Depression does not always look like sadness. Sometimes, it hides behind success, strength, marriage, motherhood, and the belief that asking for help means you have failed.

In this powerful episode of Women Like Me Stories & Business, Julie Fairhurst speaks with Dr. Nneka Oluoha, a Nigerian-American physician, hospitalist, and author of the novel Live for Me, Nkem.

Together, they explore hidden depression, women’s mental health, and the cultural expectations that can cause women to suffer silently while appearing perfectly capable on the outside.

Dr. Oluoha shares how her experiences in Nigeria and the United States shaped her understanding of mental health, motherhood, marriage, immigration, and family responsibility. She also explains why depression affects more than one person; it can quietly change relationships, influence children, and leave an entire family struggling to understand what has happened.

In this conversation, you will hear about:

• Why strong women often find it difficult to ask for help
• How depression can remain hidden behind a successful life
• The pressure women carry as mothers, wives, and caregivers
• Cultural stigma surrounding depression and mental illness
• How one person’s depression can affect the entire family
• Why storytelling can help people recognize pain in themselves and others
• The courage it takes to say, “I am not okay”

Live for Me, Nkem is an emotionally compelling novel about a Nigerian immigrant wife and mother whose seemingly successful life conceals a profound struggle with depression. Through multiple family perspectives, the story reveals what silence can cost, and why reaching for help is an act of strength.

If you have ever felt responsible for holding everyone else together while quietly falling apart inside, this conversation is for you.

“The more we can understand what goes on with our minds, the better life unfolds for us.” - Mikail Maillet

Are limiting beliefs and unconscious thought patterns keeping you trapped in the same cycles?

In this thought-provoking episode of Women Like Me Stories & Business, host Julie Fairhurst sits down with author Mikail Maillet to explore how our thoughts, beliefs, and habits influence the lives we create.

Mikail is the author of Your Mind or Your Life: Liberating the Trapped Mind. Drawing on nearly 50 years of martial arts experience and more than 45 years of study in Eastern and Western philosophy, psychology, faith, and meditation, he shares his perspective on understanding the mind and changing the beliefs that may be keeping us stuck.

Julie also shares how her identity affected the beginning of her real estate career. Although she wanted to become successful, she still saw herself as the girl who grew up on welfare, not as a woman capable of building an extraordinary career. Her circumstances began to change when she challenged that old identity and took action.

In this conversation, Julie and Mikail discuss:

How childhood experiences shape our beliefs
Why we repeat the same patterns
How limiting beliefs affect our identity
Becoming more conscious of our thoughts
Meditation, visualization, and mental focus
Breaking free from other people’s expectations
Why changing your thoughts must be followed by action
Finding purpose later in life
Mikail’s journey from martial arts teacher to author
How Julie discovered her calling to help women share their stories

Your thoughts may influence your direction, but awareness gives you the opportunity to choose a different path.

At 10 years old, Lisa Sugarman was told that her father had died from a heart attack. Thirty-five years later, she discovered the truth: her father had died by suicide.

That revelation forced Lisa to grieve her father all over again and changed the direction of her life.

In this powerful episode of the Women Like Me Stories & Business Podcast, host Julie Fairhurst speaks with Lisa about suicide loss, complicated grief, family secrets, mental health, resilience, and the conversations that could help save a life.

Lisa Sugarman is a suicide prevention and mental health advocate, certified crisis counselor, grief support group facilitator, speaker, and author of Surviving: Finding Hope After Suicide Loss. She is also the founder of The HelpHUB™, a free online collection of vetted mental health, grief, trauma, and crisis-support resources.

In this conversation, Lisa shares:

• How she discovered the truth about her father’s death after 35 years
• Why her mother chose to protect her from the truth
• How family secrets and childhood grief can follow us into adulthood
• Why grief is not something we simply “get over”
• How grief can be understood as an expression of love
• What to say when someone you care about may be struggling
• Why asking directly about suicide does not make the situation worse
• How ordinary people can offer meaningful support without being clinicians
• The story behind Surviving: Finding Hope After Suicide Loss
• How The HelpHUB™ makes free support easier to find

Lisa reminds us that grief may remain, but its edges can soften. The way you feel in the darkest moment is not necessarily how you will always feel.

