  • Chronic pain and how to heal

    Today’s episode is one you’ll want to sit with—and maybe even listen to twice. We’re joined by Olivia Caggiano, a radiant soul and walking testimony to the truth that healing is possible. At just 25, she’s already walked a road many don’t even imagine in a lifetime—from sudden, chronic pain that left her bedridden at 16, to a decade-long search for answers, diagnoses, and hope. Her story is raw, layered, and deeply moving. We talk about what it’s like to lose your independence, your identity, and your sense of safety in your own body—and how, through yoga, nervous system regulation, and deep self-work, she found her way back to herself.


    But this isn’t just about pain or illness—it’s about transformation. Olivia breaks open the connection between trauma and chronic illness, the failures of traditional medicine, and how embodiment work gave her life back. We talk about navigating relationships, shedding emotional armor, and the quiet power of having someone simply sit with you in your pain. This one’s for anyone who has ever felt unseen, misdiagnosed, or like their story didn’t matter. Olivia reminds us that we are not broken—and that healing isn’t only possible, it’s our birthright. Get ready to be changed.

  • I was scammed (twice!)

    In this deeply moving and eye-opening episode of A Superwoman Handbook, I sit down with Zoey Michaels—a fierce truth-teller, storyteller, and now author of The Molten Truth—to share her harrowing experience of being scammed not once, but twice. With unflinching honesty, Zoey walks us through how emotional vulnerability, misplaced trust, and clever manipulation opened the door to a year-long emotional and financial nightmare. More than just a cautionary tale, this conversation explores the psychology of scams, the shame many survivors feel, and the power of finding your voice again.


    Zoey doesn’t just recount what happened—she unpacks how it happened and why it matters. She shares practical tools from her book, including questionnaires for those being scammed and for the loved ones trying to help them. She also opens up about healing through storytelling, launching her new podcast The Molten Truth, and why forgiveness—especially of ourselves—is a critical step forward. Whether you or someone you love has experienced emotional manipulation, or you simply want to better understand the red flags, this episode is packed with wisdom, empathy, and hope.

  • Childhood Trauma

    In this powerful and deeply heartfelt episode of A Superwoman Handbook, I sit down with the remarkable Regina Hiremath—a woman whose story is as inspiring as it is raw. Regina shares her courageous journey through layers of childhood trauma, domestic abuse, and emotional battles that followed her into adulthood. From losing her first caretaker at a young age, to enduring instability, abuse, and a decades-long marriage marked by narcissism and manipulation, Regina’s story is a testimony to resilience. With striking honesty, she walks us through what it was like to feel trapped, emotionally stripped, and afraid to ask for help—even as she lived behind the wheel of luxury vehicles and within the walls of a beautiful home.


    But this episode is not just about pain—it’s about power. Regina shares the pivotal moment she hit rock bottom, the steps she took to reclaim her life, and how she built a new path rooted in therapy, self-reflection, and storytelling. She founded Alimony of Life, a divorce blog turned healing hub for survivors, complete with a private support community, resources, and motivational tools. Now a speaker, advocate, and board member of a domestic violence organization, Regina is turning her past into purpose. Her words will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt unseen, unsupported, or unsure of how to start over. If you're searching for proof that healing is possible and joy can return—this is it.

  • How Portugal saved my life

    When I think of the phrase “you can’t make new old friends,” my mind goes straight to Emily Reed. What started as a friendship through her husband Patrick (who’s been like a lifelong life coach to me) quickly turned into one of the most meaningful, soul-nourishing relationships of my life. Emily is the surprise gift that came with the friendship package—and as you’ll hear in this episode, she’s so much more than a plus one. Her journey from North Carolina to Portugal is filled with courage, clarity, and a fierce love for her family. It’s a story that made me laugh, cry, and reimagine what bravery looks like in the quiet, everyday decisions that change our lives forever.


    Emily doesn’t hold back—she never does. With her signature humor and raw honesty, she shares how a dream to live abroad evolved into a life-saving decision rooted in love, advocacy, and listening to her inner knowing. Whether you’ve considered starting over somewhere new, navigating a health crisis, or simply wondered if you’re allowed to want more—Emily’s story is for you. This conversation reminded me that bravery doesn’t always look like bold leaps—it can look like 74-page PowerPoint decks, grocery store victories, and a little girl learning that home can be anywhere her heart is safe. You’re in for a powerful one.

