Everyday Rockstars

My cheeks hurt from smiling after this conversation with Anna Vocino! She’s a wildly talented voice actress, bestselling cookbook author, entrepreneur, and the most genuinely lovely human behind some seriously delicious gluten-free foods. (And yes, she voices Mrs. Potato Head in Toy Story 5 😵- although somehow we never got around to talking about the movie premiere! Clearly, we need a part two.)...

“Your life is a reflection of how much control you have over your nervous system.” That idea is at the heart of my conversation with Marinet Matthee, whose energy pops right off the screen with her radiant, magnetic aura! She’s on a mission to help women recalibrate their nervous systems, and step into greater sovereignty. As a model, Marinet openly shares her experiences with low self-worth, eati...

Kim has spent nearly 30 years helping people stop fighting with food and understand what their bodies are...

I discovered Leah Knauer while scrolling before bed and immediately started cracking up! So naturally, I reached out - and I’m SO glad I did. Leah, aka “Comedy Club Barbie,” is a comedian, actor, singer, and ridiculously talented impersonator. But what makes her such a Rockstar is that she finally stopped worrying about what everyone else thought and started fully owning who she is. That’s when th...

Rebecca shares the mindset that has carried her thro...

We spend years helping our kids get into college, and then suddenly they’re expected to know how to network, build a LinkedIn profile, find internships, interview with confidence, and somehow land a job. 😳  It’s kind of wild when you think about it.

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the incredible mother-daughter duo behind Satya Blends, Rama and Anita, and I walked away smiling and completely inspired!  Their company is named after their mother and grandmother, Sati, and the word “satya,” which means truth in Hindi.

This year taught me that growth doesn’t come from having it all figured out…it comes from showing up anyway. In this solo episode, I reflect on the lessons, mistakes, and moments that shaped the past year, from building Gilly’s Organics and Everyday Rockstars conversations, community, and personal expansion.
