When I say Chrissy Grigoropoulos is a powerhouse, I mean it. This woman is an attorney, real estate broker, CEO of multiple businesses, and now a published author. I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Chrissy on the Empowered and Unapologetic podcast, and y’all—I left that conversation fired up. Chrissy doesn’t just drop gems, she drops truth bombs.

She’s completely self-made, hustling her way from immigrant roots to the top of the professional food chain. Chrissy graduated high school at 16, college at 19, and law school by 25. Did she miss out on parties? Yup. Did she gain a thriving law firm and an empire? Hell yes.

“There’s no magic wand,” she said. “I wish.”

Chrissy’s success is no accident. It’s grit, late nights, sacrifice, and saying no to the distractions that so many of us cave into. She’s also very real about the struggle. From skipping parties to choosing her career over dating, Chrissy is honest about the cost of ambition—and she’s unapologetic about it.

“You’ll always find an excuse if you need one as to why you're not succeeding.” —Chrissy Grigoropoulos

We get it. You're juggling work, family, that never-ending pile of laundry, and maybe—just maybe—trying to squeeze in a self-care moment (that usually gets sacrificed for something "more important"). But here’s the deal: If you keep running yourself into the ground, you won’t be able to keep up with the life you’re working so hard to build.

Dr. Lahana Vigliano, a functional medicine expert, is here to shake things up and tell us the truth about what our bodies have been screaming at us. From gut health to stress, metabolism, and why your kids are watching your every move, she breaks down exactly why taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s a necessity.

Your health isn’t just about living longer—it’s about living better. If you’re constantly running on fumes, ignoring symptoms, and putting everyone else first, you’re not just making it harder for yourself—you’re setting the stage for long-term health problems.

It’s time to reframe self-care. It’s not indulgent, and it’s not selfish—it’s essential.

So, take a breath, check your plate, and schedule something fun. Your future self (and your family) will thank you for it.

You know the drill. We dominate in business, handle our families like pros, and keep our calendars stacked, but when it comes to taking care of ourselves? Ha. That gets put on the back burner faster than our untouched gym memberships.

Somehow—our health and weight always seem to be the thing that eludes us. If that sounds like you, then buckle up, because today we’re diving deep into why this happens and what we can do about it with the help of Angelica Ventrice, a seven-figure high-performance health and business mentor and the founder of The Aligned Method.

Let’s get real about why we struggle, what’s keeping us stuck, and the steps we need to take to finally feel as powerful in our bodies as we do in every other aspect of our lives.

Ever feel like you’re in a constant tug-of-war between your career ambitions and your family’s needs? The guilt, the imposter syndrome, the never-ending to-do list—it’s a lot. But today, we’re diving into the real talk with Rashel Hariri, founder of She’s Interesting and a marketing consultant who’s worked with powerhouse brands like McDonald’s and Shopify. Her journey from corporate to entrepreneurship is full of lessons on confidence, self-worth, and defining success on your own terms.

Rashel spent over a decade climbing the corporate ladder, believing that stability and security were the ultimate goals. But something wasn’t sitting right.

“I was climbing a ladder that I eventually realized wasn’t even leaning against the right wall.”

As a woman of color in corporate meetings, she saw firsthand how her ideas were sometimes ignored—until they were repeated by a male colleague. Frustration fueled her ambition to build something on her own terms, and the COVID-19 pandemic provided the clarity she needed to take the leap.

"I was so tired of putting on ‘corporate Rashel’ every day. I wanted to be myself, fully and unapologetically.”

She quit her job and started her consulting business, building a six-figure income from scratch. But stepping away from corporate security wasn’t easy.

If you’ve ever felt like a fraud despite your accomplishments, you’re not alone. Imposter syndrome sneaks in at every level, making you question whether you really belong.

“No one in the room, from me to the CEO, actually knows what they’re doing. We’re all just figuring it out.”

Rashel had to unlearn the belief that she had to be perfect before taking action. Instead, she embraced the mindset of constant learning and growth. Her advice? Challenge the voice in your head that says you’re not good enough. Confidence doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from showing up, learning, and adapting.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been guilty of this: stacking your calendar like you have 48 hours in a day and then telling yourself, “I’ve got this.” Yeah, me too. And Kasey? Oh, she lived it.

If you’re a high-achieving woman juggling a career, a side hustle, family, and about a million other responsibilities, this episode is for you. I sat down with Kasey D’Amato—business advisor, executive life coach, serial entrepreneur, and all-around powerhouse. She built a global skincare brand, a multi-seven-figure real estate portfolio, and a thriving coaching business, all while balancing a fulfilling personal life. But don’t be fooled—it wasn’t always smooth sailing.

