Welcome back to Boss Bitch Radio
What if weight loss was never the real goal? In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm breaking down the real reason so many women struggle to stay consistent and it has nothing to do with willpower, motivation, or the "perfect plan." Today, we're diving deep into what it actually means to become the main character of your life - the woman who no longer chases weight loss, but naturally makes decisions from her highest good. If you're trying to live a Level 10 life but feel like you're operating from a Level 2 identity… this episode is your wake-up call. This is your software upgrade for 2026.

If your January plan sounds like punishment, restriction, or "I just need to get back on track," this episode is for you. In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, we're talking about an identity hangover - the space where your old diet culture identity doesn't fit anymore, but your brain keeps trying to live there anyway! This conversation is for the woman who misses feeling confident in her body but refuses to go back to obsession to get it. We're unpacking why living like your life is one long diet cut stops working, why rest can feel like failure, and why chasing another plan, program, or motivation spike isn't the glow-up you think it is. If you're heading into 2026 ready to stop shrinking, stop white-knuckling results, and start feeling powerful again, press play.

It's the final episode of the year and we're going out sparkly, chaotic, and very on brand ✨ This week, we're joined by the incredible Melanie Eaton (Helms), Richmond-based luxury fashion, boudoir, and branding photographer, plus ME Program member Hannah, for a conversation about confidence, creativity, community, and taking bold artistic risks.We talk disposable cameras, Barbie shoots, Vikings, mermaids, snakes (yes, real ones), and why overthinking is the hardest thing to photograph. PLUS—Big Daddy brings us some truly unhinged Bad Santa crimes, and we round things out with high-key and low-key New Year's Eve plans around Richmond.
ABOUT THIS EPISODEEver feel like you know better… but your life hasn't quite caught up yet? Like you've upgraded your habits, your mindset, even your standards — but your reactions, confidence, or nervous system are still running an old script? Yeah. That's not a failure. That's The Alignment Gap.In this episode, we're talking about the quiet, uncomfortable space between awareness and embodiment — when women evolve intellectually faster than they evolve emotionally. And whew… that gap can create confusion, self-doubt, and a lot of unnecessary self-criticism if you don't understand what's actually happening.This conversation is for the high-achieving, self-aware woman on a healing journey who's asking, “Why do I know better but still feel misaligned?” We're breaking down identity growth, self-trust, nervous system recalibration, and why giving yourself grace is the missing key to real alignment. No pushing harder. No shaming. Just truth, embodiment, and Main Character Energy.KEY TAKEAWAYSClarity Insight: Awareness grows faster than embodiment — and that doesn't mean you're behind. It means you're integrating.Truth Bomb: Your nervous system needs safety, not pressure, to catch up with the woman you're becoming.Empowering Shift: You can love past versions of yourself and choose a more aligned way to express your power now.Action Step: Alignment isn't built through force — it's built through small, consistent, embodied choices.Main Character Takeaway: You're not becoming her someday — your identity is simply catching up to who you already are.CHAPTERS00:00 Understanding the Alignment Gap01:57 Creating a Safe Space for Growth02:43 Navigating the Challenges of Growth04:18 Building Self-Trust Through Repetition07:46 Embracing the Discomfort of Expansion09:51 Reassigning Roles in Your Evolution14:07 Practical Steps for Embodying Change16:53 Final Encouragement and Call to ActionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP:
If you've ever felt like you "fall off" your health, fitness, or self-care goals… this episode is for you. Today's conversation is pulled straight from a Healthy & Hot membership call, where we go way deeper than workouts or meal plans. We're talking about the real reason consistency feels so hard and why it's not because you're lazy, broken, or lacking discipline. This episode is all about main character energy, identity shifts, and what actually needs to happen before you set goals for 2026. Because if you don't change the woman making the decisions, you'll just repeat the same cycle with a shiny new plan. If you're tired of collecting programs that never stick and you're ready to stop sleepwalking into another year, this is your wake-up call!

Unpopular truth: the reason most women struggle with health, fitness, confidence, and follow-through isn't because they don't know what to eat or how to work out - it's because they're still making decisions from an old identity. In the first episode of my Main Character Energy series, I'm breaking down why identity shifting is the real missing piece behind lasting change (and why motivation alone never works). I'm sharing my personal evolution, why autopilot habits keep you stuck, and yes… why we're starting this series with makeup (stick with me). We'll talk surprising facts about appearance, how small rituals change how you show up, my own main character makeup routine (even if you're not a makeup girly), and how this deeper identity work actually makes results stick - not just in January, but for good. If you're done with your old bullshit and ready to step into your main character era, you're in the right place!

