My Biggest Lessons From 2025
Send us a text I thought I was recording a tidy little year-end recap. A highlight reel. A greatest hits moment. Easy. Instead, I found myself staring at this year of conversations and realizing something way more uncomfortable and way more interesting. Certain themes kept showing up. Across guests who had nothing in common. Across topics that should not have overlapped. And somehow, those themes quietly rewired how I think about goals, ambition, self-compassion, and what I’m willing to accep...

The 9/11 Story You've Never Heard Before with Diane Davis
Send us a text This episode wrecked me in the very best way. On September 11th, 2001, while most of the world was glued to their TVs watching unimaginable horror unfold, Diane Davis was teaching Grade 3 French immersion in Gander, Newfoundland, an airport town of about 10,000 people that would suddenly become home to nearly 7,000 stranded airline passengers. What happened next is the part of the 9/11 story you probably don’t know. Diane walks me through those surreal days when 38 planes we...

Why You Can't Stop Fixing Everyone's Problems with Leah Marone
Send us a text You know that reflex where someone starts telling you about their awful day, and before you even realize what’s happening, you’re already three steps ahead trying to solve it for them? Same. Which is why talking to therapist and Yale instructor Leah Marone felt like someone gently holding up a mirror and saying, Honey, look. Leah’s book Serial Fixer unpacks exactly why so many of us leap into rescue mode even when nobody asked. And it’s not because we’re Mother Teresa. It’s us...

What I Would Tell You If I Wasn't Afraid To Hurt Your Feelings
Send us a text Alright babes… buckle up. It’s just me today. No guest, no filter, and apparently no fear of ruffling a few feathers. Because after years of coaching clients, reading their intro posts, cheering their wins and gently calling out their nonsense, I’ve realized there are a few things I would absolutely tell you if I wasn’t worried about hurting your feelings. So today I’m naming the patterns that show up again and again. The attitude that lets me know within the first five minute...

The Ozempic Effect with Paul Kemp
Send us a text Have you ever stumbled into something that feels way bigger than you expected? That is exactly what happened with today’s guest, Paul Kemp, multi-award-winning documentary filmmaker and creator of The Ozempic Effect: Beyond the Waistline. And the wild part? My actual voice opens his film. Yep, somehow I accidentally narrated his sizzle reel and did not even know it. Life is weird. In this episode, we go way past “Is Ozempic good or bad?” and dive into what might happen when up...

From Perimenopause Panic to Peace with Amanda MacKintosh
Send us a text Okay, dude… if you’ve ever had a doctor shrug and basically say, “Yeah, you’re in perimenopause, good luck with that,” this episode is going to hit hard. My guest today, Amanda MacKintosh, got that exact speech right at the moment when she was gaining weight, feeling constantly hungry, and low-key convinced her body was broken. Her social feeds were screaming hormones. Her doctor was like, get used to it. And Amanda? She honestly didn’t feel like doing any of the things she wa...

Yeah, that sneaky little diet-culture voice is messing with your head. In this episode, I chat with registered dietitian and intuitive eating coach Bonnie Roney about what it actually means to give diet culture the finger and why “being good” is often the very thing keeping you stuck.

Couch →Chips →Repeat (until she didn't) with Tara Bohle
Send us a text You know that moment when you catch your reflection in the TV at 10 p.m., half a bag of chips deep, and think, “Is this… it?” That was Tara Bohle. Homeschooling three kids, caring for a baby, and stuck in that endless loop of exhaustion and guilt—couch, chips, repeat. Until one random scroll changed everything. In this episode, I chat with Tara about what it really looks like to rebuild your habits from the ground up when you’ve got zero energy and even less time. We talk abou...

How To Stop Being Powerless About Money with Mel Dorman
Send us a text You know that feeling when money seems like this big, mysterious force that other people understand but you somehow missed the memo? That was my guest, Mel Dorman, author, real estate investor, and self-described financial activist, who went from living in the slums of Kolkata to building a seven-million-dollar real estate portfolio. Wild, right? But this isn’t one of those “grind harder” stories. Mel started out as a social worker who believed that being broke meant being good...

How To Get Your Kids Off Their G.D. Screens with Katherine Martinko
Send us a text You know that fantasy where your kid looks up from their tablet and says, “Sure, Mom, I’d love to play outside!” Yeah… me neither. That’s why I called in Katherine Martinko, author of Childhood Unplugged and professional voice of reason, to talk about how to get our kids (and let’s be honest, ourselves) off the screens without moving to the woods or starting a commune. Katherine lives what she calls a “digital minimalist” lifestyle. No TV. No tablets. Her three boys don’t even...

What Happens When You Get Spiritual (But Not Religious) with Anne Bokma
Send us a text Okay friends, we’re getting our woo on. And before you roll your eyes, let’s talk about that word for a sec. My guest today, award-winning journalist Anne Bokma, makes an amazing point: why do we call women’s spiritual practices “woo woo” while accepting some seriously wild stuff from organized religion as totally normal? Virgin births, anyone? Anne is the author of My Year of Living Spiritually: From Woo Woo to Wonderful, and this conversation had me nodding, laughing, and ge...

Is The Secret To Fitness...Mall Walking?? with Krista Catwood
Send us a text Ok, so you know how most people think of mall walking as the thing your grandma does in her pastel tracksuit, swinging her arms while passing Sears for the 18th time? Well, my guest today, Krista Katwood, has taken that concept, cranked it to 11, and turned it into a full-on community movement that’s now making headlines everywhere from People Magazine to The Kelly Clarkson Show. Krista absolutely hated exercise; like, the idea of a treadmill gave her panic attacks (same, girl)...

Low Libido In Menopause? Here's The Plan with Dr. Cheryl Fraser

When I first aired this conversation with Rachel Rodgers, author of We Should All Be Millionaires and Future Millionaire, you guys blew up my inbox with DMs and comments. Clearly, it hit a nerve. So if you missed it the first time (Ep 93) or just want to get re-inspired, here’s your chance to soak it all in again. Rachel is a total powerhouse who’s made it her mission to help women step into their financial power. And ...

Meet The World's Worst Mom with Lenore Skenazy

That mom is my guest today, Lenore Skenazy, and she’s been lovingly (and infamously) dubbed “The World’s Worst Mom.” Spoiler: she’s actually one of the bravest, funniest, and most sensible voices in parenting today. Lenore’s simple act of trusting her kid sparked a global conversation about parenting, independence, and the culture of fear we’v...

What Every Woman Over 40 Needs To Know Before Lifting Another Dumbbell
Send us a text Alright, friends, let’s talk straight: if you’re over 40 and still slogging through random workouts, obsessing over fad diets, or clinging to those cute little 5lb dumbbells… we need to have a heart-to-heart. This episode is the replay of a live presentation I gave to over 2,600 women (yeah, the Zoom room actually maxed out, wild). And I didn’t hold back. Because here’s the truth: what worked in your 20s isn’t going to cut it anymore. And no, it’s not because you’re “broken” or...

This is part two of my chat with Dr. Allan Bacon, strength coach, medical pro, and professional BS buster. (If you missed part one, go back.
