Release Date: 07/15/2025

She Has The Audacity

Hi everyone I wanted to take a moment today to share something with you directly. She Has The Audacity has had such an incredible year — the conversations, the connection, the depth we’ve explored together… it truly means more to me than I can say. And as someone who believes deeply in intentional leadership — in aligning how we work with how we want to live — I’m practicing what I teach. So, I’m pressing pause for a short while. Not because anything is ending but because we are in the process of building and growing. There are some exciting shifts happening behind the...

Rest as a Vital Sign: Women’s Sleep, Hormones, and the Nervous System with Dr. Leigha Saunders [REPLAY]

She Has The Audacity

Rest isn’t a luxury to earn, it’s a biological need that tells the truth about how we’re living. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Dr. Leigha Saunders, naturopathic doctor, sleep expert, and founder of The Sleep Fix, for a conversation about what our sleep is really trying to tell us. Through her own postpartum experience and years of clinical practice, Leigha has seen how exhaustion isn’t a sign of weakness, but information, a reflection of nervous system overload, hormone shifts, and the invisible weight of responsibility women carry. Her work reframes rest as...

Uplevelling the Status Quo of Healing: A Biopsychosocial Approach to Care with Carolyn Vandyken

She Has The Audacity

What if meaningful healing isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong,” but about understanding the full human experience behind pain? In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Carolyn Vandyken—physiotherapist, educator, speaker, and co-owner of Reframe Rehab—for a conversation that reimagines how we approach pain, healing, and healthcare.

Design Your Life: Resilience, Pattern‑Breaking & Intentional Growth with Dr. Stacy Thomas [REPLAY]

She Has The Audacity

Not every turning point announces itself. Sometimes it’s a quiet decision to close one door—so a truer one can open. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Dr. Stacy Thomas—clinical psychologist, speaker, and founder of the Design Your Life Centre—for a conversation about designing a life from the inside out: breaking unhelpful patterns, trusting what you know, and building practices that support who you’re here to become. Stacy shares how her path shifted from a corporatized health system to a values‑driven practice, why fertility counseling became an unexpected...

Pivot Without Apology with Monica Gold [REPLAY]

The Art of Empathy with Kim Smiley [REPLAY]

She Has The Audacity

Empathy begins as a feeling—but becomes powerful when we let it guide what we create and how we lead. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Kim Smiley—artist, designer, and founder of The Empathy Effect—for a conversation about building from intuition, leading with compassion, and creating a business that feels as human as it is impactful. Kim shares how her path unfolded from nonprofit leadership to wearable art, and how trusting her quiet instincts led to the creation of a movement centered on empathy, artistry, and inclusion. We talk about what happens when you...

Pleasure, Worth, and Rewriting the Script: Unpacking the Layers of Low Desire with Dr. Jordin Wiggins [REPLAY]

She Has The Audacity

We tend to equate vitality with energy, connection, and desire—but when those begin to fade, it can leave us questioning where our sense of aliveness has gone. Many women are left without the language—or the support—to understand why. What’s often dismissed as a hormone issue or “just stress” can point to something deeper: disconnection from self, unspoken shame, and internalized beliefs that prioritize performance over pleasure. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Dr. Jordin Wiggins—naturopathic doctor, sexual health disruptor, and author of The Pink...

Leading Yourself First: Building Trust, Awareness, and Authentic Connection with Rachel Weinstein [REPLAY]

She Has The Audacity

Leadership starts from the inside. Before we can guide a team, we have to understand how we show up our patterns, our boundaries, and the impact we have on the people around us. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Rachel Weinstein, executive coach and leadership advisor, for a thoughtful conversation about leading from self-awareness. With over 15 years of experience coaching leaders across industries, Rachel shares how effective leadership isn’t about control or perfection, it’s about clarity, connection, and learning to trust yourself first. We explore what it means...

Rethinking the Fertility Narrative: Intuition, Alignment, and Agency with Dr. Aumatma [REPLAY}

She Has The Audacity

We often don’t question the story we’ve been told about fertility until we’re handed a version of it that’s filled with fear, urgency, and clinical pressure. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Dr. Aumatma a naturopathic doctor, endocrinologist, and holistic fertility expert, for a deeply nuanced conversation about how we relate to our bodies, our timing, and the expectations that shape reproductive decisions. This conversation isn’t about fertility as a deadline it’s about what happens when people are told they can’t conceive easily, and how that moment...

The Mission Matters More Than the Model: Leadership, Clarity & Resilience with Dr. Meghan Walker [REPLAY]

She Has The Audacity

So many women in health and wellness feel torn between their calling and the constraints of their model—stuck trying to serve more people without burning out, or hesitating to take the leap into something bigger because it doesn’t look like what they were trained to do. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Dr. Meghan Walker—former naturopathic doctor turned entropologist, speaker, strategist, and mentor for practitioner-entrepreneurs—for a powerful conversation about purpose-driven leadership, sustainable impact, and why resilience—not perfection—is the most...

What if being photographed felt like truly being seen for who you truly are?

In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I’m joined by Michele Crockett—portrait photographer, educator, artist, and former critical care nurse—for a soulful, story-rich conversation on the power of presence, creativity, and redefining what it means to be visible.

Michele isn’t just creating portraits—she’s creating a new model of visibility. One that’s rooted in authenticity. In joy. And in the belief that every woman deserves to see herself reflected with kindness.

With over two decades of experience behind the lens and in the classroom, Michele brings both artistic intuition and relational wisdom to her work. Her approach to photography goes far beyond capturing a “perfect shot”—it’s about building trust, honoring the whole person, and helping women feel safe, confident, and deeply seen.

We talk about the challenges many women face when stepping in front of the camera—especially after years of putting themselves last—and how photography, when approached with care, can become a powerful tool for self-expression and personal transformation.

We go deep on:

✨ Why so many women struggle with being visible—and what it really means to feel safe in front of the camera
✨ How Michele’s nursing background gives her a unique ability to hold space, build trust, and guide people into comfort
✨ The myth that creativity has to wait until life is calmer—and how Michele continued to create even in the chaos of motherhood
✨ Her philosophy on joy, imperfection, and how photography becomes a collaborative process between artist and subject
✨ The role of storytelling and self-image in building a brand that feels honest, grounded, and aligned

This conversation is a reminder that visibility isn’t just about showing your face—it’s about claiming your space.

Michele reminds us that beauty is not found in flawless angles or perfectly curated moments. It’s found in laughter. In connection. In being fully present and unapologetically yourself.

If you’ve ever felt camera-shy… if you’ve ever wished you could look at a photo and recognize the real you… if you’re ready to step into your light and tell your story on your own terms—this episode is for you. Because when women feel safe to be seen, they start to see themselves differently. And that changes everything.
