For many of us women, we can recall a time when we were on a diet. For some of us, dieting began at a very young age. Throughout our lives, we are bombarded with messages promoting fad diets, meal replacement shakes, and unrealistic body standards, leading to cycles of weight loss and regain. Joining us on today’s episode is Kelly Mangini - a certified nutrition coach and personal trainer who has a mission to change how many of us think about fitness and nutrition. She's not just an expert; she's someone who has walked the walk and transformed her life through a metabolic-based mindset, and now she's here to share her wisdom with all of us. Kelly has been instrumental in transforming my personal journey with fitness and nutrition, and I am so excited to share her insights with all of you.

In all my years of entrepreneurship - learning about branding and visual content, I never once thought about what I do as holding space for someone. What does it even mean to hold space for someone? My guest today, Shaina Longstreet, a designer from Washington State, whose job is to build the bridge between her clients and the people they’re meant to help, shares with us the importance of holding space for others. Shaina speaks about her transition from photography to brand design, highlighting how she challenges the conventional approach to design, emphasizing the significance of leading with one's true identity rather than solely focusing on the client. But for Shaina, it's not just about creating visually stunning brands; she explains more about the power of identity-led branding and how her own story plays such an important role in how she helps her clients.

The pandemic in 2020 certainly taught us a lot - both good and bad. But I think more importantly, it showed everyone how strong they were. No exception to this was Lauren Lista, founder of Vintage Grace Boutique, a retail storefront created from her love of jewelry and fashion.

Through her journey of reinvention, Lauren reminds us that our struggles don't define us; they simply pave the way for our evolution. Tune into today’s episode about resilience and the transformative power of welcoming life's unexpected twists and turns.

Sometimes the message we need to recognize is so simple, but we need to hear it over and over and over again. I’ve found this to be the case when talking about one of my favorite topics: creating confidence in your life. I believe that as women we stand in our own way far more than any external obstacles we may face. I wish it were as simple as waving a magic wand and sharing the feeling of loving yourself and living your best life because of it. But it takes some serious mindset shifts and today I’m welcoming Sally Edgerly, a superstar in the direct sales industry, who is now embarking on a new journey as a confidence coach. Stay tuned to find out more about how you can shift your thinking, increase your self-esteem, and step into the woman you were meant to be.

As a society, we’re talking more and more about mental health and ways to feel better, but what if the more conventional solutions aren’t your jam? Or maybe you just don’t know yet? My guest today is Holly Teegarden. We’re chatting about mental health + anxiety and how she has built a business that takes a different approach to healing. Holly’s journey to business ownership began on a personal level. Having her own health and wellness concerns, she decided to research what natural products could provide her relief without the side effects. Her thorough research led her to CBD, essential oils, and supplements. Her store + brand, Moodporium, provides high-quality CBD, Delta 8, Delta 10 and essential oil products, education and support. If you’ve been curious about how holistic products could become part of your healing + self-care journey then make sure you stay tuned in. It's time to grow into your glow...

Grief is not a linear journey. There’s no checklist where everyone ticks off the boxes and moves on. There’s no cure. There’s no boundaries and no end. When you lose something so dear and close to your heart grief just becomes a part of who you are but that’s not just saying you always have to live in the darkness. There’s always an opportunity to learn and grow, becoming a better and stronger person. I'm joined today by Katie Stern, who along with her husband Dan, founded The Little Fox, Toby’s foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that supports families grieving the loss of an infant, educates on safe sleep practices, and promotes SIDS awareness across the United States. Katie is a mom to three amazing boys and we’re chatting about grief, loss, and growing in the midst of the unimaginable. It's time to grow into your glow...

Raising babies and building businesses is not for everyone, but it’s become very commonplace for a lot of women, especially after the Covid pandemic. I’m joined today by Emma Ferrick, an Operations and Systems Strategist and Founder of ELF Operations. Her mission is to help as many women get out of survival mode as possible. She partners with visionary service providers who want a thriving business without overwhelm through her SIMPLE Ops Framework so they can have control of their business and enjoy their life.

Motherhood is a wild ride. Lots of ups and downs and honestly a LOT of winging it. We are tasked with making really impactful decisions about our kids and it feels like a ton of pressure. What if we get it “wrong?” Is there a right or wrong way to do things? These questions are especially true when it comes to living in a digital world, with children being introduced to screens SO young. Today I’m chatting with Dr. Miranda Virone. She is an occupational therapist and researcher committed to supporting positive mental health among youth in schools, homes, and communities. What are the benefits and the downfalls when it comes to young kids + teenagers interacting with technology and social media?

Sexuality and sensuality in women is a topic that I have not heard talked about in my circle for I think a couple of reasons that we explore in this episode. If it’s a part of our every day lives, so why is not discussed more? I’m chatting with my friend Carley Weissert, a coach who supports women in embodying their most confident, fully self-expressed, sexy-as-hell selves. She shows her clients how to achieve radical approval for every single part of their being, provides a safe container for them to discover their authentic selves, and helps them bloom into the most free, radiant, lit-up version of themselves they’ve ever been. The hardest part of growth is that it’s sometimes uncomfortable and I imagine that sensuality and sexuality may be just that for some of you.
