What if the reason you can't show up consistently — for your business, your kids, your husband — isn't a discipline problem? It's a nervous system problem.
This week I sat down with Bree-Anne Gillespie, founder of Positively Peaceful Parenting and the Zenden Collective, and we cracked open something nobody handed me at 26 with Anaya in my arms: emotional regulation isn't a luxury. It's the operating system underneath your entire life and your entire business.
Bree said something on this episode I haven't been able to shake: "I learned that I can regulate a room just by walking in it." And I realized — that's the whole game. As founders. As moms. As women building brands online. Whoever has the most regulated nervous system in the room sets the tone for the room.
In this episode we get into:
If you've ever felt like you're posting from panic, parenting from autopilot, or running your business from the edge of a meltdown, this one's for you.

This is the most personal episode I’ve ever recorded.
And the one that explains everything.
In this episode, I sit down with my mom — the woman who held our entire family together through chaos most people wouldn’t survive.
Single mom.
Three daughters.
Mental illness.
Addiction.
Abuse.
Courtrooms.
Threats.
Loss.
And somehow…
She never broke.
This isn’t just a conversation.
It’s a masterclass in:
👉 identity
👉 leadership
👉 and what it really means to stay strong when everything around you is falling apart
🔥 What it actually looks like to lead through chaos
🔥 How to stay grounded when your life feels out of control
🔥 The truth about identity (and why most people lose themselves)
🔥 Parenting through trauma, addiction, and mental illness
🔥 The moment everything changed — and how she didn’t collapse
🔥 Faith, resilience, and the power of not giving up
🔥 What most women get wrong about “being strong”
🔥 How to live with purpose — even after everything falls apart
“I didn’t have a choice but to know who I was… or I would have lost everything.”
✨ You’ve been through things you don’t talk about
✨ You’ve had moments where you felt like you might break
✨ You’re holding it together for everyone else
✨ You’re trying to find yourself again
Strength isn’t loud.
It’s choosing to stand…
when everything in your life is trying to take you down.
You don’t fall apart when life gets hard…
You fall apart when you don’t know who you are.

If you’re not using text marketing in your business…
You’re leaving money on the table.
In this episode, we’re diving into how to use SMS marketing, I interview CO Founder Jake Dempsey, to build a powerful list, increase engagement, and turn conversations into conversions.
Because here’s the truth:
Social media gives you visibility.
But text message marketing gives you ownership.
🔥 What text marketing is and why it works better than email
🔥 How SMS marketing creates higher open rates and faster responses
🔥 Why you need to build your own text message list (not rely on social media)
🔥 The biggest mistakes people make with SMS marketing campaigns
🔥 How to write text messages that actually get replies
🔥 The difference between email marketing vs text marketing
🔥 How to use SMS to increase conversions, sales, and engagement
🔥 Real strategies to scale your business using text message marketing tools
That means:
👉 More conversations
👉 More connection
👉 More sales
Most people treat text messages like ads.
Instead of using text marketing to build relationships, they only send promotions.
And that’s why their audience stops responding.
Stop using SMS to sell.
Start using SMS to:
Because the real money isn’t in the message…
It’s in the conversation.
✔ A strategy to build your SMS list
✔ A system to nurture your audience
✔ A way to turn replies into revenue
If you’re serious about text message marketing, you need the right platform.
Project Broadcast is the tool I’ve used to build and scale my SMS list to over 70,000 leads.
It allows you to:
✔ Send personalized text messages at scale
✔ Automate follow-ups
✔ Build deeper connections with your audience

You’re not burnt out.
You’re dysregulated.
And no amount of strategy, content, or “working harder” is going to fix that.
In this episode, I sit down with Shamina Taylor — a woman who has helped 51 women become millionaires — and we go ALL the way in on what’s really keeping high-performing women stuck.
This is not surface-level motivation.
This is identity work, emotional mastery, and real power.
🔥 Why hustle culture is outdated (and what’s replacing it)
🔥 The nervous system truth no one is talking about
🔥 Why women hit burnout even when they’re “successful”
🔥 The real reason your business isn’t scaling
🔥 What happens when you stop doing everything yourself
🔥 How unresolved trauma silently controls your income
🔥 Why breakdowns don’t automatically lead to breakthroughs
🔥 The truth about trauma bonding in business + relationships
🔥 How healing your identity changes your money, relationships, and life
Shamina shares the exact moment her life shifted —
not in a boardroom… not in business…
…but on a yoga mat, mid-breakdown.
A moment where she realized:
👉 “I don’t know who I am anymore.”
And from that moment… everything changed.
✨ Exhausted even when things look successful
✨ Like you’re doing EVERYTHING but still stuck
✨ Disconnected from yourself, your family, or your purpose
✨ Ready to scale… but something keeps pulling you back
This episode will hit you right in the soul.
You don’t need more strategy.
You need:
Your kids don’t need more from you.
They need you.
Present. Regulated. Whole.

