Shayna Naus sits with me and tells the truth about the rule she burned you do not need a society approved real job to be worthy.

You've only got one life. Do it.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, I sit down with the trailblazing Judith Hull a litigator, writer, and contemplative introvert who's spent nearly 30 years in the legal field not playing by the old-school rules.

From hanging with the boys in a male-dominated courtroom to buying a beach house on a total whim (spoiler alert: the Universe knew exactly what she needed), Judith shares how she's slowly burned down the old paradigm of hustle, over-identification, and traditional success and built something wildly more aligned.

We talk about:

• Why success in law almost swallowed her whole

• Her full-body "nope" to the legal grind and what came next

• Letting go of performative leadership and claiming her real voice

• Mediation, morning pages, and lake swims as acts of rebellion

• The resistance (internal and external) that shows up when we dare to change

• Saying no with grace, and why that's the most radical thing she's learning to do

This episode is a call to anyone teetering on the edge of is this really it? It's a permission slip to opt out, take up space, and remember that this isn't a dress rehearsal.

Key quotes from Judith:

"The more I let go of it, the easier it became to own it." "It wasn't burnout overnight—it was a slow burn in coming." "I'm not signing trust cheques at 80. I've got more to offer than that."

Whether you're a woman in law or a high-achiever in any field—this one's for the you who knows deep down: it's time to burn the rulebook and rewrite the script.

Burn the Rulebook Episode 4 gave me the opportunity to have a raw, heart-opening conversation with Julie Boyd therapist, social worker, and author of Bare Bones and Divinely Badass for a soul-stirring discussion on healing, sobriety, and the messy magic of reclaiming your life from old roles and patterns.

Key Takeaways:

• Sobriety & Simplicity: Julie shares how quitting drinking three years ago cracked her wide open, bringing clarity and anchoring her into peace, heart-centered living, and radical honesty. What once felt like boredom was actually the sensation of peace.

• Burning the People-Pleaser: She unapologetically calls out the layers of people-pleasing and how it stems from early conditioning. Julie names the shift from sacrifice to true service and reflects on how she had to stop betraying herself to be liked or accepted.

• Real Talk on Resistance: Together, Misty and Julie challenge the concept of "resistance," exploring whether it's truly resistance or just limited capacity. Julie breaks down how perfectionism and performance keep women stuck in cycles of burnout and self-abandonment.

• Embodied Therapy & Nervous System Wisdom: Julie describes her unique approach to healing that blends talk therapy with somatic practices, yoga, and energy work. She guides her clients to befriend their nervous systems, connect to their hearts, and lead with self-compassion.

• Reclaiming Your Life After Rupture: Julie opens up about pivotal moments that cracked her open from a suicide attempt at 14, to leaving harmful relationships, to hitting rock bottom with a DUI that led her to write Bare Bones. She shares what it means to write from the rawness and live without numbing.

• Divinely Badass Women: Her second book Divinely Badass features interviews with women over 40 about what success really means. Spoiler alert: it's never about money or fame. It's about truth, love, community, and connection.

• Simple Sacred Practices: Julie emphasizes the power of small daily rituals. Her tip? Stay in bed for five minutes each morning. Breathe. Ask your heart: What's one thing I can do to fill my cup today? That's where soulful leadership starts.

💬 Soul Truth Drop: "I had to stop performing and start listening to my own damn heart. That's where the truth lives." – Julie Boyd

📚 Books Mentioned and available on Amazon:

• Bare Bones: Secrets, Lies, and Substances

• Divinely Badass

From Rule-Follower to Soul-Led CEO with Becky Keen

What happens when the life you worked so hard to build starts suffocating your soul?

In this episode of the Soulful Success Podcast, I sit down with the powerful and magnetic Becky Keen, a former marine regulatory expert turned intuitive business coach, to talk about what it really looks like to burn the rulebook and rebuild a life that actually feels like yours.

Becky shares her raw, courageous story from climbing the corporate ranks in oil and gas, to the moment she realized she was literally selling her soul for a number. What followed was a full-body awakening, a spiritual reckoning, and a wild leap into the unknown.

We dive into:

• The moment she walked away from a six-figure offer… with no backup plan

• How a near-fatal car crash cracked her open (and saved her)

• Why she believes the cost of waiting is far greater than the risk of leaping

• The inner resistance that shows up when we start to untangle from who we think we should be

• How she rebuilt her life and business from soul up and helps other women do the same

Becky doesn't sugarcoat a damn thing and neither do I. This conversation is a deep remembering. A reminder that you don't need permission to want more. You just need to trust the whisper in your body and take the next breath.

Press play if you're ready to: → Let go of the titles, expectations, and shoulds → Reclaim the wild, curious woman you were before the world told you to shrink → Feel what it's like when your soul takes the mic and your ego finally sits down

Connect with Becky:

• Website: beckykeen.com

• Instagram: @beck_keen

• Join the Powerhouse Collective or check out her digital shop

• Ask her about Powerhouse Live in Halifax this October (Misty will be there too!)

If this conversation stirred something in you… good. It's meant to. Tag us on IG, send it to the woman who needs to hear it, and don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss the next one.

Because your soul? She's the boss now.

In this powerful episode of Burn the Rulebook, I sit down with Kathryn Spears is a Neuro Somatic Intelligence Practitioner and Director of Marketing & Communications at NeuroSomatic Intelligence

Kathryn shares her story of surviving trauma in the workplace and how her body eventually forced her to slow down. We dive into the moment she realized she was outsourcing her worth, over-functioning for validation, and playing by rules that were never written for her healing or success.

This is a deeply honest conversation about reclaiming safety in your body, setting boundaries without apology, and choosing to lead with softness after living in survival mode for far too long.

Whether you've walked through burnout, betrayal, or the slow unraveling of the roles that kept you small this episode is for you.

🔥 What We Talked About:

• The trauma Kathryn experienced and how her career kept her from creating space to be connected to her body and emotions.

• Rebuilding safety in the body through slowness, breath, and presence

• The myth of resilience and what real power looks like after trauma

• Learning to sit with the discomfort of being seen, soft, and still

• Why rule-breaking sometimes looks like doing less and resting more

In the first episode of Burn the Rulebook, Misty sits down with Angie Ross, certified cash flow specialist and financial educator, who traded the rigid systems of traditional education for soulful, values-aligned money coaching. Angie doesn't just talk numbers—she talks freedom.

From unpacking money shame and ditching performative success, to sharing her real-life pivot out of a 20-year teaching career, Angie opens up about what it really takes to listen to your body, trust your inner guidance, and create a life and business that actually feels good.

If you've ever felt stuck in a life that looks "successful" but feels empty, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, check in, and reimagine what's possible.

🔥 What We Talked About:

• Angie's personal money story: from wasting $2k/month to intentional cash flow freedom

• How burnout and vertigo became messengers for change

• Releasing shame and reclaiming vulnerability as a strength

• Why identity shifts are often the hardest part of transformation

• The deeper truth: money isn't about dollars, it's about choice

• What Angie wants every woman to know before she makes a big leap

💡 Standout Quotes: "I realized I was spending to avoid listening to myself." "Money isn't about money — it's about the choices it gives you." "My body gives me clues before I'm ready to hear them." "I burned the rulebook on being the 'perfect teacher'—even when I was good at it." 📲 Connect with Angie Ross:
