shift that brought her back to purpose, steadied her steps, and gave her the clarity she needed to move again. “Outcome Over Effort.” Those three words became the anchor after she heard Scott Adams ask a question that stopped her mid-scroll: “What if laziness is nothing but a habit of thinking about the effort instead of thinking about the outcome?” What unfolded next is a story about refocusing on what completion gives you, instead of what the work demands from you. It’s a reminder that your attention can either trap you in hesitation or pull you forward. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why effort feels heavier when your mind fixates on the cost • How outcome-focus restores direction and motivation • How to interrupt avoidance when resistance shows up • Why one simple action can restart momentum • Five practices to help you follow through when the task feels big Memorable Quotes: • “Outcome Over Effort.” • “What if laziness is nothing but a habit of thinking about the effort instead of thinking about the outcome?” — Scott Adams • “When your mind replays the effort, the purpose slips out of view.” • “The task didn’t shrink, but the focus changed the way forward.” • “One small step creates motion.” • “Effort has always led to something worthwhile.” • “Lift your gaze. Focus on what finishing gives you.” This episode reminds you that movement returns the moment you reconnect with the payoff waiting on the other side of the work.

"I DON'T Do Can't." 10:55

This week on WORDS MATTER, Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, shares a moment from behind the scenes of finishing her first book, ROOTED: Your 30 Day Journey Toward Whole-Self Health. What started as frustration and exhaustion turned into a reminder that words don’t just describe our reality – they define it. “I DON’T DO CAN’T.” Born from a breaking point, that phrase became Deanna’s own Empowered Refusal — a concept she first heard from Marie Forleo, based on research by Dr. Vanessa Patrick. The study found that saying “I don’t” instead of “I can’t” changes how the brain processes decisions, strengthening conviction and follow-through. This episode reminds us that language shapes identity and that the words we choose — especially in the hard moments — can either drain our strength or call it back to life. What Listeners Will Learn: • The science behind the Empowered Refusal and how it builds self-trust • Why “I don’t” is more powerful than “I can’t” • How to reclaim your authority through intentional language • Why empowered words create sustainable confidence and follow-through • How to use “I DON’T DO CAN’T” as a daily anchor in hard seasons Memorable Quotes: • “I DON’T DO CAN’T.” - Deanna Ley • “‘I can’t’ sounds like restriction, but ‘I don’t’ says, ‘This is who I am, and this is what I choose.’” • “Our words tell our brains what’s possible.” • “Empowered Refusals build conviction, confidence, and follow-through.” • “Each time you shift from ‘I can’t’ to ‘I don’t,’ you’re reminding your brain of who’s in charge.” • “Say it until you feel it. Let it anchor you. Let it remind you that you always have another choice.” • “I don’t do can’t. I do courage. I do persistence. I do returning to myself, even when it’s hard.” When life feels heavy and doubt whispers “you can’t,” this episode is your reminder that you can, you will, you must, and you are — because the words you speak to yourself will always lead the way.

This week on WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, explores a different kind of adventure — the kind that begins with a simple “YES” and leads to possibility you didn’t see coming. “Spontaneity is where possibility lives.” In this episode, Deanna shares the story of a spur-of-the-moment purchase — a 1992 StarCraft Meteorite pop-up camper — and how it sparked a reflection on what healthy spontaneity really means. You’ll hear the difference between openness and recklessness, why overthinking can close doors, and how even small, life-giving adventures can reawaken your sense of wonder. What Listeners Will Learn: • How healthy spontaneity balances courage with wisdom • The difference between being spontaneous and being irresponsible • Why overthinking can turn possibility into missed opportunity • Simple, everyday ways to invite more adventure into your life Memorable Quotes: • “Spontaneity is where possibility lives.” — Deanna Ley • “Possibility doesn’t wait for a perfect plan.” • “Healthy spontaneity is not denial dressed up as adventure. It’s courage paired with wisdom.” • “Overthinking can make fear sound like practicality.” • “You don’t need to know step ten to take step one.” • “It’s not just about the adventure. It’s about saying YES to moments that will shape the story of your life.” • “The best parts of our life are not always the ones we plan. They are the ones that we have the courage to step into.” Your WORDS MATTER, because YOU MATTER.

