    If you have ever felt exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you are constantly pushing yourself to keep up in your business or workplace, this episode will feel like a powerful exhale. In this conversation, Beki sits down with Renae Fieck, Occupational Therapist, cycle alignment mentor and author of Cycle Sync Your Business. Together, they explore why so many women in business (especially OTs transitioning online) struggle with burnout, lack of consistency, emotional highs and lows, and ongoing fatigue. The truth is this: Your hormones are not the issue. Your business model is. Most productivity systems, business strategies, and workplace structures were designed for male hormonal patterns (a consistent 24-hour cycle). Women's bodies function on a 28-day cycle with phases that shift energy, focus, emotional capacity, and creativity. When you learn to work with your cycle instead of against it, your business becomes easier, more spacious, more aligned, and more successful. This episode is perfect for: • Occupational Therapists feeling burnt out or overwhelmed • Female entrepreneurs wanting more ease and sustainability • Women craving success without sacrificing wellbeing • OTs transitioning to online private practice or coaching • Anyone who wants to understand their hormones, energy and workflow more deeply What You'll Learn in This Episode Why women are not meant to work the same every day • How your menstrual cycle influences clarity, focus and motivation • What burnout really means for high-achieving women and OTs in healthcare • How to plan content, launches and business tasks around your cycle • Why rest is not laziness, but a strategic performance tool • How to build a business model that supports your wellbeing and income Connect with Beki Are you ready to leave the whinger mindset behind and embrace your inner go-getter?

When you reclaim your power, align your mindset, and use your money as a tool for purpose, you can begin living the life you love. Starting today! About Scarlett:Scarlett, aka The Biz Hippie, helps coaches master money and own their worth so they can be fully supported by the work they love! Using a combination of tangible money management strategies and a variety of powerful coaching techniques, Scarlett helps her clients transform their mindset and relationship to money and strategically make their vision happen.Scarlett didn't always live life this way. At the age of 18, Scarlett had already begun her professional journey and was managing restaurants and pursuing a degree in Business Management, Accounting, and Finance. Her life was all business all the time, despite having horrible relationships (with both people and money), struggles with depression, head-to-toe eczema, and frequent migraines. It took a cannabis-induced near-death experience to shake her to her core and start a slow crawl from rock bottom.Scarlett swung her pendulum from full business mode to total hippie; becoming a life coach, yoga instructor, and reiki practitioner. It was when a coach friend of hers was struggling with money that she was inspired to bring together her experience, skills, and degree to support her!! This was the genesis of Empowered Abundance, a program that helps coaches and business leaders transition into their next level of abundance with all the tools they need to make conscious and aligned decisions.Scarlett is a certified coach through the World Coach Institute and a Level 2 Enlifted Coach. On a personal level, she is a total hippie and loves spending time barefoot outside, vibing with her family in drum circles, and using plant medicine in the jungle.Website: https://thebizhippie.comFree 30 Minute Connection Call: https://thebizhippie.com/activationLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/scarlett-stanhopeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/scarlett.stanhope/-----If you're struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor, BetterHelp.Visit https://betterhelp.com/candicesnyder for a 10% discount on your first month of therapy.*This is a paid promotionIf you are in the United States and in crisis, or any other person may be in danger -Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Dial 988-----Connect with Candice Snyder!Website: https://www.podpage.com/passion-purpose-and-possibilities-1/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/candicebsnyder?_rdrPassion, Purpose, and Possibilities Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/passionpurposeandpossibilitiescommunity/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passionpurposepossibilities/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/candicesnyder/Shop For A Cause With Gifts That Give Back to Nonprofits: https://thekindnesscause.com/Fall In Love With Artists And Experience Joy And Calm: https://www.youtube.com/@movenartrelaxationClick this link to receive your FREE TRIAL to The Greenhouse Communityhttps://www.thegreenhousecommunity.com/checkout/the-greenhouse-membership?affiliate_code=11e889

