Thrive Hive Podcast

When life starts to feel too small for who you’ve become, it’s not a breakdown - it’s a breakthrough. This one hit deep, Thrivesters and today we’re talking about what it really means to outgrow your old life and to do so with grace. I got a lot of comments on the Life Audit recap episode, which was dedicated to this very idea. You know, those moments when everything in your life is great, fine, hitting it on all cylinders and yet - something still feels… off.This week, I sat down with my childhood friend Carla Greengrass, now a Purposeful Pivot Coach, and we got real about what happens when the life you built doesn’t fit anymore. From the playground to the big PR job, reinvention number 1, 2 and what’s next. Today you have a front row seat to real, unfiltered talk between two old friends who met on the playground. Today Carla and I unpack what it actually means to evolve - and why this is not a crisis, it’s a calling.We talk about:What to do when you’ve outgrown your own successWhy nothing is “wrong” with you - you’re simply changingHow your energy and beliefs create your reality (and how to rewrite them The “factory settings” that keep you stuck - and how to hit the resetWhy reinvention doesn’t have to be scary - and how you can reframe to step into your next chapter with clarity and grace. And, yes, I share a personal story about my own life audit, and how I realized my compass had shifted from “grow the business” to protect my peace.Carla breaks down her Energy Leadership Index Assessment, explaining how it reveals the beliefs that drive your reactions - and how to use that awareness to finally choose the life you truly want. She even shares her “Pocket-Sized Pivots,” tiny mindset shifts you can make in real time when life throws a curveball.If you’ve been asking yourself, “Why don’t I feel fulfilled anymore?” - this episode will shake something loose. You’re not broken. You’re simply evolving. And that’s a good thing.Now go out there and thrive like you mean it!

Why I’m done letting deadlines, distractions, and other people’s priorities steal my joy.Let’s be real, Thrivesters - right about this time of year we start feeling the countdown.  Emails screaming “90 days left!” Candy canes a plenty. Prime Day in October! Everywhere we turn, someone’s trying to make us feel behind.And here’s the truth: I will not do it this year.Today, Thrivesters we’re ditching the illusion of urgency and getting real about the pressure we all feel as the holidays (and year-end) approach. Instead of sprinting into burnout, I’m setting myself up for a season that actually feels good - one rooted in presence, joy, and boundaries that stick.  And you can too.Here’s what we’re talking about today:What is urgent versus what is important - and how to tell the differenceHow I’m simplifying my favorite traditions (yes, even my famous homemade Baileys)How to plan time for moments, not things - because human connection always wins (spoiler alert, this includes my step-by-step way to audit your holiday calendar so you can cancel three things - guilt-freeIs it too early to be talking about the Holidays?  I don’t think so.  Because somewhere between the cookie exchanges, the corporate parties, and the chaos, we forget that joy needs space to breathe.  We are already booking flights, getting tickets, setting dates, and this year I’m making a commitment to slow down and actually smell the Bailey’s (literally), focus on the moments that matter, and leave room for the magic that only shows up when we’re not rushing around. If you’re already feeling that year-end push - the pressure to do more, buy more, be more - this one’s for you.✨ Because urgent is the thief of important. And this season, we get to decide. Links & Resources:Join the waitlist for my free 2025 Holiday Thrive Guide — your permission slip to slow down, savor, and actually enjoy the season: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/BpdMURpOne on one coaching application: https://forms.gle/9QDVy5VLBNW4djXx8Join the Thrive Hive and receive the Weekly Buzz: ⁠https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/MurXaK9⁠Grab my best-selling book Unmute Yourself: https://www.amazon.com/Unmute-Yourself-Speak-Stand-Out/dp/B094988YFDFollow me on Instagram: ⁠@nancy_medoff (https://www.instagram.com/nancy.medoff)Connect with me on LinkedIn: @nancymedoff (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancymedoff/)

So… what happens when you finally get everything you wanted? The big goals, the dream clients, the stage lights, the income… all of it.If you’re me? You wake up one day, decide to dedicate two days to a life audit which makes you realize… you never even stopped to notice.  You’ve been sprinting toward goals that expired years ago - and no one ever told you what to do once you actually hit them.Today Thrivesters, I’m getting real about what came up during my two-day life audit - and how it shook me in the best possible way.For two full days, I unplugged. No meetings. No emails. No “quick calls.” Just me, my notebook, and some brutally honest questions. And what came out of that time was not what I expected.Here’s what I discovered - and what might help you, too:💡 The shock of realizing your “dream goals” aren’t your True North anymore💡 The three questions that changed everything: What’s working? What’s not? What do I actually want next?💡 Why I ditched my revenue goal for the first time in 30 years (and why that eventually brought peace, not panic)💡 How my priorities shifted to what matters most: health, wellness, relationships, and the kind of success you can’t measure💡 And why uncomfortable self-honesty might be the most radical act of growth there isIf you’ve been feeling off - like you’re running hard but not sure where you’re headed - this episode is your permission slip to stop, breathe, and recalibrate.Because no one talks about this part - the quiet identity crisis that comes after achievement. The part where you realize the life you built might not actually fit anymore.Quick Call to Action: Ready for your own life audit?

