Lady Quest Podcast

Today I'm sharing my latest in business development. In particular, the magic of conversations! And how talking openly to the people in your world about what everyone is doing and creating leads to opportunity and breakthrough! YAY!

The book I mentioned about just having conversations is called The Prosperous Coach by Rich Litvin and Steven Chandler.

If you'd like to have a conversation with ME set it up through this link.

We are in the dead of hot-a$$ summer here in Flamingo Heights and I am ON FIRE... in my business! I've had such a fun month marketing the ENCHANTED retreat, which has sold out before the early bird deadline. I've been building a new 'opt-in' type offer for FitBodLife... I'll tell you all about how and what I'm doing and my - yikes! - big goals. And overall, I'm just loving the creativity and genuineness possible when living the life of an entrepreneur. Listen up to hear all about it!

In this episode I talk about a big old insight I recently had — that I don't want to be a wifey that is financially supported by my husband. I want to keep building my own ever-growing success in the world! Listen up for the special ways this insight sparkles, and to hear me admit what I REALLY want to manifest.

In this episode I talk about the luxury of taking time for transitions as evidenced in my long pack and prep time to get from my mom's Harlem apartment to Laguardia Airport. Then the life-changing power of mindset. In particular I talk about a powerful reframe my hubby and I made on our summer vacation - how thinking of it as an 'adventure' removes the need for spency luxuries and makes us happy and excited for the unexpected. After that I get into HOW to think from the right place - including recommending a great meditation on abundance.

Join me as a I brew up some stovetop espresso and share my latest insights into the intersection between embodiment and empowerment. I talk about some recent outings, choices around drinking and exercise... and how going big for what you want does NOT mean you need to be perfectly fit, clean, or sober. It's a decision you get to make right here right now from exactly where you are.

Ariel is back with a big ol' reality check on what it takes to build a successful business — and the difference between hiding and really putting your stuff out there. Inspiration includes Gianni Versace, NYC skyscrapers, The Emperor card in Tarot... and BDE. Take a walk for six minutes with me and let's kick off Season 2 together :)

Ever wondered what actually happens at a transformational retreat? In this episode, Ariel and Bobbie take you inside the WONDER New Year Visioning Retreat—day by day, practice by practice.

Happening January 11-15, 2026 in Joshua Tree, WONDER is a five-day journey designed to help you release 2025, vision your most extraordinary 2026, and create an actual plan to make it real.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What happens from the moment you land at Palm Springs Airport to your final morning yoga practice
• The specific practices we use each day (somatic work, EFT tapping, guided meditation, movement, journaling)
• Why the order matters—why you can't vision clearly until you release, and why you can't take action until you've done the visioning
• What it's like to be held in luxury while doing deep transformational work
• Why this isn't just inspiration—you leave with a concrete season-by-season plan for your year

Whether you're considering joining us or you're just curious about how transformational retreats actually work, this episode gives you the complete picture.

A few spots remain for WONDER. Learn all about the WONDER RETREAT here.

• The weird oracle that showed up when we toured Gaia Villa where we're hosting the WONDER Retreat
• How Bobbie uses words to cast (positive) spells... and how you can too
• The undeniable link between dance and personal freedom
• What it means to "throw dicks" as a break-dancer
• How Bobbie escaped from a depressing job situation
• How to 'find gold' when sucky things are happening in your life
• And so much more!

Four months ago, my husband Matt and I left Los Angeles for the high desert near Joshua Tree, and it has fundamentally changed everything about how I feel in my body and in my life. 

In this episode, I'm sharing the most profound shifts that have come from this move—from the magic of seeing constellations every single night, to finding my people in this creative, grown-up, art-loving community, to feeling my animal nature again with bare feet on the earth surrounded by Joshua trees, coyotes, and bunnies. 

I'm also opening up about simplifying my business to focus purely on embodied fitness and retreats, how my marriage feels more alive and playful than ever, and why sometimes the answer really is just to leave. 

If you've ever wondered whether a big change could unlock something deeper in you, this one's for you.
