  • Ep. 109: Why Being Direct with Your Boundaries Breeds Success: A Conversation with Justin Breen

    Today I talk to my friend, Justin Breen about how he took a leap of faith into entrepreneurship to become the CEO of the PR firm BrEpic Communications and author of the No. 1 International Best-Selling Book, Epic Business.

    A bit more about Justin:

    Justin is hard-wired to seek out and create viral, thought-provoking stories that the media craves. And he finds the best stories when he networks with visionary entrepreneurs and executives who understand the value of investing in themselves and their businesses. Justin believes strongly in the power of introductions and creates important relationships through those introductions. He is an extremely active member of Entrepreneurs' Organization, Strategic Coach and Abundance 360, and he has an incredible global network of visionaries and exceptional businesses.

  • Ep. 108: Taking Off the Mask

    "Everyone wants to celebrate the underdog, but no one wants to be him" Ani DiFranco

    Today I take l the mask and share what's been going on under the hood since leaving Google - it's ALL . THE . THINGS. But here's the thing, we so often only celebrate the successes - no one ever talks about the pivots and stops that one needs to take before they're "successful." and I'm calling BS. So here's to honesty, learning to pivot & getting things right (but mostly not right ;-)).

  • Ep. 107: Creating Space to Lead By Leaning Into Your Authentic Self: A conversation with Mitzi Rivas

    Today I chat with my friend, Mitzi Rivas about how she was able to step into her leadership role by leaning into her most authentic self. In our conversation, we discuss what we've learned from holding back and how it can block our own success and keeps the handcuffs on those that we want to serve the most.

    A bit more about Mitzi in her own words:

    In 2005, I came across a pair of beautiful, handmade kids shoes designed like little red foxes. I held them in my hand, admiring the fine details — the care and craftsmanship, the creative yet timeless design — and something inside me shifted. I sensed that I could merge my purpose with inspiring products. I had found my path to joy.


    It meant stepping off the manicured path, into a wilder and uncertain place. I didn’t know exactly where it would lead; but knew that this path would fill my heart, energize my mind, make my heart race with thrill and fear while giving me the courage to take the leap.

    Today, that same maverick spirit is at the heart of Livie and Luca, a beloved apparel brand known for their daring, imaginative designs that support kids’ well-being, inside and out.

    But more than that, Livie & Luca is a vibrant community of people who do things differently, who create space to hear each other and be heard, who courageously seek their own paths to joy.

    Mitzi invites you to join the movement.

  • Ep: 106: Your Words Matter

    Over the holiday weekend, my FIL said to my husband, "I'm surprised you're not trying for a boy." Cue all my shit. Right?! So today I dove into sharing some tips and strategies I've used over the past few years to address those annoying micro-aggressions head on in a kind & loving way. 

    Enjoy!

  • Ep. 105: Listening to Your Intuition When Your Priorities Shift: A Conversation with Jessica Faath

    Today I talk to my friend, Jessica Faath who shares how she had to lean into her own intuition when her priorities shifted. In our conversation, we discuss what it's like to advocate for yourself in corporate America in order to be better aligned with your life's greatest desires.

    A bit more about Jessica in her own words:

    Hi, I’m Jessica Faath (she/her pronouns) and I hold space for women to grow into leadership roles, to put their talent to work and move their life into the next level.


    At the age of 17, I was given a second chance. As I watched my body recover from near death, I became aware that each day was a new chance to be a leader in my own life.

    With 20 years in a corporate management role and a lifetime of volunteer experience coaching and mentoring young women, I serve women by helping them learn to use their voices as change agents. My clients benefit from a Masters in Business education, professional project management & sales experience as well as many lessons learned living and working in Europe.

    In my personal life, I am the mother of two boys, living with my family in Michigan. Aside from career and family, I am also a living example of how when you get out of your own way and share your story, you give your gifts to others.

    “You’re not a victim for sharing your story, you are a survivor setting the world on fire with your truth. And you never know who needs your light, your warmth and your courage.”
    ~ Alex Elle

  • Ep. 104: Give Yourself Permission to be Awesomely YOU

    Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of the podcast!! Cue the trumpets & champagne please! Today in reflecting back on the last 365 days, I read the poem "Our deepest Fear" by Marianne Williamson and it struck me how close to home that poem really hit. While yes, I have fear of rejection, of judgement, of inadequacy, a lot of the work I've done over the last year is becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable. And in doing so, I had to give myself the permission to be awesome. To be authentically me - even if that made other people uncomfortable. I share some stories (when do I not?!) and also some techniques I've used to get myself over this hump.

  • Ep. 103: From Corporate to Pursing Joy in Empowering New Mamas: A Conversation with Amber Frauenholtz

    Today I talk to my friend, Amber Frauenholtz, who shares her journey of leaving corporate America and following her passions to support new mamas feel alive & restore from postpartum depletion. In our conversation we touch on how after giving birth, Amber felt like she was struggling to tie her identities together & that feeling of pressure that so many women feel of trying to be the best mom/employee/wife. We talk about her decision to leave a 6 figure salary, stock & financial comfort to pursue joy & the feeling of being unable to talk to anyone about her feelings because she felt so ashamed of wanting a different life. Man, there is SO much I could relate to in my conversation with Amber and I think you will too. 

    A bit more about Amber in her own words:

    Amber is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Disney World fanatic, and mom of 4 year old James and 2.5 year old Griffin. 


    After being blindsided by the intensity of new motherhood Amber began a journey to re-build her identity and heal from postpartum depletion - a syndrome that describes the toll pregnancy, birth, and postpartum take on the body. This eventually led to her leaving her corporate job of 7 years to pursue a coaching business supporting new moms. She is passionate about helping others avoid the nutritional depletion and stress that accompanies giving birth in our culture today.

  • Ep. 102: F*ck The Handcuffs: Speaking & Living Your Truth

    One of the biggest reasons we don't speak & live our truths is due to fear. Fear of rejection/judgement/criticism. Today I get vulnerable & I dive into some memories/moments that have shaped why I lived the better part of 30+ years being terrified of using my voice and speaking my truths and how I began to overcome them. 

    As always, I hope you enjoy the conversation!

  • Ep. 101: How Getting Fired Forced Me Into My Zone of Genius: A Conversation with Katie Allen

    Today I talked to my badass friend, Katie Allen, who is making her second appearance on the podcast. This time, we talk about how after being let go of her corporate job, she had a choice - she could stay within her zone of excellence or take a leap and move into her zone of genius. Guess which she did?! ;-) She is now kicking ass & taking names in the personal styling space.

    Katie & I also announce a collaboration between the two of us because there are so many synergies between feeling confident in who you are & being able to find your voice, own your story & speak your truth. I am launching a Storytelling Collective on Friday, April 2nd. If you opt into this collective by Thursday, April 1st at midnight (EST), I will be GIFTING you a personal styling session with Katie.
