What if the reason you keep asking "Is this it?" isn't because you need a different life but because you've slowly disappeared from your own?

You can be grateful for your life and still feel restless, disconnected, or like something is missing. In this episode, I'm talking about self-abandonment, people-pleasing, motherhood, identity, and what happens when we get so used to taking care of everyone else that we stop asking ourselves what we actually want.

I share a personal story from planning an event in Las Vegas and the moment I realized I was choosing what was easiest for everyone else instead of what I wanted.

You don't need to blow up your life to feel like yourself again.

Sometimes, you simply need to start asking: What do I want?

If you've been feeling stuck, burned out, restless, or disconnected from yourself, this episode is your reminder that you don't need a crisis to choose yourself.

What if you know you're worthy but you still don't feel worthy?

You can say "I am enough" a hundred times and still feel the pressure to prove yourself, please everyone, achieve more, or become someone "better" before you believe you deserve love, belonging, and acceptance.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Marisa G. Franco, New York Times bestselling author of Platonic and author of Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment, for a deeply honest conversation about self-worth, self-esteem, shame, people-pleasing, perfectionism, burnout, and secure attachment.

We explore why trying harder to feel worthy can actually keep us stuck and how our nervous system, memories, relationships, and deeply held beliefs about ourselves shape the way we experience worth.

In our conversation, we unpack:

• Why you can know you're enough but still struggle to feel worthy • How hyperachievement, perfectionism, and people-pleasing can become ways of seeking validation • The "feel-heal-do" framework for working with difficult emotions • Why shaming your insecurities can actually reinforce them • How secure attachment changes the way we experience ourselves and our relationships • The difference between healthy self-esteem and self-esteem that depends on proving yourself • How memory reconsolidation can help us update painful emotional patterns • Why old memories and emotional triggers can make the past feel present • How to stop abandoning yourself in the pursuit of approval, achievement, or acceptance

Dr. Franco brings together psychology, neuroscience, self-esteem research, attachment theory, and emotional healing to offer a different way of thinking about worth: you don't have to fix yourself into becoming worthy.

If you've ever struggled with low self-esteem, self-doubt, shame, people-pleasing, perfectionism, burnout, or the feeling that you're never doing enough, I think this conversation will give you a deeper understanding of where those patterns come from and how you can begin building genuine self-trust from the inside out.

You don't have to earn your worth. You can learn to feel it. Connect with Dr. Franco:

The life you say you want is already being measured by the one you're actually living.

If your words, calendar, relationships, and habits don't match, this episode will call you out in the most useful way possible and show you how to start closing the gap today.

In this episode of To the Core, I'm getting real about integrity, confidence, self-trust, authenticity, alignment, and personal growth.

I recorded this one from my kitchen at 6 a.m., but the message is razor-sharp: integrity is the real foundation of confidence.

Not perfection. Not pretending. Not having every area of your life mastered.

I'm unpacking why so many women know the language of growth — boundaries, alignment, authenticity, discipline, purpose — without actually practicing it in real life.

• Why living in integrity matters more than saying all the right things online
• The difference between announcement energy and actual becoming
• How confidence is built through evidence, not affirmations alone
• A simple 7-day self-audit to reveal what your life is really prioritizing
• The gap between your front stage and backstage, and how to shrink it
• Why trust with yourself is the first step to real confidence
• How your everyday habits and choices shape your identity
• What happens when your words and actions stop matching

I also challenge some of the common ways we drift out of alignment — saying family is a priority while giving it the scraps of our time, claiming our health matters while constantly negotiating against it, or talking about building a business while consuming everyone else's work instead of creating our own.

Because here's the reminder: your life is always telling the truth, even when your mouth isn't.

This episode is for the woman who's tired of performative growth and ready to become someone her own actions can back up.

If you've ever wondered why confidence still feels out of reach, this conversation points straight to the answer: self-trust is built by giving yourself evidence that you can believe you.

Before you move on, grab one piece of evidence today that the woman you say you are is the woman you're becoming.

What happens when the life you worked so hard to create looks good from the outside—but no longer feels right on the inside?

I had such a great conversation with Kim Costa, a top 5% Atlanta Realtor, author of Live in Your Wheelhouse, speaker, and creator of the Wheelhouse Method, about what it means to recognize when you've outgrown a life that once felt like the dream.

