Love Finds a Way (Even When Tinder's Not an Option)When Katherine's son with Down syndrome asked if he could download Tinder, her immediate "no" sparked a revolutionary idea. As a mother of four children with varying intellectual and developmental disabilities, Katherine recognized a critical void—adults with disabilities deserve safe paths to love and connection too.Katherine's journey to founding Find Love Safely weaves through profound personal transformation. After years as a stay-at-home mom initially driven by a desire to "fix" her children's disabilities, she gradually discovered the grace of accepting them exactly as they are. Her path led through corporate America, coaching, and what she describes as "the darkest year of my life" in 2024—experiences that uniquely prepared her for her current mission.Find Love Safely isn't just another dating app. It's old-school matchmaking with modern safeguards. Katherine personally meets every member and their guardian via Zoom before adding them to her database, ensuring authenticity and safety. The service has already created meaningful connections, with her son being the first success story, now happily in a relationship where they "have FaceTime dates every night where they sing worship songs to each other."Beyond romance, the service creates vital socialization opportunities. "Our children were isolated, on their devices all the time and looking for connection online," one parent told Katherine. Now, members practice conversation skills, learn boundaries, and build confidence in real-world interactions. What began in the Twin Cities has quickly expanded to multiple locations nationwide, with Katherine providing not just matchmaking but also educational resources on dating etiquette, consent, and healthy relationships.Join us for this powerful conversation about motherhood, resilience through life's valleys, and how one woman's empathetic understanding of a vulnerable population created a business that's changing lives.

The Parent Toolbox: Building Calm, Confident FamiliesWhat happens when a successful marketing professional suddenly realizes she's missing her children's most formative moments? Angie's journey from corporate burnout to holistic parenting coach offers a roadmap for mothers struggling to balance career ambitions with family connection.After finding herself on the kitchen floor in tears, Angie took the leap that changed everything – quitting her seven-year marketing career to prioritize her twin children. What started as teaching essential oil classes to help her family reduce toxic exposure evolved into something much deeper following personal trauma that tested her marriage, mental health, and identity. Through intensive therapy for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, Angie discovered therapeutic techniques that transformed not just her healing but her entire approach to family communication.The C.A.L.M. approach (Compassionate Communication, Awareness and Accountability, Learning emotional regulation, and Mindful Modeling) emerged from her personal healing journey. When she shared these tools with other parents, their response was universal: "Why don't we know this? Why aren't we teaching our kids this?" Now Angie helps families break generational cycles by asking better questions, holding space instead of always problem-solving, and creating consistent family meeting rituals that improve communication.Perhaps most powerful is Angie's philosophy that "all of me with me, all of them with them" – a mantra about boundaries that reminds us we cannot control others' reactions, only our own responses. This approach has allowed her to navigate identity shifts, friendship evolutions, and entrepreneurial pivots with increasing confidence.Whether you're questioning your current path, struggling with parent-child communication, or simply seeking more calm amidst family chaos, this episode offers practical wisdom from someone who's transformed personal struggle into purpose.

What Your Dream Board Can Teach You About SuccessAshley Shaw's journey from commercial to residential real estate offers a masterclass in building a thriving business while navigating the complexities of motherhood.Starting her career at just 21 in the male-dominated commercial real estate world, Ashley developed foundational skills in farming territories and pioneered door knocking as a strategy – something unheard of in the commercial space. Though successful, she found herself drawn to residential real estate, making a bold transition after five years to join Canada's number one team at Royal LePage.What truly distinguishes Ashley's story is her unflinching honesty about the challenges of balancing professional ambition with motherhood. Three days after giving birth to her first child, she was back showing houses – not only from necessity but because work provided moments where she "felt herself" again during a time of overwhelming change. With candor that will resonate with many working mothers, she reveals her struggles with nursing, postpartum depression (which she only recognized retrospectively after her second child), and the guilt that comes with dividing oneself between business and family.The evolution of Ashley's business reflects her strategic thinking. After joining Sotheby's in 2017 with a newborn, she quickly achieved the Senior Vice President designation in just nine months. When her business coach, Jim Miller, recognized her path to burnout, he refused further coaching until she hired support staff – advice that transformed her practice. This emphasis on creating systems, from scheduled client calls to her family's understanding of when she's "going in the zone" for urgent work, demonstrates how thoughtful boundaries create space for both professional success and quality family time.Perhaps most inspiring is Ashley's commitment to intentional living. Her annual solo retreat to evaluate the year and set new goals, followed by alignment discussions with her husband, ensures their shared vision remains cohesive. Her morning exercise routine, family involvement in her children's activities, and dedicated connection time with her spouse create a sustainable framework for balancing it all.For anyone feeling pulled between career ambitions and family responsibilities, Ashley leaves us with powerful advice: "Make sure it's aligned with your passion, because entrepreneurship is not easy. There's a lot of tough moments." Her story proves that with passion, persistence, and proper systems, checking off those dream board goals one by one is entirely possible.Connect with Ashley:IG: Ashley Shaw & AssociatesContact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@RYHReclaimingYourHue Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!

