In this episode she opens up about transitioning from a stay at home mom to becoming a lifestyle & fashion content creator in her mid 30's. In a few short years she's grown her community to over 500K women who have become like family as she's opened up about her health battle.
At 40, she went in for a routine Mammogram and was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer and began treatment 10 days later. She shares how she navigated conversations with her children, cold capping, keeping a positive mindset, and how she felt most supported. She's on a mission to empower women to take charge of their health and change the stigma surrounding cancer. This episode is insightful, inspiring, and truly incredible.

Katie Biggar is a confident, positive, relatable, proud Canadian, who just so happened to go on a national TV show to find love (spoiler alert, it worked). She chats with us about life before reality tv, finding true love and getting ENGAGED on tv. We talk all about leaving a toxic relationship, moving to the USA, self growth, and establishing a successful career in nursing. She shares some of the most thoughtful lessons she has learned over the years and gives you a sneak peak into what's next for her.
You'll get to know who Kaity is beyond the bachelor franchise and I have no doubt she'll feel like your new BFF by the end. Pour yourself a cocktail (or mocktail) & enjoy!

Does my life have meaning even though I'm not a mother?
Graduation Day is a day of celebration for years of hard work as students anticipate the next chapter of their personal and professional lives. However, Harrison Butker the NFL Kicker for the KC Chiefs chose to use his keynote speech to address women specifically saying their most important vocation in life is two labels: Mother and Wife.
His controversial speech has been viewed over 1.5 million times receiving both criticism and praise for his divisive language, religious rhetoric, and idiotic placement of Taylor Swifts lyrics.
This episode is my hot take as a wife, business owner, and woman of faith.
Mikayla is a shining example of the power of manifestation and her story will leave a lasting impression on you.

After hitting rock bottom, she had what she calls a spiritual awakening, where she learned how to shift her mindset using ONE tool, and it ultimately changed her life.
Mikayla gives you tangible and detailed tips on how to create your vision board and execute, how to become aware of limiting beliefs, and explains how manifestation works and how you can use it in your favor starting today. She's currently manifestating a Lambo Truck and shares her process and the steps she's taking to turn that goal into a reality.

This episode comes with a TRIGGER WARNING and is a continuation of the previous episode More Than a Miscarriage.
Miscarriage is still a taboo topic despite 1 in 4 Women who have or who will experience this heartache. Jordan's hope is through sharing the knowledge she learned post miscarriage, other women will be equipped with questions to ask their Dr. and insight of what to look out for so you won't endure the same prolonged pain.
Jordan discusses the lack of proper information and guidance she received in the weeks that followed her D&C procedure which led to unnecessary heartache and physical pain. Through her experience, she's learned relatively what's "normal" and "not normal" after experiencing a miscarriage and provides knowledge of what women should be on the lookout for while healing. She provides questions to ask your Dr. and encourages finding support and community to help the healing process.
This episode comes with a TRIGGER WARNING. Jordan was eager to share her pregnancy with this community, but unfortunately in this very vulnerable podcast episode, she opens up about her miscarriage. Through this experience she's learned 1 in 4 women suffer a miscarriage, and chose to open up about her personal journey in hopes of comforting others while also honoring this chapter of her life. She shares the excitement of discovering her pregnancy and the joy she felt hearing the heartbeat for the first and last time. Jordan opens up about misconceptions she had surrounding a miscarriage and is candid about her experience in hopes it comforts, educates, and supports anyone in this community who has or will experience this pain. She gives insight into ways her loved ones supported her, and what's helped on the path of healing. Jordan also addresses how her personal experience has given her a new perspective on the overturning of Roe vs. Wade and the detrimental impact on women. As she was navigating this chapter, she learned of another Texas woman whose personal decision became headlines for others to judge. She hopes our listeners are able to humanize this issue and develop empathy for those navigating such a personal and difficult decision. Jordan concludes by discussing the importance of self-care during this difficult times and explains how she's rebuilding her confidence.

Georgia Gibbs is an International SuperModel with a social following of over 663K. From first glance you'll be captivated by her beauty, but she's so much more than a pretty face.
In this episode she opens up about suffering in a toxic relationship that over time dimmed her light and destroyed her confidence. Shortly after her relationship ended she suffered a health crisis that halted her modeling career overnight. What started as acne and rosacea covering her face quickly led to countless diagnosis where she was ultimately told she'd never heal.

If you've ever struggled with your health, you know how discouraging, overwhelming and frustrating it can be to get answers. Western medicine often gives a pill for every ill, instead of finding the root cause behind your symptoms to heal at the source. This is where functional health comes in and aims to find the root cause of your health symptoms and uses natural approaches to get you feeling your best. This week's guest, Jillian Smith, is a Gut Health Dietitian on a mission to empower, educate, and encourage women to prioritize their health.
In this episode she explains why gut health is so important and how it truly is the center of all our health. After experiencing debilitating stomach pain, she studied Functional Medicine in hopes of healing herself, and now she uses this knowledge to heal thousands of women. We discuss why IBS is a BS diagnosis, the causes of bloating, why supplements need to be personalized, and how the majority of us are living with parasites. She explains the gut/brain connection and how gut imbalances can cause anxiety, depression, fatigue, brain fog, headaches, hormone imbalances, autoimmune disease, joint pain, and so much more.
Jillian is the lead dietitian for GutPersonal, a female owned company founded by a functional medicine registered dietitians. They offer at home-testing, personalized supplementation backed by science, and continued support allowing them for work with clients all over the country.

