Hey there, Warriors! Have you ever had an idea that kept nagging at you? It could be the universe's way of telling you something. That's what happened to my next guest. Lisi Lerch started her company in the Spring of 2001 while working full-time in the recruiting office at Cornell University. Her brand initially offered classic Kentucky Derby hats that she was inspired to create due to the lack of affordable women's hats she saw in the marketplace. A few years later, she decided to test the waters and dabble in jewelry-making, which became an instant obsession.Lisi's advice to entrepreneurs is to not think too much into it and just do it. Life is too short so dive in and take on each problem as they come. Plan A most likely won't work out so it's best to always have a Plan B, Plan C, and so on.Listen in to our fun conversation to hear about the celebrity bridal shower Lisi and her team attended and created personalized hats for. So much fun!Check out all of Lisi's fabulous products at www.lisilerch.com.As always, let us know what you thought of this episode! Don't forget to follow, rate, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Welcome back, Warriors. We all want to look and feel our best but it's a struggle sometimes, especially when we hit 40 and the years leading up to menopause. In this episode, my guest and I are discussing the many benefits of intermittent fasting as a way to help. Laurie Lewis is an intermittent fasting coach and author, who while going through menopause dealt with brain fog, lack of balance, memory loss, and the sudden gain of 50 pounds of stubborn hormonal fat. She tried everything she knew to feel better, and the methods that worked in the past made no difference. After four years of struggle, Laurie stumbled upon Intermittent Fasting and started fasting that very same day. The menopausal fog lifted in less than one week, she had more energy and felt more “like herself.” She lost 51 pounds in 15 months and has kept it off for years!Now, at 57-years old, Laurie has turned her personal success into the premier thriving Intermittent Fasting coaching business. As a certified health coach (Institute for Integrative Nutrition) she combines her knowledge of nutrition with deep research and practice of Time Restricted Eating. Laurie guides her clients with a dream come true -- eat the foods you love and enjoy the rest of your life feeling vibrantly well.Learn more about Laurie at www.FastForwardWellness.com and check out her book on Amazon Celebrating Your Vibrant Future, Intermittent Fasting for Women 44 to Forever.

Hey there, Warriors! Welcome back to another episode of the Suburban Warrior podcast. I am excited to dive into today’s conversation with another amazing Suburban Warrior, coming to us all the way from Malibu, California. I really enjoyed this conversation with Deepa Mehta, where we discussed one of my favorite topics, the healing arts and nourishing ourselves. While we all do different things, our mission is very much the same, which is to empower others to live their best lives, really understand and nourish ourselves, and know we all have this infinite potential inside of us.Growing up in a household that fused scientific, natural, and spiritual knowledge, at a young age Deepa developed a love of using this knowledge to help others. Her mission is to be a continual student of the healing arts in order to better help treat and nourish the body, mind, and the spirit as one and to support others in their healing journeys.Deepa uses her knowledge, intuition, and training of energy (reiki), food, nutrition, yoga, movement, meditation, and various other modalities to assist others in working through physical, emotional, or any other types of blocks/issues. Over the years, her tool belt has grown, and so has her love of nourishing and nurturing others. Her passion is to help people achieve their greatest expression of self, attain optimal health, and feel nourished- mind, body, and soul.To learn more about Deepa and her offerings you can visit her website www.lovedeepa.com, connect with her on Instagram @lovedeepa, and find her YouTube channel at OmMade KitchenAs always, let us know what you thought of this episode!

Welcome back to this week’s episode of the Suburban Warrior podcast. Our next guest is a true survivor and in my opinion, the epitome of a Suburban Warrior! My dear friend Tracy Coyle is a survivor and warrior for many reasons.  First, she has survived being my “ride or die” for the last 24 years.  We met the very first day of school, freshman year in college, and have been friends and sisters since.  After college, like many others, she headed to NYC to fulfill her dreams.  She worked for Morgan Stanley in one of the most iconic buildings in the world, the World Trade Center.  Little did she know, just a few years into her career, she would survive something more horrific than any of us could imagine, the 9/11 attacks.Fast forward 20 years, and she once again had to face another attack. This one was with a breast cancer diagnosis. I am beyond thrilled that my best friend in the world is here today to share her story of survival with us. Tracy is a wife, a working mom to 2 amazing daughters, and has beat cancer in the last year. I can’t wait for everyone to hear her story and how keeping a positive mindset has helped her get through it all.Connect with her on Instagram @tracywcoyle and on Facebook @Tracy Werther Coyle.

Anita Meeks has spent the last 27 years as an expert in the Payment Processing Industry.

A MUST LISTEN episode for each and every one of us!!! Dr. Jenn Simmons is a functional medicine physician who lives in Gladwyne, PA with her husband, Albert, and two boys, Andrew and Will. Dr. Simmons attended Jefferson Medical College, completed a general surgery residency at Albany Medical Center, and was the inaugural fellow in breast disease in Philadelphia in 2003. Just three years into her career, she was named TOP DOC by Philadelphia Magazine and maintained that title every year since. Dr. Simmons was one of the leaders in breast surgery and cancer care in Philadelphia for 16 years. She performed innovative, cutting-edge surgery and successfully treated thousands of women for breast cancer. She was frequently called on for interviews by both local and national news outlets, as a breast cancer authority. She speaks both locally and regionally on the topic of breast health, disease prevention, and the treatment of breast cancer. In 2017, Dr. Simmons was diagnosed with her first auto-immune disease. It was then that she learned the importance of diet in promoting health. Being a traditionally trained physician, she had limited training in the area of nutrition. She learned of functional medicine during this time and began doing some training in that field. So intoxicated by the concept of pursuing health rather than treating illness, she immersed herself in the study of functional medicine. In late 2018, following her second auto-immune diagnosis, she knew that she needed to leave surgery, both to heal herself but to help others to truly heal as well! In October 2019, she founded Real Health MD, a comprehensive wellness center that offers functional medicine and access to a host of other interventions that provide a roadmap to those who want to stop treating symptoms and instead know real health. After only a few months of practice, she was put on the cover of Main Line Today as their TOP DOC in integrative medicine! Dr. Simmons frequently speaks on her health journey, and on what she has learned in the course of healing herself. She continues to serve her breast cancer population by helping them and others to achieve hormonal health. When Dr. Simmons is not working, you can find her spending time with her family, at the dog park with her three dogs, perusing her local farmers market, on the tennis court, or in the kitchen with friends cooking up a storm.
