Why Suffering Online Has Become a Kind of Identity (and how to step out of it)
6d ago00:36:41Tap to summarizeI think one of the biggest lies people are quietly carrying right now is the idea that if you’re happy while the world is hurting… you must not care enough.And lately, I’ve been noticing how much pressure there is online to stay emotionally plugged into outrage, tragedy, fear, and collective heaviness 24/7 (almost like suffering publicly has become proof that you’re a good person).So this episode became a really honest conversation about joy, emotional responsibility, social media outrage, nervous system overload, and whether people have subconsciously become addicted to suffering.Because where is the line between being informed… and being emotionally consumed?And are we actually helping the world when we’re constantly drowning alongside it?In this conversation with Melanie Huestis, we talk about collective fear, cancel culture, protecting your peace without spiritually bypassing reality, and why choosing joy right now can almost feel rebellious.We also get into:Why some people feel guilty being happyThe pressure to publicly perform outrage onlineHow social media keeps people emotionally overstimulatedWhy your nervous system was never meant to carry the whole worldThe difference between awareness and emotional self-destructionHow suffering can quietly become part of someone’s identityRadical responsibility for your own happinessWhy joy is something you create internally... not something you stumble intoStaying grounded without disconnecting from realityThe energetic ripple effect of kindness, presence, and emotional regulationThis episode honestly felt like two people sitting down and questioning a lot of the things we’ve collectively accepted as “normal” lately.And whether constantly consuming heaviness is actually making us better humans… or just more disconnected from ourselves.CONNECT WITH MELANIE -Instagram: @melaniehuestisMelanie's Website - melaniehuestis.comWORK WITH BREEANNAWebsite: breeannakay.com/rebelceoFollow Breeanna on Instagram + TikTok: @rebel.ceo.podcast
Transcribe →Not Everybody Deserves Full Access to You... And That Doesn't Make You Cold
3w ago00:09:03Tap to summarizeI ended a podcast recording early.And honestly? Ending the recording felt more aligned than forcing the conversation just because it was already happening.(Ironically, the recording was on "killing off your inner good girl," so I guess I took it quite literally?)Honestly though, nobody was a villain and the guest does some really cool work! But my body knew before my brain wanted to admit it… something felt off.And I think a lot of women ignore that feeling because we’ve been conditioned to prioritize being polite over being honest with ourselves.So this episode turned into something completely different.We’re talking about energetic boundaries, intuition, spiritual superiority, people pleasing, nervous system protection, and the difference between being loving… versus being fully available to everybody.Not everybody deserves access to the deepest layers of you just because they’re in the room with you.I also share:Why I stopped the recordingHow I'm leaning into my own intuition, not outside noiseReleasing the need to over-explainWhy boundaries don't automatically mean cold... even if others think you areWhy your nervous system is not public propertyHow resentment forms when boundaries go unspokenThe importance of protecting your peace without closing your heartThis one feels like a voice memo from a version of me that’s learning how to trust herself faster and isn't scared to say no.And maybe you need that reminder too, which is why I wanted to share today's story publicly.Welcome back to Rebel CEO Podcast. <3WORK WITH BREEANNAWebsite: breeannakay.com/rebelceoFollow Breeanna on Instagram + TikTok: @rebel.ceo.podcast

Mar 3100:17:11Tap to summarizeIf your business has hit a slow spot lately or you’ve been overthinking every move, refreshing your metrics, and wondering why things aren’t clicking anymore...this episode is going to call you out (in the best way).Because it probably has something to do with your refusal to detach. AKA... you’re trying to control the outcome.In this solo episode, Breeanna breaks down the subtle (but powerful) ways control shows up in your business... like overworking, obsessing over numbers, and gripping tightly to one specific vision of success... plus how that energy is actually repelling the very growth you want.She also shares a real-time identity shift she’s moving through: questioning what it means to be “fully self-employed,” and how leaning into something she once resisted might actually unlock more freedom, not less.This is your permission slip to stop forcing, stop micromanaging your growth, and start allowing your business to expand in ways you didn’t originally plan for, but might be even better.💥 IN THIS EPISODE:The real reason you feel stuck in your business (and why there are so many more layers than strategy to it)How controlling the outcome creates “repelling” energy (even if you’re doing everything right)Why overworking and hustling can actually slow your income downThe subtle ways you’re tying your self-worth to metrics (and how to break it)What your “worst case scenario” might actually be trying to show youHow identity attachment (“I could never do that”) keeps you stuck in cyclesWhy opportunities show up when you finally stop trying so hardWORK WITH BREEANNAWebsite: breeannakay.com/rebelceoFollow Breeanna on Instagram + TikTok: @rebel.ceo.podcastRebel CEO Podcast Shownotes: breeannakay.com/releasing-business-control

Mar 2400:52:01Tap to summarizeRebels, let’s get real: most branding advice out there? Probably doesn't apply to your small business in the same way it does to the bigger corporations. 🚨Big corporations and cookie-cutter strategies won't work the same way for your soul-led business.

It’s time to stop copying everyone else and start building a brand that’s actually magnetic, visible, and aligned with your purpose.Links & Resources:Apply for my program In Her Era (self-study or 1:1 high-touch) → breeannakay.com/in-her-eraGet a free sample pack of LMNT (mineral drink mix) using this link: http://elementallabs.refr.cc/default/u/breeannafCONNECT WITH ASIA -Instagram: @asia.doreAsia's Website - asiadore.com/WORK WITH BREEANNAWebsite: breeannakay.com/rebelceoFollow Breeanna on Instagram + TikTok: @rebel.ceo.podcastRebel CEO Podcast Shownotes: breeannakay.com/branding-mistake-logo-websiteJOIN THE FOUNDER'S ROUND OF IN HER ERA - breeannakay.com/in-her-era