    What if the fastest way to grow your career is to reinvent how you work before the market forces you to? In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Caitlin Clark-Zigmond, a two-time entrepreneur and former CMO for Intel's global software and SaaS portfolio, to map the leap from hands-on operator to AI-powered brand builder, and why clear value translation beats clever slogans every time.Caitlin takes us from scaling a catering business to shipping Comcast Digital Voice, to leading massive B2B portfolios at Verizon and Intel. We dig into how Intel Tiber emerged to make software visible inside a hardware giant, uniting trust and security, AI and ML, edge and cloud, performance optimization, and developer workflows under a narrative customers could navigate. The result: sharper messaging, analyst clarity, and real pipeline acceleration. If your portfolio feels like a maze, her brand framework shows you how to draw a clean map.Then we get practical with AI go-to-market. Forget tool-chasing—start with painful use cases, build on clean, connected data, and let AI amplify what already moves the needle. Caitlin explains why a CDP or an MCP layer unlocks CRM, marketing automation, analytics, billing, and customer success, enabling them to communicate effectively with each other. We cover intent data for account prioritization, conversation intelligence for coaching, predictive scoring for pipeline, and agents that handle repetitive data pulls and weekly reporting so teams can focus on thinking, not tab-hopping.For leaders and modern marketers, the upskilling path is clear: achieve 30% fluency in core AI concepts, measurement, and understanding how your stack—HubSpot, Salesforce, GA, CDPs, and chat systems —actually works. You don't need to code; you need to understand revenue mechanics. We also share Caitlin's strategic networking system—the 5–5–5 method—that turns coffee chats into an operating system for your career, with value-first follow-ups that work even for introverts.We conclude with candid insights on the value of progress over perfection, investing in relationships before you need them, and redefining success in terms of client transformation, sustainable growth, and work-life integration.

    Send us a textContent Warning: This episode contains an in-depth discussion about suicide, depression, and grief that may be distressing for some listeners. Please listen with care.Host Lira Ndifon opens this powerful episode with an urgent and heartfelt call for awareness, shedding light on the political violence, military brutality, and internet shutdowns currently happening in her home country of Cameroon.From this space of global empathy, Lira sits down with Alicia Rupin, a first-generation American and successful floral designer, for one of the most personal conversations on the podcast to date. Alicia shares the raw and vulnerable story of the tragedy that reshaped her entire life: the loss of her beloved uncle to suicide. This is a must-listen masterclass in navigating profound grief, especially when it's shrouded in the silence and stigma that often surround suicide in many cultures.Alicia gets radically honest about the "what ifs" and the guilt that haunted her family, and the unique, personal coping mechanisms she used to heal—including keeping her uncle's phone number active for two years just so she could continue to text him. She offers a perspective that will change the way you think about loss, defining grief as "love that just has nowhere to go".This episode is a tender and powerful guide for anyone who has ever felt lost in their grief. You will discover:The Truth About Grief: How to understand your grief as a form of deep love and why you must "ride the wave" instead of running from it.Healing When There Are No Answers: A raw look at the complex emotions that follow a suicide and how to process them without shame.From Pain to Purpose: How Alicia channeled her depression and grief into her floral business, turning her uncle's motto—"It's cool to be kind"—into her brand's identity.Unique Coping Mechanisms: The power of finding your own way to heal, even if it seems unconventional to others (like texting a loved one who has passed).This conversation is a beautiful reminder that you are not alone in your struggle, that healing is not linear, and that our deepest pain can often be the source of our greatest purpose.If this episode touched your heart, please share it with someone who might be navigating their own waves of grief.

    Welcome to the Women Petprenuers Podcast Book Club episode, your hosts Mary Oquendo and Denise Heroux dive into the classic dystopian novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. Together, they reflect on what it's like to read this nearly 100-year-old book as adults, comparing their current insights with memories of high school English class. The discussion touches on the book's heavy themes, its portrayal of society, and how some of Huxley's imagined future eerily parallels our own world today. Both Mary Oquendo and Denise Heroux share their honest struggles with finishing the book, critique the characters and the narrative, and consider its relevance for modern readers. They also chat about the challenges of revisiting old classics and hint at lighter, more humorous reads for upcoming book club sessions. If you've ever battled your way through a dense classic or wondered how dystopian fiction holds up over time, you won't want to miss this thoughtful and relatable conversation!

