What happens when your body forces you to slow down before your mind is ready? In this raw and unfiltered episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, Breeanna Kay shares the behind-the-scenes of navigating an autoimmune diagnosis while running a six-figure business. Instead of accepting the limitations handed to her, Bree pulled back the curtain on her health journey, revealing what really worked, what didn’t, and why trusting your intuition might be the most powerful form of medicine.

From questioning traditional healthcare to experimenting with functional medicine, holistic practices, and lifestyle shifts, Bree’s story is proof that you don’t have to choose between thriving in business and thriving in your body. You’ll hear how she's in the process of rebuilding her health by advocating for herself, digging deeper when doctors dismissed her, and making hard changes like eliminating gluten, dairy, and sugar (plus more!), while still growing her business on her own terms.

If you’ve ever felt ignored by the medical system, stuck in the cycle of burnout, or scared that your health is holding you back from chasing your big goals, this episode will show you another way forward.

• Functional medicine digs deeper into root causes that traditional tests can miss.

• Diet + lifestyle changes matter: Eliminating gluten, dairy, soy and processed sugar was a game-changer in managing autoimmune symptoms.

• Advocate for yourself: Your intuition and your own research can help you to ask for tests when doctors dismiss you.

• Holistic practices help regulate the body: from red light therapy to sauna sessions.

• AI vs. functional testing: Why personalized support often beats cookie-cutter results.

Notable Quotes:

• "My body wasn't functioning the way that it was supposed to, I knew that."

• "Please advocate for yourself and do your own research."

• "The cool thing about the minerals test is that there are different ratios that show how well your organ systems are functioning."

Ever wonder why you can hit milestone after milestone… and still feel empty?

Or why burnout keeps creeping in no matter how much you achieve?

In this episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, I sit down with Marina O’Connor to unpack the psychology of entrepreneurship — and how the business you’re building is a direct reflection of your inner world.

Marina shares her raw story of burning out in the entrepreneurial fast lane, walking away from external validation, and stepping into a career that finally felt aligned. Together, we dig into the hidden forces that drive ambition — self-worth, childhood experiences, and the sneaky patterns that keep entrepreneurs stuck chasing achievement while ignoring what they truly want.

Marina is a psychotherapist and former venture-capital-backed entrepreneur who knows firsthand the high highs and low lows of building a business. Today, she’s the founder of Unspoken, a mental health academy supporting entrepreneurs and leaders. With over a decade spent bridging psychology and entrepreneurship, Marina helps high achievers break the cycle of burnout and self-sabotage by uncovering the inner world that shapes their outer success.

If you’ve ever tied your identity to your business, struggled with self-sabotage, or wondered why success doesn’t feel the way you thought it would… this episode will be a game-changer.

• Why understanding your “why” is the key to lasting fulfillment in business.

• How chasing external validation leads to burnout — and what to do instead.

• The role of past experiences and trauma in shaping entrepreneurial ambition.

• Why self-awareness is the biggest investment you can make in your business.

• How to align your business with your values so success actually feels good.
  
  

Notable Quotes:

• "The business you are building is literally a reflection of your own inner world and your own psychology."
• "The issue is when those achievements become the only measurement of one's worth."
• "Entrepreneurship is the best mirror into oneself, understanding who you are and what drives you."
• "For me, success has just been changing throughout my career, through different life chapters."
• "Understanding your own psychology and how you can screw it up for yourself is the biggest investment you can make."

REBEL CEO PODCAST SHOWNOTES: breeannakay.com/depression-to-purpose

Be honest… when your house is a mess, does your brain feel like it’s on overload too? 🙋‍♀️ Same, girl. And here’s the kicker—your clutter isn’t just about messy counters or that chair full of laundry. It’s a mirror of what’s happening inside of you, and yep, it can be the very thing holding back your next level of business success.

Clutter = distraction. It drains your energy, clouds your focus, and literally blocks you from showing up as the badass CEO you’re meant to be.

In this episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, I (Breeanna Kay) sit down with psychologist, coach, and soon-to-be-published author Kate Evans to talk about the deep connection between your mental state, your home, and your success as an entrepreneur.

Kate’s upcoming book, Ditch Your Sh*t: Decluttering Your Mindset to Declutter Your Home, dives into why traditional decluttering methods don’t stick and how the real work starts with your mindset and emotions. She brings a unique blend of psychology, coaching, and yogic wisdom to help you clear the mental and emotional blocks keeping you stuck in clutter (both physically and energetically).

Inside this episode, you’ll learn why unresolved wounds can show up as piles of clutter, how to shift your mindset for lasting change, and how creating simple systems in your home can free up energy to scale your business. I even share how decluttering my own space created more focus and flow in my business.

If you’re ready to create more space for what you actually want in life, this conversation will change the way you look at your home, your habits and your business.

