  • 34. Giving Yourself Room Update!!

    Hey friends! We took a few weeks off to rest and reset, which was actually much harder than I expected it to be. Does anyone else sometimes struggle with rest?? I have had to put the recording of "self care is not selfish" on repeat in my head.  But we are back and better than ever!

    BUT I NEED YOUR HELP!!! I am wanting to hear your story. I want to hear how YOU have given yourself the room you need to be who you are. Maybe you're still stuck in the hallway just staring at the room you want to enter. I get it. I've been there. Sometimes I'm still there. We will get there together. Let me help share your story, and show you just how much of a warrior you are. 

    I'm rooting for you.

    Stephanie Heller has a way of zeroing on your bull, showing you how you're creating it and then pulling a plan together to change. She does this daily for business owners to stop overthinking and make simple decisions so they can add revenue, experience possibility and feel better quickly.


    An early mid-life crisis / career change at 30 years old led her to move across the country from New York City to Scottsdale and enroll in Le Cordon Bleu culinary program. She started Ripe Personal Chef Services an in-home personal chef service cooking daily & weekly meals and boutique dinner parties for discerning guests. Growing the company to mid-six figures, 8 chefs and cooking for entire baseball teams was an epic experience and huge life learning.

  • 25. Living Your Dream, Losing Your Dream, and Learning to Dream with Jenny Ornstein

    This episode holds a special place in my heart, as I had the honor of interviewing my very dear friend Jenny Ornstein. Jenny has worked for the Walt Disney Company for 20 years. The last 6 or so years have also been spent performing and working at Universal Studios Orlando. Jenny has always been a professional performer, until Covid 19 changed everything. Jenny walks us through her life from pre covid to the last 9 months of losing her dream jobs. If you've wondered what it's like to be in professional entertainment during a global pandemic... this is your episode.  

    This will all turn around, until then we have each other to get through this chaotic time. Jenny is one of my close friends, and it's such an honor to walk through this with her.
