Women Thrive

What if the symptoms you’ve been told are just part of getting older, fatigue, brain fog, difficulty sleeping, or struggling to lose weight, are actually signs that your body needs something different?

In this episode of the Women Thrive, Raimonda Jan sits down with Shannon Hernandez, a board-certified family nurse practitioner, nervous system expert, two-time international bestselling author, and founder of Hernandez Holistic Health.

With more than 30 years of healthcare experience, Shannon shares why she believes we need to look beyond symptoms and prescriptions to better understand the root causes of our health challenges. From the role of nutrition and everyday habits to the hidden toll of living in survival mode, she explains why advocating for your health and making small, sustainable changes can make a difference over time.

If you’re constantly taking care of everyone else, pushing through exhaustion, or wondering why you don’t feel like yourself anymore, this conversation is an invitation to pause, listen to your body, and start taking a more active role in your wellbeing.

Because thriving isn’t just about how much you accomplish. It’s also about how well you feel while living your life.

What happens when grief changes your life, your identity, and the future you thought you would have?

In this heartfelt episode of the Women Thrive, host Raimonda Jan sits down with Dr. Argie Nell Nichols and Jan Reed, co-authors of Where the Crabapple Blooms: The Braided Journey of Two Women Learning to Love, Grieve, and Bloom Again.

Their story began unexpectedly at a women's retreat in the Dominican Republic. Both women were carrying profound grief: Dr. Argie had lost her brother to cancer, while Jan had lost her husband to suicide. A conversation that lasted three and a half hours became the beginning of a friendship, a shared journey of healing, and eventually a book.

Together, they explore what it means to live with loss while continuing to discover who you are becoming. They share how friendship helped them feel less alone, how memories can become a source of connection, and how it is possible to honor someone you love while still allowing yourself to experience joy.

Dr. Argie also reflects on the legacy she is building in honor of her brother, while Jan shares how she learned to face grief, rediscover her identity, and find new purpose in helping others navigate loss.

This is a conversation about grief, love, friendship, legacy, and the possibility of new beginnings. It is a reminder that moving forward does not mean leaving the people we love behind.

What happens when you evolve into a new version of yourself, but the people around you still expect you to be who you used to be?

In Season 6, Episode 2 of the Women Thrive Podcast, Raimonda Jan and Abigail Rebecca explore the challenges that come with personal growth, business evolution, and becoming more visible. From imposter syndrome and fear of rejection to outgrowing old relationships and finding a community that supports your vision, this conversation reveals why stepping into your next chapter often requires letting go of who you once were.

Abigail shares her personal journey of evolving her business, overcoming the fear of being judged, and learning to embrace her next level of visibility. She also opens up about a powerful realization during a turbulent flight that helped her confront her need for control and recognize how fear was showing up in her business.

Raimonda shares her experience of following a vision that others might not understand, building Women Thrive, and finding people who celebrate her ambitions rather than asking her to make them smaller.

If you've ever felt misunderstood for changing, worried about what others might think, or held back from pursuing a bigger vision, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to stay in a version of yourself that no longer fits.

Your growth may change your relationships, your message, your business, and your direction. The challenge is learning to trust that evolution, take action, and surround yourself with people who encourage you to become more of who you are.

What happens when the woman everyone sees as “strong” is quietly falling apart behind closed doors?

In this raw and eye-opening episode, former CEO Jacqueline Young shares the painful leadership experience that completely transformed the way she views success, resilience, and authority. After years of high-pressure leadership, public scrutiny, toxic workplace dynamics, and carrying the emotional weight of everyone around her, Jacqueline’s body finally forced her to stop. From chronic illness and burnout to realizing she was operating in survival mode, her story uncovers the hidden reality so many high-achieving women silently live through.

But this conversation isn’t just about burnout, it’s about reclaiming power differently. Jacqueline reveals why “calm authority” may be the missing piece in modern leadership and how women can stop over-functioning, people-pleasing, and internalizing everyone else’s chaos. This episode dives into nervous system regulation, toxic work cultures, emotional responsibility, boundaries, self-leadership, and what it truly means to lead from a place of steadiness instead of survival. If you’ve been carrying too much for too long, this conversation will feel deeply personal.

Young is an award winning leadership strategist, keynote speaker, and former CEO in public education who now helps high performing women leaders shift from high pressure leadership to calm authority.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you actually want… is the conversation you keep avoiding?

In this deeply emotional and powerful episode, legacy strategist and speaker Dr. Argie Nell Nichols opens up about the untold stories, painful family wounds, and life-changing lessons that shaped her mission to help women preserve more than just money and possessions. From discovering hidden Cherokee ancestry at nearly 50 years old to navigating grief, family conflict, lost identity, and reclaiming her voice after years of silence, Dr. Argie shares why women must stop waiting for “someday” and start telling the stories that matter now.

This conversation talks about legacy, generational healing, courage, grief, reinvention, and the hard truths many families never talk about. It’s about “poking the bear”, having the uncomfortable conversations, preserving wisdom before it’s lost, and refusing to take your stories to the grave. If you’ve ever felt silenced, overlooked, afraid to share your truth, or unsure how to leave a meaningful legacy behind, this episode will challenge you to rethink what really matters.

Serving high-achieving women entering a reflective stage of life, Dr. Nichols addresses a critical gap in traditional legacy and retirement planning by integrating emotional healing, storytelling, and financial stewardship into one cohesive process.
