Some people treat “I have MS” like breaking news about their own life and that tells you everything you need to know. We sit down with Laura Carriello, holistic health coach and founder of Evotion Reset, to talk about dating with multiple sclerosis and why chronic illness doesn’t make you “harder to love,” it makes your standards clearer and your boundaries louder.

We discuss dating questions people avoid: When do you disclose a chronic illness? What happens when you share too early? Laura explains why trust comes before disclosure, what supportive partners actually do, and the mindset shift from “pick me” to “I’m the chooser.” You’ll also hear her best tool for staying hopeful, plus the non-negotiables that protect your peace.

Key Topics 

• Living with MS for 25 years and thriving
• 
  
• When and how to disclose a chronic illness in dating
• 
  
• Building confidence and boundaries after diagnosis
• 
  
• Strategies for healthy communication and trust in relationships

About Laura

Laura Cariello, M.Ed., CHHC, is a certified holistic health coach and founder of Evocean RESET™, a transformational method helping women with autoimmune conditions regulate their nervous systems and reclaim their energy.

Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 21, Laura has spent over two decades navigating ambition, identity, and dating with a chronic illness. She speaks candidly about disclosure, confidence, attraction, and the emotional resilience required to date from self-worth instead of fear.

She challenges the quiet narrative that women with chronic illness should feel “lucky” to be chosen. A diagnosis is not a warning label — and the right partner won’t need convincing.

Through her work, Laura helps women stop shrinking because of their condition and start showing up fully in health, in business, and in love.

A woman shouldn’t have to prove her worth to get basic documents, basic health care, or basic safety, yet that’s the reality for many women in Nepal. We’re joined by Parina Subba Limbu, a Kathmandu-based activist with over 20 years of experience and the founder of Dristi Nepal, a women-led nonprofit supporting women who use drugs, women living with HIV, single mothers, and survivors of violence.

We talk about what stigma looks like up close: being denied dignity at service centers, facing invasive questions in clinics, and being blamed for violence instead of protected from it. Parina breaks down how patriarchy shows up in policy and daily life. And how different are women struggles between the two countries. 

Key Topics

• Women’s rights in Nepal
• Impact of stigma and discrimination
• Role of activism and community support
• Challenges in accessing legal documentation
• Disparities in treatment of women and men 

About Parina

With over 20 years of experience as an activist in Nepal, Parina has dedicated her life, career and expertise with experience to advancing the rights and well-being of women who use drugs and those who are living with HIV, single mothers, and survivors of violence. Her work focuses on gender-specific issues, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender-based violence (GBV), stigma reduction, mental health, human rights, and the intersection of drug use and HIV within the feminist movement. She has led numerous capacity-building initiatives, training programs, and advocacy campaigns aimed at strengthening leadership, reducing discrimination, and improving access to essential services for marginalized women.

Hot flashes, brain fog, and that hair-trigger mood that makes you want to fight everyone in your house can feel personal, like you’re failing at life. We’re here to say it clearly: a lot of this is hormonal, and there are real, evidence-based ways to make it easier.

We sit down with Dana Lawson, a certified health coach and menopause educator to explain what is really going on.  

Key Topics

• Peri-Menopause
• The misconceptions of menopause
• Men get menopause? 
• Nutrition and menopause
• HRT
• Women of color and menopause 

About Dana

Dana Lawson is a Certified Health Coach and Menopause Educator with over 15 years in the health and wellness industry. Despite her background, when she entered menopause at 51, she experienced severe fatigue, hot flashes, sleep disruption, weight gain, and depression, symptoms that didn’t respond to the strategies that had worked for her before.

Determined to find answers, Dana sought advanced mentorship with a Certified Hormone Specialist and Menopause Expert in Canada. Today, her mission is to help all women, but especially women of color, understand what’s happening to their hormones during the menopause transition and how to support their bodies through evidence-based nutrition, restorative sleep, stress management, intentional movement, and nervous system regulation. Dana helps women reduce symptoms, improve their health, and move through midlife feeling informed, supported, and confident.

Your life isn’t messy because you’re “bad at adulting” it’s messy because you’re trying to run a neurotypical system with an ADHD brain while carrying the whole single-mom load. I sit down with Kate, an accredited career and ADHD coach and the founder of 8 Percent Coaching, to get real about what adult ADHD in women actually looks like behind the stereotypes, and why so many high-achieving women don’t get diagnosed until their 30s, 40s, or even menopause.

Kate is an Accredited Career and ADHD Coach who helps ambitious professionals navigate the workplace with a neurodivergent brain. A busy mum of three, she knows firsthand the juggle of parenting and performing — and still managed a 56% salary jump through strategic repositioning.

Some relationships shape you before you even have words for what’s happening and that’s why the mother wound can feel so hard to name. I’m joined by Tania, a Brooklyn-born Latina podcaster who keeps it raw, funny, and honest, to talk about the complicated mix of love, loyalty, criticism, and expectation that can sit between mothers and daughters, especially in cultures where “respect your mother” is treated like a rule you’re not allowed to question.

