In this episode I'm diving into one of the most important — and most misunderstood — skills of entrepreneurial leadership: hiring top talent. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or frustrated by the lack of aligned candidates, I want you to know: you're not alone. I'm sharing the real-life story of one of my incredible clients, “Susie,” a thriving aesthetic business owner who hit a breaking point. She was in high demand, growing fast — and completely burnt out. Through our work together, we uncovered what was really holding her back: not a lack of talent, but a lack of clarity around her vision, her leadership, and her hiring strategy. In this episode, I'll walk you through: Why the right hires are more about alignment than experience How to shift from reactive hiring to strategic team-building What makes a job description scroll-stopping (and what doesn't) My 4 (actually 5!) hiring credos that I live by in my business How to build a team that's all-in on your mission And because I know how important this leadership work is, I've created a free resource for you — my Confident Leadership Playbook. It's designed to help you unlock your unique leadership DNA, understand the psychology and strategy of elite leadership, and define your personal success path.
I built a brand off being the woman who could do it all.But behind the scenes? I was unraveling.This episode unpacks the silent belief that high-achieving women carry: “If I don't hold it all together, everything will fall apart.”The belief that made me feel like I had to be the glue, the power source, the planner, the softness, the strategy—and never slip.And how letting go of that belief saved my business, my relationship, and my nervous system.Whether you're scaling your brand, raising babies, or trying to balance it all without burning out, this is the truth most women won't say out loud—but need to hear.What you'll hear in this episode:The identity crisis that hits when you're “successful” but exhaustedWhy being strong all the time is the fastest path to disconnectionHow the Soft x Savage movement was born out of breaking this patternWhat it really looks like to rebuild a business and brand from softnessThe truth about feminine leadership, support, and sustainable power
If you've been waiting to “arrive” before showing up fully—this episode is your wake-up call.In the final episode of the Authenticity Series, we're talking about what it really means to become the woman your brand is built for. Not six months from now. Not after the next launch. Now.This episode dives into the real reason your brand might feel disjointed, why content feels like effort instead of embodiment, and how to stop creating from who you think you need to be—and start leading from who you already are.Inside this episode:Why your alter ego is actually your unfiltered self without fearThe reason your content feels like work instead of resonanceHow to create from your current identity—not a fantasy future oneThe energetic mismatch that's keeping you stuck in inconsistent messagingWhat it looks like to let your brand breathe like a living extension of your voice, values, and vibeYou don't need to change to be more magnetic.You need to trust who you are right now—and start building from there.

You want to be seen as an authentic, powerful leader?Then consistency has to become your spiritual practice.In Episode 8 of the Authenticity Series, we're unpacking the real reason your content might feel ungrounded, inconsistent, or like it isn't building real traction—even when it's good. Spoiler: it's not your voice… it's your follow-through.Inside this episode:Why authenticity without consistency creates chaos instead of credibilityHow discipline becomes your deepest form of self-trust—and audience trustWhat your broken promises are silently doing to your magnetism and brand powerWhy nervous system regulation matters more than emotional expression when building trustThe secret to being felt and followed consistently (even in seasons of emotional chaos)This is your invitation to lead from grounded presence—not just emotion.Discipline isn't about control. It's about creating a container for your truth to be heard, honored, and received.
This week, I'm bringing you a conversation that's been on my heart and mind for months: the seismic economic shift we're living through, and why it matters now more than ever for those of us building legacy-driven businesses. We are in the midst of the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. Over $84 trillion is expected to change hands in the coming years as Baby Boomers pass down assets to Millennials and Gen Z. This isn't just an interesting stat—it's a full-on redefinition of who holds financial power, how people are making decisions, and what they value in the businesses they buy from and work for. In this episode, I'm breaking down why so many incredibly talented and driven founders still feel like they're spinning their wheels—despite outward success—and how this generational shift is quietly impacting everything from team retention to client behavior to your long-term profitability. We'll talk about: What this transfer of wealth means for female entrepreneurs How to build a business that can thrive in uncertain times The real difference between financial survival and sustainable wealth How leadership, structure, and clarity become your most powerful currency I'll also share the mindset shifts and strategic pivots I believe are necessary for women who want to not only survive this transition—but lead through it with intention, courage, and aligned action.

Buckle up for one heckuva inspiring episode today as I sit down with my dear friend, legendary trainer, author, and now AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR…Greg Justice. Yep—you read that right. At 63 years young, Greg recently stepped onto the Ninja Warrior stage and showed the world what's possible when faith, grit, and years of consistent deposits into your health account come together. This isn't just a story about obstacles, balance logs, or flying through the air—it's about mindset, purpose, legacy, and what it really means to never stop growing. In This Episode, We Dive Into: Greg's full American Ninja Warrior experience—from a 4am call-time to national TV stardom. How a setback (a brutal ankle injury) turned into a setup for his comeback. The Jack LaLanne legacy that drives Greg's mission. And a surprise visit from Elaine LaLanne on primetime NBC. Why mindset beats age every single time. Greg's recovery story and how he reprogrammed his brain (and body) to overcome fear. “BEDWAS”: The powerful acronym Greg lives by every morning. The difference between retiring and rewiring. In this Show, Greg also drops powerful truths like: “Age isn't just a number. It's experience, wisdom, and an invitation to do MORE.” “Your bank and health account are like the same thing. The more good things you put into them, the more you can take out of them.” “I'm a rookie at 64—and I'm just getting started.” “Don't let someone else define your limits.” This episode is for you if you've ever felt “too old” to start something new, or if you've faced a setback that's begging to be reframed as a setup for something greater. It's for the person who doesn't just want to leave a legacy—but wants to live it out loud, every single day. And it's for anyone who needs a powerful reminder that your health is your greatest form of wealth. Listen in, get fired up, and then go deposit something into YOUR health account today.

Ever notice how your hardest decisions—like skipping a workout or reaching for junk food—usually happen when you're tired, stressed, or just done? In today's episode, I'm sharing a simple but game-changing tool I use in those moments: The 3-Minute Rule. This isn't about forcing willpower or waiting to "feel like it." It's about giving yourself three intentional minutes to shift where you're making the decision from—so you can choose with clarity, not chaos.
We've all had that moment — your partner brings something up, and suddenly you're snapping back with a list of everything they did wrong. But wait… is that defensiveness, or are you just defending yourself? This week, we're diving into one of the trickiest relationship dynamics out there: defensiveness. And we're not just talking about it — we're unpacking real, raw stories straight from you. From sex drive mismatches to mental load meltdowns, parenting disagreements to pasta-water disputes (yep, really), these stories highlight how easy it is to get caught in the cycle of feeling blamed, getting reactive, and shutting down.
