So many women in health and wellness feel torn between their calling and the constraints of their model—stuck trying to serve more people without burning out, or hesitating to take the leap into something bigger because it doesn't look like what they were trained to do.

In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Dr. Meghan Walker—former naturopathic doctor turned entropologist, speaker, strategist, and mentor for practitioner-entrepreneurs—for a powerful conversation about purpose-driven leadership, sustainable impact, and why resilience—not perfection—is the most important skill we can build.

Meghan shares how her own evolution—from 1:1 clinician to founder, speaker, and business mentor—was shaped not by having all the answers, but by staying relentlessly committed to the mission: to get root-cause medicine into the hands of millions. Together, we unpack what it really means to lead with purpose, pivot with integrity, and grow something that reflects the life you actually want.

This is a conversation about creating your own terms, building trust in your vision, and releasing the pressure to do it all. Because you don't need to follow someone else's path—you need to own yours.

Here's what you'll take away from this episode:

✨ Mission over model

✨ How to grow a business that reflects your values

✨ The truth about imposter syndrome

✨ Why resilience matters more than a perfect strategy

✨ Letting go of perfection and leading with honesty

If you've ever felt torn between your current role and your bigger vision—or if you're ready to stop doing it the "right" way and start doing it your way—this episode will remind you that you're not behind. You're building something bold.

For many women, stress doesn't come from one moment or mistake—it builds quietly in the relentless pace, the invisible expectations, and the pressure to keep performing and holding it all together. Over time, "just keep going" becomes the default, leaving little room to notice what's actually driving you—or what your body has been trying to say.

In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sat down with Dr. Ellen Wong, a naturopathic doctor and expert in high-functioning anxiety, for a grounded, honest conversation about what happens when perfectionism becomes your baseline and the cost of constantly chasing "enough."

Dr. Ellen Wong and I talk about the toll of negative self-talk, the invisible pressure to do it all, and the physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms that so many women write off as "normal." But this conversation isn't just about stress—it's about learning to interrupt the patterns that are keeping you stuck and building real tools for clarity, calm, and self-trust.

Here's what you'll take away from this episode:

✨ What high-functioning anxiety actually looks like—and why it often goes unnoticed ✨ Why many successful women ignore the warning signs of burnout ✨ How overachievement becomes a coping mechanism—and how to break the cycle ✨ The real impact of perfectionism on your energy, identity, and health ✨ What it means to shift from survival mode to sustainable leadership

If you've ever looked around and thought, "I've done everything I was supposed to—but something still feels off," this episode will remind you: you're not broken. And you're not behind. You're ready to build something deeper—starting with yourself.

That voice in your head that says, "I should be further along by now"? It's louder than ever—and it's lying to you.

In this solo episode of She Has The Audacity, I'm unpacking this pressure so many of us carry: the belief that progress has a schedule and if we are not meeting it we are failing. Thinking we should be further ahead, more accomplished, more certain, less messy.

Whether you're building a business, navigating motherhood, reimagining your career, or simply trying to keep up with your own expectations—this episode is here to interrupt that noise. Because you're not behind. You're not broken. You're not late.

With honesty and compassion I'm unpacking how the "I should be further ahead" story gets in the way of purpose, confidence, and presence—and how to start rewriting it.

Here's what you'll take away from this episode: ✨ Rewriting the "I'm behind" story ✨ Navigating comparison in a hyper-visible world ✨ How self-talk shapes your experience of success ✨ Making decisions from trust instead of pressure ✨ Honouring your season, your pace, and your path

This episode is a reminder that your path doesn't need to look like anyone else's to be powerful. You're not behind. You're already becoming.

We hear a lot about balance—as if it's a destination we're all supposed to reach. But for many women navigating leadership, motherhood, business, partnership, and personal growth, balance isn't about doing everything. It's about holding what matters—without losing yourself in the process.

In this solo episode of She Has The Audacity, I'm unpacking the tension behind this idea of "balancing it all." Not to add more pressure, but to release some. Because I don't believe balance is about perfect time management or constant optimization. It's about making intentional choices, protecting what's essential, and being honest about your season of life.

