  <description><![CDATA[<p>She Rises Through It is a weekly podcast for women who are navigating the messy middle of growth; where identity shifts, motivation fades, and the next chapter hasn’t fully revealed itself yet.</p><p><br></p><p>I’m Cydnie Jocelyn, Minnesota-based CEO of The Cydnie Jocelyn Collective, retreat creator, and mentor for women in transition. This podcast is where I speak honestly about becoming in real time, without bypassing the discomfort, the nervous system work, or the real-life responsibilities we’re carrying alongside our growth.</p><p><br></p><p>Here, we don’t chase quick fixes or perform healing.<br>We build <b>self-leadership, </b>slowly, intentionally, and with integrity.</p><p><br></p><p>Each episode explores:<br>&nbsp;• self-leadership in seasons of transition and growth<br>&nbsp;• burnout, misalignment, and rebuilding self-trust<br>&nbsp;• identity shifts, becoming, and the space between who you were and who you’re becoming<br>&nbsp;• nervous system regulation and emotional resilience<br>&nbsp;• motherhood, leadership, and capacity-building in real life<br>&nbsp;• the discomfort before expansion and how to lead yourself through it</p><p><br></p><p>This podcast is for women who are doing the work, parenting, leading, healing, building, while quietly feeling that something in their life is changing. Women who are ready to stop waiting for permission and start trusting themselves again.</p><p><br></p><p>Alongside the podcast, I host transformational retreats in <b>Minnesota and Costa Rica</b>, offer identity mentorship, and cultivate spaces where women can slow down, regulate their bodies, and reconnect to their inner authority before expanding into what’s next.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, this space is for you.</p><p><br></p><p>You’re not behind.<br>You’re not broken.<br>You’re building self-leadership in the messy middle.</p><p><br></p><p>Welcome to <b>She Rises Through It</b>.</p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>What if your health journey was never meant to be about punishment?</p><p>In this episode of She Rises Through It, I sit down with Kayla Freeman for a real and honest conversation about women’s health, body image, fitness, hormones, motherhood, and what it actually looks like to pursue wellness in a sustainable way.</p><p>Kayla shares her personal journey from feeling out of place in traditional fitness spaces to building a lifestyle rooted in strength, consistency, and self-respect, not restriction. We talk about the diets we’ve tried, the pressure women carry around food and body image, and how easy it is to fall into all-or-nothing thinking when it comes to health.</p><p>We also get into a deeper conversation around hormonal imbalance, cortisol, postpartum health, sleep, inflammation, and peptides, and what it’s looked like for both of us to navigate wellness in real life, especially in seasons of motherhood, stress, and healing.</p><p>This episode is a reminder that health is not about chasing a smaller version of yourself.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let’s talk about alignment....not the perfect, polished kind, but the kind that tests who you really are when life gets loud.</p><p>This week, I’m diving into the core values that shape not just what I do, but <em>who I am becoming</em> inside the Cydnie Jocelyn Collective - <b>Courage, Authenticity, Empowerment, Compassion, Creativity,</b> and <b>Connection.</b></p><p>Because character isn’t about titles or achievements, it’s about how you show up when nobody’s clapping.
