Well, a few weeks ago I sat through what I thought was going to be a promising "training" and all it ended up being was 2 hours of my life that I never got back.

I'm sick of people wasting their time with these kind of webinars so I thought I'd share the 3 red flags of a webinar so you can avoid wasting your life away like I did last Tuesday night.

Do you agree with my red flags? Do you have more? Then join the discussion over at my community, Do What You Want.

Need help with your rebrand? Or have you lost your voice to AI and are ready to get it back? Then let's talk.

This is the episode where it all begins (again). I'm sharing the story behind a vision I had about a year ago — one that sent me on a wild 60-day challenge — and why I believe that little nagging voice in your head deserves your full attention.

What's in this episode:

• Why I almost didn't restart this podcast (and what finally pushed me to do it anyway)
• The vision I had sitting in my car after a referral group meeting — and how I decided to actually follow it and make it come true 1 year later
• The book that gave me the little nudge in the right direction

"Everyone thought I was crazy for walking away. But for the first time in my life, I wasn't abandoning myself."

Oooh... powerful words!

Do you ever feel like you're abandoning yourself so you can just... survive?

Maybe you're barely surviving because you're not ABLE to truly be yourself. And if you could follow the path that is meant for you, it will help you break free.

That's what this week's episode is all about, where Karina Pontiles shares her R.I.S.E. method with us and how playing the rules and doing what we *think* we should be doing... is really holding us back.

We talk about:

• The hidden cost of doing what you’re “supposed to do”
• What Karina had to unlearn to actually feel free
• Why success without alignment will always feel empty
• Her R.I.S.E.™ Method and how to rewire subconscious patterns
• How to break out of survival mode and reclaim your truth

If you've been secretly craving a full-blown life and business reset, this episode may just give you permission to choose what's true to you... not what's expected of you from others.

Sometimes, it's hard to know if fear is actually protecting you... or keeping you small.

In this episode, I sit down with Jenn T. Peterson, an Equus coach, Shamanic Reiki Master, and former award-winning marketer who uses horses with her clients to help mirror their truth in ways that most humans can't.

We talk about:

• How to decode false fear vs. real fear (and why you get stuck in the fake kind)
• What a horse can tell you about your marketing plan (yes, really)
• Why your body already knows what your brain is resisting
• What it means to run a soul-aligned business
• How Jen's method helps women shift from selling with pressure to selling with purpose

If you've ever felt like marketing is icky or selling doesn't feel good... this conversation will completely reframe how you think about visibility, confidence, and running a business that feels like you.

What happens when you go from CEO of an ed-tech company to a stay-at-home mom to launching a business that helps teachers leave the classroom? Lisa Harding joins Rachael to talk about her unexpected leap into entrepreneurship—and how she went from supporting teachers inside the system to empowering them to find freedom outside of it.

In this conversation, Lisa shares how she overcame the fear of judgment, the ethical questions she wrestled with, and why she felt morally obligated to help teachers transition out of the classroom with support, strategy, and a whole lot of heart.

We also dive into:

• What sparked Lisa’s career shift (hint: it wasn’t about being her own boss—at first)
  
  
• The imposter syndrome she faced, even after leading a company as CEO
  
  
• Why teachers make incredible employees and entrepreneurs
  
  
• The surprising power of supportive community during any big life transition
  
  
• Her advice for teachers who are scared to make the jump—or unsure if they even should
  
  

Whether you’re a burned-out teacher, a quiet entrepreneur, or someone wondering what else is out there—this one’s for you.

In this episode of Do What You Want, we explore life, death, and everything in between with certified death doula Jill McClennen, host of the Seeing Death Clearly podcast. We talk about:

• Why preparing for death doesn’t make it arrive sooner—and how that superstition can create chaos later on.
• Jill’s powerful “aha moment” that led her from bakery owner to death doula after caring for her grandmother.
• What it’s like to start a business in a niche most people avoid thinking about—and how she makes it approachable
• Her experience supporting a client through New Jersey’s Medical Aid in Dying law and why language matters.
• The unseen chaos families face when there’s no plan: healthcare proxies, passwords, and last wishes left unspoken.
• How facing death has changed the way Jill lives—more present, more grateful, and more intentional.
• The balance between following a soul-calling and making a sustainable living—and why choosing stability doesn’t mean failure.

When Meg Kendall had a five-day-old baby and a job she dreaded, she knew something had to change.

Fast-forward to today: she's co-founder of a thriving climate tech agency, building her dream business while raising a family—and challenging the way we talk about sustainability.

In this episode, we talk about finding your niche, navigating imposter syndrome, and how one "random" coffee chat changed the trajectory of Meg's business 6 months later.

Plus: what greenwashing really is, and why some companies are now afraid to talk about their climate wins. A must-listen for entrepreneurs, creatives, and anyone who wants to build a business that actually feels good.

What do you do when you've been fired from over half your jobs—and you're tired of pretending to be someone you’re not?

You reinvent yourself. Again. And again. And again! Until it clicks.

In this episode of the Do What You Want podcast, I sit down with Kat Fleming, a multi-hyphenate entrepreneur whose journey from retail jobs and Hollywood screenwriting to healing, wellness, and coaching is nothing short of inspiring. Kat shares how her marathon injury became a turning point for her physical and emotional healing—and how she’s now helping other wellness practitioners set better boundaries, avoid burnout, and build sustainable, soul-aligned businesses.

Whether you’re a creative, coach, healer, or just someone who’s done with the “shoulds,” this episode is a powerful reminder that your path doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but you.
