  • The Confidence Gap: Why Women Struggle to Speak Up

    What if the thing standing between you and your most powerful, authoritative self is simply that no one ever taught you how to use your voice?

    In this episode of Supergene Unleashed, Stacy sits down with Josh McCartney, Dubai's leading public speaking coach, two-time TEDx speaker, and founder of School of Life, a training community that has helped over a thousand professionals find their voice on stage, in the boardroom, and online. Josh was once so shy he would lock himself in his room to avoid family reunions. Today he has coached everyone from Fortune 500 teams to first-time speakers, and he has sat across from both men and women long enough to know exactly what holds each of them back.

    This is not a conversation about breathing exercises or practicing in front of a mirror. Stacy and Josh go deep and direct on the real patterns Josh has witnessed in years of coaching women, what women are doing that they do not even realize is costing them, and the honest truth about how men and women approach public speaking differently. They get into why women shrink their voices and what that signals to a room before they even finish a sentence, the critical difference between sounding loud and sounding authoritative, why speaking before you feel ready may be the single most important thing you can do, and how the assumptions people form the moment you walk in the door are either confirmed or shattered the second you open your mouth.

    They also explore why right now, in the age of AI, is the most important moment in history to become a powerful communicator, and how improving the way you speak does not just change how others see you. It changes how you see yourself.

    This is the conversation your career, your confidence, and your voice have been waiting for.

    This week, we are unleashing your voice supergene. Because good speakers know how to speak. Great speakers know when to speak. And you are ready to become both.

  • Inflammation Fix: Yalda Alaoui on Gut Health and Eat Burn Sleep

    What if the reason you still feel bloated, tired, inflamed, foggy, or stuck has less to do with willpower and more to do with chronic inflammation?

    In this episode of Supergene Unleashed, Stacy sits down with Yalda Alaoui, founder of Eat Burn Sleep, a naturopathic nutritionist, and one of the most credible and research-backed voices in the anti-inflammatory health movement. Yalda was diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases, kept alive by blood transfusions, and told by doctors that conventional medicine had run out of answers. So she found her own. Today, she is medication-free and in full remission, and the lifestyle she built to save herself has helped hundreds of thousands of men and women around the world reclaim their health, energy, and longevity.

    Together, Stacy and Yalda unpack why so many people feel like they are doing everything right but still are not getting results. They get into what bloating, brain fog, anxiety, stubborn weight, and digestive issues may really be telling you, why habits you think are healthy, like over-exercising and restrictive eating, can actually be making you more inflamed, and how chronic inflammation quietly drives mood instability, metabolic dysfunction, and accelerated aging. They also explore the gut-brain connection, the gut-hormone link, metabolic flexibility, and how the Eat Burn Sleep method approaches food, movement, and mental wellness in a way that is realistic, sustainable, and built for real life.

    This is not another wellness trend. This is the science that has been here all along, finally explained in a way that makes everything click.

    If you have ever wondered why your weight will not shift, why your body feels persistently off, or how chronic inflammation could be quietly affecting far more than your waistline, this conversation is for you. And yes, this one is just as important for the men in your life.

    This week, we are unleashing your gut instinct supergene. Trust what your body has been trying to tell you all along.

  • Women Rising: The Power of Solidarity in a Divided World

    The world is divided. The noise is deafening. And women are, once again, absorbing the weight of all of it.

    In this solo episode, Stacy Andersen gets real about what is happening in our world right now and why this moment, as uncomfortable and chaotic as it is, might be the most important opportunity of our lifetime for women to come together.

    Because division is not an accident. It is a system. And distracted women don't organize, don't build, and don't lead. But women who choose each other? They change everything.

    Stacy unpacks why the myth of the self-made woman is quietly costing us all, what real solidarity looks like beyond the hashtags, and why women in positions of power right now have a responsibility to the women coming up behind them. She shares the micro actions every woman can take this week and makes the case for why a world with more women at the table would look fundamentally different.

    This is not a pep talk about being nice to each other. This is a call to arms. A reminder that your potential expands in community and that the women who came before you banded together so you could be here, with a microphone, a platform, and a voice.

    Do not waste it.