    Salt, Strength, And Starting AgainWhat happens when a busy mom with a full-time corporate job decides to fuse her faith with fitness and build real community around it? Kelly sits down with Jess, the founder of SALT, a prayer-led movement brand inspired by Luke 14:34 and launched on her fortieth birthday. The conversation charts the surprising chain of connections that brought this vision to life, the decision to prioritize family time without abandoning professional excellence, and the practical tools that make it all workable—think time blocking, a weekly posting cadence, and events that blend scripture, sweat, and shared purpose.We talk about the moment motherhood outran the corporate ladder, and how COVID quietly reshaped priorities. Jess shares why SALT hosts classes in churches and in neutral spaces to unite believers across denominations, and how collaborations with local schools, instructors, and community leaders helped the brand grow organically. The tactics are simple and replicable: a clear social rhythm (Never Miss a Monday, Truth-Filled Tuesday, Salty Wednesday), intentional digital detox on Sundays, and a willingness to keep events accessible so newcomers feel welcome. She also opens up about the discomfort of speaking faith out loud after a more private upbringing, and how that stretch became the source of new courage.You'll leave with ideas you can act on today: how to create boundaries without guilt, involve your kids in your mission, use AI to save time without losing your voice, and build community that actually sustains your goals. If you've ever wondered how to honor your body, deepen your faith, and still meet your responsibilities, this conversation offers a grounded, hopeful path forward.If this resonated, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs a nudge toward purpose, and leave a quick review—your words help more moms and creators find their next brave step.Resources:Hallow AppConnect with Jessica:Website: SALTIG: @sweatandlivetruthContact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: The Hue Drop Newsletter: Subscribe Here IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page CAKES Affiliate Link: KELLYKIRK Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!

Together they explore why so many talented freelancers and solopreneurs fall into the exhausting cycle of undercharging and overdelivering, and what it truly takes to build a business that reflects both your skill and your value.Ilise shares decades of wisdom on how to reframe pricing from a matter of self-worth to one of clear strategy and confident communication. She offers practical advice on having better money conversations, identifying ideal clients, and setting prices that feel fair to both sides. The discussion is packed with insight, from her signature “$500, $5,000, or $50,000” approach to budget talks, to the mindset shifts needed to escape desperation pricing and cultivate lasting client relationships.Amy and Ilise also dig into the art of consistent marketing, emphasizing that real success comes from showing up regularly and authentically. They discuss the power of simplicity, how to market yourself without making it about you, and why even small, steady efforts can transform your business over time. Whether you're a creative struggling to charge what you're worth or a seasoned professional ready to attract higher-value clients, this episode will challenge how you think about money and remind you that confidence, clarity, and communication are your strongest assets.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction & Welcome00:29 – Meet Ilise Benun: Guest Introduction01:22 – Ilise's Background & Podcast01:49 – Episode Overview: Pricing, Mindset, and Marketing02:28 – The “Spooky” Topic: Money03:53 – Why Creative Professionals Undervalue Their Work05:21 – The Power of Mindset in Pricing06:02 – Pricing Problems Need Marketing Solutions07:24 – Attracting the Right Clients & Using AI10:10 – Real-World Pricing Stories11:08 – The Importance of the Money Conversation12:31 – Mindset Shifts for Discussing Budgets13:44 – Avoiding Desperation Pricing15:10 – Transparency and Building Client Partnerships16:16 – Value-Based vs. Hourly Pricing17:32 – Common Marketing Mistakes19:58 – The Simplicity of Effective Marketing21:30 – Raising Rates & Upgrading Clients24:28 – Marketing Yourself vs. Marketing a Product27:30 – Power Round & Final AdviceQuotes:“There's this people-pleasing thing we tend to do, especially as women, and it gets all tied up in our so-called self-worth — which doesn't really belong in business. You have to take yourself out of it and look at your pricing objectively. Like I always say, ‘Like me a little less and pay me a little more.'” - Ilise Benun“Awareness is the key. Listen to that internal voice, notice the tone, and remember — just because you think it doesn't make it true. But if you believe in it long enough, you can think it into being true.” - Amy VaughanKey Takeaways:Pricing isn't about self-worth — it's about strategy.Mindset is built on your inner dialogue.Marketing solves pricing problems.Have the money conversation early.Stop people-pleasing your way into poverty.Price communicates value.

