A recent family member passing brought a lot of emotions to the surface and, by the very nature of this show and its title, I wanted to speak on this topic of grief from its many perspectives and forms. See, we don't just grief for those who pass and move on to the next life, we also mourn past versions of ourselves.  We mourn what we thought our life was going to be whether it was the location th...

It's so crazy to me that you can meet someone in a completely different part of their life and have no idea what they've previously gone through, changes they've made, and previous identities they have shedded. I am no different and today's episode is all about an identity shedding story specifically when I went vegan. At first it was incredibly liberating! So many new options and recipes for me t...

I'm so excited to have today's guest on as I knew immediately upon meeting her we were cut from the same cloth. We have similar core values that we discovered in the same mentorship, both have genuine love for people, and have very similar histories.

Today's guest is here to share his story and he's actually the reason I have this very podcast! Kyle Rapp is one of my absolute best friends, a media and performance...

What does it mean to show up truly authentic with all parts of you? Is authenticity worth possible rejection on social media or in real life? Can you accept being imperfect while also helping others? My guest today is now a dear friend I met in a mentorship group called WTHN (I've probably mentioned it on every episode) and I knew very early on we were cut from the same cloth! Meg Bush is a creati...

I really can't believe we are halfway through 2024 and it has been nothing short of a rollercoaster of emotions for me. I've learned so much about myself, got clear on my core values and what lights me up, and I'm very much ready for this reset after moving across the country and I'm ready to implement a lot of what I've learned so far this year. I thought it would be really cool if I changed seat...

I had so much fun recording this episode and I can't wait to do more in-person podcasts and interviews!

This is a wide ranging, casual conversation covering everything from our careers to our dating histori...

I'm going through yet another big life change/update and this time…  I'M MOVING! As this releases, I (should) be almost packed up ready to drive across the country from Colorado to Virginia as my husband Nelson was promoted in the military and we're being relocated for his new position. A theme to this episode will be: two things can be true at once. I want to share my honest and raw thoughts righ...

This is a full circle/inception moment for me because when I think about podcasts and people who've inspired me to reach for new heights, my guest today is at the top of that list. I started listening to his podcast back in 2020 when I didn't have much else to do and really enjoyed his content and perspective. I always thought one day I would work with him and we would become close. Fast forward t...

Are you tired of being on the preverbal dieting hamster wheel? Are you sick of hopping from one diet to another just to gain and lose the same 5-10 pounds? It's time for a different approach and one that helps uncover how you think about dieting and my guess is, that shit is rooted in your childhood much like it was mine. My guest today is the first ever guest that I JUST MET in my DM's and she's...

What does it mean to live beyond labels?   Honestly, this episode comes pretty damn close to answering that question.

This is the ultimate question, right? The entire point of this whole show?  After losing my job and deciding to build a brand new business from the ground up as a solopreneur, how do I seperate myself from my company? How do I justify taking time off when I am quite literally my only employee? How do I navigate being the career-driven hypermasculine woman that I feel like I need to be in order to...

In our society, the pressure to look a certain way goes FAR beyond the size of our bodies. Especially as women.   We have to carefully consider our clothes, our hair, makeup, and even our bone structure! How in the world are we supposed to keep up with what's "on trend" nowadays?!   In this episode, Connie I talk about all things self-expression as it relates to the nuances of the beauty industry....
