The Cycle Advantage
In this solo, from-the-heart episode, I’m sharing something completely unplanned, but too important not to record. After a powerful call with a client (and some serious energy downloads), I had to jump on and unpack what might just be the missing piece in your coaching, content, and conversions: ✨ The energy you hold for your clients. We’re talking about the frequency behind your coaching sessions, sales calls, emails, and content—and how the way you see your audience changes how they rise. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How your unconscious fears may be projecting onto your...

There was a time in my business journey where I truly believed that more effort = more results. That if I could just master the strategy, stick to the schedule, and keep showing up consistently, I'd finally “make it.” But then my body started whispering. Then it started screaming. And that’s where this week's guest, Brianna Rose, comes in because this conversation cracked wide open the illusion of success we've been sold as female entrepreneurs… and offered something so much deeper in return. We talked about the things most people aren’t saying out loud including: How...

If you’re dragging yourself out of bed before your body’s ready, ignoring your hunger cues, and skipping presence for performance… it’s no wonder you feel like you're running on fumes. It’s not that you’re doing it wrong. It’s that the rules you’re following weren’t designed for a woman like you. In this episode, I break down: → How cortisol + blood sugar can make or break your mornings → Why gratitude and visualization work (and how to do it in under 3 minutes) → The signs your morning routine is hurting more than helping → How to sync your mornings to your...

What if I told you your power doesn’t come from being strong, but from being safe? In this week's podcast episode, I sat down with Laurien Zurhake, a martial arts expert, educator, and absolute powerhouse and we cracked open a conversation that completely flipped the narrative around self-defense, trauma, and what it really means for women to reclaim their bodies. We talked about trauma-informed spaces, patriarchal systems in martial arts, and how competition without collaboration has hurt more women than it’s helped. And if you’ve ever felt like the world wasn’t built for your...

You’re doing all the things — chasing visibility, hiring mentors, watching your insights like a hawk... and yet, something still feels off. Maybe you’re exhausted and the results don’t match the effort. Been there. In this week’s podcast episode, I uncovered 5 common energy leaks that are silently draining your power and crushing your momentum. I’m sharing the juicy details here too, because I know you’re not here to hustle harder… you’re here to build a business that feels aligned, abundant, and sustainable AF. Let’s plug the leaks, shall we? In this podcast...

This episode might be one of the most important ones I’ve ever recorded. Not because it was perfectly polished. But because it was real. Raw. Unfiltered. The kind of conversation that lingers in your body long after it’s over. Kate Gregory and I dove into the things most people don’t say out loud—the parts of entrepreneurship, womanhood, motherhood, and healing that don’t always fit inside a perfectly curated feed. We talked about what it actually looks like to grow a business and a life that feels aligned when you’re also unraveling old stories, healing generational wounds, and...

You can be incredibly capable and still cry in the shower. You can lead a business, raise a family, and hold space for others while silently navigating waves of grief, loss, or healing that no one else sees. In this intimate and powerful conversation, I sat down with JoBeth Evans—widow, mother, hypnotherapist, and grief guide who brings so much permission, power, and perspective to the table. This episode isn't about grief in the way you've probably heard it talked about. It's about reclaiming your emotions and giving yourself radical permission to feel it all even (especially) when...

Most women are taught to numb the symptoms. Pop a pill. Power through. Hustle harder. And when things still don’t feel right? They’re told, “You’re fine. It’s normal.” But what if it’s not? What if the bloating, burnout, mood swings, and mystery symptoms are your body’s wisest language—begging you to pay attention? In this deeply resonant conversation, I sat down with Natalie Garay, a movement mentor turned naturopath-in-training to uncover the hidden truths about women’s health, the broken systems we’re waking up from, and what it really means to come home to your...

Have you ever met someone who redefines what courage looks like? There are moments that crack you open in the best way and my conversation with Alva Gardner in this podcast episode was exactly that. Alva is a speaker, advocate, and unapologetically bold woman living with cerebral palsy who reminded me just how powerful it is to own your voice as you are. This episode is for every woman who’s been told she’s “too different,” “too much,” or “not enough”—because those differences? That’s where your magic lives. This is what I mean when I talk about disrupting hustle culture...

Something powerful happens when women gather. Not to plan. Not to hustle. But to remember who they are. That’s exactly what happened at the Awaken Retreat, and I’m still integrating all the magic that unfolded. So much came through that I had to record a full podcast episode to share it with you. And friend, if your soul is craving depth, alignment, and that grounded “this is who I really am” kind of energy—this episode is for you. Here’s a peek at what I dive into… The power of gathering with women who are all so different—yet create the most soul-aligned, supportive energy...