Accessibility is about far more than ramps, bathrooms, and meeting minimum building codes. It is about dignity, independence, employment, belonging, and creating a world in which people with disabilities are genuinely included.

In this powerful episode of Women Like Me Stories & Business, host Julie Fairhurst speaks with disability advocate, music educator, author, and community leader Jenna Udenberg.

After developing juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at seven years old, Jenna was using a wheelchair within a year. She shares the assumptions she encountered, the teachers who saw her potential, and how she became a music educator, even after being told there was no such thing as a left-handed trumpet player.

Jenna also challenges how society talks about disability. People with disabilities do not need pity, unsolicited help, or praise simply for living their lives. They need to be heard, respected, and included in the decisions that affect them.

Julie and Jenna discuss:

• Why accessibility is about more than meeting legal requirements
• The difference between helping someone and taking away her agency
• Why a wheelchair can represent freedom rather than limitation
• Accessibility barriers in workplaces, businesses, hospitals, stages, and public spaces
• The pressure placed on disability advocates to always appear strong or inspirational
• Why authentic relationships matter more than assumptions
• Jenna’s nonprofit, Above and Beyond With U
• The story behind her memoir, Within My Spokes

This conversation may change what you notice, what you question, and how you respond the next time you see someone who appears to need assistance.

What is it like to grow up as a hearing child of deaf parents?

Maria Gallucci learned American Sign Language before she learned English. As a young child, she became an interpreter for her deaf parents, helping them navigate medical appointments, financial conversations, and a world that did not always make them feel included.

In this powerful episode of Women Like Me Stories & Business, Maria shares her experience as a CODA—a Child of Deaf Adults—and explains how growing up between the hearing and deaf communities shaped her resilience, empathy, communication skills, and commitment to inclusion.

Maria also opens up about becoming a teenage mother, raising her daughter as a single parent, building a successful career in real estate, and finally completing the book she carried in her heart for 15 years.

Her bestselling book, Raised in Silence, is not only about the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. It is a deeply human message for anyone who has ever felt different, misunderstood, judged, or excluded.

In this conversation, you will discover:

• What it was like growing up as a hearing child of deaf parents
• How learning ASL shaped Maria’s understanding of communication
• The responsibilities CODA children may carry from an early age
• How difficult experiences can become personal strengths
• Why inclusion and belonging matter in life, leadership, and business
• How empathy and nonverbal communication helped Maria succeed in real estate
• Maria’s journey from teenage single mother to successful entrepreneur and author
• Why your differences may eventually become your greatest strengths
• How women can stop feeling less than and begin taking their power back

Maria’s story reminds us that communication is about far more than spoken words. It is about paying attention, creating trust, and helping people feel seen, heard, respected, and included.

Your story has value. Your differences have meaning. And the chapter you are living today does not have to define your entire story.

Why do you keep falling back into old habits, even after therapy, personal development, journaling, and years of working on yourself?

In this powerful episode of Women Like Me Stories & Business, Julie Fairhurst speaks with transformational coach, Reiki Master Teacher, and Heartspace founder Kelly Keefe about self-sabotage, subconscious reprogramming, nervous system regulation, and lasting personal change.

Kelly works with women who have built successful careers and businesses, cared for everyone around them, and done years of inner work, yet still feel stuck, disconnected, or unfulfilled.

Together, Julie and Kelly explore why conscious effort and willpower are often not enough to create lasting change. Hidden beliefs formed during childhood can continue influencing our confidence, relationships, business decisions, and willingness to be seen.

You will discover:

• Why subconscious patterns can keep you stuck
• How fear of success can disguise itself as procrastination
• Why successful women still struggle with feeling worthy
• How childhood conditioning affects adult behavior
• The relationship between burnout and earning your worth
• Why willpower alone rarely creates sustainable change
• How your nervous system influences confidence and visibility
• The hidden ways self-sabotage appears in everyday life
• Why taking another course can become a form of avoidance
• How identity shifts help create different results
• How neuroscience and spiritual practices can work together
• Why you are not broken and do not need to be fixed

Kelly also explains how self-sabotage can look productive. Constantly collecting more qualifications, delaying a book, postponing a launch, or convincing yourself that you need more preparation may be your subconscious mind trying to protect you from being seen.