Reinvention isn’t about chasing more - it’s aboutbecoming more you. When your identity (aka self-worth) is closely tied towhat you do, (I’m a fitness instructor, I’m a VP of sales, I’m a full time Mom, I’m a Doctor, etc.) – what happens when that identity changes?  And, what happens when you have NO IDEA what you new identity is? Today Thrivesters, I’ve invited back our fan favorite –Brenda Johnston to tell us what it’s really take to reinvent yourself, shift your identity, and protect your energy in a world that is constantly pulling at you. Brenda is a subconscious and energy mentor, businessre-definer, and unapologetic truth-teller and together we are talking about what happens when old beliefs bump up against new goals, and why aligning your subconscious mind with your future vision might be the missing piece you’vebeen looking for.  From the deeply personal (my own relationship breakthrough during a session with Brenda) to the practical (Brenda’s “rubber bubble” technique for protecting your energy), this episode blends authenticity,humor, and straight up truth bombs.My three favorite tidbits from today’s episode:The surprising subconscious blocks that can quietly shape your relationships - and how to uncover them.Why redefining success matters more than chasing bigger goals that don’t light you up.Simple, daily tools to protect your energy - especially around difficult people or draining situations.If you’re ready to reinvent yourself but don’t know where tostart - or if you’re tired of living a life that doesn’t feel like you - this episode is your catalyst to stop performing, hit that reset button and do the next best thing.  For YOU. Now go out there and thrive like you mean it!Links & Resources:Join the Thrive Hive and receive the Weekly Buzz: ⁠https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/MurXaK9⁠Grab my best-selling book Unmute Yourself: https://www.amazon.com/Unmute-Yourself-Speak-Stand-Out/dp/B094988YFDFollow me on Instagram: ⁠@nancy_medoff (https://www.instagram.com/nancy.medoff)Connect with me on LinkedIn: @nancymedoff (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancymedoff/)Daily Energy Management Audio: https://www.brenda-johnston.com/energy-management⁠2-Part Energetic Success Kit: ⁠https://www.brenda-johnston.com/Kit⁠The Creative Content Collective - October 18th at The Creative House in San Diego⁠: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creative-content-collective-one-day-live-workshop-tickets-1693950765339?aff=ebdsshcopyurl&utm-source=cp&utm-term=listing&utm-campaign=social&utm-medium=discovery&utm-content=attendeeshare

Sometimes the best ideas come when you least expect them - like in pajamas on a mental health day with zero guilt attached.  That’s right Thrivesters, today I’m sharing why pressing pause matters AND how bestselling neuroscientist Lisa Genova’s work is reshaping the way we think about brain health.Spoiler:  Think about sleep like your life depends on it - because it does.From Still Alice to her newest novel Still More or Less Maddie, Lisa uses fiction to help us understand the science of memory, Alzheimer’s, and mental health.   Today, thrivesters we are running with it and  talking about how our everyday choices can literally changethe trajectory of our brains.In this episode, you’ll hear:Seven surprisingly simple lifestyle habits that can cut your Alzheimer’s risk nearly in half.The real magic of deep sleep - and why it’s like a nightly brain power wash cycle.My personal wind-down routine (and the one change that was a total game-changer).Fun, quirky hacks - like bedside dry-erase boards - for capturing midnight inspiration without losing too much precious sleep.This isn’t just theory Thrivesters, it’s real life stories backed by science to prove what we already know here in the Hive… how you live impacts EVERYTHING.Now go out there and thrive like you mean it.

This was a tough episode for me , Thrivesters and in fact - it almost didn’t happen. Here’s the tea: I was sitting on my back deck recently with my coffee in hand, listening to the wind (fun fact -  I’ve always been a beach person, but the woods and the wind bring me so much peace.)   As I was sitting there, I said to myself, not unlikeI’ve done for the last twenty years: “Nancy, you have got to slow down. You’ve got to stop overcommitting. You can’t keep up this pace”And hearing that old, familiar,every year/month/week-same-thing-every-time created a moment of truth for me.  A slap in my own face.  Pretty simple. I need a life audit. Here’s why this was hard for me to admit.  I’m a coach, a LIFE coach you could even say.  I work with people inthis exact same situation all the time.  And somehow here I am, with too much on my plate, the never ending to-dolist, competing priorities,  overbooked calendars, and the same goal I’ve been setting for myself for decades.  Something has to change.  It’s time to pause, clear the decks, get still, and look at what’s really working, what’s not, and the way I want thingsto be.Here's what I'm sharing with you today:The exact moment of truth and the voice text I sent to my friend.The exact moment of truth and the voice text I sent to my friend.Why I'm choosing to do this in September rather than wait for the New year.