Kim shares the wake-up call that changed everything—from a beautiful 40-acre property that looked perfect on paper to realizing it was quietly draining her. After a life-altering back injury forced her to slow down and reevaluate, Kim began making intentional choices about her home, habits, relationships, and next chapter.

She also opens up about why she once said no to the Oprah Winfrey Show while recovering in a walker, what that season taught her about listening to herself, and how she ultimately rebuilt her life one intentional choice at a time.

We talk about the difference between gratitude and alignment, recognizing when you've outgrown a life that once felt right, and how your environment can influence the person you're becoming. Kim also shares her Wheelhouse Method and the intentional shifts that helped her stop waiting for "someday" and start creating a life she truly loves now.

If you've ever looked around at your life and thought, "I'm grateful, but this doesn't feel like me anymore," this conversation is for you.

For women navigating transition, reinvention, or a season of becoming, Kim's story is a reminder that you don't have to throw everything away to create something more aligned.

Sometimes, the next chapter begins with simply being willing to ask: Does the life I'm living still fit the woman I've become?

So grab a cup of coffee, get comfortable, and join us for this conversation. Press play and let's explore what it might look like to create a life that truly feels like yours.

Hey Revitalized Womanhood listeners! Today on To the Core, I am getting real about what happens when you stop trying to convince people who aren't ready—and start building for the women who already feel the pull.

This episode was sparked by a conversation about women hesitating over an event ticket, but the deeper conversation is about so much more: readiness, pricing, conviction, and learning to trust what you're creating.

I'm talking about why "not yet" is not the same as "no," why someone's hesitation isn't proof that your offer is wrong, and what happens when we take someone else's uncertainty personally. There's a difference between listening to feedback and letting someone else's hesitation pull you away from your vision.

I also get personal about my own community, the realities of pricing, and what it means to create a room that transforms the people who are truly ready to step into it. Because the goal isn't to convince everyone to come. It's to create something so aligned that the right women feel unmistakably seen by it.

And this isn't just about business. I connect this lesson to coaching, friendship, motherhood, and the people we love but cannot force to grow.

If you're an entrepreneur, coach, creator, or simply a woman standing at the edge of a decision you keep explaining your way out of, this episode is for you.

Because growth has a cost, yes but so does staying exactly where you are.

And when the timing is right, I want you to be ready to say yes without needing to justify it to anyone.

You don't need permission to become someone new.

But sometimes, becoming the next version of yourself means letting go of the version everyone else already knows.

In this episode, I sit down with Ati Grinspun for a raw, honest conversation about reinvention, visibility, identity, and what it really takes to stop hiding.

What begins as a conversation about personal branding quickly becomes something much deeper: Who are you when you stop performing for everyone else? What happens when you let yourself evolve? And how do you build a life that actually feels like yours?

Ati shares what she's learned through reinventing herself, building businesses, stepping into visibility, and choosing to go first—even when she didn't have all the answers.

Ati is an acclaimed Personal Branding and Business Coach who empowers female entrepreneurs to reach their first $100K and beyond. As the founder of the Be You Brand movement, Academy, and book series, she helps women simplify visibility and build businesses rooted in who they truly are.

This conversation is a reminder that confidence doesn't come from waiting until you feel ready. It comes from being willing to move, experiment, be seen, and trust yourself along the way.

So, if you've been feeling the pull toward something new but keep waiting for the right time, more clarity, or someone to tell you it's okay—this episode is for you.

You don't need to become someone else.

You just need the courage to become more of who you already are. Connect with Ati:

Hey Revitalized Womanhood listeners! Today on To the Core, I am getting real about overthinking, avoidance, and what it takes to finally move forward.

We often convince ourselves that more thinking, more information, and more preparation will lead to better decisions. But sometimes, overthinking is simply a way of avoiding the uncertainty that comes with taking action.

In this episode, I'm sharing candid stories from my own life and unpacking the fear, self-doubt, and information overload that can keep us stuck on the sidelines of our own lives. Whether you're thinking about joining a community, starting a business, going back to school, or simply taking the first step toward a goal, you don't need perfect certainty to move forward.