Playing it safe, waiting to feel ready, or hiding behind busy work won't create momentum. In this episode, Kendra breaks down what it really takes to grow a coaching business in 2026—and it starts with mindset. Growth requires bold, uncomfortable action: showing up visibly, starting the ads, initiating conversations, and stepping fully into leadership instead of staying on the sidelines.Kendra then walks through why planning and data-driven goals matter more than motivation. From setting “good, better, best” targets to understanding conversion rates and outreach volume, she explains how clarity replaces guesswork. Posting and hoping isn't a strategy—consistent client acquisition comes from proactive action, simple math, and systems that support follow-through.Finally, she covers the skills and tools coaches can't ignore anymore: precise, emotionally resonant messaging, ethical marketing, AI for efficiency, and paid ads for volume. When used correctly, these tools reduce burnout and accelerate growth. This episode is a direct call to stop hiding, take ownership, and build a business that actually moves forward.In this episode you'll learn:The core to succeeding in 2026 is adopting main character energy by taking bold, sometimes scary, actions in your businessPlanning and goal-setting are critical to sustained momentumSetting tangible, layered goals and understanding client acquisition conversion metrics for effective planningHow mastering precise, visceral messaging is vital to stand out in today's competitive coaching marketEmbracing marketing as a necessary, learnable skill is essential for online business successSave time and boost content quality in 2026 by integrating AI toolsInvesting even a small budget in paid ads is necessary to scale and gain volume beyond organic reach Leave the podcast a 5-star review: https://ratethispodcast.com/wealthy

Laura sat on her dream for years. She had already moved abroad, left her marriage, rewritten her book, built a whole new life in a new country… and yet the next thing she actually wanted to build — a business supporting women after divorce — stayed in a drawer. In this conversation, you'll hear exactly how she went from: • paralyzed by fear of judgment • hiding the work she'd been doing for years • waiting to feel "ready" • thinking she "should've figured it out by now" to owning her CEO energy, talking publicly about her work, pitching her idea in real life, and getting her first clients. We break down the exact moment things clicked, the messy middle, and the main character energy skills that helped her finally do the thing. If you've been circling a dream for months, years, or a decade… this episode is going to open something up for you.

In this episode, Abby shares her late bloomer story with so much honesty and clarity. We talk about what it was like to be in her mid-30s, never having been in a serious relationship, carrying a loud "I'm behind" and "I'm weird" narrative, and feeling totally unsure how to talk about her dating history without spiraling. Abby opens up about moving to a new city, trying to date while feeling embarrassed about her experience, and struggling with the not good enough voice that made her avoid connection. She also shares what shifted for her as she started to process shame, build community, and trust herself enough to take up more space at work, in dating, and in her daily life. Inside this episode, you'll hear: how Abby learned to identify and quiet the "I'm weird" and "I'm behind" voice how belonging helped her stop self-isolating and start connecting what helped her ask for what she wanted (down to "I need 25% more texts") how she advocated for herself at work while doing two jobs how she built friendships, community, and eventually a healthy relationship what she wishes she could tell her past self, who felt so far behind This is a powerful example of what can happen when you stop avoiding your desires and start trusting yourself enough to move toward them.

Today, we're diving headfirst into quantum confidence, identity integrity, and the spiritual physics behind collapsing timelines.