Blending comedy, honesty, and heart, she brings unfiltered conversations about life, growth, relationships, and everything in between.

Your dad vanishes, the rumors turn into legend, and you spend decades wondering if he is dead, hiding, or living under a new name. Then your phone rings and everything flips. We sit down with Lisa Alexander, who grew up with a larger-than-life father known as Whitey, a man whose chaos shaped her childhood and whose absence left a crater of unanswered questions.

About Lisa

The story about my father Whitey Macdonald being a fugitive for over 30 years and what it was like for me, his daughter to wonder where he was all those years. Finally believing he was dead, and I would never know the truth. Then  on January 2011 I got that phone call that he was alive and arrested and it was a life-changing experience. Reconnecting with him after all those years the shock the pain, finally having that connection with my father that I had always hoped for. But time was sure because he was dying of stage four cancer. Spending those last three years with him getting to know him, him getting to know me. That closure that that little girl was always looking for.

Money hits different when you’re a single mom. There’s no backup account, no one to split the mental math with, and no margin for “I’ll deal with it later.” If you’ve ever avoided your bank app because it felt like a hundred tiny steps, or found yourself impulse-buying at the end of a brutal day, this conversation is for you.

We sit down with Sherry Andrew of Money Mindset Financial Coaching and get real about relationships and divorce finances. Sherry explains the biggest mistake many women make by not being involved in household money, what financial independence can actually look like (even when you share a life with someone), and why having your own decision-making power can be protective and freeing. Then we move into practical, ADHD-friendly strategies like payday automation, separating spending money from bill money, and prioritizing essentials first when you’re rebuilding.

Key Topics

• Know Your Income and Expenses: Knowing where your money comes from and where it goes is the first step toward effective budgeting.
• Finances Pre and Post divorce: Strategizing for the future is key.
• Automation and scheduling apps to pay bills is one way to keep off your plate as a busy mom.

About Sherry

After being fired from a nearly 17-year career, Sherry took a leap of faith to pursue her passion for personal finance and launched Money Mindset Financial Coaching in 2018. After her job loss, she discovered her love for personal finance by learning everything she could to improve her household finances. Now, she helps others make significant shifts with their money. After learning that she has ADHD, she pivoted her business focus to assist individuals and entrepreneurs with ADHD in gaining confidence and clarity with their finances by building and implementing systems that simplify their lives. She enjoys working with ADHD entrepreneurs because the added complexity of self-employment presents extra challenges, while also providing greater opportunities for increased income!

Her clients save, pay off debt, and achieve their financial goals while still living their lives! She believes that the path to your financial goals doesn’t include a restrictive budget, but comes by focusing on what is important to you and building systems that align with how your brain works! She is an Accredited Financial Counsellor Canada® and a Certified Professional Financial Coach™ who helps clients feel confident about managing their money.

Someone tells a single mom to “just relax” and it sounds harmless, until you’ve lived the day she’s living. I sit down with Veronica, a California single mother raising a 15-year-old and the host of Stop Telling Me to Relax, to name what actually sits on our plates: the schedules, the bills, the loneliness, the identity shifts, and the pressure to look fine while we’re doing the work of two people.

• Navigating dating and relationships as a single mom
• The importance of community and support networks

You know that feeling when someone gives you just enough attention to keep you hooked, then disappears long enough to make you spiral? We’re not calling it fate, bad luck, or Mercury retrograde. We’re calling it behavior. I sit down with Paola Ortiz, a board certified behavior analyst and professor, to look at dating patterns through Applied Behavior Analysis and it gets uncomfortably clarifying, fast.

Key Takeaways

• Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a science that studies how behaviors are influenced by environmental factors.
• ABA can help individuals recognize and change unhealthy dating patterns by understanding reinforcement and behavior dynamics.
• How can I break unhealthy dating patterns? Start by recognizing your patterns, taking accountability for your choices, and seeking support to foster healthier relationships. 

About Paola 

Paola Ortiz is a board-certified behavior analyst, psychology professor, operational leader, and mom who is passionate about helping women design lives that actually work in the real world.

Through her work and her podcast, EveryDay ABA, Paola makes behavior science practical and relatable, especially for women carrying the invisible mental load at work and at home.

You can connect with her on Instagram @ProfessorPaola & listen to her podcast weekly on Tuesdays.

She didn’t “manifest” her way out of this. She made a plan, took a second job, faced the numbers, and made a housing choice that sounded a little unhinged on purpose because survival sometimes is. Lisa, the creator behind thirtyfiveandfive, joins us to tell the full story of how her five-year plan became a lifeline when life felt off-track at 35.

Key Takeaways

• Setting clear goals is essential for personal growth and accountability. 
• Vulnerability can foster community and support among individuals facing similar challenges.
• It's crucial to adapt and adjust plans as life unfolds, recognizing that setbacks are part of the journey.

About Lisa 

Lisa is a now thirty-six year old woman who has navigated life's up and downs as a single woman. Most recently, she created an Instagram profile called Thirty Five and Five where she records her day-to-day life and progress in a five-year plan.
