Episode 256 The holidays are wonderful, and they are also a lot. Today I have TWO amazing women with me: Jennifer Aycock and Christa Spanich, co-founders of Mindful Psychiatry & Wellness of Tulsa, a practice focused on women's mental health at every stage, from 16 through perimenopause and beyond, all under one roof.

Episode 246 Friends, this one is special.

Episode 245 Money is one of the hardest things for women to talk about — and Tricia Daniel understands why better than most.

In this episode, I'm encouraging you to stop shrinking to make others comfortable and start embracing the gifts, passions, and experiences that make you uniquely you. The world doesn't need a smaller version of you it needs the impact that on...

After 25 years of teaching business courses at Tulsa Community College, I've had a front-row seat to thousands of students—some looking to complete a degree, some hoping to advance in their careers, and many carrying a dream of starting a business and creating a life with more freedom and purpose.

What if the key to feeling less overwhelmed, more productive, and more fulfilled isn't doing more—but scheduling differently?

Eventually, I realized something had to change. Your calendar reflects your priorities. The qu...