"Bloom Where You Are Planted." 11:13

vor 16 weeks11:13

11:13

This week on WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach , shares the story of a pumpkin plant that refused to quit — and how its journey mirrors our own growth. The episode’s quote is one you’ve likely heard before: “Bloom where you are planted.” — widely attributed to Saint Francis de Sales, and made popular by artist and illustrator Mary Engelbreit. An old pumpkin became a powerful reminder that growth often starts in hidden places, survives hard seasons, and blooms when conditions finally support it. It’s about resilience, choosing your soil wisely, and recognizing that “bloomthroughs” — gentle, intentional moments of growth — can be just as life-changing as big breakthroughs. What Listeners Will Learn: • How seasons of breaking down and unseen work lay the foundation for growth • Why the brain’s Effort-Reward Cycle and Stress Inoculation make hard seasons worth enduring • How to identify the difference between toxic soil and fertile soil in your own life • What makes a bloomthrough different from a breakthrough and why it matters • How daily, intentional choices rewire your brain for progress and resilience Memorable Quotes: • “Bloom where you are planted.” — widely attributed to Saint Francis de Sales, made popular by Mary Engelbreit • “Sometimes the most unexpected blooms come from the places we least expect to grow.” • “Growth rarely happens in comfort.” • “Overcoming the odds literally rewires our brains for resilience and confidence.” • “If your environment is toxic, your bloom will struggle.” • “Am I in a soil that is helping me bloom or a soil that is steadily stealing my light?” • “I like to think of small moments of growth as bloomthroughs.” • “Each bloomthrough tells your mind — growth is possible.” • “The world needs the bloom that only you can bring.” No matter where you’re planted today, you have the power to choose how you grow.

This week on WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, shares the powerful practice that’s been holding her steady through canceled plans, unexpected injuries, and life’s endless detours. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to feel your letdowns, but not hand them the pen to write your story. “Discipline your disappointment.” — Tony Robbins From a 30th anniversary Grand Canyon dream that couldn’t happen to the reminder that life is always happening for us, this episode explores how disappointment is really just the gap between expectation and reality, and how disciplining it can change everything. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why disappointment is inevitable, but staying stuck is optional • How to reframe setbacks as self-love and protection for your future self • The three-step practice Deanna uses to discipline disappointment • Why life’s detours can become new adventures • How to move forward when everything in you wants to stop Memorable Quotes: • “Discipline your disappointment.” — Tony Robbins • “Disappointment is inevitable. But staying stuck? That's optional.” • “Life is always happening for us, not to us.” — Tony Robbins • “Discipline can be the highest form of self-love.” • “I refuse to let this setback define me. I will not hand the pen of my story to disappointment.” • “Don’t let the let down be your leader.” • “Every time we choose to discipline our disappointment, we choose to believe in something bigger than the setback.” Disappointment doesn’t get to define the next chapter. You do. This episode will remind you that when you feel it, name it, and frame it, you reclaim the power to keep moving toward the life you want.

This week on WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, shares a story that begins at 10,000+ feet — and climbs from there. This episode's quote proves that you can keep going even when the path disappears, the progress feels slow, or the descent is just as hard as the climb. “There’s no straight line to anything worth having.” This episode walks you through the literal and metaphorical journey of hiking Quandary Peak — one of Colorado’s 14ers — and the profound realizations that came with every step. You’ll hear the truth about uneven progress, inner doubt, and the kind of strength that isn’t flashy, but faithful. It’s an invitation to honor your way forward — no matter how winding it may be. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why we crave mountaintop moments, but change is built along the way • How to shift your mindset when the path disappears or detours • The science of Cognitive Flexibility and why it matters when life doesn’t go to plan • How Chris’s “50 steps” system helped them reach the summit • Why the descent was harder than the climb and what it taught them • How to give yourself credit even when progress feels invisible • Why presence, persistence, and self-trust are the real markers of growth Memorable Quotes: • “There’s no straight line to anything worth having.” • “Anything worth having is hard work.” — Deanna Ley • “Even when you can’t see the peak, the steps you’re taking still matter.” • “No up lasts forever and no down lasts forever — as long as you keep moving forward.” — Chris Ley • “You're not waiting to be ready. You're becoming ready by walking the path as it is.” • “There’s no wasted step when you keep showing up for yourself.” • “It’s not supposed to be straight, friends. It’s supposed to be yours.” • “There’s always the way forward.” Whether you’re climbing something physical, emotional, or spiritual, this episode will meet you in the middle of it and remind you that slow still counts, rest is not retreat, and you’re doing better than you think.

