I told you this was going to be a different kind of conversation, and I meant it. Serin Silva spent two decades inside high-pressure corporate environments at companies like MSNBC and Hearst, leading integration communications for billion-dollar acquisitions and overseeing a book of business worth $40 million. She was in rooms where she was often the only woman leader, playing a game with rules she didn't write and didn't always like. And then one morning, crossing the Bay Bridge on her commute, a little voice said: how much longer are you going to do this? That question changed everything. Today Serin is an energy healer, psychic medium, ceremonialist, and business strategist who helps women founders get unstuck and move fast. She brings together nervous system regulation, somatic work, intuitive gifts, and Fortune 500 rigor to help her clients find clarity, focus, and in some cases, double their revenue in under a year. This conversation goes everywhere, and I loved every minute of it. Grab a notebook before you press play. What You'll Hear in This Episode: How two decades in Silicon Valley and corporate media shaped Serin's understanding of what women have been asked to suppress at work The morning on the Bay Bridge that changed her life, and what it looked like to follow a voice she'd been ignoring for years What nervous system regulation actually has to do with business results Why heart-centered leadership isn't soft, and how women are already positioned to lead what's coming next The old corporate model (built for making cars, applied to people), why it's dying, and what's replacing it How Serin thinks about AI as a tool for freeing up more humanity, not less What it means to stop shape-shifting and stand at your full height The kaleidoscope analogy that I'm still thinking about Serin's answer to The Found Podcast closing question that genuinely moved us both Connect with Serin: Website: serinsilva.com Free 15-minute business reading Listen and Subscribe: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5YACTbRulN4NooX32NgzgV Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-found-podcast-with-molly-knuth/id1530616432 Have a notebook nearby for this one.

We're back with Part 2 of my two-part series on 10 things I know for certain about building a business, not from books or courses, but from almost a decade of living it. If you missed Part 1, go back and listen to Episode 255 first. We covered lessons one through five, and this episode picks up right where we left off. Today we're finishing out the list with lessons six through ten, and honestly these might be the ones that hit the hardest. We're talking money mindset, why you can't do it alone, what a coach actually does for you, giving yourself full permission to change your mind, and the thing I believe most deeply after all of it: this whole founder journey is personal development first. In This Episode: Lesson 6: Finances can be simple (and the money mantra that changed everything for me) The "money flows like water" mindset shift I learned from CPA Sheila Hansen Gina Knox's money waterfall system and why it finally made my finances click Lesson 7: You will not realize your goals entirely on your own. Bring others along. Lesson 8: You will grow faster and go further with a coach, a mentor, or a consultant in your corner How working with Katrina Klooster changed the trajectory of my 2025-2026 transition How podcasting consultant Jill Carr helped me make clearer decisions about the future of this show Lesson 9: You are allowed to change your mind (Surge, Sierra Mist, and why pivoting isn't failing) Lesson 10: This journey is personal development first and a professional endeavor second   People and Resources Mentioned: Sheila Hansen, CPA (and past Found Podcast guest) Gina Knox, founder of Small Business Money School (also a past Found Podcast guest) Katrina Klooster, life and leadership coach (another Found Podcast guest - Episode 252) Jill Carr, podcasting consultant (and, you guessed it, a Found Podcast guest!)

Lindsay Leahy is back on The Found Podcast for the third time, and this one is unlike any conversation we've had before. You might know Lindsay as the founder of The Restoration Project, the author of Take It All Apart (a USA Today bestseller!), and someone who has spent the last several years helping leaders and organizations do their most meaningful work. But in this episode, Lindsay shares that she's stepping away from what she built, into something she never saw coming. We talk about the book, what happened after it hit those bestseller lists, and the word that started everything this year: beyond. And then we go deeper into where "beyond" has actually led her, which is a brand new role as the Director of Leadership Formation for the Archdiocese of Dubuque. It's unexpected. It's emotional. It's one of the most honest conversations I've had on this podcast.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: The two dark weeks before the book launch that Lindsay didn't expect, and what she found on the other side Client stories from the Take It All Apart process (including Camden, a client stepping into marriage and family while keeping his magic) Lindsay's word of the year: beyond, and the "lay down your nets" moment that changed everything Practical, tactical tools for moving beyond stress, distraction, and busyness (yes, the dumping exercise is back) What it really means to move beyond hustle mode, and why it's ultimately a worthiness issue How a volunteer role inside the Archdiocese of Dubuque turned into a moment she could not say no to What it felt like to surrender a thriving business at the height of its success Why your definition of success doesn't have to look like anyone else's   Resources Mentioned: Take It All Apart by Lindsay Leahy (USA Today Bestseller) The Beyond Series on Lindsay's blog: gritgratitudeandgrace.com Beyond Stress and Distraction Beyond Busyness and Hustle   Connect with Lindsay: Substack: Lindsay M.

