September 02, 202575: Headshots & Hype Girls: Your Secret Confidence Weapon
"These photos are a tool for visibility & strategy..."
In this solo episode I dive into why regular branding photo shoots are so much more than just new headshots. Drawing from my recent trip to Scottsdale, I share how investing in professional photos not only boosts business visibility but also builds self-belief and confidence. I unpack the importance of surrounding yourself with supportive friends (AKA: hype girls!) who help you step outside your comfort zone and celebrate your wins. Whether for your website, social media, or personal growth, I show how branding photos are a powerful strategy for both your business and your mindset.
Key Takeaways:
Doing these photo shoots is such a huge confidence boost.
Your photos are often the first impression of your brand.
Investing in regular branding shoots is worth it.
Having a hype girl is a game changer.
Scheduling annual photo shoots is essential for visibility.
Surround yourself with people who lift you up.

August 19, 202572: Part 2: The Sacred Role of the Cycle Breaker
"You get to redefine your identity"
This week's episode is a follow-up to episode 70. I dive deeper into the topic of intergenerational trauma and the role of being a cycle breaker. I discuss the emotional reality of breaking generational cycles, unpacking the grief, sharing the identity shifts that occur, and inherited beliefs that often surface when healing intergenerational trauma, including the maternal wounds that showed up in my own family lineage. I share tools that I used in my own journey, that you too can attempt to access if you want to embark on this journey yourself. These tools include: hypnotherapy, reiki, shamanic healing, amongst others. I encourage you to have a strong 'why' behind doing this work and the power of honoring your lineage while still choosing differently for the future. This conversation offers encouragement, practical tools, and the reminder that you are NOT broken...you are a cycle breaker & THAT is an empowering title!
Key Take-aways:
Being a cycle breaker involves emotional costs, including grief.
Identity shifts can occur when breaking generational cycles.
Limiting beliefs about self-worth and productivity can be inherited.
Empowerment comes from redefining one's identity as a cycle breaker.
The journey of healing is both challenging and rewarding.
Honor your lineage while choosing differently for the future.
Emotional intelligence has evolved across generations.
Generational trauma can be broken by acknowledging it.
You are not broken; you are a cycle breaker.
Community support is vital in the healing process.

August 12, 202571: Building Rooted Pediatrics: Health, Community, & Mindset
"Trust Your Mom Gut..." --Brooke MacTaggart
This week I’m joined by my friend and our local functional pediatrician, Brooke MacTaggart, founder of Rooted Pediatrics. Rooted is located right here in Eastern Iowa! We dive into her journey of starting a practice that blends Western medicine with holistic approaches, the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship, and the importance of community support—especially in rural areas. Brooke shares her insights on functional medicine for children, the role of gut health in behavior and well-being, and why trusting your instincts as a parent is one of the most powerful things you can do. Whether you’re a parent, entrepreneur, or simply passionate about health/wellness, this conversation will inspire you to look deeper, think differently, and trust yourself more.
Key Takeaways:
Starting Rooted Pediatrics filled a significant gap in rural Eastern Iowa for pediatric care.
Functional medicine focuses on understanding the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms.
Personal development and mindset coaching can lead to significant transformations in business.
Functional medicine should be considered a basic healthcare approach for children.
Gut health plays a vital role in children's overall health and behavior.
Surrounding yourself with the right people can greatly influence your success as an entrepreneur.
Trusting your instincts as a parent is essential for your child's well-being.

August 05, 202570: Part 1: Breaking Generational Patterns: The Empowerment & The Weight
"Healed people heal people"
In this week's solo episode I dive into the topic of intergenerational trauma and what it truly means to be a cycle breaker. I share my own personal reflections as well as my own clinical insight to this topic. I explore how trauma can be passed down through generations—and how consciously choosing to break those cycles, while deeply empowering, can also feel heavy, lonely, and emotionally exhausting. I share my own lived experience, offering encouragement for those doing the heavy work, and provide practical tools/tips to support fellow cycle breakers (if that's you). Whether you've already chosen this path or are feeling called to begin this work, this episode will remind you of the strength it takes to heal and the impact it makes for generations to come.
Key takeaways:
Intergenerational trauma is unhealthy/toxic patterns that get passed down through generations.
Being a cycle breaker means consciously choosing to stop these unhealthy patterns.
Healing intergenerational trauma benefits not just the individual but future generations.
The journey of a cycle breaker can feel isolating and heavy at times.
Celebrate small wins in the healing process.
Professional support can enhance the healing experience.
Rest and self-care are essential during the healing journey.
Journal Prompts from the episode:
What cycles or patterns have I noticed in my family that I no longer want to carry forward?
What beliefs about myself or the world did I inherit and do they still serve me or do I need to release them?
What does being a cycle breaker mean to me personally?
Where do I still need to give myself grace in this journey?
Who or what can I lean on for support as I continue breaking cycles?

"Choosing you is never selfish"
I am getting personal and sharing the details of my transition back to work from maternity leave including all the emotions tied to it and how I am attempting to get back into a consistent routine. When I say routine, I mean my health and wellness habits that I was consistently incorporating into my days prior to Augie joining our family. I share some of my reflections on motherhood, identity shifts, and personal growth. I also encourage listeners to find balance between all the roles they carry while navigating major life changes. I share the nature of how our routines evolve and why self-care isn't just important--it's essential.
Whether you're a new mom, navigating your own season of transition, or simply working to reconnect with yourself, this episode is an invitation to embrace flexibility, honor your changing identity, and remember: choosing yourself is not selfish--it's necessary.