"Shame Shields Solutions." 13:12

This week on WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, shares a raw, real-time moment that began in a massage room and led to the unexpected uncovering of anger, grief, and a deep disconnection from her body. At the center of it all is a quote from Tiffany Aliche: “Shame shields solutions.” What follows is a deeply personal reflection on body betrayal, the lies shame whispers, and the truth-telling that begins to set us free. This episode isn’t about fixing or figuring it all out — it’s about choosing to stay present in the ache, name what hurts, and remember what’s still true. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why shame often disguises itself as accountability — and how to recognize the difference • How pain and disconnection can distort your progress and make you forget how far you’ve come • The impact of unspoken grief on your thoughts, choices, and trust in your body • How to stay with yourself when healing gets hard and messy • Why honesty isn’t weakness — it’s the beginning of real healing • A reminder that this part counts, too — even when it’s still unfolding Memorable Quotes: • “Shame shields solutions.” – Tiffany Aliche • “Every time you tell the truth about what hurts, you reclaim a part of yourself that shame has tried to erase.” • “Shame sounded like truth. But I now see it as regret, weaponized against my own healing.” • “Grieving what you lost doesn’t cancel out what you’ve gained.” • “You haven’t lost your healing. You haven’t erased your progress. You are still on your way.” • “You're not broken even if you feel like it. You're not failing even if you feel like it. You're unfolding.” • “The only way to it — to the solutions we seek — is through the thick of it.” This episode is for anyone who feels like they’ve lost their footing, their progress, or their peace. It’s not a bow-tied lesson — it’s an invitation to stay, feel, and keep going. Because this part matters just as much as the rest. Your WORDS MATTER, because YOU MATTER. ❤️❤️❤️ Text Deanna!

"I Deal With It, So I Can Heal With It." 10:18

vor 20 weeks10:18

10:18

This week on WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, shares a quote that didn’t come from a book or a podcast — but from the raw middle of her own healing journey: “I deal with it, so I can heal with it.” Born from lived experience, this mantra isn’t about moving from pain — it’s about moving with it. In this episode, Deanna invites listeners to stop abandoning themselves in the struggle and instead, learn how to be with what hurts — with honesty, compassion, and deep self-devotion. She brings in a powerful metaphor from wildlife photographer Michael Hodges: the bison. Known for facing storms head-on instead of running from them, the bison becomes a living picture of what healing actually looks like — steady, rooted, present. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why healing isn’t about escape — it’s about presence • The difference between fixing and walking with what hurts • How curiosity becomes a gateway to healing • What it means to “BE THE BISON” in real-life moments • Why impulses are signals, not shame • How to stop abandoning yourself — and start walking with yourself, instead Memorable Quotes: • “I deal with it, so I can heal with it.” – Deanna Ley • “Healing didn’t happen when I finally escaped what hurt. Healing happened when I chose to stop abandoning myself in the middle of it.” • “Facing a storm shortens the storm. Running from it only prolongs the pain.” • “BE THE BISON.” • “That impulse isn't weakness. It's a signal. It's your body saying, ‘Something needs attention.’” • “Healing is not about arriving. It's about returning — over and over and over — to the part of you that refuses to give up.” This episode is a truth-telling, storm-facing, soul-honoring invitation to stay. To listen. To return. Not perfectly — but wholly. With compassion, with courage, and yes — with bison-like strength. Your WORDS MATTER, because YOU MATTER.

Not a sentence.” “I deal with it, so I can heal with it.” — Deanna Ley “This season doesn’t get to define me.” “What matters right now?” “What do I need right now?” “You’re not just surviving.

