Rebecca Reinhart is a professional choreographer, director and producer who was thrown a giant curve-ball when she became an unintentional porn star by having a sex tape released without her consent.

It's so draining to have your sense of value all tied up in your productivity. And yet, it's no wonder. Our culture promotes and perpetuates this story at every turn. But lately I've noticed that more of us are having the conversation. More and more people are noticing that it doesn't feel good, and it doesn't work for them. In this episode of Guts & Grace, Priyanka Saju and Brigid Dineen take a deep dive into how to decouple these concepts, so that you can know your worth even when you're resting. Even when you're not monetizing your hobbies. Even when you're keeping some things just for you. Priyanka is a Toronto-based writer, poet and follower of creative impulses. She embraced writing as a medium to give voice to her unresolved feeling about her cross-cultural upbringing, the pursuit of success, and the nature of womanhood, self-acceptance and resilience. She is a woman of many hyphens, but considers Writer-Explorer-Diviner closest to her centre.

Our big feelings have a pivotal role to play when it comes to healing ourselves and healing the world. Often, we're taught that our feelings are a hindrance, and that makes us go into hiding. It's time for highly-sensitive big feelers to step into their gifts, because the world needs us now more than ever. In this episode of Guts & Grace, Carolyn Creed and I dive deep into how we can harness the wisdom of feeling in order to create new models of power and leadership. She even shares unique insights about the wisdom of horses, and what they can teach us about presence and strength. Carolyn’s passion is helping people reconnect to their authentic selves and live their life with greater purpose. Her soft, gentle presence allows clients to fully relax and feel safe to explore their soul, listen to–and trust–their heart, and awaken to their higher purpose.

When I heard Emily's story, I was floored. I would never have guessed that a woman as vibrant, passionate, and expressive as her had struggled so much. It never ceases to amaze me that each one of us has lived through things that others could only imagine.  But here's the thing. When we share our stories, we don't need to imagine anymore.  Instead, we connect more deeply. We see ourselves in each other. We sense our common humanity. We begin to feel less alone, and together, we rise. In this episode, we dive deep into seeing our story as our strength. We ask some big questions, like: How do we allow our stories to transform us? In such a practical world, how can we begin to trust our imagination? What happens when we manage to do that? And Emily drops a nugget of wisdom that inspires me and gets me back in my groove anytime I'm struggling to know the answers to the big questions. When you don't know what to do or what to say, her advice will open your creativity right up. Emily Tamayo Maher is a writing coach and award-winning author.

Having earned two Harvard master’s degrees, Courtney imagined herself shooting like a firework into the sky, raining down amazing ideas and enjoying a life full of delightful colleagues and meaningful contributions. Instead, she says, her work flame had flickered brightly and died. When she looks back at a photo from this season of her life, she barely recognizes herself. The strain of three children under five and a demanding nonprofit leadership job left her depleted. What she most wanted was for someone to hand her a magic elixir – a formula that would free her to both discover and release her unique gifts to the world and to flourish in her personal life. In this episode of Guts & Grace, we ask some big questions. What does a woman who longs to make a contribution to the world while having her needs fulfilled need in order to flourish? Where do we get caught up along the way?  Many women have a deep knowing that the world needs us now - whether that means parenting really consciously, sharing our art or unique gifts, building a business, creating or contributing something. And they're feeling how Courtney felt - depleted and unsatisfied. What's one thing women can focus on to move beyond burnout and become well-resourced revolutionaries? Courtney Pinkerton is a certified holistic life coach and the author of the Amazon bestseller, The Flourish Formula: An Overachiever’s Guide to Slowing Down & Accomplishing More. Courtney is a student and a teacher of the Enneagram who has helped hundreds of busy women slow down and accomplish and enjoy more in their life. She holds dual master’s degrees from Harvard Divinity School and Harvard Kennedy School, is the creator of the eight-step Flourish Formula Coaching program, and hosts international retreats for women. After selling their house and all their belongings and spending a year adventuring in Nicaragua, Courtney and her husband Richard Amory and their three children are making a new home in a co-housing community in Asheville, North Carolina.

When I read Lindsay Johnson's blog post called "Finding the Love of My Life," I KNEW we had much to discuss about self-love. In it, she says, "I was great at listing my characteristics and my skills. I was great at defending my right to be here by listing my value to other people or my contribution to the world. I was great and valuing my worth based on what I did for others or on how others felt around me. Do you know what I wasn't great at? Loving myself." I had a similar awakening many moons ago, and I think it's something that affects many of us. The truth is that we're often confused about what self-love actually is and exactly how it's done. In this episode, Lindsay and I dive deep into the delight of learning to love yourself. Lindsay Johnson is passionate about building strong communities, while helping you connect more deeply to yourself, your business, and the world around you. She's on a mission to move people into a place of radical self-acceptance and self-love. She does that by helping people become rockstar entrepreneurs.

