• The Fear Behind the Fear (And Why You're Still Stuck) 30.06.2026 23Min.

  Fear rarely looks like fear. It shows up as procrastination, perfectionism, overthinking, people-pleasing, or staying where it's comfortable. In this episode, we unpack the fear behind the fear, the deeper beliefs hiding beneath fears like failure, judgement, success and disappointing others. We also get vulnerable about the fears we've experienced in business and how we're learning to move forward despite them. Sometimes understanding the real fear is the first step towards freedom.

• We Started a Podcast With Zero Clue — One Year Update 🤍 17.03.2026 20Min.

  This episode is a full-circle moment.   One year ago, we started Running With Scissors with nothing but an idea and a lot of nerves. Today, we’re reflecting on everything this podcast has taught us — about creativity, confidence, friendship, and showing up even when you don’t feel ready.   We’re sharing the lessons, the unexpected wins, the hard parts, and the advice we’d give our past selves.   Thank you for listening, supporting, and growing with us 🤍This podcast wouldn’t be the same without you.
• Random Things That Make Us Feel Like We're Winning at Life 10.03.2026 13Min.

  This episode is a little different — think coffee chat energy. We’re talking about the smallest, most random things that somehow make us feel like we’ve got our life together. From canceling subscriptions on time to the perfect cup of coffee and sending emails, it’s the tiny wins that sometimes hit the hardest. Because building a life from within isn’t only about the big breakthroughs — it’s also about noticing the little moments that make everyday life feel lighter, calmer, and a little more put together. If you’ve ever felt weirdly proud of doing something small… this episode is for you.
• Stop Feeling Bad for Protecting Your Peace 03.03.2026 25Min.

  Why do we feel guilty for protecting our energy, but burnt out when we don’t? In this episode, we talk about boundaries as part of mindset work, not just relationships. Because what you allow into your space affects how you think, feel, and show up.   We unpack emotional boundaries (not absorbing everyone else’s moods), physical boundaries (your time, rest, and availability), and why saying no without over-explaining is often kinder than silent resentment.   Being kind doesn’t mean being accessible 24/7. Boundaries don’t push people away, they keep you intact.
• How Comparison Is Quietly Draining You 24.02.2026 23Min.

  Have you ever felt good about your progress… until you opened Instagram?   In this episode, we unpack how comparison quietly drains your confidence, shifts your focus outward, and makes you feel behind, even when you’re actually growing. From social media highlight reels to invisible timelines, we explore how measuring your life against someone else’s peak moment erodes self-belief and creates unnecessary impatience.   Comparison doesn’t inspire consistency, it creates urgency and self-doubt.   We talk about how to re-center on your own path, define progress on your terms, and protect your inner world like it’s part of the work, because it is.   Building from within means choosing alignment over applause.
• You're Allowed to Outgrow Who You Were 27.01.2026 21Min.

  Growth doesn’t always feel exciting. Sometimes it feels like loss.   In this episode, we talk about outgrowing old versions of yourself, the identities, roles, dreams, and expectations that once felt safe but no longer fit. We explore the grief that can come with change, the guilt of evolving when others expect the old you, and the quiet permission it takes to let yourself become someone new.   We also reflect on memory, the fleeting nature of life, and how easy it is to chase what’s next while overlooking the beauty of right now.   You’re not betraying who you were.You’re honouring who you’re becoming.
• Why You Don't Trust Yourself Anymore 20.01.2026 25Min.

  At some point, many of us stop trusting ourselves, not because we’re incapable, but because life teaches us to doubt our own voice.   In this episode, we unpack what self-trust really means, how it quietly erodes through comparison, failure, and people-pleasing, and the subtle signs you might be second-guessing yourself more than you realise. We talk about rebuilding self-trust through small, daily actions: keeping promises to yourself, making decisions without constant validation, and learning to reflect without shame.   Because self-trust isn’t something you find, it’s something you build. The more you honour your own voice, the louder and clearer it becomes.
• Discipline Isn’t Punishment 13.01.2026 14Min.

  Discipline isn’t punishment — it’s self-respect.   In this episode, we challenge the idea that discipline has to be rigid, guilt-driven, or exhausting. We break down why motivation is unreliable, how extreme “hustle discipline” leads to burnout, and what healthy, sustainable discipline actually looks like.   This is about building self-trust, showing up consistently in ways that fit your life, and creating routines that support you — not control you.   Because real discipline isn’t about being strict.It’s about being devoted to the life you’re building.
• Your mindset is the foundation (and everything else depends on it) 06.01.2026 21Min.