This week on WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, brings voice to something we often overlook in our pursuit of healing and growth: joy. The real kind that’s soul-filling. The kind we forget to let ourselves feel. This episode is rooted in seven powerful words from poet Mary Oliver: “Joy is not made to be a crumb.” Deanna dives into how so many of us treat joy like a reward we haven’t earned — something we postpone until everything is handled, fixed, or perfect. But joy was never meant to be the thing we get after. It’s meant to be part of the during. The fuel — not the fluff. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why joy isn’t a luxury or distraction — it’s a necessity • How we’ve been conditioned to see joy as something earned • The truth about what happens when we starve ourselves of it • How to let joy in, even when life is hard • A beautiful invitation to notice joy in the ordinary and let it settle Memorable Quotes: • “Joy is not made to be a crumb.” – Mary Oliver • “Joy isn’t the opposite of hard. It’s what holds us together in the middle of it.” • “You are allowed to feel joy. Right now. Just as you are.” • “There’s no medal for postponing your joy.” • “Choose the joy.” • “You deserve more than scraps, friends. You don’t have to wait another day to remember that.” This episode is your reminder that joy belongs here — now, in the middle of the messy and the beautiful. Because you are not a crumb. And your life wasn’t meant to be lived like one. Your WORDS MATTER, because YOU MATTER. ❤️❤️❤️ Text Deanna! She'd love to hear from you! Support the show ❤️❤️❤️ Let’s Keep the Conversation Going!

This week on WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, dives into a quote that doesn’t just land — it lingers: “You cannot heal in the same environment where you got sick.” Author unknown — but the truth? Unforgettable. With raw honesty, Deanna shares a pivotal chapter from 2021 — a season marked by service, strain, and ultimately… languishing . Naming it became the first step in reclaiming her Whole-Self Health: mind, body, and soul. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why “environment” includes more than physical space — it includes thoughts, beliefs, and relationships • How languishing sneaks in and why naming it gives you power • The moment Deanna realized her healing required a new internal and external space • Why hustle won’t help when your soil doesn’t match your seed • How to recognize when you’re functioning but not feeling • A fierce invitation to draw your line in the sand and choose different — now Memorable Quotes: • “You cannot heal in the same environment where you got sick.” - Unknown • “Languishing — that gray space between depression and flourishing where you’re not drowning, but you’re not living.” • “Growth requires congruence. If the soil doesn’t match the seed, nothing blooms — no matter how hard you hustle.” • “You don’t have to wait for everything to fall apart before you make a move.” • “If waiting is your strategy, you’re not just wasting time — you’re wasting YOU.” • “What you do need is to want your life more than you fear the change it will take to claim it.” This isn’t about running away — it’s about creating an environment that supports healing, not hiding. You don’t need approval or a perfect plan. You just need to decide that you matter enough to begin again. Your WORDS MATTER, because YOU MATTER. ❤️❤️❤️ Text Deanna! She'd love to hear from you!

In this episode of WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, invites you to pause long enough to notice the moment you're in—and then be in it. With the quote “Wherever you are, be all there.” by Jim Elliott, Deanna explores what it means to stop drifting through life and start actually living it. From brain science to personal stories, she helps you recognize how our minds are wired to wander—and how to gently bring yourself back to presence. This episode is for anyone who’s felt stuck in The Next or tangled up in The Past and is ready to reclaim the peace of the Right Now. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why presence is a practice, not a performance • What happens in your brain when you're constantly replaying or future-casting • How the Default Mode Network and Task-Positive Network shape your focus • Why being fully present may feel uncomfortable at first—but is always worth it • Simple practices that gently return you to the now • A weekly invitation to show up—fully, honestly, and imperfectly Memorable Quotes: • “Wherever you are, be all there.” – Jim Elliott • “My body was there, but my mind was always scanning, bracing, anticipating.” • “Our brain learns to equate stillness with risk.” • “Not a perfect life, but a felt one. Not performance, but connection. Not control, but soul-deep peace.” • “Healing doesn't live in the ideal. It lives in the real.” • “This moment is the only place your life is actually happening.” This episode reminds us that peace isn’t waiting in The Next—it’s available in this breath, this heartbeat, this choice.

