In this episode of Heels, Handbags & Hustle, I sit down with René Banglesdorf—an incredible aviation executive, author, and mom—to talk about her amazing journey from a shy, reserved girl to a confident leader in the private jet industry.

René opens up about overcoming shame, discovering her true identity, and how embracing authenticity changed everything for her. We dive deep into the power of setting boundaries, learning through failure, and navigating the spiritual battles we all face. René also shares about her writing journey and the inspiration behind her book Battleground. (Get the Book HERE )

Our conversation is packed with encouragement and practical wisdom for anyone who feels stuck, broken, or unsure about their next step. Rene has spoken so much into my own life and every time I'm in her presence, I'm in awe of her fiery boldness! I hope this episode inspires you to reflect on your own journey and gives you the courage to soar in your calling.

I can’t wait for you to hear René’s story—it’s one of transformation, faith, and discovering what it means to truly take flight in life.

In this episode, I sit down with one of the most deeply rooted and inspiring women I’ve ever met, Amy Wine. She opens up about her powerful journey of healing from childhood trauma and how that path led her to become a therapist. Despite everything she’s been through, she found a deep sense of purpose in helping others walk through their own traumas. Amy has this incredible ability to stay calm in the most intense situations—something she credits to her past and the lessons she’s learned in handling high-stress moments. She even shares this harrowing story of a client pulling a gun on her, and how she managed to stay calm and centered through it all. Her story is a beautiful testament to the power of healing and how God can truly redeem our past to help others.

We also dive into the importance of building bridges—connecting with others and filling the gaps in their lives—and how Amy’s own experiences shaped her view on that. We chat about what it really takes to start a business, pushing past fear, and the steps she took to open her own counseling center. And of course, we touch on the dangers of comparison and how essential it is to be fully present and listen to those around us. It’s such a rich conversation, and I just know it’s going to leave you feeling uplifted and inspired!

Hi Friends, it's Rachel Earp here!

If you're like me and have been longing for a more simplified skincare regimen that is made with safe, clean ingredients....press play and listen to this episode featuring Emilie Toups- the founder of Toups & Co Organics.

Emilie was first introduced to nontoxic skincare when she healed her daughter’s eczema with tallow balm, an ancient remedy made from beef fat. Since then, Emilie has become a pioneer for “ancestral skincare” and nontoxic living, inventing and reimagining products that are effective and safe enough to eat. She first started by selling homemade tallow balms on Etsy,, and since then has pioneered ancestral skincare through the enormous Toups & Co brand. 

In this episode, Emilie emphasizes the importance of reading and understanding product ingredients, as many companies use buzzwords like 'natural' and 'toxin-free' without truly being clean. She encourages consumers to educate themselves and make informed choices for their health and well-being. In this conversation, Emilie Toups emphasizes the importance of taking care of our bodies from the inside out and using tallow-based products for skincare. She explains that conventional products may provide quick fixes, but they contain toxins that can age the skin over time. On the other hand, tallow feeds the skin cells with fat-soluble vitamins, resulting in healthier and more radiant skin.

One of the books she mentioned that has been a huge resource for clean eating is called "Gut and Physiology Syndrome" by Natasha Campbell McBride and is linked HERE

Welcome to the very first episode of the Heels, Handbags & Hustle Podcast. Resurfacing this because it's such a sweet start to my Podcasting journey and where it all began.

It's not perfect or polished...it's just a little about me.

I found this old photo of me when I was three years old...think hot pink OshKosh overalls, big sunglasses, my Mom's oversized heels and handbag I was dragging behind. I was a little girl with a big personality.

Fast forward to now, I'm still a girl on a mission, and I love a good pair of heels and cute handbag. In my podcast, you will get to know it all..the good, the bad and the ugly. I have had the privilege of interviewing many amazing, talented women who candidly share their success journeys with us. The purpose of my Podcast is to encourage, inspire and bring a little sparkle to your day.

At age 11, Michelle was permanently disabled in a car accident that froze her growth at 4’ 4” and left her needing crutches to walk.

By her own admission, she wasn’t just physically small – she used to live her life emotionally small. The hardest part of living with a visible disability was the shame and unworthiness she carried in her heart and mind.

So she embarked on what began as just a physical fitness journey – and evolved into a life-transformation journey when she decided to join her gym mates in their quest to climb Machu Picchu in Peru.

She hiked up the 26 miles of ascending trail 8-10 hours a day. She had to bandage her wrists so they wouldn’t break as they took a load of her body weight with every step on her crutches.

She ultimately ascended the peak … crawling on her hands and knees at the end, to the cheers of those in her party who had been strangers at the outset of the journey. When she came home, she was changed forever.

Michelle is now a Visibility Marketing Coach, Author and Speaker who is inspiring lives all over the world. Her zest for life, fun-loving personality and ready smile is proof that no matter what life brings, you CAN find strength from within!
