✨ 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢 𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗗𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘

As we move toward 2026, I’m inviting you to rethink everything you’ve been taught about healing, growth, and those shiny New Year’s resolutions.

Because healing isn’t quiet. It isn’t linear. And it definitely isn’t meant to be done in the shadows.

In this solo episode, I talk about what it really means to heal out loud — with honesty, grace, and self-trust.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲:

🌱 Why hiding your struggles keeps you stuck in shame
🌱 How healing actually moves in loops and spirals (not straight lines)
🌱 Why old patterns resurfacing isn’t failure — it’s feedback
🌱 How boundaries protect your evolving self
🌱 And why tiny steps + big celebration energy change everything

I also share a very real, very human moment where an old survival belief showed up — and how noticing it became a powerful turning point, not a setback.

𝗠𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲:

• One truth you’re choosing to believe
• One truth you’re ready to release
• Permission to start small and imperfect

Healing doesn’t have to look polished.
It just has to be honest.

📻 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲

I am beyond excited to share that my powerful conversation with the amazing 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗦𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗵 — 𝗧𝗘𝗗𝘅 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿, 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆® — is now hitting the radio! 💜

Lisa’s work is transforming the way families navigate addiction and mental health challenges, reminding us that healing isn’t just for the person struggling — families need support too.

In this episode, Lisa opens up about:

✨ How being a compassionate witness creates real connection and growth
✨ Setting healthy boundaries while keeping love alive
✨ The pitfalls of over-helping — and how to break free
✨ Why “parallel recovery” is the key to sustainable healing for everyone

Her wisdom, honesty, and heart shine through every word of this conversation. If you haven’t heard it yet, now is the perfect time to tune in and be inspired. 🎙️

Lisa, thank you for bringing your light, your story, and your groundbreaking work to the show — your impact reaches far beyond this episode. 🙌

🎙️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗞𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲!

I’m beyond grateful to welcome 𝗝𝗼𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗹𝗲𝗿 to the show — this conversation is one every woman needs to hear.

Joan is a 𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 with decades of experience helping women find their voice, feel emotionally safe, and advocate for themselves with confidence.

Together, we unpack why so many of us internalize discomfort, blame ourselves for other people’s behavior, and stay silent far longer than we should.

𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲, 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁:

• Why self-advocacy starts with knowing your values
• How to stop carrying discomfort that isn’t yours
• The power of assertive silence with communication saboteurs
• How scripting and rehearsing hard conversations builds confidence
• Letting go of responsibility for how others react

Joan brings such grounded wisdom, warmth, and clarity to this conversation. Her respect for intuition, emotional safety, and the power of words is felt in every moment — and I’m so appreciative of the space she held and the tools she shared.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too much,” questioned your tone, or swallowed your truth to keep the peace… this episode is for you. ✨

Tune in and remind yourself: your voice matters — and you’re allowed to use it.

🚨 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 🚨

I am beyond thrilled to share that one of our most powerful conversations on 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗞𝗮𝘁 is now hitting the airwaves!

This episode with the incredible 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗹𝗹, founder of Behind the Scenes Genius, continues to inspire—and I couldn’t be more excited for even more listeners to hear her story. 💥

Danielle’s journey took her from customizing MySpace profiles in high school to building a thriving digital marketing and web design business. But what makes this conversation unforgettable is how open, honest, and real she is about the life behind the business—from navigating IVF and overcoming burnout, to standing strong through her husband’s near-death battle with COVID, and rebuilding her work in a way that truly aligns with her life.

Her wisdom, grit, and vulnerability remind us that entrepreneurship isn’t just about strategy—it’s about resilience, purpose, and honoring the messy middle.

💡 If you haven’t listened yet, now’s the perfect time. Danielle’s story is one you’ll carry with you long after the episode ends.

🎙️ Thank you, Danielle, for bringing your truth, your heart, and your genius to the mic—you’re impacting lives more than you know!

🔥 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗗𝗘 𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗣!

This week on 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗞𝗮𝘁, I got to sit down with the incredible 𝗠. 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘇, and let me tell you… this conversation is 𝗣𝗨𝗥𝗘 𝗚𝗢𝗟𝗗 for anyone building a business rooted in truth, intuition, and authenticity.

Shannon and I went deep into what it really means to own your message, trust your inner knowing, and show up as your whole self in your work. Her stance on 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆 — choosing human-centric messaging over generic AI content — is powerful, refreshing, and honestly… a breath of needed leadership right now. 💜

We also explored the role intuition plays in our biggest decisions. Shannon shared the story of how one intuitive nudge led to a life-changing move to Spain — even when every lawyer told her “just wait.” Her experience is such a reminder that your inner voice often knows long before logic catches up.

And then there’s the 35–40 Revelation — that transformative age range where so many of us stop molding ourselves to fit others’ expectations and start showing up in our truth. Shannon and I both lived this shift, and we see it in the clients who show up ready, grounded, and fully themselves.

This episode is filled with honesty, depth, practical wisdom, and so much heart.

I’m truly grateful for Shannon’s presence, her clarity, and the work she does to help leaders protect and express their true voice.

If you’re ready to step into deeper authenticity in life and business… this conversation is for you. 💫

Boy does our subconscious run deep…..I got a BIG reminder the other day.

I was so happy after placing an order for a gift I received and then quickly realized later that night …..

I put the family first over choosing my own gift.

Not that this is a bad thing. It is a big reminder to me that I use to do this because I thought that was the only way or I was selfish…..I realize that is not the case and yet - I found myself subconsciously thinking this way and didn’t even recognize it!

The things we are taught, led to believe, or forced to believe stay with us. It is part of the power of the brain.

It is our choice to decide if we want to continue with those thoughts and beliefs or if we want to rewire them.

What is an old belief you are working on changing?

🔥 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗗𝗘 𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗣!

This week on 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗞𝗮𝘁, I had the privilege of sitting down with the amazing 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗸𝗼, 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 & 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗣𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗣𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁 — and WOW… this conversation is the wake-up call so many of us need. ✨

We got real about burnout, feeling stuck, and what it actually takes to pivot into a life that feels fulfilling again. Kellie shares how burnout isn’t just stress — it’s a sign that your growth has paused. That Sunday pit in your stomach? The loss of excitement? The “I’m fine” when you’re not? Those are signals… and they’re worth listening to.

✨ 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

• Burnout is a nudge toward reinvention, not a personal failure.

• Our identities often get wrapped up in roles and titles — but that’s not who we are.

• Pivoting doesn’t happen overnight. It starts with mindset, curiosity, and honest self-reflection.

• Small wins matter more than we realize. Those tiny daily steps build momentum, confidence, and joy.

Kellie also shares her own powerful story — leaving nearly 20 years in corporate marketing to follow a dream she once buried. That spark led her to create Purposeful Pivot, helping accomplished women transition out of burnout and into a life that feels purposeful, grounded, and fully their own.

We talked tools, mindset work, exploration, community support, and how to reconnect with the version of you that still believes anything is possible.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, or unsure of your “what’s next,” this episode is going to speak straight to your soul. 🙌💫

Kellie, thank you for your wisdom, heart, and the work you’re doing for women everywhere. You are a gift.