  • Stress is real

    In this deeply moving episode of A Superwoman Handbook, I sat down with Debbie Simmons—a powerhouse of faith, resilience, and vulnerability. A mom of nine, grandma to fifteen, and founder of the nonprofit Anchor Point, Debbie walked us through the sacred detour her heart took in the studio. What started as a planned conversation shifted into a raw and powerful testimony of grief, stress, healing, and the incredible strength it takes to trust God—even when the path is blurred by pain, trauma, or the ache of uncertainty. From infertility and loss to staph infections and shingles, Debbie shares how God continually met her at the intersection of brokenness and breakthrough.


    Debbie’s story is more than inspiring—it’s a wake-up call to pause, reflect, and ask ourselves: Are we surviving… or truly thriving? Her journey reminds us that stress whispers, speaks, and eventually yells through our bodies, and unless we listen, we risk running ourselves empty. Whether you're a mother, a leader, or someone simply trying to hold it all together, this conversation is for you.

From navigating corporate burnout and toxic bosses to curating life-changing reads for ambitious women ready to design a life that actually fits, Vicky’s journey is the ultimate reminder that you don’t have to climb someone else’s ladder to reach your goals—you can build your own.

  • How to find your passion

    This week on A Superwoman Handbook, I sat down with the incredible Klári Ganter—a mom of three, coach, and founder of mompire.eu, who’s helping mothers around the world reclaim their professional identity and step into careers that actually fit their lives. Klári takes us through her deeply personal journey—from climbing the corporate ladder in Hungary to launching her dream pastry shop, and ultimately, letting go of that dream for the sake of something even more powerful: her family. Her story is rich with the kind of wisdom that only comes from real-life pivots, painful sacrifices, and brave decisions that don’t always make sense from the outside—but make all the difference on the inside.


    Klári’s mission is to help women move beyond overwhelm and into intentional action. She breaks down her strategic approach to helping moms navigate career transitions, design sustainable lives, and be the role models they want to be for their kids. Whether it’s scaling back from a leadership role, shifting into entrepreneurship, or simply finding fifteen minutes a day to dream again—Klári shows us it is possible. If you’ve ever felt stuck between your ambition and motherhood, this one’s for you. Visit mompire.eu or join her Facebook group Ambitious Mom Society to start bridging your own gap.

  • Parallel Truths Exist

    In this incredibly raw and liberating episode of A Superwoman’s Handbook, I sit down with the amazing Cari Rickabaugh, and what unfolded during our conversation left me speechless more than once. Cari bravely opens up about her journey through decades of deep trauma, the power of telling her truth publicly, and the beautiful, life-changing wisdom she’s discovered in the tiniest word: “and.” Together, we unpack how embracing the idea that two things can be true at the same time can break the shackles of black-and-white thinking and invite so much more grace, freedom, and possibility into our lives.


    Cari shares how her motto—Do it scared—has carried her through terrifying but transformational moments, from telling her story on stage to literally plunging into icy Lake Michigan! This conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder that you can hold space for your past and your future, your fear and your courage. May this episode plant the seed of “and” in your heart today—and may you feel inspired to water it with compassion for yourself as you grow.

  • When different is healthy

    On this episode of A Superwoman Handbook, we meet Trista—a true modern-day humanitarian whose journey has taken her to 78 countries and some of the world’s most challenging regions. From dreaming of joining the Peace Corps as a Canadian schoolgirl to working with the UN in Angola, Kosovo, Sri Lanka, Yemen, Iraq, and beyond, Trista shares an inspiring story of courage, resilience, and what it means to embrace a life far from “normal.” She opens up about the realities of humanitarian aid work, the toll it can take, and the power of listening to your own truth even when the world tells you to settle down.


    Now back in Canada, Trista has turned her decades of global experience into transformational coaching for women in midlife transitions. She reveals the universal struggle many women face—believing they’re doing life “wrong”—and how her five-part framework helps them rewrite their story, manage their mind, feel intentionally, and build unshakeable self-worth. If you’ve ever felt stuck, different, or ready to choose your own daring adventure, this episode is your permission slip to do exactly that.
