Hey Queen, Flourish!

Today’s conversation is one I’ve been really looking forward to. My guest is Elle Sojourner—a certified lifecycle celebrant, ritual maker, ceremony holder, and fierce advocate for love as a lived practice, not a slogan. Elle does something our modern world has largely forgotten how to do: She creates space for meaning. She brings people together at life’s most tender thresholds—births, weddings, l...

After listening to When God Was a Woman on a long drive, an intuitive moment involving the Tigris River sent me down a path I didn’t expect. As the conflict with Iran dominates the news, I couldn’t ignore the connection between this region’s ancient history — where female deities were once worshipped — and the modern reality of some of the harshest oppression of women in the world. Why are so many...

What if the greatest leaders of the 21st century aren’t the ones with the best strategy… but the ones with the strongest energy? In this episode, we explore the idea that everything — your business, your relationships, your success, even your decisions — operates on frequency. Long before modern leadership books, scientists like Einstein, Tesla, Planck, and Marie Curie were describing a universe b...

Today’s conversation is one of those that lingers in your body long after it ends. My guest, Sara Caso, is a mother, a woman of deep faith, and a truth-teller whose life was forever transformed by her son, Julian—known to many as Super Jules. Sara’s story isn’t just about grief. It’s about choice. It’s about joy in the face of the unbearable. It’s about community, courage, and the quiet power of d...

Today’s guest is one of those women who quietly dismantles hustle culture without raising her voice. Wendy Huson is the founder of Uplevel Wellness and a former corporate leader who took a bold left turn—away from relentless travel and burnout, and toward building a business rooted in health, identity, and self-responsibility. What makes Wendy’s work different is that she doesn’t start with diets,...

Today’s guest is the embodiment of what I call Sacred Action — those tiny, brave, sometimes irrational little yeses that end up rewriting your entire life. Heidi Brandes is an award-winning journalist, international travel writer, podcast host, belly dancer, medieval re-enactor, and self-described “relentless optimist.” She spent 20 years in hard news — writing about politics, tragedy, and even ex...

Today’s conversation feels less like an interview and more like an initiation. I’m joined by Rocio Acquino and Angel Orengo, a creative and life partnership whose work feels remembered rather than invented. Together, they are the co-authors of The Orchid: The Secret Code of Modern Goddesses—a novel that is part story, part transmission, and part invitation to remember who you’ve always been. This...

Today’s conversation is one of those that stays with you. Because betrayal is one of those experiences we all think we understand… until it happens to us. My guest today is Vanessa Cardenas—a Betrayal Recovery Specialist, relationship reset coach, speaker, and author—who doesn’t just teach betrayal recovery… she lived it. After discovering betrayal in her own marriage of decades, Vanessa found her...

They said homeownership is dead. They said renting is normal. They said ownership is outdated. I disagree. From the Homestead Act to modern property taxes… from immigrants chasing land to politicians threatening 10% increases… this episode asks a simple question: What happens to a nation when it stops wanting to own dirt? This one isn’t about real estate. It’s about autonomy. Dignity. And whether...

Today’s conversation is one I’ve really been looking forward to. My guest, Kat Polsinelli, is a speaker, survivor, and advocate who is doing profoundly important work in spaces most people don’t fully understand—domestic violence, emotional and psychological abuse, law enforcement training, and higher education. Kat spent a decade in an abusive relationship, raising two young boys while navigating...

Her journey includes navigating childhood trauma, teen pregnancy, divor...

Today’s episode is a little different — and I’m really excited about it. Because today, I have a man on the show. And before anyone says, “Well… duh,” let me explain why that matters. On Radical Responsibility Revolution, we talk a lot about balance — feminine and masculine energy, emotional truth, responsibility, intimacy, and what it actually means to live awake and aligned. And here’s the truth...

Today’s guest is one of those women whose presence quietly stops you in your tracks. Becky Curran is a woman who has lived through experiences that would have shattered many—and instead chose to alchemize them into purpose, voice, and service. Born with dwarfism, Becky learned early that the world would try to define her before she ever had a chance to speak for herself. She followed the “right” p...

Today’s guest is one of those women who makes you feel safer just by the way she speaks. She understands that beauty is not decoration—it’s medicine. That creativity doesn’t bloom under pressure—it blooms in safety. And that becoming who you truly are often happens later than you were promised… and far more powerfully than you ever imagined. Marcy Barbaro is a writer, guide, and co-creator of tran...

Jan spent 35 years as a martial artist and karate instructor, earning a National Gold Medal, running a successful martial arts school, and teaching thousands what it means to embody strength, focus, and personal accountability. But life, as it does, introduced momen...

Today’s guest is one of those women who didn’t just survive her story — she listened to it, trusted it, and allowed it to completely rewire her life. I’m joined by Amy Thurman, a former educator and social worker whose life changed in an instant — and then changed again through radical trust, embodied truth, and an unshakeable commitment to authenticity. Amy lived for ten years with a broken neck,...

What if the most dangerous thing right now isn’t what’s happening… but what you’re believing and sharing about it? It’s about where stories come from, why we react so fast, and what happens when no one pauses long enough to verify anything anymore. Listen with an open mind. And maybe ask yourself a few uncomfortable questions along the way. #propaganda #definitionofpropaganda #propagandaushistory

Today’s guest is a woman who followed the rulebook… mastered it… and then had the courage to admit it wasn’t the whole story.

Some women make you realize you’ve been living on autopilot. And not in a cute “ooh latte routine” way… In a “wait—WHO’S been choosing my life?” way. In today’s episode, Robyn McTeague and I go straight into: ✨ carrying responsibility vs. choosing responsibility ✨ the moment you stop outsourcing your authority ✨ patterns, triggers, breath, and the tiny choices that rewire everything ✨ Enneagra...