No One Thinks About You That Much (And Why That's Liberating)What happens when entrepreneurial tenacity meets the demands of motherhood? Allison Larson's story reveals the powerful intersection of these worlds as she navigates building a thriving mortgage business while raising four children, including two under two."The game's not over until I win" isn't just a catchy phrase for Allison—it's the mindset that propelled her from cold-calling in college to managing five offices with over ten team members. Throughout our conversation, she unveils the strategic planning that keeps both her business and family functioning seamlessly, from detailed morning routines to weekly "marriage meetings" complete with formal agendas. This level of intentionality transforms chaos into clarity, allowing her to show up powerfully in both domains.Particularly striking is Allison's candor about topics most entrepreneurs avoid—money conversations with spouses, fertility struggles while building a business, and the liberation that comes from realizing "no one thinks about you that much." Her practical advice on breaking free from the paralyzing "in-between" state many business owners experience (neither failing nor thriving) offers a roadmap for those feeling stuck. Rather than dwelling in victimhood, she demonstrates how controlling your attitude and effort creates momentum in any circumstance.Whether you're balancing multiple priorities, seeking to scale your business, or simply trying to bring more structure to your chaotic life, Allison's approaches to building support systems and standing confidently in your power will transform how you navigate your own journey. Ready to stop living in the "ick" and start building bridges instead of islands?

Beyond Social: Building Authentic Connections in BusinessThe intersection of entrepreneurship and motherhood creates a unique space where both roles can inform and strengthen each other—if we're willing to learn the lessons each has to offer. In this heartfelt conversation with Mollie Windmiller, founder of Lab MPLS, we explore how becoming a mother transformed her approach to running a creative agency and why authentic connection remains at the core of her business philosophy.Mollie shares her journey from Sotheby's International Realty marketing director to launching her own design group in 2008, and later founding Lab MPLS in 2014 while pregnant with her first daughter. What makes her story particularly compelling is how she navigated these parallel paths with intentionality, creating what she calls "golden hours" of dedicated family time while still building a thriving business.One of the most refreshing aspects of our discussion is Mollie's perspective on social media marketing. In a world where online presence often seems mandatory, she advocates for more meaningful ways to engage with communities. "There is a better way than always leaning into social media," she explains, emphasizing that Lab MPLS focuses on creating in-person experiences and building relationships that would survive if social platforms disappeared tomorrow.We dive deep into the challenging decisions entrepreneurs face, including Mollie's difficult conversation with her business partner that led to combining her two businesses just before the pandemic—timing that proved fortuitous. Her guiding principle that "everything happens for a reason" helps her navigate both business hurdles and parenting challenges with the same resilient mindset.Perhaps most valuable is Mollie's hard-won wisdom about recognizing the true value of time. After years of late nights and near burnout, motherhood brought clarity about setting boundaries and making tough decisions about where to invest her energy. This realization shapes how she now leads her team, encouraging them to protect their time as fiercely as she's learned to protect her own.Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur contemplating parenthood, a mother considering starting a business, or someone navigating both worlds already, this conversation offers honest insights about embracing evolution, building authentic community, and finding your people—both in business and in life.Connect with Mollie:IGWebsite:Contact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@RYHReclaimingYourHue Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!

A seasoned HR consultant and business owner, Erica brings us into her world — one where life, loss, hope, and healing coexist.

