We're often bombarded with messages equating success with rapid achievement and instant gratification. Today we are diving into "slow hope," a sustainable form of hope that doesn't rush outcomes but allows time for healing and growth. Unlike traditional hope tied to quick results, slow hope builds resilience over time.

Many feel hopeless amid life's challenges or cling desperately to change. Slow hope shifts this perspective by embracing patience and gradual progress. It encourages us not only to focus on end goals but also appreciate the journey itself. Slow hope isn't about instant fixes; it’s about steady optimism through small steps toward big goals without burnout or frustration from unmet expectations.

Embracing slow hope transforms how we handle uncertainty—building inner strength against setbacks—and fosters long-term personal growth free from constant stressors demanding quick solutions at every turn in our fast-paced world today!

Let’s break it down…

If I asked you how many tasks you completed or carried today, would you find yourself exhausted by list?

Women often find themselves juggling an invisible yet overwhelming mental load known as “caregiving.” This burden frequently stems from societal expectations that position us as primary caregivers, responsible for managing not only physical tasks, but also emotional and mental duties of not only ourselves but our partners, children, work obligations, at times parent obligations, to name a few. Today, we are deep diving into the concept of this mental load and breaking down its multifaceted impacts and how the ongoing demands take us further away from positive emotions. However, it doesn’t stop there. Often unacknowledged or undervalued by society at large, this work can lead to feelings of isolation and exhaustions. These demands are deeply rooted in traditional gender roles that demand selfless nurturing without adequate support or recognition. The result? Burnout and a disconnection from one's own identity and desires.

We must get into a space of reclaiming ourselves—this episode is the how you probably didn’t know you needed!

Let’s get right to it…

What does it truly mean to be fearless? I sat down with Rhonda Britten, founder of the Fearless Living Institute and a familiar face from her appearances on Oprah. Together, we dive deep into fear—how it shapes us, holds us back, and how we can summon the strength to rise above it. Rhonda reveals how you can reclaim your power, step boldly into the unknown, and embrace fearlessness no matter what story you're carrying.

Rhonda opens up about her defining moment: witnessing the brutal murder of her mother at the hands of her father. That moment ignited her fear, but it also sparked her relentless journey of healing. Now, she’s dedicated her life to helping others transform their darkest days into their greatest triumphs.

And we’re not stopping there. We're handing you practical tools, actionable steps, and the wisdom you need to take charge of your life—right now.

If you've ever felt lost, unsure of how to keep going, or struggled to find courage in your hardest moments, this is your turning point.

It’s time to stop waiting.

Who are you? Are you living in alignment with your true self? These questions are not merely rhetorical; they serve as catalysts for profound personal exploration. When you deny your truths or attempt to live up to others' expectations rather than your own authentic self, you often experience feelings of invisibility and can quickly become disconnection from your life. In this week’s episode, we are taking a deep dive into finding your truth, uncovering it from the wreckage of your hard, past experiences and deciding what you need and want now. If fear has stood in your way, there is something important to understand—this is indicative of your growth—you are ready!

Let’s not waste another second, let’s put a spotlight on your path to self-discovery and empowerment, while we embrace the hard and use fear as a guide.

Today’s conversation may be a hard one for many. It’s estimated that someone dies of suicide every eleven minutes. Today is a very special episode as I sit down with Larry Sprung, the host of the Miltin Money Mindset Podcast as he shares the impact of suicide on his and his families life and how his work since has changed access to tools to help support those in times of desperation. We’ll unpack the warning signs, handing over tools for supporting yourself and loved ones, and talk about actionable advice on how to navigate the darkest moments. Whether you're struggling or want to be a better ally, this episode provides hope, understanding, and the message that you are never alone.  Together, we can build a world where mental health is a priority, and suicide prevention becomes a part of everyday conversation.

If I say the word “Fear,” what comes up for you? Do you immediately try to reject the thoughts that arise? Most people do. I coined the term “fear with a backbone,” some time ago. Yet, it wasn’t until this week that I was granted a massive a-ha moment that brought perspective to my own life and the work I’ve dedicated myself to doing since 2016. This episode is not merely about identifying fear, but more so learning how to use your mindset to transform fear into a powerful catalysts for change across all five master areas of your life: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial. While this is deeply personal, I hope this conversation is as powerful as the moment I received it.

We all know Fight, Flight, and Freeze thanks to increase awareness across social media, but do you know how get yourself out of emotional freeze? It’s a state where fear paralyzes you into inaction. Many of us overthink and exhaust ourselves trying to escape freeze, but it is possible to break free by embracing simple practices instead of pushing harder. Why not push our way into action? Because, it rarely works! Fear often masks itself as uncertainty—fear of failure or even success—which keeps you frozen. Today we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into why we get trapped in 'emotional freeze' and explore actionable strategies to overcome it.