I share ten of the strategies and mindset shifts that are helping me right now—not because I've figured it all out, but because I'm practicing. And that's really what this is: an invitation to practice.

Here's what you'll take away from this episode:

✨ Redefining balance on your terms

✨ The power of self-talk in creating flow

✨ How to use time intentionally

✨ What's draining you vs. fueling you

✨ Why asking for help isn't a weakness

This episode is about creating space—for yourself, your work, your people, and your purpose—without needing to do it all to be enough. You don't need a perfect system. You just need space to keep choosing what matters.

What if the greatest barrier to reproductive health wasn't access—but silence?

In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Samantha Diamond—CEO and co-founder of Bird&Be—for a timely, compassionate, and deeply personal conversation about fertility, proactive care, and the quiet shame so many women carry when their bodies don't follow the expected timeline.

Samantha shares her own experience navigating PCOS, pregnancy loss, and the overwhelming confusion that followed. Even with unprecedented access to care—her partner, now husband, was an OBGYN in training at the time—she still found herself in the dark, piecing together information from conflicting sources, outdated advice, and the overwhelming pressure to "bounce back" or try again.

That experience led her to co-create Bird&Be; a company rooted in evidence-based supplements, accessible testing, and compassionate education designed to give people the tools and knowledge they deserve—before they need them.

But this conversation isn't just about supplements or science.

It's about what happens when we stop waiting for a crisis to care for our bodies. It's about what it means to integrate wellbeing into our everyday lives—not just in service of fertility, but in honor of our whole selves. And it's about letting go of the pressure to do it all, and instead, asking: what would it feel like to do what matters, and do it well?

Here's what you'll take away from this episode:

✨ Why fertility care needs to start earlier

✨ PCOS is common—and treatable

✨ Supplements as part of the puzzle

✨ Beyond hormones: whole-body health

✨ The myth of balance

This episode is a reminder that your body is not a project to be fixed. Fertility is not a race. And health—true health—starts with being informed, resourced, and supported before the crisis, not after.

True health isn't about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions, it's about finding the practices that bring your body, mind, and spirit into alignment.

In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Laurence Froidevaux, chiropractor, plant-based nutrition expert, holistic health advocate, and author of Ma cuisine végétale—for an inspiring conversation about resilience, nourishment, and the power of small, consistent choices.

Laurence's story is as personal as it is professional. From growing up overweight and struggling with self-worth to navigating heartbreak that pushed her to reimagine her life, she shares how her challenges became the foundation for a career devoted to helping others thrive. Her path took her from medical studies in Switzerland, to chiropractic training in New York to building Plantastique, her platform dedicated to helping people transition to plant-based eating in a way that's practical, nourishing, and sustainable.

Together, we explore what it means to integrate movement, medicine, and mindful nutrition and why health is never just about your body, but about how you live, what you believe, and the choices you make daily.

Here's what you'll take away from this episode: ✨ How personal challenges can spark purpose and career direction ✨ Why healing isn't linear—and how setbacks can fuel growth ✨ The connection between nutrition, energy, and everyday wellbeing ✨ Practical insights on transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle without deprivation ✨ Why absolutes in health and diet don't work—and how to find what works for your body ✨ The role of mindset, self-compassion, and courage in shaping long-term health

Laurence's story is a reminder that health is not about perfection—it's about creating a life that supports you, body and mind. Her journey shows us that strength can grow from struggle, and that every small choice toward alignment creates lasting change.

We all love a good "before and after" story—the big wins, the glossy highlights, the polished endings. But what about everything in between?

In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I'm pulling back the curtain on the part no one talks about enough: the messy middle—that awkward, unpredictable, unglamorous space between setting a goal and achieving it.

Whether you're building a business, raising a family, or chasing a personal dream, the messy middle is where most of us spend the majority of our time. It's where resilience is built, where self-trust is forged, and where the life you're dreaming of is actually taking shape—one imperfect, beautiful step at a time.

