Send us a text Welcome to Day 14 of the Christmas Advent Calendar Podcast, and today’s episode brings another powerful conversation with another incredible guest. I’m your host, Lisa-Marie Elkhadraoui, Business Coach and Mentor, guiding women through strategic growth and soulful personal development, and today we are exploring identity, shedding, and what it truly means to evolve into your higher self as we enter 2026. Joining me is the wonderful Siobhan Mears, a woman whose work is rooted in authenticity, transformation, and the courage required to step into your next level identity. Siobhan brings a grounded yet expansive perspective on personal development, mindset, and the deeper shifts required for women in business who are ready to grow beyond who they’ve been and into who they are becoming. In this conversation, Siobhan opens up about: • Why shedding is essential for personal evolution • Letting go of outdated identities, beliefs, and even services that no longer serve your higher self • How journaling helps uncover the beliefs keeping you stuck • The power of visualization in accessing your next level identity • Why business relationships must evolve as you evolve • Creating space for what lights you up rather than what drains you • Stepping into 2026 with clarity, intention, and authenticity This episode is your reminder that what got you here won’t carry you into the next chapter, and that shedding is not loss, but expansion. Whether you’re redefining your services, releasing old patterns, or stepping into a new version of yourself, this conversation will give you permission to let go and rise.
