This is a fan fav episode. When it comes to relationships and marriage, having kids together, unhealthy cycles of love and abuse, and financial or lifestyle dependency can make it really difficult to walk away from the wrong partner. 

But homie, I’ve got you covered with the second half of this epic conversation with the woman investing and earning millions of dollars after walking out on the so-called “perfect life.”

If you’ve been on the fence about what your next move is to get OUT of your current situation, this is it! This episode is dedicated to the women who have quietly accepted a life they never dreamed of nor wanted. For the women stuck living life without passion and excitement, and who learned to sacrifice and stay quiet for everyone else, this if for you!

No more playing the “nice girl” It’s time to let the Bad B*tch out to play this game on her terms.

Codie Sanchez went from living someone else’s dream life to tearing it all down and building her own dream life. This woman is not for play, she’s about making power moves and being crystal clear about what she wants. Codie said to hell with being a complacent well kept wife and chose to become the woman she wanted to be.

This is a fan fav episode. Homie, if you’ve been on the fence about what your next move is to get OUT of your current situation, this is it! Today’s episode is dedicated to the women who’ve quietly accepted a life you never dreamed of, who settled for a life of comfort and safety over a life lived with radical passion, and those who learned to keep it all to themselves because it's better for everyone else.

We’re done with playing the “nice girl” for everyone else at the expense of losing the Bad B*tch you were absolutely born to be.

My guest today didn’t just build million dollar wealth for herself, she looked at the life she wasn’t excited for and she frikin changed it! Codie Sanchez went from living someone else’s dream life to tearing it all down and building her own dream life. This woman is not for play, she’s about making power moves and being crystal clear about what she wants. Codie said to hell with being a complacent well kept wife walking away from it all because the woman she desired to be deserved the chance to live. 

Codie Sanchez is joining me today for this two-part-inspiration-packed conversation to encourage you to get off the fence, make the decision, and stop living the trapped life.

*How do you walk away from the “good life” or the “suffocating life"?

*Don’t run from difficult conversation and you’ll avoid impossible conversation later

*Add the Anti-Goal Planning strategy to you toolbelt for tackling bigger than life goals

That’s just a glimpse of part one! If you’re not living the life you dreamed of and you’re trying to figure out ‘how the heck do I get here?” this conversation is for you. I want you to see what’s possible for you and take the most powerful ideas you hear and figure out how to use them to turn your life around. You don’t have to feel trapped in your life, and you sure as heck don’t have to stay unhappy for the sake of everyone else.

This is a fan fav episode. What up homies! Are you ready to give your inner foodie a boost of confidence and good cheer? Today I’m here with a dose of empowerment that will help you conquer the holidays and girls’ nights out with total confidence!

Shawn Stevenson, author of Eat Smarter, is joining me for this spectacular episode, and we’re going to share powerful tips that make guilty eating and shameful cheat days can be a thing of the past!

Learning how to love foods that love you back and how to be mindful about how different foods make you feel is an act of self love that leads to a much happier and healthier life. 

We uncover the truth behind ultra-processed foods and the shocking number of ingredients that can be found in chicken (I’m talking 17 ingredients which includes chicken flavoring –say what now?!). But this is not focused on theory - Shawn has some delicious recipes like buffalo chicken tacos, salmon burgers, veggie burgers, and pancakes that will make healthy eating a joy. I’m looking forward to giving these a try with the family for a get-together.

By the end of these powerful 30 minutes together, you’ll be ready to swap ‘stress’ eating for ‘happy’ eating and you’ll think about how labeling your foods and meals as bad, guilty, and cheaty is way worse than eating and enjoying your food –good vibes, happy times, and a healthy state of mind can make that ice cream taste even better!

Don't forget to check out Shawn's book, Eat Smarter Cookbook, for even more insights and inspiration: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Smarter-Family-Cookbook-Connection/dp/0316456462⁠

This is a fan fav episode. Welcome to another power-packed episode homie! Today, we're breaking free from the 'Nice Girl' habits and stepping into the bad b*tch boots that prioritizes self-love and creating the life you want and deserve. 

Award-winning singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur, Dinah Jane, former member of the chart-topping group 5th Harmony, is joining us and sharing how she transformed her identity crisis into power and self-acceptance.

Dinah underlines the importance of having pride in the woman you've become, without shame for the woman you were. We explore the struggle between suffering in silence to please others, or standing up for oneself. Dinah shares her painful experience of diminishing herself for the wrong partner, and reveals how she escaped an unhealthy relationship and learned to be her own woman.

Ladies, are you ready to shake off expectations from your family and society? Let's stop playing the 'Nice Girl', a path that leads to self-destruction, unnecessary pain, and abuse. This is your call to rise, speak out, and become the woman everyone respects. 

DINAH JANE WISDOM:

“I want to fall. I want to cry. I want to be imperfect, I don’t want this perfect lifestyle.”

“Are you going to continue to suffer? Or are you going to officially stand up for yourself and say I want this or I deserve this and change the verbage?”

“Dimming myself for someone else is something I will never do to myself.”

“I love me for me, whatever era I’m in.”

“Sometimes I’m going to fall, and sometimes I’m not going to be perfect, but I’m always striving to be. When I make these mistakes I just know to get myself back up.”

This is a fan fav episode. I have a special treat for you today! It's an incredible conversation with the Mother of Holistic Medicine, Dr Gladys McGarey, the 102-year-old woman that changed the world of medicine at a time when women weren’t even allowed to vote.. 

Gladys is internationally known for her ground-breaking work in holistic medicine. She's been honored for being a pioneer, she’s been to Afghanistan teaching women safer birth practices that led to a 47% decrease in infant mortality rates in that area. Gladys has been inducted into the Arizona’s Women Hall of Fame, and the impact of her work has reached hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. 

She accomplished this and so much more and did it through a time when women weren’t even doctors. Talk about resilience and true wisdom! Gladys is testament to the power of a life well-lived and filled with love. 

I hope you’re ready to be blown away. We jump straight into Gladys’ shock, humiliation and unexpected victory after being publicly divorced by her partner of 46 years, and why on Earth she literally put herself in his shoes.

Gladys is the original 103-year-old boss-babe before babes were bossing and voicing their opinions. She’s sharp, fierce, and living her best fulfilled life full of love that has led to 6 life lessons that every woman going through something needs to hear today.

If you’ve been through a painful divorce or breakup, if you know what it’s like to not have a voice, and you find yourself struggling some days to even see the simple moments of life then this episode is the medicine you need.
