Thrive Hive Podcast

You love your life. Your work lights you up. You days are full of exciting things.And yet…You’re exhausted. A little irritable.  Foggy.Burned out and confused, because everything you're doing is good.

This week, we’re diving into a truth that high-achievers often ignore:Even good stress is still stress.And when you don’t give your body time to recover, it doesn’t matter how "amazing" your life looks on the outside - your nervous system will start to break down on the inside.

Enter Dr. Audra Lance - elite performance and recovery expert trusted by MLB and NHL all-stars, NFL Pro Bowlers, top CEOs, and Team USA.  She’s the woman they call when they need to be at their absolute best - mentally, physically, and emotionally.

And today Thrivesters, she’s here with us in The Hive.

In this must-listen episode, we talk about:

• ​The difference between good stress and bad stress - and why your body doesn’t know the difference
• ​How constantly chasing “good things” can flood your system with cortisol and exhaust your adrenals
• ​The red flags that you’re running on fumes - even if you're still performing
• ​Why sleep, breathwork, and nourishment are your power tools for long-term success
• ​What it means to be soul tired—and how to heal from it

Plus:

• ​A simple practice Dr. Audra gives every client (yes, even pro athletes): 5 uninterrupted minutes with yourself.
• ​How to create your “Thrive List” that restores your body, mind, and spirit
• ​Why knowing what to do isn’t enough - and how to actually start doing it
• ​Practical rituals, recovery tips, and ways to calm your system before burnout hits

Whether you’re running your company, raising your kids, or managing all the pieces of your beautiful life - this is your invitation to slow down.

Because you can love everything you do… and still burn out.

Reclaim your energy, your clarity, and your nervous system.Because there’s only one you, Thrivesters.

Now go out and thrive like you mean it.

Half the year is almost behind us. Thrivesters.
So let’s stop, breathe, and ask ourselves:
Is what we’ew working on… still worth working toward?

Today I’m inviting you to pause and take stock - not with guilt or shame, but with clarity and conviction.

Because if a goal hasn’t gotten your attention in six months, it might not be your goal anymore. Perhaps it never was. And that’s okay.

I’m walking you through my own mid-year check-in - across seven areas of priorities for my life.

Some goals I’ve crushed and others I haven’t even touched. And that’s what this episode is really about:
✅ Letting go of what no longer fits
✅ Realigning with what matters now
✅ Giving yourself permission to change your mind

This isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about getting real with where you are - and where you actually want to go next..

She left the job.
The title.
The hustle.
And finally - she found herself.

In this raw and soulful episode, I’m sitting down with Crystal Ellis - a wellness coach, speaker, and self-described “spreadsheet yogi” whose story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we stop performing and start living with intention.

Crystal built the life she thought she should: Successful career, fitness ninja, Auntie, girlfriend, daughter - all the boxes checked and ready to say yes to the next ask.

And behind the perfect resume was a woman who was depleted, disconnected, and living by other people’s expectations. Until one question cracked it all open:

Who am I, really? Without the job, the hustle, or the title?

What followed was a full-body unraveling - and a soul-deep rebuild.

Today we’re talking about:

·       Burnout, sobriety & nervous system resets

·       Breakups and breakdowns as turning points

·       Letting go of the identity you outgrew

And wrapping it all up in a bow of what it feels like to live life on purpose.

If you’re questioning, rebuilding or wondering what a more aligned life could look like - this one’s for you.

You’re not too late. You’re right on time, Thrivesters.

Now go thrive like you mean it.

You’re craving a fresh start.

New season. New space. New chapter.

Thrivesters, I get it.  It’s exciting when you finally figure out what you want.  Who you want to be.  Where you want to go.   When you know, you want to START RIGHT NOW.

And here’s where you need a reality check because if you jump too soon – it’s very possible you’ll have to redo it all.   Not to mention the cost of leaping without a net:

Time, energy, resources, and your mental health.

Today,  we’re talking about the timing of big transitions and how to know when it’s truly time to take that leap.  If  you’re not sure, I’m sharing the three clear signs you’re actually ready for your next move:

1. You’ve been thinking about it for a while (at least 3-6 months)

2. You’ve mentally checked out of where you are

3. You can see yourself in what’s next, and it’s a simple daydream

Whether it’s your career, a relationship, or just that nagging feeling that it’s time for something new - this episode will help you pause, reflect, and leap with intention.

Because thriving doesn’t mean rushing.

It means moving forward when it’s really time - so you don’t have to start over.

Now go out there and thrive like you mean it.⁠

Big Life Decision? Don’t Go It Alone.

You know those massive, overwhelming, life-changing decisions that leave you wishing someone would just TELL YOU what to do?

Good news, Thrivesters! You don’t need to outsource this process - you CAN and WILL figure it out on your own if you follow this ONE tip: :

Build and nurture your Personal Board of Directors.

