What if the real power move isn’t pushing harder… but letting go?

In this episode of The Rebel Tribe Podcast, I’m sitting down with Lona DeRieux—wellness advocate, energy worker, and host of Steps to Feel Good Daily—to talk about why emotional healing isn’t just self-care, it’s strategy.

Lona shares her journey from burnout to breakthrough, how energy healing helped her reclaim her life, and the surprisingly simple shifts that can help you release what’s been holding you back (yes, even the invisible stuff).

We’re diving into:

• What energy work actually is—and why it’s not as “woo” as you think

• The biggest emotional blocks women face (and how to start clearing them)

• Why feeling good is the key to showing up confidently in life and business

• And how to stop living in survival mode and start feeling like you again

If you’re done with just “getting through the day” and ready to feel aligned, empowered, and magnetic—you need this convo in your ears.

The mics are on, the coffee’s lukewarm, and yes—we’re all in our pajamas.

In this raw and real post-summit debrief, host Melodieann Whiteley is joined by three powerhouse women—former podcast guests and Rebelution Summit speakers—for a laid-back, soul-deep conversation about what it means to show up after the big event… when the makeup’s gone, the energy is low, and the truth starts to settle in.

Together, they dive into:

• What surprised them about hosting/speaking at a summit

• How they keep going when they’re mentally and emotionally spent

• What moments reminded them that this work matters

• Why being tired doesn't mean you're done—it means you're human

We reflect on the questions that stirred something in all of us:
✨ What do you need to let go of to rise higher?
✨ What story are you done telling yourself?
✨ What strength are you finally ready to own?

No scripts, no filters—just pajamas, passion, and purpose.

Because sometimes, the most powerful conversations happen when you're a little tired… but still all in.

Ever felt like you’re one wrong move away from being “found out”? Like you’ve just been faking it all along and someone—anyone—is about to call you out?

Yeah… me too.

In this raw, unfiltered episode of The Rebel Tribe Podcast, I’m opening up about imposter syndrome—the mental mind trap that almost made me quit the podcast, delay my book launch, and walk away from the work I’m called to do.

But here’s what I realized:
I’m not a fraud. And neither are you.

We dive into:

• What imposter syndrome really is (and how it shows up in your life)

• Why smart, successful women still struggle with it

• How it affects your business, your relationships, and your confidence

• The subtle ways it’s been holding you back—and how to shut it down

• The truth about worthiness, success, and finally owning your seat at the table

This is more than a pep talk.
It’s a call to rise, take up space, and refuse to shrink—ever again.