With honesty, warmth, and a dose of tough love, I share why this "in-between" season matters more than the finish line, and how you can stop deferring joy until you "arrive." Because you're not on your way to becoming enough—you are enough right now.

Here's what you'll take away from this episode:

✨ Why the messy middle is the main event

✨ How to stop defining success only by metrics

✨ Micro-moments of joy—why they matter now

✨ Holding the paradox of wanting more and being grateful now

✨ Making decisions from your values, not your fears

If you've been feeling stuck in the in-between, like you're not "there" yet or you're failing at both business and life, this episode is your reminder: this is not wasted time. This is where the magic happens.

Leadership isn't about placement at the top of a hierarchy. It's about knowing your values and choosing integrity at each step. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I'm joined by Maureen Leshem, community leader and founder of the 482 Collective, for a compelling conversation about principled leadership, hard choices, and what it takes to speak up when staying silent might be easier.

Maureen shares the origin story of the 482 Collective, a grassroots initiative she built in response to the ways her community was failing women and families in crisis. And when she realized the spaces she once trusted no longer felt safe for Jewish women, she made the difficult decision to walk away from it all.

Together we talk about:

✨ How Maureen built a grassroots organization rooted in dignity-first care

✨ The internal reckoning that led her to step away from the community she helped build

✨ What accountability looks like in real time—and why it's often uncomfortable

✨ Why values-based leadership is about what you do when no one's watching

✨ How clarity, even when painful, can be the most powerful guide forward

Maureen's story is a reminder that you can lead with both heart and strength—and that walking away is sometimes the most powerful step forward.

This episode is a reminder that leadership isn't just about building—it's about knowing when to let go. It's about listening closely, acting boldly, and holding true to what matters most.

Success never looks like the version you planned, and that's exactly where the magic exists. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I'm joined by Dani Kagan—entrepreneur, speaker, and co-founder of Mave & Chez— for a thoughtful conversation about evolving identity, creative risk-taking, and building a business that feels just as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

From the ten years she spent running event-based businesses to navigating pregnancy, a pandemic, and a personal need for reinvention, Dani shares how she followed a quiet gut feeling into something completely new: co-founding the first-ever luxury ergonomic slipper brand for women.

This is a story about leaving behind what no longer fits, listening closely to the nudges that do, and learning how to lead with vision, clarity, and care.

Here's what we explore in this episode:

✨ The quiet but persistent signs that it's time to pivot—and what it takes to trust them ✨ Why reinvention doesn't need to be loud to be powerful ✨ How one phone call (and a shared frustration) led to a business idea with massive potential ✨ What it means to lead with intuition, not just ambition ✨ The difference between fear and resistance—and how to tell which one is speaking

Dani's journey offers a grounded look at what it means to build from alignment rather than urgency. Her insights remind us that you don't need to wait for certainty to get started—and that you're allowed to pursue something new, even when what you had was already good.

Simplifying how we nourish ourselves ensures more than saved time in the kitchen—it ensures we reclaim our energy in order to live fully.

This week on She Has The Audacity, Taylor Stinson—founder of The Girl on Bloor and creator of Dinner Prep Pro—shares the story behind her one-hour meal prep system and how it helped her build structure and introduce ease and sustainability into her life.

What began for Taylor as recovery from feeling burnt out from traditional Sunday meal preps evolved into a method that supports health and creativity without perfectionism. Taylor's journey highlights how smart systems can be acts of care—ones that open up space for joy, momentum, and nourishment on your own terms.

We talked about:

✨How simplifying her food routine gave Taylor more time, energy, and freedom

✨Why systems aren't about control—they're about clarity

✨How starting small can lead to massive momentum

✨Why structure can create space for creativity, care, and confidence

✨What it means to honor your time and energy without guilt

Taylor's story is a thoughtful, powerful invitation to care for yourself through rhythm and intention. Whether you're looking to cook more, create more, or simply breathe a little easier, her practical and compassionate approach shows how small shifts can create real, lasting ease.