This episode is for the woman who appears successful on the outside but privately wonders, “Why do I still feel like something is missing?”

You do not need to become worthy. You do not need to keep proving yourself. You may simply need to uncover the beliefs quietly directing your choices and create enough internal safety to become the woman you already know you can be.

Have you built a life that looks successful but no longer feels like it reflects the woman you are becoming?

In this powerful conversation, entrepreneur and author Nataliya Falevich shares how she learned to reconnect with her creativity, reclaim her desires, and reinvent herself without abandoning everything she had already built.

After immigrating to the United States at 22, Nataliya created a successful childcare business, raised a family, and built a life she was proud of. Yet beneath her accomplishments, a creative voice continued calling her toward something more.

That calling eventually led her to write The Velvet Blade, a novel exploring power, freedom, control, desire, identity, and the untamed human spirit.

Julie and Nataliya discuss why so many women silence their desires, lose themselves in roles and responsibilities, and become afraid to ask one life-changing question: What do I actually want?

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why success and fulfillment are not always the same
• How to reinvent yourself without walking away from your current life
• Why women often silence their dreams and desires
• How to reconnect with your authentic voice
• Why creativity is essential—not selfish
• How to release the need for certainty and control
• Why your past can become the foundation for your future
• How to embrace every part of who you are becoming

You do not have to reject your past, abandon your responsibilities, or become an entirely different person. Sometimes reinvention simply means giving yourself permission to become more fully yourself.

If you have ever wondered, “Whose life am I living?”, this conversation is for you.

Why do we keep repeating the same unhealthy patterns, even when we know they are holding us back?

Identity Pattern Expert, speaker, and bestselling author Amy Sanders joins Julie Fairhurst for a powerful conversation about the hidden identity patterns shaping our confidence, relationships, businesses, and ability to receive greater success and abundance.

FREE RESOURCE: https://amysanders.co/quiz/human-design

Amy shares her journey through divorce, betrayal, financial hardship, personal loss, and raising three children as a single mother on a very small income. Her transformation did not come from working harder, hustling more, or finding another strategy. It began when she recognized and changed the patterns influencing how she saw herself and what she believed was possible.

In this episode, Amy explains why willpower alone rarely creates lasting change and introduces the Identity Pattern Framework, The Unblocked Method, and the three stages of Awareness, Alignment, and Abundance.

You will discover:

• How identity patterns are created
• Why you may keep repeating the same relationship or business struggles
• How your past influences your confidence and choices
• Why working harder does not always move you forward
• How to recognize the patterns keeping you stuck
• What it means to choose a new identity and a new pattern
• How to create healthier relationships, greater success, and a more aligned business

Your past may have shaped you, but it does not have to control your future. You are not broken. You may simply be living inside a pattern you now have the power to change.

What if healing isn’t about fixing yourself, but finally recognizing that you were never broken?

In this deeply honest conversation, Julie Fairhurst speaks with author, podcast host and Magnificence Mentor Sue Paulson about self-worth, healing after adversity and learning to see the magnificence that has always lived within you.

After facing cancer twice, a near-death experience and other life-changing challenges, Sue uncovered powerful lessons about receiving support, asking for help and giving herself the same grace she had always offered others.

Sue and Julie explore why so many women struggle with feeling “not enough,” how generational beliefs shape our self-image, and why constant self-improvement can sometimes reinforce the belief that something is wrong with us.

In this episode, you will discover:

• Why women often find it easier to give than receive
 • How imposter syndrome grows from feelings of inadequacy
 • The difference between surviving and truly healing
 • Why resilience can sometimes hide unresolved pain
 • How to challenge the belief that you are not enough
 • The importance of self-compassion during adversity
 • How writing can help you understand fear and emotional pain
 • Why one encouraging person can change someone’s life
 • A practical exercise for recognizing your strengths and successes

Sue also shares the inspiration behind her books, The Healing Call of Cancer and Magnificent Misery: From Adversity to Ecstasy, as well as the work she leads through the Magnificence Lab and her podcast, Magnify Your Magnificence.

Your struggles are part of your story, but they are not proof that you are broken. You do not have to earn your worth. You arrived with it.