She didn’t have a confidence problem…
Until cancer changed everything.
After radiation, Cher looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize herself anymore.
Wrinkles. Texture. Skin she had never experienced before.
And for the first time in her life…
she didn’t feel beautiful.
So she had two choices:
➡️ Accept it
➡️ Or do something about it
She chose action.
In this episode, we’re diving into:
🔥 What it actually feels like to lose your identity after a major life event
🔥 The moment Cher said “this is NOT me” (and everything changed)
🔥 How she rebuilt her confidence in less than 30 days
🔥 The truth about skincare for women over 60 (no filters, no BS)
🔥 Why live selling is about to EXPLODE (and how she’s already ahead of it)
🔥 The REAL reason people buy (hint: it’s not the product)
🔥 How she found her micro-niche: women post-cancer + post-radiation
🔥 The shift from “selling a product” to becoming the brand
🔥 How her business TRIPLED by simply adding herself into the story
This episode is for you if:
✨ You’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought “who is that?”
✨ You feel like your confidence disappeared somewhere along the way
✨ You’re tired of being marketed to by people who don’t understand your reality
✨ You KNOW you’re meant for more… but haven’t fully stepped into your voice yet
The biggest takeaway?
People don’t buy skincare.
They buy belief.
They buy you.
And as Cher said best:
👉 “There are thousands of distributors… but only Cher can talk like Cher.”

If you’ve ever felt like your body changed overnight, your brain got foggy, your emotions got louder, and nobody handed you a manual for what the hell was happening… this episode is going to hit.
In this conversation, Marina sits down with Joyce — nurse, women’s health advocate, and founder of Rejoiceful Living — for a real, unfiltered talk about perimenopause, hormone shifts, invisible symptoms, and what happens when a woman stops dismissing what she feels and starts building a mission around it.
What makes this episode so powerful is that Joyce isn’t speaking from theory. She’s lived it. After 20 years in nursing and her own brutal experience with perimenopause, she realized how many women were being dismissed, underprepared, and flat-out confused by what was happening in their bodies. So instead of staying stuck, she built a brand, a program, and a resource hub to help women feel informed, supported, and empowered again.
This is also a deeper conversation about what happens when a woman stops trying to fit into a business model that doesn’t light her up… and starts building a brand around what she’s actually called to do.
0:00 — Marina’s honest intro: no script, no prep, just a real conversation
2:00 — Joyce shares her personal experience with perimenopause and why this mission matters
6:00 — Marina opens up about early menopause symptoms and feeling completely unprepared
9:00 — The overlooked symptoms women don’t realize are connected to hormone shifts
14:00 — Brain fog, inflammation, stress, and the compounding effect of hormone changes
18:00 — Why women are overprepared for birth… and wildly underprepared for perimenopause
23:00 — Hormone replacement, provider resistance, and advocating for your health
28:00 — How Joyce turned her experience into a real offer and support portal for women
33:00 — What it looks like to work with Joyce and where women should start first
38:00 — Insulin resistance, inflammation, weight gain, and why “eat less, move more” isn’t the whole story
45:00 — The authority piece: why Joyce’s nursing background changes everything
50:00 — Everything Joyce built in nine months while working full time
57:00 — The confidence shift that happens when your brand finally matches your mission
1:02:00 — Why Joyce is now known as “the menopause lady” and why that branding is genius
1:05:00 — Final encouragement for the woman who knows she’s called to more

In this episode, Marina sits down with Bry Gossert (VP of Sales at AICE) to unpack the tool that’s changing how entrepreneurs (especially network marketers + busy mom business owners) build community, track engagement, and follow up with confidence.
They talk about why social platforms are no longer reliable for visibility, why Facebook groups are losing their power, and how AICE “Campfires” create an owned community experience — plus the real game-changer: knowing exactly who clicked, what they watched, and what they’re interested in so you can stop chasing cold leads and start serving warm ones.

Alicia shares how she went from hiding behind wigs and self-doubt to building Becoming Her — a full-blown movement for women navigating trichotillomania, trauma, and the war with their hands. This isn’t a sob story. It’s a come-up. And it’s raw, powerful, and painfully relatable.
