What happens when a woman, already stretched thin by life's demands, gets sick? Too often, she's left to navigate a maze of doctors, insurance companies, and well-meaning advice, alone. But as women's wellness advocate Rebecca Bloom reminds us, we shouldn't have to. In this powerful conversation, Rebecca shares her journey from corporate law to women's health advocacy, inspired by her mother's breast cancer diagnosis. For nearly 30 years, she has guided women through the overwhelming realities of the healthcare system, offering them clarity, strategy, and most importantly, support. Together, Nicola and Rebecca dive into the practical and emotional tools every woman should know when facing a health challenge: Why appointing a personal “Chief of Staff” can be a game-changer for managing care. The importance of reaching out to HR, case managers, and providers before problems arise. How to choose insurance the smart way — starting with your doctors, not the price tag. Why you should never “panic pay” medical bills (and how to catch common errors). How to set boundaries with others and protect your energy during recovery. Finding balance between evidence-based medicine and complementary holistic care. Rebecca's legal expertise and advocacy work shine through as she gives women the confidence to ask for help, take control of their healthcare decisions, and reject the outdated idea that illness must be endured in silence. If you or someone you love is navigating illness, this episode is a must-listen. You'll walk away with tools to advocate for yourself, protect your energy, and build a strong support system around you — because healing should never be a solo journey.

Dr. Shelby Harris' 5 Key Takeaways:Establish a Sleep Schedule: Aim to go to bed and wake up within a consistent 1.5-hour window each day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle.Prepare for Rest: Just as many women embrace evening rituals like skincare, preparing for sleep is a crucial step in combating insomnia. Indulge in a warm bath approximately two hours before your intended bedtime. This allows your body temperature to drop naturally, signaling that it's time to sleep.Mind Your Intake: Be mindful of your consumption of alcohol and caffeine. It's best to avoid them within 3 to 8 hours of bedtime to prevent interference with your sleep quality.Optimize Your Sleep Environment: Transform your bedroom into a sleep sanctuary by keeping it cool, ideally in the mid-60s Fahrenheit, and ensuring it is as dark as possible.Focus on Feeling, Not Just Numbers: If you're tracking your sleep, pay more attention to how rested and functional you feel during the day rather than fixating solely on the data. Remember, the effort to sleep is often counterproductive; allow rest to come naturally.In This Episode: (00:00) Introduction(03:05) Explaining the behavioral sleep medicine specialty(08:16) Insomnia vs. normal sleep disturbances(11:14) Treating female insomnia without medication(27:18) When to prescribe medications and which ones(36:44) Sleep needs across different age groups(49:45) Sleep challenges during pregnancy and postpartum(54:38) Perimenopause: A perfect storm for sleep(1:02:16) Non-negotiables for better sleep habitsRESOURCES:Accuracy of Three Commercial Wearable Devices for Sleep Tracking in Healthy Adults - NIH Study GUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Shelby Harris is a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in White Plains, New York who specializes in behavioral sleep medicine (BSM), working to improve the sleep of everyone from babies through older adults using evidence-based methods.She is also a specialist in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and depression in adolescents and adults.

Have you ever felt almost afraid to set a boundary—especially with someone you love? You're not alone. In this episode, I share the story of a client who jokingly called it “boundary phobia” and how that phrase perfectly captures the fear and discomfort so many of us feel when we try to protect our time, energy, or emotional well-being. We'll talk about: The fears that keep us saying “yes” when we want to say “no” The myths we've been taught about boundaries and relationships Why boundaries are about action as much as they are about words How to set healthy boundaries with yourself first—and why that's the key to holding them with others A short guided reflection to help you identify one internal boundary you can start practicing today If you've been feeling drained, resentful, or guilty about saying no, this episode will help you shift the way you think about boundaries so they feel less like walls and more like doors you control.   References from this episode: Parents Magazine study on accepting unwanted invitations: https://www.parents.com/why-saying-no-is-good-for-your-mental-health-8415963 Stanford Student Affairs research on boundaries strengthening relationships: https://studentaffairs.stanford.edu/how-life-treeting-you-importance-of-boundaries 2020 study on relational boundaries and enforcement: https://self-compassion.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Luchner-and-Snyder-2020-The-Importance-of-Flexible-Relational-Boundaries-.pdf Mental Health Center on boundaries and burnout: https://www.mentalhealthctr.com/boundaries-and-mental-health Dr. Kristin Neff's self-compassion research: https://self-compassion.org/the-three-elements-of-self-compassion-2   Resources Mentioned: Better Than Before Breast Cancer Life Coaching Membership: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/lifecoaching Creating a Life You Love in 168 Hours a Week: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/168-hours-sp   Let's Connect!

Send us a textINTRO TIME! Hey there, badasses! It's been a minute… actually, since July 3rd. Life, family, and business hit me all at once, and I had to hit the brakes. But here's the thing—pausing isn't quitting. It's protecting your energy so you can show up for what matters most.In this episode, I'm opening up about why I pressed pause, what it taught me, and how YOU can give yourself the same permission when life gets chaotic. Whether you're running a service-based business or balancing a million life demands, this conversation will help you see “the pause” as a strategic power move—not a setback.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger addresses the belief that if one generation of women endured suffering in order to succeed, the next generation must too. Some women, consciously or not, believe that hardship is a necessary rite of passage. They gatekeep and end up reinforcing a toxic culture instead of paving the way for women coming up after them to succeed with fewer obstacles. Cindy looks at how to break this cycle, how to redefine the goal as not just enduring the hardships of the system, but to change the system. With this in mind, a future of thriving, not simply surviving, can exist between generations in the workplace.  The fact that some women seem intent on ensuring future generations endure the same suffering they did comes from surviving the continued traumas of toxic workplaces. It's a type of internalized misogyny disguised as high standards, making the bar one of how much abuse can be suffered. Cindy makes the case for dismantling this cycle because it's doing more collective harm than good. We can choose to energize the next generation instead of exhausting them. Resources are not as limited as we've been led to believe. Women can win and be celebrated by each other without anyone losing.    True leadership isn't about exerting power over anyone. Cindy stresses that it's about building something sustainable together. So, how do we break this ingrained cycle and build something better? Cindy offers five ways to start: 1. Choose mentorship over gatekeeping, 2. Redefine what strength looks like, 3. Celebrate collective wins, 4. Push for structural change, and 5. Create new measures of readiness and performance. Cindy asks us to use our survival stories not as weapons, but as reasons to lead differently and mentor generously.   Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Breaking the CycleAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