    AI only works at scale when the shiny demo meets the gritty realities of deployment, security, and change management. In episode #146 of the 2B Bolder Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Monica Livingston, AI Platform Lead for the Americas at Red Hat and a former Intel leader, to unpack how open source accelerates real outcomes, and why the “plumbing” behind enterprise AI matters more than most roadmaps admit. Monica shares a clear view of what platforms must do in production: version control, monitoring, governance, policy, and cost discipline, all while staying flexible enough to avoid stack lock-in.We get candid about the two biggest misconceptions leaders hold: AI isn't a black box you plug in once, and the most complex variable is people, not models. Monica explains how to align teams through transparency, psychological safety, and clear KPIs so pilots survive the leap to operations. She also offers practical advice for new managers under pressure, from building trust to making recognition routine, and reflects on mentors who pushed her to trade constant breadth for deep expertise that compounds.For anyone mapping a career in AI, this conversation covers real paths forward, including accessible learning, hands-on projects, and emerging roles that are reshaping the field. We discuss early STEM exposure as a lever for agency, guidance for young women entering the tech field, and the value of calculated risk anchored in personal values such as family and health. Monica also shares her perspective on how to stand out in crowded applicant pools, the power of referrals, and why transformation often occurs on your own time before it becomes a job title.If this resonates, follow and share with a colleague who's building AI for the real world.

    From STEM trailblazer to AI visionary, Dr. Tamara Nall shares her extraordinary journey of perseverance, innovation, and purpose-driven leadership, showing women what it truly means to build with legacy in mind.Growing up in Alabama and Georgia, Dr. Nall's parents instilled a belief that education is the one thing no one can take away. When an Emory University counselor told her that STEM “wasn't for women like her,” she didn't retreat, she rose higher, applying that very night to a dual-degree program with Georgia Tech. She went on to become the first business student to graduate from that demanding program, blending business acumen with computer science — a foundation that would power her future as a global entrepreneur and change-maker.That same determination has guided every step of her journey. From Harvard Business School to earning a doctorate in engineering and leading The Leading Niche, her award-winning systems integration firm serving agencies like the CDC, NIH, and VA. When told she'd lost a government contract for not having a PhD, Dr. Nall didn't internalize rejection; she transformed it into action, completing her doctorate during the pandemic while running her company full-time. Her story is one of relentless learning, courage, and redefining what's possible for women in technology and business.In our conversation, Dr. Nall opens up about scaling sustainably, leading with empathy, and why women-owned businesses must focus not only on passion but profitability. She shares insights on strategic networking, purpose-driven culture, and her bold ventures in AI, from her platform Reli AI to Human AI Nation, where she's exploring the evolving relationship between humans and technology. Through it all, her message is clear: innovation begins when you dare to claim the space others say you don't belong in.This episode is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and responsible leadership.

    Dear boss babe — we need to talk. ... Because no one warns you how chasing funding can quietly drain the very energy you need to build your dream. If you've ever refreshed your inbox waiting for an investor's “yes” or felt your worth tied to a dollar amount, this episode is your reset button. Today I get real about the emotional side of fundraising — the burnout, the rejection loops, and the quiet self-doubt that creeps in between investor calls. I open up about her own journey raising money for Silkenn and how I have learned that capital isn't the only thing worth chasing. You'll hear my powerful framework for protecting your energy while still playing big — what she calls your “Energetic ROI.” Because when the process feels heavy, it's not about giving up; it's about learning to align. This isn't just a fundraising strategy session — it's a reminder that protecting your peace is leadership, and rest is part of the work, too. Key Takeaways: How to spot burnout early when you're in fundraising mode Why your value doesn't fluctuate with the size of the check What it means to measure success by alignment, not approval How to turn rejections into redirection Ericka's go-to mindset practices for staying grounded while pitching
