What happens when the life you’ve worked hard to build is good… AND you know you’re ready for something different?

After 15 years in financial services, Ysenia Rhodes left the comfort of being an expert to become a beginner again and co-found Huntress Wealth. We talk about knowing when it’s your season to make a change, building the financial freedom to take risks, trusting yourself through the unknown, and why sometimes you just have to invite yourself to the party.

What happens when life keeps changing the plan and you learn to trust yourself enough to keep figuring it out?

Kristin Johnson has navigated motherhood at 20, career pivots, loss, divorce, layoffs and plenty of unexpected turns. Now, she’s in a season of creating change on her own terms. We talk about building the muscle to adapt, trusting the evidence of what you’ve already survived, and the freedom that comes when you realize: I’ve figured it out before. I can figure it out again.

Lauren Winter has spent years leading teams through mergers, acquisitions, growth, and constant change all while navigating plenty of change at home, too.

In this episode of Change AND Trust, we talk about staying steady in the swirl, communicating honestly when there are still unknowns, choosing where to spend your energy, and why confidence doesn’t require having every answer.

A conversation about trusting yourself, creating steadiness for others, and leading well when the path forward isn’t completely clear.

What if changing your pace doesn’t mean changing your ambition?

In this episode of our Personal AND Professional series, Jackie Bonfini shares her journey from luxury fashion and corporate leadership to motherhood, burnout, healing, and ultimately building a coaching business of her own.

We talk about giving ourselves permission to operate differently in different seasons, building the support we actually need, and why sometimes the most ambitious thing we can do is recognize the season we are in and build our lives accordingly.

What if work/life balance isn’t about choosing or perfectly balancing but about designing a life that makes room for both?

In this episode of our Personal AND Professional series, we sit down with Alaina, therapist, founder of Our Kind Therapy, and soon-to-be mom, to talk about building a life around who you actually are. From attachment and authenticity to entrepreneurship, motherhood, and dreaming bigger, Alaina reminds us that we don’t have to separate the pieces of ourselves to succeed.

Sometimes the most important thing we can do is simple: factor ourselves into the plan.

What if the goal isn't work-life balance... but alignment?

After two decades leading marketing and communications for major brands, Kristin McClement walked away from corporate life to build something that reflected who she truly was.

After four incredible conversations exploring the tension between employee and entrepreneur, April closes the series by sharing her own story.

From growing up with a single mom who taught her the value of hard work, to leading at YETI and woom, to building AND before the sun came up, this episode is an honest look at what it really takes to create something new.

It's a conversation about identity, intentionality, and why the biggest investment you'll ever make is in your future self.s

After nearly three decades as a corporate executive, Celeste Warren chose a different path. Not because she had to, but because she knew it was time. In this episode, we talk about purpose, planning your next chapter, the courage to leave something familiar, and why the skills you build as an employee may be the very thing that makes you a great entrepreneur.

What happens when the life you've built no longer aligns with the life you want? In this episode, April and Ivy sit down with Annie, founder of Havenwith, to explore the journey from employee to entrepreneur. Annie shares how motherhood, wellness, and a desire for more intentional living led her to create a travel platform connecting families with low-tox vacation homes. Together, they talk about trusting your instincts, starting before you're ready, and why the best businesses are often born from the problems we live ourselves. If you've been wondering whether it's time to build something of your own, this conversation is for you.