Kim's Tips For Managing Psoriasis:Topical Treatments: Use steroid creams, either over-the-counter non-fluorinated or prescribed fluorinated steroids for more severe cases. Apply creams and consider saran wrapping affected areas overnight to enhance absorption and effectiveness.Light Therapy: Utilize ultraviolet light therapy. Consider home-based treatments like red light therapy, which may help manage symptoms.Systemic Medications: For more severe cases, consult with a healthcare provider about systemic treatments like biologics or immune suppressive drugs. Complete necessary medical tests before starting immune suppressive medications (e.g., testing for tuberculosis, hepatitis, and chest X-rays).Lifestyle Approaches: Stress can lead to psoriasis breakouts, so finding effective ways to manage it is crucial. Incorporate stress management techniques like yoga or meditation. Make sure to maintain a healthy diet and avoid known personal triggers, which may include certain foods or stressors.Regular Consultation and Monitoring: Regularly see a board-certified dermatologist for ongoing management and adjustments to your treatment plan.

"You have to show up and do the work. There is nothing more satisfying than getting good work done." From helping scale Allscripts when less than 5% of physicians used technology to now serving as Chief Commercial Officer at Transcarent, Laurie McGraw has spent decades transforming healthcare through technology. Her journey spans from being the sole woman in countless boardrooms to becoming a fierce advocate for pulling other women up the leadership ladder. "Early on it was so notable to me in a way that was just frustrating," Laurie recalls about being the only woman in the room. But that frustration transformed into fuel. Today, she's not just occupying C-suite positions—she's using her hard-won confidence to push other women to level-jump, not just climb. The turning point? A mentor who challenged her to take an "undesirable" implementation and support role instead of staying comfortable in product development. "What are you gonna be? Is this your vision for yourself?" her mentor asked. That lateral move became the stepping stone to becoming president of the company. Now at Transcarent, Laurie is focused on making healthcare accessible and affordable—but her mission extends beyond business metrics. With women still representing only 20% of top healthcare leadership positions, she's done being polite about the pace of change. "I'm more aggressive now. It's less about coaching. I'm like, come on, we have to get going on this. Push for that C-suite position. You earned it, you deserve it, you're more than capable." In this special episode of Inspiring Women, host Laurie McGraw turns the mic on herself and reveals: Why the end of DEI initiatives means women must work harder to pull each other forward The cold truth about confidence: "I can trust in myself to get the job done" What she really thinks about women who reach the top and pull the ladder up behind them Why bold leadership—not incremental moves—is what women need in 2025 How to build your "tribe" of truth-tellers, not just cheerleaders The surprising power of taking jobs you don't initially want "We are in a time where bold leadership is required of us. And as women, we are uniquely equipped—empathetic leadership, inclusivity, hearing all the voices in the room. Women are particularly good at this." But Laurie doesn't sugarcoat the challenge. With DEI becoming "a trigger word" and supportive laws being repealed, she's clear about what's needed: "It's up to us. We have to do more to pull the next generations of extraordinarily capable women forward into leadership." For women struggling with confidence, her advice is direct: "Develop your tribe of people who will help you. Not just friends who say 'great job,' but coaches and mentors who can reflect back the cold, hard truth." From a development team leader to healthcare transformation executive, Laurie McGraw's journey proves that showing up and doing hard work isn't enough—women need to claim their space, demand their worth, and most importantly, bring others with them. "We shouldn't be shooting for the next career move. We should be level jumping—two above."

Reduce Sun Exposure: Limit time spent in direct sunlight, especially during peak hours. Use protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.2. Schedule Regular Skin Checks: Schedule routine visits with a dermatologist for comprehensive skin examinations. Self-examine your skin monthly for any new or changing moles or lesions.3. Use Effective Sunscreen: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours when outdoors, and after swimming or sweating.4. Get Genetic Testing Done: If you have a family history of melanoma or other cancers, consider genetic testing to assess your risk. Tests like the MYRIS can identify melanoma-related gene mutations.5. Avoid Tanning Beds: Steer clear of tanning beds, as they significantly increase the risk of developing melanoma and other skin cancers.6.

Divorce can feel like a giant scarlet letter "D"— especially for women taught to equate being a “good wife” with being a good woman. In this episode, we're confronting the shame, embarrassment, and feelings of failure that often follow the end of a marriage. Whether it was your first, second, or third, you'll hear why the idea of a “failed marriage” is a damaging myth, and how to start seeing your past not as a mistake, but as part of your growth.We'll also explore what really causes relationships to break down — beyond betrayal or blame — including the patterns known as the Four Horsemen of Divorce. You'll walk away with insight, not answers, and most importantly, permission to let go of the shame that's not yours to carry. If you've ever asked yourself, “Was I not enough?” — this episode is for you.Curious if the Collective is for you?
