What if the most powerful version of has yet to emerge?

Today’s inspiring episode is all about purpose, creativity, and breaking free from the limits society places on us.

My incredible guest, Kathleen Cosgrove, is an artist and storyteller who proves that passion and reinvention have no timeline. After a successful career in business, she followed her creative calling and went to art school at 50. Now, she’s created Feeling Our Age, a powerful portrait series featuring 65 women over 60, sharing their stories of resilience, purpose, and the wisdom that comes with truly owning who you are.

In this episode, we dive into:

• How Kathleen turned frustration with ageism into a movement
• The unexpected discoveries she made about women and purpose
• Why storytelling is one of the most radical acts of empowerment
• The importance of community and connection at every stage of life
• How to stop letting fear hold you back from your biggest dreams

Kathleen’s journey is a powerful reminder that the time to pursue your passion is now—whether you’re 30, 50, or beyond. If you’ve been waiting for permission to finally start that thing on your heart, consider this episode your wake-up call.

What if I told you that one small action could create a ripple effect that changes everything?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a simple yet powerful moment that reminded me of the magic of kindness. It all started when I witnessed someone being genuinely helpful, and instead of keeping my thoughts to myself, I decided to tell them.

We often see the good in others but hold back from sharing it. But what if we didn’t? What if we made it a habit to acknowledge the beauty we see in people? The truth is, kindness is contagious—when we give it, we receive it. It lifts the person receiving it, it lifts us, and it lifts everyone who witnesses it.

Tune in as we explore the ripple effect of kindness, why sharing something beautiful with someone is a gift for both of you, and how a simple act of recognition can shift someone’s entire day—or even their life. Because when we choose kindness, everyone wins.

Listen now and start your own kindness ripple today.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The power of witnessing and acknowledging kindness
• Why we should never hold back from telling people what we see in them
• How kindness creates a ripple effect that impacts everyone
• The science behind why it feels so good to be kind
• A simple challenge to start spreading kindness today
• Intentional acts of kindness

• How to turn comparison into expansion instead of self-doubt
• The secret to running your own race without looking sideways
• The mindset shift that will help you feel more alive today
•

What if the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for is just a small shift away?

Sometimes, the spark we’re searching for isn’t in the same routines, the same conversations, or the same spaces we always occupy. In this episode, we’re exploring the power of stepping into the unfamiliar because inspiration is often hiding in places we’ve never been. Whether it’s a new route to work, a different coffee shop, or a fresh way of thinking, the smallest change can open up a whole new world of possibility.

We’ll explore:

• How shifting your daily routine can shift your mindset

• The hidden opportunities waiting in unfamiliar places

• Simple ways to invite more inspiration into your life

Are you living for yourself, or are you still tied to the opinions of others?

In this episode of Empowering Her, we’re diving into one of the biggest barriers to living authentically: caring too much about what others think. From a young age, many of us were conditioned to prioritize perfection and external approval over our own truth. It’s time to challenge that narrative and reclaim our power.

Here’s what we’ll uncover together:

• Why perfectionism is a trauma response and how it keeps us from expanding.
• The societal conditioning that taught us to prioritize others’ opinions over our own desires.
• A personal story about breaking free from the pressure to "color inside the lines" and embracing imperfection.
• Why it’s okay to not be for everyone—and how that truth can liberate you.
• Lessons from Kathy Heller’s journey, including how criticism can reveal your courage and authenticity.
• The importance of dropping the script and living unapologetically for yourself.

This episode is your invitation to stop letting the fear of judgment dictate your choices and start showing up as the fullest version of yourself.

Reminder:

Open enrollment for the GiRLiFE Academy is happening now, but it closes on Sunday, January 26th, at 10 PM EST.

What happens when you trust the universe to meet you halfway?

In today’s inspiring episode of Empowering Her, I had the honor of sitting down with two incredible women from the GiRLiFE community: Shannon Bosse of Made of Stars Studios and Luz Hernandez of Y.E.S. GiRLiFE. Together, we explored the magic that happens when you step into your purpose, embrace the power of community, and take a leap of faith, trusting that the universe will provide everything you need.

This conversation is a testament to the transformative power of believing in yourself, your dreams, and the connections you create along the way. Shannon and Luz share their personal journeys, showing us how courage, intention, and trust can lead to extraordinary outcomes—not just for ourselves but for those we empower in the process.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The role of community in helping us rise and step into our power.
• How trusting the universe and taking aligned action unlocks opportunities.
• The importance of living with purpose and letting your heart guide you.
• Stories of transformation that prove the resources you need will always appear.

Let this conversation remind you that you don’t have to do it all alone. When you surround yourself with supportive, like-minded women and take inspired action, the universe conspires in your favor.

It’s time to take the leap. Will you trust that everything you need is already on its way?