Baby, everything accelerates.In this soulful, truth-telling episode, I break down how to finally embody the woman you've been praying to become. We explore energetic honesty, emotional sobriety, and how to stop negotiating your worth so your destiny can rise to meet you. You'll learn the exact shifts that help you get out of your head, back into your spirit, and aligned with the version of you who's already thriving in the timeline you want to collapse into.If you're ready to stop playing small, stop arguing with your future, and step fully into your Main Character Era, this episode will walk you straight into identity alignment with clarity, conviction, and confidence.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Alright… this one right here? This is your soul-level grounding session for anytime you're stepping back into old environments — the ones that knew a past version of you and still expect her to show up; also AKA your pre-Thanksgiving survival guide for the soul. Because listen — nothing tests your healing like walking back into environments that only know the “old you.” The people-pleaser you. The never-sets-boundaries you. The “sure, I can do it” version you've worked so hard to retire.In this episode, we're talking identity integrity, holiday boundaries, emotional maturity, and stepping into rooms as the healed woman you've become — not the version they're more comfortable with. If you've ever felt yourself shrinking around family, old friend circles, or familiar environments… sis, this is your sign to reclaim your power, hold your energy, and walk in thankful and protected.We'll dive into how to stay grounded, how to lovingly enforce boundaries, and how to show up as your present self without slipping back into outdated roles. Expect spiritual grounding, real talk, gentle conviction, and the kind of coaching that keeps you aligned, unbothered, and in full Main Character Energy.KEY TAKEAWAYS:#1 — You're Allowed to Evolve: Just because they remember who you were doesn't mean you owe them that version now.#2 — Familiarity Doesn't Equal Access: Family knowing the old you does not give them authority over the healed you.#3 — Protect Your Peace, Not Their Comfort: Boundaries aren't rude — they're respect for your growth and your nervous system.#4 — Choose Responses, Not Reactions: Slow down, breathe, and let your healed self answer… not the version trained to perform.#5 — Your Identity Is Sacred: This year, your Main Character Energy walks in first — grounded, grateful, and gloriously unbothered.THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP — THE IDENTITY INTEGRITY EDITION:Friend… this is your anchor. Your warm-up. Your spiritual pre-game before stepping into any environment where old energy tries to pull on you. Use this 2-Step anytime you feel yourself wobbling — holidays, reunions, old friend hangouts, all of it.✨ Step 1: Name the Version They Expect — and Release HerBefore you walk into that house, pause and ask: “Who do they think I still am?” The fixer? The peacekeeper? The quiet one? The emotional sponge? Name it so you can release it. Call it out so it can't call you back.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEYou ever notice how some leaders make everything feel like a Ciara video—energy high, rhythm right, everyone shining in their lane—and others make every day feel like a horror-movie sequel you didn't audition for?
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:You ever have one of those mornings where your alarm goes off and before your feet even hit the floor, your brain's already sprinting a marathon? That was me — deep in my wake-up-and-grind era. I thought hustle meant purpose. That the more I did, the more I mattered. But here's the truth: busyness isn't purpose — it's a distraction from alignment.In this episode, we're redefining success from the inside out. You'll learn how to stop running on hustle fumes and start operating on peace fuel. We're getting real about what it means to live and lead from alignment — emotionally, spiritually, and energetically — so your peace isn't sacrificed for your productivity.Friend, this one's a heart check and a blueprint all in one. If you've been feeling stretched thin, restless, or like you're constantly doing but not becoming, this is your permission slip to slow down and sync up. Peace is not a pause in progress — it's the foundation that sustains it.

Mimi opens up about hitting rock bottom in every area of her life—the five pillars: mental, physical, financial, spiritual, and social—and how that led her to create Activations, short motivational audios that rewire your mindset while you live your life. The two dive into intuition, boundaries, perfectionism, people pleasing, and the power of listening to your gut. Scheana shares how trusting hers led to a major career decision, while Mimi explains why transformation isn't about being perfect—it's about how fast you bounce back.

You are THE main character of your story. In this episode, I speak on how important it is to realize the story can't write unless you acknowledge your role in your own script.
What if everything you thought about your pain was backwards? What if you're not the hero who has to fix it all - you're the supporting character in a story God is writing about Jesus? This convicting message exposes the trap of "emotional vampirism" - making your pain your identity and draining everyone around you while refusing to surrender to Christ. Discover why your crisis is God's platform, why His delays reveal deeper love, and how your suffering writes a story about Jesus that brings others to faith.

On the show today is none other than Star Monroe! We've got an incredible conversation about how to embrace - strut! - into main character energy (and what the truly means), as well as how to decenter men and center your fine self! A few topics discussed include internal vs. external validation, seeing the world through the male gaze, what happens to the ego during times of self doubt, the importance of embodying healing (and how to do it), the truth about authenticity, and more. After the main interview, the mics stayed hot once more and the Flirt Coach ... got coached! You don't wanna miss this moment. Then for the second segment of this episode, I've got a meditation for you on cultivating inner confidence that pairs perfectly with Star's interview. You can listen to it driving, but at least pull over to do the practice!

ABOUT THIS EPISODEPull up close, friend. If you've been second-guessing every text, replaying conversations on loop, or stuck in that tug-of-war between fear and intuition—this is your reset.