Do you consider yourself a perfectionist? If so, is it you a silent saboteur or is it your secret weapon? Dr. Greg Chasson, the authority on perfectionism and author of “Flawed Why Perfectionism is a Challenge for Management” sit down to unpack perfectionism. It’s often misunderstood as merely striving for excellence; however, it can push us to an healthy ambition into excessive self-expectations. Dr. Chasson explains that these expectations can stem from societal pressures or be projected onto others—creating a vicious cycle of unattainable goals followed by emotional devastation when those goals aren't met. We explore how perfectionism manifests in our lives, from societal pressures to personal expectations, and offer simple tools to help shift the focus.

We’ve all been there—feeling like giving up when life takes us into a dark valley. In those moments, it can seem impossible to see a way out. But here's the truth: these moments don’t have to define us. They are simply passing chapters in the larger story.

The moments we want to give up are often the moments you are being called to facing the hard, making room for grief, and fully shifting into something new. Is that easy? Hell no! But, it is possible. If you are there, this one-on-one deep dive is filled with practical strategies to get you into real change. But, here’s a fair warning: this episode isn’t a sweet pep talk! This is a get out of your own, drop your excuses, and let’s do some damn work! Instead of running from feelings of defeat, it’s time to acknowledge them, stand firm in those emotions, and break free. This is the “how.”

Women’s health care is not the same across the world. In the US and most western countries, women’s health care is readily available, but we do know enough. Are we educated about our bodies and the basic fundamentals of our reproductive health? Mostly, the answer is no. As we spend 2025 leaning into our five masters, we are uncovering natural approaches to women's health. Dr. Monica Minjeur and I sat down to talk menstrual cycles, fertility, permimenopause and menopause, because if you want to empower yourself, you must empower the whole self.

This conversation gets down to the basics of the functions of the female body.

Happy 2025!

It’s time to take action and become your greatest self! That begs the question, how? You need a life plan! In today’s episode, I’m breaking down how to create your much needed life plan with the work you’ve already done—diving into what you want, need, and how you want to feel! We are bringing our four-week journey to a close with this step-by-step plan.

We're in week three of our journey of exploring four key questions for a fulfilling life. We've asked what we want and need; today, we'll explore how we want to feel—a crucial question that goes beyond surface emotions like happiness or joy.

It's easy to say we want to be happy or content, but you must dig deeper. What are the underlying motivations behind these desires? By identifying these core emotions, you can better understand what drives you and what holds you back from achieving them.

As we wind down the year, headed to a new twelve months in 2025, we are starting a 4-week journey together. A journey designed to help you reflect on the most fundamental questions that guide your life. Together, we are diving into a question that seems so deceptive simple yet is so profoundly how for. That question is, What do I want? As we explore this question, we're going to uncover that the answers aren't just about surface level desires or even material goods. It's about uncovering your authentic self, your values, and your visions for the future. And by the end of this conversation, you’ll have practical tools to help you answer that question and help you start aligning your life with the things that matter most to you.

Are you moving through something big right now? You are not alone! However, we often think we are when we move through significant moments. In this space, we struggle to let go of what is no longer serving us because fear and guilt trump our needs and our perceived worthiness to have a grounded, healthy, and happy life.

And thanks to fear, many believe that letting go is impossible, traumatic, or downright impossible. This week we are doing just that through a one-on-one deep dive into the shadow side of healing. We’re entering a space where we consciously create a path for our deepest desires, the self-awareness process, and learning how to let go of people and relationships, heavy emotions and trauma, attachment, and the obstacles that stand in our way.

So, you play a number of roles in your life, all with expectations, from partner, mom, friend, colleague, child, perhaps sibling, and more. With so many roles, your attention and needs are often scattered, which can lead to you living in an internal storm of turmoil.

There is a path out of such feelings and behaviors. I sat down with mom guilt expert Melissa Peduzzi to talk about her method and tools to help mom’s everywhere show up as their best selves and create solid relationships with their children.

What does it mean to be in balance? That’s a question many have been seeking the answer to, and more importantly, the feeling and overall life impact of finding that balance.

While there are many ways to get there, one ancient medicine and lifestyle may hold the secrets and tools you seek.

That’s why I sat with Ayurveda expert and teacher Emilie Berger to chat about balance and how our lives interconnectedness, mindset, body, and harmony are found and created in small, purposeful increments. Emilie’s insights and daily tools can change your relationship with calm.

We live most of our lives in our heads, thinking, calculating, edging our way to the next, and in doing so, we often fail to be mindfully present and live according to our heart and soul connection.

Today, we make an effort to start the journey away from the mind and into a deeper, more soul-driven connection. I sat down with mindfulness and meditation teacher Fleur Chambers to talk about meditation, mindfulness, self-permission, connecting with the self, and what it takes to live in growth.

I sat down to have a riveting conversation with Psychotherapist Brook Bralove, who is a certified sex therapist. Get ready for a conversation that will open your mind as we break down how to have great sex, the female anatomy, the value of bringing tools into the bedroom, and we lean into what it means to be willing to try and how being open to having uncomfortable conversations could lead to a great sex life.
