Fifteenish

In this episode, I share the story of Lori Harder and how her career evolved over time. I walk through her journey from competitive fitness into entrepreneurship, podcasting, live events, and online education, focusing on the transitions between seasons rather than one defining moment. This episode looks at how growth often happens gradually, with chapters overlapping and identities shifting along the way.

As the year winds down and Christmas approaches, I’m sharing a gentle way to reflect on the year you’ve lived and set the next one up without pressure. No resolutions, no hustle. Just a simple fifteen minute reset to help you release what drained you and carry forward what matters.

This episode marks a shift.

If you’ve been listening for a while, you might be wondering what happened to Might Be Something. This episode explains the name change, the mindset behind it, and why Fifteenish feels like a better fit for the season I’m in now.

This episode is about why fifteen minutes matters. Why small, manageable shifts often create more momentum than big all‑or‑nothing plans. And why so many of us get stuck waiting for the “right time” instead of starting where we are. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re always “almost” starting — this episode is for you. Because fifteenish minutes can change everything.

In this episode, I walk through the story of Sophia Amoruso — her early years, the start of Nasty Gal, the fast growth, the pressure that followed, and the chapters that came after. We look at how she began selling vintage online, what those early days actually looked like, the rise and collapse of the company, and how she rebuilt her work and life through Girlboss and Business Class. If you’re curious about her full timeline or you’re in a season of change yourself, this one will land.

In this episode, I’m opening up in a way I never have before. We’re diving into the real money story I grew up with, how it shaped my relationship with finances as a woman, a mom, and an entrepreneur, and what it’s taken to finally break the patterns I inherited. If you’ve ever struggled with money anxiety, childhood money wounds, or figuring out how to build confidence around personal finance, this one is for you.

I share the parts of my story I’ve never said out loud and explore why so many women — especially business owners — were never taught healthy money habits, financial literacy, or how to build real stability. Then we look at Tori Dunlap’s story from Her First $100K, how her early financial education changed everything, and what it means for women who didn’t get that same foundation.

If you’re navigating money mindset work, rewriting old beliefs, healing financial shame, or trying to feel more grounded in your business decisions, this episode will meet you right where you are.

This episode is for anyone trying to plan next year while still recovering from this one, especially if you’re a mom, juggling the holidays, work, kids at home, and that weird feeling of wanting to slow down but also not fall behind.

I’m talking about what this past year looked like for me (spoiler: my word of the year was “calm” and life had other plans), and how I’m using the end of the year to reset without doing the whole “new year, new me” thing. If you’re tired, stretched thin, or just feeling the emotional hangover of the holidays, you’re in good company.

I’ll walk you through how I actually plan my year vision board, how I choose my word of the year, the categories I use to make planning feel doable, and how to start small when you don’t have the energy for a full overhaul. Think of this as an honest check in for anyone who wants next year to feel better, steadier, and more intentional… without pretending motherhood and life aren’t happening at the same time.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of Mari Llewellyn, the founder behind Bloom Nutrition and one of the internet’s most relatable wellness transformations. But instead of focusing on the viral success or the TikTok greens moment, we’re talking about how it really started… with one uncomfortable morning, one tiny decision, and a girl who was tired of her own life. It’s a reminder that the biggest pivots often begin from the smallest, messiest places. And honestly? I think you’ll see parts of yourself in her story.

In this episode, we dive into the story of Kendra Scott, the woman who turned a $500 dream into a billion dollar jewelry brand built on heart, hustle, and resilience. From her early days designing hats for cancer patients to walking boutique floors with a baby on her hip, Kendra’s journey is a reminder that success often starts in the messiest, most uncertain seasons. I’ll share her story, the pivotal moments that shaped her brand, and a few reflections of my own about failure, faith, and building something that actually matters.

Perfect for anyone standing at a crossroads, wondering if they have what it takes to start—or start again.

This week on Might Be Something, we’re talking about Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of Bumble and the youngest woman to ever take a company public. At 24, she walked away from the company she helped build, faced brutal headlines, and could’ve disappeared. Instead, she turned that pain into power, creating an app that flipped the script and changed how women connect online. This episode is about resilience, reputation, and what it really takes to start over when the world’s already watching.

Last week, my husband’s company announced a 1,000 person layoff, and we had five long days of not knowing if he’d be one of them. That waiting cracked something open for me. In this episode, I’m sharing what that week taught me about stability and why I’m done relying on “safe.” If you’ve ever built your peace around something that suddenly didn’t feel so steady, this one will hit home.