Is AI killing creativity or quietly making creators better? In this episode, Katelyn sits down with director and brand creator Alaina Booth to unpack how to combine Main Character Energy with a practical AI strategy that actually grows your brand. Alaina shares lessons from filming weddings, music videos, and brand campaigns, and explains why every high-performing post starts with a simple story arc: character, world, conflict, transformation. You'll learn how to spot your unique “weird,” turn it into a repeatable content lens, and use AI to remove resistance so you can publish consistently without sounding like a robot. We dig into short-form video, hooks and captions that convert, and how Stanley AI analyzes your voice, audience signals, and saved inspirations to serve daily ideas that feel like you. Alaina breaks down where AI helps most (ideation, scripting, packaging) and where human instincts must lead (shooting, editing, creative decisions). If you've been posting without traction or over-consuming and under-creating, this conversation will reset how you think about branding, storytelling, and momentum. You'll learn: Story arcs 101 for Instagram and Reels Using AI to cut resistance and spark ideas Finding your “weird” and turning it into a brand lens Where to draw the human vs AI line in your workflow Building consistency without scrolling yourself into comparison Links: Follow Alaina on IG @laina.booth Follow Katelyn on IG: @thekatelynrhoades Try Stanley AI: https://stanley-ig.ai/ and then use code CALLHERCREATOR for $10 OFF!

How often do you feel like you're living your life for everyone else? Always showing up. Always giving. Always putting your own needs last. It's easy to slip into that role without even realizing it — until one day you wake up and realize you're not living as the main character in your own story. In this episode of Sales is NOT a Dirty Word, I'm joined by Jackie Roby, Relationship Mindset Coach and founder of Inspired Journey Consulting, to talk about what it really takes to step into your main character energy. Jackie shares how her MAGIC Methodology helps women of color and allies stop over-giving, drop the hustle culture, and reclaim their sense of self-worth. Here's what you'll hear: ✔ Why so many women fall into the “side character” trap ✔ How hustle culture quietly robs us of joy and identity ✔ The link between generational patterns and burnout ✔ How to start rewriting the story you're living right now If you've been feeling exhausted and drained with no joy or fulfillment to show for it, this episode is for you. Jackie's mission is to help women rewrite their stories and start living unapologetically.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Pull up a spot on the couch, friend—this one's a full-body exhale. Today we're talking self-empowerment, self-acceptance, and what really happens when you water down your truth to stay “likable.” If you've ever dimmed to keep the peace, said “sorry” when you meant “thank you,” or edited your brilliance to fit the room…this is your permission slip to stop. We're normalizing the shrink (nervous system stuff, not character flaws), practicing emotional regulation so your voice lands like truth—not tension—and choosing authenticity over approval, every time. You'll get clean language for boundaries and a grounded journaling moment to reconnect with what you really think, need, and want. Expect a loving nudge, a firm standard, and that hit of Main Character Energy that reminds you who you are. This is personal growth you can feel and self-love you can act on—because confidence isn't a mood; it's a practice.KEY TAKEAWAYS:You do not have to apologize for your power.Shrinking is a nervous system strategy, not your identity.You are not dramatic. You are accurate.Most sorry's are fear in a trench coat.You don't have to ‘sorry' your way out of your own power.Your frequency will be too expensive for some, and that's okay.You are no longer available to silence or censor yourself.We don't shrink, we shine.You are safe to be yourself, so keep creating your own safety.Plus: Emotional regulation makes authenticity land; boundaries protect self-acceptance; journaling reveals the next brave ask; confidence grows by reps, not permission.CHAPTERS:00:00 Embracing Your Power02:37 Recognizing and Honoring Your Truth04:56 Practicing Self-Recognition and Acceptance07:44 Understanding Shrinking and Self-Abandonment09:35 The Cost of Silence and Self-Betrayal11:47 Apologizing and Setting Boundaries13:55 Power Leaks and Reparenting Yourself16:00 Communicating Boundaries with Clarity19:17 The Importance of Self-Respect21:51 Accepting Compliments and Acknowledging Your Worth23:27 Self-Love in Action25:13 Navigating Relationships and Boundaries27:19 The Signal of Shrinking29:04 Choosing Wholeness Over Scarcity31:12 Final Thoughts on Power and Authenticity38:37 Empowerment Through Sharing and ConnectionTHE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP:When life starts pulling you back into people-pleasing, come home to this quick reset. It's your on-the-spot ritual for self-empowerment, authenticity, and nervous-system safety so your confidence isn't negotiable. The Self-Love 2-Step (Your Signature Reset) Step 1 — Self-Recognition: Say out loud: “I honor the woman I am and the power I carry. I do not apologize for being who God made me to be.”Step 2 — Self-Respect in Action: Do the next aligned thing without a disclaimer: send the pitch, keep the price, hold the boundary, accept the compliment with a “thank you.”(Do this today. The self you're becoming will thank you.)