*** CLICK HERE TO LOCK IN A FREE 1:1 SOUL STRATEGY MINI READING WITH BREE (based on astrology, numerology + human design only available for 2 weeks) ***

• Clutter is often tied to unresolved emotional issues—and it can sabotage your business and well-being.

• Decluttering starts with your mindset, not just your closet.

• Systems and habits like routine resets + habit stacking keep your space clear without overwhelm.

• Minimalism isn’t the only answer—it’s about surrounding yourself with things that align with the life you want to create.

• Making room for what’s next often requires letting go of old stuff, old beliefs and even old relationships.

Notable Quotes:

• "If your mindset is messy, then your home will be too." — Kate Evans

• "Clutter is really the result of something emotional. And no one really wants to deal with that." — Kate Evans

• "When you clear out space, both physically and energetically, new things can come in." — Breeanna Kay

• "Finding who you are, what your purpose in life is, is not going to be found by hiding behind just diving into one thing."— Kate Evans

• "It's amazing the shift that you can make when you actually declutter at a deep level." — Kate Evans

You’re exhausted, doing 10 jobs in one, and still feel like your business is running you. Hiring help hasn’t fixed it—maybe it’s even made things worse.

Hiring doesn’t always mean less stress... or more growth. 

If you’re a founder feeling stuck under the weight of your own business, this episode is your blueprint for building a team that actually moves the needle.

Breeanna Kay sits down with Amy Burch, e-commerce team-building expert and founder of She’s a CEO, to uncover how strategic leadership and purpose-driven teams can transform your business—and your life.

Amy is a seasoned entrepreneur and leadership strategist who knows exactly how to scale product-based businesses without burning out the founder. On this episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, she shares how to shift from hiring for help to building a team with capabilities that propel your company forward.

Bree and Amy dive into the realities founders face: you can hire all day, but if your team isn’t aligned, workload stress never goes away. Amy explains how to set clear objectives, build intrinsic motivation, and create teams that understand their role in your bigger vision.

Whether you’re scaling an e-commerce business, building a service-based company, or simply ready to stop doing it all yourself, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to grow revenue, boost team performance, and reclaim your freedom.

• Shift from Assistance to Capability: Move beyond hiring people to help you—build teams that drive measurable results.

• Emphasize Role Importance: Every position is vital; when your team succeeds, your business thrives.

• Establish Clear Objectives: Align quarterly team goals with your company’s annual vision for ownership and accountability.

• Creating Intrinsic Motivation: Build a purpose-driven environment where every team member knows their work matters.

• Pursue Work-Life Balance Now: Don’t wait for higher revenue—structure your business today to support the lifestyle you want.

Notable Quotes:

• "Founders hire people to help them, but what they should focus on is building capability and capacity outside themselves." 

• "If your staff members are succeeding in their roles, the byproduct is your business will succeed."

• "It doesn’t matter what the role is, if that role wasn't important, you wouldn't have it in your business. So treat it as such." 

• "Intrinsic motivation is not ping pong tables and beanbags; it's about creating purpose within your team." 

• "Growth is not the answer to Freedom; if you don’t create the business you want now, it won’t change when you reach higher revenue points."

In this episode, Bree and Amy break down exactly how to create high-performing, growth-centric teams while prioritizing leadership that nurtures rather than controls. For entrepreneurs ready to scale their business without sacrificing freedom, this conversation is pure gold.

If “success” means burnout, anxiety, and questioning why you even started this business in the first place… that’s not success. That’s a slow death of your passion.

You didn’t start your business to follow a bunch of outdated rules written by people who don’t even live the life you want.

In this episode of the Rebel CEO Podcast, I sit down with Elysia Skye—intuitive guide, speaker, and founder of The Brilliance Method—to spill the truth about building a business that fuels you instead of drains you.

Elysia’s story will blow you away. She’s worked with brands like Oprah, L'Oréal and Sony, managed major Hollywood events, and hosted international speaking engagements. But her greatest turning point? The intuitive nudge that led to a cancer diagnosis (and ultimately, saved her life).

We go deep into:

• The balance between intention, aligned action, and structure in business

• How to use your intuition as your best business strategy

• Why identifying hidden emotions—yes, even anger—can unlock your next level of success

• Letting go of vanity metrics so you can focus on genuine connection and impact

This is a must-listen for any heart-led entrepreneur who’s ready to ditch outdated business rules, step fully into their power, and create a business that’s as authentic as it is profitable.

• • Trust your inner voice—even when external experts say otherwise

  • Success comes from alignment, not overwork

  • Your emotions hold clues to your next business breakthrough

  • Real growth happens when you focus on connection over clout

Notable Quotes:

• "Intuition is the path to our highest truth, and taking aligned action with integrity fuels everything that we do."

• "When you release the shackles of what really we put on ourselves, you are free."

• "Be the lighthouse, not the lifesaver."

• "If you won $450 million and you never actually had to make another penny ever again, how would you spend your time?"