    My fellow Supergenes, the gene we're unleashing today isn't just ambition. It isn't just resilience. It's the oldest, most powerful force on this planet: a woman who knows exactly who she is, and refuses to be anything less.

  • Runaway to Renegade: Monika Proffitt on Turning Adversity Into Power

    You don't need a perfect start. You need an unbreakable will.

    In this episode of Supergene Unleashed, I sit down with artist, blockchain pioneer, and author Monika Proffitt. A woman who left home at 14 with $2 in her pocket and went on to crash Art Basel, write a book on blockchain, and carve her own path in some of the most male-dominated spaces on the planet. We're talking about what it really means to turn adversity into power.

    Here's the truth nobody wants to admit: the hard path is often the right one, belonging is something you create not something you wait to be given, and your struggle is not something to hide. It is your greatest superpower.

    Monika breaks down how she repeatedly entered rooms she had no business being in and made herself impossible to ignore. We get into how to cultivate real male allyship, the game-changing protocol used inside the Obama White House that every woman needs to know, and why the women who rise are almost always the ones who have been through the fire.

    If you have ever felt like you were too late, too different, or simply didn't belong, this episode will make you rethink everything.

    This week, we're unleashing your audacity supergene. The room you think you don't belong in? That's exactly the one you need to walk into.

  • From Olympian to Empire Builder: Why Discipline Is Self-Respect

    You don't need more motivation. You need more discipline.

    In this episode of Supergene Unleashed, I sit down with three-time Olympian and founder of Roar Fitness, Sarah Lindsay. A woman who has competed on the world's biggest stage and built a fitness empire from scratch. We're talking about what high performance actually looks like for women.

    Here's the truth nobody's saying out loud: consistency isn't about willpower, confidence isn't something you wait for, and discipline isn't punishment. It's self-respect.

    Sarah breaks down the mindset, standards, and habits that separate women who talk about change from women who actually live it. We get into why strength training transforms more than just your body, how to show up on the days you don't feel like it, and why so many women stay stuck not from lack of talent but from lack of standards.

    If you've ever felt inconsistent, stuck, or like you're not reaching your full potential, this episode will challenge the way you think about everything.

    This week, we're unleashing your self-discipline supergene. Go prove to yourself what you're actually made of.

  • 123 Years to Equality: Why Women Must Master Self-Advocacy

    International Women’s Day has been celebrated for 115 years. Yet according to the 2024 World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Report, we are still 123 years away from full gender equality.

    So the real question is: why?

    In this solo episode of Supergene Unleashed, Stacy Andersen challenges the idea that awareness alone creates change. Panels, hashtags, and celebrations may raise visibility, but real progress happens when women learn to advocate for themselves with confidence and conviction.

    If you’ve ever struggled to speak up in meetings, negotiate your salary, stand firm when challenged, or express your needs in relationships, this episode will give you practical tools to change that. Because empowerment isn’t an event, it’s a behavior.

    What you'll gain from this episode:

    • How to express your ideas with confidence in meetings without diminishing your voice
    • Powerful language to handle disagreement while maintaining authority
    • Practical strategies to negotiate salary increases and promotions
    • Ways men can become stronger advocates for women in leadership
    • How women can support each other instead of competing
    • Why self-advocacy in relationships is just as important as self-advocacy at work
    • The mindset shift that helps you stop shrinking and start standing firm
    • For my fellow Supergenes, get ready to unleash your Self-Advocacy Gene; the full-force confidence to know your worth, articulate it clearly, and never question your value. Because when women stop shrinking, the entire room changes.

    • Unexplained Infertility & IVF: What You’re Not Being Told

      If you’ve ever been told you have “unexplained infertility,” felt pressured into IVF without getting deeper answers, or quietly wondered if something is wrong with your body, this episode is for you.

      In this powerful and direct conversation with functional fertility practitioner Sandra Sharpe, we break down one of the most misleading diagnoses in modern medicine. Because “unexplained” infertility often isn’t truly unexplained; it’s simply unexplored. Fertility is declining globally. Sperm counts have dropped by more than 50% in the last four decades. Yet women continue to carry the emotional weight of fertility struggles alone. It’s time to change that narrative.

