    #591: Why Smart Women Struggle to Grow In Their Business

    2026-06-11 | 33 mins.
    This episode is for every woman who knows what she needs to do but still isn't doing it. Whether you're building a business, growing a practice, or trying to level up your health — if you've ever caught yourself saying "I just need more clarity/confidence/knowledge before I start," listen in because today's episode is a goodie!
     
    In this episode, I'm talking about:
    Why the real problem isn't a lack of information — it's a lack of movement and decision-making

    The sneaky ways we self-sabotage without even realizing it (perfectionism, overthinking, procrastinating on the "wrong" things)

    How your nervous system can actually work against your growth — and what to do about it

    Why confidence is the result of taking action, not the prerequisite for it

    The upper limiting beliefs I personally had to break through when I moved my business entirely online

    What perimenopause and identity shifts have taught me about reinvention in business and life

    The question you should actually be asking yourself instead of "what else do I need to learn?"

    #590: The Strength Training Formula for Women Over 35: How to Build Muscle, Burn Fat, and Stop Overcomplicating Your Nutrition

    2026-06-08 | 1h 13 mins.
    In today's episode, I'm breaking down the exact strength training formula I use and teach — one that's designed specifically for women in their late 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. Because the rules don't change just because you get older. What your body needs stays pretty consistent, and today I'm giving you the simple, no-BS version of what actually works.
    In this episode, I cover:
    Why doing more — more cardio, more steps, more classes — is actually working against your goals

    The role of progressive overload and why your body needs a reason to build muscle

    Why cardio will never be your primary tool for changing your body composition

    The nutrition non-negotiables (or "suggestions," if that word feels better!) that I come back to again and again

    How to think about protein, carbohydrates, and fat in a way that's simple and sustainable

    Why 9 out of 10 times, the problem isn't your training — it's how you're fueling

    The strength training formula simplified: lift progressively, fuel with intention, recover on purpose, and repeat — for months, not weeks

    #589: Are You Living In Your Own Spiritual Smackdown with Jaclyn Shaw

    2026-06-04 | 56 mins.
    In this episode I'm talking to Jaclyn Shaw, spiritual mentor, bestselling author, and sought-after speaker. We went deep on what it actually means to trust your soul's calling — not just the inspiring idea of it, but the real, messy, sometimes terrifying practice of it. If you've ever felt like there's something more calling you forward but you keep negotiating yourself out of it, this episode is for you.
     
    In this episode, we cover:
    What it means to "outsource your power" — and how to recognize when you're doing it

    Why your finances are often the first place incongruency shows up

    The difference between going through the motions and actually being in motion

    How Jaclyn rebuilt her voice and conviction after losing herself in the noise of the online business world

    The "power tracking" tool she gives all her clients — and why most stop doing it too soon

    Why radical self-responsibility is the foundation of personal power

    The God vs. spirit/universe conversation — and why being unapologetic about your beliefs is the most aligned marketing you'll ever do

    What a spiritual smackdown actually is (and why you don't always need a big one to wake up)

    Jaclyn's own spiritual smackdown — the deeply personal story that became the birthplace of both her daughter and herself

    #588: The Feeling Muscle with Dr Jenn Rapkin

    2026-06-01 | 49 mins.
    In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Jen Rapkin, naturopathic doctor, body worker, former dancer, and author of The Feeling Muscle: Sitting With and Outlasting Hard Feelings, and I walked away from this one with so much clarity around something I've personally been navigating — the relationship between what we hold in our bodies and how it shows up as physical symptoms, dis-ease, and emotional patterns we can't seem to shake.
    In this episode, we explore:
    What it means to be a "frequent feeler" — and why that's actually a gift, not a burden

    How the messages we were raised with ("grow thicker skin," "boys don't cry," "grin and bear it") trained us to armor up and disconnect from our emotional body

    Why emotion is a pre-verbal, physical experience — and how learning to locate feelings in the body changes everything

    The concept of "shaking the hand" of a feeling — a simple, powerful practice for beginning to sit with what's coming up rather than numbing or distracting

    Why Dr. Raphkin's approach is NOT about excavating trauma — it's about exercising your feeling muscle one small moment at a time

    The connection between unprocessed emotions and physical symptoms (gut issues, hormonal imbalance, chronic illness) — and why the nervous system is always part of the conversation

    How we've become conditioned to outsource our health, our answers, and our healing to strangers on the internet — and why the most powerful answers already live inside you

    Why safety and permission are at the root of emotional processing — and how childhood conditioning shapes our nervous system well into adulthood

    #587: 5 Ways to Generate 5k in the next 30 days

    2026-05-28 | 31 mins.
    In this episode, I'm speaking to the health and wellness practitioners, service providers, or really anyone who doesn't have a salary and needs to generate revenue through clients and offers. Whether you're trying to stabilize your income, pay off debt, fund a launch, or simply prove to yourself that you can create money intentionally - this one's for you.
     
    The 5 Strategic Ways to Create $5K This Month:
    Sell a High-Value Intensive — Hormone audits, business strategy days, gut health deep dives, metabolic resets, content VIP days. People pay for clarity and speed. You don't need 30 low-ticket sales — you might only need 2–5 clients.

    Run a Small Group Program — A 14-day reset or 4-week reboot. No massive launch required. Just a specific problem, a clear transformation, and a community that needs support and structure right now.

    Resell to Your Existing Clients — Your easiest sale is always someone who already knows, likes, and trusts you. Past clients, warm leads, your email list — they are gold. A personal reach-out converts faster than passive posting every single time.

    Host a Master Class or Workshop — I am obsessed with teaching, and one powerful class can lead to memberships, program sign-ups, and 1:1 clients. People are craving practical, truth-based education. You don't need a fancy event center — I've hosted in my home, and something special happens when you do.

    Package Your Intellectual Property — You are sitting on a goldmine. Protocols, templates, guides, frameworks, recordings. Done is more profitable than perfect. Stop polishing and start selling.