Today’s episode is powerful, Thrivesters - I’m diving into a topic most high-achieving women like you struggle with but rarely talk about: rest.  Not as a luxury, but as a requirement for resilience, clarity, and confidence.For example - my friend who was too exhausted to get off her bed and go to the beach - even though that’s exactly what she needed.   On a Thursday.  In Cape Cod.Sound familiar?  We, as women have been conditioned to believe that we have to earn our rest and today, we’re unpacking why that belief is holding us back and may be causing more damage than we know.We’ll explore:Why women are conditioned to associate rest with laziness or selfishnessHow tying your identity to your output makes rest feel dangerousThe sneaky guilt that shows up when you try to slow downScience-backed reasons rest = resilienceThis is your reminder that rest isn’t indulgent. It’s intelligent. And reclaiming it might just be the boldest move you make this year.You’ll learn how:Rest improves executive function, decision-making, and emotional regulationWomen experience higher rates of burnout because of our output-driven identityGuilt around rest is a symptom of conditioning - not truthResilience isn’t pushing through; it’s bouncing back - and this requires recovery (ie, REST).Your challenge this week: rest without the guilt and without “earning” it.  Take 20 minutes just for you - no justification required.Then - go out there and thrive like you mean it!Thriving Isn’t Just Doing More of What You Love - Even Joy Needs Boundaries EP156📩 Follow Me:⁠INSTAGRAM ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@‌nancy_medoff HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIN ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@‌nancymedoff HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💌 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join The Thrive Hive Community HERE

This one hit me hard, Thrivesters and I knew I had to bring this straight to the Hive.After three weeks on the road, I finally unpacked my big overflowing work bag - and I was blown away at what I found.Ten pens.

After three weeks, twelve planes, five hotels, and more real conversations than I can count, I felt something incredibly powerful, Thrivesters:I felt the power of the HIVE. The HIVE IS ALIVE (and it’s global)!No matter where I went in the world, I made real connections with the women I met. Everywhere.In airports, spas, at the gym - even when we didn’t speak the same language - we saw each other.WOW what a feeling.I’ve traveled quite a bit and in fact, used to travel almost every week for work. And from time to time I would exchange a knowing smile with the woman across the aisle or a pleasant nod across the lobby to that kindred spirit.But this time was different. This time, it happened everywhere.And I think I know why, Thrivesters.What you seek, you will find.Since launching The Hive, I have had countless conversations with women like you and women like me, sharing our unique perspective as women intent on thriving. And as a result, I expect to experience that immediate connection when I meet someone new.As I tooled around on this fun vacation, I subconsciously was seeking that connection from the women across the globe. And that’s exactly what I found.This episode is a love letter to women who are seeking real connection.

For 15 years, I gave myself every excuse not to run.Wrong shoes.Wrong gear.Too tired.Too cold.My feet hurt.You name it - I said it. And I believed it.Until one morning in Crete. I’m at this beautiful outdoor gym. No water. No socks. No Netflix. A total act of God that my AirPods even connected.I hit play and on comes Lynyrd Skynyrd. “Gimme Three Steps.”I start walking. Then jogging.Then running.And I couldn’t stop. I didn’t stop.The cadence. The breathing. The eye of the tiger look in my eye.WOW. I felt like myself again.That strong, focused, determined version of me I didn’t even realize had gone missing.And once I found her - oh, she was BACK.And it felt so. damn. good.This episode is about that moment. The one where you remember who you are. The one where something clicks and suddenly, all the excuses lose their power.Because she’s not gone, she’s simply waiting. Waiting for you to reclaim that part of you.And this kind of reconnection is available to anyone.Including you.If there’s a version of you that’s been lost…If there’s a dream or habit or instinct you’ve been putting off…It’s time to start paying attention.The signs are there.It’s up to you what you do with them.📩 Tag me on Instagram and I’ll send you the playlist that pulled me back to myself.✨ Ready for your own reset?

Half the year is almost behind us. Thrivesters.So let’s stop, breathe, and ask ourselves:Is what we’ew working on… still worth working toward?Today I’m inviting you to pause and take stock - not with guilt or shame, but with clarity and conviction.Because if a goal hasn’t gotten your attention in six months, it might not be your goal anymore. Perhaps it never was. And that’s okay.I’m walking you through my own mid-year check-in - across seven areas of priorities for my life.Some goals I’ve crushed and others I haven’t even touched. And that’s what this episode is really about:✅ Letting go of what no longer fits✅ Realigning with what matters now✅ Giving yourself permission to change your mindThis isn’t about pushing harder.

She left the job.The title.The hustle.And finally - she found herself.In this raw and soulful episode, I’m sitting down with Crystal Ellis - a wellness coach, speaker, and self-described “spreadsheet yogi” whose story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we stop performing and start living with intention.Crystal built the life she thought she should: Successful career, fitness ninja, Auntie, girlfriend, daughter - all the boxes checked and ready to say yes to the next ask.And behind the perfect resume was a woman who was depleted, disconnected, and living by other people’s expectations. Until one question cracked it all open:Who am I, really? Without the job, the hustle, or the title?What followed was a full-body unraveling - and a soul-deep rebuild.Today we’re talking about:·       Burnout, sobriety & nervous system resets·       Breakups and breakdowns as turning points·       Letting go of the identity you outgrewAnd wrapping it all up in a bow of what it feels like to live life on purpose.If you’re questioning, rebuilding or wondering what a more aligned life could look like - this one’s for you.You’re not too late.
