Inside the Founder

In this dual episode I sit down with Cat Roten, in person, for some real talk on navigating change, updating your identity, and learning how to set (and actually keep!) boundaries. We get honest about the messy middle, the fears that come up when you pivot or put yourself out there, and how important it is to find a community that really feels like yours.

New year, first episode, where I dive deep into the energy and intentions I'm bringing into 2026! After a year of self-awareness and inner excavation, I’m choosing to show up differently—less performing, more authenticity, and a whole lot of boldness. In this episode, I unpack my journey from seeking external validation to creating from a place of deep-rooted intention. I talk about choosing my word for the year—“embody”—and why taking action and integrating lessons learned is the theme I’m carrying forward.

I share behind-the-scenes insights from hosting my first-ever event for creatives and entrepreneurs in Zambia, including the challenges, mindset shifts, and magic of community that unfolded. You’ll hear about detaching from outcomes, learning to ask for help, and the importance of taking bold actions—even when you’re nervous! Plus, I reflect on redefining authenticity and building personal brand with intention, inspired by a powerful conversation with Lulu Hangala Wood.

In this final part of the mini series of navigating spiritual puberty I share about a KEY part of making the change - taking action, because if nothing changes, nothing changes.

I created a mini series to share a three part framework I lean on to support my spiritual puberty journey and one that I have been leaning on as I have been doing the inner work.

Part one is on clarity and really understanding the lay of the land and vibe checking where you are at and where you are heading.

Most people don't have a career problem. They have a self-knowledge problem.

Caitlin Magidson, certified career coach and licensed psychotherapist, built the program she wishes she'd had because strategy alone was never going to be enough. You have to know yourself first.

We explore:

• Why career coaching is really inner work in disguise , and what happens when you skip that part
• The danger of attaching your entire identity to one job, one role, or one bad experience
• What "designing your life" actually means in practice , and the pandemic decision that showed Caitlin what was possible
• Why there's no single right career path, and why that should feel freeing rather than terrifying
• The mistake most people make when trying to figure out what they want (and how to prototype instead)

If you've been waiting for permission to start over, change direction, or want something different — this one's for you.

• 00:00 – Caitlin's journey: from communications major to licensed psychotherapist to career coach
• 07:08 – Why helping people became the mission, and where it started
• 10:28 – The first therapy experience that didn't fit — and waiting a decade before trying again
• 13:12 – The two superpowers Caitlin brings: career coach and therapist in one
• 15:51 – Why strategy without inner work is a house built on nothing
• 18:10 – The biggest mistake people make when designing their careers
• 22:56 – Designing her own life: selling the furniture, packing the car, driving cross-country
• 24:42 – How to use everyday experiences as a compass for what you want more of
• 28:38 – The Career Design Program: what it is, who it's for, and what people walk away with
• 33:36 – What Caitlin wishes she knew earlier: don't quit after one bad therapist

In this episode, I chatted with Bonnie Lee—a holistic hormone and fertility coach and founder of Femme Fuse. Bonnie’s all about helping high-achieving women rebalance their hormones, restore their energy, and boost fertility—minus the stress, restriction, or burnout.

We deep-dived into Bonnie’s personal journey: leaving birth control behind, facing PCOS struggles, and learning to support her body with simple, holistic habits. Instead of restrictive diets and stressing over what to cut out, Bonnie started focusing on what she could add to her routine—nutrients, movement, and rest. The results? Regular cycles, clear skin, healthy pregnancies, and so much more.

One of the biggest takeaways for me was cycle syncing—respecting the natural ebbs and flows of our energy, nutrition, and mindset throughout the month. Bonnie broke things down in a way that’s actionable: balanced meals, daily walks, sleep hygiene, and listening to our bodies. It’s not about doing more; it’s about doing what’s supportive for you, right now.

Bonnie’s approach is genuinely empowering and reminded me how much grace we need to give ourselves. If you’re ready to make a shift, remember: start simple, tune in to your own energy, and let your cycle work for you.

It's so easy to get caught up in how others define success and what it's 'supposed' to look like, that we end up missing out on our own joys. In this episode I share about what that's looked like to me and what's helped me get clearer on it.
