GLP-1s have been called everything from miracle drugs to dangerous shortcuts. Becca McCarthy is here to set the record straight. This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sit down with the co-founder of Evolv, a biotech-driven supplement brand that mimics the effects of GLP-1s without requiring a prescription. With a background in health and fitness, Becca saw a gap in the wellness market for those who didn't qualify for pharmaceutical weight loss but still needed support. She discusses how Evolv was built using molecular biology and AI modeling, and why this product has been transforming how women relate to food, weight, and energy.

What if your family's values could help you feel calmer, more connected, and less overwhelmed—especially when life feels chaotic? This week, I'm joined by Adriane Thompson, certified parenting coach and founder of Raising Kids with Purpose. Adriane helps parents understand the why behind their child's behavior and build a home culture rooted in connection. As a mom of three neurodivergent boys, Adriane knows firsthand how challenging it can be to stay grounded when emotions run high. She shares how defining her family's values—like safety and kindness—became an anchor point during meltdowns, transitions, and everyday stress. In this episode, Adriane walks us through:

Motherhood and partnership don't come with a handbook -- but they sure do come with expectations. In this episode, we dive into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes maddening dynamics of parenting, partnership, and power. From the invisible labor of “default parenting” to the subtle ways we martyr ourselves in relationships, we get real about what it takes to stay connected, stand up for your value, and model something better for your kids. Whether you're in the thick of raising little ones or reflecting on the long game of love, this conversation is your reminder that empowerment starts at home -- with honest talks, equal partnership, and choosing not to lose yourself in the process.   Some key takeaways from this episode include: No one can make you a martyr without your consent! Value yourself enough to say no. Equal partnerships aren't about who makes more money; they're about mutual respect and empowerment. Your kids don't remember what you say, they remember what you model. Choose wisely.  

Today I want to talk to you about the power of your example. Humans, and especially children, are observational learners. Children learn how to speak to each other, treat others, show affection (or not), forgive (or not) by watching us and by watching how we lead our children. They learn what values and morals to hold by noticing what is and isn't important to us. They learn how to love God by watching us – not by doing religion from a book everyday. Children learn far more from watching what we do than from what we say. Your example is your most powerful parenting tool.Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

Have you ever felt like you're carrying the invisible weight of motherhood, trying to do it all, yet somehow still feeling like it's never enough? In this episode, Whitney chats with artist and comic creator Mary Catherine Starr, whose funny and painfully relatable illustrations capture exactly what so many moms experience but hardly ever say out loud.   Mary Catherine shares how she started drawing comics as a way to cope with the chaos and exhaustion of early motherhood, and how it grew into a community of women who felt like they could relate to her work. She and Whitney talk about the mental load moms carry, the unrealistic expectation that moms should do it all and the truth about mom guilt.   This conversation is a reminder that you're not alone in feeling overwhelmed or unseen. Tune in to feel seen, inspired, and ready to create more space for joy in your daily life.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: How Mary Catherine got into creating comics for moms Why domestic work still falls mostly on women's shoulders The “we can do it all” method Why mom guilt impacts moms but not dads in the same way What Mary Catherine wishes she could've unlearned sooner in her motherhood journey   Reflection question to ponder: What part of this do I enjoy?

The Spectator's cover story this week looks at ‘the fear' gripping Jewish people amidst rising antisemitism. Reflecting on last week's attack in Manchester, Douglas Murray says that ‘no-one in the Jewish community was surprised' – a damning inditement on Britain today. How do we tackle religious intolerance? And is there room for nuance in the debate about Israel and Palestine? Host Lara Prendergast is joined by the Spectator's US editor Freddy Gray, associate editor – and host of our religious affairs podcast Holy Smoke – Damian Thompson and commissioning editor Mary Wakefield. As well as the cover, they discuss: how biological innovations are threatening motherhood; the views of the new – and first female – Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally; and how New York has ended up with (almost certainly) an incoming socialist mayor in Zohran Mamdani. Plus: the panel mourn the novelist Jilly Cooper, and Damian reveals how he ended up with a driving conviction – despite having never passed his driving test.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.The Spectator is trialling new formats for this podcast, and we would very much welcome feedback via this email address: podcast@spectator.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Therapist and author Dr. Zoe Shaw joins me to unpack complex shame and share what it really takes to heal, reclaim your worth, and show up fully as yourself.Therapist and author Dr. Zoe Shaw introduces the concept of complex shame—a deeper, more persistent form of shame that can't be erased with outside compassion alone.Dr. Zoe opens up about her own story of teenage pregnancy, being sent away to a maternity home, and the years of overachievement she used to mask her pain.