What if your inner critic is just the patriarchy in disguise? In this episode, Jen Pavich and I take a deep dive into internalized oppression - what it is, how it shows up, and how to let that shit go! If you believe you need to be more perfect before you really start to show up for your life & your dreams, you won't want to miss this. We connect the dots between what our culture tells us, what we tell ourselves, and the reality we're creating as a result. Jen asks us to consider what we've been taught about what it means to be a "good woman," and then ask ourselves whether or not we truly believe those things. Simple, and yet so powerful. Jen Pavich is a feminist life coach who helps women overcome all of the bullshit they've been taught about how to be a perfect woman so that they can unleash their inner badass, thrive in their lives, and smash the patriarchy.

Kelly shares powerful insights about her own journey as a recovering perfectionist, and how parenting her son (who is on the spectrum) required that she loved and accepted herself just as she is.

Sara Exley defines self-care as, "Holding space and being wiling to do what feels right for me as often as I can." Brilliant. In this episode, we touch on: -trusting the process -re-parenting yourself (you're going to want to hear this one!) -what happens when you think you've figured it all out -creating safety so you can grow -saying yes when you mean it -saying no when you mean it -everyday self-care, and the not-every-day kind -dealing with isolation and learning to ask for help Ultimately, Sara and I both see self-care as a piece of the puzzle that leads to building a better world - one in which, as Sara says, "it's safe for us to need each other." Sara is the internet's most unlikely hypnotherapist. She's flunked out of most wellness practices, including meditation and yoga. She's not particularly zen. And even the word "calm" used to make her cringe. (Is that like being really tired?) In October of 2016, on a wild intuitive hair, she enrolled in Grace Smith's Hypnotherapy School. While she fully expected to gain a wonderful new skill set, what she didn't expect was that hypnotherapy would give her back to herself. Sara discovered she didn't really need to "transform" who she was. "Nothing was ever wrong with me and I was never broken." Hypnotherapy helped her let go of the subconscious crap that wasn't hers, reparent her heart, and feel safe trust herself on a deep, visceral level.

In this episode, I chat with Or Har-Gil, an Art Therapist who guides you to embrace your whole, imperfect, human self. Through one-on-one sessions and workshops, she facilitates full-spectrum self-expression by creating safe, playful containers to show up exactly as you are, create from your inner self, and find the beauty in your messy enough-ness. We took a deep dive into creativity, and the role it plays in our wellbeing and happiness. Many of us shy away from creativity, believing that we're not good at it. But amazing things happen when we immerse ourselves in the playful process, focusing not on skill and output, but self-expression and felt experience. Come on a journey with us, and get inspired to embrace creativity! (We even invented a new word!)

I met Sarah a few years back through the magic of the internet and discovered that we're almost neighbours. I was immediately smitten with her, as well as with her business name: Careergasm. So sassy! So bold! Sarah describes a careergasm as follows: "A careergasm happens when your work feels good. Like, really good. Like you and your work belong together. And you can bet your ass it feels as good as it sounds. A careergasm leaves you feeling happy and satisfied and fulfilled in your work. Not every second, but most of the time. You’ve got a hot date every Monday morning, and you show up over and over and over again because it just feels right. Mmmhmm. #slowjams" Who doesn't want that?  In this episode, Sarah gives us the goods on: -who gets to have a careergasm -whether or not you need to up-end your whole life to make it happen -her best advice for a woman who's feeling pretty ho-hum about her job...we're talking specific baby steps Oh, and the story of Sarah's own careergasm?

I'm so glad that I met Satya last year. She inspires me with her bubbly energy, adventurous spirit, and badass life! Badassery, after all, is Satya's specialty. She's all about doing what you love in a way that feels good to you, rather than keeping your head down and doing what's expected. And she's built a beautiful life that way!

If you want some inspiration to encourage you to march to the beat of your own drum, you are in the right place. Satya walks the talk. From turning down a lucrative, practical job offer in her early 20's to her solo travel adventures, she shows us how it's done. We talk about how burning your bridges can sometimes be the best idea you ever had, how to find freedom by being brutally honest about what works for you and what doesn't, making your own rules (and making more money), and how to move through the fear of it all. Satya is the founder + brand strategist at ZAG Studios.

The world seems to have agreed on a very linear expectation of constant and consistent flow - we show up every day at the same time and put out the same amount of work. This applies not only to our work, but also to our exercise habits, eating patterns, and social lives. Routine is revered as a way to keep yourself on track for maximum efficiency. I get that discipline and consistency are important, but I've started to wonder whether this approach is as helpful as we think it is. What if the secret to getting more done and finding more fulfillment lay in giving yourself permission to do things your way?