There's been a stigma around digestive issues in women which has led to many not attaining the tools, knowledge, support, and help we need to heal our bodies from the inside out. An estimated 100 million women struggle with gut health issues, yet most of us donât talk about it.
After healing a lifelong struggle with her gut, Bridgitte has spent a decade studying functional medicine and nutrition as a registered functional dietitian. Through healing herself, she knew she had a way to change womens lives and has dedicated her career to educating, empowering, supporting, and encouraging women to invest in their health.

Trauma is something weâve all experienced yet is a topic that is rarely talked about. You all know Iâm a mental health advocate, for me personally talk therapy was a significant part of my journey. However, my mind was opened to a whole new form of healing with this weeks guest, Ali Kates. Ali is an Emotional Health Coach and a Somatic Experience Practitioner. This is a topic I knew nothing about, but I got so much value out of this conversation.
Ali has been through extensive trauma and I admire her for holding nothing back in this episode. With that being said, I do want to say this episode comes with a trigger warning as we discuss sexual abuse, and numbing with drugs and alcohol.
In 2019 Aliâs life was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with late stage chronic Lyme, multiple autoimmunities, endometriosis, and mourned the deaths of 7 loved ones within a 3 year period. This chapter brought up old and complex trauma Ali dealt with in adolesence that up until that point she had disassociated from. She knew she needed help with her mental health, she tried psychotherapy, EMDR, CBT, and Neuroplasticity but nothing seemed to be helping. She found a trauma recovery coach who taught her how to remove the emotional charge out of her body, which is when she learned that trauma lives in the body not the brain.
She learned how to cope and heal from her complex developmental trauma and C-PTSD, and has dedicated her life to helping other process their grief and develop strategies to transform their lives.
In this episode sheâll teach you about the trauma cycle, and why so many of us are living in fight or flight. She explains disassociation, trauma bonding, and how trauma in body can ultimately make you sick. She explains how to access anger in a healthy way, and how to not make healing your identity. This episode is beyond valuable and fascinating, and I deeply admire Ali for using her pain for purpose.

If you've ever personally struggled with acne, you know how damaging it can be to your confidence and mental health. This weeks guest, Kayleigh Christina Clark, began developing severe cystic acne in her mid-20s, and in her search for a cure was told by doctors and dermatologists to begin Accutane, antibiotics, and birth control to clear her skin instead of getting to the root of the problem.
Thankfully, she met skin specialist/Acne Guru, and owner of San Diego Acne Clinic, Danielle Gronich , who helped heal her skin within 2 months with no acne scars. They quickly bonded over their passion for helping others achieve clear skin without sacrificing their health. The duo founded CLEARSTEM Skincare which has been featured in FORBES, WomensHealth, Buzzfeed and POOSH.
In this episode Kayleigh takes us through how a painful period on her personal life led her to creating products to change the lives of others. She opens up about her mental health journey, filtering out B.S. on social media, and discusses common misconceptions of clean beauty products. She also shares how she became an investor for wellness based brands, and why she invested in a Co-Founder therapist. This is a educational, interesting, and entertaining episode we know you'll love.

So many of you know and love Jenna Palek from TikTok and from her iconic company Fun On Weekdays, so recording in her studio was truly a dream come true for us. We absolutely loved getting to know Jenna, and wanted to share a more vulnerable side to her that isn't always shown on social media.
She opened up about struggling with her confidence and mental health last year, and takes us through the things she implemented to become the best version of herself. She talks about the inspiration behind creating Fun On Weekdays, and how she's building not just a strong community but also a business empire. Jenna gives our audience advice for finding your purpose, takes us through structuring her day as a business owner, and tells us how she manifested her relationship. We love how open, down to earth, and relatable Jenna is and know you're going to love this episode.
I also had the honor of being a guest on the Fun On Weekdays Podcast, so be on the lookout for that episode dropping this week!

We first got to know Mykenna on Season 1 of the podcast shortly after her iconic exit from The Bachelor. At the time she was rebuilding her life, overcoming the unnecessary backlash from being on reality tv, and finding her confidence again. Her exit speech was empowering for women everywhere, and so many fell in love with the beautiful, bubbly, entertaining, and authentic woman they saw on the screen. Since the bachelor finale is happening this week she answered my questions about what itâs like filming for the show. She gives us some BTS, discusses the toll it took on her mental health and how sheâs grown as a woman since then. We love how transparent sheâs become on her social media about her mental health journey and she goes in depth about the things sheâs implemented to help her feel like the best version of herself.

Did you know approximately 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men experience sexual violence in their lifetime? This is more than a movement, it's a public health crisis and a human rights issue. "Because sexual violence is a community problem that deserves a community response, there is a role for everyone to play. We know this because in October of 2017, 19 million people said âme too.â, changing the way we talk about sexual violence. And that was just the beginning. Reframing the conversation challenges the systems of oppression that endanger us all. Together, we have the power to shift culture and build safer futures." (via #MeTooMovement)

Khaleeqa Rouse is a leader with one of the biggest hearts for people I have ever seen. Sheâs a woman of God, an ironman triathlete, a health & wellness lover, a creator, a foodie, an inspiration, a sister, a friend, an educator, and a black woman.
Together, weâre having a raw conversation about racism in America. If youâre not heartbroken over whatâs happening in our country, youâre not paying close enough attention. This conversation is important, racism and injustice are hurting our country and in order to change, we must learn to heal and reconcile.
I believe the first step to making progress and create lasting change is to listen. I actively listened to Khaleeqa share her story and I learned more about her experience as a black woman in America. This conversation helped me reflect on how I can be a better friend and ally in the fight for equality. I hope it can inspire you to do the same.
I encourage you to lean into this conversation.
While our identities are black and white, we dive into the more complicated and gray area of reconciliation with the hope that as we press on together- justice, equality, and love will be the end result.
Please share this episode with your friends and family! Continue to have a meaningful and loving dialogue within your own social circles. Together we can make a change.