From Billable Hours to Boundaries: Rho Thomas on Redefining Wealth, Motherhood, and FaithWhen life nudged Rho Thomas off the traditional path of law firm prestige and into the uncharted world of entrepreneurship, she didn't run—she researched, reflected, and rebuilt. In this heartfelt conversation, Rho walks us through her journey from practicing attorney to full-time financial coach, revealing the wake-up calls, pivots, and spiritual breadcrumbs that led her to reclaim her hue.Based in Atlanta but raised in the Northeast, Rho is a mom of two boys (ages 6 and 8) who found herself at a crossroads during her third year of law practice. Though her firm offered a reduced-hours program, the mountain of student debt made it unattainable—so she and her husband got serious about their finances. What started as a blog to document their debt-payoff journey quickly evolved into a calling to help others, especially fellow lawyers, shift their money mindset and reclaim agency over their wealth.Themes + Turning Points:Boundaries Before Babies Even before motherhood, Rho was carving space for herself thanks to wise mentorship. But after becoming a mom, the blurred lines between law and life hit hard. She began waking up earlier, pivoting schedules, and reevaluating what kind of parent and professional she wanted to be.The Breaking Point After the birth of her second child, Rho hit a low—feeling like she was failing in all areas of life. Therapy gave her the mirror she needed: she'd been showing up for everyone except herself.The Full-Time Leap In September 2021, Rho left the legal field to become a full-time financial coach. Guided by faith and intentionality, she now helps lawyers grow their net worth and heal their relationship with money—especially by tackling the emotional barriers of shame, fear, and scarcity.Faith & Flow Rho's business is rooted in her Christian faith. She prays over her clients, her work, and her family daily—and tithes 10% of top-line revenue. She doesn't hide this part of herself, noting how vital it is to stay grounded and led by something bigger.Structure Through Seasons With her kids now in school, Rho reflects on how the structure of their lives has shifted—and how entrepreneurship requires flexibility, especially for mothers. She encourages women to embrace each season and its unique rhythm.Mic Drop Advice: "Just jump in. Go for it. And pay closer attention to your money—it really does matter."A Great Connection for Rho: Anyone in the legal or personal finance space looking to collaborate, expand impact, or serve mission-driven professionals.Connect with Rho:

After twelve years apart, we reunite with Courtney Tanaka, a physical therapist turned entrepreneur who recently launched Renew Me PT—a practice designed to support mothers in reclaiming their bodies, their strength, and yes, even their sense of self.With over 13 years in the field and a doctorate in physical therapy, Courtney had built a steady career inside the healthcare system. But after the birth of her first child, she began to feel a subtle tug -- a whisper that maybe there was something more. She had always enjoyed her work… until she didn't. The missed school conferences and sports games began to stack up, and the emotional load of motherhood couldn't be ignored.She didn't set out to become an entrepreneur. It wasn't until recently that she connected the dots between motherhood and the desire to carve out something that was her own. As she puts it, if she gives her time and energy to something, it had better light her up.And it does. These days, Courtney doesn't mind working on a Saturday afternoon or sneaking in a few hours after bedtime—not out of obligation, but because she's building something that feels aligned, fulfilling, and deeply personal. She's serving the very community she once needed.Highlights from our conversation:The pain (literal and emotional) of early motherhood—and how even as a PT, she didn't know help existed for what she was experiencingThe surprising challenge of patience—and learning to trust the slow buildCreating her dream support network of doulas, chiropractors, mental health professionals, and fellow practitioners to serve new moms more holisticallyReal talk about marketing, especially learning to speak directly to the one woman she's meant to serveReclaiming empathy, faith, and purpose after years in a system that often overlooked all threeCourtney opens up about the moment she realized her child was learning kindness not just from school, but from watching her. She talks about setting boundaries with her kids, involving them in the journey, and modeling what it means to pursue meaningful work without sacrificing what matters most.She's also refreshingly honest about self-sabotage, boredom, and her Enneagram 7 wiring—and how knowing herself better has helped her lead more intentionally, both at home and in business.Her guiding philosophy? Everything happens for a reason. It's a belief shaped by deep personal loss and a quiet but persistent faith that's carried her through each chapter.Words of wisdom for other women walking a similar path: start where you have control. Change something small. Don't wait for the whisper to turn into a shout.A beautiful, layered, real-life journey of a mother reclaiming her hue—one choice at a time.Connect with Courtney: Instagram: @renew_me_pt Facebook: Courtney Tanaka Website: ReNew Me PTContact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@RYHReclaimingYourHue Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!

