Hello Moxie

Host: Nicole Donnelly 

Guest: Michael Scarano, Retired Physician, Executive Coach, TEDx Speaker 

If you're a high-functioning woman searching for real emotional exhaustion recovery — and you're tired of toxic positivity and quick fixes — this conversation is for you. 

In this episode of Hello Moxie, Nicole sits down with retired physician and executive coach Michael Scarano to talk about something most successful women don't have a name for yet: high functioning anxiety and the pattern Michael calls toxic perseverance. After the devastating loss of his closest friend, Michael spent a year and a half researching what keeps high achievers stuck in cycles of overwork, self-sabotage, and emotional exhaustion — even when they've checked every box. 

This isn't toxic positivity. This is a real, honest look at what it costs successful women to keep performing when the engine underneath is running on shame, fear, and unprocessed trauma. You'll exhale. You'll feel seen. And you'll probably rethink what you've been calling ambition.

🌟 What You'll Learn

• The signs of high functioning anxiety most successful women miss
• Why your ambition might actually be self-sabotage in disguise
• The difference between intrinsic motivation and the goal-chasing that's burning you out
• How childhood trauma shows up in adult overachievement
• The five-step framework Michael uses to break the cycle
• Why self-forgiveness — not self-improvement — is the real foundation of healing

✨ Michael's Moxie Highlights

• Walked away from a successful medical career at 50 to pursue a deeper mission
• Coined the term toxic perseverance after a devastating personal loss
• Selected as a TEDx Third Ward speaker (Houston, January 2026)
• Helps high achievers break free from shame-based achievement cycles

📚 About Michael Scarano Michael is a retired physician, executive coach, and emerging TEDx speaker whose upcoming talk and forthcoming book explore toxic perseverance — the subconscious mindset that keeps high achievers stuck in overwork, self-sabotage, and emotional exhaustion.

Host: Nicole Donnelly

Guest: Adaku Mbagwu — Transformational Coach, Founder of HEAL, and Creator of The Healed Hero Community

In this candid episode, host Nicole Donnelly is joined by eldest daughter syndrome expert Adaku Mbagwu, whose work has been featured by CBS, FOX, ABC, and Essence.

Adaku shares her journey of building a £2.4 million women-owned business through 80-hour weeks and burnout — and the moment she realized scaling was not the thing breaking her. The conversation goes deep into the unconscious patterns shaping women in leadership, why working harder is not getting you noticed, and what it takes to lead without being the bottleneck.

🌟 Adaku and Nicole dive into:

• The eldest daughter trap and how it quietly runs your career
• Why working harder is not the answer (and what actually is)
• Why therapy for burnout often misses the root pattern
• The five levels of vulnerability and stepping into your "God's self"
• Why being courageous enough to be embarrassed is an entrepreneurial superpower
• How to stop being the person everything depends on

Adaku also honors one of her modern-day heroines, Beyoncé — for her consistency of standard and what her journey teaches us about the hidden pressure of being a firstborn daughter.

This episode will reframe how you think about ambition, success, and the cost of carrying it all.

🔥 Highlights

• 💼 The £2.4M walk-away: leaving at the peak of growth
• 🪞 "It wasn't the scaling that was hard. It was how you showed up."
• 🩹 Why high-achieving women stay silent in rooms they fought to be in
• 🎯 Her client Shirley: £160K to £800K in 8 months
• 💡 "I'm supposed to be here." — Adaku on stepping into your God's self

💼 About Adaku Mbagwu

Adaku is a transformational coach for women in leadership and the founder of HEAL, where she helps women entrepreneurs and executives break the unconscious patterns keeping them exhausted at the top. After scaling her London recruitment business to £2.4M and walking away, Adaku rebuilt her life around what she actually wanted. She now lives in Tulum, Mexico, and her work on eldest daughter syndrome has been covered by CBS, FOX, ABC, AP News, and Essence.

What if the reason your business feels overwhelming has nothing to do with how hard you're working — and everything to do with the story you've been telling yourself about money?

For Monica Roca-Quesada, a Fractional CFO and Financial Operations Strategist who has spent 30+ years helping growth-focused entrepreneurs turn financial chaos into clarity, the answer starts with one honest question: when did you last connect back to why you started?

In this episode of Hello Moxie, Monica shares what she has learned from working with small business owners who are doing everything right and still hitting a wall — and why the most powerful thing an ambitious woman can do right now is stop carrying the weight of financial overwhelm alone and start getting clear on what her numbers are actually telling her.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why the "I should know this" shame spiral around money is keeping more business owners stuck than any financial problem ever could
• The loneliness at the top nobody talks about — and how reconnecting to your why is what actually pulls you through
• How your personal money story follows you directly into every business decision you make
• What AI is actually doing to finance and accounting — and the honest truth about what it can and can't replace
• How Monica built a thriving 12-year business while taking days off every week to be present for her family
• What Serena Williams teaches us about vulnerability, visibility, and living unapologetically on your own terms

This episode is for you if:

• You are a small business owner who feels overwhelmed by your finances and not sure where to start
• You have been doing all the right things in your business and still feel like something invisible is holding you back
• You are ready to stop building a business that consumes your life and start designing one that actually works for it

What if the reason you're not where you want to be in your career has nothing to do with your skills, your strategy, or how hard you're working — and everything to do with a story your unconscious mind decided about you before you were old enough to question it?