"I was sleeping four hours a night, arguing with my husband, barely seeing my family,” Kasey shared. “Meanwhile, everyone thought I was thriving because from the outside, it all looked perfect."

The breaking point? A doctor telling her she might have a heart attack before 36.

"Success cannot mean burning out, destroying your mental health, and waking up dreading the day. That’s not success.”

In this episode, Kasey gets real about the illusion of success, hitting rock bottom, and how high-achieving women can build a business and a life they actually love.

Ah, Valentine’s Day. The day of love, heart-shaped chocolates, and—if we’re being honest—yet another reminder that you and your husband might feel more like co-workers than lovers. Sound familiar? If your business is getting all your energy, validation, and passion, while your marriage is running on fumes, then girl, we need to talk. The reality is, work gives you instant validation, while home feels like an endless list of expectations, leading to resentment on both sides. You start feeling unseen, and he starts feeling like he’s competing with your career. But here’s the truth—you fight for success in your business, so why not fight for your marriage too? Start acknowledging what he does, retrain your brain to see the good, and make space for him in your world the way you do for your work. Your career can’t love you back, but a strong, connected marriage can. Let’s do the work—together. Click here to download some of my favorite free resources. 

When it comes to making money, most high-achieving women believe they have to grind, sacrifice, and push themselves to the limit. But what if that mindset is actually keeping them stuck? In this powerful conversation, I sat down with wealth and mindset coach, Shamina Taylor, who went from being an attorney to building a million-dollar business in just one year. Her secret? Shifting from hustle mode to an energy of ease and wealth consciousness. Get ready, because this is about to change the way you think about money, business, and success.

Most women believe they have to be doing all the time to succeed. But Shamina teaches the opposite: the secret to success is learning how to be first. Hustling, overworking, and over-controlling everything is a trauma response, not a strategy for long-term wealth.

Here’s how to break free from hustle mode:

1. Embrace Stillness: Meditation, journaling, and slowing down allows you to access intuition and clarity. “Being busy is often just a way to avoid sitting with ourselves.”
2. Stop Measuring Success in Numbers: If your sense of worth is tied to how much money you make or how many clients you have, you’ll never feel like you have enough. Instead, ask yourself: How do I want to feel?
3. Shift from Hustle to Receiving: Many women struggle with receiving help, support, and even money. Learn to trust your team, delegate, and let go of micromanaging everything.
4. Reprogram Your Money Beliefs: Do you think making money is hard? That rich people are bad? That you have to earn every dollar through struggle? Challenge those beliefs and rewrite the narrative.

“Women have been conditioned to believe that success has to be hard. But suffering is not the way.” – Shamina Taylor

Imagine being asked to sit in silence for one hour. No phone, no distractions, no multitasking—just you and your thoughts. Does the thought make you uncomfortable? Maybe you’d negotiate, cheat with a quick phone check, or feel like the assignment is a waste of time. But what’s really going on beneath that discomfort?

The truth is, silence often brings up guilt, shame, or fear. You might feel guilty thinking of the “shoulds”—“I should be folding laundry,” “I should be finishing work.” Or maybe silence forces you to confront fears like, What if I realize I’m not happy? What if I don’t even know who I am anymore? As Veronica Cisneros says, “Sitting in silence isn’t unbearable because you’re busy; it’s unbearable because you’re running from the truth.”

This discomfort has roots in the stories we’ve internalized. Many women were raised to equate self-sacrifice with love and worthiness. You might have been taught that rest is something to be earned, that putting yourself first is selfish. But who decided that your happiness, your rest, and your needs were negotiable? Breaking this cycle requires a hard look at where these beliefs came from—and challenging them.

The danger of waiting to seek help is real. Resentment grows, emotional distance widens, and couples drift into living parallel lives. Left unchecked, this cycle can lead to infidelity, loneliness, and eventual divorce. The truth is, healing doesn’t have to wait for him to step up. Change starts with you.

One woman in my Empower X program shared, “I realized I needed to work on how I expressed my feelings without blowing up or shutting down.” This kind of personal growth doesn’t just help you—it shifts the energy of your entire relationship.

“Resentment grows, connection fades, and before you know it, you’re living parallel lives.”

Through Empower X, I help high-achieving women tackle the invisible load, set boundaries, and rebuild trust and intimacy, whether or not their partner joins in therapy. This isn’t just about saving marriages; it’s about reclaiming your sense of self and designing a life you love.