Building Foundations, Breaking Cycles Trigger Warning: This episode contains honest discussions around mental health and suicidal ideation. Please take care while listening.In this episode, Kelly Kirk sits down with Lauren Duke, founder of Core Ops Collective, a powerhouse in operations leadership and real estate systems strategy. From hairstylist and military spouse to multi-business entrepreneur, Lauren's story is one of grit, grace, and real growth.Lauren shares her winding journey—from doing hair in Alaska and Italy, to launching a virtual assistant company supported by family, and then an unexpected leap into real estate. After working within a high-powered expansion team that did over 3,000 transactions a year, Lauren saw the cracks in the foundation of hustle culture—burnout, blurred boundaries, and reactive systems. Instead of patching holes, she set out to build something different.Peaks & Valleys of Her Journey:Burnout and Breakthrough: While juggling a high-pressure role and motherhood, Lauren found herself losing presence—especially during pivotal moments like childbirth. A wake-up call came when she realized she couldn't remember the birth of her second son because she was mentally absent.Postpartum Darkness: During her third pregnancy, Lauren faced deep depression, weight gain, and near-hospitalization. It wasn't until after giving birth that she felt the “clouds lifted,” attributing healing to a mix of support, medication, and faith.Mental Health and Boundaries: Lauren now relies on a mix of medication, deep self-awareness, and values-based decision-making to stay grounded. Her mantra: “Core values are the North Star.”From Chaos to Clarity: Core Ops Collective was born in May 2023 after a business pivot. She now guides agents in building businesses with a foundation—prioritizing systems, sustainability, and soul.Powerful Reflections:“Someone else's urgency is not your emergency.”“Ask yourself: Do you want comfort or do you want solutions?”“If the best-case scenario is better than the worst-case, go for it.”Lauren is rewriting what it means to thrive in business and life.

Lauren Lancaster joins us with a story that blends entrepreneurship, motherhood, and the art of reinvention. With eight years in real estate, her journey began long before her license—shaped by previous careers, a desire to build something lasting, and a calling to be a mom above all else.She started as a buyer's agent in 2017, eventually stepping out on her own. Known for her “bougie” taste and systems-driven mindset, Lauren leaned into creating structure early on—something that carried her through chaotic moments like COVID. But real growth came through learning when to let go.Motherhood didn't follow the script. After having her son August, she expected her best business year yet. It wasn't. Instead, she learned that entrepreneurship, like birth, requires flexibility and grace. Where she allowed her birth plan to shift, she held too tightly to business expectations—and that contrast taught her the value of being fluid.Relationally, she shares the tug-of-war real estate brings—boundaries, communication, and the need to align your energy with your season of life. She began protecting Sundays and reassessing how her time was spent, especially as a new mom.A pivotal shift came when she leaned into her local mom community—playdates, classes, connections—and unexpectedly found fulfillment outside her business. After parting ways with her business partner, she launched “Hey Mama,” a passion project turned business foundation. What started as a newsletter and meet-ups completely uprooted and rebuilt her brand.Lauren speaks to the slow, often non-linear evolution of self. She reminds us that there's no race to figure it all out. You write the story. Sometimes you rewrite it. And sometimes, you discover chapters you didn't plan for.Looking ahead, she envisions supporting other entrepreneurial women, blending her coaching heart with a long-term vision that allows her to say yes to both her business and her son.Her advice? Trust yourself more. You don't need it all figured out. You just need the courage to begin—again and again.Connect with Lauren:IGWebsiteNewsletterContact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@RYHReclaimingYourHue Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!

For Jaime Gaard Chapman, entrepreneurship has always been second nature. From a childhood babysitting calendar to launching Gaard Performance Academy, she built a business centered on grit, discipline, and character. Unlike traditional sports models that preyed on parents' fears, she envisioned something deeper—an academy that would shape both athletic skill and mindset.Balancing Business and MotherhoodBy 2015, business was thriving. But when motherhood entered the equation, wearing all the hats became unsustainable. She pivoted to camps and clinics, allowing her to maintain impact while reducing hours—a recalibration, not a retreat.Then came another realization: her family needed more of her.Jaime and her husband, both coaching, saw the toll on their children—the shifting caretakers, unpredictable schedules. In an honest conversation, they chose to step away from basketball coaching, creating space for their family.Self-Care & Letting Go of PerfectionJaime's approach to self-care is rooted in simplicity—lemon water, long walks without a phone, stacking small habits. She challenges the myth of balance, recognizing that some seasons are 90/10, others 50/50. What matters is being adaptable.She also believes in starting before you're ready. The first draft does not have to be perfect—just begin.A Setback That Led to PurposeAt 26, Jaime faced her first true professional failure—not getting a job she had worked for. Up until then, success meant achievement and recognition. But that rejection led to Gaard Performance Academy, proving that sometimes the best doors are the ones that close.Lessons for the MompreneurTrue success isn't relentless hustle; it's alignment.Double vision: seeing people as they are while recognizing who they can become.Community matters. The deepest friendships are built on virtue, not just convenience.Resources Mentioned:Aristotle's Three Types of FriendshipsDigital Detox on Hallow Connect with Jaime IG: @gaardperformanceacademy Website: Gaard Performance AcademyIf this conversation resonates, share it with a friend.

