What if “not enough” was never the problem?

In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Teresinski, a woman who built a thriving creative platform by choosing action over hesitation.

We talk about:

• Creating before confidence arrives

• Making sustainability accessible and stylish

• Why consistency beats perfection every time

• The power of small, intentional choices

Sarah’s journey reminds us that waiting for permission is optional and starting with what you have is powerful.

“You can.” Two words that can change a life.

In this episode, I’m honored to share a conversation with Shelbi Davenport, advocate, educator, and changemaker, whose journey reminds us what’s possible when we refuse to stay silent.

Shelbi opens up about growing up with a disability, being told college wasn’t an option, and how that moment lit a fire that led her to public policy, peer-to-peer advocacy, and helping pass Texas House Bill 2081.

This episode isn’t just about systems and legislation, it’s about belief, faith, and the courage to advocate for yourself even when it’s hard. Shelbi’s story will encourage you to keep going, keep speaking, and trust that your voice truly matters.

Your brain doesn’t clock out when you leave work.

In Season 2, Episode 11, I sit down with Karen Lazarou to explore how trauma forms inside organizations — often unintentionally — and why even successful, high-performing professionals feel exhausted, anxious, or disconnected.

We discuss:

• How repeated fear at work creates trauma

• Why burnout is often misdiagnosed

• The neurological cost of poor leadership

• What individuals and organizations must do to heal

This is a conversation about naming what’s happening — and rejecting the belief that you are the problem.

She didn’t wait until she had it all figured out—she started anyway.

I sat down with Whitney Neloms — NASM-certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, former bodybuilder, and mother for a conversation I truly believe so many women need right now.

We talk about the pressure women feel to perform, to push through exhaustion, and to fix their bodies with quick solutions. Whit shares how her transition from bodybuilding to motherhood reshaped her approach to health, rest, and sustainability, and why so many women feel like what worked in the past suddenly stopped working.

Together, we unpack hormones, burnout, postpartum recovery, perfectionism, and why weight gain is often a symptom of deeper issues rather than a personal failure. This conversation is about building confidence through curiosity, compassion, and sustainable habits — not punishment.

If you’ve ever felt like your body was betraying you, I hope this conversation helps you see that it’s actually communicating with you.

In this episode, I sit down with Teonna Wilber for a deeply reflective conversation about voice, confidence, and the courage it takes to stop silencing yourself.

We explore the emotional reasons so many of us hold back — fear of judgment, fear of rejection, and that quiet belief that our voice doesn’t really matter. Teonna shares powerful insight on what it looks like to reclaim your voice without changing who you are, and how speaking your truth can be both healing and deeply empowering.

This isn’t a conversation about being louder.
 It’s about being honest.
 It’s about choosing yourself, trusting your instincts, and allowing your voice to take up space.

In this episode, you’ll hear us talk about:
• Self-expression and emotional safety
• Breaking patterns of self-silencing
• Finding confidence without losing authenticity
• Speaking up in life, work, and relationships

Listen now and remind yourself that your voice matters — even when it shakes:

What if the anxiety you feel at work isn’t a personal failure — but a system that was never meant to fit you?

In this episode of Unmute Yourself, I sit down with Lauren Carter, founder of 9094, for an honest, unfiltered conversation about corporate trauma, imposter syndrome, and the courage it takes to stop shrinking yourself to survive.

Lauren shares her journey through layoffs, toxic work environments, and the relentless pressure to perform and how choosing authenticity over approval changed everything. Together, we talk about why “playing it safe” often costs more than taking the leap, and how unmuting yourself can be one of the most radical (and healing) career moves you’ll ever make.

This conversation is raw, relatable, and deeply human.
If you’ve ever felt muted, minimized, or exhausted from pretending everything is fine — this episode is for you.

What if your career doesn’t need to make sense on paper — as long as it feels true in your life?

In this episode, I talk with Candice Elders about nonlinear careers, transferable skills, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing who you are.

Candice shares how storytelling shaped her leadership style, why letting go of control creates stronger teams, and how being kinder to yourself might be the most underrated career strategy of all.
This episode is thoughtful, funny, and deeply affirming — especially if you’re navigating change or questioning your next step.
