Brand Disruptors Podcast

What if sales didn’t have to feel icky, awkward, or pushy—and instead became the most powerful, aligned part of your business?

In this episode, I sat down with Gwen Tinsley—Sales Strategist for Female Entrepreneurs, founder of Grit & Tenacity Consulting, and a firm believer that authentic connection is your best sales tool.

Together, they unpack:

Gwen doesn’t just teach sales—she leads women to reclaim their value, communicate with confidence, and build businesses that transform lives.

Whether you’re avoiding discovery calls, underpricing your offers, or still hoping your website alone will bring in clients—this is the mindset shift and strategy reset you didn’t know you needed.

Tune in if you’re ready to stop selling like someone else and start connecting like yourself.

Emily Geizer is not your average health coach. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on the outdated wellness narratives that have left so many women feeling confused, burned out, and unsupported.

From her own lifelong struggle with weight to becoming a holistic health coach and soon-to-be massage therapist, Emily shares how real healing happens when we move away from restriction—and instead focus on nourishment, nervous system regulation, and hormonal harmony.

We dive into endocrine disruptors and the small changes that can create a big impact on your health, especially for women in their 40s to 60s. Emily breaks down why the “eat less, move more” advice is not only outdated—it’s harmful. If you’ve ever felt like being healthy means missing out on joy, Emily’s going to flip that story on its head.

You’ll leave this episode feeling empowered with practical, sustainable ways to support your body, without the overwhelm. 

What if your low energy, brain fog, or stubborn weight gain isn’t about willpower but about hormonal overload and nervous system burnout?

The everyday toxins disrupting your hormones (and how to reduce them)

Why traditional dieting is failing women in their 40s–60s

The power of nervous system regulation and metabolic flexibility

In this powerful episode of the Brand Disruptors Podcast, Mia LaMotte is joined by trailblazing Image Consultant and Color Analysis Educator, Yvonne Cano. Together, they unpack how color, confidence, and cultural representation intersect—and why it’s time to disrupt the outdated norms of the fashion and beauty industry.

Whether you’re in fashion, entrepreneurship, or your own self-discovery journey, this conversation is proof that when you don’t see a seat at the table, you build your own.

Together, Mia and Amy dig into what it means to eat well, why frozen foods deserve a second look, and how everyday people can create their own food rules rooted in joy and intention, not shame or restriction.