Today, we have a bonus episode with the incredible Chelsea Hirschhorn, founder of Frida, the brand behind FridaBaby, FridaMum, and soon-to-launch FridaFertility in the UK. Chelsea is not only the driving force behind an innovative business, she's also a fierce advocate for parents, especially mothers. Frida has broken barriers with campaigns that have made history. From airing the first-ever ad showing a lactating woman at the Golden Globes (after years of those stories being silenced), to the first Sports Illustrated cover featuring a woman proudly showing her C-section scar – something never done in the magazine's 58-year history. Chelsea shares the unbelievable behind-the-scenes of these groundbreaking moments in our conversation. She was also in London for the unveiling of the world's first postpartum statue – created to shine a light on the reality of motherhood in a world where fewer than 4% of statues represent women, and almost none acknowledge mothers. If you're in London (or visiting), I urge you to go and see it – it will give you all the feels. [Link to statue details] This episode will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and uplifted. Chelsea is refreshingly honest about the truths of building a brand while raising four children, and she shares so many powerful lessons and practical insights for parents navigating life and work. In a world where beauty is often curated, airbrushed, and sanitised, one universal truth remains hidden in plain sight: the raw, unvarnished experience of childbirth and motherhood.  Frida, the brand that has rewritten the language of parenthood under the direction of founder and CEO Chelsea Hirschhorn, now unveils Mother Vérité —  the first monument to raise mothers onto the pedestal they deserve.

In this raw and soul-stirring episode of Surviving Roots, Cari Fund sits down with Michelle Garside—co-founder of Soul Camp Creative, a sacred strategy house helping purpose-driven people and organizations tell their most authentic stories. Michelle has spent her career creating transformative spaces like Soul Camp, The Enchantment Experience, and The Connecticut Women's Club.

Together, Cari and Michelle dive deep into the loneliness that hides beneath high achievement, the spiritual disconnection that fuels addiction, and the messy, beautiful process of coming home to yourself. Michelle opens up about her recovery from bulimia, addiction, and alcoholism—and how shame became the doorway to her power. She shares the story behind her upcoming 2027 book, Not Awakened, which challenges the illusion of “perfect enlightenment” and invites us to embrace our full, human messiness instead. ✨ Inside the episode: The loneliness that success can't fill Motherhood as a spiritual practice of imperfection Recovery and radical truth-telling The healing power of community and belonging “God comes through guys”—how love can become a mirror for awakening The anti-guru message behind Not Awakened

Welcome back to Happy & Healthy! I didn't post an episode two weeks ago, and when I asked y'all what you wanted, so many of you just said “we wanna hear what's going on in your life!” So here it is!I cover a lot in this one — from feeling like I'm in a wilderness season, to navigating postpartum life, finding a church in Oklahoma, and struggling to hear God's voice — this episode is in a real way, my heart poured out. If you've ever felt lonely, confused about where God is leading, or just overwhelmed by change, I hope my vulnerability encourages you wherever you're at today.

I am SO excited to share this interview with Ash K. Holm, one of the most sought-after makeup artists in the world. You've seen her work on all the icons like Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, and countless red carpets, but behind the glam is a story of grit, artistry, and reinvention. We talk about her first big celebrity gigs, finding her signature style, the business of beauty, balancing artistry with entrepreneurship, launching her own education platform, and the mindset shifts that helped her transform from working behind the chair to building a global brand. And of course, we get into all her tricks and tools of the trade - her favorite products, the makeup hacks that work the best, the mistakes to avoid, and a ton more!

“With always wanting to do the right things, take care of people, and people please, this set me up perfectly to be an all-in member. Doing the formula. Hustling! I was married in the temple to a returned missionary, had 4 children, and did everything I could to be a good, righteous LDS woman,” explains Lindsie Cornia. Those lines might be the beginning of a million stories in our church, but if there's one thing to be learned from ALSSI, it's that every woman's path is unique and evolving. So what happened next? In Episode 238, Susan and Cynthia have a conversation with Lindsie about all of it: where she started, where she's been, how it's going, what she knows—or doesn't—and how she looks at things now.

