Harmony Over Hustle

You know that feeling when something stirs deep in your heart, pulling you toward a mission that makes no logical sense, most likely scares and excites you? That undeniable spark that you either follow… or try to ignore? Jess Dahl knows that feeling well.

In this episode, my special guest Jess Dahl shares how she went from dreaming of figure skating and singing as a kid to answering a calling she never saw coming—working with those affected by human trafficking and trauma.

She talks about the raw reality of saying “yes” to the things that light you up and the hard truth of knowing when to walk away, even from something you’ve poured your whole soul into.

We get into the messy, in-between moments—when holding on feels like the brave thing to do, but letting go is what actually frees you. Jess opens up about the times she clung to the belief that if she just loved people more, things would change… and what happened when she finally accepted reality for what it was.

If you’ve ever felt a pull toward something bigger, or maybe you’ve brushed it off as “too much, too wild, too out there,” this conversation is for you. Because once your heart is invested, there’s no denying it—you’re in.

Plus, hear about her upcoming Camino Retreat in Spain, an invitation to walk, reflect, and step deeper into your own calling. Check it out at jessdahl.com & so much more from this incredible woman!

I felt conflicted when it came to making a title for this episode…

The other options: 

1. When Medicine Fails You: Listen to Your Body Instead

2. Gut Check: The Truth About Stress, Health, and Healing on Your Own Terms

Honestly I like all three but I went with the boldest one, because that’s what WE are doing over here

My guest, Jen, found herself unable to be the fun, present mom she wanted to be after decades of struggling with digestive issues.

Her health challenges affected her business, her marriage, and her friendships, leaving her feeling isolated and overlooked by doctors. Then, her body sent her the ultimate wake-up call: broken heart syndrome (also known as Takasubo myocarditis).

🔥 This rock-bottom moment forced her to question conventional medicine, step outside the box, and reclaim her power to heal.

Now, she shares her wisdom so that others don’t have to hit the same level of exhaustion before making a change.

Key Insights from This Episode:

• The deep connection between the gut and the heart in Chinese medicine

• How stress leads to disconnection, survival mode, and physical symptoms

• The hidden cost of burnout for mothers and entrepreneurs

• How creativity and joy help reset the nervous system and reconnect you to passion

• Why relationships and support systems are key to long-term health and success

Jen’s story is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to wait until you’re completely depleted to start healing.

Your body, mind, and business thrive when you listen to your needs and prioritize well-being on your own terms.

Heather started her coaching journey frustrated and stuck, investing in big-name gurus but never seeing the results she hoped for, which led her to question her own abilities.

She encountered "bro marketing" tactics that felt inauthentic and manipulative, reinforcing her belief that there had to be a better way.

Maybe you have been told or believed that it’s a mindset issue, a success issue, a money issue, and you keep circling around and around to ‘fix’ the issue, investing thousands into more coaching programs when all along ...it's an industry problem of selling you on, and teaching, unethical sales strategies. ** more of us are taking personal responsibility in what we can do differently and you can hear more about that here in Ep. 48

There was a pivotal moment that came to Heather, while running her one-woman limo company, when she received a life-changing download:

“Anything that you do that is not coaching is a waste of your gifts and talents.”

It was a sign to say that your path is here, not there, and you’re ready to claim the FUCK out of it by doing it your way. 

So that's what she did!

And even years later, and after confronting deep childhood trauma, Heather continues to make shifts that hold herself and her standard in higher integrity in her sales and marketing, allowing her to trust herself and her business vision more fully.

Do you really have to do it all? And are the things on your plate even bringing you joy?

Marie was stuck in the cycle of doing too much—working 60+ hour weeks, constantly in service to others, while her health and patience crumbled. Like so many women, she hadn’t taken the time to pause, reflect, and say no.

Her grandmother’s wisdom had a twist: “If you want something done, ask a busy person… because they don’t know how to say no.” And that was exactly the sticky situation. Marie was overcommitted, reactive, and cornered into choices that didn’t serve her.

Fast forward to Marie taking her life back into her own hands.

She’s still serving others—because she loves it—but now she’s doing it on her terms:

✨ Sleeping through the night

✨ Dropping weight and lowering her blood pressure

✨ Showing up with clarity and patience

✨ Setting boundaries to prioritize fun—no exceptions.

Marie’s breakthrough moment led her to this realization: “I have to bring this to others.” It was time to challenge the outdated belief that women only care for themselves once they’re completely depleted.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

✨ How Marie found balance in her professional life and now helps other career-driven individuals do the same.

✨ The power of saying no, creating space, and nourishing yourself so you can dream bigger—now and later.

✨ How you can prepare for a fulfilling retirement while fully living today.

In this unfiltered conversation with Danielle Venables and Sammie Loos, we break down the burnout and buyer fatigue impacting many coaches today. We explore the liberating power of hitting reset and choosing a more authentic path—one that leaves behind the urge to "save" clients and instead values genuine progress.

We tend to the following question: Is the pressure to keep up a polished facade in the coaching industry causing more harm than good?

As authenticity gains traction in personal branding and business, we dig into the challenges of staying true to oneself amid trend-driven noise. Sharing personal stories and reflecting on the struggle with selective authenticity, we highlight the courage it takes to pivot from perfectionism to self-acceptance.

You’ll hear us speak on how ego and fear shape business personas and discuss our hopes for a future that celebrates true self-expression and meaningful connections.

Our conversation turns to the heart of coaching, championing authenticity over competition and fear-based marketing. We explore the ethics of coaching, focusing on empowering clients to find their own paths rather than relying on prescribed solutions.

With an emphasis on honest, direct client relationships, we examine the dangers of dependency on coaching programs and advocate for self-discovery and sustainable growth. Join us in rethinking the role of coaches as supportive guides, pushing for an industry shift toward trust, responsibility, and true, authentic power.