In this episode of WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, explores five simple words that carry massive weight: “NO is a complete sentence.” Often credited to Anne Lamott and echoed by countless women over the years, this quote holds the power to shift your boundaries, your energy, and your peace. Deanna shares her own journey from people-pleasing and overcommitting to finding a deeper connection with herself—one NO at a time. If you’ve ever said YES when you meant NO, this episode is your invitation to pause and re-evaluate. Not out of guilt. But out of presence, power, and self-trust. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why every dishonest YES is a quiet NO to yourself • How people-pleasing starts early—and how to break the cycle • The difference between saying NO to build walls vs. saying NO to build self-respect • Why honoring your capacity is a radical form of self-care • How to start building self-trust through small, honest choices • A weekly challenge to practice one grounded NO Memorable Quotes: • “NO is a complete sentence.” • “Every YES that isn't honest is a quiet NO to yourself.” • “Saying YES when you actually mean NO isn’t kindness – it’s conditioning.” • “You don’t have to wrap your NO in guilt, apologies, or justifications.” • “Your YESes mean more when they are grounded in YOU.” • “NO is not a rejection. It’s a declaration.” This episode is an empowering reminder that protecting your peace doesn’t require permission or explanation. It requires presence, practice, and a deep belief that your time and energy are worth protecting. Your WORDS MATTER, because YOU MATTER. ❤️❤️❤️ Text Deanna! She'd love to hear from you!

In this episode of WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, invites you to break free from the belief that someone else’s path will lead you home. With the powerful quote “You cannot use someone else’s map to find yourself,” Deanna explores the cost of following systems, plans, and rules that were never designed for you in the first place. Whether it’s a diet plan, a business model, or a way of living that worked for someone else, the truth is clear: their map isn’t your map. Using real-life stories, honest reflections, and a bit of brain science, Deanna reminds us that clarity, peace, and progress are only possible when we stop outsourcing our direction and start honoring our own internal compass. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why following someone else’s plan can leave you feeling broken • How incongruence—not willpower—is often the root of “failure” • The role of neuroplasticity in building new patterns • Why honoring your wiring matters more than mimicking someone else’s • How to pause, reflect, and choose the path that actually fits you Memorable Quotes: • “You cannot use someone else’s map to find yourself.” • “Their map isn’t your map. Their steps weren’t built for your terrain.” • “It was a misalignment problem. An incongruency problem.” • “You stop being an extra in someone else’s story and start being the hero of your own.” • “Their destination isn’t your destiny.” • “The most powerful path you’ll ever walk? It’s the one that leads you back to yourself.” This episode challenges you to put down the map that was never yours and start creating your own.

With her original quote, “Contentment isn’t settling – it’s savoring,” she explores how chasing The Next can quietly rob us of The Now. Through real stories and honest reflection, Deanna reminds us that savoring the present doesn’t mean slowing down—it means showing up.

In this episode of WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, shares one of her most freeing, hard-earned truths: “No one owes me anything.” This isn’t about bitterness—it’s about liberation. When you stop waiting for apologies, acknowledgment, or validation, you start reclaiming your energy, your presence, and your peace. Rooted in the lens of Doug Lennick's "The 3 Buckets" from last week’s episode, this teaching is a powerful next step in emotional ownership. Because the more we let go of what was never ours to control, the more space we create to live fully and freely. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why “No one owes me anything” is a mindset—not a wall • How unmet expectations create emotional captivity • Why peace fades when we wait for closure, validation, or reciprocity • The power of Distanced Self-Talk to shift from reaction to regulation • How to lead with generosity—without keeping score • A simple, repeatable reset phrase that frees you from emotional debt Memorable Quotes: • “No one owes me anything.” — Deanna Ley • “Because the moment you believe someone owes you something, you've tied your healing to their behavior.” • “They don't owe you anything. And you don't owe them your peace to earn it.” • “'No one owes me anything.' isn’t a wall. It’s a doorway.” • “You don't get smaller when you let go of being owed. You get bigger. Stronger. Lighter.” • “You stop handing your peace to people who were never meant to carry it.” • “I'm not owed an apology. I'm not owed validation. I'm not owed understanding. I'm not owed a cheer squad, and I'm not owed a do-over. I am owed nothing. And that means I am free.” • “This isn’t about hardening your heart. It’s about freeing your soul.” This episode invites you to set the emotional ledger down—not with anger, but with ownership. Because you don’t need to be owed anything to move forward.