They also dive into the practice of saying “no” with integrity, the nuances of feminine leadership, and the beauty of cultivating presence in everyday life.This episode is an invitation to soften, to slow down, and to trust that your deepest impact often comes from the unseen — from who you are, not just what you do.Themes:Redefining success from external achievement to inner fulfillmentEmbodying both feminine and masculine energies in leadership and lifeNavigating identity shifts through pregnancy and motherhoodHonoring capacity and learning the art of saying “no”The power of presence, softness, and stillness as spiritual practiceBuilding conscious partnership rooted in shared values and self-inquiryTrusting your evolution and honoring each season of womanhoodConnect with Amy:

Have you ever felt like motherhood is one long balancing act—caught between trying to do it all and letting it all go? One minute the world tells us to chase Pinterest perfection, and the next, it applauds chaos culture and “Hot Mess Mombie” pride. But both extremes leave us weary, guilt-ridden, and longing for something more sustainable. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with Jamie Erickson about her new book, Overwhelmed Mom. Jamie offers a breath of grace for the woman who’s tired of running on empty. Through biblical wisdom and practical tools, she helps us push back against the weariness epidemic that so often defines motherhood—and invites us to find peace, purpose, and presence right where we are. Jamie reminds us that reshaping a harried life isn’t about hustling harder or giving up completely—it’s about heart work, not just hard work. It’s learning to edit our lives with intention, create rhythms that bring rest, and rediscover the joy of the calling God has given us as mothers. If you’ve been feeling burdened by your to-do list or buried under expectations (your own or everyone else’s), this conversation is for you. You don’t have to live overwhelmed—you can live overcome through Christ. And as always, you can find more encouragement and resources to help you live out your faith and love others well at rachaelkadams.com.

Hey Mama,  Motherhood can feel impossible at times. Our children do things that we don't understand. They can light a fire of fury inside us, that we later feel guilty for. We get stuck on what we expect motherhood to be, to look like, and to feel like. Unfortunately it's not all lullaby's and snuggles. And while the little years are full of what feels like chaos, there is a stark realization as they grow just how much we do not have control. So how do we make it? How do we survive the feelings of failure as a mom, guilt for getting it wrong, and the hopelessness of dealing with a strong willed child?  Join me today to learn about  the one mom hack to feel confident in motherhood, no matter your circumstances.  For His Glory, Christen   I would love to hear from you!  >>Leave a Review >>Connect with me:   Sign Up for Manage In The Moment Coaching Call: https://bit.ly/ManageStressInTheMoment   Email me : naturalwellnessforbusymoms@gmail.com  Sign Up to Become an Insider: https://bit.ly/naturalwellnessinsider  Join Our FREE Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1789472588229094  >>Find Related Products Here: https://bit.ly/m/Natural-Wellness-for-Busy-Moms  >> These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

This week, Gare and I got to talk with Jennifer Fawcett about her serial killer thriller Keep This For Me! We dive into her inspiration for the story, how she was drawn to writing about the aftermath of a serial killer's actions, and how grief and trauma effect families for generations.Keep This For Me SynopsisOne hot August night in 1993, a young couple go to a party. When their car breaks down, they are picked up by a truck driver who attacks the man and abducts the woman. She is never seen again.That woman was Fiona Green's mother.When the trucker, Eddie Ward, is caught, a mass grave of bodies is discovered in his backyard but Fiona's mother isn't there. Thirty years later, on his prison deathbed, Ward insists that he didn't kill her, so Fiona finds herself back in the small town where her mother disappeared. Fighting demons of her own, she's shocked when history repeats itself: another woman, another roadside breakdown, and another disappearance. Only this time the primary suspect is Jason Ward, Eddie's son. Desperate, Fiona hunts down answers, unaware that she is being drawn into a dangerous trap.With Jennifer Fawcett's signature “suspenseful and immersive” (Library Journal) prose, Keep This for Me is a fresh, spellbinding exploration of what we unwillingly inherit from our parents and how one random act can send ripples years into the future.
