You don’t have to participate in every argument.

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling drained, replaying what you said, or wishing you handled it differently, this episode is for you.

In this episode of UNSUBSCRIBE™ with Ginny Priem, we’re talking about what it really looks like to stop reacting to everything—and how choosing not to engage can change your energy, your relationships, and your peace of mind.

Ginny shares a personal shift she had to make when she realized that constantly explaining, defending, and responding was keeping her stuck in conversations that were never going to move forward.

This episode will help you recognize when you’re engaging out of habit instead of intention—and how to step back without feeling like you’re losing your voice.

If you’ve ever felt the need to prove your point, correct someone, or stay in a conversation longer than you wanted to, this is your reminder that you have another option.

In this episode:

• Why you feel the need to respond to everything• The difference between reacting and choosing• How to shift from participant to observer in real time• When engaging actually makes things worse• A simple way to decide if something deserves your energy

A question to sit with:

What would change in your life if you stopped participating in the things that drain you?

*This episode comes with a content warning: we discuss sexual assault and trauma.

What happens when anger is the only thing holding your story together… and then you decide to let it go?

In this conversation, I sit down with Darlene Lekowski, who shares her experience of surviving years of abuse, what it looked like to carry that pain in silence, and the moment everything shifted.

After confronting her past, she expected acknowledgment and an apology. Instead, she was met with a lawsuit that forced her to relive everything all over again. What followed was a legal battle, a counterclaim, and ultimately, a moment of truth that changed everything.

But this is not just a story about what happened.

It is about what comes next.

We talk about anger, control, and the need to win. How it all shows up, how it protects, and how it can also keep us stuck. And we talk about what it actually looks like to move forward without pretending it never happened.

If you have ever held onto something heavy, waited for an apology, or wondered what healing actually looks like, this conversation will stay with you.

• The long-term impact of childhood trauma and suppressed experiences

• PTSD, coping mechanisms, and what it looks like when it resurfaces

• Confrontation, expectations, and what happens when closure doesn’t come

• The emotional toll of legal battles tied to personal truth

• Vindication, being believed, and reclaiming your voice

• What it really means to let go of anger without minimizing your experience

• Moving forward in a way that feels grounded, honest, and self-led

Are you stuck in your own head replaying conversations, imagining worst-case scenarios, or assuming what other people are thinking?

In this episode, Ginny Priem explains why overthinking and rumination can quietly drain your energy, increase anxiety, and keep you emotionally stuck. Your brain produces thousands of thoughts every day, but not every thought deserves your attention.

You’ll learn why our brains default to negative assumptions, how rumination keeps us trapped in mental loops, and how to use the UNSUBSCRIBE™ Filter to stop subscribing to the thoughts that are making you miserable.

If you’ve ever replayed a text message ten times, worried about something that never actually happened, or felt exhausted from overthinking everything, this episode will give you practical tools to break the cycle.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What rumination is and why it increases anxiety• Why our brains are wired to assume the worst• How social media and constant news consumption amplify stress• How to interrupt thought loops before they spiral• How to apply the UNSUBSCRIBE™ Filter to your own thinking

Because the truth is this: just because your brain thinks something doesn’t mean you have to subscribe to it.

What if the pressure to be perfect is the very thing keeping you stuck?

In this episode of UNSUBSCRIBE™ with Ginny Priem, I sit down with Dr. Rachel Goldman, clinical psychologist, CBT expert, and media contributor featured on The Oprah Winfrey Network, The Today Show, among many other national publications.

Dr. Goldman’s new book When Life Happens explores how we respond when life doesn’t go according to plan—and why so many of us default to perfectionism, people pleasing, toxic positivity, and unrealistic expectations.

Together we unpack how cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical tools to respond differently.

This conversation is about letting go of the pressure to perform, fixing the stories we tell ourselves, and learning how to UNSUBSCRIBE™ from perfect.

If you have ever struggled with overthinking, needing approval, or feeling like you should have everything figured out by now, this episode will give you tools to move forward.

• What cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) actually is and how it works• How perfectionism and people pleasing become deeply wired habits• Why toxic positivity can sometimes do more harm than good• The psychology behind commenting on other people’s bodies• How to interrupt negative thought patterns before they spiral• Practical CBT tools you can use immediately• How to respond when life doesn’t go according to plan

Dr. Rachel Goldman is a licensed clinical psychologist and CBT expert who has been featured on national platforms including The Oprah Winfrey Network, Today Show, and major media outlets. Her work focuses on helping people understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so they can develop healthier coping strategies when life becomes challenging.

In this episode of UNSUBSCRIBE™ with Ginny Priem, keynote speaker, coach, and bestselling author Ginny Priem shares the powerful story of being rejected for a speaking opportunity and how that same organization later invited her back.

This episode is about more than rejection. It’s about confidence, emotional intelligence, leadership, and how high-performing women and leaders turn rejection into redirection.

If you’ve ever:

• Been rejected from a job, promotion, or opportunity• Felt overlooked, dismissed, or underestimated• Experienced rejection in business, relationships, or leadership• Questioned your confidence or self-worth after hearing “no”• Wondered how successful people recover from rejection

This episode will show you exactly how to UNSUBSCRIBE™ from rejection and reclaim your power.

You’ll learn:

• How to reframe rejection so it builds confidence instead of self-doubt• Why rejection is often about timing, alignment, and readiness• How high-achieving women and leaders use rejection to accelerate growth• How to remove ego and stay connected to opportunities that matter• The mindset shift that transforms rejection into momentum

Rejection is not a reflection of your worth. It’s often a redirection toward something greater.

The most confident, successful, and emotionally intelligent leaders are not the ones who avoid rejection. They’re the ones who know how to use it.

This episode will help you build resilience, confidence, and the clarity to move forward without letting rejection define you.

Money is emotional. And no one taught high-performing women how to talk about that. Until now.

In this episode of UNSUBSCRIBE with Ginny Priem, I sit down with financial advisor Billy Zerillo to unpack the emotional side of investing. He shares three major money myths high-achieving women need to let go of if they want true financial confidence.

If you’ve ever:• Felt behind financially• Avoided conversations about investing• Carried shame around money decisions• Believed you “should know more by now”

This conversation will change the way you think about wealth, investing, and your relationship with money.

Billy works specifically with high-performing women, and in this episode he breaks down:

• The emotional blocks that quietly sabotage financial growth

• Why smart women still feel insecure about investing

• The myths about money that keep women playing small

• How to build financial confidence without becoming someone you’re notWhy getting comfortable talking about money is part of your power

This is about letting go of what no longer serves you. Because financial freedom doesn’t start with numbers. It actually starts with mindset.
