Savvy Sisters & Cocktail Conversations episodes

  • Avoidance Isn’t Laziness It’s Information
    What if you’re not lazy… you’re avoiding something for a reason?
    In this episode, Julie and Yvonne dig into what might really be hiding underneath avoidance—fear, overwhelm, perfectionism, misalignment, or maybe the fact that you just don’t want the damn thing anymore.
    We’re talking productive procrastination, screwing over your future self, and one question that might change everything:
    Is this discomfort I need to move through—or information I need to listen to?
    Stop judging yourself. Get curious. Read the damn message.

  • Difficult Conversations-Say the Thing!
    Difficult conversations aren’t scary because you “can’t handle them” — they’re scary because your inner critic is running her mouth, overthinking every angle, and convincing you the worst‑case scenario is basically guaranteed.
    In this episode, Julie and Yvonne break down why hard conversations feel so damn heavy, how fear and perfectionism hijack your confidence, and why waiting to “feel ready” is the fastest way to stay stuck. You’ll learn how to shut down the mental drama, stop comparing your insides to someone else’s outside, and take one courageous rep that builds real confidence — not the performative kind.
    If you’ve been avoiding a convo that needs to happen, this episode hands you the script, the stance, and the swagger to finally say the thing.

They share practical, evidence‑based strategies for strengthening your confidence muscle through small reps, courageous action, and borrowing belief from your future self.
    If you’re ready to stop performing confidence and start building it, this episode is your turning point.

  • The Woman They See… Versus the Woman You Are
    That woman who looks like she has all her shit together? Yeah…you might not know the half of it.
    Recorded live at The Edit by Elaine Turner during a Sip & Shop benefiting Power of the Purse, the annual event hosted by The Women’s Resource, Julie & Yvonne talk comparison, judgment, fabulous purses—and the stories we make up about women based on what we see.
    Because polished doesn’t mean problem-free.
    This one is about getting curious instead of judging, dropping the mean-girl shit, and remembering: we never really know what another woman is carrying.

  • Season 3: We Had Some Shit to Unpack
    Season 3 was basically one long intervention for accomplished women.
    In this episode we unpacked old identities, over-functioning, self-doubt, visibility, busy bullshit—and our complicated relationship with the word success.
    So for our Season 3 finale, we’re looking back at the biggest truth bombs, what we’ve learned ourselves, and one question for your next chapter:
    What do you need to release, trust, and redefine?
    Because maybe you don’t need to become more. Maybe it’s time to leave some shit behind.

  • Your Inner Critic is Drunk-Stop Letting Her Drive!
    Your inner critic has opinions — loud ones. She thinks you’re too much, not enough, unqualified, behind, and one bad decision away from ruining your entire life… but girl, she’s drunk.
    In this episode, Julie and Yvonne break down why that inner voice feels so convincing, how she weaponizes old evidence, and why we keep handing her the keys. They unpack the psychology behind imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and fear disguised as “responsibility,” and offer practical shifts to put your values, purpose, and future self back in the driver’s seat.
    If you’re ready to quiet the noise and lead with clarity, confidence, and truth — buckle up.

  • Your Intuition Called. Are You Listening?
    What if your next move doesn’t require another spreadsheet, five-year plan, or perfectly logical answer?
    In this episode, Julie & Yvonne get into the spiritual side of success—intuition, energy, faith, purpose, and those little whispers we’re really good at ignoring.
    Because success can look damn good on paper and still not feel right.
    Sometimes the next level isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about listening deeper—and trusting what you already know.

  • The Joy List: What We’re Into Right Now
    In this SSCC episode, Julie & Yvonne are sharing what’s filling their joy cups right now—from podcasts that make them laugh and think, to binge-worthy shows, favorite cocktails, and the little things that make life more fun.
    Because becoming your best self isn’t only about growth, goals, and accomplishment. Sometimes it’s about laughing harder, staying curious, sipping something you love, and actually enjoying the life you’re building.

  • The Invisible Weight Women Carry
    In this Savvy Sisters & Cocktail Conversations episode, Julie & Yvonne unpack the invisible weight so many women carry—the mental load, emotional labor, expectations, work, family, and everyone else’s problems.
    They get into why overwhelm can become part of our identity, why asking for help can feel so hard, and how to start deciding what is—and isn’t—yours to carry.
    Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is put something down.

  • The Art of Getting Unstuck
    Women don’t get stuck because we’re unmotivated — we get stuck because fear, perfectionism, regret, and old identity quietly run the show.
    In this episode, Julie and Yvonne break down the real reasons brilliant women freeze, why waiting for certainty keeps you looping, and how perfectionism disguises itself as “being responsible.” They also unpack the power of having a North Star — a clear anchor for your values and direction — so your decisions stop coming from old identity and start coming from alignment.
    Momentum begins with one aligned decision and one simple action. If you’re ready to move toward the woman you’re becoming, this episode is your turning point.