A pivotal moment came when a friend reminded her: "You are the most important thing." This simple yet powerful statement gave her permission to prioritize self-care.Faith Over Fear in Business & LifeJasmine's entrepreneurial journey began unexpectedly—just days after her honeymoon, when her corporate job cut her hours in half.

In this episode, we sit down with Cristina Maduro, a wardrobe stylist and entrepreneur from the DMV area. Her journey is one of transformation—moving from corporate success to motherhood, entrepreneurship, and redefining fulfillment.From Corporate to Motherhood & Identity ShiftsCristina's early career was traditional—executive coaching, advanced degrees, and corporate loyalty. But when she had her first child while working for her father's business, people expected her to stay home as the CEO's daughter. Eventually, she left, struggling with postpartum challenges at a time when few were talking about them.As the youngest sibling and the first in her friend group to become a mother, she lacked the community support she needed. She credits Lisa Harris for helping her realize the importance of building a village, something that feels less common today.Entrepreneurship & Finding Her PathCristina's entrepreneurial journey began at her children's co-op preschool, where she bonded with other moms questioning how to balance career and motherhood. While working part-time in a maternity and children's boutique, she saw firsthand how high-achieving women navigate life transitions.This led her to co-purchase the boutique, marking her first business venture. At the same time, her involvement in an MLM (multi-level marketing) business helped her develop skills in coaching, branding, and wardrobe stylist.After seven years, she sold her shares and went all-in on MLM, where she built a strong community and business network.Lessons in Business & MotherhoodCristina highlights the different stages of difficulty—whether raising children or running a business—each season has challenges.As a stylist, Cristina believes in the power of presentation—from showering to wearing a bold lip color, small shifts can transform confidence and energy. She's also let go of rigid definitions of success.Now, she balances boutique styling and virtual wardrobe services, embracing joy intentionally and capitalizing on her God-given gifts.Advice to Her Younger Self: Trust your gut.

Embracing Identity & Preventing Burnout with Lisa Bobyak (BONUS OFFERING - VIRTUAL WORKSHOP 3/20 - see details below)In this episode, Lisa Bobyak, a coach with 13 years of experience, shares her journey through motherhood, identity shifts, and burnout recovery. She uses the metaphor of flamingos—where white ones are mothers who give everything to their young—to highlight how many women pour themselves into others while neglecting their own well-being.Key Themes:•Identity Shifts & Motherhood: Lisa struggled with transitioning from a working mom to a stay-at-home mom, feeling societal pressure that made the shift difficult. She later embraced it but realized she initially resisted the change.•Burnout & Boundaries: Research on burnout, which has been studied since the 1960s, typically focuses on workplaces, but Lisa argues it affects stay-at-home moms, retirees, and caregivers as well.

Success-driven women often believe they can do it all—until life forces them to redefine what “having it all” truly means. Alessia Citro, a former Google leader and serial entrepreneur, thought motherhood wouldn't change her. But when her daughter was born, everything shifted. Her priorities, ambitions, and sense of self had to evolve.The pandemic accelerated this transformation, bringing her face-to-face with burnout, identity loss, and the realization that “mommy wine culture” was making things worse, not better. She chose to lean into sobriety, self-care, and rediscovered her unshakable faith. A serendipitous “God Wink” on a flight back from  Hawaii confirmed what she already felt deep down—corporate life no longer fit. The real challenge? Rebuilding her life on her terms.Alessia has found that success isn't about forcing structure but about creating habits that align with your vision and values. She breaks it down into five pillars: awareness, alignment, auditing what's working (and what's not), activation, and ultimately, ascension. By shifting from discipline to devotion, she believes habits can be expansive rather than restrictive, helping women unlock new levels of growth.Now, she empowers high-achieving women to get intentional—whether it's through designing better routines, modeling authenticity for their children, or trusting the process of reinvention. Her advice? Stop “shoulding” on yourself. Step fully into who you are meant to be. The path to fulfillment isn't about doing more—it's about doing what truly matters.Connect with Alessia:IG: @alessiacitro__Website: alessiacitro.com Book: Higher Self Habits: The Scientific, Strategic, and Spiritual Framework to Get out of Your Own Way -- For GoodFreebie Resource: Guided Visualization GuidePodcast: Inhabit with Alessia CitroContact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@RYHReclaimingYourHue Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!