This is Brooke's third time on The Found Podcast. Every time she comes back, she brings something that stops me mid-conversation and makes me reach for my notebook. Brooke Fitzgerald is the Energy Builder at The Restoration Project in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and as of June 1st, she becomes the sole owner of the practice. She's a coach, a speaker, a mom of two boys, a recovering people-pleaser, and one of the most convicted, passionate humans I get to have in my corner. In this episode, we dig into the work that has defined Brooke's last several years, both personally and professionally.

Have you ever stood in the middle of a life that looks really good on paper and still felt like something was off? Like a quiet voice whispering, this isn't it anymore...and you didn't know what to do with that? This week on the Found Podcast, I'm bringing you a conversation with my own coach, Katrina Klooster, and I think this one is going to land somewhere deep for a lot of you. Katrina is a life and leadership coach who specializes in helping high-achieving women navigate transitions, those in-between seasons when you've outgrown where you are but aren't sure where you're going. After nearly 15 years in education (as a high school Spanish teacher and instructional coach), Katrina followed her own winding, messy, non-linear path into building a coaching practice, and she brings all of that lived experience to the women she now serves. In this episode, we talk about: The moment Katrina knew she had outgrown teaching and why it took her so long to trust that feeling Burnout, shingles, and the culture of self-sacrifice we've normalized in education (and beyond) Why your non-linear path is not something to apologize for The 37-38-year-old awakening many women experience and what's actually happening beneath the surface How high-achieving women get stuck in golden handcuffs and what it takes to break free Why most women aren't afraid of failure...and what they're actually afraid of instead The grief that's woven into growth (and why we don't talk about it enough) What Katrina looks for in a coach and how to know if coaching is right for you Connect with Katrina: Website: katrinaklooster.com Instagram: @katrinaklooster (send her a DM!)

With over 30 years of experience in human resources and recruiting, Sarah has seen firsthand what makes businesses thrive and what causes them to struggle. And here's the truth she keeps coming back to: it's not just the product, the service, or the strategy…it's the people. Together, Molly and Sarah explore what it really looks like to build a business rooted in care, communication, and culture, and why those "soft skills" are actually the most powerful drivers of performance, retention, and long-term success. From practical ways to build connection in your workplace, to the surprising impact of nonverbal communication, to the often-avoided (but incredibly important) topic of succession planning, this conversation is full of grounded wisdom you can apply right away. And in true Found Podcast fashion, you'll also hear how Sarah's story weaves together entrepreneurship, family legacy, and a 46-year-old pumpkin farm in rural Iowa.

This week's episode of The Found Podcast isn't about a flashy brand or a viral business story. It's about a woman you'll probably never see on a billboard, but whose work is changing lives quietly, consistently, and deeply in rural Eastern Iowa. In this episode, Molly sits down with Sarah Palmer, an English Language Learning (ELL) teacher in the Western Dubuque Community School District. For the past 18 years, Sarah has been teaching language, yes—but also welcoming refugee and immigrant families, connecting them to food, furniture, transportation, and community support, and modeling what everyday service can look like in a small town. You'll hear about students arriving with only what they could carry, the growing diversity in rural Iowa schools, and how public educators often become the "first point of contact" for families navigating a brand-new system and culture. This conversation is an invitation: to see the hidden work being done around you, to recognize the power of simple acts of service, and to ask how you might bring your own gifts to the needs in your community. What You'll Hear in This Episode How Sarah "fell into" English language teaching and discovered it was absolutely her calling The shift from a handful of ELL students to 40+ on a roster—and a rural school district filled with global diversity What it means to be the first trusted connection for families arriving with almost nothing The unseen ways public schools support families: food, clothing, furniture, rides, and more Stories of partnering with local organizations like Resources Unite, food pantries, and community foundations The cascade effect of one gift—a car, a bike, a bed—and how it can change an entire family's trajectory How growing up in a family of service shaped Sarah's worldview and the way she's raising her boys Why acting as "the connector" matters just as much as being the direct giver Practical ideas for how you can serve in your own community (even without a big budget or a lot of time) Resources & Links Resources Unite (Dubuque-area support + connections) Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque Connect with Molly: @mollyknuth