In this episode of WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, shares one of the most transformative tools she teaches: The 3 Buckets. Inspired by Doug Lennick’s powerful framework, this life-changing concept helps listeners reclaim their peace, presence, and personal power. With her original quote - "Disappointment is the price we pay for trying to control what we can't." - Deanna breaks down how we lose ourselves trying to carry what was never ours to hold. She unpacks each bucket—what we can control, what we can influence, and what’s completely out of our hands—and how staying aligned with our own bucket is the key to emotional freedom. What Listeners Will Learn: • What The 3 Buckets are and why they matter • How to identify which bucket you’re in at any moment • Why trying to control the uncontrollable leads to disappointment • How to hold your Bucket One and protect your peace • How perfectionism, people-pleasing, and over-functioning steal your power • How to implement this tool in real-time situations Memorable Quotes: • "Disappointment is the price we pay for trying to control what we can't." — Deanna Ley • "You don’t need to hold the world, friends. You just need to hold your own bucket." • "You give up control over what’s yours every time you try to control what’s not." • "Bucket Three is where our peace goes to die." • "You can't hold your own power and chase control at the same time." • "That’s what disappointment really is. It’s the bill that shows up after we’ve emotionally invested in an outcome we never had the power to guarantee." • "Because when we try to control the uncontrollables, we don't just lose peace. We lose presence. We lose clarity. We lose our power. We lose who we are." This episode calls listeners to stop chasing control and start living from their place of power. Because the only bucket you're responsible for is your own—and holding it well can change everything. Your WORDS MATTER, because YOU MATTER.

In this episode of WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, wraps up her powerful six-part confidence series with the most transformational pillar of all—I DID. While confidence begins with belief (I CAN), moves into action (I WILL), deepens through purpose (I MUST), and aligns with identity (I AM), it’s ultimately sustained through one thing: proof. Deanna invites listeners to stop minimizing their efforts and start honoring their progress. With personal insights and practical tools, she shows you how to use your past victories—not your perfection—as the foundation of lasting confidence. Because when fear and perfectionism try to derail you, your bank of I DID moments will remind you of everything you’ve already overcome.

In this episode of WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, explores the fourth pillar of self-confidence: I AM . While belief ( I CAN ), action ( I WILL ), and commitment ( I MUST ) create momentum, true confidence becomes effortless when your identity aligns with your actions. Deanna dives deep into how the words we use to define ourselves shape our reality. If you’ve ever struggled with making progress only to fall back into old habits, it’s not because you weren’t strong enough—it’s because your identity is still tied to the past. To sustain lasting change, you must shift who you believe you are. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why identity is the missing piece of lasting confidence. • How your old identity can hold you back, even when you take action. • Why belief alone isn’t enough—your brain needs proof. • How to use the power of YET to reshape self-doubt. • A 5-step challenge to rewrite your I AM statements and back them with proof. • Why your proof, not just your words, shapes your self-image. Memorable Quotes: • "The words that follow I AM follow you. Choose carefully how you describe yourself." — Rock Thomas • "We don’t act according to what we want. We act according to who we believe we are." • "If you’re still seeing yourself as the old version of you, you will always return to that version." • "Confidence isn’t built through words alone. It’s built through proof." • "If you say I AM strong, but you skip your workouts every time you feel tired, your brain won’t believe you." • "Your past does not define you—your proof does." • "YET is the bridge between where you are and where you’re going. But YET only works if you follow it with action." • "When you commit to owning your I AMs, back them with action, and refuse to let your past identity pull you back, you don’t just change your words—you shift your entire reality." This episode challenges listeners to rewrite their I AM statements, back them with proof, and fully step into the identity that aligns with their goals. Because when your words, beliefs, and actions match who you want to be, confidence is no longer something you chase—it’s who you are. Your WORDS MATTER because YOU MATTER. ❤️❤️❤️ Text Deanna!

