In this episode, I sit down with Ronna Belinky, founder of Workflows by Ronna. Ronna has developed workshops and processes designed to help busy moms and parents streamline tasks, keeping their lives running more smoothly and stress-free. 

She shares her founder's journey and her 'why,' along with other aspects of growing a business with intention and authenticity. Ronna's tips and insights, drawn from her experiences, are invaluable.

We share stories about finding confidence to 'put ourselves out there', figuring out service pricing, and even connecting on the practice of yoga. While we have different businesses, we connect through our shared desire to help people understand themselves better. 

If you're running a busy household and/or a business, you'll get a lot out of this episode!

And for anyone struggling a bit to understand what I do, Ronna provides a spot-on definition!

I first met Stephanie when I was experiencing hair loss and scalp issues, along with many others who were dealing with the same or worse, because we were all using a beloved curly hair product line that had changed its formula or packaging. Her help and advocacy for those following her on social media proved invaluable during a very scary time, leading some to join a class-action lawsuit against the brand. 

In this episode, Stephanie offers a live consultation for me! And offers tips and tricks for anyone with curly hair. 

Stephanie is a curly-hair specialist and clean-beauty advocate dedicated to helping people embrace their natural texture without compromising their health. With 10 years of hands-on experience working with curls of all patterns, she focuses on non-toxic, ingredient-conscious hair care that supports hair, scalp, and internal wellness. She helped bring the first clean line of curly hair products to market and developed her own supplement brand, Total Hair Plus, a powerful formula that rapidly restores hair growth and health. Stephanie is known for blending science-based formulation knowledge with simple curl care, empowering her clients to achieve naturally minimal-effort curls.

Join me as I sit live with Jackie Pilossoph, founder of Divorced Girl Smiling, as we discuss easy ways people navigating this time in their lives, whether it's wanted, planned, agreed upon, or not, may get back to center and find positivity. Eventually. 

Jackie and I demystify the knee-jerk reaction some face when they feel they must pretend to be positive or feel they need to get there perhaps more quickly than they are truly ready.

The key: empower authenticity!

This episode is validating, eye-opening, and full of heart. If you're an adult woman wondering about your own symptoms or your children's, or simply curious about the emotional and spiritual dimensions of ADHD, this conversation will give you insight, reassurance, and a sense of being understood.

In this episode, I sit down with Jori Houlihan, Your Guide for the Dopamine Deprived™️, who is an ADHD life coach, public speaker, and educator who specializes in working with women diagnosed later in life, and host of the podcast ADHD and…. Diagnosed at 49, Jori brings humor, honesty, and deep self-awareness to what it means to discover ADHD later in life.

Her story sheds light on why so many women spend decades thinking they’re anxious, scattered, or “not trying hard enough,” when in reality the root cause is ADHD.

We talk about life after diagnosis, and also explore how ADHD becomes even more misunderstood for many women during menopause, and how women can advocate for themselves when they feel something is “off” but can’t articulate what.

Disclaimer:
This episode shares personal experiences and perspectives. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified medical provider regarding your health or questions about ADHD.