This week on The Found Podcast, we're trading strategy for stories and KPIs for giggle fits. To celebrate Thanksgiving and our November theme of family for the ambitious woman, I invited two of the biggest influences in my life and leadership to join me on the mic: my sister, Jessica Ryan, and my mom, Kathy McAllister. This episode is…unhinged in the best way. We swap stories about handmade Halloween costumes, soda cans secretly stashed in dresser drawers, hiding Dad's favorite candy, President's Day "mystery trips," and the legendary Mother's Day "Guilty Pleasure" road trip. We talk about the chaos of motherhood, what's different from the generations before us, and how much we all rely on humor to make the hard parts lighter. If you need something cozy and familiar in your ears while you bake pies, drive to Grandma's, or hide in the pantry from your kids for five minutes of peace—this one's for you. Underneath all the laughter, there's a quiet throughline: ambitious women need people who know where they came from, cheer them on, and don't mind making fun of them (lovingly) along the way. Key Quotes "The influences in my life, I feel like you guys have always taught us that things are just better when they're fun." "Not everything has to be so serious. And even when it is serious, it's okay to bring a little levity to the situation." "That's what we need as ambitious women—we need our cheerleaders, our support system, the people who remember where we came from and aren't afraid to make fun of us along the way."

This week on The Found Podcast, we're continuing our November series on family — and we're going right into the tender middle: motherhood. Because motherhood changes everything. Your time. Your nervous system. Your calendar. Your priorities. Your sense of self. And if you're an ambitious woman on top of that? It changes the way you define success, too. In this solo episode, I talk honestly about what it looks like to be a mom who loves her kids deeply and a woman who has dreams, goals, clients, and callings. We'll name the myths, talk about the invisible labor, and tell the truth about "balance" (spoiler: it's more recalibration than perfection). You'll hear: why you don't have to choose between being a "good mom" and a "good business woman" the emotional load and backward-planned days no one sees how ambition can actually make us better mothers questions I ask myself when I'm doing too much: What am I trying to prove? To whom? Does it even matter? a different way to measure motherhood — not by output, but by alignment This one's for the mom with toddlers on the floor, the mom of teens in 47 activities, the mom navigating IVF, the mom with grown kids… and the woman who still wants something for herself.

Hey listener, welcome back to The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth. November's theme is family — not just the cute-holiday-card kind, but the real, evolving, sometimes-stretchy relationships that ambitious women have to tend to while they're also growing businesses, teams, and impact. Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of those relationships: my marriage. This is not a "5 steps to a perfect partnership" episode. It's a real-time reflection from someone who's been married 16 years, building a business for 9, raising 4 kids, and learning (over and over) how to love a person while also loving her work.

This week on The Found Podcast, we're doing something a little different…and a lot more personal. I finally brought my real-life best friends to the mic — right here around my kitchen table — snacks, beers, belly laughs, squeals, and memories included. We've been friends for decades — from first kisses to first cars, from weddings to babies, from heartbreaks to hospital rooms. These women are my chosen family. And while this episode may not follow the usual structure… it might be the most heart-expanding one yet. Whether you've known your girls for 25 years or 25 days — this is your reminder to make room, make time, and make memories with the women who make life sweeter. What you'll hear in this episode: • The Nashville bachelorette trip we still call "the greatest weekend of our lives" • Why chosen family is sometimes the strongest family you've got • The seasons where we couldn't get together — and why we still never doubted our bond • Stories that absolutely cannot be repeated in public ever again • Celebrating the women who show up at the drop of a text — no questions asked Key Quotes: "I cried the whole night when I got home. I was like, I have the best friends." "These women are my chosen family." "We've seen each other through every defining moment of life — all 40 years." Takeaway: Friendship is the glue that helps us survive the chaos and savor the joy. Don't let time, distance, or busyness keep you from the people who feel like home.