      In this episode, you’ll learn:

      • Why fertility is not a switch you flip on, but it’s an extension of your overall health
      • Why reproduction is not your body’s top priority (survival is)
      • The difference between “normal” lab ranges and optimal health
      • How under-fueling, stress, poor sleep, gut health, and metabolic dysfunction quietly impact fertility
      • Why male fertility and sperm health are critical and often overlooked
      • The truth about IVF, and how proper preparation can improve success rates
      • What proactive steps you can take today to protect and improve fertility
      • This is not about rejecting medical intervention. It’s about understanding your options, changing the variables, and approaching fertility with confidence rather than panic.

        For my fellow Supergenes, get ready to unleash your reproductive power and reclaim what your body was biologically designed to do.

        This conversation is for women, men, and couples navigating IVF, considering egg freezing, trying to conceive, or planning ahead. It will give you the perspective you and your partner need to advocate for yourselves and arm you with real knowledge, not fear.

        Fertility is not just a woman’s issue. It’s a human issue.

        And it’s time we start treating it that way.

      • Brutal Prioritization: How High-Achieving Women Reclaim Their Time

        In this episode of Supergene Unleashed, we dive into one of the biggest challenges facing high-achieving women today: time.

        If you feel constantly busy yet still behind, overwhelmed by invisible mental load, or stuck firefighting instead of leading, this conversation will change how you think about productivity.

        Stacy is joined by Abigail Langridge, creator of the Brain Dump Blueprint, who works live and in real time with women in leadership to help them reclaim control of their calendars. Her approach isn’t about hacks, hustle, or adding another system; it’s about brutal prioritization: stripping away emotion, noise, and unnecessary obligations so women can focus on what truly matters.

        Together, they explore why traditional productivity advice often fails women, how mental load and decision fatigue quietly erode performance, and what it actually takes to create time, not find it. From delegation and boundary-setting to managing expectations and reclaiming personal energy, this episode offers practical tools and mindset shifts for women who are done carrying it all.

        This episode helps you unleash your supergene of time dominance, the ability to crush deadlines, cut constraints, and stop letting your calendar run your life.

        If you’re a woman in leadership who wants to work smarter, protect your energy, and deliver without burning out, this episode is for you.

      • A Mother’s Wisdom: Life Lessons on Love, Loss, and the Courage to Evolve

        There’s something uniquely comforting about a mother’s wisdom, the kind that reminds you you’ll be okay, even when life doesn’t go as planned.

        In this deeply personal episode, Stacy sits down with her mom for an honest, multi-generational conversation about love, loss, resilience, and the courage it takes to keep evolving. Drawing from decades of lived experience, her mother shares powerful life lessons shaped by long-lasting love, unexpected grief, and personal reinvention.

        In this episode, you’ll learn:

        • What actually makes relationships last

        • How to move through grief or major life changes without rushing your healing

        • Why small shifts can create meaningful forward momentum

        • How to embrace change and aging with confidence instead of fear

          This conversation is a reminder that you don’t need all the answers to keep moving forward and that some of the most powerful guidance comes from women who have lived fully, loved deeply, and learned to evolve. Whether you’re navigating love, loss, reinvention, or simply craving perspective, this conversation feels like a warm hand on your back, gently reminding you that you have what it takes.

        • Weight Loss for Good: GLP-1s, Diet Culture, and Quick Fixes

          Every January, women are flooded with promises of quick fixes, miracle protocols, and overnight transformations. But real, lasting weight loss doesn’t work that way.

          In this episode of Supergene Unleashed, Stacy Andersen sits down with Dr. Meghan Garcia-Webb, a triple board-certified physician and certified life coach, to cut through the noise around weight loss, diet culture, and the rise of GLP-1 medications.

          Together, they explore what actually works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to sustainable weight management. From the science behind GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy, to the dangers of misinformation and unqualified influencers, this conversation brings clarity, honesty, and realness to a topic that impacts so many women.

          Dr. Meghan shares her medical perspective on when GLP-1s can be helpful, why they’re not a quick fix, and the importance of mindset, consistency, and personal autonomy in long-term success. They also unpack how the food industry, diet trends, and unrealistic expectations keep women stuck and how to reclaim control through simple, practical habits that actually last.

          If you’re ready to move past trends and focus on what actually works, this conversation is for you.