This isn’t your pickleball crew or brunch besties. There are your truth-tellers; the ones who help you make the hard calls with clarity and confidence. Those who tell you what you need to hear, even if it stings a little bit.

Whether you’re mid-career, retired, working in the home (I’m looking at you, Super Moms) or somewhere in between…big decisions are big decisions - and we all could use a little qualified help from the people who know us the best.

So, let’s walk through this together. Right now.

Grab a pen, hit pause and come back later and let’s create your personal Board of Directors.

Think it, create it, live it - if that’s not thriving, what is?

Now go thrive like you mean it!

Too Much on Your Plate, Thrivesters?  Let’s Talk Value Buckets.

What do you do when your calendar is chaos and everything feels important?  You don’t have to DO ALL THE THINGS, you don’t have to feel guilty and you don’t have to make decisions which aren’t aligned with your own priorities.

Instead, you can try my go-to tool: Value Buckets. It’s part clarity hack, part energy shield, and a forensic way to help you make decisions that align with what actually matter to YOU.

This method is precise, unemotional and surprisingly freeing!

Today I’m sharing how I used this concept to navigate an over-packed day, and walked away feeling calm, clear, and completely in charge. No guilt. No burnout. No more “I just need to get through this week” vibes.

We’re talking time, energy, goodwill, and why not everything deserves your all.

Are you feeling stuck, flat, or just off your game, Podsters?  Or, have you ever felt this way?

I’m coming in hot today to remind you that you are NOT ALONE.  And you don’t’ have to stay in any funk, any feeling of meh or any “emotional valley” for long.  Here’s how to get yourself out:

Today I’m taking about how to hijack joy -  in the best possible way. Inspired by the PR concept of newsjacking (riding the wave of what’s happening in the world), this conversation is about how you can consciously tap into the joy and energy already around you… especially when you’re in a funk.

Joy isn’t always natural or automatic. Sometimes, we have to go find it. And in this episode, I’ll show you how.  We’ll talk about why waiting around to “feel better” usually doesn’t work -and what to do instead, how to borrow (or hijack!) energy from people who radiate light and the empowering truth that everything is temporary – both  the highs and the lows

After listening today Podsters, you will be armed with three tried and true tactics  to reclaim your time and emotional space.  So, remember, joy isn’t just an emotion -  it’s a practice, and a choice.

Now go out there and thrive like you mean it!

I was sitting in the emergency room, calm as could be. I wasn’t pacing, I wasn’t tapping my foot, and I wasn’t torqued up. I was actually... CALM. And I knew exactly why.

Ever heard of a glimmer, Podsters?

A glimmer is a scientific, nervous-system-soothing micro-moment that can shift your entire day.   These are often-overlooked experiences that spark calm, connection, and joy… and they matter more than we think.

Today, I’m sharing why I’ve become obsessed with this concept, how a small moment of sunshine literally saved my day, and what a horseshoe, an art piece, and a perfectly-timed letter have to do with emotional regulation.

I’m not talking about toxic positivity or ignoring the hard stuff – I’m saying it’s a CHOICE to anchor yourself in the good, the positive, and in what’s working.  It’s about choosing to anchor, even when things are chaotic. Especially when they are.

So often we talk about triggers – how someone or something sets off an emotional reaction.  And I get it, we all have them.   So, let’s ask ourselves,  are we giving more life to the trigger, or the glimmer?

What you look for you will find.    And this week, let’s look for the glimmers.

They’re already happening. Notice them. Name them. Let them land.

Bonus points for sharing one glimmer with me on Instagram – you know where to find me!

Welcome Podsters, to the inaugural episode of The Thrive Hive Podcast -  where success meets reinvention and nothing, I mean nothing is off limits.

We’ve been  buzzing about the Hive for weeks and finally, in today’s launch episode, I’m sharing the good, the bad and the ugly about why I made the bold move to completely reinvent my brand, my business, and my life.

After five years of building the Unmute Yourself brand I felt the shift and realized: it’s time to stop performing and start aligning with my new values.

This episode is all about reinvention with intention – and the knowing that positive life disrupting moves are the only way to enjoy real growth.

Whether you’re at a pivotal point in your career,  already done the big job, built the business, raised the kids or just know something needs to shift, this conversation will speak to that little spark inside of you - the one that says, you’re not done yet.

This Episode Is for You If:

• You’ve built a successful career and are feeling called to something MORE

• You’re craving meaningful conversations and real community

• You’re tired of the “fine” life and ready to feel fully alive

• You want to protect your energy, set better boundaries, and thrive on your terms

• You’re ready to drop the boss mask and rediscover what lights you up

That’s it for now, Podsters - now go thrive like you mean it!