This week on The Found Podcast, we're diving into the heart of friendship — the kind that's rooted in laughter, ritual, and showing up for each other year after year. As ambitious women, it's easy to let work and responsibilities crowd out connection. But our friendships, the chosen families we build, are what keep us grounded, joyful, and human. In this episode, I'm sharing stories of the traditions that have kept my friendships alive through every season of life, from Christmas candy-making and cookie swaps to spontaneous “meet the baby” dinners and annual scavenger hunts. We'll also explore what the research says about why rituals matter and how you can start or sustain your own. Because years from now, it won't be the to-do lists we remember. It'll be the people we gathered with along the way. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why friendship is a choice, and how to intentionally invest in it The story behind Molly's 16(ish)-year Christmas candy-making tradition  How shared rituals create meaning, stability, and belonging The difference between everyday rituals, seasonal traditions, and life milestone moments Practical ideas for creating simple, sustainable traditions with friends Why connection (not perfection) is what keeps friendships thriving Key Quotes: “You won't remember your to-do list five years from now.

What if the way we move through the world—our energy, awareness, and communication—has the power to shape how others move, too? This week on The Found Podcast, I'm sitting down with Terryn Drieling of The Good Movement Draws Good Movement Podcast to explore what she calls “good movement”—a principle inspired by her life on ranches in the Sandhills of Nebraska and rooted in stockmanship, connection, and emotional awareness. Terryn believes that, just like animals respond to calm, intentional movement, humans thrive when we learn to regulate our energy, validate others, and lead with love instead of fear. Through her coaching, podcast, and workshops, she helps rural folks improve communication, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with themselves—all while honoring the unique rhythms of small-town life. Our conversation dives deep into friendship, resilience, and the importance of self-understanding in order to create “good movement” in every relationship you're part of: at home, at work, and in your community. What You'll Hear in This Episode: How Terryn's ranching roots inspired her “good movement” philosophy. Why grit and resilience aren't the same and how to cultivate both. The difference between validation and agreement, and why it matters in relationships. How love- and trust-based communication creates deeper connection than fear-based compliance. The power of emotional awareness and self-regulation (and what animals can teach us about it). Terryn's personal story of friendship, healing, and mental-emotional growth through her cancer journey. Key Quote: “Good movement starts with us. When we understand ourselves, we can show up with more grace, compassion, and awareness—and that draws good movement from everyone around us.” Links: Visit Terryn's Website Listen to her podcast Connect on IG

Mid-September is here. It offers a fresh start, but the final months of the year are looming. That means Q4 energy is buzzing, but so is the pressure. Which got me wondering...How can we as ambitious women stay motivated without burning out or setting ourselves up for disappointment? In this episode of The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth, we dive into the difference between healthy pressure and harmful pressure, how to set meaningful goals, identify non-negotiables, account for seasonal rhythms, and break your work into manageable sprints. I share actionable strategies to celebrate micro-wins, build in recovery, and create a Q4 that feels aligned with your goals, your life, and your values. You'll learn: How to identify what “healthy pressure” really feels like. The importance of setting 1–2 non-negotiables for the season. How to plan for seasonal changes and holiday distractions. Breaking your goals into sprints to stay focused and motivated. Why celebrating micro-wins matters more than waiting for the big finish. Building intentional recovery into your schedule to prevent burnout. If you're ready to finish the year strong without losing your energy or joy this episode is for you.

Lexi's story is one of roots and reinvention.

In this episode of The Found Podcast (and all month long!), I'm diving into something that doesn't always make the business checklist: fun.

In this back-to-basics episode (that we're now going to turn into a series called Molly's Must Haves) of The Found Podcast, we're diving into the real, raw, and refreshing marketing moves that have worked for me in 2025. I'm pulling back the curtain on my own strategy for Molly Knuth Media, revealing what's working, what I've let go of, and how you can apply these lessons to your own business. Whether you're in year one or year nine, this episode will help you rethink your approach and give you full permission to market in a way that feels good, grounded, and effective. Here's what we cover: Why 2025 has been a pivotal year for shifts in life, leadership, and marketing The importance of understanding the season of your business The best marketing moves I made this year (and what I quit doing) How to use AI (like ChatGPT!) the right way Why I'm doubling down on podcasting, email, and in-person connection What it means to lead ambitious women through authenticity, not algorithms Key Takeaways: Put your time, energy, and dollars where it makes the most sense for your goals. Let go of outdated rules — especially on social media. Use tools like AI to save time and start strong, not to replace your voice. Know what season your business is in so you can market accordingly. You don't need to be everywhere — just where it matters. Resources Mentioned: Founder's Field Notes email series Descript for podcast and video content ChatGPT and other AI tools for creative kickstarts Action Steps for Listeners: Audit your current marketing strategy: What's working? What's not? Identify what feels aligned and sustainable Give yourself permission to evolve Ready to reimagine your marketing? Tune in now and let's build something that feels really good.