In this episode of WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, explores the third pillar of self-confidence: I MUST. While belief (I CAN) and action (I WILL) are crucial, they are not enough on their own. To sustain confidence and commitment, your actions must be deeply rooted in a WHY that is unshakable. Deanna shares a powerful personal story about the moment she realized that surface-level motivation wasn’t enough. She walks listeners through Dean Graziosi’s 7 Levels Deep WHY Exercise, revealing how digging deeper into your purpose transforms fleeting motivation into unstoppable drive. What Listeners Will Learn: • Why willpower and motivation aren’t enough to sustain lasting change. • The difference between surface-level reasons and a deeply rooted WHY. • How to use the 7 Levels Deep WHY Exercise to uncover what truly drives you. • Why clarity of purpose eliminates doubt, excuses, and fear. • How having a big enough WHY makes quitting not an option. • The shift from "I SHOULD" to "I MUST"—and why it changes everything. Memorable Quotes: • "When your WHY is big enough, you will find your how." — Les Brown • "A surface-level WHY will never be enough. You have to dig deep until you find the thing that will hold you steady when everything in you wants to quit." • "Unlike willpower, your WHY doesn’t fade by the end of the day. Unlike motivation, your WHY doesn’t come and go." • "I refuse to let my own patterns, my own choices, steal me away from the life I was meant to live." • "I don’t just want to make it to 90. I WANT TO LIVE." • "This life? We get ONE. One mind. One body. One soul. One life. And I refuse to waste it." • "When your WHY is big enough, quitting is no longer an option." • "Excuses lose their power. Fear loses its voice. Because you are no longer someone who just tries. You are someone who DOES." This episode challenges listeners to go beyond "I want to be healthy" or "I want to be successful" and find the deeper WHY that makes success inevitable. Because when your WHY is powerful enough, you stop negotiating with your potential and start owning your path forward. Your WORDS MATTER because YOU MATTER.

"You Are What You Do, Not What You Say You'll Do." 11:36

In this episode of WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, continues her powerful self-confidence series by introducing the second pillar: I WILL . Building on last week’s foundation of belief (I CAN), this episode focuses on turning belief into action—because confidence doesn’t come from intentions, it comes from PROOF . Deanna explores the truth behind Carl Jung’s quote - "You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do." - and dives deep into the real reasons we struggle to follow through. From excuses disguised as self-care to the science behind action and motivation, this episode gives listeners practical tools to start building self-trust one small promise at a time. What Listeners Will Learn: Why intentions don’t build confidence—actions do. How every choice you make is a vote for the kind of person you believe yourself to be. How excuses erode self-trust—and how to break the cycle. Why action creates motivation (not the other way around). How micro-commitments create undeniable proof that builds confidence brick by brick. Why confidence is built in the doing, not just in the believing. Memorable Quotes: "You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do." — Carl Jung "If you WANT different, first you have to CHOOSE different, and then you have to DO different." — Deanna Ley "Intentions don’t build confidence. Proof does." "Our excuses are professional salespeople. They whisper sweet lies that sound like self-care." "You and your brain are always watching—and keeping score." "Action creates motivation." "The promise itself isn’t the point. The proof is the point." "Confidence isn’t built in what you meant to do. Confidence is built in what you actually did." "Confidence is built in the doing. Confidence is built in the proof." This episode inspires listeners to step beyond belief and into action, building confidence through consistent follow-through and the power of proving to themselves that they are capable, trustworthy, and worth it.

In this episode of WORDS MATTER , Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, kicks off a brand-new series on self-confidence—what it is, how we lose it, and how to build it back stronger than ever before. Confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build. And at the core of that process is self-trust. When you consistently keep the promises you make to yourself, you reinforce your own reliability, creating a foundation of unshakable confidence. Deanna breaks down why self-trust matters, how incongruence erodes confidence, and the simple, practical steps you can take today to start rebuilding belief in yourself. What Listeners Will Learn: Why confidence is built, not given How breaking promises to yourself damages self-trust The role of congruence in confidence-building How to shift from "I want to be confident" to actually becoming confident A step-by-step framework for strengthening self-belief Memorable Quotes: "Confidence comes from keeping the promises you make to yourself." - Ed Mylett "Think about it… If you had a friend who constantly told you they’d show up, but then flaked out, would you trust them? Of course not. Yet we do this to ourselves all the time." "Every time we break a promise to ourselves—whether it’s skipping that workout we swore we’d do, hitting snooze instead of getting up early, or telling ourselves we’ll start Monday—we chip away at our own confidence." "Your brain keeps score." - Brendon Burchard "When we act in alignment with who we say we want to be, our confidence grows." "Confidence isn’t built in a day. But every day, with every promise kept, you are strengthening that foundation." "The goal isn’t perfection; it’s proof. Proof to yourself that you can follow through." This episode inspires listeners to take action, proving to themselves—one promise at a time—that they are capable, trustworthy, and confident in who they are becoming.