If you've been waiting to feel "ready," this episode is your reminder to stop postponing your life and start building it—one step at a time.

Because confidence isn't knowing everything will work out. It's trusting yourself with whatever comes next.

Listen to this episode and ask yourself: What's one thing I've been overthinking that I'm ready to finally take action on?

Hey Revitalized Womanhood listeners!

What if the woman smiling at you, sitting across from you, or telling you she's "fine" is carrying a story you could never imagine?

I'm so excited to share this incredible conversation with you! Joining me today is Kelsey Billingsley, creator and host of the award-winning Unspoken Lives podcast, a space built around one powerful idea: there is always more to someone's story than what we can see.

Kelsey has made it her mission to bring the hidden stories of ordinary people into the light. As a wife, mother of three, and full-time software sales professional, she started her podcast from scratch after feeling a persistent calling to create a place where people could share the experiences that often go unspoken.

In this conversation, Kelsey shares the unexpected encounter with a "normal" mom whose story of war, loss, and survival completely changed the way she sees people and reminded her that we rarely know what someone is carrying behind a smile.

We talk about following a calling before you feel ready, overcoming imposter syndrome, the fear of being seen, and the tension so many women feel between living a stable life and pursuing something deeper.

Kelsey also shares why sometimes one more question can change everything and how creating a safe, coffee-chat-style space can give people permission to finally tell the stories they've been carrying.

I open up about my own experience with postpartum depression and how hearing another woman honestly share her story gave me the language to recognize and understand my own healing journey.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that your story doesn't have to be extraordinary to matter and you never know who might need to hear it.

If you've ever felt unseen, wondered whether your story matters, or found yourself hiding parts of your life behind "I'm fine," this episode is for you.

So grab your coffee and join us for a deeply honest conversation about the stories we carry, the courage it takes to share them, and how one person's vulnerability can become another person's hope.

Hey Revitalized Womanhood listeners! Today on To the Core, I am challenging the idea that you need more information before you can move forward.

We can spend so much time learning, researching, planning, and waiting for the "right" moment that we forget to actually live. In this episode, I'm talking about the ways our comfort zones can quietly negotiate us out of the very lives we say we want—and why real growth begins when we stop waiting for everything to feel perfect.

Through personal stories and reflections on motherhood, identity, accountability, gratitude, and ambition, I'm inviting you to ask yourself a better question:

What do I already know that I'm refusing to act on?

Becoming the woman you want to be won't always be convenient. But self-trust isn't built by thinking about change—it's built by keeping the small promises you make to yourself and taking the next right step.

If you've been overthinking, over-researching, or waiting for life to calm down, this episode is your loving nudge forward.

You don't need more information. You need to start living.

Hey Revitalized Womanhood listeners!

I'm so excited to share this incredible conversation with you! Joining me today is Cherie Hoeger, Co-founder and CEO of Saalt, a women-owned B Corp creating sustainable period care products that are changing the way women think about their periods—and building a business with purpose along the way.

Cherie's story is about so much more than building an eight-figure brand and getting Saalt onto shelves at Target, Walmart, Amazon, and beyond. It's about creating a life that actually fits the woman you want to be.

As a mother of six and a successful entrepreneur, Cherie has built her approach around intentionality rather than trying to achieve the impossible idea of "work-life balance." We talk about what it really looks like to pursue ambitious goals while raising a family, nurturing your marriage, protecting your time, and staying connected to yourself.

Cherie shares the framework she created from Essentialism and The Miracle Morning, the 90-minute morning routine she developed while raising six children, and the powerful moment an Oprah quote changed the way she thought about dreaming bigger.

We also dive into the story behind Saalt—from the conversation with family in Venezuela that sparked the idea, to the challenges and burnout that came with major growth, and the perspective shift that helped Cherie stop asking, "How do I do it all?" and start asking, "How do I design a life that works for me?"

Cherie also opens up about motherhood, ambition, guilt, purpose, and why women shouldn't feel guilty for wanting more.

If you've ever felt caught between building something meaningful and being present for the people you love, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to choose between ambition and a fulfilling life.

You can build a business. You can be a mother. You can have big dreams. And you can still be you.

This episode is for women who are ready to stop chasing balance and start creating a life that actually fits.
