Season 2 is HERE and we’re kicking it off with a woman who literally drags women out of burnout and into the mountains. 

Carrie Gregg, founder of GOAT (Girls Only Adventure Trips), joined me to talk about courage, connection, and why the outdoors has become the new therapy couch we didn’t know we needed.

If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t do that… can I?” — this episode says: yes, sis. You can.

In this powerful Season 2 opener, we dive into what happens when women step out of routine and into adventure and how the simple act of saying “yes” can rebuild confidence, community, and courage in ways we don’t expect.

Carrie shares how one bold idea turned into a movement where women rediscover themselves through dirt trails, deep conversations, belly laughs, and moments that remind us we’re capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for.

If you’ve been craving something — connection, direction, joy, purpose, or just a breath of air that feels like yours again — this episode might be the nudge your soul has been waiting for.

Michelle’s story — returning to art after almost a decade — is a reminder that nothing we love ever truly leaves us.
It just waits.
Patiently, quietly, sometimes painfully.

We talked about the fear of starting over, the exhaustion that comes from carrying too much for too long, and the bravery it takes to choose yourself again… even if it’s been a while.

If you’re rebuilding, rediscovering, or simply remembering who you were before life happened — this finale is for you.

Listen to the Season 1 finale & follow for what’s coming next.

She was told she couldn’t. But she did — her way.

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Michelle Lee Steiner to talk about life with an invisible disability, the power of self-advocacy, and what it really means to redefine success on your own terms.

Michelle didn’t set out to be an advocate, she became one simply by living out loud. Her story is about courage, confidence, and the quiet kind of strength that moves mountains.

This conversation reminded me that success isn’t about fitting in — it’s about showing up as who you are.
 And that’s exactly what Michelle does, beautifully.