  Your mindset is the foundation everything else is built on — your habits, decisions, confidence, and ultimately, your version of success.   In this episode, we unpack why external success without a healthy mindset eventually collapses, and how your thoughts and belief systems quietly shape the way you move through life. From the choices you make daily to the standards you set for yourself, your inner world determines how stable (or shaky) your foundation really is. We also talk about what to do when life feels unstable — how to recognise when your foundation needs work, and how to begin rebuilding from the inside out instead of constantly trying to fix surface-level problems.   If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, exhausted, or misaligned, this episode is for you.
• Lessons We're Taking Into 2026 30.12.2025 24Min.

  As we step into a new year, we’re reflecting on the lessons 2025 taught us and more importantly, what we’re choosing to carry forward. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to show up for yourself: building habits that support you, moving your body with intention, finding hobbies that bring you back to yourself, and learning to live your life for you — not for validation, expectations, or the outside world.This episode is an invitation to slow down, look inward, and intentionally choose the version of yourself you want to grow into. Welcome to Built From Within, where growth starts on the inside.
• When You Feel Behind in Life and Everyone Else Seems Ahead 11.11.2025 27Min.

  We all know that feeling — when life feels slow, the spark is gone, and you start wondering if you’ve somehow fallen behind. This episode is for the in-between seasons — the ones where you’re still showing up, even when it doesn’t feel like much is happening. We’re talking about: The shame of “not being there yet” What to do when your motivation disappears Remembering that the season you’re in is not who you are And how to find your way back when you’ve lost momentum If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like everyone else is moving faster than you — this one’s for you.You’re not behind. You’re just becoming.
• Habits That Changed Our Lives 04.11.2025 11Min.

  This week, we’re chatting about the habits that actually changed our lives — not in a “5 AM, green juice, gym girl” kind of way, but in a real way. From showing up as our authentic selves and setting small reminders that help us stay grounded, to romanticizing discipline and learning to find beauty in the mundane — these are the habits that have genuinely shifted how we show up for ourselves and the people we love. Tune in for an honest conversation about growth, self-respect, and becoming who you were always meant to be (without burning out trying to get there).
• The Power of the Delulu Mindset 21.10.2025 15Min.

  In today’s episode, we’re talking about the power of the “Delulu” mindset — that slightly unhinged, wildly confident energy that might just be the secret to success. We unpack what “delulu” really means (spoiler: it’s not denial), how belief before evidence can change everything, and why a little bit of “crazy” confidence might be exactly what you need to get unstuck. From psychology-backed insights to our own “delulu” moments that actually paid off, this episode is your permission slip to back yourself — even when it doesn’t make sense yet.   💭 Tune in for real talk, laughter, and the reminder that every dream starts as delusion until it becomes reality. 🎧 Listen now and ask yourself: What would your delulu self do this week?   #RunningWithScissors #DeluluMindset #WomenInProgress #UnfilteredAndUnafraid
• Being a Beginner Again, Without Shame 14.10.2025 22Min.

  When was the last time you were really bad at something? This episode dives into the beauty of starting over—without shame. We unpack why we resist being beginners, how to reframe embarrassment, and why the awkward middle is actually where growth happens. It’s your reminder that courage matters more than perfection, and that being a beginner is a sign of expansion, not failure. 💛 💬 What’s one thing you’ve been too scared to try because you don’t want to look bad?

• The Moment God Told Me to Wake Up 07.10.2025 24Min.

  I had a moment of clarity from God that shook me to my core - I realized I’d been chasing the wrong life. In this episode, I share what it really means to stop living for validation, start trusting yourself, and begin building a life that actually feels good. If you’ve ever felt lost, empty, or stuck performing for others, this one is for you.
• The Internal Glow Up: The One That Actually Lasts 30.09.2025 19Min.

  Everyone talks about glow ups like it’s all about looks, money, or status—but those versions fade fast. In this episode, we flip the script on what it really means to glow up: the kind that can’t be posted but changes everything. We unpack the signs of an internal glow up—like setting boundaries without guilt, prioritizing peace over people-pleasing, and choosing growth even when it’s uncomfortable. We also get real about the messy middle, when you’re shedding old versions of yourself and it feels anything but glamorous. By the end, you’ll walk away with practical steps to start your own internal glow up, plus the reminder that the brightest glow doesn’t come from products, outfits, or clout—it comes from self-respect and alignment. ✨ Because the real glow up is internal.