For Suzanne Longstreet, a bestselling author and mindset coach who has helped hundreds of women entrepreneurs scale to seven figures, the answer has always started from within. Using neuro-linguistic programming and timeline therapy, she goes back to the root — the childhood memories, the inherited beliefs, the unspoken rules about money and worth — and clears what's been quietly running the show.

In this episode of Hello Moxie, Suzanne shares what she has learned from working with women who are doing everything right and still hitting a ceiling — and why the most powerful thing an ambitious woman can do right now is stop performing her worth and start believing it.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why women lost $800 billion in revenue in a single year — and the deeper reason behind it
• The one question Suzanne asks her clients for over an hour and a half to get to the real answer
• How unhealed childhood memories show up as fear of visibility, fear of charging more, and fear of success
• Why affirmations alone don't work — and what actually shifts the unconscious mind
• How Suzanne cleared complex PTSD using NLP and watched her own revenue increase five times
• What Sally Field teaches us about vulnerability, owning your worth, and letting yourself be fully seen

This episode is for you if:

• You are an ambitious woman who has been doing all the right things and still feels stuck
• You know you're undercharging but can't seem to make yourself stop
• You are ready to stop operating from fear and start building from your true identity

What would it take for you to pack up your life, get on a train, and spend five months traveling solo across Europe — at the absolute peak of your career?

For Beth Mooney, a 30-year global marketing and eCommerce executive who has led digital transformation at some of the world's largest industrial and automotive companies — including Danfoss, Dana, Eaton, Tenneco, and Sherwin-Williams — the answer was simpler than you might think. Set the goal. Build the tools. Don't give your power away.

In this episode of Hello Moxie, Beth shares what she learned from 8,000 miles, six countries, and 40 cities — and why the most radical thing an ambitious woman can do right now is get radically focused on what is actually hers to build.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why social media is shortening our thinking and what to do about it
• How Beth used her business skills to plan a five-month solo sabbatical from scratch
• Why your network is your greatest asset during uncertain times
• The one question every ambitious woman should ask herself before the day begins
• What Margaret Thatcher teaches us about assertiveness, boldness, and owning your power
• Three practical tips for any woman dreaming of taking a sabbatical

This episode is for you if:

• You are an ambitious woman feeling exhausted from carrying the weight of a world you cannot control
• You have a big life goal that keeps getting pushed to the back burner
• You are ready to stop giving your power away and start building a life that actually belongs to you

Host: Nicole Donnelly
Guest:   Maren Conradi — Product Marketing Leader at HeyMarvin

What happens when you build your entire identity around your career — and then the ground shifts? In this raw, unscripted conversation, Nicole sits down with tech marketing leader Maren Conradi for her very first podcast appearance — and she did not hold back.

They go straight into the deep end: workaholism as a trauma response, mom guilt, landing your dream job and losing yourself inside it, and the gut-check question every woman needs to hear — "Would a man say that?" Plus: AI in the workplace, the loneliness epidemic nobody's talking about (especially for older adults), and why Jane Goodall's legacy of hope matters now more than ever.

This one is messy, funny, and full of the kind of truth that makes you want to call your best friend and say, "You have to listen to this."

💡 Moxie Takeaways

• On self-doubt: Next time you catch yourself shrinking, ask: "Would a man say that?" If the answer is no, rewrite the script.
• On workaholism: It's not a badge of honor — it might be a stress response. And running faster doesn't mean you're running toward anything.
• On purpose: It doesn't have to be grand. Go to brunch with your neighbors. Volunteer. Take a pottery class. The point is to have something that isn't your job.
• On mentorship: The best mentoring relationships are never formal. They start with someone who believes you can do the thing — and tells you so.
• On loneliness: Look up from your phone. Put on real pants. Leave your house. And check on the older people in your life — they might need it most.
• On introductions: You are not your job title. Try introducing yourself by what makes you you.

In this special joint episode of Hello Moxie and The Wealth Within Her, Nicole Donnelly is joined by financial empowerment advocate and founder Catrine Rhenberg for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about women, money, self-worth, and agency.

Together, Nicole and Catrine explore the hidden costs women pay when they don’t speak up — financially, professionally, and personally — and what it really takes to reclaim power from the inside out. From salary negotiation and financial freedom to intuition, leadership, and redefining wealth, this episode invites women to rethink their relationship with money and themselves.

 ✨ In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Catrine’s powerful “€2 million lesson” and how not speaking up can compound over a lifetime
• Why women are far less likely to negotiate — and how that impacts long-term financial freedom
• Reframing negotiation as collaboration, not conflict
• What “fuck you money” really means and why every woman needs it
• The connection between self-worth and earning power
• How childhood money stories shape adult financial behavior
• Burnout, hustle culture, and redefining what wealth truly means
• Learning to listen to the body as a source of guidance and self-trust
• Leadership without loudness — and why quiet confidence is powerful
• Women of inspiration, including Jane Goodall, and the value of calm, grounded leadership

 💭 Memorable Quote:

 💡 Key Takeaways:

• Women and financial freedom are deeply tied to self-worth
• Negotiating early has lifelong impact
• Financial freedom equals choice and agency, not excess
• Money stories can be questioned and rewritten
• True wealth includes alignment, health, and fulfillment
• Quiet confidence can be a powerful form of leadership

This conversation is a reminder that financial empowerment isn’t just about numbers — it’s about trusting yourself, valuing your voice, and creating a life that feels aligned and free.
